Blazewood In the early morning, the wind still carries the smell of the embers of last night's bonfire.
Zhe leaned against the car, looking at Ling with her hands behind her back, looking up at the Outer Ring sky that was dyed orange-pink by the morning light, with a deep expression on her face.
Ling Youyou opened her mouth, her eyes far away:
"If it's because of yourself, then learn to let go and reconcile with yourself."
"But if it's because of others, don't punish yourself for it..."
However, even Zhe, who is kind-hearted, mercilessly broke the atmosphere created by his sister.
"Ling, are you pretending to be a literary girl again?"
Ling suddenly turned around and glared at Zhe: "What do you mean by 'pretending'? I'm talking about expressing my feelings! Outer Ring The morning sun is desolate and magnificent. Don't you think it makes people want to talk?"
"I just think you didn't sleep well last night and your brain hasn't turned on yet." Zhe said expressionlessly, "Or are you trying to change the subject?"
Yesterday, after Zhe entrusted the video store to Ellen, he drove his car to Outer Ring.
But what he didn't understand was - why bring Trigger?
Moreover, Trigger took Griseo away early in the morning, and neither of them knew where they went.
When I asked about the bell, this guy pretended to be a literary girl.
Zhe frowned. "Tell me honestly, where did Trigger and Griseo go?"
Ling rubbed her chin, with a mysterious look on her face. "It's so depressing to discuss missing persons so early in the morning. Also, brother, stop asking about things on the road!"
"Good morning, both store managers!"
At this time, Caesar came with Lucy, Burnice, Lighter and Piper and waved to the two of them.
Today they have to go out: first, to the vehicle parts recycling yard in Hollows, and second, to pick up the logistics vehicle from [Sons of Calydon].
After all, the day of [Inferno Rider] is coming soon, and the final maintenance and inspection of the locomotive cannot be careless.
"Good morning, Caesar."
Ling greeted the five people familiarly, while Zhe nodded slightly as a greeting.
"Both of you, we have to mobilize all our troops today. I'm afraid we won't be able to leave anyone to protect you."
Caesar hesitated for a moment, with an apology on his face.
What happened yesterday left her with lingering fears, if someone comes to attack again...
"It's okay, Caesar, my brother is here." Ling chuckled lightly and patted Zhe on the shoulder, "If it doesn't work, I'll use him to block the bullet."
"Ling, be serious!" Zhe shook his head helplessly.
Really, it seems that since Griseo came, my sister has become more and more deviant.
"Tsk, what a boring man."
After Ling complained about Zhe, she said seriously to Caesar.
"Caesar, don't worry, my brother and I will stay in the camp to repair the HDD system, and we won't wander around."
If she had to worry about [The Victors] doing something stupid, she might as well worry about Griseo and Trigger and be gentle.
The current overlord of Motor League is Pompey, the leader of the Speeder Party [The Victors] and the actual manager of Outer Ring.
[Pompey] is the same as [Caesar], and its name is taken from the names of the three giants of the Roman Republic.
After Calydon was disbanded, Pompey maintained the order of Old Oilfield District with an iron fist.
Under his leadership, Motor League is committed to guarding this land of freedom - Outer Ring, making overall plans to resist the threats of Hollows, and coordinating the allocation of resources in the region.
As Caesar said, oil is the lifeblood of Old Oilfield District.
Once there is a problem with the oil, Motor League can still go elsewhere to make a living, but Outer Ring ordinary residents will only have a dead end.
Therefore, during the eight years that Pompey served as the overlord, if you could use one word to describe him, it would be 'hero'.
But unfortunately, in the game plot, the final ending of this character is - Ethereal, entering the weekly version.
"Lucius, where did you go yesterday? And, where are the Mors people?"
[The Victors]In the camp, there is a man sitting in the leader's office.
He was tall and muscular, with bulging muscles, high brows, and deep eye sockets... but his face was bruised and bruised, as if he had been beaten not long ago.
Overlord Pompey glanced at the yellow-haired young man beside him expressionlessly.
"Brother Pompey, what's wrong with your face?"
When Lucius walked into the room and saw Pompey, he immediately put on an attentive expression and kept spouting compliments.
"Stop talking nonsense. Answer my question, where is Mors? Where did your team go?"
"Brother Pompey, tomorrow is [Inferno Rider], I asked them to check the track safety."
"It better be."
Pompey stared at Lucius for two seconds, and then handed over a stack of documents - it was the contract he had just signed with Motor League and other leaders of the forces.
"This is the latest transportation route plan after [Inferno Rider]. Take it and circulate it to the brothers."
"Okay, Boss Pompey."
Lucius diligently handed over a glass of water, took the documents, and made a gesture of leaving.
"By the way, Lucius. How did I hear that some companies over at New Eridu have been looking for you privately recently?"
Lucius, who had just turned around, paused in his steps, his expression a little awkward. "Brother Pompey, those are a batch of protective clothing ordered by the oil production plant that are of substandard quality. I helped to talk about it."
Pompey glanced at him meaningfully and said in a calm tone, "Okay, go down. Close the door and I'll take a rest."
"Yes, Boss Pompey."
Lucius bent down and bowed respectfully. The moment he lowered his head, a trace of resentment flashed in his eyes.
He could feel that Pompey's body was getting worse day by day.
Although he said he wanted to rest, his forced weakness could not deceive him - because he had personally administered the poison.
Lucius closed the door, and finally through the crack in the door, he caught a glimpse of Pompey picking up the glass of water he handed him and drinking it.
He muttered silently in his heart: Old man, just wait. Tomorrow will be the day when you get sick.
In the room, Pompey waited until the footsteps of Lucius completely faded away, then took off his coat from his shoulders and put it on the back of the chair.
He rubbed his brows and spoke in a low voice to the empty room, "Miss Defense Force's [Herrscher of the 1000 People], and your sister [Griseo], come out."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the inner bedroom was gently pushed open.
Trigger walked out with Griseo and met Pompey's eyes behind the desk.
Early this morning, Trigger took Griseo and sneaked into the [The Victors] camp.
Their original intention was to talk to Pompey about 'Lucius' and about tomorrow's Inferno Rider.
But when Pompey woke up and found two strangers in his room, his first reaction was naturally that of assassins.
So, there was a fight.
To be precise, it was Pompey who took a beating unilaterally.
Although he is the overlord of Outer Ring and has experienced hundreds of battles, who is Trigger?
Defense Force elite warrior, encountered the survivors of Nineveh from the sea of blood and corpses that fell from Old Capital.
Not to mention that there was a Griseo next to her. She just gently placed [Discipline], and Pompey seemed to be frozen, unable to move.
In the end, Pompey didn't survive the three moves, so he became honest.
