“Are you here to kill me?” Wilfred suddenly calmed down in the face of death.

"Oh, you calmed down pretty quickly. The plan has changed. I'm here to save you," the man in sunglasses said, bending down to look at the moon outside the window. "Since you woke up early, let's go. It's always better to avoid running into the elves."

After the man in sunglasses finished speaking, he turned around, opened the door, and walked out.

Wilfred looked at the two heads on the bed, then at the open door, he gritted his teeth and followed.

It was brightly lit outside, but the original residents of the manor had been killed. He walked beside the fence on the second floor and saw some people in black busy at work. They were moving the corpses together, and there were several barrels of oil next to the pile of corpses, which seemed to be used to set the corpses on fire.

The man in sunglasses walked in front, neither fast nor slow, and explained to Wilfred: “The original plan was to let you get in touch with those whimsical guys, so that it would be easier for us to collect the list and make preparations for the occupation of the Merhedai city-state in advance.”

"But," the man in sunglasses gestured, signaling his subordinates to speed up the progress, "something unexpected happened, so we have to end the plan ahead of schedule."

“Elves, huh?” Before Wilfred could finish his words, a man in black ran past them holding the officer and the pilot’s heads. Only then did Wilfred realize that there were also men in black finishing up the work on the second floor.

"That's right. They seem to want to send people to protect you all the time. Even if the empire unifies this continent, they may take you back to the elven continent. You know, the current empire's policy towards the elves is, emmm, rather vague." The man in sunglasses used the word "vague" to describe the Tang Empire's connivance of the elves' hostile behavior.

“Just for a purge operation, we have to sacrifice an aviation regiment, as well as the nearby air defense regiment and infantry regiment? Our lives are worth less than grass?” Wilfred suppressed his anger, wanting to know why the man in sunglasses paid such a huge price.

"Well, let me correct you. The aviation group only lost planes. We were going to scrap those planes anyway. As for the airport, we have talented people who don't need to rest. Let alone repairing it, even if we add a few more, it's not a big deal."

After the man in sunglasses finished speaking, he quickly walked down the stairs. He clapped his hands, and all the men in black stopped what they were doing and turned to look at him.

“Speed ​​up, we’re leaving first, you guys evacuate according to the plan.” After the man in sunglasses said this, he gestured to Wilfred who was following behind him, asking him to follow.

Wilfred followed the man in sunglasses into a carriage that had been waiting for a long time. Not long after, Wilfred felt something illuminated behind him. He looked back at the manor and found that the entire manor was engulfed in flames. He was still too young and thought that all he had to do was burn the bodies.

Along the way, Wilfred changed transportation many times and evacuated from different directions. When the man in sunglasses changed for the third time, he said goodbye to Wilfred and said that he would fulfill his previous promise and that Wilfred could make his own choice after returning to the aviation group.

Wilfred was always skeptical about what the man in sunglasses said until he returned to the aviation regiment and saw the repaired airport and his comrades in the aviation regiment who were intact. Only then did he believe what the man in sunglasses said.

Lars said they had been waiting for a long time, and every time they said it would arrive today, it never came.

“Thanks to you, we not only got promoted, but also changed planes, and earned so many days of vacation for free.” Lars said, pulling his girlfriend in front of Wilfred, pointing at his girlfriend’s belly and said, “She’s pregnant. If you don’t mind, we want you to be the godfather of the child, and by the way, after the war, you can attend our wedding.”

“Don’t you want to consider going back to the rear now?” Wilfred frowned. He didn’t like Las’s arrangement because he was worried that the subsequent battle would not be easier than the previous one.

"Don't you know? Oh, you just came back. None of us can leave the airport. They said that there will be a special mission when you come back. After the mission is completed, we can choose to stay or leave."

"Where is the person in charge? I'll go talk to him." Wilfred was ready to use his opportunity to get Lars and his girlfriend back to the rear.

Lars refused to speak, and his girlfriend, despite Lars's objections, pointed to a small room in the distance.

“You shouldn’t have told him.” Lars looked at Wilfred’s back and couldn’t help but blame his girlfriend.

"But I have to do this for our child." The girlfriend's eyes were filled with tears. Although she knew what she did was wrong, she felt she had no choice.

Wilfred knocked on the door and heard a sound that made him uncomfortable.

"Come in." That was the voice of the man with glasses.

“Hey, you’re back so soon.” The man with glasses greeted Wilfred with a smile.

“You’re faster than me.” Wilfred deadpanned.

“Hi, I just arrived not long ago. Have you decided what to choose?” The man with glasses guessed the reason why Wilfred came to see him, but he deliberately didn’t mention it.

"I want to use my chance to get Lars and his girlfriend back to the back."

"Which Las?" The man with glasses pretended to be dead.

"Russ Gallo, my wingman."

"Oh," the man with glasses nodded and said with difficulty, "I'm sorry, I can't do it. All combat personnel, especially pilots, are forbidden to leave, let alone go back to the rear."

“Listen,” Wilfred walked up to the man with glasses and slammed his fist on the table in front of him. “I don’t care what your damn mission is, but she’s pregnant. Are you going to spare even a pregnant woman and her unborn child?”

"Oh," the man in sunglasses touched his chin and thought for a moment: "Pregnant women can, but your Las can't. Either you all stay, or the pregnant woman can go to the rear, and I will take care of her until the mission is completed."

Wilfred knew that what the man with glasses meant by placing him in a safe place was probably keeping him under surveillance, which he used as a bargaining chip to threaten Las to obey his orders.

“Deal.” Wilfred resisted the urge to punch the man with glasses. He turned and left.

"Close the door." the man with glasses shouted.

Wilfred gave the man with glasses an international finger without even turning his head.

……

……

……

“Thank you, I really mean it.” Lars looked at the carriage pulling his girlfriend southward and thanked Wilfred sincerely. “I wrote many letters to my family, hoping that they would use their connections to get her to the rear, but there was no news. Maybe my family couldn’t do anything, or maybe the letters couldn’t be sent at all.”

Wilfred said nothing.

"No matter what price you pay for this, please believe me, even if it is difficult to block bullets for you in the sky, I will try my best to do it." Lars made his promise.

“No need. Live well and watch your child being born. If I die, remember, I am the child’s godfather. Leave a place for me in the wedding. I don’t care if you have any rules that forbid dead people to attend.” Wilfred said, then turned and left.
