I smiled faintly.
'Good. Torture him a little. Make sure he never wants anything to do with Armus again.'
He had Gyros. The envoy had been plucked right out of the war zone without anyone noticing.
'Torture? Lyrate would be a better choice for that,' Knight replied through the mental link. 'She actually enjoys that sort of thing. I'd rather stay here and wait for the reinforcements.'
'How long until they arrive?' I asked.
'I'm not sure,' Knight answered. 'It depends on how badly Lana wants help. If she pushes, they could force their way here in half an hour… or it might take an entire day.'
I hummed thoughtfully.
'Alright. Tell Lyrate where you dropped the demon. Let her handle him. You stay here with me.'
Knight sent the location to Lyrate, and, unsurprisingly, she argued for almost two minutes. Eventually she clicked her tongue, dismissed her giant tree from the battlefield, and vanished to go deal with Gyros.
