Chapter 138 Captive

The captive did not make any too tenacious struggles. Every believer in Chaos is aware of the law of Chaos: the fate of the loser depends on the mood of the winner. If you fail and want to survive, the best way is to obey. Of course, many of the terrifying believers would rather die than accept the fate of failure, but since she has escaped from the battlefield, she must pay more attention to life than faith.

From her mouth, Ashu Rufate got more and more detailed things about Star Car. Although it is not guaranteed that what she said is true (after all, as an escort, this woman may not have the chance to unravel the truth), Ashu Rufate could at least confirm one thing.

That is, he must find a way to meet Xingke once. At least he must understand her mental state.

In many church books, there is a record of such a thing: those who are thrown into the arms of Chaos are not necessarily voluntarily. It is true that Chaos can confuse many people for power, glory and immortality, but it does not mean that this trick is effective every time (but it is undeniable, for the vast majority). For those who are particularly loyal and loyal, they will not be confused by these false lies. Therefore, Chaos takes a much more direct approach - to solve problems with violence. Distort and corrupt those who are determined to be thrown into the arms of Chaos with some special ritual.

Ashrufate had never seen this kind of ritual, but he had heard of it from the wizard. This ritual is the power to summon evil gods, which directly crush the victims' consciousness and turn them into servants of evil gods. It has great sequelae, but it is simple, fast and effective. As for what this sequelae is, according to a circulating saying, that is, the human spirit becomes abnormal and becomes intermittent mental illness.

According to the church's research, this violent corruption is irreversible, which means that once you are thrown into the arms of chaos, you will always be a slave to chaos.

Although I don’t know what happened to Xingke, Ashu Rufat knew that he had to meet Xingke last time. It was not a meeting on the battlefield with a sword in his hand (this kind of meeting has already happened), but a meeting in another condition and another environment.

At least, he had to make sure whether Xingke was really alive.

In black magic, there is a technique to manipulate corpses (this can be said to be the most basic application technique in black magic). It is understandable to say that Xingke was killed and turned into a puppet of some kind.

If this happens, it means that he has been deceived by the gods from the beginning. All his efforts and combat are in vain. If that is true, then...

Those gods who deceive and play with him must pay a price! Although he is just a mortal and cannot really threaten God. But as the saying goes, if you step on a toad on your instep, you can't suppress it but you can't be disgusted to death. If you want to give the gods a little disgusting, Ash Rufate still thinks it can do it.

At this time, the night was dark and the entire blood fortress calmed down.

The siege has given up using simple hook ropes to break the city, and wants to prepare for it before launching an offensive. Besides, after the previous battle, the entire army is already exhausted and takes this time to rest. The defense also knows that the strength of each other is too great, so it is inappropriate to take the initiative. Because according to the comparison of the forces of both sides, if the defenders rushed out to fight, even the casualties of ten to one would be a loss.

In a room in a camp outside the Blood Fortress, the female Chaos warrior was thrown into the room. This place was not used as a prison, so she also received the necessary "handling". Her hands and feet were shackled and fixed to a corner of the room by an iron chain. One end of the iron chain was connected to the shackles, and the other end was connected to an iron ring fixed on the stone wall. The captain's armor had long been removed and she was wearing only simple clothes. In order to prevent the believers who guarded the captains from "damaging" the captains, there was no guard left here.

The door was gently pushed open.

The female captive in the room opened her eyes. Although the previous battle and escape exhausted her, she only kept her sleeping lightly under the torture of fear - she woke up when the door was pushed open the first slit.

Then she saw someone walking in.

She opened her eyes wide and recognized the striking chaos armor on the other party. The shoulder armor part on one side of the armor was damaged, so it was easy to identify. If he was not wrong, the person coming was the enemy's general.

A huge fear surged into her heart. She knew that the other party was Tsengchi, the Chaos Lord recognized by Slaanes and Nurgre, in addition to being a clever warrior, was also a very capable wizard. This meant that Tsengchi's methods of playing with souls, Slaanes and the torture tricks, and the worst - Nurgre's terrible viruses - this Chaos Lord was probably very proficient. Her life and death were in the other party's hands - that kind of thorough mastery. Because she could not get help through means such as calling for help.

