GOR Chapter 473 Stalemate
In the west side of Anglia City … An area had been opened up here and everything was tightly isolated.
When Du Wei led Hussain to the area, Hussain saw a tall wall. The soldiers standing guard outside had solemn expressions on their faces and were fully armed.
When the gate was opened, the first person Hussain saw was Lochet!
The God Paladin Lochet who led his men to ambush him!
•
At present, Lochet was no longer wearing Paladin Lochet's armour. He was wearing white clothes, but they were already stained with blood. He was tied to a pillar and whip marks covered his body.
Behind him were tens of similar pillars, each of which had a God Paladin tied to it.
When he walked into the yard, Duwei's expression became very cold, and there was something cruel flowing in his eyes.
"You captured all of them?" Hussain was surprised.
"Of course!" Du Wei nodded his head. "After saving you that day, I captured all of them. A total of 620 of them … … when I captured them, I killed 140 of them. As for the rest, I broke one of their legs. "
Hussain was not surprised by that. Since Du Wei could single-handedly defeat the Angel Sphinx and save him, there could only be one answer: This kid's strength is no longer what it used to be.
"I'm sure you understand that this matter can't be made public easily. Thus, I had my men capture all of these bastards and secretly lock them up here, "Du Wei looked at Lochet who was tied to a pillar in the distance." He should be the leader of these people, right? You recognize him? "
"I recognize him," Hussain nodded his head.
"These fellows are very stubborn. My men have been torturing them for a few days now. You have been unconscious for the past few days. Over 30 of them have been tortured to death. But no one is willing to speak. "Du Wei frowned.
"They are God Paladin," Hussain said calmly. "They have devout faith 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 so easily. I'll force feed them food and water every day. But what I find strange is, why didn't they just commit suicide? Fasting is a very ineffective method. "
Hussain glanced at Du Wei. "Because they are God Paladin. According to the belief of God Paladin, God Paladin was not allowed to commit suicide. That was a great violation of the doctrine. Committing suicide was the embodiment of cowardice. After death, the soul could not return to the embrace of the goddess. However … a hunger strike is not considered suicide. "
"I don't care about that. I need to get some answers right now! First, how did they know that Longbottom and his men were protecting the princess? They must have a source of information! And it must have come from Loulan City! Second … why did the church suddenly want to deal with me? I have always felt that at this stage, the church has no reason to suddenly cause trouble for me. "
Hussain frowned.
At this time, Lochet, who was tied to the pillar, saw Hussain. His face was covered in blood. Barely opening his eyes, he looked at Hussain and shouted in a hoarse voice. "Hussain! Kill me! You should know that we won't answer any questions! "
Du Wei narrowed his eyes. His eyes flashed with a cruel cold light. He slowly walked to Lochet's side and looked up at the man tied to the pillar. "I remember I told you that other than answering my questions, I don't want to hear any other sound from your mouth."
"Hehe … hehehehe …" Lochet sneered and looked at Du Wei. "Duke of the Tulip Family, we are God Paladin. God Paladin will not betray his faith!"
Du Wei nodded. "I admire your strength. But I think that under these circumstances, angering me is a very stupid move. "
Then he tilted his head and coldly said to the soldiers beside him. "Cut off one of their hands – each of them!"
Without any hesitation, the soldiers immediately went down with their butcher's knives.
These guys were all the people that Longbottom brought back to escape! During the bloody battle with Paladin, they lost more than half of their brothers and comrades.
Du Wei raised his head and looked at Lochet. "You should be lucky because you are the leader. So I won't hurt you first! But you better think carefully before you open your mouth next time. Otherwise, the unlucky ones will be your subordinates! "
A blood-curdling scream came from behind. The right hand of a Holy Knight who was tied to a pillar was chopped off! Blood splattered everywhere. The God Paladin screamed and fainted.
The Tulip Family soldier at the side glanced at him and went over to check his breathing. "Sir, he is dead."
Du Wei nodded. "You know what to do."
A trace of hatred appeared in the soldier's eyes. He raised his knife and cut off the dead Paladin's head. Then he carried the corpse away.
A moment later, another captive was brought in from the back of the cell and tied to the pillar.
"You!" Lochet's eyes were spitting fire.
"You want to scold me?" Du Wei sneered and moved closer. "You killed more than 400 of my loyal subordinates! I will make you pay the price! As for the cruelty … hmph, I don't mind being ten times crueler! "
Then, Du Wei coldly said to the soldier. "Keep an eye on this guy! Unless he confesses, if he dares to make a sound, even if it is a snort, cut off a finger of all his subordinates! If he dares to utter a word of nonsense, cut off another finger! Until all the fingers and toes of those guys have been cut off! "
After saying that, Du Wei stretched out his finger and gently pointed at Lochet who was tied to the pillar. He coldly said. "Next time, think carefully before you speak."
Lochet bit his lips, which were full of blood. He looked at Du Wei with eyes that were about to spit fire.
Du Wei coldly said. "Hmph, you must want to kill me now, right? Idiot, if you have the guts to provoke me, you should have been prepared. "
After saying that, Du Wei no longer looked at him. Instead, he walked over with Hussain.
In the innermost part of this isolated area, there were cages on both sides. Hundreds of captives were imprisoned.
When passing through here, Hussain's face was very cold.
