Chapter 75: 044 I the Hunt -2 (Part One)
Before they could reach the mine, Hilda and Archbishop Raphael had to stop their horses in the middle of the road
Because the dwarves they planned to rescue were standing right there Except, they were also being accouests as well
The claws and fangs belonging to the lycans were only millimetres away from the dwarves’ throats Meanwhile, their lis
Hilda’s uess what the lycans were going for here
This was a ‘hostage’ situation
-To the noble Imperial Princess of the Theocratic Es
A lycans, a half-man, half-beast monster at least three metres tall, stepped forward It had the head of a hile its whole body was covered in black fur It even wore armour and a helaze over the other lycans before spreading open its ar itself
-I’otiate with you, princess
“Negotiate?”
Hilda furrowed her brows after hearing that Red the corner of its lips upwards
-What ant is you A detailed discussion will take place between only you and me As you humans say, I want to have a more ‘intimate and private’ discussion with you
“…”
-If you agree to this demand, we shall release these short ones
“Euh-euph!”
The gagged dwarves tried resisting However, even if they were renowned for their strength, there was little they could do to win against the lycans when their hands were rigidly bound like this
Hilda raised her arm and extended her hand
The members of the Verdant Cross all raised and pointed their crossbows, bows, and spears Raphael got ready to offer his prayers in order to activate his ic
“Why should we trust your word?”
Redlanced at one of the lycans It released a dwarf and shoved hiled with his bound liet to where Hilda was

Archbishop Raphael stood next to Hilda and whispered urgently to her “Your highness, you ’s words This is clearly a trap Theus”
Because the lycans possessed excellent hearing, Redmoon could hear what Raphael said It spoke up once more

Hilda’s previously-cold expression crumbled Her eyes trembled as if unrest stirred up in her mind
Redmoon didn’t miss those tinyas you come with us, we shall free the at Hilda, its eyes arching in a grin
-What ish for is ‘peace’ and ‘freedom’
“Peace? Freedom?”
Now those were rather novel words to come out of a lycan’s mouth
-Our enemies are the Vampires We are not their pets and ant to be freed from them The Imperial Princess of the Theocratic E an alliance with us and enjoy the subsequent peace?
Hilda’s eyes narrowed down to slits at Redmoon’s offer

But just then, loud battle roars suddenly resounded out
Platoons of dwarves kitted out in aran dashi+ng in and out of the city’s streets
