This seems to be what they are currently pursuing.

"Have you ever wondered why the desert is like this?"

After thinking for a while, the monitor spoke up and continued talking to Gerard.

"Maybe it's because we lost the Red King." Gerard gave his answer without hesitation.

"In the hundreds of years since we lost the Red King, the rain forest's hostility and discrimination towards us has been increasing day by day. According to our oral history, the rain forest people helped us at first, but later..."

Gerard said no more.

The monitor already understood his logic.

For a while after the death of the Red King, the rainforest people were still helping the desert people. As time went on, it gradually evolved into discrimination and hostility, which coincided with the time when the Red King passed away.

“But the Great Kind Tree King has also passed away.”

"Perhaps it is because the King of Trees has also passed away."

After saying this, Gerard did not continue to answer the squad leader's question "Why come back to the desert?", but turned around and began to talk to the squad leader about their task list.

After explaining to the squad leader the basic knowledge of the desert, ruins, and the energy machinery of these ruins, and also explaining the difficulty of obtaining the mission objectives, Gerard walked in front of the squad leader again and followed the Gilded Brigade to lead the way for their squad.

The squad leader stared at Gerard's back and asked him, "So, you gave up Fontaine and returned to the desert just to change something?"

"Of course." Gerard replied without turning his head.

The monitor said nothing more.

[A naive ideal.] The monitor commented in his mind.

The team fell silent until a long time later, when they came to a ruin.

"This is our destination this time. We can't open the second gate inside, so we can only move around the periphery. However, this is enough to get what you want." The commander of the Gilded Brigade said to the squad leader and others.

"No problem, we understand."

"Then let's go in."

The team leader took the lead and led his men into the ruins.

Gerard followed the captain's footsteps and prepared to enter.

"Wait a moment."

The squad leader called out to Gerard in a low voice.

"What?" Gerard turned around and looked at the monitor in confusion.

The squad leader took out a few pieces of wet, wrinkled draft paper from his pocket and handed them to Gerard.

"what is this?"

Gerard looked at the draft papers and the messy handwriting on them in confusion.

"This is a popular opinion among us. According to the regulations, we are not allowed to spread it outside. However, the manuscript in your hand is just my personal opinion. Therefore, it does not count as a violation of the regulations."

The monitor placed a lot of emphasis on the words “not a violation of regulations”.

This wasn't meant for Gerrard.

At this time, several soldiers behind the squad leader were looking around and admiring the beautiful scenery of the desert, while the deputy squad leader lowered his head and wound up his mechanical watch.

"It might be helpful to you." The monitor pointed to the manuscript now in Gerard's hand.

Gerard looked at it again. The handwriting was too messy, like a ghost's scribbles. He would have to find time to translate it carefully.

However, it is definitely a good thing to learn more.

"Thank you." Gerard put the pages of manuscript into his bag.

He planned to take a closer look after this employment commission was completed and he settled down in the camp.

"I hope it does help you." The squad leader nodded to Gerard.

The group began to enter the ruins.

In the passage of the ruins, the deputy squad leader whispered quietly into the squad leader's ear.

"Squad leader, you are playing a borderline game."

"Didn't you guys stop it? Why are you coming here to make excuses now?"

"that is not……"

"Okay, admit it, you want to help too."

The deputy class leader remained silent.

"Don't you think he's a lot like us?"

"Gerald?"

"Yes, we are all trying to resist a certain kind of injustice, trying to establish a new, more friendly and harmonious order, and we all hold a naive ideal. It's just that now, Gerard still doesn't understand who his enemies are and who his friends are, nor does he understand the specific evolution process of the desert to this point. He still simply thinks that it is only because of the loss of the Red King. But you and I should be able to understand that the loss of the Red King is a reason, but it is by no means the only reason."

"But how much effect can those few pages of your manuscript have?"

"I don't know. But I can see that Gerald is a smart man." The squad leader looked at Gerald's back. "Maybe, we just need to give him a little inspiration."

"There's a saying that goes, 'God helps those who help themselves'. That means God will help people like him who are committed to seeking change and turnaround. In that case, why can't we make a small contribution? After all, it's just a few pieces of paper, which is nothing."

"He doesn't even have the Eye of God."

The deputy expressed doubts about Gerrard's determination to achieve his goals.

"Neither you nor I have it. Even those extremists who used the evil eye were willing to sacrifice their lives for it, and no one has it either. Lord Jiang Ming... Comrade doesn't have it either. We are all ordinary people, but that doesn't stop us from promoting the development of all this."

Chapter 132 Betrayal

In the ruins, the leader of the Gilded Brigade and his team members were fulfilling their duties very seriously.

Get the complete relic machinery for those later employers.

However, in order to defeat these energy constructs, damage is inevitable.

What they did was to keep the overall structure intact, destroying only the glow prism, and then keep the glow prism of another one intact.

Anyway, the parts of these relic machines are universal.

The soldiers followed behind and watched the mercenaries fighting. They were not just idle, but were recording the battle data.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the level of the people in the Gilded Brigade is not that strong. Those who major in martial arts are only slightly stronger than the soldiers of the Shogunate Army. As for the more advanced combat power, they mainly rely on things similar to the "evil power of the gods" on their weapons to use elemental power, while enhancing their attack power and reaction speed.

