Diablo Destruction

Chapter 219 Confrontation

The palace gate is in front of them, and the mercenaries around them are breathing rapidly. This is not the life-and-death fight with monsters that they usually come into contact with, but it is more dangerous. Once the whereabouts are revealed, everyone will face countless angry soldiers coming over. , there are many strong men of mercenary level among them. Even with their strength, it is unlikely to escape from the encirclement.

They are not afraid of death, but are nervous, scared, and even excited about their participation in such a treasonous action. Mercenaries are a group of contradictory creatures living in the gap between job transferees and soldiers. They do not have the strength of job transferees. , but they have to face the same enemies as the job transferees. They are stronger than soldiers, but their lives are more fragile. They do not have the unruly strength of job transferees, nor the strong sense of discipline and responsibility of soldiers. The existence of The conflict is like that of a rebellious teenager, who is trying every possible means to resist, but is also afraid of actually making a huge mistake.

These dozen mercenaries are all wearing close-fitting leather armor, which is the uniform of patrol soldiers often seen on Lugaoyin Street. Their faces illuminated by the fire reveal a solemn and ferocious look, making them look more handsome. A bit like soldiers, as the team approached, the leading mercenaries were finally stopped by the guards at the palace gate. At this time, the organizer stepped forward and said something to the guards. He stood too far away, and I didn’t Listen clearly, but there is someone next to you who definitely knows, and can even recite their dialogue lines by heart, because she planned all of this.

I couldn't help but turned my head and glanced at her. She was still standing next to me, with her head lowered, letting the firelight reflect from the cloak and hat hanging below her eyelashes. She kept using the little hand connected to me as if she would lose it once she let go. The strength that had lost its way clung to my cloak, no, harder than before. Her little body was trembling, and her pale hands, which were slightly sweaty, conveyed her nervousness and uneasiness at the moment.

Even though she was 100% confident in her plan, she was still just a 15-year-old girl. In the original world, a girl of this age would probably still be secretly flipping through the fashion magazines half hidden in the drawer in class, using Look at the popular movie stars, beautiful clothes and expensive cosmetics with envy, and sigh while feeling sentimental or dreaming about Prince Charming.

Just for a moment I was stunned. The negotiation was over. The soldier guarding the gate stepped back a few steps and bowed respectfully, making a sign to invite us in. If he knew what we were going to do now, he might be so frightened that he would duck. After safely passing this level, the team continued to march in single file, feeling that the little hands holding the cloak behind them had loosened up a bit.

Everything is this magical Sanwu Princess - please allow me to use the word magical to describe her. Even after Ryan's explanation and many of her careful arrangements, I, a college student whose logical thinking has been constantly tempered by exam-oriented education, was confused. I couldn't understand its ingenuity at all, even if I use my poor language to describe it. It's probably like understanding the complicated rules in the palace beforehand and then taking advantage of them. Even if there is any slight omission in these links, our group of conspicuous beings will be immediately seen through and surrounded. Then he was hanged on the spot for treason.

Even so, this seemingly dangerous and absurd action was actually supported by the steady Ryan, and he successfully persuaded Prince Aziz, a nobleman who could tell at a glance that he was greedy for life and afraid of death, to take risks, no matter from which angle. After analysis, there is only one answer, and that is that the layout of Princess Sanwu is so perfect that no one can find any reason to refuse.

Therefore, now we can walk towards the main road leading to Jehain's palace. The palace, which is usually heavily guarded, was extremely quiet at the moment, and you could hear a pin drop. Occasionally, a few patrolling soldiers passed by, and when they saw a group of us, they seemed to take it for granted, and even nodded to us in a friendly way.

But speaking of it, if it can be done to this extent, isn't there an easier way? For example, a random expert could be sent in to make Jie Hein disappear...

Unfortunately. Such an approach will definitely be opposed. Because someone with this level of strength must at least be a job changer. This would easily make others suspect that the Adventurers Alliance was involved. Moreover, unless Jehain is killed and just makes him disappear, there is no good reason to replace Prince Aziz immediately. This will also create a leaderless situation and plunge the entire Western Kingdom into turmoil. Combining many factors, instigating Aziz Although the prince's method of usurping the throne is a big twist, it is undoubtedly a safer approach. Not only can it avoid chaos in the kingdom, but the high profile of the usurping of the throne can also conceal the fact that the Adventurer Alliance is involved, making others think that this is just a conspiracy. It's just fratricide that's all too common among royal families.

"You guys go first and I'll arrange the arrangements a little bit."

There was no one around, I suddenly stopped and said.

"It's all done."

The organizer nodded to me. The division of labor for this operation is detailed. I am responsible for fighting. I am free to use any method as long as it does not affect the plan. They will not interfere, just like I have no interest in interfering with them. What method will be used to "persuade" Jie Hain to surrender?

After they walked away, I discovered that the little one behind me was still holding on to her cloak from that square to here. She was so accustomed to the existence of this little tail that she didn't even realize that she was there. by my side.

"Why don't you follow them? Aren't you worried about your father, so we followed them?" I looked at this little tail that couldn't be shaken off with a headache.

"No, nothing can be done without you here."

She suddenly raised her head, looked straight at me with her overly beautiful eyes, and said categorically, her face, which was more delicate than milk, looked particularly beautiful in the darkness.

Staring at those firm eyes, I suddenly noticed her thoughts - even if I followed her, if those people wanted to break their promise and insist on killing her father, I would not be able to stop it with my own strength. It would be better to do it from the beginning. Relying on someone and expecting him to do something for you is at least more trustworthy.

