Chapter 528: 528

The Bloody Night Has Arrived

“Urgent report!”

The news of the fleet invading Goethe’s territorial waters spread to Lucerne as quickly as possible.

After all, it was a national defense matter.

Moreover, there were also other countries secretly adding fuel to the fire.

The ships of the various countries that were patrolling the international waters moved out at the same time. They were pressing forward step by step. They had obviously received some information, but they were still wary. The Forbidden Spell that Kant had cast in the Broken Sea was enough to intimidate the decision-makers of the various countries. A tsunami of that level could destroy any coastal city in the world.

Therefore, before they completely tore apart their faces, they had to test and exert pressure.

He also had to know his limits.

They wanted to confirm the most important information.

That was, whether Kant was trapped in the underground world and unable to return.

To achieve such a goal, the best weapon would be the backlash from within Goethe. By using the rumors and turmoil of the Goethe people to pressure Tedarell, the criticism and rumors would eventually be transmitted to Kant. If he still maintained his mobility and autonomy, then that would happen.

Otherwise…He really wouldn’t be able to come out.

As for the consequences of the plan failing? There was no need to care at all.

He was merely using connections, money, and promises to get some of Goethe’s internal speculators to do things. Would Kant activate a forbidden spell for such a trivial matter? The reason why the Sword of Intimidation was called the Sword of Intimidation was that it had never really slashed down. Before it slashed down, both sides would be wary of it.

Even if he was furious, he was just venting his anger on those stupid Goethe fence-sitters.

What did it matter?

Thus, reports on the various countries ‘movements were placed on Goethe’s desk.

The dynasty’s border troops were being deployed on a large scale, and the dynasty’s patrols were openly entering the country to investigate. Needless to say, the various countries ‘fleets were gradually approaching the territorial waters.

Such information was not only sent to the archdukes, but it also appeared in the salons of the nobles, in the whispers of the taverns, in the meeting rooms of the officials ‘residences, and then all kinds of rumors.

For example, the help of the people of Aurora was not pure.

This was because there was no love without reason in this world. He was not helping Goethe for Princess Tina’s sake. He had other intentions. As a noble of Aurora, he needed power to recover his home and expel evil. Goethe had such power, and it was hidden underground in the Blue Wave Province.

It was a mysterious substance that had been dormant for a long time. It could strengthen the power of spellcasters and promote the advancement of magic techniques. Kant had come for this treasure. He had helped Goethe only reason he wanted to gain the trust of the Tedarell family. Now, the news had been leaked and everyone knew about it. Kant only wanted to keep it for himself and did not want to share it with other countries or even Goethe. He would leave immediately after obtaining the treasure and return to Aurora.

Goethe would be left behind and face the wrath and revenge of the various countries alone.

The evidence was that even though the situation was unstable and the other countries were threatening him, he still did not appear.

The archduke and Princess Tina had been deceived by him. First, they had become enemies with the elves. Then, they had offended the dragons. They had even been rude to the representatives of the council. They had threatened the Broken Islands and even the empire. They were enemies everywhere. They were just pawns that Kant had used. He would leave after he succeeded. He did not care what happened to Goethe.

Because he was from Aurora.

Aurora was his country.

Such rumors ranged from conspiracy theories to nationalism, plus a little instigation and instigation. Under the tacit cooperation of foreign forces, the rumors spread fiercely.

From commoners to nobles, from commoners to officials.

This was just a rumor that could not be justified logically.

But logic was never necessary for rumors.

Fear and prejudice were.

To deal with most people, there was no need for such high-level items.

Tina’s study.

Ever since the bus left the Signet Ring, this was the place where Maple Leaf Palace issued its decrees. Archduke Rechnos did not meet outsiders anymore and ordered the courtiers to hand over all the administrative matters to Tina. The cumbersome matters of post-war reconstruction could be handed over to the courtiers and the City Hall officials to carry out, but the internal backlash and rumors were the sharpest daggers. Now, they were like poisonous snakes stabbing at Goethe’s little princess, and she needed to make an immediate decision.

