Chapter 380 No choice

Shieldwind Fortress.

Of course, Justus and Titus were both taken away by Rimusk.

In fact, Rimusk originally did not intend to take care of Titus, but he knew that if he planned to draw a clear line with Kairos and his son and become a "loyal minister" to Emperor Marius and Justus, he would need a witness.

So, he had Titus rescued too.

"...My family is in the hands of Miss Alina, and I have to exchange you for my family. Lord Justice, that's the whole thing. I don't intend to hide the fact that I have deceived you, but you

I also know that it’s just that our positions are different. But now, Kairos and Antonius and his son have gone crazy. They just want to turn the empire against the entire continent..."

Rimusk drove away all the guards and explained to Justus everything he believed on the top floor of the inner castle.

"...Limusk, you actually still think that Kairos and his son are doing it for the status of the Shadow Legion? No!"

Titus next to him interrupted bitterly: "They are doing it for the Noldor elves! Antonius now relies on blood for a living! It takes a lot of Noldor elves' blood to save his life! They are doing it to make the Noldor elves surrender to the empire.

All-out war..."

Rimusk was stunned: "How do you know?"

"Antonius tortured me all night long, and this is what he said himself...and you also know that he is no longer human, he has become a complete monster now!"

Titus pointed at the bloody whip wounds on his body and said through gritted teeth.

"That's true..." Justus sighed: "In the final analysis, it is still the fault of the Snake Cult..."

"Sigh... No matter what they are for, I don't want to be involved in it anymore. Lord Justus, Miss Alina will come to pick you up soon. I swear that I will take my family to Siyuan City to ask Marius

Your Majesty surrenders. But I hope you can testify for me that I really have nothing to do with the Snake Cult... Titus can also prove that we were all coerced by Antonius."

Rimusk really wants to get out of this vortex.

At this point, a guard came to report: "Lord Rimusk, there are several knights outside who claim to be from the 'Imperial Intelligence Service' requesting to enter Shieldwind Fortress."

"It looks like Miss Alina is here..."

Rimusk followed the guards downstairs and went to the city gate to greet them.

Justus and Titus were the only ones left in the attic room.

Titus looked at Justus, then at Rimusk's back, and suddenly asked: "Lord Justus, if... I want to marry Miss Alina, will you agree?

"

Justus was stunned.

Then, he shook his head with a wry smile and sighed: "Titus, don't do anything stupid... You can try to marry another noble lady, and I can help you intercede..."

Titus also smiled bitterly and sighed: "Lord Justus, I don't want to do this either, but I have no other way out... No one will treat me as one of their own..."

He took out a small knife from his waist.

…

Those who entered Shieldwind Fortress as the ‘Imperial Intelligence Service’ were, of course, Leon, Alina and others.

They came to exchange hostages.

But after entering the room on the top floor of Shieldwind Fortress, Rimusk was dumbfounded...

"Where are people? Are you kidding us?"

Looking at the empty hall, Li Ang drew his sword and pointed it at Rimusk's neck.

"No...we were still here just now, just a few minutes ago...Titus! Titus, you bastard!"

Rimusk looked around a few times, then rushed to the window and yelled.

The view from the top floor of the castle is very good. From the window, you can just see the back of Titus carrying a truck away, and Justus is also in the cargo box.

This guy ran away from the back door of Shieldwind Fortress!

"Come here! Go and chase that bastard Titus back! Life or death!"

Rimusk jumped to his feet and roared.

"Can you catch up? He has run so far, and he is still holding hostages... Rimusk, since something went wrong with you, then this deal will not count..."

Leon and Alina also saw Titus driving away outside, but they were not too anxious, and instead pushed towards Rimusk together.

"Miss Alina, I swear I'm not playing tricks, that's really... ugh!"

Rimusk sat down on the ground against the wall, holding his head in frustration.

"Get up...how many troops did you bring back?"

Li Ang stepped forward and kicked Rimusk.

"Nearly a thousand people...except for the shadow infantry soldiers originally under Livius, the others are all new recruits..."

Rimusk stood up with his head shrinking. He thought that Li Ang was going to beat him, so he answered quickly.

