Heart of the Castle

Chapter 644 Too Smooth Conspiracy

Accompanied by Sir Rodriguez, who was also in black armor, the demonized knight Colson Stilwell left the Moonglade outpost camp through a movable suspension bridge composed of pulleys and hanging baskets.The night was bleak and cloudy, and less than ten steps away from the camp, it was already shrouded in darkness. However, both the Demonized Knight and the Scourge Knight had excellent night vision capabilities. For them, the darkness was even worse than that of Fran Dara's golden face was still comfortable in the empty day.

Sir Rodriguez stopped next to the corpse of a horned demon warlord who had been cut in half from head to toe. When he spoke, it seemed that the cold wind from the extreme northern ice field was whistling in his throat, "You You can go, Sir Colson Stilwell. Remember what Master Levi told you to convey to the treacherous lord Shakross. If you make a mistake, even if you hide in the eternal night kingdom of the sleeper Kuxima, I can also pull you out and let you die again."

"Yes, yes, I will tell you word for word, my lord, I will." Colson Stilwell nodded repeatedly, and hurriedly agreed.Sir Rodriguez didn't listen any further, just showed a meaningful smile, then turned and left without hesitation.

It wasn't until the series of clanging footsteps gradually faded away that the demonized knight Kersson was finally sure that the thing on his neck was actually preserved.He couldn't help closing his eyes, and expressed his sincere thanks to every god in his memory. When he opened his eyes, hatred and arrogance reappeared in the demonized knight's eyes.

"It's as kind and disgusting as it is in the legend, Levi Ston, you stupid fellow, I'm afraid you haven't imagined what a sumptuous banquet His Majesty the treacherous lord Shackles has prepared for you, right?" Cole Pine spat in the direction of the Moonglade outpost, then cursed under his breath in a mocking tone, venting his fear in this way.

"But it's also thanks to your kindness and stupidity, otherwise I wouldn't be able to keep this head... It's so strange, why was Victor Stilwell cousin thrown back with a catapult and smashed to pieces on the ground What about it? Could it be that my flattering words have played a role?" Kersson shook his head in confusion, and set off on his way home cautiously.

The distance from the wooden wall at the outpost of Moonlight Glade to the earth embankment where the demon army is stationed is only about 400 meters. However, how many demon corpses are piled up in this 400-meter distance?I am afraid that only Ku Ximu, the long sleep guide who came to harvest the soul, can understand.Kersson's footsteps staggered from time to time because he stepped on the corpses, and some of the "corpses" even made low and trembling moans, indicating that these demons were not completely dead even though they were fatally injured due to their strong physiques. through.

However, whether it is the demonized knight Corson Stilwell or the commanders and team leaders of the demon army, they will not show the slightest bit of mercy to these guys who are dying, even if it is the mercy of death that is conveniently given. strenuous.In fact, there is no room for the word "compassion" in Abyssal language. The word with the closest meaning is to express "spare ration".

Kersson walked as fast as he could. The closer he was to the embankment, the fewer corpses of demons laying on the ground. Moreover, many corpses were not hit by the elf's terrible arrows, but were killed by Killed by the supervisor team on the devil's side.Kersson walked between two piles of demon heads. The smell of rancid blood made him subconsciously hold his breath, and then he remembered that he was no longer a human being, but some kind of magical creature in a human body.

There are as many as eight such piles of demon heads, placed in a row two by two on the only way from the embankment to the battlefield.The owners of the heads were all demons who took the lead in retreating when storming the outposts of Moonglade. From the leader and team leader to the lowly cannon fodder, none of them survived the slaughter of the warlord team sent by the treacherous lord Shakross.

However, ever since Stursay, the captain of the Supervising Team—a berserker with countless pustules and sores all over his body, and then wrapped in iron chains burning Fierce—rushed to the front line in person, and fought against the sword of Marquis Osiris, the sky knight. After losing his two arms and fleeing back screaming in despair, his head became the symbol on the last pile of heads.Even the ruthless and treacherous lord Shakros was shocked by such a tragic loss, so he had to cancel the establishment of the supervisory team that slaughtered deserters, and the number of skull piles did not continue to increase.

The demonized knight felt a chill on the back of his neck. He guessed that this might be his own illusion, but he still quickened his pace and passed through the horrible corpses.

The camp of the demon army behind the embankment was pitch black, only a few commander's wheel palaces were burning with never-ending flames. On the one hand, this was to confuse the defenders of Moonglade, and on the other hand, it was also because the demon army was also fighting continuously. exhausted.The whole camp seemed very quiet, and a few little demons serving as sentinels were dozing in a corner with their wings drooping, and even Kerson didn't even know they were walking past them.

In a commander's wheel palace that looked very ordinary in appearance, Kersson saw the treacherous lord Shakros. The demon lord was talking to several of his cronies. Songdai came in, and immediately stood up from his obsidian throne, almost unable to hide the surprised expression on his face.

