Chapter 509 Chapter 473 Deadlock

On the west side of the city of Gilliat.An area has been opened up here, and all of them are strictly isolated. When Du Wei brought Hussein here, Hussein saw that there was a tall wall, and the soldiers guarding the outside all had serious faces and were fully armed. When the door opened, the first person Hussein saw was Rose! The holy knight Rose who ambushed him with his troops! ! ... Rose no longer has the holy knight armor on her body.He was wearing a white dress, but it was already stained with blood.He was tied to a post and had welts all over his body. Behind him, on the same dozens of pillars, a holy knight is tied to each pillar.

When he walked into this courtyard, Du Wei's expression became very cold, and there was something cruel flowing in his eyes. "You captured them all?" Hussein was a little surprised. "Of course!" Du Wei nodded: "After I saved you that day, I captured them all. There were 620 in total... I killed 140 of them when I captured them. Everyone broke a leg by me." Hussain was not surprised.He already knew very well that since Du Wei could defeat the angelic sphinx and save himself by himself, there was only one answer: this kid's strength is not what it used to be.

"This matter, I think you understand, cannot be made public easily. So I ordered people to capture all these bastards and keep them here secretly." Du Wei looked at the Rose who was tied to the pillar in the distance: "He should be the leader of these people, right? Do you recognize him?" "Yes." Hussein nodded. "These guys are very hard-spoken. My people have tortured them here for several days. You have been in a coma these days. More than 30 people have been tortured to death. But no one is willing to speak." Du Wei frowned. "They are holy knights." Hussein said indifferently: "They have devout beliefs and are not afraid of physical torture."

"Yes, they even went on a hunger strike." Du Wei sneered: "But I won't let these guys die easily. I have people force-fed them with food and water every day. But I wonder why they don't directly Suicide? A hunger strike is a very ineffective solution.” Hussein glanced at Du Wei: "Because they are holy knights. According to the belief of holy knights, holy knights are not allowed to commit suicide. That is a great violation of teachings. Suicide is the most cowardly manifestation. The soul after death cannot return to the embrace of the goddess. But... hunger strike is not considered suicide."

"I don't care about that, I need to ask a few answers now! First, how did they know that Longbottom and his party were protecting the princess? They must have a source of information! And it must have come from Loulan City! Second... That's why the church suddenly wanted to deal with me! I always feel that at this stage, there is no reason for the church to suddenly find me in trouble." Hussain frowned. At this moment, Rose, who was tied to the pillar, had already seen Hussein.His face was covered with blood, he barely opened his eyes, looked at Hussein, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Hussein! Kill me! You should know that we will not answer any questions!"

Du Wei narrowed his eyes, with a cruel cold light in his eyes, he walked slowly to Rose's side, looked up at Rose who was tied to the pillar: "I remember I told you, besides answering my I don't want to hear other voices from your mouth other than your question." "Hehe...hehehe..." Rose sneered, looking at Du Wei: "Duke Tulip, we are holy knights, and holy knights will not betray their beliefs!" Du Wei nodded: "I appreciate your strength. But I think it's a very stupid move to provoke me in this situation." Then he tilted his head, and said coldly to the soldiers around him: "Cut off one of their hands—everyone!"

Without the slightest hesitation, several soldiers immediately went down with butcher knives in hand. These guys were all the ones that Longbottom took with him to escape back then!During the bloody battle with these holy knights, more than half of their brothers and comrades were killed or injured. Du Wei raised his head and looked at Rose: "You should be lucky, because you are the leader. So I won't hurt you first! But you'd better think carefully before you speak next time, otherwise, the unlucky ones will be yours." subordinate!" A scream came from behind, and the right hand of a scarred holy knight tied to a pillar was chopped off!As the blood was sprinkled, the holy knight screamed and passed out directly.

The soldiers of the Tulip family around him took a look, leaned over, and tried his breathing: "My lord, he is dead." Du Wei nodded: "You know how to do it." There was a hint of hatred in the soldier's eyes, he raised his knife and chopped off the dead holy knight's head, and then carried the body down. A moment later, from the back cell, another prisoner was tied up and tied to the post. "You!" Rose's eyes burst into flames. "Do you want to scold me?" Du Wei sneered, and leaned closer: "You killed more than four hundred of my loyal subordinates! I will make you pay the price! As for cruelty... well, I don't mind being ten times more cruel !"

Then, Du Wei said coldly to the soldier: "Watch this guy closely! Unless he confesses, otherwise, if he dares to make a sound, even if he just snorts, he will cut off a finger of all his subordinates! He If you dare to say a word of nonsense, cut off another one! Until all the fingers and toes of those guys are cut off!" As he said that, Du Wei stretched out his finger, lightly tapped Rose who was tied to the pillar, and said coldly, "Before you speak next time, think carefully." Rose was biting her lip tightly, it was covered with blood, and looking at Du Wei, her eyes were about to burst into flames.

Du Wei said coldly: "Hmph, you must really want to kill me right now? You idiots, if you have the guts to provoke me, you should be prepared for it." After speaking, Du Wei stopped looking at him, but walked over with Hussein. In the innermost part of this isolation area, there are cages on both sides, holding hundreds of prisoners. Hussein's face was very indifferent when he walked here. Finally, when he came to the innermost rooms, Du Wei pointed to the room on the left: "That fat man is inside! But he is being locked up by me now because he violated my order."

