Chapter Seventy-Three: Eve
As the midday sun shone on the kingdom of Shakdam, and when the inhabitants were in full swing preparing for their birthday a week later, the people who symbolized the pinnacle of the three powers of the kingdom walked into a nondescript shop in the market area. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ Info Passing through a long, dark passageway, they gathered in the basement of the shop.
The atmosphere in the basement was very solemn, and the knights from different kingdoms on the continent wiped the weapons in their hands, but no one spoke. Because their leader, the founder of the Underground Knights Guild of Shakdam, and the only one in the kingdom who dared to take the lead against the Knight King, Ben Don Quixote told them that this time, the scales of victory would fall to them.
No nobleman could endure the rotten, turbid air, and no one believed that Archduke Fisher and Archduke Edward would one day be able to sit peacefully at the same table. Especially in the market area, where the aristocracy often disdained.
Shakdam's cyan and red heritage, coupled with the leader of the Underground Knights' Guild, it is no exaggeration to say that the "big shots" who appear here control more than seventy percent of the kingdom's troops. Even so, the faces of the two Grand Dukes were still full of unease.
No one knew better than them what a valiant knight Reinhardt had been, and no one knew better than them how terrifying the monster that had wreaked havoc on the entire kingdom.
Archduke Fischer's hand tapped rhythmically on the map of Shakdam on the wooden table, on which Ben-Don Quixote was densely filled with annotations, from the weaknesses of the royal garrison to the weaknesses of each archduke's castle. For the first time, they intuitively realized what a difficult character the rebel leader, who had caused them more than a dozen troubles, was.
If it weren't for Reinhardt's power, I'm afraid this kingdom would have been brought down by Ben-Quixote.
"The only thing that surprised me was that the Grand Duke who was moved by Tyr turned out to be you. β
Fisher glanced at Edward, who was leaning on the backrest and not knowing what he was thinking, he had expected that the person who appeared here would be Fernans, after all, only their older generation had a strong sense of belonging to the kingdom of the past. Ironically, they finally reached a consensus on the matter of the "coup".
Edward smiled disappreciatively, "Don't think the same as you, I'm not the kind of person who talks about the glory of my family all day long, and the reason why I stand with you is because I'm tired of this hypocritical kingdom for a long time." β
He was worried about something else.
Even if they eventually defeat Reinhardt in this world, they will inevitably have to reconfront Reinhardt in the "real" world. And then, they lose their eligibility to be "born again".
Therefore, for him, the end of this world is the beginning of real war.
Lin Qiu tapped the table and attracted everyone's attention: "Let me repeat, your purpose is not to take off Reinhardt's head, in this world, even if you can really slash him, the damage caused will be vain. And even if you are killed, you will wake up in the blink of an eye, and you will be in your mansion again. β
"The only purpose of this coup d'Γ©tat is to make Princess Rose realize that everything she believes is just a dream that Reinhardt has woven for her alone. And the moment she confessed, it was the time when the kingdom fell apart. β
Ben-Don Quixote nodded in agreement, and he had been thinking about it seriously after Lin Qiu told him about the origin of this kingdom. If Princess Rose, who is the Origin, is shaken, then the illusion of the entire kingdom will also be destroyed: "But the key is how to make Princess Rose question all this...... Does Tinder really work?"
"I think the current meeting has answered your question...... As for how to make the princess 'see' everything, it is up to Archduke Edward. β
Edward subconsciously asked, "Me?"
"Do you think Reinhardt is stupid enough for me to swagger close to Princess Rose? And I, I must show up with Ben on the frontal battlefield, otherwise he will never leave Princess Rose half a step. β
To Lin Qiu's surprise, Edward didn't ask for details, but suddenly asked, "What about after that? I mean, after we overthrew Reinhardt's kingdom and woke up from the dream...... At that point, we're no longer immortal, are we?"
Archduke Edward made everyone stagnate, and his question was also the question of many rebels. The reason why they dared to kill Reinhardt without fear of death was because they knew that after a short period of darkness, they would wake up again.
But this time is different, when this kingdom collapses, if Reinhardt is killed again, it will be real death.
The suffocating silence did not last long, and Grand Duke Fisher suddenly stood up and said to the rebels who were waiting for an answer: "Everyone is trapped here now, and the old man is to blame, so leave the finishing matter to the Slark family." When you wake up, be sure to flee to Sandstone Town, where there is still one of the old man's men, and he will definitely try his best to help everyone!"
Even Edward was stunned by Fisher's words.
Everyone knows what it will be like to stay and fight against Reinhardt.
The beginning and end of everything finally became clear at this moment - the people of the Spade Guild heard the news of the Soul Suppression Jade, and mistakenly thought that this jade was on the son of Grand Duke Fisher, so they killed him. In order to pass on the news of his death, he handed over the seal of the Slark family to the Soldering Iron, and by the time the Soldering Iron arrived in Sandstone, the father of the Tavernkeeper, one of Grand Duke Fisher's men, had died.
That's why the boss has such a detailed map of Shakdam, and his father has always wanted to return to Shakdam.
The treasure of the Slark family mentioned by the soldering iron is undoubtedly the soul suppression jade.
Lin Qiu didn't expect that he would teach a bully a lesson, but he would be involved in such a family-country entanglement.
"The men you mentioned have been killed in a monster attack. β
Hearing this, Fisher's face darkened.
His sons, his subordinates, and everyone who came into contact with the Soul Suppression Jade left him one after another, and at this moment, he was left alone in the huge Slark family. And he is about to die in this war.
He still remembered the old king's entrustment when he handed over the soul suppression jade to him.
"Fisher, even if Shakdam is destroyed, as long as the Soul Suppressor Jade remains, I believe that you will one day be able to help Rose rebuild Shakdam......"
The old king, who was stubborn and refused to leave the palace an inch, finally sank to the bottom of the sand with his country.
"Grand Duke Fisher, you don't have to rush to death, Reinhardt, you will not spare me, the sinner who destroyed his kingdom...... And I happen to have a grudge with him. β
"Master, you shouldn't be thinking about ......"
The voice of the deep sea sounded deep inside him.
"The Deep Sea, although this kingdom is false, Reinhardt is a real Templar. So, if you really get to that situation, please don't hesitate in the slightest. β
For Shakdam, he was just a passerby. What has happened in this kingdom, or what is about to happen, has nothing to do with him.
And his purpose has always been to bring Alyssa back to the imperial capital alive.
