Chapter 217: A bag of rice can be carried up several floors.
"Sending out cannon fodder to test the waters first is all in vain. No matter how many go, how many will die." Delta immediately shook his head.

Not to mention that it was impossible for the people from Mordred's faction to capture Elizabeth and Rose, not to mention that Ipsilon and Zeta had already followed to ensure that everything was safe.

With these four women guarding, two openly and two secretly, let alone Mordred, the ninth seat, even the first seat would have to bear resentment if he came.

While Delta was discussing the situation in the Kingdom of Oriana with Xue Ji, at the border of Midgar, two teams of knights were escorting a luxurious carriage towards the Kingdom of Oriana.

"Teacher, when do you think the Mordred faction of the Diabolos Cult will attack?" Rose asked Elizabeth while sitting next to King Ronald of Oriana.

"Let's do that after we enter the Kingdom of Oriana. After all, the Kingdom of Midgar still belongs to the sphere of influence of the Fenrir faction. The Ninth Seat probably doesn't have the guts to provoke the Fifth Seat while attacking us in Midgar." Elizabeth said with a sneer.

"It seems to be true." Rose couldn't help but look out the window while speaking, and the direction she was looking at was exactly where the Diabolos Cult surveillance personnel were.

"Rose, have the people from the Diabolos Cult been following us all the time?" Ronald asked his daughter.

"Yes, father. Someone has been following us since we left the capital of Midgar three days ago." Rose nodded.

"Is it okay?" Ronald asked again.

"It's okay, father. I'm just a little irritated." Rose answered very honestly at this moment.

After all, if a toad jumps onto the instep of your foot, even if it doesn't cause any harm, it's definitely extremely disgusting.

This is what is happening to Rose and Elizabeth right now.

There was no large force coming from the Diabolos Cult, only a few surveillance personnel were following them, which made Rose feel very annoyed.

It's not that Rose can't take action to deal with these surveillance personnel, but there is no point in taking action to solve them.

After all, even if these surveillance personnel were dealt with in the Kingdom of Midgar, they would be targeted again in an instant when they returned to the Kingdom of Oriana.

There is really no need to expose one's strength for the sake of a few sons of Diabolos who are not very powerful.

It would be really troublesome if the Mordred faction was frightened and dared not to move.

"It's possible to actively lure them out," Elizabeth said.

"Lady Elizabeth, what solution do you propose?" Ronald also wanted to have a result with the Mordred faction as soon as possible. After all, it was quite stressful for Ronald to be so worried all the way.

"It's simple, just head to the city of Sethu." Elizabeth said slowly.

"Teacher, do you want to use the key to open the [Black Rose] to lure Mordred out?" Rose immediately understood Elizabeth's plan when she heard the word "Seth".

"Lady Elizabeth, isn't this too risky?" Ronald politely declined as soon as he heard the word "Sai Xiu Cheng".

After all, he knew too well what a disaster it would be for the Kingdom of Oriana if the key fell into Mordred's hands.

"There is no risk for us to take out the key. Even if the key accidentally falls into the hands of the Mordred faction, there is no risk. For us, the only risk is that the Mordred faction continues to hide in the Kingdom of Oriana." Elizabeth knew what Ronald was worried about, so she said it bluntly.

"Ms. Elizabeth, you know that once the key falls into Mordred's hands, he will open the [Black Rose]. At that time, the Warcraft disaster that once happened to the Kingdom of Oriana will come again." Ronald said with a serious face.

In fact, if Elizabeth had not clearly stated the existence of the key in her words, he would not have said this. After all, this is a state secret of the Kingdom of Oriana.

"It doesn't matter. Even if [Black Rose] is really activated, this level of monster disaster is nothing more than a matter of slaughter for us. I've already said that this is not a risk.

As long as we can lure out all the people from the Mordred faction, it is definitely worth it even if we make some sacrifices. By comparison, letting these guys hide in the Kingdom of Oriana will cause the greatest destructive power." Elizabeth explained calmly.

"With a strong man like you in charge, the Mordred faction won't dare to be so arrogant. In this way, we can slowly identify and then eliminate the followers of the Mordred faction one by one. Isn't this better?" Ronald did not want to sacrifice the people as a price. After all, he knew too well what kind of disaster the [Black Rose] would bring.

"The Kingdom of Oriana needs to be reborn. Without experiencing personal pain, how can they intuitively realize the importance of power? Only by experiencing and understanding the helplessness of being powerless can the people change their perception of the magic swordsman." Elizabeth explained while looking at Ronald in silence.

A benevolent king is not a good thing for a country in turmoil.