” The consultation documents from the great nobles and governors of the neighboring provinces have been sent over.”

The Snowfall Sword Saint took a look and sighed.” The situation is not right. The Arcane Magic Council has also taken action. They have influenced the Spell Casters of Lucerne through their huge social connections. The Magic Legion and the academic leaders of the various universities are also preparing to formally inquire about this matter. Compared to these, the rumors spread in the folk taverns, arenas, guilds, and theaters are the most difficult to deal with. You know, the rats in the shadows…”

Kant’s Forbidden Spell had shattered the ocean’s surface, deterring them from going into the sea. The tsunami that had been created had almost completely destroyed the functions of the largest cargo transit port in the Western Sea. Many ships had been damaged, resulting in countless losses in their businesses. They were afraid of the power of the Forbidden Spell and had no choice but to swallow their anger when faced with Kant. However, now was a good time. They would definitely take advantage of the chaos and throw a few stones into the well.

Tina was expressionless as she tore a beautifully decorated letter into pieces.

Sylmeria shook her head.

Ever since the rumors began to spread, letters were sent to the palace one after another. Famous mages, prestigious old nobles, retired veterans, and reputable philanthropists, some were beating around the bush, some were aggressive, and some were even reprimanding. They wanted a clear explanation from Tedarell.

Even though Kant had done the country a favor, he could not ask for repayment in such an unacceptable way. Furthermore, the underground treasure that contained unknown substances was in Goethe’s territory. It was up to all Goethe people to decide its ownership. Outsiders could not be allowed to touch it at will.

Even though Tina had explained and comforted him in the name of the archduke, it still could not quell the doubts.

After all, many people were not true patriots. They loved their family, power, and wealth more than their motherland. When the former was bound to the latter, they were the most determined patriots. However, when the outside world gave promises and preferential treatment, the change of position only took an instant.

It was a very simple logic.

During the War of Songmoon, the country was on the verge of destruction. Kant had saved the country at the last moment and turned the tide. However, after feeling relieved, endless fear welled up in their hearts. Many people were already afraid of being beaten. They could not tolerate the danger and fear of being destroyed again. Then, surrender and appeasement would rise.

How could he ensure that he would not face the danger of death, destruction of the country, and destruction of the family?

It was simple.

As a dog, he just needed to find a strong master.

The Empire, the Council, and even Sunset Moon.

As long as the mission was completed, the promise would be fulfilled. He would go to the most powerful country and receive the protection of the powerful. He would have more power and wealth in a greater country, continue his family, and live in peace.

He only needed to complete the mission.

He would incite, instigate, and force the ignorant and unruly people to charge into the enemy’s line of battle. He would make the true patriots be attacked from both sides, and he would make Tedarell fall into a storm of doubt and dilemma.

As for Kant and the future of this country? There was no hope. No matter how strong a Forbidden Mage was, he would not be able to protect a country. Even if there was that unknown mysterious substance, he would not be able to maintain his independence from the wolves. Even if it was possible, why would he take the risk?

I left this small country and went to the free city-states under the protection of the Arcane Magic Council. I went to the rich big cities of the Empire, and I could still live a superior life without having to be afraid.

He only needed to complete the mission.

With a bang, Tina’s fist hit the table.

“It’s useless to be angry, you…” Sylmeria said helplessly.

She hesitated for a moment before saying,” The situation is not looking good. You should consider how to deal with it. Goethe is too weak at this gambling table. He has no bargaining chips and can only protect himself. The one with the real bargaining chip is Kant. As long as we insist that he succeeds and returns, all the danger will be solved.”

Tina raised her head, and her beautiful blue eyes were surging with a tide-like light.

“What do you want to say, Auntie?” she asked calmly.

The Sword Saint of the Snowfall Sword hesitated for a while before he rolled his eyes and gave up on himself. I’ll be the villain! I have no conscience! But I still have to say it! We have no other choice but to stall for time. Don’t these people want an explanation?

Weren’t they protesting something? Then let’s do as they wish.”

