Chapter 222: The Night Attack of the Captives
There were only three people on the Red Pupil's side, while there were a full ten people on Shen He's side.
Fang Tong brazenly inserted his flesh palm into the sword light composed of two must-kill emperor tools, and the red pupil slashed down without the slightest hesitation, but at the moment of touch, the force sank into the sea, not to mention the wound, not even a white mark appeared.
She instinctively felt bad, and just wanted to withdraw the imperial tool, only to feel a huge transmission, and the thin young man actually pinched her "One Hit Kill Village Rain" and pulled it in reverse.
What kind of imperial tool is this?
The thought only had time to flash through the mind of the red pupil, and her body was directly pressed to the ground by a beautiful over-the-shoulder back of the two ceremonies, and the long knife was pressed against her neck and plunged into the ground.
The snow-white skin was full of goosebumps because of the breath of death.
This knife...... It's the same feeling as her Imperial Tool.
At the same time, the other two were also resolved.
Leona, who has great power, is detained by Huby and Joan of Arc with one arm, and Lubbon, who has a silk trap under the Silk Thread Trap in an instant, is also scorched by two electric shocks.
The whole battle started in less than ten seconds.
Even the pursuers had not yet arrived.
Shen He glanced at the fire that was getting closer and closer in the woods in the distance, hesitated slightly, and decided not to startle the snake for the time being.
"We retreat with our captives, Joan of Arc, you and Huby are on the ground and in the air, scouting the situation of the pursuers."
"Okay."
There were no superfluous words, and the crowd immediately went into action.
Joan of Arc can be spiritualized, and Hughby can quietly scout in the sky.
The rest of the men took the three captives they had captured and quickly withdrew from the other direction, and with the strength of their feet, they left the pursuers far aside in just a moment's effort.
The expressions of the red pupils were very quiet throughout the whole process, as killers, being caught was nothing more than torture, and then being killed, they had already had this awareness.
"Master, I've been discovered."
At this time, Shen He's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.
"What's going on?" Shen He immediately stopped.
The rest of the people also stopped one after another, gathered around Shen He in a circle, and Tony even directly turned on the radar scanning power of the battle armor to the maximum.
"There are Heroic Spirits among the enemy." Joan of Arc's voice was a little remorseful, "There are two, they are both of the swordsman Saber rank, and they have already discovered me. β
"Heroic ......"
Shen He subconsciously muttered, and he was a little distracted for a moment.
If there is a Holy Grail in this world, there is a possibility of Heroic Spirits.
And since there is a heroic spirit, it is only natural that Joan of Arc's spiritualization is discovered, after all, the only class that can hide his aura is the Assassin.
"Tell me about your appearance." Shen He quickly came back to his senses.
"I can't see it." Joan of Arc glanced behind her, "They are all hidden in deep shadows, and their aura is a little mixed, but they are much stronger than the shadow servants that the world has seen beforeβthey are already approaching the level of orthodox heroic spirits." β
"Is that so...... You try to see if the other person has their own sanity. Shen He said.
If it is only the remnants of the power of the shadow servant, the only thing left is only a part of the power of the original owner, and there is no possibility of communication at all.
And if the other party is sane, for the existence of a strong personality like the Heroic Spirit, a lot of information can often be seen in just a few words.
Joan of Arc on the other side of the communication was silent for a moment before a voice was heard.
"They didn't reply."
"Then after leading them away, answer the call." Shen He said, and his feet began to move again.
There are also two possibilities for not replying, one is that you don't have sanity and only have combat instincts, and the other is that you are deliberately clumsy, if it's the latter, then the problem is a little more serious than you think.
The brief call in his head did not tell the rest of the people, and the crowd did not ask, but continued to follow him.
Until Tony suddenly stopped.
"River." Tony swallowed, "We may be surrounded." β
Jarvis had already raised a sharp alarm about him, as a large number of huge heat sources were approaching them on the radar detection interface.
It was a group of giant arthropods that were six or seven meters tall and had a hideous appearance.
Dangerous species.
Shen He almost forgot that the wilderness of this world was not safe at all.
And at this moment, the figures of Joan of Arc and Hughby appeared beside them.
"What are these?"
Joan of Arc exclaimed.