The other party came over, came to her, then squatted down, and looked at her. She barely smiled. She knew she was OK, and maybe she could satisfy her and let her go. Although the possibility was very low.

"Relax." She heard the other party's voice, which was deliberately lowered. "I didn't want to do anything to you... I even brought your Chaos Armor. I just need to do something... As long as you agree, I will release you. Then I even give you the opportunity to choose freely... Choose to join me, choose to return to Xingke's army, or choose to leave far away. Within my ability, I allow you to make free choices."

This condition was so generous that she couldn't believe her ears.

"You...you..." she stammered, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.

"Don't be so loud," the other party interrupted her bluntly. "I don't want too many people to know."

"Yes...yes...yes." She answered quickly and lowered her voice.

"I just want you to do something simple," said Ashu Rufate. "I want you to go back... to the castle and meet your mistress. Tell her that before dawn, I hope to be under the city... next to the corpse of the monster. Ask her by the way, my name is Ashu Rufate. Do she remember who I am? Well, as long as you pass the words."

"If she..."

"If she doesn't react and refuses to let you go, then you can use this thing." Ashu Rufate took out something, and anyone with discerning eyes recognized it as a messenger scroll. Such items are also very common in chaos, and almost everyone knows how to use them. "Just say it to me."

"this……"

"You did not take any danger, nor did you do anything that violates the teachings of the Blood God. In fact, you did not do anything bad." Ashe Rufate said. "As long as you do this, I promise you. Even if you can't leave, I will let you go after I conquer the castle. Do you agree to this deal?"

She nodded immediately. How could she not do such a good deal? Although she didn't understand what the Chaos Lord wanted to do, at least the other party was right. Doing so would not violate moral values ​​at all - even the Chaos Morality.

Seeing her nodding, the other party immediately took action and untie the bondage on her body one by one.

"However, in order to ensure that you will fulfill your promise, let's make a vow." Ashu Rufate pulled out a dagger from his body and handed it over, and pointed to the Blood God altar next to him - in this castle, the Blood God altar is everywhere.

She stretched out a hand, cut a scar on her hand with a knife, and dripped blood on the altar. This is a vow of blood, and it is not comparable to an ordinary vow. Because when he makes a vow, the gods will stare at the execution of the vow. In fact, even the Tsengchi believers who are proud of lying dare not make such vows easily (unless he has the ability to twist his words 100%). Because if she fails to fulfill the vow, she will become a complete loser. No matter how painful it will struggle to win glory in the future, the gods of Chaos will no longer turn their eyes to him, the humble damned, for even a moment. "I will fulfill my promise."

A short while later, the woman who had already put on Chaos Armor left behind Ash Rufate. She was discovered by sentries more than once on the way (of course, mainly Ash Rufate did not avoid them deliberately), but when they saw clearly that the person coming was their commander, they made way out. No one even asked who the woman behind Ash Rufate was.

Without considering the risks, it is actually very easy to do this as a general. After a short period of time, Ashu Rufate watched the messenger walk to the wall. His eyes could penetrate the darkness, so he could see that the thing he was most worried about - that is, the messenger was killed - did not happen.

After a short period of time, a rope was placed on the city wall. So the messenger he chose climbed the rope into the central castle.

Xingke... should be alive. It would be best if she was coerced, or she was distorted by some powerful magic. But...

In the darkness, Ash Rufate came to the side of the previous Death Tooth. The monster was completely dead, and the brutal and terrifying claws could only lie in the dust powerlessly. In fact, its huge size effectively blocked the attack of the siege. Ash Rufate began to wonder whether he should find a way to move the corpse away first, so as not to affect the future offensive.

The messenger was obviously accepted - so should. The number of defenders is insufficient now, and a Chaos Warrior is also valuable. I just don’t know how the messenger’s mission is performed.

The night was still long, and Ashu Rufate felt that he was a bit stupid to do this here. However, when he had this idea, he saw a figure jumping down from the city.
