Chapter 419 - Confinement

Apollo stopped them from trying to kill Bulanda, but at this moment, he also felt a little regretful.

It was because he had not thought of a reason to begin with. Instead, he had relied on his own emotions to control the situation. The moment he saw the huge sword swinging towards Bulanda, he subconsciously shouted out.

“If His Majesty were here at this moment, what kind of reason would he give?”

While everyone was still in a daze, Apollo quickly pondered in his heart. He knew that he did not have much time left. At this moment, the huge sword was still on Bulanda’s neck. Everyone was looking at him, waiting for a reasonable explanation.

Apollo had always felt that it was a mistake for His Majesty to give him the deputy commander authority in his absence because he knew clearly how big the gap between him and His Majesty was. Once he encountered such a situation, it would be impossible for him to solve it.

“Apollo.”

Simmons only called out his name once and did not say anything else. However, from the look on Simmons’s face, which seemed like he wanted to say something, Simmons now needed a reasonable explanation.

However, Apollo could not think of a reason at this moment even if he racked his brains. He could not explain the reason behind his decision to spare Bulanda’s life.

He could not just tell everyone the truth, which was he just felt that it was not very good to do so, right?

Apollo paused and tried to imitate His Majesty’s usual calm manner. He said slowly, “This matter is too rushed. We should be more cautious.”

Now, Apollo could not think of any reason to spare Bulanda’s life. He could only use such ambiguous words to stall for time first.

The crowd did not know what to say. His Majesty had previously instructed that if His Majesty was not with them for some reason, then Apollo would be their commander.

When His Majesty was not around, Apollo’s words were equivalent to what His Majesty said.

However, everyone could see that His Majesty did not nurture any commander-type talents when he was in power. The reason why he had instructed Apollo to be the deputy commander was probably based on his combat ability, so as to be able to convince the crowd.

However, combat ability and commanding ability were not the same matter. It was impossible for him not to be dissatisfied with Apollo’s decision at the moment.

His Majesty was still on the fourth level of the Endless Tower and no one knew what kind of danger he was facing. Right now, the only hope for the Sky Dynasty’s people to head to the fourth level was to kill Bulanda, a member of the foreign team. There might still be hope.

At this moment, personal feelings were the second most important thing to consider. The bigger picture was more important, and the best choice was to kill Bulanda.

Although everyone was muttering in their hearts, Apollo’s authority was given by His Majesty himself. Emotionally, everyone wanted to run over and punch Apollo in the face, but from the morality and justice point of view, what they needed to do now was to obey.

“Don’t pity me! Hurry up and do it!”

Everyone had already planned to let Bulanda go, but Bulanda himself seemed to have gone mad at that moment. Both of his hands suddenly grabbed the blade of the huge sword and slashed at his own neck.

That person forcefully pulled the huge sword back.

Blood dripped along his palms, and both of Bulanda’s hands were cut.

Bulanda was stunned for a moment and muttered, “Why are you all so weak? You don’t look like you used to be.”

However, no one paid attention to him. At this moment, everyone had a lot to say in their hearts, but the beach was still quiet.

Those who supported killing Bulanda to give it a try were also a little uncomfortable because of Apollo’s inexplicable order. They thought that doing so might harm His Majesty.

As for those who were more soft-hearted and did not want to kill each other, although they heaved a sigh of relief after seeing Apollo’s order not to kill Bulanda, they also had some concerns in their hearts. If, because of their emotions and they missed out the right course of action, that would be a bad thing.

“Take him down, lock him up in the tower, and make a long-term plan.”

Seeing the current atmosphere, if Apollo did not say anything, then the group would probably collapse at this moment. He therefore ordered them to lock Bulanda up first.

He felt that this was a compromise plan.

However, there was no place to lock up people in this d*mn place. The only thing that could be used was the three towers left by His Majesty.

A few people walked up, held Bulanda down, and brought him to the tower.

The so-called towers were actually made of the bones of the giant monkey. The bone marrow in the middle had been hollowed out. At this moment, it was like three giant chimneys standing next to the Great Wall.

The few of them circulated their divine power and used a lot of strength to lift the tower.

Bulanda also seemed to have lost his soul and walked in by himself.

The few of them let go of their strength and the tower fell down, covering Bulanda.

Bulanda turned around at this time and looked back. That look was full of disappointment that could not be hidden.

“Bulanda has gone crazy. No one would want to kill himself.”

Apollo complained in his heart.

At this moment, the Sky Dynasty had lost their morale to complete the task His Majesty had given them. A few of them climbed up the other two towers and poured all their divine power on the monsters outside to vent their anger.

The rest of them also lowered their heads and paced back and forth on the side of the Great Wall, ostensibly checking the situation of the Great Wall.

Apollo knew that he was the one who caused the current situation, but he had no choice but to do so in order to protect Bulanda.

Simmons patted him on the shoulder and did not say anything. He went out to look for the luggage.

At night, the monsters outside the Great Wall did not stop. There seemed to be people who liked to stay up late among the monsters. At this moment, they were still grinding the great wall with their claws, making sounds that made people’s teeth ache.

The Sky Dynasty had already retrieved a portion of their luggage. At this moment, they could set up five or six tents. However, everyone was squeezed into one of them. Apollo was sitting in the center.

“As for whether or not to execute Bulanda, we will have a short meeting here.”

As Apollo spoke, he swept his gaze across everyone. Most of them were just staring at the bonfire in the center. Only a few of them were looking at him. The bonfire was crackling.

Apollo sighed and continued.

“The current situation is that His Majesty has arrived at the fourth level of the Endless Tower. The situation is unknown, but we were not able to ascend together.”

“According to the administrator, this is because we have Bulanda in our team. Bulanda is the monarch of the other Holy Dynasty. We brought him along and were judged to have formed a team privately.”

“Therefore, based on the administrator’s explanation, if we kill Bulanda, we might be able to get away with it and reach the fourth floor of the Endless Tower smoothly.”