Even the Holy Maiden didn't like this kind of animal with a twisted body and many legs.
"Already out of the way?" Shen He asked.
"Well, they chased thirty kilometers in the opposite direction, and they shouldn't be able to spot us." Joan of Arc nodded.
"Then get rid of these dangerous species, and let's find a place to stop for the time being."
Shen He subconsciously wanted to take out the emperor and the demon haunted him, and then suddenly reacted, glanced at the red pupil and the others, and put the emperor tool away.
There are only three people on the other side, and if they take out the imperial tools that originally belonged to Brand at this time, then the only possibility is that they killed Brand and snatched the imperial tools, as for the system copy or something, it is impossible to explain it clearly.
About forty or fifty huge monsters, in less than five minutes, were cleaned up.
The dangerous species in this world seem to be all big guys, but except for a few, the strength is not very strong.
After avoiding the fishy smell a little, the group found a small stream.
Tony took off his armor.
"This is definitely the most disgusting fight I've ever experienced." Looking at the green viscous blood on the armor, Tony looked disgusted, "Jarvis, go and clean yourself in the stream." β
"Sir, I can't make out the language you speak." Jarvis flickered.
Tony realized that he was once again speaking the language that the system had instilled in him, which belonged to this otherworld.
So I had to say it again in English.
This method of indoctrination, while convenient, can be very unaccustoming.
The three of them were tied together, expressionless until they saw Tony's armor close on its own and fly into the stream, when they showed a slightly surprised gaze.
The battle with those dangerous species just now is also unheard of, and the weapons, abilities, and fighting methods that these people possess are unheard of.
"Now, you are our captives." Shen He walked in front of the three of them, his gaze scanning over their faces, "I hope you can recognize this fact, this is the premise of our next conversation, understand?" β
Although he knew everyone in front of him, he even had a time of sadness over the deaths of Leona and Lubbo in the plot.
But he hasn't forgotten who they are.
Killer.
In this dark world, as soon as they come up, they show closeness and take the initiative to help or something, and ninety-nine out of a hundred have bad intentions.
The one left is a fledgling idiot, like the original protagonist.
So Shen He has to suppress his love for the characters in the plot, and he can't brush up his favorability with a pig-like face.
"Understood."
As the captain of the team, Red Pupil looked up at Shen He with an expressionless face.
"But we're not going to say anything."
"I can see it." Shen He raised his eyebrows, stretched out his hand and gently pressed Leona's forehead, his eyes were close to the scarlet eyes staring at the red pupils, but his voice was very soft, "Even if you exchange your companion's life for it, you won't say anything?" β
β...... Don't say. Same reply.
"You're shaken." Shen He smiled.
As soon as he flipped his palm, an ordinary fishing net appeared, and then he put it on Leona's body, and said as he put it on:
"Do you know that there is a kind of torture in the world called Ling Chi, wrapping people in fishing nets and tightening them, so that they can be cut off from the skin one by one with a knife, and if you have good skills, you can cut more than a thousand knives without dying, and you have always had a chance to save your companions before that."
The scarlet eyes of the red pupils instantly sharpened.
His eyes full of murderous intent stared at Shen He, as if he wanted to engrave him in his heart.
"Cut, whatever means you can use." Leona didn't care.
However, this sentence made the red pupil's shaking more and more violent, and there was a moment of panic and helplessness, which even made it difficult for her to maintain the coldness on her expression.
Every time a companion died, her heart was cut like a knife.
"River, are you crazy?" Tony grabbed Shen He and looked incredulous, "When are you going to torture and kill the captives?" β
"......" Shen He glared at him angrily, "Don't you know that there is a method of interrogation called intimidation." β
"Ugh."
Tony was dumbfounded.
After looking at Leona, who had been wrapped in a fishing net, and then at the rest of the servants who didn't react, he finally knew that he had done something wrong.
"The Lord is really funny sometimes." Joan of Arc stroked her forehead with some distress.
"That's what he looks like." The two ceremonies held knives and joined in the condemnation, "I like to see cute girls at a loss." β
"Yes, wow, wow." Mikoto Misaka couldn't stop nodding, "I always like to tempt me with a guata doll." β
For a while, Shen He suddenly became the target of everyone.
This made him a little embarrassed to take out his camera and take a picture of Leona in the fishing nets.
