Chapter 24: The Best Defense

() It's been a long time, and Khunbucasius said to the visitor with his signature sunny smile

Cassius, Ray, Khunbu Ambston owes you another life today, and Khunbu said with great respect, not only me, but also the lives of my brothers

Don't be so restrained, Cassius walked over and patted Khumbu on the shoulder, in fact, we also have a lot of credit for finding this place thanks to you, and you can save Ischennova and Lyle

What Kunbu is a little confused

Let me explain, Joeyka interjected, "You refused to tell me who your employer was in the abandoned granary the night before, and I let you go, and you thought I was doing it just to appreciate your temperament and your work ethic as a mercenary."

Don't......

That's right, I did my tricks on you guys, leaving clues, because I knew that if the mission failed, you would definitely connect with the employer, and then we followed the clues all the way to this place

I'm really ashamed of myself, I can't give a thumbs up from the bottom of my heart, and praise Dao, Cassius, Ray, you are very good people, and your friends around you are also very good, which is amazing

Anyway, Quinbrai asks if you have indeed joined the 'Thundergull' mercenary group

Yes, Kunbu nodded, that day in the town of Venirus in the West Lotfei Kingdom, I took the gold coins you gave all the way south to the mercenary kingdom Weimumen, signed up for the challenge competition in the mercenary arena, and defeated a lot of famous mercenaries in a few months, so I was favored by several mercenary groups, including 'Thunder Gull', and then I thought that I was born in the navy and could give full play to my abilities at sea, so I joined the 'Thunder Gull' mercenary group, at this time, Kunbu looked at Joyka with some embarrassment, and captured Mr. Joyka alive, I joined' The first mission assigned by the Thunder Gull's mercenary group was also my best chance to prove my abilities......

Hehe...... Joyka laughed, but she didn't expect it to backfire

Khunbu nodded slightly: If I had known that Mr. Joyka was a friend of the Cassius brothers, I would never have taken on this mission even if I had been dismissed from the mercenary group

If I had known you were a friend of the dead fat man, I wouldn't have had to be so tired that night, knowing that it feels terrible to hide in a sack

By the way, Kunbu, your mission has failed, what are your plans in the future, Lei asked

Of course, it's back to the mercenary group, I can't just leave because the mission has failed, I have to explain to the head of the group, what to do, I am willing to accept these brothers, I personally brought these brothers out, I want to bring them back safely, Kunbu looked at the corpses of the two men who died tragically in the hands of Leonard, lying on the ground covered with white cloth, but it was a pity that the two brothers died tragically...... That bastard of Marcus must settle this account with him in the future

Ray corrected: The guy is not called 'Marcas', his real name is 'Leonard Green'

There's something Khunbu wants to ask you for, Cassius said, from our conversation just now, you should all know the true identities of Sophia and Leonard, and I hope that you and your men will keep this secret and not let anyone outside the scene know that Sophia is the princess of the former dynasty in exile

Before Kunbu could agree, Sophia had already preemptively said: There is no need, I have been hiding my identity for many years in order to get rid of the pursuit of the Central Church, but the Central Church has committed demonic and evil atrocities in the name of God...... I will not remain indifferent, let alone continue to run away, and the best defense is attacked

Okay, Joyka applauded, there should be this kind of momentum, which is the blood of the royal family

Mr. Kunbu, Sophia's eyes flashed with incomparably firm determination, not only do you not need to keep my identity a secret, but if you can, it is better to let the world know that I, Sophia Madan, will fight the Central Church to the end

The mythical city of St. Papal Island

In an unnoticed room sits an old bed, on which lies a mummy-like man wrapped in gauze

Cough...... Ahem...... The mummy on the bed coughed a few times and opened his eyes slightly

The only light source in the room was a kerosene lamp hanging from the ceiling, which was not bright enough, but it was still too harsh for a person who had not seen the light for a long time, and the mummy reflexively raised his left hand to try to block out the light that made his eyes ache, but as soon as he moved, a sharp pain came from his hand, and then he realized that his left hand was covered with a thick layer of plaster in addition to being wrapped in gauze

You wake up, and a man's face with a joyful smile appears in his sight

Water, water......

In less than half a minute, the water had been delivered to the spoon, and the slightly warm water was fed to his mouth little by little, and he greedily sucked on these sources of life, so that his throat could be more comfortable

Please slow down the middle-aged man who fed the water by the knight of Rousseau, and said that in your current state, it is not suitable to absorb too much water at once

Julien Rousseau tilted his head slightly, and he noticed that the man he was talking to was wearing a suit of Templar sergeant's armor, and the black-framed white cross on the breastplate was quite conspicuous

I...... Alive

You don't have to doubt it

I remember...... I was sentenced to death...... Ing...... Julian recalled

Yes, you'd have been dead long ago - if it weren't for what we did under the 'Iron Maiden' in advance

W-what...... You saved me

Actually, we just swapped out you with your last breath left, but if you didn't have an unusually strong physique and a strong will to survive, you wouldn't have survived that kind of injury, and the man in armor dragged a chair and sat down on the edge of the bed

You guys...... Be...... What people

We'll let you know when the right time comes

Why...... Save me

Because you are the only one alive among the guards of the Tower of Seven Sins

The Tower of Seven Sins heard the name Julian nervous, what the hell do you ......

We need you to do us a favor, the sergeant stood up, and saw in his eyes the vision of a better future, so many years we have been beaten passively in the cracks of depression and darkness, until we finally couldn't bear it anymore and were completely suffocated, and it is precisely because of this that 'the best defense is offense' that we have been swallowing our anger and waiting for an opportunity to counterattack

After a pause, the man in the sergeant's armor leaned over to Julian's ear and said, "Now this opportunity to fight back has finally arrived, and you, Julien Rousseau, are one of them.
