Now that Tomyris has successfully rescued Dione.
Well, this operation ended relatively perfectly.
But Hilde won't be reassured by this.
Apollo's threat has not disappeared.
And now, Hilde has a more comprehensive understanding of Apollo's danger. Apollo is more dangerous than Hilde had imagined before. His ambition and desire are too terrible. Therefore, a hysterical man like this will definitely chase after him after he escapes. Therefore... the battle between him and Apollo will probably not stop for a while.
This is so despairing.
Hilde became even more worried about the future.
Fortunately, Dione was rescued.
The third tune, the ninth section, a particularly miserable experience
Retreat immediately when the goal is achieved.
This is very much in line with Hilde's usual approach.
There is no point in staying here and continuing to fight with them. Apollo may have some concerns if he didn't catch up. After all, a being like Apollo must be afraid of death and afraid that Hilde will leave a trap or something. Of course, this is just Hilde's gamble. If Apollo really catches up, it will be a big problem.
Just at the end, Hilde and his group successfully left Athens and ran directly to the north of Attica. After running a long distance, they were sure that Apollo had not caught up with them and would not catch up in a short time, so Hilde and his group stopped.
Now that Diony has been found, Hilde can't wait to reunite with Diony, because she knows that Diony's withdrawal reaction must be very serious.
And their meeting place.
It is Amphipolis in the north.
When Hilde and his party arrived in Amphipolis, Tomyris had already brought Dione here and placed her in a separate room.
After doing such a big thing, Brasidas naturally wanted to discuss it with Hilde, but he also knew that Hilde's mind was now completely focused on Dione, so he did not disturb Hilde, but after returning to Amphipolis, he ordered the troops to prepare for defense immediately, leaving them the opportunity to be alone.
And Hilde can't wait.
Rushed into Dioni's room.
"Dione!!!"
"Hilde, she's in a very bad condition."
At this time, Tomyris, who was in charge of taking care of her, stood up and walked in front of Hilde.
"What happened?!"
"Let's go in and take a look first."
Tomyris looked at Sophia beside her.
Hilde and Sophia couldn't hold back any longer, they hurriedly walked past Tomyris and went straight into the innermost room. When they opened the door, they saw Dione lying on the bed, looking very terrible.
"Dione..."
Hilde looked at her pale face and felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly.
"Sorry, I'm late."
"...Sister Sissi?"
"I'm here."
Seeing that Dione was still conscious, Hilde breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly walked to the bedside and sat down. At this time, Tomyris walked into the room with a gloomy face. She stood behind Hilde and said helplessly: "Apollo is a beast. Do you know what he did to Dione?"
"What? What did he do?"
"Lift up the blanket and take a look."
Hilde turned her head and looked at the blanket on Dione.
When she heard Tomylis say that, she had a bad feeling, knowing that something must have happened to Dione. But for Hilde, she couldn't imagine it. If something really happened to Dione, Hilde felt that she would not be able to forgive herself.
"Sister Sissi...thank you."
At this time, Dione shed tears while looking at Hilde.
After all, in Dione's mind, it was incredible that Hilde could take such a big risk and travel all the way from the Byzantine Kingdom to Athens to rescue her. After all, the enemy they were facing was not an ordinary person, but a god. Although Dione believed that Hilde would come to rescue her, she had already made preparations. After all, Hilde was the king of the Byzantine Kingdom. She had to be responsible for the people of her kingdom and could not use her life in such a dangerous thing.
But Hilde still came.
From the king's perspective.
This is extremely negligent and stupid behavior.
But from another perspective...
It was so touching that Hilde was willing to give up all these and risk such a great danger to save Dione, who had no blood relationship with her. Although Dione had suffered so much torture, the moment she saw Hilde, she felt that all her patience and pain during this period were completely worth it.
"Can I lift the blanket?"
Hilde forced a wry smile on his face.
Before this question, she chose to ask Dioni what she thought.
Dioni used his remaining arm to pull down the blanket, and then said helplessly: "I'm really sorry, my arm...is like this now. Apollo twisted my arm, and then Creon cut off my arm to relieve my pain."
"My God..."
Seeing this scene, Sophia immediately covered her face and turned away.
She couldn't hold back her tears.
But so is Hield.
Hilde's tears immediately flowed out of her eyes, but she still persisted, persisting in smiling at Diony. She looked at Diony's arm which was only half gone, and her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife, as if Hilde had experienced all the pain that Diony had suffered during this period of time.
The feeling is indescribable.
But it is indeed extremely painful.
"I'm sorry...I'm late."
Hilde held Dione's hand tightly.
