Chapitre 936: Steep Ascent

With a weary sigh, Ves stepped up to the projection and bent down slightly to shake the avatar's hand.

Just before their palms met, Ketis suddenly forced him back. "Wait a minute! I have something to say first."

Sigrund barely acknowledged Ketis before she spoke up. That she asserted herself all of a sudden surprised both him and Ves.

"I don't know what kind of secret you are so keen on hiding, Ves, but you're not the only one here who knows about Sigrund." She turned her gaze to the dwarf officer avatar. "You jumped up AI, if you want to buy my silence, you better cough up our fellow Vandals and Swordmaidens!"

"I stand with Ketis on this." Ves quickly said. "Sigrund, our pact is off if you don't release our surviving comrades?"

The projection grimaced. [About that… the fighting between your comrades and the other humans has been rather… intense. There are barely any survivors left on both sides.]
