''Chapter 86: Kidnapped''
''Where is this?'' Hearing Hoyard's "friendly" greeting, I also tried to ask. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
''Welcome to Ullumbes, the city of the Legion,'' Lord Lee. Hoyad made a welcome gesture as he spoke, and I have always been very unhappy with his usual behavior.
''How's my army?'' How is Fang Zi? What about Phoenix? ''I asked three questions in a row, questions I was concerned about. But I soon realized that it was impossible to get an accurate answer to ask them this question, and I stabilized my mind and found that Fang Zi had sent me a lot of messages when I passed out, and I quickly accepted it.
''Your army is still there, but with heavy casualties, and now retreat to the Tibetan city for defense. Miss Fang Zi is fine, but she and her city are already difficult to protect themselves, and the legion can take it at any time, but it is just to reduce casualties. Hoyad said these words with a smug and haughty expression, and with a coercive meaning, and he didn't blush at all!
Seeing that the little fat man in front of him was in deep thought, Hoyard thought that his words had worked, and said a few more words with that attitude:
''So you'd better cooperate with us, otherwise you'll ......''
''How else?'' I looked up and stared into his eyes and asked him, very imposing.
''Huh? ''Hoyard didn't seem to expect me to do this, and he didn't say anything for a while.
"I know my army, and I know the garrison of Phoenix, you can't destroy my troops, and you can't take Phoenix." I have already received news from Fang Zi at this time, I know about the retreat of the legion, and I also know that our strength is basically not consumed, and I have the confidence, even if I am a prisoner, they will not kill me like this if they waste so much effort to get me.
"You're smart." Hoyard said with some embarrassment. "But you're still our prisoner, and your troops can't get you out, I hope you understand." Hoyard was somewhat tactfully threatening.
"I understand." In the spirit of the principle of putting life first, I took a step back for the time being. "Whatever you want me to do, you can tell me what you know, but can you let go of my hand first, I can't even eat if it's locked like this." I tried to talk to him.
"We don't have to worry about that." Hoyard shook his head.
"What's not to worry about? I'm just an intermediate warrior, and you two senior fighters don't feel at ease here? It's too much to look down on. After saying this, I was sulking, if my own strength was stronger, then I would not be caught so easily. Even if he loses to Kuba, at least he can escape for his life, and he will not tie the hands and feet of the entire army like now.
"The biggest weakness of my troops is myself!" I kind of know that in this place where there are strong people with clear layers, the possibility of a lord like me being beheaded by a sneak attack is too great. If Kuba had wanted my life at the time...... I shuddered.
And for Hoyard, this request is also very exciting. After all, on the battlefield, this Dongfang kid directly raised the strength of a beginner combat master by more than a level in an instant, who can guarantee that he himself will not jump from a middle-level warrior to a high-level warrior overnight. This is probably unimaginable anywhere on the mainland, but he is an Oriental, and the powerful empire of the East may not have any special means. There are precedents here, and we have to guard against them.
"Okay, I can loosen your bonds, but please forgive me for taking some measures." Hoyard narrowed his eyes and walked over to help me open the iron cuff, and then brought me a bracelet, a magic bracelet that could monitor my movements and "bolt" me into the room like a chain. Below the level of high-level fighters can't break free at all, and it's hard to break free even if they do. It was used by the Subic Kingdom to capture some important criminals, and it was very expensive. As for how I know, it's because Hoyard told me in front of me.
"What the hell are you trying to do? Don't tell me you're just taking me here to be a mascot. I shook my numb arm and asked Hoyard.
"Mascot?" He frowned and repeated the word, not seeming to quite understand the meaning of the word.
"Mr. Li Xiaopan, maybe you want to show the humor of the Oriental, but I don't have the time to joke with you!" He approached me and said in a chilled voice.
"Holy water, and the way to quickly improve your strength, tell us, tell us all!" He pointed at my head and threatened.
"Don't you know it's rude for you to do that?" I looked at my hand, which was less than a dozen centimeters away from my head, with a dissatisfied expression, but my heart was very nervous, and he asked the last question I wanted to hear.
"I said, I don't have time to talk to you about this." His expression was still grim, but his fingers were retracted.
