HCB Chapter 219: Beatrix's "Self-blame"
Chapter 219: Beatrix's "Self-blame"
"Youngster, there must be some misunderstanding here."
"Human, come back with me. I forgive you for your rudeness towards me before."
Not only Connors, but even Giss began to win over Miss.
He finally understood what Connors meant by making amends.
Whoever can win over this mysterious young man will get the credit.
The civilians who saw this scene were all frightened.
They who had previously refused to surrender but would rather die than surrender, now all said, “No…”
The little boy also hurriedly dissuaded him, "Big brother, they are bad people, don't do it."
Seeing that Miss didn't nod for a long time, Gis glared at the civilians and said, "Don't waste your time talking to him. Just take him back, okay?"
Connors grabbed him and said, "Young man, you can ask for anything you want. I can personally take you to see the Lord Red Dragon King."
Mith pulled the little boy behind him, "Really?"
Gis answered Miss's question before Connors did. "Of course, I will personally kill those who are chasing you. I can also take you to see the Lord Red Dragon King in person."
Before Miss could answer, someone could no longer sit still.
"None of you can take him away!"
The sudden sound startled Gis and he looked back.
Behind the team, a silver-haired woman walked slowly.
The moment he saw the woman, Gis became excited and completely forgot about the injuries on his body.
"Connors, it's Sylph. She's finally here. Hurry up, your props can finally come in handy!"
Sylph was approaching step by step. All the members of the rebel team turned pale under the pressure of the Dragon King's momentum and retreated one after another.
The civilians, who were stunned and pale with astonishment a second ago, could no longer suppress their excitement and cheered when they saw the Dragon King in person.
Gis grabbed Connors by the collar and said, "Connors, what are you waiting for? Do it!"
Connors shook his head. "It's too late."
Gis' eyes widened, his face full of confusion, "What do you mean?"
Suddenly, he turned around and looked towards the direction of Dragon City, and saw many dragon warriors rushing out of the city.
"Shuriel? Why is this old guy here?"
Shurel appeared with the Dragon King's personal guards, and Bitlei appeared with the Dragon City Guards, forming a double team with Sylph.
"Gis, we have been wasted too much time by this young priest. Their support has arrived."
"So fast?"
Connors angrily scolded Giss, "This is all your subordinates' fault. If they weren't so stupid, we would definitely be able to complete our mission!"
Gisborne was already injured, and now he was furious, making his condition even worse. "Damn those idiots!"
The rebel squad is not large in number, but its members are the elite among the elite.
Located in a shelter with too many civilians, Sylph did not dare to fight with all her might.
In the end, Giss was seriously injured and on the verge of death, and was rescued by the high priest Connors. All the remaining rebels were killed on the spot.
From the moment they attacked the civilians, Sylph would not accept their surrender.
After the rebels were wiped out, the civilians in the shelter were indeed safe, but Mis was a little embarrassed.
"Hey, hey, hey, be gentle, aren't we friendly forces?"
"Sylph, say something!"
"..."
Knowing he had nowhere to escape, he was taken back to the city by the Dragon City Guards.
Shurel looked at Miss being taken away, puzzled.
"Isn't this guy imprisoned in the dungeon? How come he appeared behind Dragon City?"
Sylph turned her gaze to Beatrice, who scratched her head.
“Okay, I admit that I hired the wrong person and he escaped.
I had already locked up the guard who was guarding him at the time.
I will keep a close watch on him this time and will not let this cunning human escape again."
Seeing that Beatrix took the initiative to admit her mistake and had a positive attitude, Sylph didn't say anything more.
After returning to the main city, Sylph and two of her confidants reviewed the attack on the shelter.
In the main city area, Shuriel encountered some rebels who were preparing to sneak into the main city.
After annihilating this small group of rebels, she learned their purpose.
The Red Dragon King got the news from somewhere and learned that Sylvia had returned to Sky Island and was being promoted.
The reason why Giss made such a fuss at the shelter was to lure out Sylph.
Then the rebels sneaked into the main city to find Sylvia's whereabouts and kidnapped Sylvia who was being promoted.
Gis and the others didn't know that Sylph was not in the main city at the time, so they didn't dare to rashly bring all their subordinates into the main city.
Sylph could actually guess the purpose of the rebels' action. What she didn't understand was why the rebels could appear out of nowhere in such an important place behind Dragon City.
No matter how small the rebel group is, it is impossible for them to sneak all the way to the rear of the main city under the noses of the Dragon City Guards.
In response to this, the Dragon City Guards' commander, Bitlei, explained that the rebels might have used some kind of prop that could conceal everyone's breath.
After all, with the top prop master, High Priest Connors, here, it is not surprising that he would come up with such props.
The reason why Giss, who was on the verge of death, was able to escape death this time was thanks to the props of High Priest Connors.
"I am not as good as Lady Sylph. I don't want to make excuses. I failed to find the traces of the rebels. It was my fault. Please punish me, Lady Sylph. I am willing to pay for the lives of the civilians who died."
Beatrix had a look of regret on her face, half-kneeling in front of Sylph, and every move she made exuded self-blame and a determination to die.
Shu Ruier couldn't help but tapped Beatrice on the head. "Hey, you weren't so careless when you were a child. What's wrong with you recently?"
Sylph sighed, "It's not all Beatrice's fault. Connors's tools are really powerful."
After being helped up by the Dragon King himself, Beatrix burst into tears and sobbed.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm so useless...
If Lady Sylph had not appeared in time and stopped Giss, more civilians would have died because of my stupidity.
Damn it!
Seeing her best friend blaming herself like this, Sylph's face was filled with only heartache.
"Lady Sylph, I heard from the people in the shelter that the young man from the human race seemed to have helped us a lot during the attack on Dragon City."
Shuriel recalled everything that the civilians had just narrated.
Sylph nodded. "Although I don't want to admit it, he did help a lot."
If Miss had not brought the unsuspecting Sylph back to the shelter in time, Giss might have really been able to capture Sylvia.
And none of the civilians present would survive.
There is no doubt that it was Miss who saved Sylvia and the dragon people who had nothing to do with her.
Sylph even saw with her own eyes that in order to save a little dragon boy, he showed up without fear of death and faced the fourth-class Gis and the fierce rebels.
This point of Miss shocked her greatly.
