Chapter 2153: Innocent Mistake
Besieged, people inside have to find a way out, and people outside have to find a way in.
The water and food sources of the palace were all cut off. Fortunately, the people outside would not starve the king to death, so they still maintained a basic food supply. However, if the stalemate continued, the people in the palace would collapse sooner or later.
The Bull Group was fine, they were all useless people who had seen the wind and rain, and their psychological quality was excellent. But the retainers who were pulled in were almost overwhelmed. Although they also wanted to try their best to turn a bicycle into a motorcycle, they were afraid when they saw the army of the Knights outside the palace wall.
Outside was a legion that could destroy a country, and they only had a dispensable king in their hands. What if the people outside couldn't wait any longer, killed the king directly, and then pushed the responsibility to them?
They looked down on the Bull Group in the first place, and now they were even more willing to retreat.
The food sent by the Knights every day was not enough, and everyone's stomachs began to growl after a few days.
"Let's kill them and surrender." The retainers discussed: "Otherwise we will be buried with them. These guys are not worth dying for. Our lives are more precious than theirs." At this time, they didn't care whether the Bull Group was their master or not. Life was more important.
It has to be said that they changed very quickly. A few days ago, they thought they had the opportunity to overthrow the king, rebuild a country, get promoted and make money. In just a few days, they changed their minds and became afraid.
In fact, they calmed down. They were frightened by the Bull Group before. After calming down and thinking about it these few days, they were afraid. They were confused at the beginning. After all, if they didn't agree at that time, the Demon-Breaking Sword would fall on their heads. They were forced to go astray.
"They are obviously a disgrace to the nobles. What qualifications do they have to instruct us?" The retainers are dogs relying on the power of others. It's okay for the masters to discriminate against each other, but these lackeys of the great nobles have also begun to discriminate. They really forgot their identity.
No matter how much the eldest lady is not liked, it is a matter between their brothers and sisters. It can only be said that her brothers and sisters do not know how to show mercy to their sister, but what qualifications do outsiders have to despise the eldest lady?
And the tool man, even if he is not good at attacking with magic, his portal is very powerful. As long as he has been to a place, he can basically reach it with one click. Such a large-scale magic can be said to be invincible. What qualifications do the retainers have to look down on him?
As for the dead sister control, he was completely calculated by his relatives. He was still young that year. Otherwise, he would not have been thrown into prison because of his ignorance. These retainers not only did not help but surrendered to their relatives, and they deserved to die.
It can be said that the retainers of these three families are rubbish, and it can also be seen that the entire aristocratic class has reached the edge of "collapse". They have begun to disobey the rules, and there is no harmony between relatives. There is no hierarchy between the upper and lower levels. The aristocratic system is already shaky. If it were not for the fact that the magician class is still very stable, the aristocracy would have collapsed long ago.
"It's really that the upper beam is not straight, and the lower beam is crooked. Now you know why the Magic Emperor and Ye Jian are leaving you, right?" Duran said to the Bull Group. In fact, they have been monitoring the actions of the retainers.
"I didn't expect them to be loyal." Doesn't the sister-con know these retainers? To be honest, he has lost hope in human nature. Except for a few people he cares about, he looks down on everyone.
Ye Jian, Asta, his sister, and his comrades in the Bull Group, these are the only people the sister-con trusts. As for the retainers, they can be abandoned at any time.
And the tool man didn't expect his retainers to be so cowardly: "What should we do?"
"Actually, I have a plan." Duran smiled.
"What plan?"
"Since they want to betray, let them betray. My plan is to let them introduce the Knights into the palace, and then we will blow up the palace. We have a portal to transport explosives in, and we can blow them all up without anyone noticing."
"It's too dangerous, people will die." If you really do that, people will die.
After all, the Bull Group is all young people. So far, they have not killed people, and they are still kind in their hearts.
"Actually, you don't need to get too excited. This kind of thing will happen frequently in the future. The chaotic world is coming. Either you kill people or others kill you. You can also hold on to your abilities and do nothing, waiting for others to chop you with a butcher's knife, or waiting for the Magic Emperor to rescue you. These are all your choices. I'm just suggesting." Duran didn't force them, but sometimes society is like this, and people have to make choices.
The Bull Group is not a real reform team now, because they haven't understood and digested advanced ideas. Their current motivation is entirely because of their trust in the Magic Emperor and Ye Jian, not because they want to change the world.
But this can't be rushed. After all, the times make heroes. They will grow up in the future. Through the test of iron and blood, they will understand the depth of thought and the foresight of the Magic Emperor and Ye Jian.
So they are still indecisive and don't take ruthless actions, and Duran won't force them.
Duran's suggestion was rejected, and the Bull Group still wanted to maintain the status quo and then escape.
But they forgot that once the Knights learned about the situation in the palace through the retainers, they also had a lot of magical magic to use, so they could sneak in and rescue the king without anyone noticing.
By then, the Bulls will not be able to escape even if they want to, and will definitely be caught.
But being caught is fine, because if you have not experienced suffering, you will not know your immaturity.
Duran left first. He knew that the naivety of the Bull Group would not only harm them, but also Magic Emperor and Ye Jian.
The retainers wanted to betray, but the Bull Group knew it but did not dare to do it, which directly led to a series of problems.
Not long after Duran left, the retainers really contacted the Knights outside. The Knights asked the retainers to protect the king's safety, and then they used magic interference to control the entire palace to cut off the portal, and then they attacked.
If there were no arrears of wages, the librarians would not have embarked on the road of reform; if the Bull Group did not experience the hardships, they would not understand the era of sudden changes; if Magic Emperor and Ye Jian did not make sacrifices, then the evil and chaos of the magician class could not be reflected.
The retainers' bullying, the reversal of the order of the nobles, and the desperate counterattack of the peasants all represent changes.
Now that the change has come, no one can survive under the wheel of history.
As soon as Duran left, no one in the Bull Group dared to propose a plan to wipe out all enemies. The Knights rushed in, and the naivety of the Bull Group made them lose their freedom, and they turned from kidnappers to hostages.
"Kill them, kill them." The king wanted to kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, and beheaded the Bull Group.
However, the leaders of the Knights had other plans: "The Magic Emperor's time magic is too powerful. We can use these people as a threat to make the Magic Emperor wait for death."
The king thought it made sense: "Then kill the Magic Emperor first, then kill them, and kill Ye Jian together."
The Bull Group did not expect this to happen. They underestimated the enemy's strength and evil. They regretted not following Duran's plan, but it was too late to regret now.