"Colson? Stilwell, you were able to come back from the Moonglade outpost alive?" Tildan, the captain of the treacherous lord's personal guard, Earl of Abyss Alchemy, growled and questioned, "What did you exchange for your Is this life a betrayal of His Majesty Shacklesh's plan, or is it something else?"

The demonized knight couldn't help but took a step back, his armor-protected back collided with the shield of a demon bodyguard, and let out a clang, "Your Excellency Earl Tildan, I have not betrayed any information about our army to those humans and elves. information..."

The treacherous lord Shakros waved his hand impatiently, interrupting the words of the demonized knight Kerson who was justifying himself. "Kurson, in your position, you don't know much useful information at all, so these words can be omitted. Tell me, have you met the leader of the elf camp? Is that person the Griffon Lord Li Wei? Ston?"

"Yes, the great psychedelic swamp lord, the supreme prime minister of hell, the most important minister of the abyss lord, the wise commander, and the treacherous lord Shackles, whose wisdom is as deep as the sea..."

"Be smart, Colson Stilwell, don't say these flattering words, let alone add any of your own opinions, these things will only interfere with my judgment." Shackles interrupted the demonized knight's flattery again , warned with a cold tone.

"Yes, yes." Kerson hurriedly bowed again, his head lowered below his belt, "Your insights are astonishing, Your Majesty Shakross, the commander-in-chief of the elven camp is indeed Levi Stern, the lord of the griffins. , I have seen him twice in the royal capital Fermeyer and the Holy White Rock Castle, and I can never be mistaken."

The deceitful lord Shakross raised his head and cursed silently. When he lowered his head again, Kerson couldn't help but trembled. He lowered his eyes subconsciously, not daring to meet the two burning eyes. His eyes of blood red flames looked at each other.

"Raise your head, you traitor!" Tildan, Earl of Abyss Alchemy, shouted in a rough voice.

"I'm not a traitor, but a loyal servant of His Majesty Shackles, and I have fulfilled the great mission entrusted by His Majesty Shackles!" Kersson replied calmly, his face turning pale.

"What did Levi Ston say about the letter's proposal?" The deceitful lord Shakros stopped Tildan's ready to yell with gestures, and then asked in a calm tone.

"He wrote you a reply letter, Your Majesty Sacrossroth." Coulson replied while taking out a reply letter from the breastplate. This letter has a strong elf style, and the paper is white and delicate. , and the edges are decorated with golden-green arabesques.

The demonized knight respectfully put his hands over his head and presented the letter to the treacherous lord, but Shakross seemed a little hesitant. He frowned first, and then turned to Tirdan, the Earl of Abyss Alchemy, who was beside him. wink.

Tirdan then stepped forward, but he didn't take the letter, but raised his hand towards the demonized knight, a mass of red and black light immediately hit Kerson's body, making him let out an involuntary howl of pain , and then lost control of his hands, trembling and tearing open the letter.

Of course, no magic trap was set in Levi Stern's reply. Shackles waited quietly for a full minute before his suspicion gradually dissipated. He took the reply letter from the demonized knight who collapsed on the ground.

After reading the letter, the deceitful Lord Shakros rubbed the corners of his brows thoughtfully, and muttered to himself. "Li Wei? Ston actually directly agreed to the request for peace negotiations? This is too happy to agree... The abyss is in hell, Tildan, do you think this Li Wei is so stupid that he can't see what is behind my proposal? How much is hidden, or are you smart enough to catch all the cracks in my proposal?"

"Your Majesty Shackles, if anyone says that that human kid can see through your layout, Tirdan will be the first to believe it!" The captain of the personal guard replied loudly with an angry expression.

However, the deceitful lord's face was still full of gloom. After thinking for a while, he read Li Wei's reply carefully from beginning to end, then raised his head, and said to the demonized knight who just got up from the ground.

"Colson Stilwell, tell me verbatim what you saw and heard after you entered the elf camp."

The demonized knight hastily bowed deeply again, his voice was a little hoarse due to the torture he had just suffered, but the respectful element inside was like a sponge full of water, almost flowing down. "Your Majesty Shackles, by your order, I went to the elf camp and asked to meet the leader there..."

The deceitful lord Shackles listened carefully, and interrupted the demonized knight's narration from time to time, asking for some details.The attitude of the deceitful lord is generally quite kind. However, as the questioning deepened, the tension and anxiety of the demonized knight Kerson increased with time. Fear crawled under his calm skin like countless ants. Crawling up, his breathing sometimes became rapid and sometimes stopped, and there were many dirty, black, putrid sweat beads on his forehead and cheeks.