Her shaking hands told others the pain in Hilde's heart, and Dione smiled weakly: "It's okay, Sister Sissi, I'm very grateful that you risked such a big risk to save me. It's obviously me who caused so much trouble to you, Sister Sissi. If anything happened to you, I would be even more sad."
"You now……"
Hilde knew.
What is Dione's current condition?
She needs to be sucked now.
Only by sucking blood can Dioni's current condition be stabilized.
But Dione is in obviously bad condition now. If Hilde chooses to suck blood at this time, I really don’t know if Dione can hold on.
However, Hilde has never been a hesitant person.
She doesn't like to spend too much time on these things.
If Dioni doesn't suck blood now, her condition will become worse. Only by sucking blood can she get rid of her current withdrawal reaction, so this is the only option left for Hilde.
"You guys go out for a while."
"Ok."
Tomyris nodded, then helped Sophia out of the room.
After the two left the room and closed the door, Hilde gently propped herself up and put her face in front of Dione.
"I will help you relieve your pain now."
Chapter 3, Part 10: A Dead End with No Other Solution
Dione also knew what was going to happen.
She nodded, then raised her head, revealing her neck.
That slender neck seemed so fragile that it could be easily broken, especially now... Hilde felt that Dione would not be able to endure the sequelae of being sucked blood. However, if she didn't do this now, it would be meaningless. Dione's life could only be continued by this method.
Hilde opened her mouth slightly.
The canine teeth also became sharper, and it gently touched Dioni's neck, breaking the delicate skin directly.
The teeth then penetrate the skin and muscle.
Enters the part of the human body that is richest in blood.
"Woo..."
Dione couldn't help but moan. Although she had experienced this kind of thing many times, she still felt a strange feeling when her blood was sucked again. It had been so long since Dione had been sucked, and now it was like the dry land finally welcomed a rain. That wonderful feeling made Dione's body seem to float in the sky, and all the pain disappeared instantly.
As Hilde sucked Dione's blood, she cried. She suddenly hated herself for sucking blood, for losing control and causing Dione to become what she is now, and for not taking Dione with her when she went to the north. If it weren't for these things, Dione wouldn't have been treated like this by Apollo, and he wouldn't have been so badly injured that he was almost dying.
The process of sucking blood.
It lasted for a full ten minutes.
By the time Hilde opened her mouth, Dione had fallen asleep.
The color on her face became a little lighter, but her peaceful sleeping face showed that she was now free from pain. Perhaps, because of the pain of withdrawal reaction before, Dione had not rested much, and now, Dione could finally close her eyes and fall into a deep sleep.
"I'm sorry, Dione."
Hilde sat on the bed and gently held Dione's hand.
"I failed to protect you."
Looking at Dione's sleeping face.
Hilde felt a little relieved.
She sat by the bed and accompanied Diony for half an hour. When she was sure that Diony was in good condition, Hilde got up. She first covered Diony with the blanket, then left the room and went outside.
"Sissi, what's going on?"
See Hilde come out.
Sophia couldn't help it and came to Hilde's side.
"Is it serious?"
“…Yes, it is.”
Hilde sighed helplessly.
"how……"
"Her arm is completely gone, and I don't know what to do... Then, her condition has stabilized now, and she will need time to recover from now on." Hilde sighed, and she looked at Tomyris on the side and said helplessly, "Cleon cut off her arm to save her. Do you think that's true?"
"If Dione's arm was broken by Apollo as described, then Dione might not be alive today because of blood loss and other diseases. Therefore, even in the army, this method is no problem. Cutting it off directly and treating the wound immediately can increase the chance of survival."
"..."
Hilde gave a helpless smile.
"That's it."
"In that case, Dione will be in ..." Sophia couldn't help but cover her face, "This is too cruel."
"Being able to survive Apollo's hands is the most fortunate thing. Compared to this, losing a hand is a very light price to pay." Tomyris said mercilessly, "Also, I think Apollo will definitely choose to make a comeback after he finds out that Dione has been taken away. You must have fought with Apollo before, so do you think Apollo can win?"
"It's hard."
Hilde said directly:
"Apollo's strength is indeed very strong."
"What are you going to do?"
"I have a powerful backup, but it will take at least some time for her to arrive. Besides, Apollo is afraid of death. We sensed that from the attack just now. Facing our attack, Apollo's reaction was obviously not as calm as a god should be. So, if Apollo comes back, we can use this to prevent him from getting close to us..."
Hilde said this.
She was so frustrated that she couldn't help but lower her head.
"But I have a bad feeling."
"what happened?"
"We have offended a god... He can cause Athens to fall into the plague, but he can also make us suffer from the plague. If the Byzantine Kingdom is attacked by Apollo's plague, then my country will fall into great pain. Moreover, I feel that Apollo is a vindictive person, so he will definitely find all kinds of opportunities to cause trouble."