” We can verbally cut ties with Kant. We can even promise to share the mysterious elements with the other countries, develop them together, and refute the rumors. That way, those idiots won’t be able to make a fuss. We’ll stall for a few days and there’ll be results. When Kant returns, they won’t dare to say anything even if we go back on our word…”

Tina’s expression was calm. Her beautiful face was as calm as a snowy mountain. Then, she said calmly,” What if Kant doesn’t come back? Our explanation is even better. We can then negotiate with the other countries and give up the development rights. We can even join the Empire or Sunset Moon in exchange for protection…Is that what Auntie means?”

” What nonsense are you talking about?!” Sylmeria was stunned. I have faith in Kant! However, what else could he do in this situation? The last time he came back, he also said that if there was a need, we could pretend to draw a clear line with him to buy time. He…”

“Just because he said it doesn’t mean we can do it with a clear conscience,” Tina said calmly.

” You’re back!” The Sword Saint of Snowfall covered his head.” You’re back again!”

“.. Aunt, we should have died a long time ago.”

Tina slowly got up. Her fingers slid across the thick and warm table. She turned her head and looked outside. She saw the beautiful walls, buildings, and pavilions of Maple Leaf Palace.” Kant saved us. Otherwise, those who wrote the letters, those who spread rumors, and those who criticized Kant would most likely be dead.”

” You and I both know that rumors are not worth laughing at. Kant’s actions are for the future of Goethe’s country. I know what he’s thinking. He wants Goethe to become a rich and powerful country. He’s fighting for this goal. Therefore, those who doubt, criticize, and question, whether it’s out of malice or stupidity, such actions are unforgivable.”

” Letting these scumbags and idiots live in the peaceful country that was exchanged for by the sacrifices of Oakland, the handmaiden, the captain, the Penguin, the Valentan, and all the other sacrifices in this war is a humiliation and disrespect to the sacrifices and brave people.”

” Think about it. If we compromise with them and Kant returns, they will continue to worship the Skyquaking Dragon and enjoy the benefits of the leap in national strength brought about by the mysterious elements. They will be able to forget the despicable and betrayal they once had…Just thinking about this makes me want to throw up.”

Her slender fingers curled into fists.

Tina said softly,” Those who wrote the letter must die. After Kant succeeds, this country will welcome a transformation and change. It’s inevitable that there will be conflicts. It’s good to get rid of some dregs in advance.”

Hearing this, the Snowfall Sword Saint’s expression changed.

“You want to suppress it with force?” she asked in surprise. Now was not the time! Those schemers would love for you to do such a thing! If you dare to send people to kill them, there will be trouble!”

Tina said coldly,” Second Brother’s Gladiolus Legion is in the city. Kant has received the recognition of the Divine Star Right Ring, and the Sun Church has a very good impression of him. Big Sister is still in the Church, and they will help us. Now that these scums have not finished their connections, and the rumors have not become a big fire, it’s time to take the initiative to attack.”

She turned her head and looked at her aunt with lightning like eyes.

The Goethe Flower, the most beautiful and pure little princess, had now revealed her talents.

” After all, if we speak out to appease him, or even hide in the shadows, the outside world will think that we are guilty and that Kant is doomed…Only the most decisive and brutal bloody suppression, settlement, and execution can deter those idiots who have been incited by rumors and buy us more time.”

Her tone was firm and resolute, and there was a hint of blood in it.

Sylmeria was stunned.

After a moment, she slowly said,”But I think…” You just want to kill people.”

Tina’s eyes flickered for a moment.

Then, a smile that could topple a country slowly appeared.

“Yes, I am.” She smiled brightly.” I want to kill these idiots who criticized Kant and questioned his sacrifice and contributions. I want them dead immediately. I want them dead. Even if I don’t kill them now, I will find an opportunity to get rid of them one by one in the future. I will capture everyone related to the rumors. I will make them report everyone who dares to spread the rumors. I will search for them, take revenge, and execute them.”

