As the night fell, the city of Pompeii added a bit of mystery to the silence, as if a giant beast was lying there, motionless, only dotted with stars.
Maybe it was because I stayed in Batross Prison for too long. Every time the Red Silk Army occupied a city, they would build a huge prison and throw all those dissidents into it. Most of them.
The underground prison in Pompeii is heavily guarded. There are guards at three steps and one sentry at five steps. There are heavily armed soldiers. There are various races among these soldiers, including humans, orcs, and even elves, but they all have one thing in common , that is, they all wear the armbands of the Red Silk Legion, and there are many patrollers who are stronger than ordinary soldiers. It is so tight that not a single mosquito can fly out.
That night, a tall figure stood at the gate of the prison.
"Open the door!"
The tall figure said in a hoarse voice.
"Yes! Master Apu!"
The soldiers of the Red Silk Legion saluted respectfully, and after a while, the heavy prison door slowly opened with the sound of the lock turning.
Apu nodded, then walked in with his head held high, and the heavy door was slowly closed again.
The prisons in Pompeii are divided into three floors. The first floor is for ordinary dissidents, the second floor is for people with certain strength but extremely important identities, and the third floor is for the most dangerous and most dangerous people. Important prisoners were even heavily restricted on the third floor of the prison.
Apu went all the way to the third floor. Even with his honorable status and high status in the Red Silk Army, he had to honestly say the password of the prison.
Apu went all the way to the end of the third prison. He stood in front of a gate and took a deep breath.
"Open here!"
"Yes, Mr. Apu!" The prison guard responded, and he took out two extremely complicated keys from his pocket, inserted them into the key holes one by one, and then slowly twisted the keys.
"Zhazaza—" With the sound of the iron chain turning, the heavy iron door slowly opened.
The guard guarding the third floor made a gesture of invitation, "Master Apu, please come in!"
Apu nodded, and walked into the most heavily guarded room in the underground prison of Pompeii.
In the empty room, there are dozens of huge iron chains vertically and vertically. On the smooth wall like a sword, there is an ancient inscription engraved, emitting a faint blue light. This is the enchantment formed by the magic circle, which is forbidden to hold The strength of the people in the room, and the entire Pompeii prison, naturally won't be ordinary people who can receive this preferential treatment.
A young man sat quietly on the ground with his eyes closed. He had been imprisoned for an unknown amount of time, and his body was filthy. His clothes seemed to be stained with blood, but they had been dried for a long time. His right hand was broken at the root, and three bowls Thick iron chains bound his hands and feet tightly like iron tongs, but the most shocking thing was that several thin iron chains passed through his body and locked on his lute bone .
Hearing the sound, the boy slowly opened his eyes, "You are here!"
"Yes, I'm here!" Apu walked up to the boy, stood still, and said in a deep voice, "Kai... have you... thought it through?"
Kay, the bloody battle against the Undercity, defeated the Iron Armored Demon Ape Apu, and the golden Beamon who frightened countless monsters in the God Realm, was imprisoned here after being defeated by Klein. Judging from the treatment he received, it seems that he is not living well. not good.
"Think about what?"
Kaimi rolled her eyes and smiled slightly.
"surrender!"
Apu's pupils shrank slightly, and he could feel the clear killing intent in the young man's eyes. The powerful and terrifying super-level monster in front of him brought back Apu's deep and unforgettable memories.
"As long as you are willing to surrender and serve the Red Silk Legion, then not only will you be free, but you can also get everything you want. You know... Now Noah Continent is under the rule of my Red Silk Legion..."
The room fell silent, and only the slight breathing of the two could be heard. It was not the first time for Kay to persuade him to surrender, but this time, he was in a rare silence.
"Why? Why do you take a fancy to me?"
Finally, Kay broke the silence, raised his head and asked.
"Because you are the most powerful monster, your joining... is of extraordinary significance to the Red Silk Army!" Apu said slowly, "We need your strength... Brother Kay!"
"Hahaha… "
When Kai heard this, he laughed out loud, and then sat up with one hand on the ground, looking up and down at Apu.
Apu frowned slightly, "What are you laughing at?"
"I laugh at your innocence!" Kay sneered, "This should not be your original intention, but your boss who asked you to persuade me, right?"
"Hehe, haven't you ever thought that if I am willing to join you, with my strength... that will take your place? My defeated opponents!"
