readx;?“ You are going to kill someone? Hmph, I believe you have not forgotten how you swore with the dignity of a knight in front of those nobles that you would never hurt my people. Pen~Fun~Ge www.biquge.info Do you want to admit that you are a dishonest hypocrite in front of everyone?" Ellie sneered nonchalantly.

It was not unheard of before to threaten the lives of her subordinates, but Alice could tell at a glance that it was nothing more than blackmail by the poor skills of the donkey. Although Nemo "Lynx" is now calling for trouble in the Revenge camp, his power is based on the trust of the old nobles who fled to the camp, and if Nemo slaps himself, it will definitely shake the trust of the nobles. Alice saw through Nemo's confidence and knew that although he said harshly, he would not resort to action at all, and as long as he ignored it, Nemo would not be able to do anything.

However, this time Alice guessed wrong.

"Do you think I'm going to execute your old ministry? Nemo's weird voice came from behind, "Miss Alice, you'd better look back." ”

From that confident voice, Nemo was prepared this time. Driven by curiosity, Alice turned slowly, wanting to see what else he was going to do.

By this time, Nemo had no longer stood in his original position, and had stepped aside, and the one who had occupied the center of Alice's line of sight had been replaced by the henchman who had come with him.

After the object of attention changed, Alice noticed that the henchman was carrying a long black cloth bag from the beginning. With Nemo's permission, the henchman untied the sack, grabbed the bottom of the bag with one hand, and lifted it upside down. Only a few crisp sounds of metal clashing could be heard, and two metal objects slid from the sack to the ground, glistening in the sunlight.

Alice used her hand to resist the damage of the light to her eyes, and after her eyes gradually adjusted, she finally saw what these two things were, and suddenly her face changed dramatically!

"It's ...... Tell me, how did you get it?!" Alice asked Nemo sharply.

Of course she recognized what those two things were. They belong to a companion who was born and died with Alice, and they have always been inseparable from their master, the bounty hunter who always has a wicked smile - Joyka carries two weapons with her: the Mithril longbow and the Mithril longsword.

"Go in and keep the prisoners inside, and do not come out without my command. Nemo instructed the two jailers standing beside Alice.

The two jailers obeyed. Although they were ordered to watch over Alice and her men, they were not Nemo's most relied on henchmen, and the two jailers were not qualified to know about what was going on.

After hearing the footsteps of the two jailers disappear completely, Nemo smiled slyly, "Miss Alice, I know what you are up to. The Lion Mercenary Regiment returns to the camp once every four years for rest and replenishment, and the next time the Lion Mercenary Regiment returns should be in the autumn of this year. Although you are in prison, you yourself do not admit defeat, because you think that as long as you survive until the return of the Lion Mercenary Group, you will have a chance to turn over, am I right? ”

Alice didn't reply. She knew very well that the Lion Mercenary Regiment, which had been fighting outside for many years and was not under the jurisdiction of the camp, was the only thing Nemo feared now. Although Nemo is in control of the situation now, it is because he has completely blocked the news, and the series of events that happened in the Avenger camp have not been reported to the Lion Mercenary Group, once the two generals "Silver Snake" and "Mustang" lead the Lion Mercenary Group to return, under the confrontation between the two sides, it will be difficult for the "Lynx" lies to maintain, and now the fog shrouded in the Avenger camp will naturally disappear one day.

Of course, Nemo, who is an insider, is also very clear about this situation, and he has been worrying about how he should deal with it at that time. The Lion Mercenary Regiment is home to some of the best of the Revengers, all of whom have been battle-hardened, and the Lynx's men are superior in numbers, but they can't get much good fruit to eat, but since he still has a few months to prepare, he still has a chance to deal with the expected downside.

So, for both Alice and Nemo, time is the difference between them, but that's just in the absence of other variables.

Seeing Alice's blue face, Nemo smirked, "I know that delaying time is your only means now. But I'm sorry to tell you that since last night, time, which was originally your 'ally', has been on my side. ”

"You haven't told me how you got these things?" Alice asked in a deep voice, glancing at the sword and bow on the ground.

"That's a good question. You won't forget that last year, around this time, a few ill-intentioned thieves deceived General Mustang and infiltrated the Revenge camp to do something shady. But the matter was revealed, and they absconded overnight one night, but the old marshal was large enough to let them go. It's a pity that you, as the granddaughter of the old marshal, were actually bewitched by these thieves, abandoned the duties of the captain of the guard, ran away with these thieves, and then ......"

"Enough! I don't want to listen to your nonsense anymore! Say what you have to say!"

Seeing Alice's annoyed look, Nemo smiled even more proudly. He deliberately didn't get straight to the point, but was going around in a big circle, just to make Alice mess up because of her hurry, and now it seems that his goal is half successful.

"This may be the 'thief's heart does not change'. The old marshal kindly let them live, but he didn't expect that this group of little thieves sneaked into the camp again last night to do evil and was caught red-handed. Nemo finally got back to business.

"What, you caught Joika? No way!" Alice noticed the thick gauze wrapped around Nemo's neck, "I see. Joika's infiltration into the camp is supposed to be true, but the reality is that he almost made your head move. I don't understand how he left these two weapons behind, but you're the one who suffers the big loss, General Bobcat?"

"You're right, that thief named 'Joika' does have some skills, and I almost cut him off," Nemo subconsciously reached out and touched his neck, "However, he is too blind to no one, this thief underestimates me too much, and underestimates the determination of the Revengers to defend their homeland." I'll tell you the details, but now I can only say that his arrest was completely self-inflicted. ”

"Hmph! Alice sneered disdainfully, "What Joika's strength is, I know a hundred times better than you." The harshest battles against the Dark Elves in the underworld failed to bring him to his knees. Not only him, but also Princess Sophia, the other companions who entered the underworld together survived tenaciously. With your strength, it's impossible to catch any of us!"

