Chapter 136: Requesting Battle
Two deep gorge demon women stood there, Han Jin's face gradually darkened. If no way to lift the curse was found on these demon women, it would mean that this army would face a great storm. Why should death row inmates be kept under close guard? Because in the knowledge of certain death, they are likely to do many crazy things. Now, it is unclear how many soldiers have come into contact with the deep gorge demon women, and there is no way to screen them out in a short period of time. What will they do when they know their days are numbered? Is military discipline still useful?
The deep-sea mermaids who had been carefully observing Han Jin also began to become frightened and uneasy, wondering if this human would get angry and let them taste that terrifying smile punishment as well.
"Didn't that dark system magician say anything to you?" Han Jin asked, still unwilling to give up.
"Adults, that Pride is only interested in our bodies." A deep-sea demoness replied, and immediately she saw the cold intent shot out of Han Jin's eyes.
"You've let me down!" Han Jin said slowly.
When Han Jin said this, the Deep Abyss Demon Women suddenly became a mess. There were only a few people who could face death calmly when it came, and these Deep Abyss Demon Women couldn't.
The knights around him took a step forward in unison, the heavy rumbling sound of their footsteps on the ground was particularly solemn and murderous at this moment, and the Deep Abyss Demon Women immediately became silent.
Suddenly, one of the two deep abyssal demon women standing in front of Han Jin jumped up and pointed at a small, seemingly underage female demon who was shrinking among the group of female demons. The little demon chattered rapidly about something.
"What are you and she talking about?" Han Jin's eyebrows furrowed, this feeling of not understanding the other person's language made him very uncomfortable.
That abyssal witch hastily said: "Pride likes her very much. I'm asking what Pride and she have said to each other."
When he heard this, a glimmer of hope reignited in Han Jin's heart. He beckoned to the little demon girl and a knight immediately walked over and brought the female demon before Han Jin.
"Does Prada often look for you?" Han Jin looked at the trembling demon girl in front of him, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible.
"Also, it's not always." The little demon girl stuttered and said.
"What did he say to you?" Han Jin asked.
"Say, I've said a lot, haven't I? Which one would you like to know, sir?" The demon girl's expression looked puzzled.
Han Jin couldn't help but pause for a moment. Only then did he realize that he had been too hasty. Anyone would have trouble responding to such a question.
"That Prede. Has he mentioned anything to you about the cursed land?"
"No." The witch shook her head.
"Is there anything special around him?" Han Jin asked, and the rest of the Deep Sea Demon women also perked up their ears, knowing from Han Jin's previous words that if they couldn't find a way to lift the curse on themselves, this human would not let them off.
The little witch thought for a moment and then said, "He told me that his magic wand is made from the spine of an abyssal snake, which has some special effects."
Han Jin looked at Gwala, he knew nothing about the deep-sea creatures. What was special about the spine of this rotten snake, he had no way of knowing.
Guevara shook his head: "The staff of the earth is made from the vertebrae of a rotten snake. It can amplify some dark magic, but it has nothing to do with lifting curses."
"Is that all? Think carefully again." Han Jin asked the little demon girl once more, and pointed to the large group of deep abyss demon girls: "The lives of these companions of yours are in your hands. If you can't think of anything useful, then I don't need to say it, but you should also know what will happen to you all, right?"
The little demoness couldn't help but turn her head to look back, seeing a sea of hopeful eyes from her kin, and thus she became even more tense, furrowing her brow in deep thought.
Time is passing minute by minute, second by second, and the scene is eerily quiet. Even a needle dropping to the ground can be heard clearly. In fact, the emotions of the soldiers around are also equally tense.
For the Deep Ones' witches, failing to find a way to lift the curse means death, while for the soldiers, it's just a difference between dying sooner or later.
Han Jin didn't urge her to speak, but instead quietly looked at the young and tiny demon girl. Han Jin clearly realized that this might be the last thread of hope to lift the curse.
"He, in his room, seems to have a very large crystal." After a long time, the young and small demon girl finally spoke up.
Crystal? Han Jin was somewhat disappointed. What's the use of a big crystal? Can moving a ton of crystals lift the curse? But Han Jin didn't show any impatience, and continued to speak in a gentle tone: "Is there anything else?"
But at this time Guevara's expression changed, as if he had suddenly thought of something, and asked: "What kind of water"
"It's about this big." The little demoness gestured with her hand, "This crystal is strange, everywhere else is white, only the middle part is pink, and it seems to be flowing like **."