It seems that those Shadow Troopers were redeemed by their respective families and returned to follow Rimusk.

"Let your troops control the Shieldwind Fortress. Since you failed to protect Lord Justus, then you should protect the Shieldwind Fortress...stop all the Bacchus troops retreating here from White Deer Castle! You must

Otherwise, you will never see your family again... Alina, let’s go!”

Leon stared into Limousk's eyes and said his request, then looked out the window and took Alina downstairs.

Titus was no longer visible outside the window.

Titus ran very fast. Looking at the direction, he should be running to the west.

But Li Ang and Alina are really not in a hurry.

Because many Scorpion Assassins were watching at the back door - a knight ran away from the back door of Fort Walweng a few days ago. The Scorpion Assassins did not catch up. Although there was no need to chase at the time, Ramon felt that this kind of thing could not happen again.

.

So this time, Ramon himself was watching from the back door, and Wendy was also there.

Titus drove his carriage to the west and had just gone a few miles when he was surrounded by Ramon and his men.

Taking hostages is very difficult for ordinary people, but for Ramon, unprofessional kidnappers like Titus are really easy to deal with.

The Scorpio flying knife is not just for killing people. Ramon showed how to kill the kidnappers who took hostages at the auction...

When Li Ang rushed to Ramon's side, Titus had already been controlled - like Ikram, he was shot out of one eye by Ramon with a flying knife, and had a Chinook nailed on his right hand.

With many arrows, his palm was nailed to the carriage carriage.

"Lord Justus, you have been kidnapped too many times..."

Li Ang looked at Justus who was safe and sound, and was completely relieved.

"It seems that I should find a few masters for personal protection...but I can't command the Noldor elves like you..."

Justus shook his head and laughed at himself.

"Father...what is all this going on? Is Kairos the mastermind? Why did he start the war? Is it just to prevent the reform and let the Shadow Army regain its power?"

Alina helped Justus and asked about the cause and effect.

"This matter... Well, Leon, and that Noldor girl, you must be mentally prepared... What Kairos is going to trigger is not a war between White Deer Castle and the Empire, but a war between the Noldor elves and humans...

…As for blocking reform, that is just incidental.”

Justus told Leon and Wendy the cause and effect.

A few years ago, when immunity from the Red Death had just been discovered, Anson had to return to Cullendeer Castle to oversee the spread of horsepox.

At that time, Antonius had recovered his vital signs, but he had been unconscious and was basically in a vegetative state. Anson could not take Antonius away - he could not bear the hardship at that time, and the bumpy road would be fatal.

The poison he was poisoned was too complicated and he was extremely weak and needed long-term convalescence, so Anson asked the Knights of the Radiant Cross in the City of Knowledge to take over this special patient.

Later, when Anson served as the consul of Cullen Deer Castle, he often corresponded with the Knights of the Shining Cross and had been trying to treat Antonius. He had already found some way, and Antonius also showed signs of recovery.

But unexpectedly, Li Ang was struck by lightning and disappeared. The Bacchus Empire quickly took back Karen Deer Castle, and Anson could only take the people back to Changhe Town.

Since then, the Lion Realm has been plunged into a long war, and Antonius' treatment has been delayed again.

After Kairos chased Az Dahaka to Desha, he also disappeared for a long time.

Until half a year ago, Kairos returned to Siyuan City - he came back by boat.

Shortly after Kairos returned to Siyuan City, Justus received news that Emperor Marius was seriously ill.

So Justus was about to return to Siyuan City to visit His Majesty the Emperor, but he was kidnapped by Antonius as soon as he left Boshi City.

Antonius coerced Justus to replace most of the lower-level commanders of the Empire's First Legion with his people - but the new people were not random people, most of them were qualified Imperial soldiers or former

Centurion of the Shadow Legion.

These people were transferred out of power in the past two years, and now it looks like they have been transferred back to serve in the First Army of the Empire, so they are not eye-catching at all.

Later, Kairos summoned the Shadow Army at Imperial Port, and as the Imperial Marshal, led the army all the way north, taking under his banner all the lords who once belonged to the Shadow Army.
