Chapter 315: Sacrifice
"But......" Stannis still wanted to contradict him, after all, he had only witnessed the atrocities of those demons, and he really didn't know if this demon named Helliana was a deliberate pretending to be a good person like his kind, and he believed that these monsters were bad to the bone.
"That's it, Hayley will take you to the square, now every second passes, the monsters cultivated by Tucker grow stronger and bigger, and then I'm afraid it's too late. ”
"I thought you were indifferent to the town. ”
"I'm not here for this town, I just don't want to see more people die on this worthless thing. ”
"It's not a tsundere ...... yet"
After Kovo finished speaking, he didn't give him a chance to refute, and Stannis knew that it was useless to say anything now.
"Okay, but if that banshee sells me, I won't let you go, by the way, can you give me a sword?"
Both of Stannis's weapons have been left behind in the crypts of Oak Town, so don't let him fight with his fists when he is in danger!
But this simple request made Kovo very difficult, "I don't have any weapons here. ”
Stannis suspected that his ears had misheard, "What, you, as a dignified soldier or a high-ranking officer, don't talk about a bunch of artifacts, just high-quality weapons should fill the entire warehouse, how can you not have a single weapon!"
"Because Helliana said she was afraid of these shiny things. "Kowo's face doesn't change.
“......”
"When I rescued you, I still went with a scythe to cut the weeds. ”
“......”
"By the way, there is also a firewood knife here, do you want to use it first?"
“......”
Stannis pushed open the door with a black line on his face, and his belt was now hung not only with a row of bottles and cans of colorful potions, but also with a rusty wood knife pinned to it, although he suspected that this blunt knife might not even be able to kill a demon with an iron coat.
Behind him was Corvo, the smiling man still carrying the massive scythe instead of the machete the lord had always thought.
Heliana approached them as if she had been waiting for a long time, and Stannis, who already knew her true identity, couldn't help but clench her fists silently, it was impossible for him to unguard against demons.
But the woman did not care at all about his unfriendliness, and in her eyes only the task was the most important.
"Everything is ready?" The goblins seem to be more active than humans in destroying pumpkins.
Corvo nodded, "I've been taking care of you for a long time, and I'm afraid it's not so easy to say goodbye this time." ”
Stannis pouted on the side: "It's not good for me to say such unlucky things as soon as I come up......"
"Where's the Kimberly?" Corvo looked up again to look for his old friend.
"Here!" a drunken voice came from under the tree, and Kimberly hobbled towards them, looking like he had poured a large amount of wine.
But Corvo didn't blame him in the slightest, everyone knew it was a mortal journey, but Kimberly, the former mayor of the town, was happy to go, even though Oaktown had nothing left to save.
"Don't drink too much, old friend, I need your loud voice to lure those bastards out of bed. ”
Kimberly laughed, not taking this life-related matter to heart at all, "Don't worry, the more drunk I get, the louder I become." ”
"It's eight o'clock in the evening, and we're scheduled to act at twelve o'clock, when the moon rises to its highest, is there a problem?"
Everyone shook their heads, but Stannis was still uneasy and asked, "Since we are all gone, won't there be no one to take care of the house?" ”
"I'll just come. ”
A familiar female voice, Stannis turned his head and found that Evelyn, who had been seriously injured, had been able to get out of bed, and although she could only walk around with a cane, it took less than a day to recover her injuries to this point, which was a miracle.
"The Spell Hunter is indeed a master of using divine magic. Wall was not surprised, having been saved by the priest countless times in his nearly a decade or so in the military.
Still uneasy, Stannis approached her and whispered, "Are you really okay, Yoyo?" ”
Evelyn waved her head at him with a bright smile, "It's okay, Anya can leave it to me." ”
Seeing the liveliness of her and the two of them, Stannis didn't say anything, he just gave the girl a thumbs up, saying that he would definitely be able to complete the task and come back alive.
Kovo didn't have time to watch the man and woman fall in love over there, so he interrupted them and said, "Now that everything is arranged and everyone is ready to go, we will take back Oak Town from them today." ”
The four then split up, with Wall and Kimberly heading south of town to attract the attention of the demons, while Stannis and Helliana sneak up from the cliffs north of town into the town.
Along the way, just in case, Stannis deliberately followed behind Heliana, and the nightmare of being betrayed by Armin cast a shadow in his heart, and he didn't want to be attacked by this demon again.
But Hyliana was silent and led the way, her movements skilful, stopping from time to time to see if any demons were eyeing them, and she scouted every place where the sentinels might be hidden, until she made sure that there was no one inside.
I didn't expect the monster to be more attentive than herself, but why would she be so familiar with this place?
After walking for half an hour, Stannis, who was poor and hungry and bored, finally couldn't control his mouth and talked to the other party.
"Hyliana, how can you, as a demon, be so familiar with this place?"
The woman didn't look back, she probed the air with her nose to see if there was any smell of the same kind, and she continued to answer only when it was absolutely safe.
"Because I've been living here for two years and came with Tucker. ”
"What!" Stannis pulled out his wood knife at once, and he knew that these demons were in a group.
But in the face of the 'weapon' in his hand, Heliana did not have the slightest fear, and she did not even stop.
"Don't worry, I'm not your enemy, I've dreamed of slashing Tucker just as much as you do. ”
"Why?" Stannis could tell from her tone that the demon was full of hatred for Mayor Tucker, which was definitely not something that could be feigned.
Hyliana turned her head, her pupils turned silver in the moonlight, her teeth were sharp as knives, and she couldn't maintain her human appearance in the midst of her rage.
"Because he also deceived all of us demons!"
