Major subconsciously clenched his fists, trying to hide the space ring on his finger as much as possible, but he also knew that it was futile, since the other party was able to seize his slight carelessness and force him to this part, how could he allow him any respite, he could already think of resisting when the other party forcibly seized the ring.

But the reality is often unexpected, and Ishbal watched his nervous performance and gave up on continuing to press!

"Don't worry, I won't let people search your body anymore! Presumably there are also prohibitions on your space props, I'm not an alchemist, even if I take the estimate, I can't solve it, and I can't force you to go too far......

I'm going to escort you back to the city tomorrow, you're wounded, so it's better to have a good rest tonight!"

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave.

"So you believe what I say!" asked Major.

Ishbal walked to the door and said sideways: "In my opinion, this is true, but don't think that you are very optimistic about what you are going to face next, even if you don't kill anyone, you are still a spy of another country, this position will not change, it is also true that the people in the town died because of you, and if you are not acting as a chief, I personally have no objection to what Val just wanted to do to you."

Once you return to the city, there will be many people who have no principles and no bottom line will try to dig out the secret from your mouth, and there will also be alchemists who are good at deciphering secrets, do you still have the confidence to keep the secret?

So what to do next, I advise you to think about it!"

With that, he disappeared behind the closed door, and Major was lost in thought, and he could certainly see that Ishbal's last move was not really kind to him, but on the contrary, as a master interrogator, the opponent used a superb tactic to attack the heart.

First through a series of reasoning to show himself the ability, to create him in front of the other party any secret can not hide the psychological pressure, and then want to indulge in the relaxation of his oppression, and at the same time for him to depict a very difficult and inevitable future, when a person is constantly planning for the future pain will be in contrast to the relaxed environment in which he is now, human nature has the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and for him now, choosing a reasonable person to surrender is undoubtedly the best result.

The more lenient the environment and treatment he is given now, the more it will disintegrate his will to persist in facing pain, and even if he understands the methods used by the other party, there is no good way to crack it.

At least his current captivity could not be changed, alone in a foreign land, with injuries on his body, even if he wanted to be blindly optimistic, he could not find a reason.

Exhaustion eroded his will, and Major fell asleep in his thoughts, and in his dreams he seemed to see Toru's smiling face and familiar voice again, but suddenly the child turned into an icy flood and rushed over his body.

A cold war wakes up, only to find that it was Val who had splashed him with a bucket of cold water.

"Get up, lazy bones, you're on your way, are you still waiting for someone to carry you away!"

Seeing that Major got up silently, Val pushed and rubbed a few more times, but there was nothing more excessive than that, and it seemed that Ishbal's restraint still worked.

Outside, the sunlight made the eyes that had just come out of the darkness a little uncomfortable, and after instinctively squinting his eyes and getting used to it, Major saw that the streets had been cleaned of the many corpses that had been so terrible yesterday, and the horse team of Ishbal and his party was ready to go.

After escorting him over, the captain who was waiting there asked, "How about thinking about it, I only asked you this time before I arrived in Blue Cloud City!"

Seeing that Major still had a cold face, Ishbal didn't care, turned around and ordered:

"Put him in the prisoner van and go!"

Major was stuffed into a wagon converted into a cage, and the team set off for the journey.

The journey to Blue Cloud City took about a day and a night, but because it was a rapid march on a single horse, it would take half the time to return with the 'burden' of Meijie. Even so, there was no intention of taking too much care of him, a prisoner, on the way, and the road was very fast.

Val, who was towing the horses of the cart on the way, seemed to be deliberately breaking down, controlling the cart as far as it could into the potholes, and the rudimentary cage and shackles he wore allowed Major to toss and turn uncontrollably, not fatally, but in agony.

The other soldiers and Val laughed at this as they marched, and Ishubal, who had previously tried to restrain them, became unconcerned, perhaps because he felt that it was okay for the soldiers to do so without harming the lives of their captives, or because he was a little annoyed by his lack of cooperation.

Anyway, by the time he stopped to rest at noon, Major's body had been tossed with countless bruises and bruises!

The soldiers stopped to rest and eat by the way, Val took the dry food and handed it to Major, when Major reached out to get it from the gap in the cage, but Val suddenly moved the food away from the distance, and repeated several teasing like treating a captured beast caused the surrounding soldiers to laugh, under Val's teasing expression, Major withdrew his hand, no matter how the other party signaled, he was unmoved.

Lacking any fun, Val seemed to be bored and moved not as quickly as he used to, so Major spotted an opening, reached out and kicked Val's outstretched wrist, then hooked back and kicked the fallen food into his hand.

But before he could hold the coarse piece of bread, a cracking sound sounded, and the arrow flew into the cage from the side, hitting the food in his hand and flying out along the gap on the other side of the cage, and in a blink of an eye, a soldier was standing not far away with his bow drawn.

"Good!"

The other soldiers cheered, and Val was especially agitated, for he had nearly lost face in front of the hateful prisoner had it not been for his companion's arrow.

Major just threw the remaining slice of bread into his mouth, and then leaned back into the cage and closed his eyes, as if the gang had just played a little joke on him.

"Hmph! If you don't appreciate feeding you well, then don't eat it! Make it clear, you're just a prisoner now, pretending, sooner or later I want you to look good!"

Val yelled and stepped aside to rest with his companions, he didn't know what Major was thinking about right now, otherwise he wouldn't have had it so easy!

After a long rest, Ishbal ordered the journey to continue, and the carriage and horses set off again.

Almost as in the morning, it had been a boring and dusty rush, perhaps because he had finally gotten tired of the torturous tricks, or because he had been exhausted by the journey, Val had been much less aggressive against Major, and it seemed that he could go on without incident.

But before he reached a dense forest, Major, who was originally spread out in the prisoner cart, suddenly burst out and shouted:

"Stop, there's an ambush!"
