But having said that, where to put these fellows while talking with Kal'tsit was still a problem, because they couldn't exactly keep them by their side, could they? If that were the case, wouldn't any conversation that was inconvenient for them to overhear be impossible to hide? This was indeed a problem for them.
And our clever and wise Miss Jeanne, after using her quite nimble head to think for a while, came up with an excellent solution.
"So your solution is to dump this group of plague gods at our camp! Do you have some kind of misunderstanding about our strength? We are just mercenaries!"
Mudrock, sitting in the office, spoke to Jeanne, who was patting her shoulder with a face that looked as if entrusting such an important task to her was a sign of the organization's trust in her. If it weren't for the fact that she couldn't beat her, she definitely would have given her a bonk with the hammer the moment she patted her shoulder and said those words!
Is this something a human would do? Over there was a Sanguinarch and a leader of the Confessarrii; what virtue or ability did a small mercenary like herself have to keep an eye on this group! Look at this group of fellows beside her; they went silent the instant they saw these bastards! Where was your courage from yesterday? Didn't you want to properly repay the suffering you endured to these guys?
Why are you all mute now? Why are you all standing so far away? Mudrock looked at this group of somewhat cowardly subordinates, her heart feeling a bit like a bitter melon But this wasn't their problem either; never mind that they talked about seeking revenge on these fellows, but when the time to realize it actually came, these people didn't have any real capability. If it weren't for the fact that Jeanne's eyes told her she wasn't joking, she would have thought this person had come here today specifically to amuse herself.
"Don't be afraid, they probably can't pull off any stunts in their current condition. Besides, haven't I assigned extra helpers to you?"
Jeanne pointed to the group of wyverns crouching behind her, each one staring intently at the Sarkaz who were regarded as enemies by their master. If any of these fellows dared to make even a slight move, the dragon fire in their mouths was no joke and would definitely spray out in the first instance, cremating these guys instantly. Furthermore, this group this time were wyverns! No matter how superb the swordplay of that Confessarius was, he shouldn't be able to reach high into the sky.
And hearing these words, Mudrock could be considered to have set her mind slightly at ease, as long as she and her people weren't being asked to monitor this group alone. However, she raised her eyes to look again at this group of disheveled fellows, and at the Sanguinarch who had just been placed on the ground by Patriot, barely "possessing a human form" at the moment...
No, her little heart couldn't quite take it again! Discovering that the Sanguinarch was making eye contact with her, Mudrock hurriedly withdrew her gaze and stopped looking over there. She also hadn't expected that one day such big figures would fall into her hands. For Mudrock, who had been frightened by her family using stories of the Sanguinarch since she was a child, it was truly a bit too stimulating.
Looking at the other side, Talulah and the others had also returned, escorting five Emperor's Blades. Had she joined an infected organization, or some extremely secretive dark force? Mudrock understood now; this group of people fought regular armies and then fought Sarkaz, and after fighting the Sarkaz, they could actually capture Emperor's Blades alive! They could be called the tyrants of the snow realm.
Whether joining such a place was lucky or unlucky, she didn't know; anyway, she didn't have much confidence in the prospects in the bottom of her heart. And why were these people carrying stone statues behind them? Was the other side here to deliver gifts? Who gives such bizarrely shaped stone statues as gifts!
When these people got closer, Mudrock discovered that the humanoid stone statues they were carrying looked, from the outside, as if they were carved to look like Blood Demons? But currently, she wasn't sure if they were stone statues, because these stone statues were too hideous and too strange. Mudrock, who could hear the sounds hidden within stones, could hear the souls imprisoned within these stone statues, wailing miserably.
After hearing that sound, Mudrock was also startled. Because she had never heard such a miserable sound inside a stone. Furthermore, stones cannot make such sounds! These things, more than stone statues, looked like corpses with souls trapped inside! Thinking of this possibility, Mudrock also gave herself a scare, but turning her head, she herself felt such an idea was too absurd!
