a The same voice blowing by the cold wind chuckled and said: "What's the use of recognizing me? They will eventually die here. Originally, I had planned to kill you and cut off all clues, but you accepted the mission and went to the vast ice field.
It’s difficult to determine your location, so it’s been postponed until now.”
Without waiting for Yakov to answer, he laughed loudly and said: "If you want to resent, then resent your boss Yakov. If he hadn't been involved in this matter, you should have enjoyed your life well. Now, even if you don't
I don’t know, I won’t let you go, cry, tremble, despair, and enjoy the last period of your life!”
After laughing proudly and arrogantly, the outside of the cell became quiet again, and there was no more movement. Even if Yakov and others insulted, ridiculed, and begged for permission, they did not receive any response.
"... I will definitely escape. One day I will tear off all your heads and throw them to the ice bears!" Yakov stuttered without any shyness at this time, using the warrior's "taunting" effect.
But gradually, his voice was the only one left in the whole cell, and the mercenaries who had cooperated with him before became quiet and silent.
After being looked at by several strange eyes, Yakov stopped "taunting" and looked around at the mercenaries who were helplessly leaning in the cell. He saw several pairs of cold and slightly hateful eyes.
His heart went cold, and his rough voice became deeper: "Do you resent me? Do you resent me for getting you involved in Sir Duda's matter?"
"We didn't do anything, but we were arrested and could die at any time. Boss Yakov, do you think we will be unwilling to give in? Will we be aggrieved and angry? At least, you want us to know why.
What happened!" Yakov's deputy Huck asked bitterly. Although he still called Yakov boss, there was no respect in his tone.
"Why didn't you say that you had offended Sir Duda? Then I would definitely not choose to stay!"
"Asshole, you are responsible for what you do!"
"Enough! That's enough for you!" Anna screamed suddenly, her voice trembling with anger, "What did you say when Boss Yakov became a knight? When he was willing to let us become his knight attendants and butlers.
, what did you say? Boss Yakov never wanted to implicate us, it’s just that Duda, the villain, is too hateful!"
She was so angry that she burst into tears. She really couldn't accept that the usually harmonious and happy mercenary team would become like this!
"Is it really like what Sister Katrina said, that only in the most desperate and dangerous moments can one truly see a person's character clearly?" She subconsciously recalled a philosophical saying that Katrina had usually said -
This is a sentence Lucien made up when he applied the phrase "when times are running out" to his opera.
Anna's screams and accusations silenced the cell, and then Yakov's dull voice sounded: "It doesn't matter if you hate me, but are you ready to give up hope of escape due to internal strife at this time?"
"But there is a great knight here..."
"Sir Duda hasn't taken action yet, he must be more terrifying!"
"There's no hope!"
Yakov said in a calm but firm voice: "You will only know if you have a chance of escape if you try. Sir Duda's previous words were obviously meant to provoke us, and he wanted to see the internal strife in our despair and the ugliness deep in our hearts.
Human nature, as far as I know, he likes to appreciate the despair and pain of others, so even if he dies, I will not let him be proud. What about you? Do you want to die in his ridicule?"
"Well said!" The sound of applause sounded outside the cell, and Sir Duda said with a smile, "Yakov, I remember that there is a very beautiful lady in your team, who is prettier than most noble ladies.
Pretty, you seem to like her very much?"
"What are you going to do?" Yakov grasped the iron railing tightly with both hands.
Anna said with anger and fear: "It has nothing to do with Sister Katrina! She only joined us halfway and doesn't know anything!"
"I like to destroy the things they like little by little in front of others, just to appreciate their expressions and reactions." Duda laughed more and more crazily after seeing the fierce reactions of Yakov and Anna, "Yes
Two adult werewolves went to catch her. They are both very strong, maybe she won't be able to bear it, hahaha."
"Bastard!" Yakov shook the iron cage, his eyes filled with bloodshot eyes.
Anna shook her head in horror: "You are a devil, you are a real devil!"
According to legend, demons love killing and destruction.
"This is the greatest compliment to me." Duda was not angry at being insulted at all. Instead, he was very proud and continued. He chuckled and said, "By the way, I am in a good mood, so I decided to advance your death time to now, so that you can
There will be no chance of escape."
Upon hearing these words, the blood on the faces of the mercenaries faded, and the morale they had just been inspired by Yakov completely turned into despair.
The Shahran Empire is vast and sparsely populated, and the manors here are much larger than those around Rentat, especially the quiet manor that seems to blend into the darkness.
"Sir Duda's manor has arrived." On top of an evergreen tree, Viscount Carenoldia in a black shirt and red coat stood on the tip of the branch as if he was weightless, and the black cloak behind him swayed up and down with the branches.
And shake gently.
Katrina floated next to him without saying anything. When her mental energy moved, a black and white vertical eye appeared in front of her. The pupils of this eye were all composed of black magic patterns, which looked mysterious and weird.
She followed the magician's code of conduct and tried not to engage in unprepared battles.
"Secret Eyes?" Viscount Karenldia looked sideways, and several illusory bats fluttered out of his body, sneaking into the manor together with the "Secret Eyes".
After a while, most of the scenes in the manor were displayed in their "eyes", including clear posts and hidden sentries, traps and ambushes, the number, distribution, and approximate strength of the enemies, etc.
"There are several places surrounded by mysterious forces. You have to get close to detect the situation inside." Katrina always didn't talk nonsense when fighting. She gave a concise explanation to Viscount Carenildia. Then, her body gradually became transparent and disappeared.
In the night sky.
"The guys patrolling and guarding outside won't be able to detect us at all..." Viscount Calendia said lazily and casually, his body slowly blending into the darkness, "Be careful with the smell of the savage werewolf.
