Chapter XVII: Female Prisoners

readx;? In the northeast corner of the Avenger camp, a river meanders in, bringing the clean, sweet waters of the Elven Forest into this politically shady human habitat. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

After entering the camp, the river was artificially divided into three tributaries: the middle was the main road of the original river, which traversed the entire Funzon camp and became the main source of water for the tens of thousands of people in the camp to drink and live, and then left the camp to the southeast and entered the fertile agricultural area of the Pole Kingdom; the southern tributary was directed to the gate of the camp and merged into a circular moat, in which a school of piranhas was raised to protect the gate from the enemy; A depression that has been dug out by humans to form an artificial lake.

The purpose of this artificial lake is twofold: one is to make up for the reserve of water when the main road is insufficient, and on the other hand, in the center of the artificial lake is an artificial island made of mud and rock, and on the island there is an exceptionally sturdy building made of granite stones, which is the prison in the Restorationist camp.

The prison guards were originally a small detachment of less than 10 people, but now it has grown to half a team, or about 50 people. Although the number of prisoners is small, it is extremely difficult for the prisoners in it to escape, because the only means of transportation between the artificial lake and the other shore is a small boat with a capacity of only three or four people to transport people or supplies, and it only makes one round trip per day. If there is no one on the other side to hold the boat over, it is impossible for either prisoner or jailer in the prison to leave the artificial island; if someone thinks that they can escape by swimming because the lake has the same piranha as in the moat, once someone accidentally fell into the water, and when they were fished up a few minutes later, only a bloody white bone remained.

In addition, in recent months, the shore of the artificial island has been reinforced with magic stones, and if anyone tries to save people with magic, they can get in but can't get out. But this was not enough, a small group of soldiers was also sent to the other side of the bank to garrison, and four Liaowangta were added in the south, east, and northwest respectively to monitor the artificial islands and the situation day and night.

Around 2 p.m., the sun reached its most vicious hour. General Lynx, the de facto ruler of the Revenge camp, and one of his henchmen, stood in a small boat, supported by a soldier, and slowly sailed towards the prison on the island in the middle of the lake. After reaching the island, the "Lynx" and his henchmen disembarked, and then the soldiers on board drove the boat back to the other side.

"Lynx" ordered the jailer standing guard at the gate of the prison: "Bring the prisoner up, and I will interrogate him personally." ā€

"Which prisoner is it?" asked the jailer.

"Who else do you say?" said the jailer, which made the "Lynx" a little unhappy.

"The main culprit. That's the woman. The henchman who followed the "Lynx" alertly walked up to the jailer and whispered to the other party.

"Oh...... Please wait!" The jailer reluctantly retreated into the prison.

"Stupid donkey!"

Behind the jailer, the extremely impatient curse of the "Lynx" was heard. The jailer probably couldn't sleep all night tonight, and he couldn't figure out what he was wrong about, and why he had been scolded by the general? The general had not paid any attention to the female prisoner for several months, and even if he had personally interrogated him several times recently, he had interrogated a few accomplices, so it was not surprising that the jailer had just asked this question; however, the "Lynx" was in a very bad mood today, and did not pay attention to these details, and the jailer acted as a punching bag in a daze.

Ten minutes later, the sound of the iron chain colliding came from the cold prison, and at the gate of the black hole, the silhouette of the three people gradually appeared. Behind them were two tall jailers, armed with long weapons in their hands, escorting a skinny prisoner with his hands and legs chained, staggering out of the darkness.

The original gray prison clothes were stained with dirty, damp moss, the bulging chest indicated that the prisoner was a woman, the long, fluffy, messy hair covered her face, the heavy shackles on her hands and feet were densely inlaid with fragments of the magic stone, and the exposed skin of her hands was tinged with the yellowish color of obvious long-term malnutrition.

After probably being imprisoned in a dark cell for a long time, as soon as she came into contact with the poisonous sun, the female prisoner could not adapt for a while, screamed, covered her eyes with her hands, I don't know if it was because the sun was too dazzling, or if the temperature difference changed too much in an instant, the female prisoner felt dizzy, fainted on the ground, and lost consciousness - until a plate of cold water was poured on her head.

Brushing her wet hair, the female prisoner sat sideways on the ground, she didn't bother to look at the people around her, she just protected her eyes with her hands, and little by little she adapted to the long-lost sunshine.

"It's been a long time, don't come unharmed, Captain. The "bobcat", as the interrogator, looked down on the female prisoner sitting on the ground.

"Tsk!" Although it has been a few months, the female prisoners still despise the "Lynx" as always.

Although the female prisoner's reaction was completely expected by the "Lynx", when he was in such a bad mood, the other party's indifferent attitude still made the "Lynx" very unhappy. He circled around the female prisoner and sneered at each other: "Others greet you, but you ignore it, this is not the cultivation that Miss Dostisk should have." ā€

"Hmph. How do you want me to respond to you? Should I call you General 'Lynx', the four pillars of our Restoration, or should I call you 'my most respected uncle'-Uncle Nemo?" The female prisoner sitting on the ground had no fear of her interrogators, but mocked them mercilessly.

Hearing the word "uncle", the face of the "bobcat" instantly sank, and the few wisps of smile that were still stiff on his face disappeared, leaving only embarrassment and hatred. For the title of "uncle", the female prisoner is to tell "Lynx" that his real name is "Nemo", he is the son-in-law of the old marshal Olkid Duszk, and he married the youngest daughter of the old marshal; although Nemo can become one of the four generals is not entirely because of his relationship with the old marshal's son-in-law, but more importantly, his own ability, but Nemo himself is very concerned about this, so that he has always been very taboo to have someone mention his original name in front of him.

