Ermu

Chapter 1111: To Follow Unto Death

In the billowing smoke and dust, she immediately captured the target of this operation.

Count Lorenzo.

He had obviously just been awakened from a pleasant dream, and was sitting on the edge of the bed慌慌张张putting on his pants, while the God's Punishment Warriors guarding the big bed had already drawn their short swords and pounced towards the collapsed wall.

The act of breaking through the wall obviously violated the "警戒底线" of these shells—as long as the order issued in advance was to kill any enemy who broke into the house, even if the operator lost consciousness, the God's Punishment Warriors would react automatically.

"Betty!" Zoe shouted.

"Got it," the latter followed closely behind, kneeling on one leg and cupping her hands into a bowl shape, "Come on!"

Long-term training and cooperation made the two understand each other tacitly. Zoe didn't even look back and jumped straight back—

Betty accurately caught her.

With a forceful push of her hands, Zoe used this force to leap into the air, flying over the heads of the God's Punishment Warriors like a swallow, then grabbed the chandelier of the arched dome and swayed, and in the blink of an eye, she had approached the side of the big bed.

The spacious and luxuriously furnished bedroom provided the lord with an extremely comfortable space for enjoyment, and it also became her stage for performance.

Zoe directly raised the xiàndàn gun in the air.

Time seemed to stand still.

The God's Punishment Warriors were still turning around, but obviously they couldn't keep up with her pace.

Betty, on the other hand, faced away from the big bed and struck a victory pose—this habit obviously came from the Dream World, what true men never look back at bàozhà, what sophisticated combat aesthetics… don't even think about the fact that those are all magic shadow special effects, they're fake. However, seeing that she only turned half her body and was still paying attention to the movements of the God's Punishment Warriors, Zoe was too lazy to argue with her.

As for Count Lorenzo, he looked up in horror, his eyes full of disbelief.

From the moment the first shot was fired until now, only a few dozen seconds had passed. For him, he probably never thought that the defense line formed by the God's Punishment Warriors would be so fragile.

The chandelier fell apart directly under the pull of the huge force, and burning candles flew everywhere, like twinkling fireflies.

In this firework, Zoe aimed at the target and pulled the trigger.

"Boom—"

With a loud bang, time resumed its flow.

A layer of blood mist instantly rose from the Count's body!

Dozens of steel beads fell from top to bottom, almost completely enveloping him. Under the powerful impact, he first sank, then straightened up and bounced up. When he fell again, he was twisted into a ball like a piece of rag.

And Zoe's feet followed closely, stepping on the big bed, and the battered bed frame finally couldn't bear it and collapsed with a bang, turning into a pile of broken wooden strips.

At the same time, the God's Punishment Warriors suddenly stopped moving.

"Apart from the landing not being perfect, the other movements are full marks." Betty whistled, "It would be even better if I had a pair of sunglasses."

Zoe glared at her angrily, "Collect the shells first and then talk nonsense."

"Yes, yes..." Betty shrugged, took out a small horn from her waist pocket, and put it to her mouth to blow.

That was a special tune, and it was also a fragment engraved in the memory during the transformation process of the God's Punishment Warriors—for the unowned shells, it was equivalent to activating the command.

"From now on, I am your new master." Betty cleared her throat and said word by word.

Six God's Punishment Warriors clenched their fists in front of their chests.

"But only until we return to Neverwinter. When we get to the Third Border City, you will be thrown into the storage room for everyone to choose from—if you are good-looking, you will have a chance to see the light of day again, otherwise you can only wait until you are scrapped. Of course, I think your… chances are not great." Betty joked, even though she knew that these shells would not react in any way.

The Magic Power Blood had already destroyed the original owner's self-awareness.

Zoe opened the copper door and saw many guards rushing towards the lord's bedroom at the end of the corridor, and there were also hurried footsteps upstairs and downstairs. Obviously, this short battle had completely broken the night's tranquility, and the entire castle area had entered a defensive state.

"See those guys in armor?" Betty smiled slightly, "Go kill them."

As soon as she finished speaking, the God's Punishment Warriors rushed out from behind her like beasts, holding their swords and rushing towards the guards, and in the astonished and puzzled eyes of the guards, they pierced the blades into their chests.

The castle seemed to boil.

……

With the 1st Army soldiers clearing the way and Haga's cover, Joe entered the dungeon without any trouble.

But when he saw Farina hanging on the rack, his chest still felt like it had been hit hard by a hammer, and an unspeakable pain gripped his heart tightly.

The radiant woman was now like a piece of dead wood that had been drained of all its vitality, hanging weakly on the chains.

It was difficult to see a single piece of smooth skin on her body, and横七竖八whip marks stretched from her shoulders all the way down to her legs.

The back and chest were even more重点区域of torture.

Clumps of red and swollen marks were flowing with浓水, obviously wounds formed by being burned with a branding iron and not properly treated.

And judging from the fact that the torture was still continuing, even after suffering such treatment, she did not choose to yield to Lorenzo.

Joe trembled as he walked towards her, feeling that every step was so difficult.

The accompanying soldiers reacted more quickly. They took the lead in untying the chains and releasing Farina from the rack.

"This is the person you want to save? Don't stand there愣, come and help!"

"Ah… yes…" Joe抱起Farina as if awakened from a dream and placed her flat on the草榻next to her.

The soldiers seemed to be prepared, and took out a pile of bottles and jars from their backpacks and began to give her emergency treatment—although Joe didn't know what those potions were for, judging from Farina's gradually calming breathing, they were at least effective.

While he was assisting with the bandaging, Farina suddenly发出一声shenyin and opened her eyes slightly.

"How… could it be you…" she喃喃道, "Am I dreaming?"

"No, this is not a dream, everything is over!" Joe捧着her face, his voice哽咽地replied.

"Over?" Farina paused slightly, "I understand. I'm already dead, right? That's why I see you in the dungeon…"

She slowly raised her hand and touched Joe's cheek with her扭曲fingers—Lorenzo not only pulled out her fingernails, but also broke her fingers one by one. At this moment, it was more like a枯萎branch than a hand. "I'm sorry, I couldn't let the church continue… I failed your expectations…"

"I don't care, I don't care at all—" Joe felt a热流flowing down his cheek, "And it's not your fault at all!"

"Are you comforting me? 怪… you never used to be like this," Farina咧开布满血痂的嘴唇, "No matter what, don't go away, stay with me for a while, okay?"

Joe could no longer control his tears and hugged her tightly, "I will be with you. No matter where we go, I will be by your side… even if it means death!"

"Thank you…" This was the last whisper he heard.
