Twenty Seven Years - Chapter 433
The scavenger was attracted to leave by Vladislav, and the peace in the city was indeed restored. Coupled with the joy of victory in the war, the Bash government was completely relieved.
Valak and the others who stayed in Winterhold hardly encountered any resistance anymore, and they were secretly active like before, dredging everywhere and accumulating strength.
Seeing that everything is going well for Bash, Verak has the idea of leaving in his heart.
Boin asked him to go to various countries to ignite the flames of revolution, and then connect the flames of each place together to burn out all the rot.
He always does.
But his own understanding is that he helps to start the fire everywhere, instead of watching it all the time until the flames soar like Bresci.
It can’t be achieved in a year or so if you want to get to the main station of the International Equality Alliance, let alone make any huge changes because of his presence.
He is flesh and blood after all, not a god.
If we really want to use Bresci’s situation as the standard, then he is likely to stay in Bash for ten or twenty years. Most importantly, after staying for so long, Bash still may not be able to usher in a comprehensive victory. .
After the sub-station stood up again, recovered and revived with ease, the strength he could provide in it began to drop sharply and be insignificant.
Then it is reasonable, I should go to a place where I need myself more, and radiate my own light there.
Time flies, on August 20th, after a week of operation, the situation of the substation is booming. Keep going like this, and wait until the strength has accumulated to its peak, and then look for a suitable opportunity to leverage the rule of the old forces.
Seeing that the situation was mature, Veraker discussed his thoughts in private with Quentin, Stuart, Clark and others.
If he really leaves, the mainstays here should support the sky instead of him, so Verak is very concerned about the opinions of these people. They need to continue to help themselves, and they have no reason to leave. They have the confidence to face the challenges ahead, and they can go to the next place with confidence.
He was very pleased by everyone’s answers.
They didn’t have self-inflated, but they were also full of confidence. They respected Verak’s willingness to step up to help other regions, and assured him that they would be cautious, modest and progressive, and would always be loyal to this great cause.
Verak also temporarily made a new decision.
Maxim is the biggest threat to the Bash station, even though he is wandering around with a scavenger now, there will be a day when he will wake up.
When he returns, will the comrades of Winterhold fall into darkness again? Will this flame that needs to be cared for be blown out again?
He wanted to help the branch get rid of the biggest enemy before leaving, so as to prevent future troubles.
Of course, after Maxim’s death, someone will soon replace him as the leader of the scavengers. It’s just that this position is easy to change, but Maxim’s ability is unique.
Without Maxim, the scavenger is no longer the same scavenger as before.
After the change, Vladislav and the others can continue to contain them. By then, the scavengers will be weak. While they are active everywhere, they may still have the energy to really spread the fire of thought to more places.
It is not easy to get rid of Maxim, at least it will take half a month.
This half month is just enough to notify Murphy in advance to set off from Laizein, and we can also help Bash to stand more firmly in this dangerous place.
Half a month later, Maxim died, and the strength of the sub-station was enhanced. After traveling all the way, Murphy joined him. At that time, he could really leave no worries and rush to the next stop – the Kingdom of Montrego.
After obtaining the unanimous consent of the comrades in the sub-station, Verac sent a telegram to Boyne to formally apply.
Not surprisingly, Boyne allowed this.
Afterwards, Verak conveyed the news to Murphy, who was in Kip City and assisting Keating in running the main school, and asked Murphy to complete the handover of work and immediately set off for Bash to meet him first.

Kip City, International Equality League Headquarters, Keating’s Office
After reading the telegram delivered by Murphy, Keating had no objection: “Have you been waiting for a long time?”
Murphy packed his luggage within five minutes after reading the telegram, and then came to report the matter to Keating: “Well. After you hand over the work, I will take the train and leave.”
Looking at the unsmiling Murphy, Keating didn’t waste any time and let the bird, which was eager to return home, flap its wings in the direction of home: “You go, I’ll take care of the handover later.”
