Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Unfortunately... there was no chance for Tallulah to continue preaching. With a "bang" sound the next second, the soldiers in the mine directly attacked the two of them.

Tallulah's eyes suddenly froze.

"cut!"

She held the long sword tightly in her hand and aimed it at the etched bullets fired from the gun in front of her.

Boom!

The bullet landed on the surface of the sword blade, and there was a crisp sound. Then the etching bullet was melted on the spot in mid-air by the red dragon fire transmitted from the sword body.

The smell of fire began to fill the air, gradually evaporating the surrounding environment.

"Despicable." Tallulah frowned and looked at the guy who shot her from behind.

Of course, she wasn't so naive as to think this was a game of playing house, she just felt a little uncomfortable with this behavior.

"There is nothing to communicate with you." The leader of the soldiers in the mine raised his gun and fired at Fan Yu who was beside Tallulah.

Bang!

A soft sound.

The soldier's face showed a look of surprise, and the figure standing in his sight a second ago had disappeared.

When the unfamiliar voice reached his ears, the soldier felt a chill on his back. He subconsciously turned around and saw Fan Yu's silhouette.

The firelight revealed a blade that flowed out of the cargo box and slashed across the soldier's neck.

"Unfortunately, I think so too."

Chapter 14 No one is born to be oppressed

Chi!

The cold blade scratched the soldier's neck, bringing out scarlet hot blood.

The latter clutched his throat, struggled a few times, and collapsed on the spot. His body temperature quickly cooled in the freezing night...

Fan Yu's figure appeared behind the soldiers in the mine, completely throwing them off balance. After he finished off one of them, he immediately turned his attention to the next soldier, who had his gun pointed at him.

Without a direct weapon, the red-stained blade became the sharpest object in his hand.

Fan Yu's figure flashed and instantly appeared on the side of the soldier, and he slashed the other's neck cleanly and neatly.

Chi!

Another sound, and a soldier fell to the ground.

Fan Yu did not stop and quickly moved on to the next person.

A group of soldiers sensed the omen that the wind was rising automatically when there was no wind around them. Some soldiers had already discovered the abnormal airflow in the air and immediately shouted, "Be careful, that guy has magical powers!"

Chi!

Chi Chi!

But words are always pale. Even if you understand the power displayed by Fan Yu, you cannot avoid the result.

That cry could only bring about a more despairing reality.

Tallulah, who was standing opposite, had most of the pressure relieved. She stared at the group of soldiers in the mine. She watched Fan Yu killing like the god of death in the field, and she saw it more clearly than others.

Looking from the front, there was only a ghostly shadow in the field, flickering back and forth in the snow.

Tallulah keenly sensed the unnatural breeze in the atmosphere, and at the same time, there was some almost invisible energy surrounding Fan Yu's feet.

But Tallulah knew that it was not a quality brought about by simple skills. Just like when she learned swordsmanship from Koschei before, it could also bring some double images when swinging violently, but it was far from enough to achieve this level.

[Is that an 'acceleration' type of Originium technique?] — Tallulah couldn't help but wonder.

However, watching was enough. Tallulah did not stop. She took the initiative to go to the guard area in the direction of the mine and engaged in a confrontation with the mine soldiers who rushed there, drawing fire from Fan Yu and sharing some of the pressure.

As time goes by...

In the field, under the cover of night, the flaming sword shadows collided with the guns and bayonets of the mining soldiers. The clanging sound of metal clashing was occasionally accompanied by the burst of sharp sparks.

On the other side, Fan Yu was fighting in a one-sided situation.

Compared to Tallulah's fighter-like fighting style in head-on confrontation, Fanyu creates an advantage in speed and brings precise one-hit kills, making him more like an assassin.

In less than half an hour, most of the soldiers stationed at the empire's mines had died.

The few remaining soldiers still in the wind and snow looked at Fan Yu with fear, and fell to the ground with screams under Tallulah's attack, losing the ability to move.

Wait until the battle on the field is over.

Fan Yu and Tallulah met in the center of the mine, and each of them looked behind each other.

Because the ground was covered with a thick layer of white snow at night, the moonlight made it easy to see the battle situation between them. The most distinctive feature of the two was that Fan Yu's back was stained with blood. Almost every soldier in the mine had fallen to the ground and was lifeless.

On the contrary, there were some marks of burns on Tallulah's back, but there were also some soldiers who had lost their ability to move, covering their wounds and wailing.

Tallulah glanced behind Fan Yu and said with mixed feelings, "Hunting, you really don't hold back at all..."

"I killed enemies who pointed guns at me. This does not conflict with what you said before about 'prisoners'." Fan Yu responded.

Hearing this, Tallulah's face was stunned.

Indeed, when she was planning to leave the soldiers to be judged by the infected themselves, the guy in front of her said he wanted to witness it.

but……

Is any explanation necessary?

Tallulah glanced at the traces behind the other person, then gradually shifted her gaze to Fan Yu's face, speechless.

This guy, don't you think he's some playboy who's out to play and can't stand the sight of blood? He even has to explain himself, which is really underestimating her.

Although she was not used to this method, she certainly understood the principle of prioritizing protecting herself in battle.

Besides...

She had killed an imperial duke and left Ursus.

Tallulah did not respond to Fan Yu's words. She only regarded this concern as a friendly care.

"But then again, could you not make the scene so bloody?" Talulah complained as she looked at the blood all over the ground.

Fan Yu said solemnly: "This is an efficient solution."

