Chapter 723 Mordred: Yecheng Is My True Brother!
Following Epsilon's order, a pig-headed man with chains wrapped around his body, a little depressed, and looking extremely embarrassed was dragged in front of everyone by two people from the Shadow Courtyard.
And this person is none other than Mordred, who was previously captured by the "Court of Shadows" and is the ninth among the Knights of the Round Table, known as the "Devil Sword of Human Transcendence".
At this moment, Mordred completely lost his previous arrogance and elegance.
His originally handsome face was beaten beyond recognition. Judging from the blood stains under his crotch, this guy was probably brutally beaten.
"Brother...oh no, sister...Mordred, you guys actually tortured the Knights of the Round Table in our order like this!
Mordred is not only my guide, but also my brother, my beloved relative and friend! "
To be honest, Night City's acting is very exaggerated, and if Sid were here, he would probably be criticized.
But because of a series of miracles before, the cows and horses of his cult have become super fans of Night City, and their IQs are not online at all.
"Give us the device to control the "Black Rose" and let us leave, and we will return this guy to you."
After hearing Beta's words, Night City hadn't said anything yet, and the three people beside him, Jiaduo, had already walked to Night City and said: "Lord Galahad, we can't agree to her!"
"Yes, we finally defeated the fourth demon king Ragnarok and completely controlled the "Black Rose".
With this great achievement, it is a sure thing for your lord to be promoted."
Because they were worried that Night City would agree to the other party's conditions, Jiaduo and the other three felt that as Lord Galahad's "confidant knights", it was necessary to remind their lord.
And their words hinted to Night City that although Mordred was the ninth seat of the "Round Table Knights", it had nothing to do with them.
If the other party didn't die, how could their lord be promoted?
It would be better if the other party died, so that there would be more empty seats in the "Knights of the Round Table". Following such a powerful Lord Galahad, they might be able to occupy one of the seats one day.
Mordred was captured alive because he was too weak, what does it have to do with them.
The people in the cult are all egoists, and they don't need to use the credit they have in hand to exchange for a waste.
"Let my "good brother" Mordred go, I can let you leave alive, as for the "Black Rose", our cult has carefully prepared for so long, it is impossible to give it to you.
If the cult knows that I handed over the "Black Rose", then I should be punished."
Acting the whole set, if Yecheng agreed too readily, then those cult cows and horses under his command, even if they are brainless fans, will definitely feel strange, so proper bargaining is necessary.
Using Mordred for a deal, this operation is naturally also Yecheng's arrangement at the beginning.
It is impossible to leave the Black Rose to the cult, but if he gives it directly to the Shadow Courtyard, then he will not be able to stay hidden in the cult as an undercover agent.
Failure on purpose is not an option either. He has just joined the cult. If he fails in the first mission, the cult will have the illusion that this newcomer is useless, and there will be no hope of continued promotion and salary increase in the future.
After thinking about it for a while, Ye Cheng decided on the current plan.
He can fail in action to a certain extent, but such failure must not be caused by him.
To put it simply, he must find someone to take the blame.
And by chance, the handsome Mordred is very suitable.
Using him to exchange for the Black Rose not only delivers the Black Rose to the Shadow Courtyard openly, but also the main responsibility for this result is borne by Mordred.
After all, Yecheng was quite powerful in the matter of the Kingdom of Oriana. He not only indirectly controlled the kingdom, but also beat the Demon King and successfully controlled the "Black Rose". It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the MVP of the game.
But as a teammate, Mordred is not powerful. What can Yecheng do?
"You Shadow Courtyard, don't push your luck! If it weren't for our Lord Galahad's loyalty, other people in the cult would not care about the life and death of Mordred, this rubbish... Lord.
You should be laughing secretly if you can leave alive. You even want the "Black Rose". Such a deal is not equal at all!"
Seeing the Shadow Courtyard bitches' aggressive behavior, Yecheng has not reacted yet, and the loyal Jiaduo has already stepped forward in anger.
As for Jiaduo's roar, Beta didn't care at all, but took out a long sword and stabbed Mordred's abdomen without hesitation.
Mordred, who had taken Diabolos' essence, had a very strong vitality. Even if his kidney was hit, it was not a fatal injury that would definitely kill him.
But the severe pain still made him scream out in pain on the spot.
"I said, we only want the 'Black Rose'. As for whether we can leave safely, you don't need to worry about it.
Our Lord Dark Night is also in the capital now. Although your strength is not bad, are you sure you can defeat our Lord Shadow?"
Seeing Mordred's kidney hit, Ye Cheng was calm in his heart, but he showed a look of grief on the surface.
Seeing their Lord Galahad's expression, the three of them knew what decision Ye Cheng had made. They were about to say something more, but were interrupted by Ye Cheng reaching out and saying, "No need to say any more. I promised you before." But Mordred will save him.
Unexpectedly, he suffered so much in the "Shadow Courtyard", and even the cows were missing.
I was able to enter the Order because of Mordred, who led the way. As long as I can save him, I will accept all the punishments from the Order.
If a person has no faith, he will not stand. I will never break the promise I made. I said I would save him, so I must save him.
Even if the person captured today is not Mordred, but someone else among you, I will make the same choice without hesitation. "
Hearing Ye Cheng's heartfelt words, the beasts and horses of the cult under Ye Cheng's command instantly burst into tears.
If they were playing games at this moment, Ye Cheng would probably be able to see words like "Loyalty +100" popping up above their heads.
The oxen and horses of the cult are like this, and Mordred, whose waist has just been fucked, needs no more words at this moment.
When he saw that Ye Cheng did not hesitate to throw the device that controlled the "Black Rose" to Beta in exchange for his own life, Mordred was even more moved.
Ye Cheng is a real good brother! Frankly speaking, if it was him, Mordred, who had changed places, he would definitely not get the credit for another person's life.
Ye Cheng's noble character is simply a breath of fresh air in their sect!
Winning Night City Omega into the cult was definitely the most correct decision in Mordred's life!
