After making sure the curse has been cast.
Hilde pushed the man away and ran to the side to vomit.
The man's body went limp and he fell to the ground.
"vomit……"
"Sissi, are you okay?"
Dione ran to Hilde with some concern.
"It's okay...it's just a little too hard to drink...ugh..."
"Sissi..."
It's not like Hilde hasn't drunk a man's blood before, but this guy's blood has a beastly smell, an indescribable smell. God knows what this guy eats on a daily basis. Really, Hilde felt that he had paid so much for the intelligence, and it was really hard. After spitting out the blood he just drank, Hilde raised his head and couldn't help asking, "Where are the villagers here? Why can't I see anyone?"
"They all ran away."
Dione said with some fear.
"When they saw these people coming, they ran to the back hills."
"Ah... that's good."
Hilde said this and grabbed Dione.
Her knees softened and she fell to the ground, then she hugged Dione tightly with both hands and buried her face in her chest. Hilde was so frightened by Dione that she didn't know what to say for a moment. But at this time, Hilde took a few deep breaths and said helplessly: "You really scared me to death... I thought something happened to you. Fortunately, I came back in time, otherwise... Dione, don't run around next time."
"Sorry……"
Dione couldn't help crying.
"Because I used to live here, so I..."
"Go back and tell me about this, okay?"
"Um……"
Hilde actually didn't care about Diony's background.
However, as she spent more and more time with Dione, Hilde became more and more concerned about this issue. She had long regarded this little blonde girl as her own family... Not only Hilde, but also Sofia. When Dione came here, she was only thirteen years old, and now she is only fifteen years old. In the eyes of Sofia and Hilde, Dione is their sister, a sister who needs to be taken care of, obedient and sensible.
So, when Hilde saw Dione being bullied, her anger was like someone was thinking about Sophia. Hilde, who was always calm, would only show unusual anger when someone she really cared about was threatened. This was something that ordinary people rarely saw.
"This time, you made a mistake."
Hilde said calmly.
"If you make a mistake, you must accept the punishment, do you understand?"
"Yes, I know."
"Stick out your neck."
Hilde straightened up slightly.
The tip of her nose gently slid across the girl's skin, slowly moving from her collarbone to Dione's neck. The sage-like fragrance made Hilde feel less nauseous. At the same time, the white and delicate skin was faintly red, and traces of blood vessels could be seen. Hilde's inner desire was also aroused, especially after drinking such unpalatable blood, she had to drink something delicious now to make herself feel less uncomfortable, right?
effortless.
Hilde bit it.
In this deserted village, a beautiful silver-haired girl was pinching the neck of a slightly younger blonde girl, while on the ground lay several corpses with extremely miserable looks of death.
Chapter 7: The Thracian King's Plan
"what--!!!"
As if exceeding the limits of human endurance, screams that were enough to make one's throat break came from the army tent.
The soldiers passing by felt creepy when they heard the sound, and felt uncomfortable all over. They knew that something terrible had happened in the tent. Ever since Hilde threw a Thracian in there a week ago, they could hear the guy's screams every moment.
The soldiers had no idea what terrible punishment this guy had gone through.
Anyway, it's very painful.
And in fact, Hilde was indeed interrogating.
The only difference is that Hilde did not use any means.
This "hunter" had a blood curse on him after Hilde sucked his blood. If the blood curse is not sucked for a certain period of time, withdrawal reactions will occur. Withdrawal reactions are very painful. Some people cannot bear the pain caused by withdrawal reactions and even commit suicide in very cruel ways. At the same time, Hilde has done experiments before. If the amount of blood sucked at one time is relatively large, the withdrawal reaction will take longer.
If you just take a sip, the blood curse will appear.
Withdrawal symptoms will occur the next day.
As for the "hunter" in front of him, Hilde sucked very little blood.
Therefore, this guy had withdrawal symptoms on the second day after arriving at the military camp.
The specific characteristics of the withdrawal reaction are that at first, you will feel hot all over, restless, and thirsty, and then you will be very clear that you want Hilde to suck your blood, but at this stage, you can still overcome it with reason. But then, the hotness will turn into itching, and you will scratch your skin all over your body involuntarily, and finally scratch your skin until it is rotten. Most people can no longer hold on at this stage, and will beg Hilde to suck their blood, or simply give themselves a quick death.
The third stage is the highlight.
When the blood curse of the body has reached the third stage.
People will feel extremely intense pain, as if their muscles and bones are being crushed alive. This feeling of excruciating pain will make people with weak willpower choose to commit suicide to end this extremely terrible pain. The "hunter" in front of him has persisted for seven days and survived the first and second stages. Now, what is befalling him is the most terrifying third stage.
"So, are you going to tell me or not?"
Hilde sat in front of this man, crossing his legs and looking leisurely.
Whenever Hilde finished speaking.
Starlex beside Hilde will translate immediately.
"me……"
"If you tell me, I'll make you feel better immediately."
“Ah——!!!” The intense pain came again. Now, even the “Hunter” who had been very determined could not help but beg for mercy. “I’ll tell you! I’ll tell you everything! I’ll tell you everything!”
"Isn't that enough? If you had said it at the beginning, there wouldn't be these problems."
Hilde nodded and asked Starlex to translate:
"First of all, who are you and which unit are you from?"
"My name is Bayek. I am from Thrace, from the Adlisia tribe. I am a member of the 'Hunter' unit loyal to the King of Thrace. I am a...hunter."
"It's a hunter indeed."
Hilde frowned slightly.
"Why are you here?"
"We...know that you Byzantines have entered Thrace...so, we need to determine your movements."