Finally, when they came to the innermost room, Du Wei pointed to the room on the left. "That damn fatty is in there! However, he is currently being confined by me because he disobeyed my orders. "
Hossein walked to the window of the room and saw Longbottom lying on a hard wooden bed. Longbottom's entire body was wrapped in bandages as he stared blankly at the ceiling.
•
"This is the correspondence between me and the Radiant Church." In the innermost room, Du Wei took out a letter from the table and threw it on the table. "The first day I came back here, I sent a letter to the capital. I haven't reported this matter to the Regent yet. Instead, I sent a letter to the capital directly to the Radiant Shrines. "
"Why?" Hussain didn't understand.
Du Wei sighed. "Hussain, because when I arrived, I was still a step too late! Do you understand? That guy named Lochet, on the first day I caught him, proudly told me that he had already sent someone back to the Imperial Capital to deliver a message before he met us! Do you know why he sent a letter to the capital? "
After a pause, Du Wei looked at Hussain. "Because of you! Because he met you! He knew that you were still alive and under my command. With such a big discovery, he immediately sent people back! Unfortunately, I wasn't able to catch those who sent the letter. So, I believe that the Radiant Church already knows your whereabouts and that you are by my side. "
Du Wei frowned.
According to his guess, this matter must have happened because the Radiant Church wanted to kill the princess on the road. And in Du Wei's territory, if a princess died, then there was also a princess. Then, no matter how much the Regent trusted Du Wei, whether it was for public or private reasons, he would have to punish Du Wei.
Then, the relationship between Du Wei and the Regent would further deteriorate.
Du Wei couldn't figure out why the Radiant Church would do such a thing at this time. After all, that old man Pope should be one of the few insiders. He should know that in the next two years, the sinners will invade. Now is the time to maintain internal unity. But he actually did it!
Du Wei was lucky.
Originally, the Shrines thought that they would send a team of Paladin with strong fighting power to secretly infiltrate the Desa Province. They would also have a high-level Knight like Lochet leading the team and a Saint level angel like the Sphinx to hold the line. As for Du Wei's side, without any precautions, it was more than enough to deal with the guards escorting the princess.
After all, although everyone knew that the Duke of the Tulip Family had a strong fighter like Rodriguez, according to normal practice, Du Wei wouldn't send a Saint level fighter to do something as trivial as escorting the princess.
But in the end, they never expected to encounter a Saint level fighter like Hussain! In the end, Hussain stalled the Sphinx, causing the situation to change.
Once this matter was exposed, the Radiant Shrines' actions would inevitably anger the Regent!
Du Wei was very happy to see the Shrines and the Royal Family fall out. As long as Du Wei honestly wrote a letter to the Royal Palace about this matter, and at the same time handed over the captured Paladin.
With irrefutable evidence, then the Royal Family and the Shrines would fall out!
However, Du Wei couldn't do that now!
"Because of me?" Hussain's face was gloomy.
"Yes, part of the reason is because of you." Du Wei frankly admitted: "You are still alive and with me. The other side also has a hold on us. You should know that once it is announced that you, Hussain, the continent's most wanted criminal, are under my protection, then it will cause a lot of trouble. "
Then, Du Wei pointed to the letter on the table: "Open it and take a look. This is a secret reply from the Radiant Shrines, the Pope."
Hussain frowned and opened the letter, only to find that there was not a single word on it. It was just a blank piece of paper!
"What does this mean?"
Du Wei smiled coldly: "His meaning is very simple: Keep quiet! I won't report them for trying to kill the princess, and they won't expose me for sheltering you, the continent's most wanted criminal. If everyone keeps quiet, then we're even. "
•
This doesn't seem to make sense. Because once the Temple's assassination attempt on the princess is exposed, the royal family will fall out with the Church anyway. If that's the case, then Du Wei's sheltering of Hussein won't be a big deal. After all, the Church has already fallen out with the Church!
Originally, Du Wei also thought the same. In his anger, he almost made the decision to publicly go against the church.
But at this time, an urgent letter from Philip convinced Du Wei.
"First of all, even if we report this to the Regent, with Prince Son's character, would he publicly go against the Shrines? Perhaps the two sides will fall out in private, but there will never be a war!! The conflict between the royal family and the Shrines has been going on for a long time, but the influence of the Shrines is deeply rooted in the continent. Eradicating a millennia-old religious organization is bound to shake the foundation of the empire! Now is a time of trouble, and with Prince Son's character, he will definitely be extremely angry, but he will definitely keep quiet after the incident! Because now is not the time to fight!
Therefore, even if the two sides fall out, the matter of the princess will never be made public!
Secondly, if the Shrines want to deal with Hussain, they will definitely make it public! Because this matter won't involve a real war! But it will bring you a lot of trouble. Moreover, the Shrines don't even need to burn you down. All they need to do is to openly ask you to hand over Hussain. This kind of request is reasonable. If you don't agree, then everyone will think it's your fault!
So, although the princess's matter is important and we have a handle on it, but unfortunately, this handle is not very useful because it can't be made public! Even if we want to make it public, the royal family will suppress it!
But the matter of Hussain can be made public by the Shrines. When the time comes, you will be in trouble, and Hussain will be in even more trouble. "
Du Wei sighed: "So, this matter is a stalemate. Whether we make it public or not, the end result will be the same: no one can do anything to the other."