“Thank you.” Murphy didn’t say anything, and this simple thank you contained all his emotions.
“I’m waiting for you to come back together.” Keating didn’t need Murphy to say anything like a different person, he understood everything.
After saying goodbye to Keating, Murphy took the earliest train to Laizein.
In the cemetery where Diaz was buried, he stopped for a long time in front of his brother’s tombstone.
The lives of the two brothers have undergone earth-shaking changes because of Verac, but Diaz once said to him that they would return to their hometown together, and the promise to let everyone in their hometown live a better life could not be fully fulfilled.
“Brother.” Murphy left in a hurry, before he had time to buy a bouquet of flowers for Diaz, “I’m going back.”
The wind at night is very cool, and the cemetery is very quiet.
“I will do my best to make Brother Mengle recover.” Facing his brother, Murphy didn’t say much. He squatted down and picked up the soil in front of the tombstone, and put it solemnly into the suitcase , And then rushed to the train station without looking back.

August 21st, morning
“The scavengers are well-equipped and have thousands of people. Maxim is also extremely cautious and afraid of death. While pressing us everywhere, he is always on guard against us. A normal assassination will definitely not hurt him, and a hard attack may not be successful. On the contrary, there is a high probability of loss. The loss outweighs the loss…”
In the secret site of Winterhold, Verac discussed with Quentin, Stuart, Clark and others how to get rid of Maxim.
Maxim knows too much about the International Equality League.
He has thoroughly investigated a series of operations of the International Equality League in Bresci, and knows that once the International Equality League encounters setbacks, it will try to break the situation by assassinating the enemy’s leader. Therefore, he attaches great importance to his own safety and will never allow The same thing happened to me.
Now they are running around outside, with more troops than the ‘decoy unit’ led by Vladislav. When Verak in Winterhold planned to assassinate them, they felt powerless.
“I knew we should have saved Cosmo’s dog’s life from the beginning, or wore a hood to pretend to be him, and killed him directly after getting close to Maxim.” Oscar lamented.
“People have died long ago, what’s the use of talking about it?” Stuart hated regrets, because regrets could not change the status quo, and would cause inner torment.
Clark folded his arms around his chest: “Or seek support from the Sdr Kingdom sub-station and gather forces to ambush the scavenger?”
“It’s not realistic for Comrade Vladislav to send someone to forcibly eradicate Maxim. The only way we can do it is to achieve our goal with the least risk and loss.” Quentin analyzed calmly as always, “Maxim used to use Cosmo’s surveillance knows our every move, and it is very difficult for us to break into the scavenger. But now, the scavenger is running around, contacting people everywhere, and the difficulty of breaking into it has been greatly reduced. Since then There should be a chance to assassinate Maxim.”
“Hmm.” Veraker was thinking about whether he should go out of the city and go over to handle the matter himself.
The reason for his hesitation is that he still has some concerns about the sub-station. If he could stay in Winterhold for the next half month and watch the sub-station thrive, he could leave with more peace of mind.
Now go directly to join Vladislav and the others. After getting rid of Maxim, there is a high probability that I will go directly to Montrego with Murphy.
“What are you thinking?” Quentin asked directly seeing Veraker’s absent-minded look.
Verak didn’t hide it, and told a few people what troubled him.
Worried that several people made foolish promises to keep him from getting entangled, he added immediately after speaking: “No matter what happens, I am still the acting station master of the Bash branch, and I know the situation here very well. I’m still a little worried about asking me to go there now.”
“Then why don’t you wait longer before going to Menglege, there is no rush for ten days and half a month.” Oscar said.
“There’s really nothing to worry about here. You also know our situation thoroughly, and we can handle general situations.” Stuart said confidently.
Verak smiled slightly, but made no reply.
If it were really that simple and he would be relieved, he wouldn’t be entangled.