In addition, this status brought him the convenience of promotion, but also gave him a great shackle in his life. His wife, the daughter of the old marshal, had been frail and sickly since childhood, and after the marriage contract with Nemo, the two had not yet begun to live together, when a sudden illness took her away. As a widower who lost his wife at a young age, in order to maintain the relationship with the Duszk family, Nemo did not remarry, nor did he have any intimate contact with other women, and as a son-in-law and subordinate, he has been following the old marshal for more than 20 years.

Outsiders only saw Nemo's infinite loyalty on the outside, but no one noticed the resentment that had accumulated in his heart for many years, so that when Nemo, the general of the "Lynx", suddenly launched a mutiny after the death of the old marshal, no one expected it, including his opponent, Alice Duszker, the captain of the Guards who had just returned to the Revenge camp and the granddaughter of the old marshal.

Although she lost the opportunity, with the powerful power of the "True Martial Armor" and the allegiance of her subordinates, Alice led her guards to resist one by one, retreated into the fortress of the cave, and used the fortifications and reserves inside to fight against the rebels of the "Lynx", and this confrontation lasted for a month.

However, one day, Nemo found a strange blonde girl out of nowhere, saying that she was the long-missing Princess Sophia, and that the "princess" spoke impassionedly and tearfully in front of the people in the camp, vowing to lead her people to drive out the invaders who had occupied her country and restore the old rivers and mountains. These powerful speeches touched many people who had a wait-and-see attitude towards the civil war, and in the end, the people's hearts turned to Nemo's side.

As for Alice, who is lonely and weak, she can't come up with empirical evidence to prove the authenticity of the so-called "Princess Sophia", and she is increasingly at a disadvantage in the storm of public opinion, and what's more, even the loyal subordinates around her have begun to waver. Unbeknownst to Alice, several renegade guards quietly opened the gates of the cave fortress, and the army of the "Lynx" drove straight in, and a fierce battle ensued inside the fortress.

Eventually, Alice and a dozen of her surviving subordinates who were guarding her were besieged. Seeing that there was no chance of victory, Alice surrendered to Nemo on the condition of preserving the lives of her men, and relied on the other party to put chains inlaid with magic stones on her.

The girl who was reduced from a young lady to a prisoner of the stairs, in the cold and dark prison, wore away her original willfulness and playfulness, but gained tenacity and tenacity. In the early days of his captivity, Nemo went to the prison many times, either threatening to lure him or making bitter remarks, asking Alice to cooperate with him in the so-called "great cause of recovery". But Alice's heart is as strong as a rock and she will not give in. She knew that the real Sophia did not agree to the restoration of the country, and Nemo knew this, so in Nemo's so-called "restoration of the country", Sophia must be an obstacle to him. Alice's gritted teeth are not only to enforce her beliefs and loyalty, but also to protect Sophia, who is adventurous and unaware in the outside world.

After numerous failures, Nemo gave up on the idea of working directly on Alice, and focused his efforts on Alice's subordinates, who were imprisoned together, in an attempt to make progress from the side. But it is clear that these efforts have failed, otherwise it would not have been possible to suddenly come to her for interrogation months later.

It seemed that it took a lot of effort to calm down the anger. "Lynx" Nemo said to the female prisoner on the ground in as calm a tone as possible "Miss Alice, I am here today not to ask you anything, but to tell you something. ā€

"Huh, do you want to tell me that you dreamed of your wife and father-in-law when you went to bed, or were you so afraid to see them that you didn't dare to sleep?"

"You...... I have to warn you, Miss Alice, don't provoke me again!"

As the saying goes, "which pot is not opened", Alice is deliberately smacking Nemo's heart to the sore spot.

At this time, her eyes were already able to adapt to the surrounding lighting conditions, and Alice saw Nemo's thunderous appearance, and smiled heartily: "What if Miss Ben wants to provoke you? Are you going to kill me? Okay, you can kill me." ā€

Looking at the female prisoner's eyes full of ridicule and provocation, Nemo was at a loss even if he was furious. It's not that he doesn't want to kill Alice, it's that he can't. The first reason is that the old marshal has an irreplaceable high prestige among the regents, and he rashly kills his own granddaughter, no matter how loud the "righteousness" of the "Bobcat" general is, it will inevitably be opposed by the vast majority of people, and the good situation that has been established with great difficulty will be lost; the second reason is the "True Martial Saint Armor" that was sealed in Alice's body, although Nemo put on a torture instrument inlaid with a magic stone to prevent her from taking the initiative to take the "True Martial Sacred Armor" Summoned out, but if it senses that the host's life safety is threatened, the "True Martial Saint Armor" will break through the restrictions of the Sealed Demon Stone and autonomously manifest and protect the host, and then Alice will be able to obtain the ability to escape from prison. Because of this, even though Nemo had imprisoned Alice for so long, he could not touch her in the slightest, neither a public execution nor a secret assassination would work.

That's why Alice, as a prisoner, is so fearless about Nemo.

Seeing Nemo's dilemma, Alice snorted coldly, stood up, walked towards the gate of the black hole with a still staggering but firm step, and said to Nemo without looking back: "Since you can't do it, don't just put down your hateful words in the future." Well, since there is nothing else to do, then Miss Ben is going back to sleep. Slow down and don't send. ā€

"It's true that I can't kill you, but that doesn't mean I can't kill anyone else. ā€

ā€œ......ā€

Nemo's words made Alice stop.

"You'd better go back and look at it, Miss Alice. A couple of sinners we just caught. ā€