"...You know?"
"Yes, yes, the great King of Thrace knows everything. He had guessed it long ago... You led your troops deep into Thrace. For us, it doesn't matter even if you take away everything here... Because the great King of Thrace has already led his troops and left from another road, heading to your home, Byzantium..."
"what!"
Starlex's eyes widened involuntarily.
"Your Majesty, what he means is that the King of Thrace is planning to launch a surprise attack on Byzantium!"
"Wait a minute, don't be in a hurry."
Hilde walked up to Bayek and grabbed a handful of his hair.
"So, you tell me, the King of Thrace is leading his army to Byzantium now?"
"I, I don't know... But if you hadn't met the King of Thrace on the way here, then this would have been the case. The great King of Thrace would lead his powerful army and sweep across the Byzantine Empire... Then, he would charge directly into the city of Byzantium and kill everyone inside, regardless of gender, age or status. In that case... he would come back to deal with you, these stupid guys. You will all die here, and no one will be able to escape alive!"
Click.
Hilde broke the opponent's neck easily.
"His Majesty……"
"It seems that what the other party said is true."
Hilde was already a little puzzled.
When they arrived here, many Thracians were not clear about their attitudes, but Hilde could not ask anything. Moreover, the troops would soon arrive in Adlisia, and there must be a decent army to confront Hilde head-on, but such an army had not appeared until now. Hilde thought carefully, if the Thracian king really led his main force to Byzantium, it could only mean one thing.
"The Scythians have betrayed us."
"What!?"
"If the enemy's main force retreats, the Scythians will definitely react immediately. It will take at least a month for the Thracians to attack Byzantium from the northern border, and that's at full speed. For a month, the Scythians didn't react at all, and they were allowed to march south in a swagger." When Hilde said this, he couldn't help but reveal a grim smile on his face, "Scythians, barbarians are really unreliable."
"Your Majesty, we..."
"Don't panic."
Hilde turned around and said to Starlex:
"I've been prepared for a long time."
"what?"
"Do you think I really trust the Scythians 100%? When I went there, I could see that the king was definitely up to something. So, this time, I guessed that the other side might be planning to let us and the Thracians fight to the death, and in the end, the Scythians would reap the benefits. Bah! Daydreaming! These barbaric bastards, I will let them know the consequences of betraying me."
The decision to turn around and fight back in the second section of the seventh tune
(Regarding the update issue: You may feel that only one chapter is updated every day this month, which is not enough. Actually, I have no choice. The main reason is that another book is released this month, and the old book is still being written. So, in order to ensure quality and quantity, the goal of this book this month is only small full attendance, that is, including the more than 1 words released on the st, this month's update is words. Now there are more than monthly tickets. If this month's monthly tickets can reach , next month there will be three updates a day, and a fucking words a month!)
Tomylis is a very simple girl.
So, if there is a problem, it is basically the king's fault.
When Hilde left Scythia, the goddess Artemis told Hilde that she would return to the gods to investigate some information about Athena. She hoped to help Hilde, on the one hand because of Hilde's curse, and on the other hand, to see if Hilde could awaken Athena's power.
Therefore, at this moment, Artemis should not be in Scythia, so it is completely conceivable that Scythia would go against Artemis' wishes and do such a thing.
Hilde wasn't really angry either.
Hilde can understand this situation.
The relationship between countries is based on interests.
However, although interests are the main concern, the agreement has been signed, and if Hield still sells out his teammates like this, he really cannot accept it.
Otherwise, Hilde would not have led the army into Thrace at this time to fight the enemy to the death. Hilde did not need to do this. He just wanted the Thracians and the Scythians to consume each other, and Hilde had nothing to do with it. Therefore, this was also something Hilde could not accept. Hilde had fulfilled his obligations, but the other side did not, and instead sold out his teammates, which gave Hilde a very good excuse to settle accounts with the Scythians in the future.
And Starlex, who was standing next to Hilde, said quickly:
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Angry? I'm not angry."
"But... your smile is so scary."
Whenever Hilde's smile was very intense, it meant that someone was going to die.
Starlex knew this too well, so when he saw Hilde thinking and laughing at the same time, and her smile was sinister, even though she was beautiful, Starlex still felt a chill in his heart.
Hilde waved her hand.
"Our mission now is to deal with the Thracians. Now that we know this, let's lead the army and turn back. If nothing goes wrong, after we arrive at Byzantium, we will encounter the Thracian army that is having a very difficult time attacking the city. At that time, we can directly annihilate the enemy's main force under the city of Byzantium, and then launch a general attack and completely occupy the entire Thracian... In the Great Plains, we have an advantage over the Thracians."
"Yes!"
Hilde sounded very confident.
But in fact, Hilde was also a little panicked.
She estimated that the Thracians were still some distance away from Byzantium. Since the Thracian king was personally leading the army to exchange territory, he would definitely not waste time on the road, but would advance to the outskirts of Byzantium at the fastest speed and directly capture the capital. Therefore, Hilde felt that if she turned back now and marched at the fastest speed, it would take about fifteen to twenty days to reach the outskirts of Byzantium.
In other words.
The city of Byzantium will probably have to resist for a full ten days.
and so……
Hilde gave the task of defending the city to Sitalses.
And left behind more than 3,000 troops.
At the same time, a large number of weapons were stored in the city of Byzantium, and the civilians could pick up weapons and attack the enemy at any time. Therefore, the Thracians, who lacked heavy engineering equipment, would find their engineering plans very difficult no matter how they thought about it, and Hilde still had a lot of time. Therefore, Hilde had to cheer herself up and immediately led the troops back to Byzantium.