“I know you want to go to Montrego sooner. Over there, the warlords are in chaos and the people are in dire straits. If you can go earlier, it is very likely that you can save more lives.” Clark said seriously, “You just go to Comrade Vladislav first. Let’s discuss and solve Maxim’s matter together, and I will stay and contribute as much as possible to help the Bash branch grow.”
Originally, after Verak expressed his desire to leave yesterday and received everyone’s support, Clark also decided to return to Brisey at that time to find Keating to be a teacher in the main school, and at the same time to further study and train himself.
Seeing that Veraker is a little worried now, he decisively gave up this plan and is willing to stay in Bash to shine.
Even if it is Verak, there are very limited things left to do, let alone Clark. But when he said this, he didn’t think he was stronger than Veraker, but expressed an attitude.
“Don’t worry, I can’t let you watch everything.” Quentin also persuaded, “And you can go to Vladislav and the others to meet up. In fact, there are more things you can do.”
“Um?”
“Vladislav has pinned down the scavenger for half a month, and Maxim hasn’t seen you there in the past half month. He will inevitably suspect that you have other plans, and then guess that we are divided into two groups. If you can go there and show your face in front of Maxim and the Bash government, it will also make them feel at ease and further ensure the safety of the comrades of Winterhold.” Quentin said.
His thinking is very clever.
He knew that Verak was worried about everyone’s safety, so he was hesitant to leave. In order to let Verak go with confidence, he listed the situation, proving that Verak’s past can guarantee everyone’s safety.
“Indeed.” Verak was poked in his weakness.
But Quentin’s logic is only part of the reason why he decided to go, and the other part is that he can see Quentin’s growth from these words.
Quentin, who didn’t communicate much with others before and had contempt for others, is now good at communicating and can quickly convince himself according to his own thoughts.
Quentin has grown up, to the point where Verac believes he can be an excellent leader, and to the point where he can safely hand over the sub-station to him.
“In the past, you were an extremely cautious and insecure person. Your mind was even more careful than mine, but the gaps in some aspects made it difficult for you to be an excellent leader.” Verak admired from the bottom of his heart Said, “But now I think you can do it.”
Quentin smiled modestly.
Realizing the meaning of Verac’s words, Stuart shook Quentin’s shoulder: “Okay, it seems that I have to call you Quentin Station Master from now on.”
“Master Quentin!” Oscar joked.
“So you decided to go?” Clark asked with a smile.
“Well, I’ll leave after lunch. After Maxim’s matter is settled, I will go to Montrego with Comrade Murphy.” Verak settled down.
They were about to leave with Verak, and the joy that had just risen faded on several people.
“Monlego can be said to be the most chaotic place in the world. You must pay attention to safety when you go there.” Stuart worried.
“There is Comrade Connie.” Verac smiled at Connie.
Connie’s duty is to protect his safety, and on the way to Bash, after hearing about Murphy’s experience, Connie and Verac mentioned that she would meet Murphy at that time.
“Don’t worry, before I die, Comrade Verak will never be injured.” Connie assured several people.
“You don’t need to be so serious, but you really have to get used to life and death.” Verak looked at this group of young comrades who were considered to be making progress, feeling a little sad.
“Don’t scare us with such words.” The emotional Oscar’s eyes were red, “After the victory, I want to meet you again and have a good chat.”
“Especially you, fine.” Verak rubbed Oscar’s head.
“Comrade Veraker, I also want to meet you in the future.” Stuart was reluctant.
Verak laughed and said: “I haven’t left yet, why do you all think I’m going to die? It really doesn’t have to be so serious, I can’t guarantee that we will meet again, but being able to work together for such a period of time, for us I am deeply honored and satisfied to have fought together for a great cause.”
After a brief chat, Verak seized the time to convene a meeting of the cadres, and appointed Quentin to take over his work as the new acting station chief of the Bash branch of the International Equality League.
After lunch, Verac and Connie packed their luggage, bid farewell to everyone, and left the place where they had stayed for less than two months under the **** of their comrades, heading west.
Go to a new battlefield and prepare for a new struggle.
