Chapter 407 406. Humiliation

"Take it away! Help me take this disgusting thing away!"

After vomiting, Bella jumped back and pointed at the Puji that she had vomited on with a pale face.

Although the captain of the guards looked confused, he still followed his instructions, picked up the still struggling Puji, and threw it back into the pile of Puji.

Then he asked, "What happened?"

"It's... too disgusting... ugh..." When Bella saw those chaotic blocks of color for the first time, she was completely unable to control the feeling of nausea. She vomited until her stomach was empty before she barely recovered.

After her breathing calmed down, Bella refused to get close to those Poojis again.

If she hadn't known in advance that these were friendly magical familiars, she would have wanted to cut them all into pieces and throw them into the sea to feed the fish.

On the other side, Lin Jun was controlling Puji, lying in the pile of Puji with a look of despair, not even bothering to care about the sticky vomit on his body.

humiliation!

For Dylan, he lowered himself and took the initiative to act cute and please her!

What's the result? !

Puji suffered corrosive damage from stomach acid!

This stupid woman will be humiliated today and will be repaid a hundredfold in the future... on Dylan!

…

Sophia's decision to arrange Bella to come and support was indeed correct. The captain of the guards had originally planned to evacuate immediately after confirming that the pigmen had been defeated.

In his eyes, every extra moment of lingering was an unnecessary risk to the hero's safety.

In fact, he even disapproved of coming down to rescue these people.

However, as Sofia's close follower, Bella insisted on following the hero's instructions.

Under her urging, the guards had to help wake up the Puji masters who were stunned by the hallucinogenic spores.

"I, we are not dead?" A young Puji master sat up, rubbing his forehead and looking around blankly.

"It was the people from the church who saved us!" Another person looked at the guards excitedly, "God of Light bless us!"

When everyone woke up from their chaotic dream and realized that they had miraculously survived, sighs of relief and fear rose one after another.

Angela was also a little surprised that she survived, but when she saw the faintly visible hyphae between the wounds, she was still somewhat confused.

At this moment, two church warriors escorted Baron Morton and his daughter to the center of the crowd. The girl's face was covered in tears, while Morton's face was ashen.

The moment they appeared, someone spat fiercely and shouted angrily, "Traitors!"

"Let me kill him! He killed so many of us!"

The people who survived the disaster wanted to rush up and beat him to death, but the guards blocked their way, so it was obvious that only Bella and the captain of the guards could decide the fate.

Baron Morton put his head to the ground, knowing he had no chance of survival. He made a final effort: "I deserve death! But please... please let Lucia go. This has nothing to do with her will."

Lucia on the side burst into tears: "Father..."

The captain of the guard drew his sword expressionlessly: "A traitor will only end up losing everything he desires."

Baron Morton burst into tears. He struggled to the captain's feet and pleaded with all his might, "It's me! This is all my fault! She's just an innocent child! Please, for the sake of Ixion, the god of light, spare her life!"

"Those who collude with the demons and harm their compatriots are not worthy to call upon the name of our Lord!"

"No--!"

Under Morton's desperate gaze, the captain of the guards cut off his head with a sword.

Lucia let out a scream that was not like a human voice, and her whole body collapsed to the ground, shaking violently. The great fear made her unable to even cry.

The captain of the guards shook off the blood on the blade and walked towards the girl lying on the ground without any hesitation.

His tall figure cast a shadow in the moonlight, completely enveloping Lucia.

"That's enough!" Bella strode forward and held down the captain's sword-wielding right arm. "You executed the traitor in your deepest despair. He received the punishment he deserved. But this girl is innocent!"

The captain of the guards didn't try to break free, showing respect for Bella as a comrade. However, he still shook his head. "The Word of God states: 'The blood of sinners cannot be redeemed.' The Laws of the United Kingdom also clearly stipulate: Those who betray their race will be punished by their relatives. If I spare her life today, it will only give other traitors hope that they can save their families with their own death, and thus act with impunity!"

After saying that, he gently pushed Bella away.

During the previous journey, Bella had won the respect of the captain of the guards with her bravery and wit. He regarded Bella as a comrade-in-arms. Although they had a disagreement at this time, he did not hate her, so he kept a sense of measure in his strength.

Bella was pushed aside. Seeing the captain of the guards approaching the girl again, she took a deep breath and said in a voice that only the captain could hear, "But Lady Sophia... would she want you to do this? Would she be willing to see the blood of an innocent person stained with the swords of her followers?"

The captain of the guards paused, turned his head, and looked past Bella to the ship on the distant sea, which was only a hazy outline in the moonlight. It seemed as if he could penetrate the side of the ship and feel the possible gaze of the brave man at this moment.

After a long time, he turned his wrist, and with a crisp sound of the sword returning to its sheath.

"In her situation," the captain of the guards said, not looking at the girl again, his voice filled with an unclear emotion, "living may not be easier than dying."

Then, without saying anything more, he directed the church warriors to assemble quickly and prepare to leave.

As for the surviving soldiers of Jingu City, they can only rely on themselves for their future survival.

They shoulder the highest mission of protecting the brave and it is impossible for them to stay and act as babysitters for these remnants.

Fortunately, the survivors of Jingu City did not have any unrealistic hopes for this.

Back on the boat, the sails and cables were adjusted, and the boat gradually moved away from the coast under the force of the sea water.

For the brave team holding the incomplete artifact "Ocean Scepter", the vast ocean is undoubtedly much safer than land.

For a long time afterwards, they tried not to go ashore.

However, faced with the worsening war situation on the continent, Sofia could not stay out of it completely.

At her insistence, the ship adjusted its course and continued to move slowly north along the coastline, trying to do what it could.

At the stern, Bella held the railing, squinted her eyes slightly, looked at the gradually distant coast, and recalled the scene before leaving with a strange look on her face.

She saw a Puji Master who had awakened and thanked them while reattaching his severed arm.

There was no medical treatment involved, and I just pushed it back hard. Not long after, my finger was able to move again.

It made her scalp tingle, and she even doubted whether this group of people were human.

But considering Sophia didn't say anything, maybe it really is some new technology from the Kingdom...

However, thinking of those puffs, she felt a little disgusted again.

…

When the sun set again, Angela's team returned to Jingu City.

The troops were reduced by half, but they brought back far more corpses than expected, and they were even still very fresh...

On the other side, Dylan, who had just greeted Bianca who was off work, leaned against the door of the store, looked at the girl's back, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He felt that his tired heart had been healed by this energetic little girl recently, and he slept much more peacefully.

After closing the shop, he was about to take a break, but he found a note on the counter!

The moment Dylan saw the above content, his heart was gripped:

[Want to know where your daughter is? 2:00 AM, abandoned village north of the city.]

"Boss...did anyone enter the store just now?"

"Sorry, I wasn't paying attention!"
