Chapter 15: The Bitter Meat Scheme
readx;? I don't know how long the torture continued, until a few rooster crows were heard in the distant village, indicating that dawn was close at this time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this time, the prisoner, who was tied to the water wheel and subjected to all kinds of abuse, finally could not bear it anymore and wailed in a weak voice: "Stop......"
On the orders of the "Lynx", the soldier in charge of operating the water wheel suspended the torture, and he transferred Joyka to a normal position suitable for interrogation.
"Lynx" with a victor's smile walked to the front of the water wheel.
"This is your limit? Although you do surprise me very much, you can hold on for so long, but these are all self-inflicted, and if you explain it clearly, you won't suffer so much unnecessary flesh and skin. ”
"Hee-hee-......" was unexpected, and Joika, who was tortured to not look like a humanoid, still showed a cynical smile, "Did you hear me? The rooster crows, and the sun is about to come out." ”
"Lynx's" smile froze, he had a feeling of being teased, his eyes like a wolf, and he glared at Joyka fiercely: "Don't play tricks on me, don't you understand your situation?"
"My own situation is insignificant, on the contrary, and more importantly, General Bobcat, do you understand your situation?"
"You don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin. It seems that without gouging out one of your eyes, you will not obediently confess where your accomplices are. As he spoke, Lynx pulled out a dagger, and the cold edge pressed towards Joika's right eye.
The knife moved very slowly, and he wanted Joika to feel the maximum fear before suffering the sharp pain of the gouging eye.
At this moment, there was a sudden emergency knocking sound of "Ding Ding Ding Ding" in the village.
"Lynx" understood what the emergency bell meant: "What's going on?
"General, I'll go see what's going on. A subordinate pleaded.
"Hurry up, go back, go back. In addition, pass on my order, all soldiers should be on heightened vigilance, just like the prison side, and the alert level should be raised to the highest, and anyone who dares to approach will be killed regardless of the reason. ”
"Yes. ”
The subordinates took the order and left, but the "lynx" suddenly had a cold feeling on his back, and his palms were oozing sweat. He knew very well why he was suddenly nervous, so much so that this forced calm gesture was especially clear in Joyka's eyes.
"General Bobcat, didn't you hear me? Joyka repeated the seemingly unrelated question.
"Chickens, do you mean ......" After pondering these words, "Lynx" suddenly seemed to remember something, he looked up at the sky for a moment, his body stiffened slightly, then he turned around and yelled at Joika: "Bastard! Those were not chickens at all, they were signals from your accomplices! You asked your accomplices to go to the village and set fires?"
"Haha, you've finally found out. For those of us who have been out and about for many years, the most accurate way to determine the time of night without the help of tools is to look at the position of the stars in the sky. You just thought you had the upper hand, but you ignored this most crucial common sense. If you immediately look up at the sky when you hear the rooster crow, you will definitely find that there are at least 2 hours before the normal rooster crow, and you will naturally find a flaw. It's just a pity that your self-righteousness has cost you the opportunity. Joika's pause sounded to others as if the torturer and the interrogator had been reversed.
"You ......" Under the anger, the eyes of the "Lynx" were round, but after a while, he showed a treacherous sneer, "It turns out that it is this kind of inferior bitter trick." However, your trick is useless, and the Revenge camp is impregnable, and even if a few little rats are mixed in, it will only kill itself. If you come a few, I'll catch a few. ”
"Sounds like General Bobcat is confident in his defenses. However, you have only strengthened the prison defenses and neglected other important parts. My companions have already succeeded, and they will only send the signal. It seems that your beautiful 'Princess Sophia' will have breakfast with me tomorrow morning. By the way, would I like to leave you a piece of bread?"