Tallulah looked at his serious face and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

half an hour.

Tallulah's gaze turned to the infected people below the mine.

Their battle with the mine soldiers on the ground naturally attracted the attention of the infected. Some of the brave infected near the edge quietly raised their heads and cast their gazes from the direction of the mine fence. Seeing the fallen soldiers on the ground, there was an indescribable surprise in their eyes.

Tallulah happened to make eye contact with the infected person whose race was Filin, and the other person immediately squatted down and pretended not to know.

Tallulah was stunned by this scene.

"In their eyes, we may not be their saviors," Fan Yu reminded.

Tallulah also realized that the stories she'd read aloud as a child, where the crowds would cheer after a hero defeated an evil villain, were difficult to replicate in reality. Furthermore, the bloody scene created by the Brahma Feathers was hard not to feel horrified.

"I'll go over and take a look."

Fan Yu nodded, but stayed where he was, waiting for Tallulah to come and negotiate.

In a short while...

Talulah came up from the direction of the mining area, leading the infected Filin and a group of ragged miners.

Most of them have dull and yellow complexions, as if they were malnourished, and their bodies are skinny.

Their eyes were dull and had lost their former luster, as if they were walking corpses.

It was not until they reached the ground, dropped their pickaxes, and saw the corpses of Ursus Empire soldiers on the ground that a faint light appeared in the eyes of some infected people.

"These hateful Ursus people have also suffered this day." A Sarkaz infected person with devil horns on his head and crystals on his arms said blankly.

"Big sister, are we really free?" A Filin child with some Originium crystals on his neck and whip marks on his face asked timidly.

"That's a given."

Tallulah snorted, looking at the frostbite and whip marks still on the Filin girl's face, and said indignantly, "No one is born to be oppressed like this!"

Chapter 15 An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

This was originally just a normal rescue operation by Tallulah, where she collected supplies and took the opportunity to help those who were suffering injustice.

She never expected to gain anything, and her emotions shouldn't fluctuate like this.

But in the mine, even some children who were supposed to go to school had to carry a mine bridge that was taller than themselves and push heavy carts to work, which really subverted her cognition.

“It’s really infuriating!”

"Thank you, big sister." The Filin-infected children didn't know why Tallulah was angry, they just simply felt that this big sister was helping them.

Tallulah lowered her brows and looked down at the innocent eyes that were cast upon her, feeling a complex and inexplicable mood.

The knowledge gained from books is completely different from the experience gained from personal practice. Although she has done many courageous things, every such experience still makes her feel uneasy.

Kosice said that sooner or later she would be disappointed with the world, and the hotter her flame was, the more terrifying the moment of disappointment would be.

But she thinks it shouldn't be like this, there must be things in this world that need to be saved.

She looked at Fan Yu and took a deep breath: "There are more than forty here. According to Old Adam, there are dozens more working in shifts in the nearby transfer area."

Old Adam was the middle-aged man from Filin who had just looked at them boldly. He looked at Tallulah with gratitude, but when he was pushed out by Tallulah to face Fan Yu, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Regarding the incident at the mine tonight, they were both surprised and terrified...

All the Ursus Empire soldiers who oppressed them were killed, but there were enemies in the mines that were even more terrifying than them.

Especially the 'throat cutter' in front of him, he saw the cruel side of the other party.

"Thank you and Tallulah for saving us." Fan Yu nodded and accepted the other party's kindness.

"Old Adam, they leave it to you," Tallulah asked, pointing to a few wailing soldiers on the ground.

Old Adam stared at the soldiers from several mines on the ground with a look of resentment on his face.

One of the captains of the soldiers struggled to get up from the snow and looked at Tallulah angrily: "Let these infected people humiliate us. As the adopted daughter of the Grand Duke, you have also fallen, Tallulah.

If there is to be an execution, it is you who will execute us."

Tallulah frowned. “I don’t have much to say to you guys, but someone needs it.”

Mine Soldier: "What?!"

Tallulah did not explain anything to the other party. She did not intend to fulfill these soldiers' stubborn sense of honor for the empire.

Don't these soldiers know that a child's labor won't be very effective? Don't they know that hungry infected people are less efficient in their work?

Do not……

As Kosice's adopted daughter, she was familiar with the military and political system of the Ursus Empire and knew very well that these soldiers understood this principle.

But they still did so, driven by the orders of the Emperor of the Empire and the orders of those corrupt nobles.

however--

The mine here is a huge basin. Many of the mineral resources are still stained with blood, but a large pit has also been dug out in the snow and ice.

Talulah had no doubt that once these infected people finished digging here, the big pit they left behind would become a grave for the mining soldiers to bury them.

And these soldiers will still remain indifferent, burying those children who have not yet blossomed as if performing a sacred ceremony with a sense of honor of "making Ursus great again".

Tallulah let out a long breath and said sternly to the several mining soldiers on the ground, "Perhaps you should listen to the voices of the infected for yourselves."

The soldiers at the mine were stunned, not understanding what she meant.

But soon, the group of infected people, led by Old Adam, began to gather around them. Those who had trampled on the lowly infected people not long ago stared at them with indifference. They were very familiar with that look.

Whenever they felt unhappy, a slow-moving infected person would appear before them, ready to be whipped and vented. There was no need to worry about retaliation, and the cost was even lower than being a dog on the street in Shanghai. It was as easy as drinking water and eating.

Now, they were also stared at with the same indifferent eyes.

Do not……

The soldiers in the mine also saw hatred deep in the eyes of these infected people.