And the red pupil blinked.
It doesn't seem to understand what's going on in front of you.
But she saw a familiar smell among these people, and it was the smell of "among peers".
They are also a close-knit collective, just like the "Night Raid".
"Goo."
At this time, a strange voice interrupted the girls' denunciation.
All eyes were focused on the red pupil's body at once.
There was another thunderous grunt.
Although the red pupil was still expressionless, Leona next to her was a little distressed.
"Red Hitomi, you haven't eaten dinner, have you...... Hey, if you want to kill, you can chop whatever you want, and if you don't kill it, bring some food. β
She could also roughly see that the torture that this person just said was probably just to intimidate them.
"Me, I've got a few chocolates here."
Mikoto Misaka took out a piece of chocolate from her pocket.
It's normal for girls to hide some snacks on them.
But Shen He stopped her.
"That's not enough for her to stuff between her teeth."
Shen He took out a large plate of barbecue beef directly from his backpack, and shook it in front of Chitong's eyes.
The red pupil, who was already extremely hungry, couldn't take his eyes off at once.
Don't talk about her as a foodie, even Leona and Lubbock can't help but swallow their saliva.
"I'm not going to waste any more time." Shen He said in a deep voice, "I roughly guessed your identity, the whole emperor envoy team that was chased and killed by the army near the imperial capital only attacked at night, for the sake of everyone's common purpose, cooperate obediently, we will not embarrass you." β
Consistent purpose...... There was still vigilance in the red pupil's eyes, but after all, he was still unwilling to give up his companion's life easily, and asked slowly:
"What do you want to know?"
"Hunt down your men." Shen He had already gotten the picture from Hubby, "Aren't they the emperor's envoys, those two people who are shrouded in black fog. β
β...... No. Chi Tong bit her lip slightly, and a trace of remorse flashed in her eyes, "They are very strong, and my imperial tools are also ineffective against them." β
"Kill Murayu?" Shen He frowned slightly, "In other words, you don't know where those two came from?" β
"They came out of nowhere tonight." Red Hitomi shook her head.
"And what about the rest of your fellows?" Shen He asked again, he had already seen something in the red pupil's eyes.
"After our hidden address was encircled, we split into two groups and fled." This time it was Leona who answered, "There is also a companion who may have ...... because of His Royal Highness."
"I was caught." Red Hitomi interrupted Leona, her voice lowered, "I saw Brand have his limbs cut off, but the enemy has no intention of killing him. β
"Is that so......" Shen He suddenly stretched out his hand and took the long knives of the two ceremonies.
Before the three of them could react, the sword light swept over, but it directly cut the chains that bound them.
"You all have good fighting power." Shen He looked at them, "If you want to leave, the emperor will stay here, people can leave now, if you want to fight, follow us, we are going to go to the imperial capital to investigate the situation, if you are sure that you are credible, we will return the emperor when you fight." β
Although this was a choice, Shen He knew very well what they would do.
Without the killer of the emperor, he can only survive in secret.
"I'll stay." Red Hitomi almost didn't hesitate.
"Of course I'm with my best friend." Leona ripped the nets off her body.
"I ......"
Lubbo was about to speak, but Red Pupil interrupted him.
"Go back, Lubbock, and don't forget our mission."
"Mission?" Shen He thought about it for a while, and then understood, "I want to inform the revolutionary army, with all due respect, the night attack is already the most powerful force of the revolutionary army, if the empire" "Even you can be easily defeated, then they can't do anything but wait for death." β
"As long as you can ......run," Ako was silent for a moment, "that's enough." β
β......β
Shen He sighed in his heart.
When I watched the anime before, I didn't understand very much, Red Hitomi sacrificed so many partners, and even killed his sister with his own hands, just to help the revolutionary army overthrow the empire, and in the end he was hunted down by the new country.
Now he suddenly understands that I am afraid that in Chitong's heart, the revolutionary army represents the "object of protection", the people who form the new country, and only when they control the country can they be regarded as changing the world.
"Let's eat something first." Shen He handed over the barbecue in his hand, "We brought a lot of meat and ate it as we walked." β
The large amount of barbecue and delicacies in the backpack can be said to be specially prepared by him for Chitong, and Shen He knew that he would be able to use it.
