Chapter 333: The Dungeon
Genius 3 seconds to remember the website of this site [pen maze .]
Highly recommended:
The silent city of Shining Sand at night was as dead as a cold tomb, even the birds that used to hover in the night sky were silent, and the blood that rushed to the sky shrouded the entire city through the blockade of the dark sky, but because of the strong grievances and unwillingness contained in it, even those scavenging hyenas and vultures did not dare to approach. If you like it, you can get it
The northern prison of the city, a dark building converted from a slave camp, mottled with blood and moss crawled all over the corners, and down the cold and damp stone steps, a trail of dragged blood became the most obvious sign to the depths of the cell.
"Have you figured it out?"
Gnison stood grimly in front of the rusty iron grate.
"Now go and admit your mistake to the leader and kill the traitors with my own hands, and I can still intercede with Shiva, you know, she never wanted you to die. ”
By the dim light of the fire, a dark figure could be seen lying in the cell in front of Gnison, his size could not be judged by his huddled body, but the knotted muscles that flickered in the firelight and the totem tattoo attached to it could be seen that he was a barbarian.
At this moment, his whole body has been soaked in blood, and a large number of black blood clots have even dried up and attached to his scarred skin like snake scales, the most terrifying thing is the four sunken gaps in the wrists and ankles, and the exposed muscles and white bones can be seen to be directly caused by the sharp axe chopping, which means that this person's hands and feet have all been cut off.
It's not picking, it's chopping, and only a thin layer of skin and flesh is still hanging on the strong and powerful limbs at this time, but what is even more surprising is that the grass in front of the man is still gently swaying with the ups and downs of his chest, and he hasn't died under such a terrible trauma, even if he is a barbarian, he can be called tough and strong.
"I... Not... Wrong, barbaric ... A man's axe never sprints... Same... Womb. ”
When the barbarian spoke, the torch that had been flickering dimly suddenly jumped, and the sparks splattered just enough to illuminate his blood-stained face.
Haag!
It was hard, but Hag said what he wanted to say, and it was followed by a violent cough and beastly wheezing, the suffocating pain in his chest and brain that made him want to suck the whole world in, but the wounds accumulated in his body made him almost cough out his lungs.
"Hmph, I don't know what to do, then you just wait for tomorrow to go to the guillotine with those cowardly traitors!"
Gnison flicked his robe sleeves angrily, and strode out of the cell.
To be honest, if it weren't for Tanan's intentions, he wouldn't have wanted to come at all, maybe he used to think of Hag as a brother, but as the differences between the two of them became more and more serious, they were almost in a state of parting ways.
However, if it weren't for Haag's bravery in the decisive battle on the Plains of Brakadon, and if his performance at that moment hadn't happened to be seen by the leader, maybe he would have been able to be good brothers with Haag in the near future.
In any case, Haag was introduced to the leader by him and was still the captain under his command, so he should be generous in public and private, and the concept of governing the army can be completely classified as a personal hobby without affecting the army's operations, which is not a principled contradiction.
But that all changed when he realized that the leader was interested in promoting Haag.
Many people are like this, when they are in a high position, they can often take care of others and be kind, and once the person who is being cared for is more capable and than he is, that kind of care and tolerance will turn into deep resentment and jealousy, as if what belongs to him has been robbed.
Gnison is that kind of person.
Especially after the leader ordered the punishment of civilians who had accepted the favor of the enemy and beheaded all the original defenders of Shining Sand City, Haq was the first to jump out and fiercely oppose him, but in this case, Tanan still did not kill him, but only cut off his hands and feet and threw him into the prison for his own reflection, and after dinner, he personally found Gnison to persuade Hag to change his mind, and even said that as long as Hag was willing to bow his head and admit his mistakes, he would not be blamed.
You must know that the state of the leader in the daytime is in the eyes of everyone, it is the indignation that has been angry to the extreme, and the frost can drip from the eyes, it is the first time in so many years that he has seen the leader so angry, just change someone who is not Haag, even if he goes up to oppose it, he does not dare to guarantee that he will not be killed on the spot.
However, this discovery made his heart full of jealousy for Haag, he had worked hard for so many years to get his current position, and Haq had only been back for a few months, and his status was about to rise to the side with him or even surpass him, why?
In terms of seniority, he is higher than Hag, in terms of bravery, he doesn't have to be worse than Hag, and even in terms of armament and strategy and ability to command the army, he feels that he is above Hag in everything, and even he has always regarded himself as the first person under Tanan, and now that this status is threatened, he is naturally like a hyena that has been robbed of carrion and shows his hideous fangs.
