Gray Rat Legion camped next to a dry river bed. They needed to rest after marching for a long time.
They erected a rough wooden execution platform in the center. It was actually just a high platform made of several wooden boards, with a crossbar on it and two rough hemp ropes hanging on it.
They decided to execute these two guys now!
They pressed Philip and Hilda onto the stage and prepared to hang them to death.
'Didn't you mean tonight?'
'Don't these barbarians even know how to keep time?'
Philip is speechless, forget about the execution, even the time must be advanced.
'Mader barbarians!'
Philip We have no choice but to stabilize them first and see if we can get a chance to survive.
He was escorted to the stage and suddenly spoke in fluent Kadera dialect.
"Wait! We are not spies! We are the Advanced nobles of the Asura Kingdom! We are valuable! We can provide you with intelligence! About the military deployment of the Asura Kingdom!"
He learned this from the southern businessman who he had received when he was still at Roa. Now that he thinks about it, it is true that he learned it!
Philip's words attracted the attention of this group of wild dogs.
The soldiers were stunned for a moment, and the crowd parted to both sides. A mercenary captain with a scarred face walked out, narrowed his eyes, and looked Philip up and down.
"...Asura? That rich country in the north? How do you prove it?"
The Scarface mercenary stopped the soldiers' movements and gave Philip time to speak.
Asura Kingdom is one of the few big countries in the world, and it is definitely not comparable to small countries like them.
Seeing that the other party became interested, Philip's heart beat wildly, but the smile on his face remained calm and he responded calmly.
"We are the Advanced nobles of the Asura Kingdom, members of House Boreas. I am Philip·Boreas·Greyrat!"
"The current master of House Boreas is the younger brother of James·Boreas·Greyrat. His father is Sauros·Boreas·Greyrat!"
"We can give you a large sum of gold coins and Treasure as a reward for freeing us!"
"I think you all know something about House Boreas's wealth. Countless jewelry, weapons and equipment, Magic materials... everything you want!"
The scar-faced mercenary was obviously a little moved. Judging from the clothes of the other party, he was indeed a noble.
"Are you telling the truth?"
"Of course it's true! You can definitely go and ask about it."
Philip nodded quickly. He couldn't miss this opportunity. The other party was obviously moved. Next, as long as he used more intense words to stimulate him and arouse his desire, the negotiation would be considered a success.
"That's good!"
The Scarface mercenary planned to keep them for now and let his men confirm their identities, and then make plans.
"Enough!"
The cold voice interrupted Scarface, and a man wearing black armor walked out of the tent. There was a silver mouse on the epaulette. That was the leader of the Gray Rat Legion.
"How boring, northern noble? Appearing on the battlefield at this time? Whether you are a spy or not, your life is not worth a copper coin."
"And you Asura nobles are notoriously cruel. You can't let us go. It would be a mistake to let you go back!"
"I can only rest assured if you die here."
"Execution!"
The leader of the Gray Rat Legion saw through Philip's trick at a glance. He knew that once they were released, they would be greeted by Asura's army!
'Fuck fuck fuck!'
'A smart man among a bunch of fools!'
'What to do, what to do? This guy is determined to kill us!'
Philip's heart fell into deep despair. The other party's will could not be shaken. For such a cold-blooded person, no conditions could move him.
Seeing the commander's words, the soldiers did not hesitate and immediately prepared to execute the two men.
And when Hilda was dragged onto the stage, she suddenly broke free from the soldier's hand.
With her red hair flying, she slapped a soldier in the face who tried to pull her away, and her nails left four bloody marks on his face.
"Don't touch me! I'm Hilda·Boreas·Greyrat! I'll go up myself!"
Hilda broke away from the soldiers and walked towards the execution platform step by step.
As a member of House Boreas, you must live like a noble even if you die!
Hilda shocked the soldiers present for a moment. No one moved, and she walked to the execution platform by herself.
"Interesting woman, how about it? If you are willing to follow me, I will spare your life!"
The leader of the Gray Rat Legion looked at Hilda's delicate face, expecting her to give the correct answer.
What happened was contrary to expectations, and all he received in response was Hilda's angry eyes.
"Rejected?"
The leader of the Gray Rat Legion shrugged and sneered.
"In that case, boys! Let this woman die a happy death! After that, the body will be handled by you. You can do whatever you want. Don't kill this man yet, let him enjoy it for a while before he goes on his way."
The birth-like words aroused the soldiers like wild dogs. They licked their mouths and looked at Hilda hungrily, wanting to strip her naked and enjoy her.
The scar-faced mercenary even drooled. Such a decent woman is also a noble of Asura. It's so cool!
"Born!"
Hilda's eyes gradually became desperate. She had already thought about what would happen to her after death. She looked at the hanging rope above and hesitated to step forward.
If you go forward, you will die, if you go backward, you will die, and life may even be worse than death!
She has no choice!
"Hahaha, is this really okay, leader?"
The scar-faced mercenary captain looked at the captain, the lewd expression on his face couldn't help but show up.
"I told you to do whatever you want, and I won't regret it!"
The leader of the Gray Rat Legion gave him a cold look, and the scar-faced mercenary captain softened in fear on the spot.
"You mad!"
Philip couldn't help it at this moment, he was ready to fight with these guys!
But it was all in vain. The soldiers laughed even more happily. There was nothing more exciting than the prisoner in front of him!
Then give her wife a few more times in front of him!
"What's wrong, you muster up the courage but still can't take the last step? Your so-called noble dignity is nothing more than this!"
The leader of the Gray Rat Legion looked at her teasingly, as if she was looking at a toy that would please him to the fullest.
'Despair tastes wonderful!'
'I set out on this path just to taste the despair of others. This time's despair is so delicious. It's not in vain for all my years of killing!'
"Jie Jie Jie!"
The group leader couldn't help laughing, but to the ears of Philip and Hilda, this sound was like the sneer of a devil.
"Drag her up. You can't help but want to taste this delicious dessert, right?"
The regiment leader looked at the soldiers who were about to move with a ferocious expression.
With the permission of the regiment commander, the soldiers who could no longer suppress themselves put Hilda's head into the rope.
The moment the rope cut into Hilda's neck, a gray figure struck into the crowd like thunder, cut off the rope, and caught Hilda, who had lost support, in a princess hug.
"I'm not late, am I, Hilda?"
