Chapter 66: Rem's Compromise
The white fox collared underground dungeon, a middle-aged man who was locked in handcuffs and shackles made of diamonds heard a sudden loud noise, raised his head blankly, he looked at the dust and stone chips that kept falling on the wall in front of the cell, and then there was a loud noise, a huge spider web-like crack appeared, he looked at this scene in surprise, you must know that this wall is made of granite several meters thick, and then inject the solid magic of the earth system into it, even the heaven-level master can't destroy it, but this increasingly bigger crack in front of him makes him think: Could it be that the strong man of the Holy Domain is coming, but this is impossible, I have never known such a powerful person, how could someone come to save him.
"Boom", the wall finally shattered, a burning fist stretched out from the broken hole, and then retreated, a figure appeared, and then, I heard the man shout angrily, the powerful shock wave directly blasted the wall to pieces, Rem looked at the figure that came out of the smoke and dust, and shouted incredulously: "Is it you?"
"Are you alright, uncle, you're a lot haggard. Dahl said with a smile, and then he raised his knife and slashed the shackles from him very easily, then put it on his shoulder and asked.
"What's going on?How did you get in?Caliph, what's wrong with them??," Rem asked continuously.
"Isabella is fine, Angel and Sherlock have gone to save her, the hair you said is dead, and all the troops he belongs to, congratulations, uncle. The white fox collar is yours again. Dahl said as he carried Rem outside.
The glare of the sunlight forced Rem to close his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them, he found his soldiers laughing with joy as they gathered around to watch the beheaded caliph and his henchmen.
"This ...... This is?" Rem looked at all this in disbelief, knowing that when the caliph appeared that day, there were four heavenly steps around him, and there was even an even more terrifying sanctuary, but he didn't expect that after a few days, they were all killed. He turned his head to look at Dahl, who was carrying him. I thought to myself: Could it be that this young man did it, but when I saw him a few months ago, he was just a ninth-order peak of the Earth Realm.
"Your Excellency, are you all right?" a greeting interrupted his thoughts. His own clerk came running. Asked with concern. Then he said to Dahl very humbly: "That, Lord Dahl, can you put down my lord." It's a bit indecent. β
"No problem!"
Then, Rem felt the world spinning, his legs were actually standing on the ground, and he seemed to have recovered Liliang, and the torture he had suffered a few days ago was gone.
"...... you?"
"I've given you some energy, nothing!" said Dahl, as Sherlock came to Rem with two beautiful girls in her arms, Isabella cried and threw herself into her father's arms, and Rem cried loudly, father and daughter hugged each other for a long time.
After a while, when Rehm's mood stabilized, several people came to a tent that had been set up temporarily, the female knight named Lola and Larry and others were guarding outside, Kuzan and a group of soldiers were sitting there drinking and farting, Sherlock and Rem sat down one after another, but the atmosphere at this time was somewhat depressing.
"First of all, I xiexie you saved my daughter. Rem was the first to break the awkward atmosphere and stood up and saluted Sherlock and the others.
"Uncle Rem, don't do this, Isabella is a good friend of mine, and of course I will help her in her trouble. Angel said with a smile, when she and Sherlock felt that Isabella was being watched in the room, several Caliph soldiers were about to commit violence against her, and Sherlock would smash them all with a few sword lights, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"You saved Remy, he's like my own son. β
"Zuihouxiexie you saved my White Fox Collar, but you didn't just do it to help my daughter, did I guess right?, Prince Sherlock, Crown Prince of Jetalense?" asked Rem Zuihou, pointing out Sherlock's identity.
"Now that Mr. Rem has picked it up, we won't hide it, yes, we do have our own agendas, but I want to ask Mr. Rem first, what do you think of the current situation?" Sherlock said with a smile.
"What can I think, I will not participate in any Shili hegemony, my allegiance is only to the Sun Empire, no matter who is the king. Rem said softly, squinting at Sherlock.
"Is a country like the Solar Empire really worthy of your allegiance? When we came here a few months ago, we still vividly remembered the scenes of soldiers oppressing the people and doing nothing, and what did we gain from this war that the Solar Empire launched desperately? I think you know better than I do what has happened to your country over the years under your mediocre royal leadership, the regression of national power, the endless wars, and the wails of the people, you don't think you didn't hear it, didn't you see it?" said Sherlock.
"I'm just a small lord, and the decisions of the royal family are not something I can control, I can see and hear them, but so what. At least nothing like this happened in my territory. β
"Really, no? What was the White Fox Collar like before the Caliph they came, and what was it like after they came?"
