Chapter 68 Blood Oath
"Which team are you from? How did you get here?"
Sergei frowned and looked up and down at the Fatui who had just entered the ruins. Perhaps because of the light, he always felt that this brother's face was darker than that of ordinary people.
"Report to the captain, I belong to the team of Lord Yvon Shaffer, and I am also under the order of Captain Yvon to pass on a vital piece of information to you." Kaiya tried his best to avoid the light and not reveal any flaws.
"Yvon. Oh, it's him."
Sergei nodded, thinking of this colleague who had been staying in Mondstadt, and then asked in confusion: "How did Yvon know I was here?"
He was the target that was changed midway, and it stands to reason that other colleagues should not know about it.
"Some time ago, the captain of the Knights of Favonius, Kaia, led a team of Knights of Favonius to leave Mondstadt. Captain Yvonne guessed that he was here to assist the guerrillas and deal with the banditry in the Lookout Mountains."
Kaia gave a prepared answer: "Captain Yvonne sent me to collect intelligence. I noticed that there was the shadow of our Fatui behind the bandits, and I happened to discover the conspiracy of the Knights, so I deliberately bypassed the blockade of the Knights and entered from the back of the ruins to join them."
"I see." Sergei suddenly realized, and then asked: "What conspiracy does the Knights have?"
"How much does the captain know about the Knights' Cavalry Captain Kaia?"
"I haven't known."
Sergei shook his head.
It's better not to know, you will know in the future. Kaia's expression was serious and his tone was powerful: "Kaia is extremely insidious and good at disguise. Before I entered the ruins, I saw him disguised as a treasure thief and entered the ruins!"
"What?!"
Sergei was shocked and immediately remembered the new treasure thief group that the treasure thief groups said had only one person. It turned out that the treasure thief group was disguised by the captain of the Knights' Cavalry!
"Captain, Kaia is very good at stirring up people's hearts. I suspect that he sneaked into the ruins and mixed into the treasure-stealing group this time just to incite these thieves to rebel and attack them at the critical moment!" Kaia said with conviction, looking loyal.
"Very good! Your information is timely and important!"
Sergei stood up and patted Kaia's shoulder, then looked heavy-hearted and looked at the members of the Fools beside him: "Tell everyone to take their weapons and be alert to those treasure-stealing groups. If they find anything unusual..."
A fierce look flashed in his eyes, and his palm made a knife-like downward stroke: "Let them know that the price of betrayal is something they can't bear!"
"Captain, is it enough to be alert?" Kaia said worriedly: "They are a treasure-stealing group. I'm worried that they will use some cheap things. Otherwise, we should take the initiative, right?"
"No hurry, we have more important things."
Sergei waved his hand, "First break the seal and take away the secret treasure."
"Let Schubert prepare Okay, let's go to the tribute platform to seal it!"
"Yes, Captain!"
"These Fatui are so stingy! I went to ask for wine in person, but they only gave me this little!"
Zhang Xiwen cursed and directed his thieves to build a high platform. He looked at the eleven heroes of the Treasure Stealing Group and Chen Tianfeng with a heavy face: "Brothers, those Fatui who are not as good as the Qiuqiu people are about to open the seal. I don't need me to say much about the current situation. Everyone knows it, right?"
"When the Fatui open the seal, they will turn against us and throw us into the tiger's mouth of the Knights!"
The eleven heroes of the Treasure Stealing Group nodded, their expressions were either solemn or fierce, and they obviously agreed with Zhang Xiwen's statement.
The Fatui are for the secret treasure. When the seal is not opened and their Treasure Stealing Group is still useful, they are naturally partners. But once they are allowed to take the secret treasure, in the current situation of the Knights' siege, those Fatui will naturally find ways to sell them!
-Because they think so too!
This is the result of judging others by one's own experience and putting oneself in their shoes!
"So, in order to survive this crisis, we must put aside our prejudices and work together!"
Zhang Xiwen swept his eyes over everyone and said solemnly: "Gather all the brothers here, in front of the brothers, let's form an alliance, advance and retreat together, and it can also boost morale."
"There is no need for an alliance, right?"
Eleven heroes of a treasure-stealing group frowned and refused: "I think it's good now. If we form an alliance, who can be the leader?"
After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Chen Tianfeng, his heart full of vigilance.
If an alliance is really formed, I'm afraid that no matter who the leader is, the alliance will eventually become an alliance of the Silver Wing Treasure Stealing Group.
The other eleven heroes of the treasure-stealing group also echoed, thinking that there is no need for an alliance, and everyone can just cooperate tacitly. There is a bit of lingering fear in their eyes when they look at Chen Tianfeng.
With such a monster here, forming an alliance is not like actively feeding the tiger with one's own body?
"I also think that an alliance is unnecessary."
Chen Tianfeng thought he only noticed the gazes of the eleven heroes of the treasure-stealing group, and nodded: "As long as everyone is united, it doesn't matter if we don't form an alliance. If we form an alliance, it may not be good because we haven't run-in."
"What the brothers said makes sense."
Zhang Xiwen scratched his hair, and there was embarrassment and worry on his rough beard face-it was difficult for him to make this expression-and said: "But if we don't form an alliance, how can we guarantee it?"
Before he finished speaking, everyone present understood what he was going to say: trust.
There are now eleven or twelve treasure-stealing groups in the ruins. Although everyone shouted to work together and unite, they all knew in their hearts that when it came to backstabbing, they would most likely not hesitate.
It would have been fine in the past, but in this situation, if the backstabbing continues like this, it is very likely that no one will be able to escape.
However, although the truth is this, everyone knows that there is still hope for trusting each other and not backstabbing, but everyone hopes that others will deeply understand this truth and implement it.
In short, it's double standards, and you want more.
"Then take an oath." Chen Tianfeng thought for a few seconds and made a suggestion: "The brothers present swear to the gods of their respective beliefs and promise not to do anything detrimental to the brothers before this crisis is resolved."
The eleven heroes of the treasure thief group exchanged glances and nodded slowly, indicating that they agreed with Chen Tianfeng's idea.
So they each gathered their men and climbed onto the newly built high platform together. At Zhang Xiwen's suggestion, everyone placed a bowl of good wine in front of them.
"Brothers! I, Chen Tianfeng, hereby make a blood oath!"
Chen Tianfeng looked solemn, pulled out the dagger, and swiped it hard on the palm of his left hand, and the red blood dripped into the wine bowl: "Members of the Silver Wings Treasure Thieves will never betray their brothers or commit any outrageous behavior before escaping from the pursuit of the Knights. Please witness the betrayal!"
The eleven heroes of the treasure thief group also had solemn expressions, and they swore an oath together with Chen Tianfeng. They gritted their teeth and cut their palms, letting the clear wine stain red.
At the same time, without anyone noticing, an invisible wind suddenly emerged, carrying a few wisps of fine blood mist, and quietly blended into the wine bowls of the eleven heroes of the treasure thief group except Zhang Xiwen.
Under the watchful eyes of the treasure thieves below, the twelve people on the high platform simultaneously picked up the wine bowls, drank them all in one gulp, and then threw the pottery bowls hard on the ground, smashing them into pieces.
"If you break this oath, you will be treated like this!"