Those defenders and layouts were at the level of knights and priests at most, and were like paper in front of the two near-high-level experts. On the contrary, it was a few wandering adult werewolves that made them even more wary.
The two entered the manor, as easily as walking among a group of puppets! They came to one of the places surrounded by mysterious forces, the hall of the main house of the manor!
The weak fluctuations passed away in a flash, and Katrina used "spell to silence the sound." This super magic skill used her "secret eye" again, allowing it to slip into the main room through the gap.
An altar made of unknown material appeared in the eyes of Yakov, Anna and others, with long swords, daggers and other weapons randomly placed on the ground.
This altar is completely dark, with ferocious faces carved on all sides. They have double horns on their heads, distorted faces, protruding teeth, and are constantly dripping red blood.
After the blood fell on a circle of complex runes at the bottom of the altar, a faint blood mist rose up and exuded a bloody but sweet fragrance.
In the middle of the altar, there is a vaguely human-shaped statue carved, but there are two pointed devil horns on its forehead.
Its red eyes looked particularly strange against the overall darkness, as if just looking at it would cause strong feelings of hatred to rise deep in its heart, and it would be full of the desire to kill and destroy everything.
Yakov, Anna and others staggered to the open space in front of the altar, inhaled the sweet smell of blood, saw the dark statue, and felt a faint restlessness deep in their hearts.
Duda, who looked gloomy and arrogant even with a beard, showed a cruel smile: "There are long swords, short swords and daggers on the ground. These are your weapons, and your enemies are your companions. Who will survive in the end?"
Come down and I will let him go."
"Humph, who will believe what you say? This devil-worshiping chaos man!" Anna snorted coldly. However, she also quietly stepped on a dagger. After all, weapons are needed for escape.
Duda clapped his hands, and a werewolf with sharp teeth and a knight with steady steps came out from the corner.
He chuckled and said: "You can choose not to believe what I say, but in that case, your opponent will be them. There are a total of twelve strong men at the knight level. Oh, one of them is a great knight. You think you can defeat them."
Is there more hope, or is it more likely that my promise will be effective?”
Yakov looked at a strong man holding a giant sword with both hands, and his heart slowly sank. This was the knight who captured him alive. He was also of the "Frost Giant" bloodline. He completely and completely killed him.
Crush.
Can he defeat them and escape? Even he and Anna couldn't help but feel a sense of despair. The other mercenaries were even more miserable. Someone said with a trembling voice: "Sir Duda, Yakov is a knight, and all of us combined can't defeat him!"
"
"Huck!" Anna glared at the deputy leader of the mercenary team.
Yakov's face turned slightly pale. One of his best brothers planned to kill him in exchange for hope of living?
"Don't worry, Yakov's bloodline power has been imprisoned by me. He only has the strength of a high-level knight attendant." Duda smiled, and the faint blood mist became thicker and thicker, making many mercenaries have lust in their eyes.
The light of blood, yes, it was Yakov who put him in this situation, and he can be freed by killing him!
"Yakov, it's all your fault. If you feel guilty, don't resist and give us the hope of living." Huck gasped and picked up a long sword.
Amidst the clanging sound, the other mercenaries also picked up their weapons.
"No!" Seeing their ugly performance, Anna shook her head and screamed desperately and desolately.
Yakov looked at the mercenaries standing opposite him and fell into unspeakable silence.
"Yakov, don't think about being a good person. If you don't survive, then I will give Ms. Katrina to the werewolf friends. They like such beautiful girls the most." Duda added fuel to the fire.
Yakov made a loud sound in his throat and raised a long sword with difficulty.
Duda had a satisfied smile on his face, and the statue on the altar seemed a little clearer.
"In fact, I don't think those brainless werewolves know how to appreciate beautiful faces. To them, women are the same." Viscount Carenildia retorted Duda's words leisurely.
Katrina suppressed her anger and blessed herself with a mechanized mind. Her eyes were cold and indifferent and she said: "It seems that Duda is the host of the devil worship ceremony. As long as we catch him, we can find clues."
"Well, there are no other strong men around, just two great knights." Viscount Carenoldia arranged his tie as if he was going to a banquet.
Anna shed tears of pain and despair, clutching the dagger tightly and planning to fight until death. Her mind was slightly dizzy by the smell of blood, and she seemed to be controlling her emotions of hatred, wanting to kill all those ugly guys.
Duda stepped back a few steps and stood in front of a door with strange patterns painted on it. Then he raised his hand and loudly said: "The feast of killing and betrayal begins!"
A layer of blood emerged from his body, and the lost strength of Anna and the other mercenaries quickly returned.
Anna raised her dagger and waved it at Huck hesitantly.
No, you can’t kill each other!
Kill him, he is a hateful traitor!
no, do not want!
In despair and pain, she suddenly heard a loud bang, then felt the scorching temperature, and the door of the hall was torn apart under a huge fireball.
"Lucien's big fireball?" Duda's eyes narrowed.
Affected by the explosion, Anna and others stopped the fighting that had not yet begun. They saw a handsome man with blond hair and golden eyes walking in in the dark night outside. He was more handsome than any prince Anna had imagined, and next to him
Half a step behind was a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes. She was bright and beautiful. The two of them walked in like they were attending a dance.
"Sister Katrina?" Anna thought confusedly.
Yakov and others also couldn't believe their eyes.
Black wolf shadows pounced on the two intruders. They were the first to react and used "Evil Shadow Strike" because they smelled the most disgusting vampire smell!
"Evil Shadow Strike" hit Viscount Calunldia and Katrina, and then they were shattered like mirrors.
"Haha." A chuckle sounded, and the broken figures turned into illusory black bats, giving off a strong sense of sleep!
"terrible!"
"It's a trap!"
One by one, the werewolves fell down with heavy eyelids.