Hearing this, the "Lynx" did not get angry, but laughed out loud: "Hahaha! I thought this stupid bitter trick was just a shoddy conspiracy. Do you think that kidnapping the princess will threaten me? ”
"I heard me right, General Lynx thinks that Her Royal Highness is not as important as the prisoner in the prison. You're pretending to be calm, I can hear you, but you're actually very flustered. ”
"Hmph. You're really self-righteous. I might as well tell you. Even if you kidnap a 'Princess Sophia', it will not affect me, as long as I need to make as many 'Princess Sophia' as I want. You're kidnapping just a useless impostor. ”
"Are you so confident that you think that impostors have no effect?General Bobcat, you should know that the real Sophia is with us, and you have done everything you can to me to ask where my so-called 'accomplices' are, in fact, you want to know the whereabouts of the real Sophia. But you don't have to keep asking, because tomorrow, when the real thing and the fake appear in front of everyone and confront them on the spot, your lies will be self-defeating. What are you going to be facing? General Lynx, have you thought about it?"
"Hey. I thought you left a good backhand, but it turned out to be just a stinky move. You'd better pray that the real princess doesn't show up tomorrow. But it doesn't matter if she doesn't show up, as long as you're still in my hands, it's a matter of time before I catch her. ”
"Catch Sophia, what do you want to do, what are you going to do with her?"
"The last time you escaped from the camp, I finally got it. Even if the blonde girl is the real Princess Sophia, her heart has been corrupted, and she has given up the great ideal of recovering her homeland. If Sophia is willing to turn back and return to her people, she will still enjoy the treatment of being a princess, but if she continues to be stubborn, then I will have to let her disappear from the world. ”
"Sophia is the sole bloodline of the former dynasty and the spiritual leader of you revenators. I don't believe you really dare to kill her. ”
"Why don't you dare? All the people of the Avengers need is a spiritual leader, and what does it matter if that spiritual leader is true or not? There is no room for any interference or obstruction in our great cause of recovering the country, not even Sophia herself!"
"No!" Joika was really nervous. With an unbelievable look, he swept over the dozens of soldiers standing behind the "Lynx".
I saw that these soldiers stood tall one by one, and they were not at all surprised by the astonishing remarks just made by the "Lynx", which shows that these people are all henchmen of the "Lynx", and they have long known that the conspiracy of "confusing the truth with the false" will not be able to convey their own words. Thinking about it this way, why did the "Lynx" not choose to be in prison or other places, but came to this deserted river to torture and interrogate Joika, just to avoid revealing the secret of the real Princess Sophia through Joica's mouth.
The bitter meat scheme seems to have completely collapsed. Joyka hung her head in a slump, a desperate gaze taking over his eyes.
"Lynx" looked up at Joyka with mocking eyes, and he liked the feeling of a winner. For this guy who dares to oppose him, the "Lynx" must not only torture him to the fullest, but also completely destroy it mentally, in order to call it a real victory. In his opinion, Joyka was completely out of tricks, and all that remained was to wait for the final bit of the sinner's will to completely disintegrate.
"Sophia...... She...... Request...... with ......"
From Joeyka's mouth, he spat out a few intermittent, ominous whispers. In the eyes of the "bobcat", it was the meaningless self-talk of the desperate, but these voices were as thin as gnats, and it was difficult to hear what was being said, which made the "bobcat" a little unhappy.
"What are you talking about, be louder!" Kick Joyka in the chest, and the "Lynx" shouted loudly.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem...... You...... Cannot...... Return...... Fire ......"
Probably kicked in the lung, Joyka coughed a few times before continuing to say the inaudible words, this time quieter.
This made "Lynx" even more ferocious, and he lifted Joyka's collar and asked grimly, "You'd better say what you're going to say out loud and clear, for it's your last words on earth." ”
Joika tilted her head weakly, let out a long sigh, and ......
"I mean, thank you for that kick. Joyka suddenly said such a sentence in an extremely clear and sonorous voice, which made "Lynx" feel a little cool.
It wasn't just because of a puzzling sentence, because "Lynx" clearly saw from a very close distance that Joyka's originally desperate and decadent eyes disappeared in an instant, replaced by a sneer and ridicule after the conspiracy succeeded.
Subconsciously sensing danger coming, "Lynx" quickly stepped back, but it was too late, and as "Lynx" retreated, Joicka's upper body leaned forward at a faster pace. I saw Joyka's lips grinning, and between the two rows of teeth that were tightly closed, there was a frightening cold light.
"Sneer......"
Joyka bit down on the sharp blade that had been hiding in her mouth with her teeth and swept over the left side of "Lynx's" neck. A stream of bloody arrows erupted from the severed major artery in her neck, staining Joyka half bloody.