"As I said earlier, tell us about the production of holy water and the way to quickly improve our strength." Again, he said.
"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know it myself?" I gave him a blank look, and I was telling the truth, but he wouldn't believe it, in fact, no one would.
"It seems understandable that you're reluctant to help us. Indeed, no one would give up something so important. He walked around my bed, pulled out a sharp dagger, and stroked it with his hand.
"That's something that a force relies on, it's the foundation of development, and it makes others blush." He stroked the knife and slashed it before my eyes, and I could feel the tremor and the fear in my heart as the knife passed by.
"Mr. Li, let me remind you, this is our territory, you can only compromise, otherwise you will ......" He revealed the aura of a battle master on his body, and smiled at me:
"You're a smart man, you don't need me to remind you."
He turned around and walked to the door and opened it.
"Think about it, Mr. Lee. Soon the Legion Commander will talk to you, and he doesn't have a good temper. ”
"Boom!" The door slammed shut, and the senior warrior was still sitting staring at me, staring at me uncomfortably.
"Do you have anything to eat?" I tried to ease my mood.
"I'll bring it then." The senior warrior replied coldly.
"Don't try to run away, I'll keep an eye on you."
Looking at his momentum, I believe that what he said is true.
Sitting on the bed, looking at the shivering clothes on my body, thinking about my situation, I was really speechless.
"Kidnapping? House arrest? "No matter what it is, I know that I have become a prisoner of others, and I have become an "important resource" in their hands, and in the blink of an eye, I have changed from a lord who rules a place to a prisoner, I am really ...... Unspeakable!
It's probably no fun to escape, and there may be any other damage on the legion's side, so I'd better contact Fang Zi as soon as possible......
――――
After leaving the hut where he was being held, Hoyard immediately headed to a nearby building, which looked ordinary, just a little larger than the other houses in the neighborhood, and felt unremarkable. However, it was the residence of the corps commander Kuba.
Hoyard walked into the house, where Kuba was sitting in his chair, his legs crossed, and a thick book in his hand. This look doesn't quite match his muscular size, but he usually does. Hearing his movements, Kuba also put down the book.
"How?" Kuba asked.
"Didn't say anything, just as we guessed." Hoyard saluted and replied respectfully.
"Orientals, like us, do not even value life at the moment of profit. But when it comes to death, they will also desperately grasp the rope of survival. Constant pressure on him to force things out. When Kuba said this, he picked up the small half bottle of holy water next to him, and said with great feeling:
"Who would have thought that there was such a magical thing in this little bottle, more powerful than pure magic. Once we have mastered it, we can restore the Legion to its prime. ”
Kuba put down the bottle and commanded a few words: "He is in our hands, even if he doesn't say it, he can extort a large amount of holy water and resources, you should understand how to do it." ”
"Yes, Legionnaire." Hoyard saluted, and was about to turn to leave, when he saw a man dressed as a guard hurrying in.
"Legion Captain, His Highness Averia wants to meet that Oriental, and has already rushed over." The guard said.
"His Highness Alveria? Legionnaire, although it is understandable, but this is not a good thing, this is dangerous, it is better to invite the princess back. When Hoyard heard the guard's report, he immediately turned around and spoke.
Kuba thought for a moment, and finally picked up the book again, and said as he flipped through it:
"With the magic of our guards and princesses, that fat boy from the East can't hurt Evilia, it's better to let her go and see, otherwise she will go whenever she wants, but it won't be safe." Speaking of this, she raised her head and looked at Hoyard: "They are about the same age, if we really talk, maybe our little princess can get something useful out of that kid's mouth." ”
"Legionnaire Commander ......"
Hoyard wanted to say something, but Kuba had already put his energies back into the book and waved them away, and he had to bow and leave. As he reached the door, he heard the Legion Commander muttering about the contents of the book.
――――
"Open the door and let me in."
"Yes, Your Highness."
The door was opened again, but I heard a very special voice, it was a woman's voice, and it was very young. I had an idea and turned my head to confirm it. And when I saw that beautiful figure coming in through the door, I was speechless! I know, I guessed right.
