CH.18 Under siege

With heavy shackles, Haruka and Hetila were taken to the deepest part of the barracks. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoA black, makeshift building is guarded by several heavily armed knights.

"Duke Sainz, my subordinates have brought people here. The knight who led the way reported to the man in the room.

"Let them in. The man sat down in his chair and looked at the holy sword Enkidu on the table in front of him.

When Haruka and Hetila walked in, the man's gaze rested on Haruka's body.

"Duke, it's been a long time. Hetila saluted respectfully to the man in front of her.

"Yes, it's been so long since we last met at the royal banquet. Sainz stood up, "I didn't expect to meet in such a form." He slowly walked up to Hetila and untied her shackles.

"I'm sorry, but due to the failure of the assassination mission, I escaped across the battle line in embarrassment, and the entire assassination team was sacrificed except for me. ”

"Is there information that the Templars were also involved in this operation?"

"It seems that this is true, our actions were picked up by the Templars and given prior notice to the Imperial side, and we were pursued by the Templars subsequently. ”

"Isn't that damn guy dedicated to serving the gods, why would he meddle in state-to-state affairs. ”

"It's all my fault, my lack of preparation, my wrong assessment of the situation on the battlefield... ”

"You've done a great job, and you've managed to bring back the national treasure. Sainz said, touching the sword on the table with his hand.

"That... Excuse me, can you help me untie this shackle as well. Seeing that he was being ignored, Haruka on the side finally couldn't help but speak.

"Sorry for ignoring you... Hetila walked up to Haruka apologetically, trying to help Haruka untie her.

"Wait a minute, please. Sainz grabbed her, "Your name is Haruka, right?" ”

"That's right. ”

"I'm grateful to you for saving Hetila, but since your identity is unknown, and the report says that you seem to have some unclear connection to the Temple, I'm going to grieve you for the time being until I'm completely discouraged from your suspicion. ”

"Well, you can understand my suspicions, but I can't save Iska if I keep doing this. ”

"Yes, Duke Sainz, Haruka can be trusted! she can fight against the enemy in order to save me... ”

"What if this is just a bitter drama with the enemy? How can you escape from the siege of the enemy army alone, there are not many people in this world who can do such a thing. ”

"Are you doubting my strength? If you don't mind, it's okay to go out and fight?" Haruka waved the shackles in his hand.

"I'm sorry, but there's no time to waste here, but while you're coming, the Empire's Night Stalker has already arrived in the war zone. ”

"What?!so fast?"

"Is Iscar on it?" Haruka asked impatiently.

"You'll understand when you read this. Sayles took out a piece of letter from behind him and displayed it in front of the two of them, except for some relatively official words, which roughly meant that Iska had been sent to the battlefield as a hostage, and if Wang **** did not withdraw his troops, then Iska's safety could not be guaranteed. "The time limit given by the other party is until noon tomorrow, and there is not much time left for us. ”

"Then hurry up and make a plan!" Haruka shouted at him excitedly.

"I'll go to the war room to make plans in a moment, and you have to stay in the barracks. ”

"What! Are you kidding? The other party must have expected you to go to the rescue, so your rescue operation would have been very difficult without me!!"

"Don't be so arrogant!" Sainz suddenly raised his sword against Haruka's neck. "In the absence of a certain identity of you, rushing to let you join will only increase the risk! And what can a mere adventurer change the tide of battle!"

"Damn!Hetila!What about your promise to me before!!" Haruka turned to look at her.

"Lord Duke... I can guarantee Haruka's strength... And... ”

"That's enough! Say no more! I'm the supreme commander here, and everything is based on my decisions!Soldier! Suppress this adventurer! Then send the knight of Hetila to the camp to rest!" Sainz put away his sword, and the knight outside the door came in and escorted Haruka out, and then Hetila was taken away.

"Bang-" The heavy cell door was locked tightly, and Haruka was left alone in the cold, damp cell. "Damn! Why am I so stupid... Not only did I hand over Iska to my holy sword, but now I'm trapped here!" he searched in his mind for skills that he could use, but all of them were gray and couldn't be activated. "Is it the relationship between this shackles?!" The kingdom's special shackles can not only bind people's hands, but also seal the magic power, which makes Haruka completely helpless......