When Hussein walked to the window of that room, he saw Longbottom, wrapped in bandages all over his body, lying on a hard wooden bed inside, staring blankly at the ceiling. ... "This is a correspondence between me and the Church of Light." In the innermost room, Du Wei took out a letter from the table and threw it on the table: "On the first day I came back here, I sent someone to deliver the letter." I sent a letter to the imperial capital. I have not reported this matter to the regent, but sent a letter to the imperial capital first, and sent it directly to the Temple of Light." "Why?" Hussain was puzzled. Du Wei sighed: "Hussein, because when I arrived, I was still one step late! Do you understand? On the first day I caught that guy named Rose, he proudly told me that he Before meeting us, he had already sent someone back to the Imperial Capital to deliver the letter! Do you know why he sent someone to the Imperial Capital to deliver the letter?" After a pause, Du Wei looked at Hussein: "Because of you! Because he met you! Knowing that you are still alive and under my command. For such a major discovery, he sent people back immediately Yes! It's a pity that I didn't catch those messengers. Therefore, I believe that the Church of Light has already known your whereabouts and that you are by my side." Du Wei frowned. According to his guess, this incident must have happened because the Church of Light wanted to kill the princess on the way.And in Du Wei's territory, if a princess dies - plus a princess.So no matter how much the regent trusted Du Wei, he had to punish Du Wei for both public and private purposes. Then, the relationship between Du Wei and the regent will further deteriorate. Although Du Wei couldn't figure it out, why would the Church of Light do such a thing at this time—after all, that old Pope is one of the few insiders, and he should know that in the next two years, criminals will Invasion, now is the time to maintain internal unity.But he actually did just that! Du Wei is lucky. Originally, on the other side of the temple, they felt that such a team of holy knights with strong fighting power was sent to sneak into the province of Desa secretly, led by a high-level knight like Rose, and even a holy angel like Sphinx was in charge.As for Du Wei, without any precautions, it was enough to deal with the guards escorting the princess. After all, although everyone knew that Duke Tulip had a strong man like Rodriguez under his command, according to normal practice, Du Wei would not send a holy rank strong man to do such trivial things as escorting the princess. But in the end, what I never expected was that I would meet Hussein, a holy powerhouse!As a result, Hussein dragged the Sphinx, and the situation changed. Once this matter is exposed, the way of the Temple of Light will definitely anger the Regent! Du Wei would be very happy to see the temple and the royal family turn against each other—as long as Du Wei honestly wrote a letter to the palace and handed over the captured holy knights. If the evidence is so strong, then the royal family and the temple will turn their backs! However, Du Wei can't do that now! "Because of me?" Hussain looked gloomy. "Yes, part of the reason is because of you." Du Wei admitted frankly: "You are still alive, and you are still with me. The other party has also caught us. You should know that if it is announced, you, Hussein Because, if the most wanted criminal in the mainland is under my protection, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble." Then, Du Wei pointed to the letter on the table: "Open it and have a look, this is the secret reply letter from the Pope of the Temple of Light." Hussein frowned and opened the letter, only to find that there was not a word on the letter, but a blank sheet of paper! "What does it mean?" Du Wei sneered: "His meaning is very simple: keep silent! I won't report that they tried to kill the princess, and they won't expose that I took you, the most wanted criminal on the mainland. Everyone keeps silent, so it's even." ... It seems a little unreasonable to say that.Because if the assassination of the princess by the temple is reported, the royal family will turn against the church anyway, so it is not a big reason for Du Wei to take Hussein in - anyway, it has already turned against it! Originally, Du Wei thought the same way. In his anger, he almost made the decision to openly quarrel with the church. However, at this time, an urgent letter from Philip persuaded Du Wei. "First of all, even if we report to the regent, with the character of Prince Chen, under such circumstances, will he openly turn against the temple? Maybe the two sides will turn against each other in private, but they will never go to war!! The conflict between the royal family and the temple It has been around for a long time, but the power of the temple is deeply rooted on the mainland. To eradicate a thousand-year-old religious organization must shake the foundation of the empire! Now is the troubled time. With Prince Chen as a person, he will definitely be extremely annoyed, but he will definitely be irritated afterwards. Will keep silent! Because, now, can't fight! Therefore, even if the two sides turn their backs on the matter of the princess, it will never be made public! Secondly, Hussein's matter, if the temple wants to deal with you, it will definitely be made public!Because this matter will not involve a real war!But it can get you into a lot of trouble.What's more, you don't even need to burn the fire on your body, as long as the temple asks you to hand over Hussein openly-this kind of request is reasonable, if you don't agree, then everyone in the world will think that the fault is on you! Therefore, although the matter of the princess is important and we have the handle, it is a pity that this handle is not of much use because it cannot be made public!Even if we want to make it public, the royal family will suppress it! But about Hussein, the temple can make it public. When the time comes, if you are in trouble, Hussein will be even more troublesome. " Du Wei sighed: "So, this matter is a stalemate. Whether we make it public or not, the final result is the same: everyone has nothing to do with each other."
