Chapter 50: Sahudin's Secret Technique
Chapter 50: Sahudin's Secret Technique
Under the command of Edmund, Mac, and Nedik, tens of thousands of troops began to encircle the enemy.
The infantry advanced from the front, while archers and pikemen flanked them from both sides, quickly dividing the thousands of corrupted into several isolated groups.
The attack then turned into suppression.
The Grant dynasty has been established for a thousand years, and the capital city still has a rich history.
In order to quickly suppress and capture these corrupt individuals, Li Ang issued a royal decree to retrieve many magical items from the palace armory!
The garrison's strongmen hurled heavy magic-suppressing shackles, and the rune-engraved dark iron shackles crashed into the enemy ranks.
The binding chains followed him like a shadow, automatically wrapping and tightening to suppress his power;
The piercing shackles thrown by the criminal convicts, with barbs, embedded deeply into the flesh of the corrupt.
Although the corrupted are highly regenerative and impervious to swords and blades, they find it difficult to break free from this tactic designed specifically to restrain them.
Their claws could not tear through the iron chain net, and their charge was blocked by the shield array.
In any case, the toxins carried by the corruptors have lost their infectious effect, like a tiger with its teeth "pulled out".
Lattimore, who had remained conscious throughout, roared angrily, "What's going on?"
"We were blessed by the God of Blood and Skull. The toxin we carry could infect forever, so how could it be blocked? How could there be an antidote in this world?"
Lattimore said in disbelief.
Edmund personally led the Ash Knights to meet the challenge.
After hundreds of rounds of fierce fighting, more than thirty knights forcibly surrounded him with a shield formation. Edmund seized the opportunity to strike him hard in the back of the knee, pinning him to the ground.
Various forms of suppression immediately followed: runic anti-magic nails pierced his shoulders and palms, cursed steel cables were inserted into his torso, triple dark iron neck shackles were fastened around his neck, and a suppressive magic array forced his head to slam into the ground.
Just in case, the garrison brought over a massive steel block weighing tens of thousands of kilograms and used forbidden chains mixed with mithril to secure him firmly.
Iron Mountain crashed to the ground with a deafening boom, and Lattimore's ferocious aura was finally extinguished.
About half an hour later, the battle was completely over.
All the corruptors were captured on the spot!
None of the Ash Knights died in battle, but most of them were seriously injured.
The court warriors lost most of their men in this battle, and many were seriously injured.
The garrison corps and the criminal corps each suffered a reduction of around three to four thousand men.
Now, all these corrupt individuals have been thrown into Wolf Fang Prison.
Inside Wolf Fang Prison, specially designed areas and cells have been set up to imprison these unkillable "Corruptors"!
Li Ang's expression was grim: "Damn it! That bastard Kalochi, he sided with the evil god's cult and actually caused me such great losses in the capital!"
Edmund, Mack, and the others bowed their heads in shame: "Your Majesty, we are utterly useless!"
Li Ang waved his hand, not blaming them: "It's not your fault! This time, the Evil God Cult is completely different from the Corruption Cult! The Corruption Cult doesn't focus on killing and fear! But this time, it's clearly extremely lethal, and that damned infectious effect caused us to lose hundreds of elite court warriors!"
Fortunately, last time, I obtained the "tainted relic" - the Rotten Feast Vessel - from Sahudin, the "Weaver" of the Corruption Cult; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!
"Your Majesty, what should we do with these corrupt individuals? Should we immediately throw oil into their homes and burn them all to ashes?"
"Manager Mike asked."
These corrupted beings are extremely difficult to deal with after their mutation. Ordinary swords and blades can kill them, and even if their limbs are severed, they can immediately regenerate, and half of their bodies can also reappear.
Currently, the most reliable method is to burn it with flames, turning it into powder and ash!
Li Ang pondered for a moment: "They've all been captured; there's no rush to burn them to ashes!"
"Now, the only sane corruptor, Lattimore, needs to be pried open and extracted as much useful information as possible!"
Li Ang gave instructions to Steward Mike.
Steward Mike was immediately troubled. Was his unique method of torture based on the enemy or on "human beings"?
In theory, the corrupted and mutated "Lattimore" has lost all senses, feels no pain, feels no fear, and can regenerate its limbs even if they are cut off!
Even if you cut off someone's head, another one will just pop up!
Even if all the hundreds of instruments of torture in the palace were used in turn, Lattimore would not be afraid!
Chief Steward Mac was extremely troubled: "Your Majesty, this Lattimore is a real pain! He's transcended the realm of humanity! I'd like to interrogate him, but I doubt I'll get anything out of him!"
After thinking for a moment, Li Ang realized that, just as Manager Mike had said, Lattimore would definitely need some special methods to get anything out of him.
Suddenly, a person came to mind for Li Ang.
"By the way, we can have Sahudin come and interrogate him! Sahudin is from the Corruption Cult! He might have some unique methods?"
Upon realizing this, Li Ang immediately summoned Sahudin.
After being summoned and hearing Li Ang's request, Sahudin immediately patted his chest and said, "Your Majesty, you were absolutely right to find me!"
"I would be more than happy to serve Your Majesty!"
Sahudin was a coward who wanted to do good for Li Ang and get a pardon. Now that he had the opportunity to do so, he was naturally eager to take it.
"Duke Kaloch of the Southern Territory belongs to a different sect than our Corruption Cult! That sect is called the Bloodskull Cult, and they worship the evil god of fear and slaughter—the Bloodskull God!"
"This sect is extremely annoying; they constantly compete with us for believers! Your Holiness, more than twenty years ago, you began researching methods to target this Blood-Skull God and invented some secret techniques!"
"I'm afraid of those guys; they know what's what!"
Sahudin said this with great confidence.
............
The interrogation room was dimly lit, filled with the smell of rust and mildew.
Lattimore was chained to an obsidian prison seat, his head bowed, only the two crimson dots in his eyes still visible.
Sahudin approached unhurriedly: "Brutal barbarians of the Bloodskull, the God of the Bloodskull bestows upon his followers a body 'without pain or fear'! That's useless against me!"
As Sahudin spoke, he released some hyphae, and those tiny, flocculent things began to wriggle, burrowing into Lattimore's flesh like living things, spreading along the blood vessels into his skull.
Lattimore's body suddenly stiffened, and the chains rattled.
It wasn't pain—he had long since lost the ability to feel pain—but a deeper, terrifying sense of being stripped away, a feeling of consciousness being invaded by a foreign object.
"Can you feel it?" Sahudin sneered.
"It's searching for your memories... peeling away the layers of those secrets you swore to protect, letting them grow wildly in your own mind."
Lattimore began to tremble: "You're a member of the Corruption Cult! And a high-ranking clergyman of at least the rank of 'Webweaver'? Aren't you part of the Western Rebels? How could you be helping the King?"
Lattimore was puzzled. The Corruption Cult was also an enemy of Leon, so why would they help Leon?
Sahuddin offered no explanation and continued to exert his arcane influence!
Then, Lattimore couldn't help but reveal all the secrets.