However, at this time, he forgot a very important point, he forced Hag to come back and personally pushed the other party to the leader, and Hag was only doing what he had to do from beginning to end, and never showed that he wanted to fight for anything.
But it doesn't matter, Gnison thought to himself.
When he returned, he would report to the leader that Haq had not repented, and then tomorrow he would be guillotined with the three thousand defenders, and he had other things to do.
The leader ordered that all the people who had received food from the enemy must hand over the food and bear the hard labor of repairing the city, but when Lear opened the warehouse to release the grain, he did not count the number at all, and the people basically went to the square to eat, except for the food distributed on the last day, how did the commoners know how much they had eaten?
But this is not difficult for Gnison, just search from house to house, as long as there is surplus food in the house, all will be confiscated, but if there is resistance, kill on the spot, his proposal has also been tacitly acquiesced by Tanan, so it is only one day, and the entire Dongcheng District is already bleeding.
At this moment, the families of the 2,000 barbarians who had been shot by Lear under the city of Shining Sand also jumped out, scolding the brutality of the enemy and the servility of the defenders.
After Gnison was gone, Hag curled up on the ground in that position for a long time, until the torches on the wall burst again, and the light in the dungeon became dim again, and he rolled over in pain, staring on his back at the cold stone wall above his head.
"Boss, I can't follow you anymore. ”
He let out a helpless sigh, wanting to laugh but the corners of his mouth were pulled by the injuries on his body, and his whole face showed a hideous face wrapped in severe pain.
"Why?"
Suddenly, a tired voice came from the corner of the next prison, and Hag turned his eyes when he heard the sound, only to find that his neck was not at all obedient and could not reach the darkness in that corner.
"What, why?"
He replied with wide eyes.
Although he couldn't see it, he didn't hear any malice from that voice, and it was not bad to have someone to chat with from left to right, I don't know why he suddenly missed the green-skinned and pointy-eared wood elf very much at this time.
"Why disobey your leader, isn't he a god to you?"
There was a rustling sound of grass being crushed in the darkness, as if a heavy object was trying to climb from above, and it seemed that the man next door was also badly injured.
"God is also a human being, and he has only done what we can't do, so he became God. Haag took a painful breath. "As long as people make mistakes, Tanan-sama is the same, since he has made mistakes, then naturally someone has to point them out, but unfortunately he is no longer the Tanan-sama he used to be, his eyes have been blinded by hatred and can no longer see the world clearly. ”
"God is also man...", the figure crawling out of the darkness chewed on this sentence diligently, if anyone dared to say such a rebellious remark in front of him before, needless to say, he would have immediately ordered the Inquisition to be burned at the stake, but at this time he could only smile silently.
"Who told you that?"
The black shadow leaned against the cold iron grate, the dim light of the fire fell on the folds of his forehead and the corners of his eyes, and the white hair of his sideburns lit up, and those eyes still shone with the light of wisdom and compassion, but the face that was originally vicissitudes and kindness was now full of blood and wounds.
Archbishop Ronis of Erathia!
"Our boss said it!" As soon as the word 'chief' was spoken, Haag's originally gloomy eyes immediately lit up with pride.
"Boss?" Although he already knew that it was impossible to summarize such philosophical words with the wisdom of a barbarian, Ronis still took a keen interest in the 'head' in Haag's mouth.
"That must be a very interesting person. ”
It is said that people are dying and their words are good, and at the last moment of this life, Ronice did not think of the temple of the god of war Attis, but just wanted to re-examine the world with a peaceful mind.
"It's not just interesting, it's just ...... It's so interesting!" "As soon as he heard someone complimenting Learhag, he immediately felt refreshed, as if the pain around his body was not so unbearable.
But after thinking about it, he didn't understand what words were more appropriate to use, and finally he had no choice but to add the word 'too' in front of Ronis's evaluation.
"Hehe, you're also very interesting, I'm curious how you have an extra 'head', isn't your leader Tanan?" The slang terms were still a bit tongue-in-cheek to Ronis, but he tried to mellow them out with Haag's tone.
"That's a long story, you lean over a little bit, I'm having a hard time talking like that. ”
Because of his injury, Hag could only lie flat and even had difficulty turning his neck, so he hadn't seen Ronis's face clearly until now, but even that didn't hinder his enthusiasm for talking to the other party.
He struggled to move himself backwards so that the pain of tugging at his neck and ribcage as he inhaled would lessen, and Ronis crawled a few more feet toward him as he was told.
