A perfunctory speech like this would only fool the public. If they thought it could fool
Elijah, it’d be an insult to his intelligence.
“Elijah, let us be honest with you now that it has come to this. We’ll tell you everything.”
Ignatius took two steps forward and said seriously, “After the death of the prince, we need
a new leader. Who do you think is most suitable to be the new ruler of West Lucozia?”
“What are you trying to say?” Elijah sneered.
“I believe you’re well aware that the best candidate is Julius Rhys, the Grand General of
the Iron Stallion Cavalry!” Ignatius said, raising his head.
He added, “Only when the grand general becomes the ruler of West of Lucozia can we
have better development, more land, and more military reserves.
“This is inevitable, and there’s nothing you can do to change it. You’re smart. I trust that
you know what is in your best favor?”
“Are you saying that I should join forces with you?” Elijah wore a cryptic smile on his face.
“That’s right!” Ignatius nodded.

He’s more than qualified to be the new ruler.
“As the saying goes, a wise man will choose their leader. If you pledge your allegiance to
the grand general, your future will be in good hands. You’ll have everything you ever wish
for!”
“That’s right, Marquis of Silvercrest.” Atticus followed suit. “We used to serve the same
prince, and we got along just fine. As long as we serve a wise leader, our lives will
definitely become better!”
“That doesn’t sound too bad.” Elijah’s lips curved upward.
“Does that mean you’ll join us?” Ignatius’ eyes lit up when he thought he had successfully
persuaded Elijah.
“Marquis of Silvercrest! You’re an excellent fighter. If you help us deal with this assassin,
we’ll definitely put in a good word or two for you with the grand general,” Atticus said and
pointed toward Dustin.
“Hey, hold on. Who said I agreed to join forces with you?”
With a devilish smile, Elijah added, ” I’m a very loyal servant to my country, not like you
bastards. Please do not impose your corrupt thinking on my noble sentiments.”
“Elijah Valor! Don’t you know what’s good for you? How dare you go against the grand
general?” Ignatius growled.
“So what?” Elijah shrugged and said indifferently, “I’ve already consulted the oracle. Julius
Rhys is not fated to be the new ruler. You have placed your bets on the wrong person.”
“Nonsense! The grand general was born to be a ruler! There’s no one like him. The grand
general is destined to be the new prince of West Lucozia!” Ignatius shouted with his eyes
wide open.
Elijah laughed and said with a vague smile, “Are you sure you’ll succeed this time?”
“Of course!”
Ignatius puffed up his chest and said confidently, “The grand general is now fully
prepared. No one will be able to go against him.

have a troop of 100 thousand soldiers stationed outside the city.
“We have the whole kingdom surrounded. It doesn’t matter if you can fly. You won’t be
able to make any difference!”
“Is that so? If you’re this invincible, why are you in a ditch now?” Elijah laughed.
“We underestimated our enemy and fell into their trap. But it’s not a big deal. It won’t
change the final outcome, “Ignatius said.
He continued, “Elijah Valor, if you know what’s good for you, you should help the grand
general ascend to the throne together with us. As such, you’ll get to enjoy the riches with
us.”
Then, he threatened in a low voice, “If not, I’m afraid that you’ll suffer a terrible fate!”
“A terrible fate?” Elijah suddenly burst out laughing.
“Oh, Ignatius. You’re already dead meat! And yet, here you are, still spewing bullshit. I’m
not sure if you can call this confidence or foolishness.
“Let me tell you a cruel truth. The Southern Four Sovereigns have already formed an
alliance, and we have gathered a lot of loyal servants of the country.
“As we speak, your troops outside the city have been surrounded, and they have already
surrendered. Death is the only thing waiting for people like you!”
