Chapter 63: A reunion on the eve of the final
In just one night, it was fleeting.
The next day, four hours before the final of the competition, there was already a large number of spectators around the Royal Capital Arena looking forward to the final.
Whether it is on the street or in the alley, almost everyone's face is full of excited smiles and expectant looks, waiting for the climax of this grand event to come as scheduled.
The finals don't start until noon. Normally, Estelle and Joshua would have gone with Kim to the underground waterways of the royal capital. There are various types of Warcraft and a variety of complex terrain, which can be used as a good warm-up as well as a place for tactical drills. However, today's final is a big stake – not just for the glory and reward of the champions on the surface, but also for the opportunity to sneak into the palace – and this one can only be won, not lost.
"And...... Haliga and Filipino ...... I've also come to the royal capital......" Estelle was still a little happy when she remembered the scene outside the lounge just now. The big war is coming, and it's great to be able to talk to old friends and relieve some stress.

Two hours ago.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sun had just risen, and Helica and Fei had already gotten up early and waited at the gate of the royal arena. As expected, two familiar figures were seen wandering around early in the morning.
"Hey." Heliga hid her breath, walked around the back of the two, and made a slight noise, startling Estelle's ponytails.
"Yikes!" However, when she turned around and saw the familiar figure, Estelle didn't mean to be angry at all, but a little happy: "It's you...... It's been a long time...... What about Xiaofei? ”
"On the bench over there." Heliga pointed to the small park outside the arena, where Faye was dozing off in a chair, "Look at you like this, did you expect us to come back to you?" Heliga blinked, "Captain Yulia told you, right?" ”
"yes." Estelle looked a little dazed, "I didn't expect you to know ......"
"It's just a coincidence that I rescued her from the secret services of the Ministry of Intelligence...... This is also the guidance of the goddess. Heliga lamented that if he hadn't saved the captain by chance, and had been half-persuaded and half-forced to exchange intelligence and establish a cooperative relationship, things might not have gone so smoothly.
"So, you know what we're going to do?" Joshua heard what Heligah was saying.
"yes...... I know that you will use the rewards of the Athletic Tournament Champion to enter the palace and find a way to meet the Queen...... I also know that you have secretly investigated the intelligence of several key personnel of the Intelligence Department, and you know ......"
"Shh Joshua looked a little flustered, "Be quiet! ”
"What are you afraid of, there are no watchers around here." Heliga shrugged, "Well, anyway, you guys should do their best...... I'd like to say that, but that Second Lieutenant Lawrence...... Tsk, it's a little tricky. ”
"That guy is the one who has repeatedly appeared and hindered us." Joshua shook his head, "It's a blessing not to fight him when I was at Reston Fortress......"
"Fortunately, you have Mr. Kim, and Olivier's strength is stronger than expected...... There is still hope. "The bottom line is, you have a reason to win, right?" ”
"yes...... It's all come to this point, there's nothing to be afraid of. Estelle patted her cheek vigorously, "By the way, you're waiting here early in the morning...... Did you deliberately cheer us on? ”
"If I go to look for you, I'll go straight to your hotel." Helliga winked mischievously, "After all, I sent the letter." Actually, I'm waiting for another friend here. Don't worry, I'll be watching you perform. Pulling the pass out of his bosom and shaking, Heiliga smiled.
"Ah...... Thank you! Estelle's cheeks flushed a little with excitement, "Wait for our good news!" ”
"Ah, yes." Heliga seemed to suddenly remember something, "Did Miss Yulia tell you...... Questions about Colonel Richard? ”
"What's the problem?" Joshua was confused.
"It doesn't seem to be said...... Or maybe it's too late. "Estelle, do you remember how you felt when you fought with Arnelath?" ”
"Ah...... Of course I remember......" Estelle pulled her face, "Sister Yaniras's attack is very fast, and it is difficult to parry......"
"Then you have to be mentally prepared...... "Helliga shook his head, "after all, in the kingdom's martial arts circles, he is known for his extremely fast sword drawing technique...... The speed is not inferior to that of Anirath, and the strength and skill of her attacks are likely to be superior to that of Anirath...... Although this possibility is very small, if you encounter it, if you are not mentally prepared enough, you will suffer a big loss. ”
“…… I understand, I'll talk to Mr. Kim about it. Joshua nodded, this information was something they didn't know before.
"That's good......" Hailiga bowed his head, and then smiled: "Come on, I wish you good luck." ”
——————————————————————————
"Whew...... They're gone......" Seeing Estelle and Joshua disappear from sight along with Kim and Olivier, who had come to meet him, Haley let out a long breath and walked back to Fey, who had fallen into a semi-comatose state: "Now wait here before the finals start to test my suspicions." ”
"What...... What...... Guess ...... "Fei's voice is inaudible, like a kitten who has been running all night and is lazy during the day.
"Ah...... This is too exaggerated...... "It may be that the overwork in the past few days has made Fei's accumulated fatigue even worse, and Helliga finally helped her down and lay on the bench in the small courtyard and let her sleep a little longer, "But forget it, there is actually no need to fight ...... next"
For Hyliga, everything is now in place, and there is only one thing left to prove his judgment.
As long as there are some familiar figures, if they appear here today-
That meant that Richard would carry out the most risky part of his entire plan.
Once this part succeeded, he nominally controlled the supreme power of the kingdom. As for how to deal with the resistance of all parties and how to deal with the doubts of Cassius and others, that is all for later.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, two familiar figures appeared in the corresponding position of the gate of the box stand on the second floor of this park, which completely confirmed Heiliga's judgment - Richard, he was going to do it.
Because, the director of the Madoc Workshop in Chase City, and the principal of Janis Royal College in Luan, Corinth, both appeared in the crowd.