Rem sighed, and he said, "Your Royal Highness, Prince Sherlock, if you have anything, there is really no point in arguing with each other like this. β
"Mr. Rem, do you have any plans to make yourself king?"
"Absolutely not! I would never do such a rebellious thing!" said Rem angrily.
"So, Mr. Rehm, have you considered leaving this quagmire and going to a quiet place to recuperate, and never ask anything about it?"
"I did, but I couldn't leave my people behind. β
"Mr. Rem. You are a good lord, but a lord like you can't protect his own people, because you lack liliang, you lack liliang to protect them, I have a proposal, I don't know if you would like to listen to it. β
"But it doesn't hurt to say it!"
"Lead your people, lead your White Fox Lords, and join me in the Empire of Jetalens, protected by our Liliang. β
Rem was stunned for a moment, and then Haha's daxiao got up. "Join Jetalens. Your Royal Highness, you are not mistaken, you Jetarence have died in name only, although the Solar Empire is mired in civil strife. But it's a hundred times stronger than you. Even the capital of a country is in the hands of the enemy. What are you talking about protecting us, you can't even protect yourself, Your Royal Highness!"
Dahl on the side snorted a little displeased. Rem suddenly felt a chill, a faint murderous aura enveloped him, and a trace of cold sweat flowed from his forehead.
"Dahl, don't do that, Mr. Rem is right, but he has overlooked the fact that now, at this moment, it is not because of our protection that he can sit here and talk to us, instead of being in the company of rats and cockroaches in that cold water prison. Sherlock said disapprovingly.
Sherlock stood up, and he continued: "Yes, you are right, our motherland was indeed destroyed by your solar empire, but there are still many of our compatriots who are struggling to resist, they are still united, fighting to the death against the invaders, and you, just the destruction of the royal family, immediately fell into a civil war, every shili with some strength is very difficult to set himself up as a king, they fight each other, use each other and betray each other, isn't the caliph an example?"
"And what about our Jatarens, there is a belief in the hearts of our compatriots, that is, the belief in the restoration of the country, and I, Sherlock, am the strongest cornerstone of this belief, and my life means that Jathalence is still alive, and when I raise my arms, our compatriots will gather together to work together for the revival of the motherland, until death, and these are comparable to your solar empire?"
"No, you can't compare at all, you will only fight each other for your own selfish interests, which one of you is really fighting for the country and the people, is there one? Not at all, dare to ask Mr. Rem, one is united, the other is each with a ghost, you say, who is more liliang not to protect the weak people, to protect their own country? This is the difference between our Jetalence and your Sun Empire, this difference is irreparable!"
"Even so, then let me ask you, Your Royal Highness, do you have the liliang to achieve all this?What about your army?What about your masters?Where are they, you know, there are at least ten known Sanctuary masters in the Sun Empire now, although they belong to different shili, but you don't, how do you go about fighting them, tell me!" Rem roared, Sherlock's every word pierced his heart deeply, he knew that what the other party said was not wrong at all, the Sun Empire had already rotted.
"Of course I have my army, of course I have my masters, I wonder if you have heard of the name of the Brilliant Knights?"
Reem's face changed drastically when he heard the words Brilliant Knight, and these four words reminded him of a past that he didn't want to remember.
"As for the master, you have one in front of you, my friend, Dahl, the youngest Sacred Domain on Shijie, his future is limitless, and I still have at least fifty Heavenly Ranks, nearly a thousand Earth Realm Ninth Order Peaks, you should know what a powerful force this is. β
"Hmph, what you said is like a chicken and a dog in front of the Holy Land, and it is not worth mentioning. Rem said excitedly, his words made the faces of the surrounding Heavenly Rank masters darken, especially Kuzan who was drinking outside.
"Yes, but you have to know that my teachers and Dahl's teachers, Star Sword Saint Jialan and Heaven Breaking Fist Saint Aban, are two powerhouses at the peak of the ninth order of the Holy Domain, and they are only one step away from reaching the Divine Realm, and there is one more thing, you may not know, Lord Baran Shelly of the Arbitration Committee is the descendant of the strongest subordinate of our founder of Jetalens, the Brave King Bixia, that is a super master of the Divine Realm, once he comes in person, those Sacred Domains in your mouth are probably not as good as the Native Chicken and Tile Dog, at most ten ants, dare to ask if the ants can defeat the dragonSherlock moved out of the teacher and Baranscheli, he knew that they would not participate in the worldly war, but the current situation in Shijie was a bit chaotic, and the other party did not know this.
