Chapter 173: Subjugating the Senior Knights

Chapter 174 174. Subjugating Senior Knights

The environment of Wushanbao Prison is very bad.

It is dark and damp all year round, the walls are covered with mold, and the air is filled with suffocating stench.

Each cell is very small and can only accommodate a simple bed.

The prisoners are imprisoned in such an environment, without sunlight all day, isolated from the outside world, and often suffer from hunger and disease.

Many criminals become mentally ill and crazy within two or three months after they come in.

According to Lu Lans, even if Leisen did not participate in the assassination of Wiggins and Blanche, his baron title and the Territory of Sein would be deprived.

Therefore, Toru did not have any leniency or preferential treatment when dealing with such criminals. He imprisoned Leisen in the deepest part, and his limbs were bound by thick iron chains, so that even the bronze knight could not break free.

In addition, Toru also arranged people to watch over him day and night. Although he had not yet used torture, he had already used hunger and exhaustion.

If Leisen did not reveal something, he would not be able to eat or close his eyes.

If the interrogation of Leisen stayed at the spiritual level, then the knights and servants of the Sean Territory who followed Leisen would not be treated in this way. Sticks and long whips were already applied to them.

Some weak maids could not bear it and fainted directly. Whether they could wake up again depended on whether they were strong enough.

Under the severe interrogation, these people revealed a lot of things related to Leisen in order to reduce the pain, including the large amount of food, vegetables, and fruits transported from Shanlin Town every year;

In addition, several professional knights who had rushed to Shanlin Town with Feridon revealed that Leisen wanted to kill Ronin.

So far, there is more evidence that Sean Territory occupied the resources of Wushan Fort and killed Ronin, and Leisen’s guilt cannot be avoided.

…

After the New Year celebration, the new day is January 1, 969 in the Imperial Calendar.

This day is also a festive day for many people. After all, the new year brings new atmosphere, and many people want to have a good omen today.

However, Ronin, who got up early, brought Macken and Tom to the prison in Wushan Castle.

He wanted to meet someone here.

"Lord Ronin, the prison environment is terrible. We can take anyone you want to see out. You don't have to come here in person."

Knight Galil, who was guarding outside the prison, didn't expect Ronin to come to the prison early in the morning.

The prison was so dirty. How could this famous man come?

Ronin politely rejected the other party's advice, "Please lead the way for me. I can take a look here."

"Okay then."

Galil said helplessly, "Please follow me."

He lit a torch and, accompanied by several jailers, took Ronin and the other two down to the prison.

The dark environment was filled with the painful groans and shouts of the criminals, which made the atmosphere here creepy. The timid ones might have the idea of ​​retreating before they took two steps.

"Lord Ronin, do you want to see Leisen?"

Galil asked as he walked: "Although that guy didn't sleep all night, the bronze knight's endurance is very strong. He doesn't show much fatigue now, and he hasn't confessed anything."

He changed the subject: "However, his followers did confess a lot. Leisen can't be cleared of the fact that he killed you."

Ronin shook his head.

He certainly didn't come down for Leisen. To be precise, how to deal with this person later has nothing to do with him.

"There is a knight named Joffrey among the knights who came with Leisen this time. Take me to see him."

"Joffrey?"

Galil looked puzzled. He didn't know why Ronin wanted to see this guy, but he was quite impressed by Joffrey.

"When we arrested them last night, it was Joffrey who resisted the most fiercely. The two intermediate knights who went up were directly knocked to the ground by him, and even Captain Garman only fought him to a draw."

Ronin smiled slightly, "Joffrey should be close to the peak of the advanced level. If you want to easily take him down, you really need more people."

Galil agreed deeply, and in the end it was Garman who joined hands with another knight team captain to take Joffrey down.

"This guy is also very tight-lipped. After a whole night of interrogation, he didn't confess any valuable information."

"How is he now?"

"It's okay, he won't die."

Galil said: "For such a high-level knight, we should try not to hurt him too hard. It's better to sell him to a slave caravan than to beat him to death."

As they talked, they came to the outside of a cell.

The jailer opened the door of the cell, and several people walked in. The torch illuminated the small space.

At this time, Joffrey's usual armor had been stripped off, and only a set of linen clothes was left on his body. The linen clothes were whipped into pieces and stained with blood.

At this time, Joffrey's breathing was sometimes heavy and sometimes light, and it was obvious that he was not in a good condition.

"Joffrey, wake up!"

Galil walked forward and slapped the other's face hard.

Joffrey trembled all over, opened his eyes, and subconsciously curled up, "My dear knights, I really don't know many things about Rayson."

A burly man would actually show this side, it seems that he was beaten really hard last night.

In fact, for Joffrey, from last night to now, he seemed to be having a nightmare.

He followed Rayson originally to get rid of his identity as a wild man and create a career. At the beginning, the other party also promised to make it bigger and stronger and turn the Sean Territory into a viscount family.

But things are unpredictable. He didn't expect that Rayson would be thrown into prison so soon. It is said that he will be deprived of his noble title and territory soon.

For Joffrey now, it is impossible to make achievements. Whether he can leave this cell alive is a problem.

After all, those who interrogated him saw that he was the strongest and determined that he was Rayson's trusted knight, and kept asking him to confess the crimes committed by Rayson.

But he didn't even enter Rayson's core circle, and he had no way of knowing what the other party did.

Joffrey felt so bitter.

If he knew that such a thing would happen a few days earlier, he would have agreed to Ronin's recruitment even if it was a betrayal.

"Perhaps, you are unaware."

A senior knight who has just joined the Sean Territory has neither completely gained Rayson's trust nor been suppressed and excluded by the knights trusted by Rayson. It is normal for Joffrey to know little about Rayson's confidential matters.

Joffrey was shocked when he heard this. He knew very well who the owner of this voice was.

When he looked up and saw the face of the speaker clearly, he was so excited that he trembled all over.

"Lord Ronin, please save me!"

Joffrey struggled to get up and knelt on the bed. "After I followed Leisen, I was arranged to stay in the Black Collar Tribe most of the time. Recently, because Leisen suspected that I would betray him and surrender to you, I was transferred to escort him to Wushan City. I really don't know about the crimes Leisen committed!"

"You should be grateful for your 'not knowing', because it saved your life."

Ronin valued Joffrey. On the one hand, he had enough strength and talent. After all, a 31-year-old high-level peak knight would be good anywhere;

On the other hand, his background was relatively simple, and such a person would be relatively pure in his loyalty.

"Rydar told me that you are quite capable. On the way to Wushan Castle, I also invited you. What do you think now?"

Joffrey trembled all over. He didn't expect that Ronin would come to the prison to recruit him in person. This courtesy and respect made him tremble with excitement.

At the same time, he also understood that only by following Ronin could he have a chance of survival.

"I do, sir, I do!"

"From now on, Joffrey's life is yours!"

Ronin's mouth curled up slightly. It is always better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake.

Shanlin Town already has the upper-level combat power, and the vacancy of the middle-level combat power should be filled as much as possible. Joffrey's joining is very suitable.

"McKen, Tom, take Joffrey out."

Ronin said, throwing out five healing spell scrolls, "Oh, by the way, if the injury is too serious, treat it first."

Joffrey heard this and thought of Ronin's repeated recruitment. For a while, he was moved to tears.

In his eyes, Roning was as majestic and tall as Wushan Mountain, and he would always look up to and follow him.