Hey hey. This childish feeling of being trusted is really satisfying. Although I don’t have any thoughts about this Sanwu Princess, seeing her wholeheartedly relying on me, it feels like she is being betrayed by a particularly picky weirdo. After praising her, the man's sense of accomplishment instantly overflowed, and he couldn't help but feel an urge to do something for her.

So, I happily caressed her little head, and said honestly and politely: "You little one. You look so stupid, but I didn't expect you to be quite shrewd at the critical moment."

"Puff--" She kept stroking her soft little head, with a satisfied expression on her face. She tilted her head and gently pressed against my palm, as if to say, touch her for a while longer. Please touch it gently for a while.

"You like this look?" I kept complying with her silent request. He rubbed her head carefully with his big hands like praising a puppy, and asked curiously.

"Father, it's been a long time since I've been praised like this -" She narrowed her eyes comfortably.

Emotions have been pretended to be that of a father. Am I really that old? I was petrified on the spot, my fragile heart shattered into powder.

"Xiao Wu. After returning to the wild, you must change your mind and become a wolf again. Don't eat unclean meat. Remember to put away your clothes on rainy days. The first wolf pup must not give birth to a boy..."

I touched Xiao Wu's head and tried to make a sad farewell gesture. The person involved, Xiao Wu, and Princess Sanwu standing beside me both looked at me in confusion and curiosity.

Forget it, no one would cooperate with me even if I spoke such a conversation full of complaints. I lowered my head in frustration. It seemed that I couldn't keep up with myself in this era.

After Xiao Wu's figure disappeared into the dense forest, I clapped my hands. He smiled confidently.

"Okay, everything is ready. Now let's see how our Prince Az is progressing."

Jiehain's Palace is located in the northeast corner of the palace. Almost every night, Jiehein would handle state affairs here until late at night, if he were not too suspicious and too sensitive to adventurers. It can indeed be said that he is a good king worthy of praise.

And at this moment. The palace that should have been quiet was brightly lit and crowded. On the high platform inside the hall, Jehain stood high on it, looking down at the rebels below with a calm face. Around him, seven or eight senior mercenary-level warriors were holding weapons and fighting with Prince Aziz's mercenaries. The teams were facing each other. No matter how perfect Princess Sanwu's plan was, it would be impossible to mobilize the guards around Jehain. The so-called inevitable casualties meant this was the situation.

"Sure enough, it was you. I didn't expect that, my dear cousin, you would be the first person to betray me."

There was such a big commotion, and no soldier except his own bodyguard came forward to protect him. Jehein's expression changed and he said harshly, if eyes could kill, Prince Aziz must have been cut to pieces by a thousand cuts.

"Haha, I can't help it. This position is so attractive. You should change your position after sitting there for so long. I think you should know the current situation better than me. I advise you to surrender obediently and stop doing it. It’s a pointless struggle, but I can still spare the lives of you and your wife, children, and children.”

Prince Aziz's proud laughter came, what's going on? This kind of bloody lines that are widely used by cannon fodder-type villains is too out of style. Can't there be some innovative thinking? I never expected that I would cooperate with such a fool.

"Hmph, you damn rebel, you still dare to talk so shamelessly."

A sharp look flashed across Jehein's eyes. He was obviously at a disadvantage, but he didn't feel nervous at all. Those gloomy eyes were full of anger and murderous intent, but there was no trace of panic. He waved his hand and looked. He even planned to take the initiative. What made him so confident?

"You mercenaries!!"

Prince Aziz pointed at the guards beside Jehain and said.

"Do you still want to support this foolish king? You must be aware of what Jehein has done. If he is allowed to continue like this, within a few years, the entire Western Kingdom will be overwhelmed by the anger of adventurers. As a member of the kingdom, People, can you bear to see your motherland perish? You must know that as a qualified soldier, what you should defend is not this throne, nor your king, but the entire Western Kingdom. You are now What you do will only make your relatives, friends, and the people of the entire kingdom cry and be spurned."

Prince Aziz's sonorous and powerful eyes were directed at the mercenaries. You can see that they were obviously shaken. Being able to become mercenaries can at least prove that they are not slow-minded. The crisis the kingdom is facing now, as mercenaries, They saw it more clearly than others. They may have complained about Jie Hain's actions. They showed their wavering emotions between being loyal to the emperor and defending the country.

"I know Jie Hain is kind to you, and I can understand your current mood. Therefore, you don't need to do anything. As long as you stand in a neutral position and don't help each other, no one will say anything. You are treacherous, and after this is over, I will still award you the Medal of Honor."

Prince Aziz has a very thorough grasp of human nature. When the mercenaries were shaken by the dilemma of loyalty to the emperor and defending the country, he proposed this seemingly neutral compromise, but in fact it had completely pulled them to his side.

"You shouldn't judge a person by his appearance. You have really good taste."

Gee, this eloquence is almost as good as that of an MLM master. I patted the little one’s head again and praised it, and then quietly stepped inside.

"Haha - cousin, your eloquence is really good. Even I was almost convinced by you. But, even if what you said is true, so what, do you think you can really win?"

Jehein had a ferocious look on his face, and after hearing these words, the expressions of the mercenaries around him changed obviously, as if they suddenly remembered something, they clenched the weapons in their hands again.

Defending the country? Before that, at least you have to save your own life. If you can't win, everything is empty talk. Their unwavering eyes clearly expressed this meaning.

"Dear cousin, let me tell you how stupid you are. I can't wait to see you look like a lost dog, haha——"

Jehein seemed to have seen Prince Az kneeling at his feet crying and begging for mercy. He laughed crazily. With that laughter, three figures slowly walked out from behind the screen behind him.

The appearance scenes are also very bloody. Is it really just a supporting role...? Looking at the three figures, my eyes gradually narrowed.
