Nicodemus just shook his head wryly and knelt silently.
Had he given up?
No!
But, his approach on the matter was different.
At times, they, Deifers, would infiltrate a place by allowing themselves to get taken as prisoners.
And on the way to the dungeon, they would find a way to escape.
For Nicodemus, this was the best option at the moment.
Why?
Because if the enemy could come in like this, that meant that they had already surrounded the entire outside territory to a certain extent.
Additionally, they didn't know how many the enemy had brought in.
So the odds were against them.
That's why Nicodemus preferred to play along and find a way to escape and report his findings to his highness Winston before it was too late.
He didn't care about his life and death but only wanted to ensure that the message went access.
As for Holt reporting him to Winston, he didn't bother about his threats too.