When the long and sharp questioning finally came to an end, the treacherous lord Shakross once again fell into deep thinking. His confidantes held their breaths, as if they were afraid that even the movement of breathing would disturb His Majesty Shakross. .The demonized knight Corson Stilwell let out a deep breath, only to realize that his legs seemed to be stepping on a large ball of cotton wool, and it was almost difficult to support his body.

But no matter how he said it, he finally concealed the fact that he had bowed to the Griffin Lord and others in the outpost of the Moonlight Glade. After the tight string in his heart relaxed, the demonized knight couldn't help but start to fantasize about himself. What kind of reward can I get from the treacherous lord Shakros.

"The best reward is wealth or power? Yes, it is power! The most important thing is power! After making such a great contribution, how can I be appointed as the team leader by His Majesty Shackles? Commander of the Abyss Demon Slave Knights, although this troop has already lost half of it in the fierce battle of the past few days..."

Colson Stilwell was too absorbed in his own fantasies, so he didn't see the movements of the treacherous lord Shakros. When the demon lord finished contemplating, a stern look suddenly flashed in his eyes, and then It seemed that he waved his arm at the demonized knight very casually.

There was a dull shattering sound, and Colson Stilwell's chest was dented as if hit by a heavy hammer. The black armor with evil protection magic was no different from fragile parchment in front of the demon lord. His sternum all shattered together.

The deceitful lord Shacklesh waved his hand casually, and sent the demonized knight flying. Colson Stilwell flew in the air for a distance of about 20 meters, and slammed into the wall of the commander's wheel palace. superior.

If Kersson's body was still human, then this blow would have killed him on the spot.However, the demonized knight's vitality is indeed quite tenacious. Although his internal organs have been shattered into a ball, and purple-red blood flows from his five sense organs, he is still not completely dead, and he can even struggle to sit up half of his body.

"Gods be damned, Your Majesty Shacrosso...you...for...why?" Colson Stilwell reluctantly raised his hands to cover his chest, but the wound was so big that he couldn't stop the blood from flowing. There was a desperate expression on the face of the transformed knight, and he looked at the treacherous lord full of confusion.

There was a sincere smile on the face of the deceitful Lord Shackles, "I really hate when someone deliberately hides it from me, no matter what it is, instead of carefully distinguishing the truth from your lies, it is better to directly check your Memory." He explained while making a gesture, "Dishila." The treacherous lord called a name, and some of his cronies immediately bowed deeply, and then walked towards the demonized knight crouching in the corner past.

Due to massive blood loss, Colson Stilwell's consciousness was not very clear. In a trance, he saw a lean demon with a hunched waist coming in front of him, and then bent his body, his mouth full of fine and sharp teeth was cracked. It opened to an unbelievably huge level, as if it could swallow his entire head.

The demon knight tried to open his mouth, he wanted to beg for mercy from the treacherous lord Shakros, he wanted to tell all the things he had concealed, he wanted... But his throat could only make a slight hiss , coughing up a large pool of blood at the same time.

Suddenly there was only darkness in front of him, "That demon...can actually swallow my head..." This was the last thought of Colson Stilwell, and then the sound of the skull cracking rose before his eyes. Countless dazzling bright lights, his consciousness was then submerged into a bottomless vortex of darkness.

The Brain Trap Demon Dixila tasted the stinky brains in his mouth. The brains infested by demonic insects have always tasted extremely bad. He had known about this for a long time, but the brains of this demonized knight still made him secretly dumbfounded. The ugly features on his face were all wrinkled together.

The treacherous lord obviously didn't care about the taste of the demonized knight's brains. As soon as Dixila put down the headless corpse, Shackles' voice rang in his ears. "Tell me the truth you tasted, Dishilla."

The deceitful lord is always very calm in front of his subordinates, and never shows any expression on his face, but the brain-trapping demon Dixila has long learned how to hear emotions from Shackles' calm tone, and the deceitful lord's mind is very calm now. Restlessness, he could taste it.

"Master Shacrossroth," Dishira replied with a trembling voice. The Brain Flayer doesn't have vocal cords, and the sound made through the abdominal cavity vibration is always so unpleasant. "From this guy's brain, I tasted fear, remorse, and vicious curses, but there was not much taste of deception. What he wants to hide from you is that he groveled in the elf camp in order to save his own life. It's just flattery."

This answer obviously does not meet the conjecture of the deceitful lord, "Levi? Ston, it is simply unreasonable that he agreed to the negotiation request so simply... What kind of conspiracy does he have? No, no matter what, as long as If he came to negotiate, he has already lost..."

Shakross sprinted around the hall of the wheel palace for a few times, then made up his mind, turned around and ordered, "Tirdan, report to His Majesties Darija and Yinchen Samuel, Lord Griffin Levi Stern agreed to hold peace talks with us tomorrow, and I hope they are all ready to select their entourage to participate in the negotiations."