Rem really didn't know when he heard that there was a god-level master behind Jetalens. To be honest, he was frightened, although he didn't know how terrifying the God Realm level was, but he had seen the strength of the Holy Domain, an existence that was more powerful than the Holy Domain I don't know how many times, he didn't dare to think about it.
"Mr. Rem, our Liliang is not weak, on the contrary, it is very powerful, but we were caught off guard by the sneak attack of your Sun Empire. But now. The Empire of the Sun never had this opportunity again. Sherlock continued, and he could tell that Rem was shaken.
Rem was silent for a long time, and then he asked, "Are you taking a fancy to the grain production capacity of our White Fox Collar?"
"Yes. The White Fox Collar's food production capacity is second to none in the entire continent. If only I could have such a logistics base. Then my army will no longer be constrained in any way, and they will exert their greatest fighting power to sweep away everything in front of them. β
In fact, Rem's heart has long been disappointed in the Solar Empire. He had long hoped to meet a man who would change all this, and now that this man had appeared, but he was the prince of a hostile country, and if he did, wouldn't it be treason?
"Father, isn't your life's wish to be the happiness of your people? Isn't it the same allegiance to any country? Aren't their people the same human beings, whether it's Jetarance or the Empire of the Sun? Isabella said from the side.
Wake up the people in the dream, yes, no matter what country, what territory, aren't people all people living on this continent? Moreover, the Sun Empire has gone against the grain and has brought great disasters to its own people, and there is a person in front of him who can change everything, and he can't help him to fulfill his dream for many years, and he is working hard for the people of this continent to live a happier life.
Rem's face changed and changed, he gritted his teeth, and asked as if he had made up his mind: "Will you bring happiness to our people? Will you protect them from harm and bullying? Will there never be another tragic situation of women and children freezing to death on the streets because of the war?"
"Of course, I will put an end to all this, and I will build a strong and peaceful nation where people can live happily, whether it be Jetarens, or the Empire of the Sun, or whatever. Sherlock said that since he had a magic sword that could quickly increase his strength, obtained the allegiance of the Brilliant Knight, and the return of Dahl after becoming a Sanctuary, his ambition expanded rapidly, and in Sherlock's heart, he was no longer satisfied with reviving Jetalens, and he had a more ambitious goal in his heart, that is, to unify the entire continent, surpass the achievements of the ancestor Brave King, and become the real first person on this shijie, but he himself did not realize that a sinister evil thought had taken root in his heart, gradually changing everything about himγ
Rem breathed a long sigh of relief, then knelt down on one knee, pressed his right hand on his chest, and said solemnly: "From today on, I, Rem Layden, am willing to submit to the Gertarence Empire, serve His Highness Sherlock Jackalence as the Lord, work hard for the happiness of the people of the entire continent, and shed a drop of blood for the revival of the Gertarence Empire." β
"You made the right decision, uncle. Dahl suddenly interjected from the side, and then, he looked at the sky in the distance, only to see a dazzling golden light appear, and then, in the blink of an eye, a bearded middle-aged strong man appeared in the tent, and Rem looked at the suddenly appeared figure, first with a puzzled expression, and then, with a long mouth, made a voice of unknown meaning, "Ahh
"Well, aren't you the same kid you were forty years ago? It turns out that you are the current lord of the White Fox Lord, and you are an acquaintance!" came the head of the Brilliant Knights, Long Beluk, who smiled and said to Sherlock: " Your Highness, the leaders of the rebels everywhere were excited to hear the news that you were still alive, they have assembled to the Brilliant Castle, it seems that the White Fox Collar has been taken, I have informed Tork and Vegit that they will come as soon as possible with their direct troops, with their two Sanctuaries in charge, there must be no problems here, please leave for the Brilliant Castle with His Highness Dahl, we still have important matters to discuss. β
Rem looked at the bearded man who had brought him horrific memories many years ago, and rejoiced from the bottom of his heart how good his decision was.
"I see, Captain Long. Sherlock turned his head and said to Rehm, " Lord Rem, you continue to stay here, collect grain and grass as soon as possible, we will soon start a war against the Sun Empire, when the time comes, I am afraid that this place will become an enemy attack point, I think, Isabella had better stay with us safer, and also, Cons City and White Rock City are already ours, you have to get in touch with their city lord as soon as possible, and then form a strong defense line with these three territories, as a logistics base for our restoration army, and then speed up the manufacture of food and weapons, but remember, you can't arbitrarily enslave the people, if I know any of you ordinary people who pretend to be in the name of revenge, this is the endγ As he spoke, Sherlock drew his sword, and then a fierce sword aura appeared, cutting a ten-meter-long gap in the ground.
"Yes, Your Highness!" (to be continued......)
