Chapter Ninety-Eight: Old Acquaintances

"Gretel?"

A scream of pain rang out in the woods, and the guy who had been struck by the knife rolled back and forth on the ground, and Hawke stepped forward and stepped on his chest, then raised the scimitar in his hand. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"No! Hawke!" Diredo finally recognized who the guy was being stepped on by Hawke, and he ran out from behind the tree, instinctively trying to stop the killing that was about to happen, but he was still some distance away from Hawke, and the scimitar was about to slice open Gretel's chest.

At this moment of lightning, the woman who had been slapped to the ground by Hawke jumped up, knocked Hawke to the side, and rolled with him in her arms. In desperation, Hawke struck the woman's arm with the hilt of his knife, but the woman's arms tightened tighter and tighter. This unexpected turn of events froze Diledo for a moment, and Wall rushed up and grabbed Gretel's jaw and put the knife on his neck.

"Let go!" Wall shouted back to the woman.

The woman finally let go of Hawke under Wall's threat, and she said in a slightly weeping tone, "Please, don't kill him, he has no choice but to ...... He was blackmailed by Drogris with the child...... He tried to assassinate Zurgris...... He still has wounds on his body......"

"What?" asked Hawke and Wall in unison, the woman's explanation clearly surprising them. A string of questions also crossed Dildedo's mind, and he subconsciously looked at the woman, then his eyes widened in disbelief.

The woman who appeared in front of him had a tear mole, and the corners of her eyes drooped slightly, which made her face look pitiful, and this face immediately awakened a memory that Dildedo tried to forget but could not shake off—he dragged a woman out of the "paradise" that Drogris had constructed, and the woman had accidentally fallen and broken her foot, and he looked at the approaching pursuers, and cowardly left her.

"Amanda?" muttered Diredo. He had always thought that Amanda would never survive, he thought he would be disgraced forever, and he had imagined her as a bloodied undead at one point, but who would have thought that they would meet again under such circumstances?

Dildedo's low cry stopped the woman who was about to crawl towards Wall, and she turned to look at Dildedo, the expression on her face suddenly becoming very surprised, but the surprise quickly turned to disgust, and finally to a self-deprecating smile.

"It's me, I didn't expect us to meet again, Diredo, ah Diredo......" Amanda slowly straightened up.

"I swore that whoever could take me out of that cave, I would give him my soul, and you wouldn't force me to fight hard here. Amanda said, pointing at Gretel. She bites the word "desperate" very hard.

These words made Di Ledo hang his head in embarrassment, and Wall on the side couldn't help but open his mouth slightly when he saw this.

At this moment, Ola came out from behind the tree. Wall saw Ola glance at Amanda, then put away his bow and ran to his side, and couldn't help but bow his head and cough lightly.

"Don't take it to heart, that woman can't shake your position. Wall tilted his head slightly to make fun of Ola, and then turned his attention to Gretel, who had tried to break his wrist earlier, and now put his hand at his side. He didn't scream loudly anymore, just intermittently burst out of his teeth with painful gasps, bringing out patches of white mist......

The snow is still falling from the sky, but the situation is very complicated - Silris's life and death are still uncertain, Amanda's words are difficult to tell whether they are true or false, and everyone is pressed for time but still has to think about what to do with Drogris's lieutenant......

"What should I do now?" asked Wall in a low voice. Maybe it was because things were so difficult, he thought, that he chose to let Hawke kill Gretel when he wanted to kill him. If it hadn't been for Diredo and the woman named Amanda who had stopped Hawke, he would now be faced with a corpse that could be discarded.

As Wall pondered, Ola reached over and pushed away the scimitar he had placed around Gretel's neck. The girl's actions startled Wall, who stepped aside and looked at her with the others.

I saw Ola tear open Gretel's coat three or two times, and then gently pressed a place on Gretel's shoulder, and an irrepressible cry of pain immediately overflowed from Gretel's mouth.

"What are you doing?" Not far away, Amanda was stimulated by the cry of pain, and she rushed towards Aura like crazy, and Diredo grabbed her wrist when he saw this. Amanda struggled twice in a row and couldn't break free from Diredo's grip, and couldn't help but turn her head and glared at Diredo.

Already guilty, Diredo lowered his head, as if waiting for Amanda to scold and slap him, but the sudden light of a fire diverted everyone's attention.

The light came from the torch that Wall had lit, and he was standing beside Ola to help her light it, while Ola was half-kneeling and bandaging Gretel's wounds.

In the light of the torches, Dildeau was surprised to find that in addition to the stab that Hawke had slashed on his leg, there were many old whip marks, and there was also a fresh sword wound on his shoulder that was deep and bone-piercing. These wounds were clearly not inflicted during the conflict between the peregrine falcon and the nightingale, but they were probably the work of Dragoris...... The question is, why did Drogris force his lieutenant into rebellion, and what about Amanda's previous mention that Drogris used Gretel's children as a blackmailer?

Before Diredo could clear his thoughts, a sudden remark from Gerrit startled him again.

"How did you know about this path?"

Gretel looked at Ola, who was treating her wounds, with a complicated expression, and then turned to look at Hawke.

After a brief moment of silence, Hawke let out a sneer.

"Wall, we're wasting our time saving people, so we might as well let me kill him. ”

This sentence made the atmosphere that had just eased up tense again, and Diredo saw Amanda put on a desperate posture with Hawke again, only to feel a wave of anger rushing to his head.

"Why don't you just suffocate yourself to save your breath?" Dildedo scolded, his eyes wide with rage, his whole body looking like a madman, Hawk frowned at him, and Gretel let out a few soft coughs.

"That's enough, Diredo. Wall sighed, glanced at Ola, who was still treating Grett's wounds, and then said to Gretel, "I'll do this again." ”

Wall then recounted Sireth's disappearance and how they had forced the path out of Derek's mouth. As he recounted the whole story, Gretel remained silent, and when he had finished, Gretel suddenly raised his head and said, "I can take you into Dragoris's lair." ”
