Section 320 Checkmate
Verse 320 Checkmate
Sagas reported her real name not because of a moment of negligence, nor because of her honesty. For Chaos cultists, honesty has always been a quality that is not necessary. The civil war between the Chaos tribes has long eliminated a qiē honest man. In fact, she also knew that her name might have been blacklisted by these southerners, and it was even more likely that it had already been known by Ashrufat (she didn't have as much confidence in Marven as she seemed). Tell your real name, the risk is not ordinarily large.
But if she doesn't give her real name, then she may be killed by Ashrufat as a nameless agent.
Don't say it's impossible, in fact, in the general concept of this era, the only people who can lurk in the core of the enemy are dead soldiers. Interrogating them is a waste of time, and besides, a person who is sent to a dangerous place on a dangerous mission, will his master let him know anything important?
Even if he is a captive, he dies late with a high status. Because killing small soldiers doesn't need to be thought about, killing the big boss has to think a little, at least analyze which way is more advantageous to kill now or in the future.
Besides, she already knew that Marven had made a secret pact with Aerufat, even though Marven said it was to trick Aerufat into taking out the Bloodfang Lord. The words of a Tzeentch wizard can never be trusted, but perhaps, even if it is perhaps, Eshuruphat will spare Sagas for this reason.
In fact, after revealing his identity, Ashrufat had only two choices, to kill Sagas or to let Sagas go. He couldn't hand Sagas over to the Church's people, or even arrest and imprison Sagas's men, as it would likely reveal the secret of his alliance with Chaos.
"I'm ......," Sagas was about to speak. It was a mistake for Essrufat to give her time to breathe and recover, as she had already figured out how she should escape from this unfavorable situation. Or how she thinks there is the best chance of escaping.
"Marven asked me to come. Sagas said.
"You're lying!" Ashrufat looked at the other party coldly.
"He made me ......"
"Why are you here? I now understand why Beller didn't get any information, and Parry was able to tell me suddenly. And this information, while completely correct, is a trap!"
Sagas ...... Sagas ...... By the way, I remember it was you who turned our General Rafa into this wretch now, and now you came over and turned Parry into your puppet, how did you do that?"
"I'm still ......"
"Ah, who's it. It doesn't seem to make much of a difference now. Parry's behavior seemed normal. But since it's you, I'm sure I'll get to that point sooner or later. According to the priests of the church, if it weren't for General Rafah's strong will, far beyond ordinary people, I am afraid he would have become a puppet in your hands long ago. No, I don't think Parry may have the same strong will as his father, but you've already started to do it, and you're getting results. At the very least, I'm sure Parry will tell you all about the military meeting, and then it's up to you to ...... Sue Marven, or your commander, Lord of the Blood Fangs. ”
He didn't seem to care at all about Sagas's words, as if he hadn't heard them at all.
"Guess what's going to be you going to do next? Oh, by the way, it's not enough to just get information. If it's just for intelligence, then where do you need to do it as a Chaos Lord? You actually want to try again and try the last failure...... The last time was to control zhì Rafa and thus indirectly control Gruni's Northern Army...... This time it's the control of Parry. Oh, Parry is just a lieutenant? It doesn't matter. Come to think of it, when it really came to the decisive battle on the battlefield, Parry, who commanded nearly a third of the troops, suddenly did not listen to the order...... Let the troops defect...... Ah, there's no need to turn back, just retreat...... In that case, even if the number one in the world leads the future leader, it is impossible to win. ”
After saying these words, Ashrufat lowered his head and looked at Sagas's face once more. There was an inexplicable glint in his eyes, which made Sagas can't help but feel a chill in his heart.
"Am I right?" asked Ashrufat. "From the very beginning, Marven didn't sue me about it. So I have reason to think that you and Marven shouldn't have anything to do with it......"
"Wait, I'm his ......"
"You're not one of his men. I already knew that this time the commander of the Chaos Legion was a sadistic believer called the Bloodfang Lord, not Marven! And there doesn't seem to be a subordinate relationship between the believers of different evil gods...... Sue me, what reason do you have for me not to kill you?"
"Marven asked me to come......"
"This reason is invalid, the next one. Ashrufat said.
"You can't kill me, you made a deal with him, if you kill me......"