“How can an ungrateful person live in this country? Aunt, the more I understand the truth of this country, the more I understand Goethe’s limits. There’s a reason why this country has fallen to this state, its national strength has declined, it’s been bullied by the elves, betrayed by the empire, and watched coldly by the entire world.”

The Sword Saint of Snowfall looked at his niece. What are you trying to say?”

” Kill them all, clean up the house, and wait for Kant to welcome the new era.”

Tina giggled.” Or perhaps, their blood can be used as a memorial for Kant and my funeral. It can be used as an elegy for the demise of Goethe and even Tedarell. Wouldn’t that be good?”

The archduke’s adopted sister’s body trembled.

Funeral.

She saw the madness in Tina’s eyes.

He understood what she meant.

If Kant had really met with misfortune, Tina would definitely not have survived. If that was the case, then what was the big deal about killing a mountain of corpses and blood?

Tina smiled and sat back at the table, picking up her pen.

It was dipped in red ink.

” No one will carry out such an order,” Sylmeria said in a deep voice.” You have to calm down. I suggest that we hold an internal family meeting in Tedarell.”

“Father gave me the signet ring and the power,” Tina said.

“He can also take it back.” ” Kant doesn’t want you to do that,” said Sylmeria.

” Does Kant want to see us draw a clear line between us and him, or even betray him?”

“That was just an act!”

“Even if it’s fake!”

The Snowfall Sword Saint reached out and held Tina’s right wrist.” Wake up. In your heart, Kant is already more important than this country. If you are just a princess, it doesn’t matter. However, if you are wearing a power ring, you can’t have such thoughts! Your elder brother and elder sister will oppose it, and no one will carry it out. You…”

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and a quiet voice came through.

The princess’s eyes flashed.

“Please come in!”

she shouted.

The door was pushed open. Hong San was dressed in military attire, holding a helmet and carrying an exaggeratedly large heavy rifle on his back. There was even a bayonet that was even more powerful than a machete at the muzzle.

He strode in and raised his hand in greeting.

“Princess.” He said,” Prince Kant’s subordinates, the Blizzard Legion, the Valentan Guards Mechanized Brigade, the Mengsk Cannon Brigade, and the Green Skinned Spear Squad, have already arrived outside Lucerne City. We have been ordered by Prince Kant to return from the Blue Wave Province overnight and await your orders!”

Tina’s face was flushed with joy and happiness.

Sylmeria’s expression suddenly changed.

“Hong San! Tina wants to send troops to suppress and massacre the rumors and critics. You should know the consequences of doing so. Do you have to listen to such an order?”

“I have a general understanding of the matter.”

Hong San pondered for a moment and replied,” It’s good to kill them. With Your Highness’s ambition, you will have to draw a clear line sooner or later. You will have to let those greedy and unfaithful Goethe people understand some truths. The favors Your Highness gives have a price. He is not just a benevolent and loving savior. We have to show these people the knife.”

“You!” Sword Saint Snowfall was shocked and furious.

” I understand the Sword Saint’s concerns, but we are His Highness Kant’s sharp blades. We are brandishing them to protect His Highness. If it’s not convenient for Goethe to be killed, we will do it. If you don’t dare to do it, we will do it.”

The real person from Aurora bowed.” My retainer Hong San, I’m willing to listen to your plans and plans. I’ll use a tiny bit of intelligence to check for any loopholes and carry them out with all my might…” Madam.”

The bloody night had arrived.

In Blue Wave Province, Stella mobilized the army and retreated to the capital of Blue Wave Province to show the evidence to the governor. She also sent messengers to warn the fleets of other countries to be careful.

They were also ordered not to invade the Goethe Sea.

The messenger also rushed to Lucerne. She needed Goethe to warn the various forces at the national level. She hoped that she could make it in time.

Lily and Horus rushed to the dragon army in the outer seas, but they were rejected. The dragon army denied that there were any dragons coming to seek refuge. Even after seeing Horus ‘video evidence, they were not bothered.

The Dragon Emperor was still on his way. He could not directly order the conservative dragon army.

Everything was slipping into the abyss.

In the underground world, Kant went downstream and found the source of the Purple River.
