Chapter 121 Candy Humiliated
Even though Candy was slow to catch on, she finally understood what Manlis meant by making her experience a mother's pain!
"No, please, don't do this!"
Candy screamed, "I can't be treated like this! I'm the first female Knight Commander of the Soth Empire. I have military achievements. I'm supposed to take over as head of the Knights. You can't treat me like this!"
Manlis laughed coldly. She had no interest in this scene or Candy's shrill voice, which was giving her a headache. She turned to leave, waving for Frol to follow.
Frol glanced at Candy and said coolly, "I remember you loved spreading rumors about other women selling their bodies. Words come out easily, but you probably don't know what they really mean. But that's okay - you'll understand soon enough."
He then spoke to the soldiers, "If she begs for mercy, cut her. Just don't let her die. You can do whatever you want, wherever you want."
With that, he turned and left directly.
The screams from outside the cave hadn't stopped, but Candy no longer had the luxury of worrying about Hanks and the others.
The soldiers approaching her step by step were grinning lewdly as they unbuckled their pants, revealing the bulges beneath. Candy screamed and tried to back away, but someone grabbed her by the hair. The ropes binding her and her chainmail were removed - underneath was just a thin cotton robe, which the Zotfort soldiers tore open carelessly, exposing the soft skin beneath.
Someone in the crowd of soldiers whistled, and everyone burst into laughter.
Candy cursed herself bitterly - why had she worn form-fitting chainmail instead of thick plate armor just to squeeze to the front and claim credit?
Those men's lewd gazes swept over her body, and some even commented brazenly, "She's not even that good-looking. How did she supposedly push aside Duke Skoda's daughter to snag a Knight Commander husband?"
"Well, you don't get it. Some women don't want to be mistresses forever, so they'll climb up desperately. Didn't you hear Lord Frol say this woman spread rumors about other women selling their bodies? Acting all high and mighty."
The soldier at the front laughed loudly, "And now she still has to spread her legs and wait to get fucked in front of me!"
With that, ignoring Candy's struggles, he didn't even bother with lubrication. He stroked himself a few times, then grabbed Candy's thighs and thrust straight in.
Candy felt like her brain was being knocked senseless. The pain below was like being torn apart. Though Holden had been rough with her, he'd never skipped the preparation, and besides, the size difference was completely different - not even in the same league.
But the Zotfort soldiers didn't care whether Candy was comfortable. The tall man just used her like a release valve, grabbing her legs and pounding away. When he finished, the next soldier unbuckling his pants walked up to Candy, looked down and joked with a laugh, "Hey, you dislocated her leg!"
The soldier who'd just finished waved dismissively, "Lord Frol said as long as we don't kill her, it's fine."
One person, two people, three people...
Candy had lost count of how many men had pinned her down and used her. At first she'd screamed for them to stop, begged them to let her go, but when the soldiers heard this, not only did they not stop, they took daggers and cut numerous gashes on her body, including her face. Just now, one soldier found Candy's voice too annoying and slashed her right cheek viciously.
"Shut up! A woman like you dared to harm Duke Clapton's child. If Lord Frol hadn't forbidden your death, I'd definitely take your life!"
Candy covered her bleeding face but didn't dare scream anymore. She felt the man release inside her like he was completing a task, then coldly pull up his pants to leave.
"Why are you doing this to me?" Candy asked weakly. Her body was covered in various wounds - some had even carved the mark of a whore on her chest and thighs. She'd never imagined this would happen to her. She didn't understand why these men had the right to do this to her.
Holden - why hadn't Holden come to save her yet?
Tears fell from Candy's eyes. She thought desperately that given Holden's personality, if he knew she'd been with all these men, he would definitely demand a divorce without hesitation.
She didn't know how long had passed. When the pain in her body had become numb, someone entered the tunnel, grabbed her by the hair and dragged her out. Without a scrap of cloth covering her, she was pulled out in front of all the soldiers, her wounds and bruises clearly visible in the daylight.
Under those gazes, Candy frantically tried to cover herself, but her outstretched hand was hit by a stone from somewhere, and the pain made her quickly pull it back.
Someone in the crowd sneered, "What's there to cover? Let your soldiers see too!"
"Exactly! Such an impressive Knight Commander - if you can share credit for killing innocent prisoners, why can't you show them your body?"
"You little whore squatting like a frog with your ass in the air - why don't you hop around and croak some more?"
Tears welled up in Candy's eyes as she turned away and squeezed them shut, but the person gripping her hair slapped her face, forcing her to look. "Stop pretending! You'd better open your eyes wide and look clearly, or I'll gouge out your eyeballs and put them here to watch - same thing!"
Candy was so frightened she quickly opened her eyes. When she saw Hanks and the others, she finally couldn't hold back her tears.
In the center of the clearing lay five or six people. Blood pooled beneath them, their limbs hanging at unnatural, twisted angles.
The person holding Candy seemed interested in her expression and pushed her directly next to them. She couldn't care about anything else and reached out with trembling hands to check their breathing and heartbeat.
When she discovered they were all still alive, she breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dare imagine what hell it would be if they were all dead and she alone had to face the enemy's revenge.
Hanks seemed to sense Candy's approach. He hesitated for a moment before asking weakly, "Candy?"
Candy nodded quickly, "It's me!"
But before she could continue answering, Candy felt a force from behind push her flat to the ground, her naked body falling completely into view of the men on the ground.
Hanks's pupils were practically trembling. He asked in disbelief, "You, you all..."
He wanted to ask Candy what they were doing, but soon he didn't need to ask.
Many soldiers came over, unbuckled their pants, and right in front of Hanks and the others, began thrusting into Candy. Candy's whole body trembled, and she actually instinctively raised her hips to meet the soldier's movements from behind.