"Then he'll keep the deal, right?" a cruel smile appeared at the corner of Ashrufat's mouth. Perhaps he would have secretly thanked me, because I knew that the followers of the evil gods often fought with each other and cooperated with each other less. He'll thank me for letting him get rid of an opponent. ”
"If you kill me, others will suspect it......"
"What do you suspect of me?" Ashrufat smiled. "Do you know who I am? Don't say that I kill one person, ten or twenty killings are just a number in other people's small reports.
"I know some secrets, kill me, and you won't get anything!" Sagas had to say. She knew very well that Ashrufat would not dare to call someone to come and arrest her for torture after all.
"I won't get anything?...... "Ashrufat couldn't help but laugh. "No, no, no, you may already know that I'm a magician, but you don't know yet...... his voice slowed down, "there's a magic in this world that can make the dead speak. ”
"Black ...... Dark magic?!" Sagas suddenly realized. This is why Ashrufat is a magician of "unknown origin". Everyone knew that a mage was much more valuable than a warrior, but Eshuruphat chose to learn the art of combat and kept his identity as a mage.
"That's right!" said Ashruphat with a smirk. "I've heard that the lords of chaos are often masters of magic as well, so you know what dark magic can do...... Yes, the dead who have been resurrected under the control of the dark arts will inevitably have some memory loss, but I think it is worth trying. ”
Suddenly, a will flashed through Sagas's mind.
"Wait...... I don't want to die!" Sagas raised his hand in surrender. "As long as you don't kill me, I can do anything for you. Whatever you want to know, I can tell you. ”
Her attitude changed so quickly, so naturally, that even Ashrufat hesitated.
"Sue me, why are you here?"
"Ma Wence asked the Lord of the Blood Fang to divide his troops and plunder. In order to prevent you from taking advantage of the situation to directly attack the base camp, I have been asked to come here as a spy. Make sure you're in control of your every move, and of course, it's best to be able to take full control of Parry. ”
"Why Parry, instead of simply choosing me or Bayor?"
"Because that little guy is not strong-willed. And a few of you are more suspenseful, and it doesn't seem like the type that can be affected in the short term. ”
Little one?Ashrufat couldn't help but look at Sagas one more time. No matter how you look at it, this woman is a little younger than Parry. However, he then remembered what Sagas had done to Rafa before, and realized that her appearance did not match her real age. How old is this woman...... Even if you guess by the lowest standard, you should be forty or fifty years old.
He suddenly remembered what Rhodia had said earlier. The vampire who ruled Sivania had the ability to rejuvenate mortals, and the evil god seemed to have that ability as well. This is why there will always be people who will be tempted by the promises of evil gods and throw themselves into the arms of chaos. In the same way, a vampire can use a small Sivania to easily crumble the whole of Ryan into a mess.
But his mind immediately shifted away from the mess and on business.
"Ma Wence asked the Bloodfang Lord to divide his troops, why did he do this, and what good did it do him?"
"I don't know, but he convinced the Bloodfang Lord. ”
"What's up there? I don't believe you don't know. ”
"He's going to make the Chaos Legion suffer a defeat. Sagas replied truthfully. "Let the Bloodfang Lord lose his position as commander, and of course, it is better to take out the Bloodfang Lord with your hand. ”
"Lend my hand?" Ashruphat was confused. If you want to talk about the plan to kill people with a knife, it is naturally understandable. Since ancient times, this kind of strategy has never been less. But let the Chaos Legion suffer a defeat...... What is Marven doing? Could it be that the current strength of the Chaos Legion has reached such a point that after suffering a defeat, Marven is still confident that he can crush the resistance of the coalition army and conquer the whole of Gruni?
"Because you can change the situation right away. Sagas looked at Ashruphat with a look of disbelief and continued to explain.
"Redeem it immediately?" Ashruphat didn't think that the Chaos Legion would be able to turn over immediately after suffering a defeat. The defeat of a war is a multifaceted blow to an army, the casualties of soldiers, the loss of elite troops, the demoralization of soldiers, the loss of equipment, and so on. In a word, defeat will inevitably lead to a significant decline in the combat strength of the army, and may even cause a fatal blow.
According to the book, even an army with a great advantage is unexpectedly defeated by the enemy, and it basically loses its combat ability, and must rely on fortifications such as castles and camps to hold on. Those who can turn defeat into victory are famous generals.
"Because at that time, you will die. Sagas said.