But what she didn't notice was that behind her, the Sanguinarch, who had been half-dead just now, had already opened his eyes and was looking at these hideous stones with a complex gaze. He knew what those were; those were the subordinates he had brought here from his clan! But in just this short amount of time, they had turned into this appearance.
Thinking of this, the Sanguinarch couldn't help but feel a sense of relief. Because just now, he had almost become one of the members inside those hideous stone statues. The reason he was able to live was entirely because the petrification speed on his own body was slightly slower, and he was ruthless enough towards himself. Thinking of this, the Sanguinarch resigned himself to fate, completely giving up any thought of escaping this place. After all, he hadn't lived long enough yet!
"This is truly miraculous, to actually be able to transform a creature like a Blood Demon into inorganic matter... if these stone statues of yours were taken to Columbia, those fellows would surely be willing to pay a high price to buy them."
Although she had seen this thing before, when Kal'tsit witnessed it again, the surprised expression on her face could not be hidden. Kal'tsit considered herself to be a person of wide experience, but when she saw these completely unscientific items, that curiosity, which hadn't been awakened for who knows how many years, woke up again. Currently, she very much wanted to study whether these Blood Demons petrified by some peculiar method belonged to inorganic or organic matter.
What was their structure like at this moment? Did they still possess something like life? If they did, how did those advantages exist? The unknowns contained within piqued her curiosity, but being steady, she also knew that now was not the time to consider these things; if she was truly curious, she could buy one when she went back.
"Hard work, everyone. How was the battle on your end?" Looking at the calm Talulah, Jeanne knew there were no great losses in this operation. Thinking about it, it made sense; with everyone having learned Baptismal Chant and cooperating with each other, the difficulty of dealing with these fellows was not much harder than usual training.
And the result was exactly as Jeanne thought; Talulah very calmly reported their battle situation to Jeanne, and it was very gratifying.
"It went quite smoothly. Those Emperor's Blades gathered together to oppose us, and as a result, this fight went even more smoothly than we imagined. There were no sacrifices; the one most seriously injured was hit by FrostNova..."
And hearing her say this, Jeanne naturally understood that this was the Yeti Squadron getting up to their antics again, but this time they might have provoked their Big Sister. And Jeanne noticed that she hadn't seen FrostNova along the way just now; it seemed this act must have been very exciting! Jeanne's heart for "eating melons" began to stir again.
However, when Talulah saw Kal'tsit standing to the side, she also raised her eyebrows in some surprise, seemingly not having figured out why she would appear here. This doctor, whom she had met once in Chernobog, had left a very deep impression on Talulah, especially her ability to say words she didn't understand, which was even more profound than Kashchey. And when she heard Patriot introduce the other party's identity to her, she was also slightly surprised that the other party was actually an immortal!
Talulah was naturally somewhat curious; this was, after all, the second immortal she had seen! She just didn't know what the reason was for her immortality. As for the issue of her appearance being too young, that wasn't anything strange. Haven't you seen that the appearance of some of that snake's bodies is also quite young?
"We meet again, Ms. Talulah. I truly did not expect that after only such a short time, we would meet again."
Kal'tsit turned and greeted Talulah, and after Talulah also nodded, she began to greet this doctor. She also expressed her thanks in passing; the medical materials this doctor had given her were indeed very useful and had helped them train many excellent doctors. And if you were to ask what was most scarce in this place? It was doctors! In this broken place, five villages couldn't even share one doctor who could only look at headaches and fevers and prescribe some folk remedies. And the value of the materials the other party had traded with her had already surpassed Holy Water; Talulah was naturally very grateful to this doctor.
"I already know the purpose of your visit, Doctor. Let us... find a quiet place to talk about these things!"
Talulah turned her head to glance at this group of tied-up fellows and the soldiers who were skillfully splashing Holy Water around them and using Baptismal Chant to form a barrier, and spoke with Kal'tsit.
