Comprehensive comic: Starting from the Soul Society and cutting through all the worlds

Chapter 723 Mordred: Yecheng is my true brother!

Following Epsilon's order, a pig-headed man with chains wrapped around his body, looking a little depressed and extremely embarrassed, was dragged in front of everyone by two people from the Shadow Courtyard.

This person was none other than Mordred, the ninth seat of the Knights of the Round Table, who was previously captured by the "Court of Shadows" and was known as the "Demon Sword of Man-Crossing".

At this moment, Mordred had completely lost his previous arrogance and elegance.

Not only was his originally handsome face beaten beyond recognition, but even from the pool of blood under his crotch, it seemed that his bull had most likely been killed.

"Brother...oh no, sister...Mordred, you guys actually tortured our Knights of the Round Table into this state!

Mordred is not only my guide, but also my brother, beloved relative and friend!"

To be fair, 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 under his command have become the super crazy fans of Night City, and their IQ is not online at all.

"Give us the device that controls the Black Rose and let us leave, and we will return this guy to you."

After hearing Beta's words, before Ye Cheng could say anything, Jiaduo and the other two walked up to Ye Cheng and said, "Master Galahad, we can't agree to her!"

“Yes, we finally defeated the fourth demon lord Ragnarok and completely controlled the Black Rose.

If you have this great achievement, your position will be promoted, that is a sure thing."

Because they were worried that Ye Cheng would impulsively agree to the other party's conditions, Jiaduo and the other three felt that as Lord Galahad's "trusted knights", it was necessary for them to speak up and remind their master.

And his words were hinting to Night City that although Mordred was the ninth seat of the Knights of the Round Table, he had nothing to do with them.

If the other party doesn't die, how can their masters be promoted?

It would even 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. There is no need for them to exchange their achievements for a piece of trash.

"Release my 'good brother' Mordred, and I can let you leave alive. As for the 'Black Rose', our sect has carefully prepared it for so long, we can't give it to you.

If the cult knew that I had given the Black Rose to someone else, I would be punished."

Play the whole game. If Ye Cheng agrees too readily, then even the die-hard fans of the cult under his command will definitely find it strange, so proper bargaining is necessary.

Using Mordred as a bargaining chip was naturally Night City's initial plan.

It is naturally impossible to leave the "Black Rose" to the cult, but if it is given directly to the "Shadow Courtyard", then his undercover identity in the cult will not be able to remain hidden.

Failure on purpose is not an option either. He has just joined the cult. If he fails in his first mission, the cult will have the impression that this newcomer is useless, and he will have no hope of getting a promotion or a pay raise in the future.

After thinking it over for a while, Ye Cheng decided on the current plan.

He may have certain failures in his actions, but such failures must not be caused by him.

To put it simply, he had to find someone to take the blame. And by coincidence, the handsome Mordred was a perfect fit.

Using it to exchange for the "Black Rose" not only delivered the "Black Rose" to the hands of the Shadow Courtyard in a dignified manner, but also the main responsibility for this result was borne by Mordred.

After all, Ye Cheng had been quite powerful in the matter of the Kingdom of Oriana. Not only did he indirectly control the kingdom, but he also defeated the Demon King and successfully took control of the "Black Rose". It was no exaggeration to say that he was the MVP of the game.

But since Mordred, his teammate, is not strong enough, what can Night City do?

“You, the Court of Shadows, should not push your luck! If it weren’t for our Lord Galahad’s loyalty, the rest of the cult wouldn’t care about the life and death of this rubbish… Lord Mordred.

You should be laughing secretly because I let you go alive, but you still want the Black Rose. This kind of transaction is not fair at all!"

Seeing the Shadow Courtyard bitches' arrogant behavior, before Night City could react, the loyal Jado had already stepped forward in anger.

Beta didn't care about Kado's roar, but took out a long sword and stabbed Mordred's abdomen without hesitation.

Mordred, who had taken the essence of Diabolos, had extremely strong vitality. Even if his kidneys were hit, it would not be a fatal injury that would definitely kill him.

But the severe pain still made him scream out in pain on the spot.

"I've said before, we only want the Black Rose. As for whether we can leave safely, you don't need to worry about that.

Our Lord Dark Night is also in the capital now. Although your strength is not bad, are you sure you can defeat our Lord Dark Shadow?"

Seeing Mordred's kidneys being beaten, Ye Cheng felt nothing inside, but on the surface he showed an expression of deep pain.

Seeing the expression on Lord Galahad's face, Jiaduo and the other two knew what decision Yecheng had made. They were about to say something else, but Yecheng interrupted them with his hand, saying, "Don't say anything more. I promised Mordred that I would save him.

I didn't expect that he would suffer so much in the "Shadow Courtyard", even Niu Niu disappeared.

I was able to join the cult because of my guide Mordred. As long as I can save him, I will accept all the punishment from the cult.

A man without integrity cannot stand. I will never break my promise. If I said I would save him, then I must save him.

Even if the person captured today was not Mordred, but someone else among you, I would make the same choice without hesitation."

After hearing Ye Cheng's heartfelt words, the slaves of the cult under his command instantly burst into tears.

If they were playing a game at this moment, Ye Cheng would probably be able to see words like "Loyalty +100" constantly popping up above their heads.

The cult's cattle and horses were in such a state, let alone Mordred, whose kidneys had just been beaten.

When Mordred saw that Ye Cheng really threw the device that controlled the "Black Rose" to Beta without hesitation in exchange for his own life, he was moved to tears.

Ye Cheng is a true brother! To be honest, if Mordred were in his place, he would definitely not have taken the credit and exchanged it for another person's life.

Ye Cheng has such a noble character that he is simply a breath of fresh air in their sect!

Getting Nightside Omega to join the cult was definitely the best decision Mordred had ever made in his life!