Upon hearing this, Che Guevara's expression became somewhat tense: "Did he ever tell you what the crystal was called?"
The little girl thought hard and said uncertainly: "It seems to be Jing, Jing something crystal, I don't remember."
"Purify crystal?"
"That's right, that's the name." The little demon girl nodded quickly.
Gewala let out a long sigh: "This dark magician is not simple, actually having something like this."
"What's this crystal for?" Han Jin looked at Gwala with a relieved expression and couldn't help but ask.
"There are many uses for purified crystals, but currently, the most useful one for us is that it can lift curses!" Guevara said with a smile.
"Really?!" Even Han Jin's calmness couldn't help but stand up all of a sudden.
"Of course it's true, we need to plan quickly, after all, we don't know when the curse will take effect."
Han Jin called the two deep abyss demon women to one side and asked them in a low voice. After thinking for a while, the two deep abyss demon women replied with a few words, Han Jin's face became even more unsightly.
Lei Zhe walked over and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
"Say what you just said again." Han Jin said with a bitter smile.
"About... several thousand people." A deep-sea mermaid said timidly.
"What several thousand people?" Lei Zhe didn't understand.
"Since we occupied Nuremberg, several thousand soldiers have had contact with them, especially in Nuremberg where the situation was most serious. They just said that at that time they were busy day and night."
Lei Zhe was stunned, and after a long while, he suddenly let out an angry roar: "Are those Military Law Squad guys idiots?! What did Lang Ning do?! I handed the entire legion over to him, and this is how he repays me?!"
The knights around them changed their faces greatly. If the two top leaders of the legion had conflicts with each other, it would have a fatal impact on the legion!
"This has nothing to do with Lang Ning, his burden is already heavy enough, where does he have the energy to care about other things? Moreover, some things are not worth investigating, these soldiers cover for each other, how could Lang Ning possibly know what happened? Just now when we came over, wasn't someone trying to spread the news?"
Lei Zhe's mouth was shut tight, his chest heaving violently.
"Why did the curse only affect those few dozen people?" Guevara suddenly interjected, "If there were really thousands of people and they all passed through the Titan Arum district, they should have been affected at the same time."
"It must be... the reason they've had contact with the Deep Ones more than once." Han Jin said slowly: "Others may not be easy to investigate, but General Paul is quite famous, even they know him."
Guevara's gaze fell on a deep-sea mermaid, who said in a low voice: "General Paul comes to find us every day, because he takes charge for us, so we can eat decent food, and we are all grateful to him."
Guevara couldn't help but sigh, this is indeed a case of heavenly retribution that can be avoided, but self-inflicted evil that cannot be lived with!
"Lei Zhe, I think we should change our plan," Han Jin said slowly.
"What should I do?"
"We don't have time to attack Rhein Castle, let's... find a way to bypass it and directly attack Black Crow Castle!" Han Jin paused for a moment: "The curse of Corrosion Touch can be triggered at any time, we must occupy Black Crow Castle as soon as possible and seize that Purification Stone
Han Jin's last few words were a bit louder, and some of the soldiers heard them. One of the soldiers stood up recklessly and shouted: "General, are we going to attack Hei Ya Castle?"
"General, let's take the lead in cursing and fight those despicable guys to the death."
Among the knights, there was one who knelt down on one knee: "Young General, give me a chance to redeem myself!"
The atmosphere was gloomy just now, but it has become turbulent. Those knights shouted and scolded, but couldn't stop them. The reason is simple: if they were cursed, they would die sooner or later. If they could capture the Black Crow Castle and seize the purification crystal, they might have a chance to lift the curse on themselves. This was their last opportunity, worth risking everything for.
"Little General!"
"General..."
The soldiers' shouts grew louder and louder, Han Jin and Lei Zhe didn't expect such a change, they were stunned for a moment before reacting. And Han Jin's face finally relaxed, he remembered a saying, "Saiweng loses his horse, who knows it's not a blessing."
Lei Zhe raised his arm, signaling the soldiers to stop their clamor. He then turned to a knight and said, "Pass on my orders: all commanders and battalion leaders are to report to my tent immediately."
"Yes, General!" The knight responded with a shout, leaped onto his warhorse and charged out of the prisoner-of-war camp.