"Hahahaha...... I knew you wouldn't believe it if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes. Well, let you completely cut off this illusion that shouldn't exist. With that, Nemo winked at his henchman standing beside him.

The henchman comprehended, took out two small flags, one red and one white, turned around, and waved them towards the opposite shore of the artificial lake with various movements.

The so-called "flag language" is a form of communication that originated in the navy, and when the ships are too far away or hindered by some factors to communicate with each other through traditional sounds, the flag language can play the greatest role. Later, this method of communication was also widely accepted by the army. Of course, because the flag can be seen by both warring parties, for the sake of secrecy, every country, and even every legion, has a set of flags that are completely ** and will never be leaked.

At this time, the henchmen used the flag language specially designed by the old marshal for the regents, and Alice could certainly understand it. "Bring the prisoner here. That's what Alice meant from reading the flag.

Sure enough, Alice saw the soldiers on the other side getting busy. After a bit of running, the soldiers carried a tall, thin man to the shore. I saw that this man was tied up with flowers, his mouth seemed to be stuffed with something, and he could only make a "hmm" sound, and he looked obviously seriously injured, walking with a limp, and his clothes were in tatters. He resisted fiercely, but to no avail.

Is it Joika? No.

Due to the distance and the fact that her eyes were not fully recovered, Alice could not see the male prisoner's face clearly, although he did look a lot like Joyka in terms of his figure and hair color, but Alice could not accept emotionally that it was Joyka herself.

"See, that self-like bounty hunter's thief is right in front of you. Nemo Road.

"Not true. That person wasn't Joyka. Alice shook her head.

"Whatever. To Alice's surprise, this time Nemo didn't insist, and he glanced at his henchman again.

Immediately after that, the henchman held the flag and danced again.

After seeing the flag, the soldiers on the other side suddenly crossed forward and carried out the order given to them in the flag: "Push down!"

Only a "porphyr" sound was heard, and the prisoner fell into the lake. I saw that the surface of the lake, which had been calm and waveless, suddenly rippled, and the piranhas in the lake smelled the bloody smell from the wounds on the prisoner's body, and surged from all directions. Alice only saw that where the prisoner had fallen into the water, the lake was tumbling violently like a boil, and from time to time a piranha jumped out of the water. The prisoner, who was besieged by a school of piranhas, struggled incessantly, but with his hands and feet tied, all his efforts were in vain, and his flesh and blood flew in the midst of the screams.

Within a few minutes, the struggles and screams had stopped, and the prisoner's mutilated body sank to the bottom of the lake. The surface of the lake returned to its original calm, as if nothing had happened, leaving only a large patch of blood red on the surface of the water.

Alice was shocked to see this scene, she had seen people being eaten by piranhas for so many years in the Avenger camp, but it was the first time she had seen the vicious behavior of deliberately pushing people into the middle of piranhas.

Emotionally furious, Alice shouted, "You devil!" and desperately rushed towards Nemo, but Alice couldn't run at all due to her feet being caught, and fell to the ground after only two steps.

"Now that you've seen that thief, the value of his existence has been realized. Do you think I'm going to let him live for someone who almost killed me?" Nemo crouched down and said to Alice in a chillingly cold voice.

"You're going to hell!" Alice glared at Nemo, her eyes almost breathing fire.

"Who knows if I'm going to hell in the future, but I'm going to tell you that there will be someone who will go to hell with that thief named 'Joica'. ”

Alice was shocked, not knowing why.

At this moment, she saw the henchman waving two flags again.

"Hear me clearly. We didn't just catch the thief last night. Nemo continued to press Alice.

As soon as the words ended, the soldiers on the other side of the river walked out with another prisoner in their arms.

What made Alice tremble was that the prisoner was actually a well-built blonde woman, dressed in the familiar white priest's robes. Like "Joyka", who was pushed into the water before, her hands were tied behind her back, her mouth was blocked, and she staggered to the lake.

"Sue, Sophie...... No! absolutely not!" Alice shook her head.

"You can surely recognize that when that girl was swaggering here last year, she dared to pretend to be Princess Sophia in front of the old marshal, and her crime is unforgivable, and she should have been sentenced to death. ”

"Nemo, in front of me, don't play this trick of reversing black and white and pointing to a deer as a horse! You know who is the real princess and who is an impostor!"

"Alice, I'm not here to discuss the truth with you. I just want to tell you that the life and death of that girl are now in your hands. Whether you want her to live or die is all up to you. ”

"You're trying to coerce me, hmph! I see through your despicable tricks. Since you can make an imposter, you can make a whole bunch of them. Her Royal Highness the princess on the other side is a fake, and Joyka, who was just pushed down by you, is also a fake. Whether it's Her Royal Highness the Princess or Joyka, you haven't been caught by you, you don't want to lie to me!"

"Okay. Miss Alice, since you don't care if she lives or dies, then I don't need to waste my time here. Give the other side the order and throw the girl down. The last sentence was for the henchmen next to him.

The obedient henchman immediately raised the small flag in his hand......

"Stop!" Alice yelled, almost in a throat-splitting voice.

And the henchman also put down the little flag under the command of the master's eyes.

"Say it, your conditions. Alice uttered these words slowly and unwillingly in a very reluctant tone.

Nemo smiled victoriously, an arrogant opponent who had now chosen to compromise. In this protracted contest, he finally won.
