No matter how good your acting skills are, there will eventually be flaws unless the actor doesn't know he is acting.
Ethan sincerely surrendered to Cassati and won Cassati's trust with practical actions.
He had great feelings for Edwina, but he cherished his own life even more. When he found out that Reggie was unwilling to use war to solve the problem, he basically gave up hope in Edwina.
He knew how terrifying it was to follow Kassati, and he also knew what a scary place Zhilin City would become under Kassati's rule.
But he wants to live, which is more important to him than anything else. Judging from the current situation, taking refuge in Sakati can give him the greatest chance of survival.
"Are you sure?" Cassati looked Ethan up and down, "Edwina is really going to attack the prison tomorrow night?"
"Yes, she organized an army of three hundred people, two hundred of which she will personally command, and one hundred of which I will command. She will lead the army to attack the prison first, and after you and the Punisher show up,
Then I will lead the army and anti-fans to fight you."
"Stupid witch, extremely stupid conspiracy!" Cassati stood up, and Ethan instinctively took a few steps back, partly out of awe of Cassati, and partly out of disgust at the smell of her body.
Perhaps because her life was too "holy", she had a very "plain" smell, like the dusty smell emitted by a dried corpse.
Ethan, who was used to the smell of powder, was really not used to this smell. He couldn't help but feel nauseated when he thought about having to smell this smell in the next few decades.
Cassati stared at the prison downstairs. She liked living near the prison. She liked the atmosphere of the prison and loved watching the prisoners being tortured.
"She never dreamed that her black powder already belongs to the gods. When she gives orders to you, she will be blown to pieces by the gods' black powder," Cassati smiled, and this smile was in harmony with her sinister face.
His face was extremely uncoordinated, "Well done, Ethan, you are really lucky. I have received the will of God. He is about to forgive the crime you committed. Your performance tomorrow will determine your fate."
Ethan returned to the castle with mixed feelings. He did not think that he had made the wrong decision, but Cassati's attitude was really disgusting. He had never given Ethan a word of praise. In her eyes, everything Ethan had done was unacceptable.
It's just atonement.
Why is everyone guilty in her eyes? Is it a gift from her to be able to live? Will I have to live under her mercy for the rest of my life?
Forget it, it's better to be alive than dead.
After a sleepless night, he began to prepare for battle with Wenna the next day.
When it comes to managing territory, Wen Na is a genius. In less than a year since she took over Zhilin City, the aroma of powder has spread throughout the continent. There are more tourists coming to Zhilin City every day than the residents of Zhilin City.
.
But when it comes to fighting, Wen Na is an absolute layman. She can do almost nothing except boost morale.
The soldiers had never fought in a war. Only the guards had some experience in maintaining law and order. They also discussed some tactics. The focus of the debate was whether to directly break through the prison door. Some people thought that it would be safer to climb over the wall.
Poor man, why do you do such a meaningless thing? No matter what method you use to break into prison, the result will be the same.
Hundreds of Death Squadrons of the Punishers are ambushing the prison. As long as Wen Na and the soldiers rush in, they will immediately ignite the black powder and blow up Wen Na, the soldiers and the girls in the prison.
As night fell, Wenna set off with the soldiers. She trusted Ethan so much that Ethan told her that all the black powder was on the carriage. She didn't even check. In fact, the carriage was filled with stones.
Cheer up and keep an eye on the situation. As soon as the battle starts, you must escape immediately. This is Ethan's entire mission tonight.
But after walking through two streets, Ethan realized that something was wrong. They didn't seem to be walking towards the prison.
"Sir," Ethan came to Wenna and asked, "We seem to be going in the wrong direction."
Wen Na smiled and said: "That's right, let's go to the granary first and deliver the food to Prince Charlemagne's messenger."
"Food?" Ethan was stunned. Why didn't he discuss such an important matter with him in advance?
Ethan stood there for a long time, an ominous premonition came to his mind.
"Let's go quickly!" Wen Na urged, "finish the serious things first, and then deal with that old woman. We have plenty of time."
…
Two million pounds of grain is not a small amount. There are only more than 100 carriages in Zhilin City. It is impossible to transport the grain outside the city at once. To show her sincerity, she is ready to send out 200,000 pounds of grain first, even if it is only 200,000 pounds.
There was also a long queue of loaded carriages.
"Ethan, come with me to the granary and take a look," Wen Na sighed, "To be honest, I feel really bad. I want to see how much food we have left."
Ethan followed Wen Na into the granary. When he came to the door of a warehouse, Wen Na asked: "How much grain can a warehouse hold?"
Wen Na shouldn't ask such questions. In Ethan's impression, how many girls there are in Zhilin City, how many gold coins there are, and how much food there are. These are the three things Wen Na knows best.
"This warehouse can accommodate..." Before Ethan could finish his answer, two guards suddenly pushed him into the warehouse.
Modesa was waiting for him in the warehouse. He kicked Ethan in the stomach, and then broke Ethan's leg with a kick.
Ethan fell to the ground, and the guards fetched a rope, tied him tightly, and dragged him to Wenna.
"Old friend, you should have heard me just now. I said that I felt really sad," Wenna touched Ethan's face, shook her head and said, "Tell me, why is this happening?"
Ethan remained silent, knowing that everything had been exposed.
"What did that old woman give you? What could make you betray me?"
Ethan couldn't answer this question. Cassati didn't give him anything, she just gave him the right to survive.
"Don't you want to say it right?" Wenna looked at Ethan disappointedly, "Then you must at least tell me what Cassati wants you to do? Where is she now?"
Ethan was thinking about how to negotiate with Wen Na. If he told everything he knew now, Wen Na might kill him immediately.
The brief silence angered Wen Na. Wen Na winked at the guard. The guard took out a dagger and cut off one of Ethan's fingers.
Ethan let out a painful cry, and Wenna sighed: "I feel really sad, my old friend, tell me, where is that old woman?"
After having three fingers cut off, Ethan revealed everything he knew.
"She is in a private house next to the prison. I don't know which house it is. There are dozens of punishers there to protect her, as well as a wizard and a knight."
Wen Na frowned and said, "What is she doing in a private house? Doesn't she live in the castle next to her?"
Ethan shook his head and said: "She knew you would attack the castle, so she went to the private house. This was the knight's idea. He said that the private house was very inconspicuous. Even if the operation failed, no one would notice it. It's so stuck.
Sati will have a chance to escape."
“Where have my fans gone?”
"You are all in prison. When you rush into the prison, the punishers will light black powder and blow you up to death!"
Wen Na looked at Modesa and said, "You heard it all."
"I have known this for a long time. There is nothing valuable at all." Modesa sneered, mounted a war horse, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
