My Endless Life

It seems that cars have not been developed in this era.

Although some people tried to use steam engines to make cars that can run on the road, they were eliminated because of their slow speed, heavy weight, and rumbling sound when starting.

Therefore, the main means of transportation in the city is still horse-drawn carriages.

Or rickshaws.

Li Qi is sitting on the carriage at this moment.

A small open carriage, driven by the corporal who was responsible for receiving him.

Li Qi came to the capital, and naturally there was someone in charge of him.

And the person who is currently in charge of Li Qi is the head of the intelligence department that Li Qi is about to transfer to.

His name is Borent Auridovich.

He has the rank of captain and is the general director of the intelligence department. He is also the one who advocated transferring Li Qi to the rear to work.

Therefore, Li Qi is very grateful to him.

After all, compared with working on the front line, it is safer to work on intelligence in the rear.

But when it comes to the intelligence department, Li Qi thinks of Wood's last reminder to him.

If possible, try to transfer to another department...

Li Qi always remembered this sentence. Although he didn't know what happened, Li Qi was now thinking about how to transfer from the intelligence department to other departments.

Li Qi remembered the kindness of Captain Borent for transferring him to the rear, but this did not mean that he had to join the intelligence department.

Going to other departments could also repay Borent's kindness.

It would be better to say that going to other departments would broaden Captain Borent's network of contacts, although Li Qi knew that Borent would definitely not need his network of contacts now.

He was just a small warrant officer, and Borent would soon be promoted to a school-level officer, and he would definitely not need Li Qi for a while.

But it didn't matter whether he could be used or not.

What mattered was whether Li Qi did it.

In the future, when Li Qi stayed in the rear to work, it would definitely not be like before, where he could get a promotion and a raise just by killing a few enemies on the battlefield.

In the rear, he still relied on his network of contacts.

If he wanted to live comfortably in the rear, Li Qi had to pay more attention to these things.

As for returning to the front line, Li Qi had never thought about it.

Although it seems that the war has ceased now, according to the knowledge that Li Qi has learned, there will definitely be another war in this world in the future.

After all, the resources in this world are unevenly distributed.

Originally, there were magicians and knights. Countries with a large number of magicians could suppress small countries and barely control the war within a certain range.

But now...

Guns have appeared, and cannons have long been put into the battlefield. According to this development, tanks, airplanes and other "high-tech" weapons will definitely appear next.

The number of magicians can no longer determine the situation on the battlefield.

The number of people, tactics, and weapons reserves are the key to determining victory or defeat.

Small countries that were usually looked down upon may also become villains, and big countries that were previously regarded as high above may also be dragged down and fall into the quagmire of war.

Li Qi didn't learn much history in his previous life, but he had some understanding of the history of war, and he could probably see the future trajectory of this world.

Therefore, he was very sure that the front line was definitely the most dangerous place in the future.

If possible, he would not want to go back even if he was beaten to death.

"…I hope I won't be like a certain little girl who can't go to the rear no matter what... Well, I shouldn't be able to, after all, there is no X in this world."

For some reason, Li Qi thought of an anime he had watched before he was reincarnated.

It's called "Tanya's Saga".

The protagonist in it is just like Li Qi, who wants to live a stable life in the rear, but always fights on the front line.

But the difference from that protagonist is that the protagonist can't go to the rear because the god of that world is playing tricks.

There is no god in Li Qi's world.

And now he is in the rear.

So there should be no problem.

Li Qi thought in his heart, but there was no reason why his temples were throbbing, and he always had a bad premonition.

Thinking of this, he looked up and found that the carriage had already entered an unknown alley.

"…Is this the way to the academy?"

Li Qi finally understood where the bad premonition came from.

He frowned and asked the man driving the carriage, his right hand already on the saber at his waist.

After entering the capital, except for officers of the school level and above, no one is allowed to carry firearms.

Therefore, Li Qi only has a saber on him.

But having a saber is enough.

As long as he is not attacked by guns, Li Qi can at least ensure his own safety.

The corporal colleague on the carriage did not speak.

Li Qi narrowed his eyes slightly, his hand tightened the handle of the knife, and his voice became a little stern:

"Corporal! Answer my question!"

"..."

The corporal still did not speak, but he took action.

He stopped the carriage he was driving.

"?"

The carriage stopped in the middle of the alley, with a long distance between the front and rear exits.

Li Qi's heart sank, and he instantly turned on his superpowers to look at the corporal.

His heartbeat was fast, the temperature of his legs was rising, and the magic power in his body was also flowing rapidly.

Are you going to attack me?

Li Qi was guessing in his heart, but heard the corporal say:

"Sorry... I'm sorry, sir!! I... I was just following orders!"

After the corporal finished speaking, he quickly jumped off the carriage, then rolled on the ground and quickly bounced up.

Then...

He ran out like crazy, so fast that it seemed like he was running for his life, which made Li Qi stunned.

Ran away?

Not going to attack me?

No!

Li Qi thought the corporal would attack him, and when he saw the man running away, he was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted.

The person who would really attack him was not the corporal officer who brought him here.

But the other people who were ambushing here!

The magic power was stimulated, and the superpower expanded the range.

Li Qi really noticed several figures with red outlines on their bodies behind the garbage heaps, behind the broken walls, and in the shadows.

After the corporal ran away, they either walked out of their hiding places or jumped down from above, and surrounded Li Qi in just a few seconds.

This is an ambush.

An ambush on Li Qi!

Such a thing actually happened in the capital? Is the security in the capital so bad now? And I shouldn't have offended anyone, so why would so many people come to besiege me?

Li Qi had all kinds of guesses in his mind for a while.

But his hands were not slow.

After seeing himself being besieged, Li Qi did not choose to get off the carriage, but tore off the copper button on his military uniform pocket, flicked his finger, and flicked it onto the horse's butt.

"Uh-huh-huh-huh--!"

The pain on the butt made the horse scream.

It raised its front hooves high, and then rushed madly towards the alley with the carriage behind it and Li Qi in the carriage!

The crowd around did not dare to compete with the reckless horse, and made way.

However, when the carriage was about to run out of the alley, several gunshots suddenly came from above.

Bang bang bang bang!

Four shots in a row, three of which penetrated the rope pulling the carriage, separating the carriage and the horse.

The remaining one.

Flying straight to Li Qi sitting in the carriage!

When he heard the gunshots, or even earlier, when he sensed that someone above was pointing a gun at him, Li Qi was ready for defense.

Double magic shields protect himself.

The magic entanglement technique wrapped around his vitals.

Then Li Qi picked up the saber and jumped down from the carriage.

The carriage without the horse rushed forward under inertia, and finally lost balance and hit the wall of the alley and turned over.

The luggage inside was scattered all over the ground.

But Li Qi had already landed on the ground before that, and at the same time threw out the scabbard, using the scabbard as a hidden weapon, and threw it at the attacker who shot from above!

Bang!

A gunshot shattered the flying scabbard.

Then the gunman who ambushed above also jumped down from above and landed on the side of Li Qi, blocking the exit of the alley.

There were people in front and behind, and Li Qi was surrounded from front and back, and he had no way to escape!

"... Seven."

Holding the saber tightly and counting the number of enemies, Li Qi's heart sank slightly.

There were seven people who ambushed him.

And among these seven people, there were four level one, two level two, and one level three magic users.

Even among these seven people, two of them were holding guns.

A bolt-action rifle.

A revolver.

The one who just hit the carriage rope accurately was the one using the revolver.

This person is not only the only third-level magic user among the crowd, but also a sharpshooter.

This is troublesome.

Please add this to your collection, please!
