The latest chapter of "Monster Minotaur"...
In the underground prison of a fortress that Sarasin had become, slave soldiers were resting there. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info// Welcome to Reading//.It's only been nearly five or six days since they were deceived and imprisoned here. They didn't know where it was, and they couldn't see the sun outside to tell the time, so they could only roughly infer how long they had been locked up based on the number of times the prison guards brought food.
Generally speaking, being imprisoned is a serious blow to morale, and the pain of losing one's freedom and poor food can be frustrating and frustrating. But for this special group of warriors, being imprisoned and the hard bread like bricks is nothing, the situation they have suffered as slaves is even more miserable than now, those black-hearted merchants have never regarded them as human beings, except for working day and night, they are imprisoned in dark cells, and the food they eat is not as good as pigs and dogs, and now the treatment here is good, the only thing they are worried about is whether the girl who led them will be too hard, after all, she has not experienced the ordeal of slaves。
"No way, those nobles can't betray us. The knights, who had been imprisoned in the cell, could not believe that they had been betrayed, and sat weakly in the corner muttering to themselves. Some broken bread was scattered around them, and some even had some vomit around them, even if the knights could only be regarded as low-ranking nobles, but the high quality of life brought to them by their family made them unable to accept the current treatment, and the only thing they could do was complain.
"It's at least better to have bread to eat than to eat grass and bugs. Bond, who sat in the corner like no one else, slowly soaked the hard bread with water, and then put it in his mouth little by little and said, "I remember when I was training in the SS, it was the real painful moment." Saying...... Why didn't your god save you? Did he just let you be burned or imprisoned like this? Or is your god just a hypocrisy, as others say? ”
Bond looked at the girl sitting in the center, also doing the same thing, she was the one who was saved by him risking his life, although the flames of that day had burned on her body, but the miraculous thing was that she was not harmed in any way, which made Bond, who originally thought that she was not an impostor, is now a little unsure of what she is. There is no doubt that there is some kind of power in her body that protects her from mortal harm.
"How can the surname of God be pondered by those who work for demons? The knightess, who was guarding the girl's side, heard Bond's words and said, "Even the gods have their own principles of preference, and not all gods are suitable for battle. Just like the goddess of wealth in Carthage, we have to offer our income in order to get help, and the more money you are willing to give, the more likely it is that what you pray for will be fulfilled. Riya's gods must have been the reason why things were the way they were. ”
"That's right. Another knight, who seemed to be in good spirits, said, "At least the god didn't hurt her, and I don't think the flames would have burned her to death even if we hadn't saved her." Maybe it would be better, maybe we did something bad with good intentions, maybe the god wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to show his miracles. The knight's words were approved by the majority of the people after a moment of thought, and now they were the only way to explain them.
"It's not like that. However, the girl, who had been silent all along, looked at everyone's reaction and said slowly: "Originally, my life should have ended, and some things have happened recently that my gods want me to die." And as a child of Carthage, I could not resist the princess's orders, even if she wanted to put me to death. ”
"Is this the so-called foolish loyalty? Then it seems that convincing you to serve Thunder Cliff is an unlikely thing, it seems that I have to find a way to get out of here, and I was thinking if I could use this time to persuade you. Bond shook his head a little mockingly and said, "But before I leave here, I still have some doubts that I haven't figured out. You say your god wants you dead, but why did he protect you in the end......? Who are your gods? If they are the living gods, how can the Inquisition sentence you to death? ”
"Things are always changing. The girl pondered for a moment and said, "To be honest, I don't know why, my god finally gave up on the idea and let me stay in the mortal world to continue to serve him. Maybe it's because some things have changed, and as for who my god is, I don't have his permission, so I can't tell you his ......."
The girl's words were interrupted, not because someone said something, but because she stopped speaking autonomously. Some silver light appeared in her eyes, shining like the sun in the darkness, and the guards who were originally guarding the outside world picked up their weapons one by one when they saw this situation, but they couldn't figure out what was going on. It seemed to them that the girl with silver eyes must belong to a mage or something, but this was not what they knew, there was no mage among these prisoners.
After a few moments, the silver glow dissipated from the girl's eyes, and everything returned to normal. As if nothing had happened, except for the slave warriors who had witnessed it, and the stunned knights, there weren't many people who actually believed that the girl was an oracle, but that she was a master of tactics, and now they were a little overwhelmed by the situation.
"My god has just told me something. Leah, who came to her senses, stunned everyone at one moment, and finally stopped her gaze on Bond and said, "I can go with you to Elamite to help you fight, and the only thing you have to promise is to spare those Carthaginian civilians in the war." ”
"Your god changes face so quickly. Bond smiled and said, hearing Leah's words. He stood up, quietly pulled a steel wire with two rings at both ends from the collar of his clothes, caught the cover of the soldiers who stood up, walked to the iron pillar of the cage, and pulled the wire around it, easily ripped it off, and broke Bond at the other end in the same way, put away the wire and took the iron rod, and met the five guards who rushed over when they found the abnormality......
Just when the imprisoned slave warriors are making a fuss with the help of Bond. In a meeting place of nobles in the city of Salasin, a group of young nobles were discussing what had happened recently, only since the last time the slave legions attacked the execution site, their meetings had become more and more secretive, and they were looking for a traitor who could exist, and only yesterday they had found that person.
"We were calculated by the old guys, and it's to blame that we didn't carefully vet the members who joined, and we can't allow this to happen in the future. Pock, who was sitting at the long table and was in charge of the meeting, said, "Of course...... It was all a loss later, and what we had to deal with now was about the captured slave warriors, whom Carthage needed as a good army. ”
"Now the entire continent has declared war on the Elam Demon King. The red-haired nobleman on the side heard Pock's words and said, "The group of warriors who have gathered have also gone to the front, and the power of the entire kingdom has been placed there. If we can get the support of this army, we can stage a coup d'état in the royal capital to gain power and force the old guys to change the treaty. We haven't been completely defeated in the first place, so why should we be burdened with such humiliating terms!"
The words of the red-haired nobles resonated with a whole group, and most of these young men believed that Carthage had not yet been defeated, and that they would be the ones who would win if they continued to fight, and that the terms arranged by the temple seemed to them to be the greatest insult to Carthage. Although they can't argue with the temple, they can at least use the power they can control to mobilize the power of the entire royal capital to change the temple's decision.
In this world where there are gods, although the power of theocracy is very strong, the royal power is not without any room for resistance, even the current emperor of Maro once said: "What is divine belongs to God, and what is Caesar belongs to Caesar." "The proud and conceited king doesn't have much affection for the divine right above him, especially when the gods have stopped the war they are about to win and asked him to send troops against a difficult bone.
After arguing for a while, the young nobles finally got down to business and began to discuss how to rescue the captured impostor envoy, and just as they had discussed it and came up with a feasible method, the guard who was in charge of letting the wind outside ran in and brought him unexpected news, there was a battle in the fortress outside the city, and the people who were seizing the fortress were the slaves they were discussing to rescue......
"The Carthaginians are really good opponents. "Bond, who had just wanted to kill him, changed his mind when he saw forty slave soldiers running around chasing after nearly five or six times more enemies than them, and he could get a lot of good things by capturing this fortress!
