Kapitel 217: Marshaled Forces

"No."

"Henry, come on," Eloise said in a slightly pleading tone. 

She had left the Citadel quickly once Sir Boyle had given her the go-ahead to bring in outside help and now she stood in the common area with her eyes intent on Henry trying to get him to come along. 

"Eloise. No," Henry insisted, "I was just in a Dungeon and I did not quite enjoy it. Not at all actually so I'm not in any way excited to head back in. Besides, I have other things to think about. Things like ending Ralph Gribbo."

"You can't do that right now anyway," Eloise pointed out, "Besides, you can still work toward that goal a bit by coming along."

"How so?" Henry asked. His interest was piqued for the first time since Eloise had returned with her request. 

"Ralph Gribbo will be lending some of his Mercenaries and they'll be coming with slaves. If you come along, we can set another batch free."

"I think you could do that on your own," Henry said.
