Chapter 181: Moral Torture
……
Night.
More than five hundred people gathered around a campfire.
They were all people who had escaped from the gladiatorial arena.
Yaoen, Chen Ye, Rhodes, female aliens, and other captives.
Eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight people were killed until less than five hundred remained, and in this case, except for Rhodes and his aliens who were not sad, everyone else was in a heavy mood and could not extricate themselves.
"So......" Rhodes was exhausted, leaning into the arms of the female alien and raising his chin to look at Yaoen, "you're a ruthless character. ”
This sentence has no beginning or end, and the reason why Rod said this sentence is because he recalled what happened in the gladiatorial arena, and then sincerely felt that Yao En was a ruthless character.
If Yao En wanted to, he could just go straight into the foundry and save everyone.
Both he and his power armor can fight alone, which is equivalent to two main combat power.
Rhodes is also a smart man, and after a little thought, he knows why Yao En was deliberately captured, and why he didn't immediately call out the power armor to participate in the battle.
This was actually a trap for Kwynne to get him back, and then kill him, stopping the whole ritual.
"......" Yaoen didn't give any response, as if he hadn't heard Rod at all.
"Since you're so strong, why don't you protect everyone and just get out of the gladiatorial arena?" Rod smiled and asked, "The more than 8,000 people who died can't have nothing to do with you, right?" ”
He knew why Yao En didn't fight in the gladiatorial arena, and why he didn't get the power armor out in the first place...... Rhodes likes to stir up trouble, and if he sees such a good opportunity to stir things slip away in front of him, he will feel uncomfortable.
"The enemy is performing a ritual that, if successful, will have dire consequences." Yao En raised his head to look at Rhodes and responded directly to the question, "Between the lives of more than 8,000 people and the Stopping Ceremony, I chose the latter. ”
As soon as the words fell, all the captives present looked at Yaoen, and then lowered their heads again.
Chen Ye also glanced at Yao En, and after thinking about it carefully, he thought that this was the right decision, and if it was him to make the decision, he would definitely choose the latter.
Gladiatorial battles were fought not just once, but all the time, and thousands of people died every solar hour, their lives and blood sacrificed...... If a ritual of this magnitude were successful, the entire casting world would be in danger.
"Isn't this taking advantage of everyone? You're so strong, can't you just find Kwyan's location and make him do? Rod asked again.
Chen Ye glanced at Rhodes, thinking to himself, what did you say when I asked you where Kween was in the gladiatorial arena?
"I can't find Kveen, so I'll have to use this method to lure the snake out of the hole." Once again, Yao Eun answered honestly without shying away from it.
Yao Eun had a plan from the beginning, which was to disguise himself as a prisoner of war to interfere with the ceremony, and then lure out the person in charge of the ceremony and kill him.
That's why the Praetorian Power Armor wasn't used in the first place, because Kween hadn't returned yet.
"It's boring." Rod felt that Yao En was not in the oil and salt, and he didn't show any guilt, so he stopped this kind of moral torture.
Rhodes had used psionic energy many times with the soulless suppression, and feeling exhausted, he fell backwards into the arms of the female alien, communicating with the alien in a strange language.
Yao En looked at the alien behind Rod, and he thought that it was definitely not an alien but a demon.
The reason is simple.
Yao En remembers hearing about the Chaos Warband, in which some of the Chaos Space Marines summon demons for their own use.
Rhodes is clearly the one who can summon demons.
"Ahem......" Chen Ye cleared his throat and looked at Rode, "Do you think we forgot about you?" You damned traitor heretic, you don't think that if you perform well in the gladiatorial arena, you won't be considered an enemy by us, right? ”
Hearing this, Rod sat up straight and looked at Chen Ye with some surprise: "I thought we were already friends." In the eyes of fear, people's relationships are that they don't know each other, we may come from different gangs, but as long as we have cooperated, we will become friends. ”
When he said this again, Rod was not ordinarily sincere, and he sounded a little aggrieved, just like he really regarded Chen Ye as a friend, but Chen Ye did not regard him as a friend.
Yao En had wanted to warn Chen Ye not to believe anything a Chaos Space Marine's words, but Chen Ye seemed to know better than he did.
"They don't believe what they say." Chen Ye frowned and warned Yaoen, then turned his head to stare at Rhodes, "Don't pretend to be innocent, you're not a fuel-efficient lamp, you must have been thinking about how to kill us for a long time, right?" ”
Hearing this, Rhodes was silent for a moment, and shook his head very seriously: "I really wanted to kill you after I came out, but now I don't want to." ”
Listening to the conversation between the two, everyone else present felt that their breathing had become heavy, and they didn't know if it was because the filter in their lungs was working or what was happening.
The air in the casting world still smells of iron even if it is filtered, but at this moment you can smell gunpowder.
The crisis that Chen Ye and Rhodes need to face together has been resolved, and now the two are back in the prison cell, that is, they also want to cooperate with each other, but they are also thinking about killing each other after leaving the gladiatorial arena.
"Let's wrap it up." Chen Ye slowly got up and walked to the open space next to the campfire, his eyes fixed on Rod.
Yao En got up and walked to Chen Ye's side, his position was already very obvious.
The newly rescued captives saw Rhodes fighting the enemy in the gladiatorial arena, and they didn't really want to kill him, but as Imperials, they still had to choose between friend and foe.
"It's none of your business!" Chen Ye shouted to the captives, signaling them not to come and retreat as far as possible.
Yao En stared at Rod, his shoulder cannon locked on and ready to fire, and he saw Rod's girlfriend-like alien...... No, it's a demon. The demon also sensed that the atmosphere was wrong, and took a fighting stance with the bone knife in hand.
Rhodes didn't stand up, he was still sitting by the campfire, just raising his hand to signal the demon not to interfere in the matter.
"Get up and fight." Chen Ye clenched his fists, "I don't kill those who don't resist." ”
"Don't be in a hurry, little young." There was a laugh from under Rod's helmet, and he did not get up to prepare for battle, still sitting by the campfire.
This young sentence made Chen Ye very dissatisfied: "I have served for eighty-four years. ”
"Huh?" Yao En on the side was stunned for a moment.
Rhodes didn't take off his helmet, and no one knew what he looked like, but everyone thought that Yao En and Chen Ye looked like they were the same age.
"Eighty-four years? Haha......" Rhodes suddenly raised his head to look up at the starry sky, "How long ago did I leave my home planet...... It seems to be one hundred and twenty-nine years in the thirtieth millennium, or maybe one hundred and forty years......"
Sorry brothers, but there is still something to do today,
So I stayed up late and wrote five chapters to send out