Kai sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.
"I do not mind!"
Before Kay could finish speaking, Apu interrupted him directly.
"Oh?"
Even Kay was a little surprised by this.
"You are right. If you are willing to join us, you will replace me in a short time. As you said, I am your defeated general. I am the leader of the Warcraft Legion. No one knows those things better than me. Warcraft, for those useless qualifications, I believe that Warcraft respects the strong more!"
Apu said, his tone full of candor.
Looking at Apu's sincere eyes, Kai fell silent, lowered his head, and asked after a long time.
"Why? Haven't you already occupied the Noah continent? What use am I to you?"
"Because we have a bigger goal!" Apu took a deep breath, "That is the main plane!"
Kai was taken aback, "Main plane?"
"That's right, the main plane!" Apu nodded, and said seriously, "Once upon a time, our Red Silk Legion was one of the few major forces on the main plane, and Lord Utaris has also reached his personal level. The pinnacle of prestige in life... At that time, the Red Silk Army was in full swing!"
"I understand!"
Kai nodded, "I also know something about the Red Silk Army. After Utaris failed, he was imprisoned in Batross Prison. He came out this time to make a comeback..."
Kai pointed at himself, smiled and said, "He asked you to come... just to trick me into becoming the cannon fodder for him to conquer the main plane?"
"Please don't use the word cannon fodder!"
Apu's face was a bit ugly, "You are loyal to Master Utaris, and you can share his glory - Master Utaris will never treat a meritorious subordinate badly!"
"He is a born leader, a proud sky dragon, the king of all monsters!" Apu said excitedly, waving his hands.
"Kay, don't think about it, you will be loyal to Lord Utaris, and you will get everything you want, including power. In addition, I can swear that I have no selfishness towards you. You are young and stronger than me... and have potential Bigger...you are strong...you should have the strength and status commensurate with you!"
Kai fell silent, he lowered his head again, and the room became silent again, so quiet that even a needle could be heard falling to the ground.
"Is he thinking about it?"
Apu looked at Kai who was in deep thought, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.
"I reject!"
After some thinking, Kay finally raised his head again, and there was no hesitation in his gaze.
"what?"
Apu was taken aback, as if he couldn't believe his ears.
"I have to say... The conditions you proposed are very attractive to me, but I still choose to refuse... Compared with those so-called glory... I have something I always want to protect! As for Utaris... no matter how powerful he is, whether he is a divine beast or a magical beast , it has nothing to do with me..."
Kai laughed, at this moment, he smiled like an innocent child, "Okay, you go, I don't think you need to come again, no matter what you say, I will never change my mind!"
"asshole!"
Anger suddenly rose in Apu's heart, and he cursed loudly, "Kay... don't toast or eat fine wine, if Master Klein hadn't taken a fancy to your strength and potential, would I need to spend so much trouble?" ?”
"You finally said it!" Kay smiled, "Klein...is the necromancer who defeated me, right? The divine power he used...doesn't seem to be his own power..."
"Hehe, whatever you say! Lord Klein's strength is useless!" Apu laughed back angrily. He realized that he had lost his composure and quickly calmed down.
At this time, Apu pointed at the top, and said with a sneer, "Kay, the thing you said you always wanted to protect...is the mother and daughter who were locked up above? Am I wrong?"
"what?"
Hearing Kai's trembling all over here, he suddenly became furious, "Bastard, what do you want to do? If you dare to touch a hair on them, I will kill you, even if it is the Red Silk Army... I will kill one by one. , until you are all killed!"
Kai stood up with a "shua-" sound, the iron chains shaking all over his body made a "crash--" sound, the remaining strength aroused his muscles, and his fists gradually clenched.
Apu hit the most painful part of his heart this time, and Kay was really angry all of a sudden.
"It's a little too early for you to say these words, go out and talk if you have the ability!"
Looking at Kay's murderous eyes, Apu felt a little apprehensive, he forced himself to calm down, "I'm leaving, tomorrow morning... I will send you their heads! I hope you will like this gift … Hahaha!"
"Bastard, stop for me!"
"Boom—" the iron door closed, and Apu turned and walked out, leaving only Kai's angry roar...
Walking out of the underground prison, Apu let out a long breath of turbid air. He collected himself, and then walked towards the largest building in Pompeii—the palace of the former Kingdom of New Ebia...
