Chapter 229: Choice
The sky was white, Kudryash lay straight on the bed, his bloodshot eyes open, and the chaos that was rolling in his mind kept him awake all night, and he couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Maybe Artemi was caught? Maybe the man didn't agree? Live to say that Artemi abandoned himself!?
Even after a sleepless night, his mind was still tumbling through these unsolvable questions.
Just as he was in a daze, a majestic team of giant beast knights was slowly approaching not far from the prison.
On the first ride sat a beautiful female knight, with golden hair leaking out of the hood, and half of her face could be faintly seen under the hood, and under the delicate nose was a thin red lip, which made people naturally float in their hearts that this was a thought that this belonged only to a beauty.
Catherine looked at the destination not far ahead with a cold face, and the thought of recruiting the scum inside into the great knight order, felt a greasy feeling in her heart, although the trauma in the sewers could no longer affect her life, but the disgust for those scum was unforgettable.
But even so, the idea of unconditionally obeying all the general's orders had already been engraved in the depths of her heart when she subconsciously followed the man out of the sewers, so she still led her team here.
There were several other teams that came here at the same time as her team to carry out the selection mission, and each team chose a prison area.
At the door, several soldiers under the leadership of the captain have already opened the door, full of fear and honestly standing aside, the captain looked at a dozen giant beasts walking towards him, only felt that his legs and feet seemed to be uncontrollable, and his heart was panicked, last night he received an order that he must gather all the prisoners in his jurisdiction today and have the knights to take them away, but he saw that it was still early, and thought that those knights would not come so early.
Just as he was hesitating whether he was going to call the lucky bastards now, the knight squad had already walked in front of him.
Catherine glanced at the men in military uniforms under her, and then looked at the courtyard, where she frowned at the empty and quiet scene.
"What about people?"
"Eh, I, I'll go and call them up right away!" I don't know if it's the strong oppressive force given by the giant beast in front of me or if I want to make up for it, the team leader hurriedly turned around, and at the same time pulled a few other soldiers, several soldiers were already stared at by the giant beast and were pulled by the captain, and they hurriedly ran in.
Soon, a shout broke the silence of the prison area, and the entire prison area gradually boiled, especially when he saw a dozen giant beasts at the door, he was even more exclaimed, and then under the repeated urging of the soldiers, he dragged and gathered in the open space, but the place from the gate was empty a large piece, and no one seemed to dare to move forward.
Catherine looked at the prisoners' expressions of instant preparation to turn and flee, and her heart became more and more dissatisfied.
When the team leader saw the large open space in front of the prisoners, he was both amused and annoyed.
"A bunch of bastards, do you know you're lucky today? Ahhh
Hearing the squad leader's hoarse shouting and scolding, the crowd suddenly stirred, and people's faces were in disbelief, and they excitedly asked each other, and immediately the whole venue buzzed.
Gradually, I don't know who got up, the open space in front of the crowd was filled in a few breaths, and the people behind were still unwillingly squeezing forward, as if they would lose this opportunity if they didn't stand in front.
The crowd did not please Catherine, who seemed to her to think that they were just trying to live a wonderful life of eating meat and drinking in large bowls.
She exorcised the demon and rode towards the crowd, and in an instant, the raging crowd quickly fell silent.
Ekaterina glanced at it, and her dry and decadent faces were faintly red at this time, as if she had been injected with a stimulant, and they all looked at her nervously and urgently.
I don't know how many of you still have courage.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the General has decided to give you a chance to mend your ways, and those of you who are qualified will be elected to the Order as glorious knights!
Of course, being a knight is not only about glory, but also about duty.
The responsibility is that the enemy is coming, and you must be on the front line!
Listen clearly now, those who are not afraid of death stay where they are and wait for the selection, and the others return to their rooms without moving, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless!
Let's start choosing!"
After the crisp and cold voice dissipated, the scene fell silent.
The red glow on the prisoners' faces gradually dissipated, as if the effects of stimulants had dissipated, and reason returned to their minds, and their faces showed various entanglements.
The words of the giant beast knight in front of them woke them up from their desires, and they seemed to be eating meat and drinking in a big bowl, but they had to fight with their lives!
At the back of the crowd, a man's face was tangled for a long time, as if he thought that it was good now, even if he had to do dirty work and get half a bowl of food in the end, so that he would not starve to death, but after all, he was still alive!
So he peeked around, then slowly moved back, and as if noticing that no one was noticing him, he hurriedly turned around and ran towards his cell.
The crackling footsteps seemed to sound the signal to retreat, and as if giving an excuse, first one or two, and the people in the crowd who watched the knight's reaction found that there would be no punishment, so they continued to run back like a scattered tide, and gradually, the crowd that had been crowded just now soon became loosened, and at last when no one moved, there were only about two or three hundred people standing in the whole clearing.
Looking at everything in front of him, the team leader standing on the side was stunned.
Among those who chose to stay, Kudryash's exhaustion from a night of sleep had long been swept away, and his eyes burned as he looked at the knight not far in front of him, and his heart trembled with excitement.
A night of cranky thoughts and frustration was released in an instant when he saw the silver-white figure at the door, and then the knight's speech confirmed his conjecture.
Seeing that the others retreated in the face of the opportunity to change their fate, he only regretted how he had recruited these garbage subordinates in the first place, and he secretly said, okay, at least he didn't have to worry about handing over his rear to them.
As if she hadn't seen the change in front of her, Catherine calmly turned back to her knights and nodded.
"Let's get started!"