The surprised "Lynx" took two steps back before realizing that he was going to hold his hand against the severed artery in his neck.
Dozens of soldiers rushed up from behind, holding the body of the "lynx", some immediately pressed his major artery with their hands, and some tore pieces of cloth from their clothes for emergency bandaging.
"Kill...... Kill him!"
Before losing consciousness, "Lynx" raised his hand and pointed it at Joyka with the last of his strength, giving orders to his soldiers.
One of the nearest soldiers immediately cocked his spear and stabbed it into Joika's heart.
With her life hanging by a thread, Joyka threw her head to the left and spat out the blade in her mouth. Fueled by both thrust and centrifugal force, the blade slices precisely through the rope that holds Jojka's left hand to the wheel at breakneck speed.
Regain your free left hand and grasp it firmly before the tip of the spear is about to pierce the heart.
Despite the fact that the palm of Joika's left hand was cut with blood from the sharp spearhead, the owner of the spear found that he had lost control of the spear. Joika leaned to the right and dragged her spear in her direction, dragging the soldier forward with a single hand, and pounced on her. Joika seized the moment and slammed her forehead forward.
Only a "snap" was heard, and the soldier's nose bone was smashed, blood splattered everywhere, he took two steps back, and fell to the ground with a "pop".
Seeing this, the other four soldiers immediately raised their weapons and rushed forward.
Never sitting still, Joyka flipped his spear, grabbed the handle with his left hand, and used the tip of the spear to cut the rope on his right hand. By this time, two soldiers had already rushed in front of him.
Freed from the shackles with both hands, Joyka nimbly manipulated the spear, unblocked the enemy's weapons one by one, and took advantage of the gap between the two soldiers to make a new move, using the spear to break the rope that bound her left foot, and then turned to the right, just in time to avoid the spear of the third soldier attacking from the left. Joyka then forked the spear down to his right foot, and the last rope that bound him to freedom was finally severed, but at the same time his left shoulder was pierced with a spear by a fourth soldier attacking from the right.
Joyka, however, let out a cheerful laugh because he had fully regained his freedom. Although he was stabbed in the shoulder, it was because Joyka knew that she would not be able to dodge the attack, so she deliberately took it with a thick part of her body that had no vital organs, so it did not hurt the vital point. Joyka decisively pulled the spearhead out of her body, climbed and jumped, jumped onto the big wheel next to her, and condescendingly brandished her spear to confront the four soldiers besieging him.
The soldiers never dreamed that a man who had endured hours of torture and had been impaled through his body with a spear could still exert such a powerful fighting force, and they had no advantage at all with four against one, one of them was stabbed to death by Joyka's spear, and the other three were all painted to varying degrees.
Seeing that his companions were defeated, dozens of other soldiers, except for a few who were rescuing the "Lynx", all rushed towards Joyka, and seeing this situation, they had to skin Joyka alive.
At this critical juncture, several waterspouts suddenly rose from the river behind Joika, condensing into sharp ice needles in the sky, and splashing down on the charging soldiers.
Seeing this, the soldiers scrambled to dodge, but the two soldiers who rushed to the front could not dodge and were shot into a sieve by ice needles.
After the needle rain that lasted for tens of seconds, the soldiers quickly regrouped and prepared to attack again, but at this time they were surprised to find that heavy pressure was coming from above their heads.
Under the cover of night, a huge floating ship silently dived into the sky above the small river in the woods, and the pitch black, huge hull, and the magic fluctuations of various colors flashed around the hull, which made people shudder.
A rope was thrown from the porthole of the airship, and the end hung down to Joyka's reach. Joika grabbed the rope and was pulled up by the men inside the floater.
"Withdraw!"
The remaining soldiers, still alive, were not stupid enough to confront the powerful airship without any long-range weapons, and they alternated cover, reining in the corpses of their companions, protecting the badly wounded, blood-drained and comatose "Lynx", which quickly disappeared into the dark shadows of the woods.
Soon, the flying machines in the sky and the crowd on the ground disappeared without a trace. The only ones who remained in place were the smashed waterboarders.