Similar to those sea ghosts, it is also a life-saving fighting style.

As for defense, it mainly relies on blocking and dodging.

Their own defensive capabilities do not seem to be very strong. It is better for those who have these special weapons, as their defense capabilities can be enhanced a little. For those who don’t have them, the parts of their energy constructs that are blown away can cause them to have their heads broken and bleed.

"My evaluation is not as good as Kairangui."

The deputy class leader complained in a low voice.

When it comes to skills, Hai Luan Gui has a lot of inheritance, and when it comes to defense, he's even wearing a set of armor.

"Shh, keep your voice down."

Although it is indeed not as good, people are still listening to it live.

As if he had heard their conversation, the leader of the Gilded Brigade urged the weapon in his hand and summoned a crocodile.

“This is the first time I’ve seen this.”

The team members were amazed.

Traveling to a foreign country broadens your horizons.

As for those energy constructs, generally.

The output power is average, and it is not a fatal injury to these strong men after hitting them. The defense is not very good either, and can be cut by ordinary swords and knives of stronger ordinary people. The reaction speed is not fast, and the attacks are repeatedly dodged.

"Don't underestimate these machines. According to the conclusion of the Fontaine Academy of Sciences, they are not devices specifically used for combat. Their structure and function seem to be more focused on construction. They should be a kind of construction equipment. Even this is enough to make people drink a pot. Not everyone can be like us."

Gerard split open an energy construct and took the time to explain it to the soldiers.

"Who needs a construction machine that can fire lasers and also needs to be invisible?"

They complained about this conclusion in their hearts, although they themselves were more inclined to believe it was construction machinery.

Judging from the technical level of the Red King that they have seen so far, if it is to be used as a full-time combat machine, this level is a bit too weak.

"Okay, solved."

The taciturn captain kicked the paralyzed energy construct away and pointed to the scattered fragments and parts on the ground.

"These, plus the few machines of unknown function placed in the ruins, should be enough, right?"

"That should be enough, let's pack it up."

The people of the Gilded Brigade followed the instructions and began to get busy.

The squad leader took out a special camera with his men and took pictures of the surroundings.

After they finished packing up, they started walking out of the ruins.

"I have to say that this commission is actually quite easy. It's just to attack a few machines. Although the reward is less, it saves time and effort. It is much better than the previous tasks of exploring the ruins in depth and following the scholars of the Order Institute around."

It seemed to be coming to an end, and Gerard once again started talking to these rare rice wives in the desert.

"Next time we have such a mission, we will definitely give you priority."

"We are the Gilded Brigade. As long as Mora is here, everything can be discussed. But don't worry, at least we have a bottom line and will not do those black-eating-black activities."

"From the current performance, it is indeed necessary... be careful!"

The slap in the face came too quickly.

Before the squad leader could finish his reply to Gerard, several members in front of him quietly changed their formation, and then, from behind, they used their scimitars to physically stab the captain in the ribs.

Although the deputy squad leader noticed their little movements, when he shouted, the captain had no time to react and was stabbed with a knife.

With eyes wide open, the captain slowly fell down.

"!"

Gerard had no time to care about the commander's situation. He could only quickly gather the remaining members of the Gilded Brigade, draw their weapons, gather their formation, and confront the traitors.

The fallen commander was dragged back by the soldiers in the rear, but unfortunately, the squad leader and others could see at a glance that his heart was pierced and there was no hope.

"Who bribed you?" Gerard asked sternly in the confrontation area ahead.

The few people who had just ambushed and killed the team leader stammered and were unable to speak.

"it's me."

The voice came from the passage of the ruins, and a group of people dressed in the same style as the Gilded Brigade slowly walked into everyone's sight.

From the perspective of the squad leader and others, they could not see any difference.

"The Legacy of the God-King!" Gerard gritted his teeth and said their names.

"You are unwilling to surrender, and unwilling to die, and you want to fight with us for the relics. This makes it very difficult for me to deal with it. I have no choice but to send you off. That old guy is just the first one."

"The Red King's ruins belong to all the desert people. Why do you, the God King, have exclusive possession of the relics? And, if I'm not mistaken, you framed them and threatened them, right? You really planned it out carefully."

"We are strong enough! Look around, there are only two or three cats like you, and those weak Inazuma people. How can you win?"

The visitor did not answer the second half of his sentence.

Gerrard didn't say anything. The situation on the field was indeed not in their favor.

Be prepared to fight your way out.

"All of you, follow my steps closely. I will try to keep two of you alive."

Gerard stared at the people of the God-King's Legacy and gave instructions to their employer without turning his head.

"I don't think so."

"?"

Gerard rolled his eyes and slightly moved his gaze to the back. Aren't you guys quite reliable? Why are you doing something stupid at this juncture?

Several figures holding strange weapons crossed the defense line formed by Gerard and his men, and Gerard looked at them in confusion.

"You just said that it's because you are strong enough, right?"