Especially considering the current situation of the Kingdom of Oriana, if the people's perception of the magic swordsman is not changed, it will be very difficult to recruit soldiers within the Kingdom of Oriana.

So Elizabeth decided to give the key to Mordred, let him open the [Black Rose], and let the Kingdom of Oriana feel the pain firsthand.

Only after a bag of rice is carried to a few floors and a bag of rice is carried to the second floor, can the people break the distorted cognition deliberately cultivated by the Diabolos Cult.

In this way, the supply of soldiers in the future can be guaranteed. After all, we cannot recruit all the magic swordsmen from other kingdoms as soldiers. That would be a huge risk.

After hearing what Elizabeth said, Rose's eyes showed a slight pity.

As for Ronald, he clenched his fists and his breathing became rapid.

After all, the bloodiness hidden in Elizabeth's words was already evident.

But Ronald also knew that the Kingdom of Oriana needed to go through such suffering before it could be reborn from the ashes.

This was also the reason why he held back from speaking even though his nails were about to pierce his palms.

Because he knew very well the suffering of being without an army and being controlled by others.

Especially now that they have made it clear that they are going to break off relations with the Diabolos Cult, they will definitely not be able to count on the military support of the Kingdom of Midgar in the future.

After the Mordred faction in charge of the Kingdom of Oriana is eliminated, the Kingdom of Bekada, which has always wanted to invade the Kingdom of Oriana, will definitely not be able to bear it anymore.

Without the interference of the Diabolos Cult this time, the Kingdom of Bekada will definitely not be hindered again, and will even be able to form an invading army more smoothly.

By then, the Kingdom of Oriana would probably be destroyed, and this is the tragedy of the Knights who have no ability to defend their own land.

"Don't be so pessimistic, King Ronald. Although the future of the Kingdom of Oriana is unclear, it will not be a dead end. I can guarantee this." Elizabeth said to him after sensing Ronald's pessimism.

"Isn't it a dead end?" Ronald replied bitterly.

With Elizabeth around, Ronald believed that the Oriana clan would not be exterminated. Even if he could not survive, Rose would definitely survive.

But the Kingdom of Oriana is different. Without sufficient troops, it is impossible to defend this defenseless country that can be ravaged at will. "Ah, it's not a dead end. You don't understand what your daughter finding me means. Let me put it this way. I want to kill all the troops of the Kingdom of Bekada, or even destroy the Kingdom of Bekada, and it will only take one night." Elizabeth said lightly.

"How is this possible, Lady Elizabeth, who are you?" After hearing what Elizabeth said, Ronald looked at Elizabeth in disbelief and asked.

"It doesn't matter who I am. You might not recognize me anyway. What matters is that I can fulfill every word I say, and that's enough." Elizabeth replied indifferently.

"Father, there is no doubt about the teacher's ability, so you can rest assured." When Rose said this, her eyes suddenly looked into the distance.

"They're here already! Pretty fast!" Elizabeth also sensed the breath of Zeta and Ipsilon.

"What happened?" Ronald also felt the change in the expressions of the two women.

"That's a good thing. The teacher's friends are here to help." Rose said quickly.

"Well, the people sent by the Diabolos Cult to monitor have been eliminated." Elizabeth added.

"Now I feel more confident." Rose couldn't help but say.

"Is there still room for hesitation?" Elizabeth asked Rose.

"No need for that. Some pain is unavoidable. If that's the case, let's make good use of it." Rose immediately made up her mind.

"Rose, you." Ronald looked at Rose and said.

"Father, I hope you can understand and support me!" Rose looked at Ronald and said seriously.

"You have really grown up. Very good, just do as you decide." Ronald nodded.

After all, this is the first decision of the future Queen of Oriana. How could a father like me veto it?

"Captain Oga, the king has ordered us to turn to the city of Sethu!" Rose then stuck her head out and spoke to the captain of the guard who had come from the interior of the Kingdom of Oriana.

"Going to Saixiu City? I understand!" Oga immediately gave the order.

A few hours later, on a balcony somewhere in the palace of Midgar, Alexia couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the blood moon hanging high in the sky.

"Alexia, after the banquet ended and you saw Sid Kageno off, the worry in your eyes couldn't be erased. Did something happen while you were out?" Alice came to Alexia and asked softly.

"Yes, something did happen." Alexia did not deny it, but nodded in admission.

"Is it troublesome?" Alice couldn't help but frowned when she heard it.

"It's really troublesome." Alexia nodded again.

"About Claire? It can't be..." Alice seemed to have thought of something, and asked with a rather unpleasant expression on her face.

"No, sister, Sid has no intention of canceling the engagement." Alexia knew Alice's thoughts had gone astray as soon as she saw her expression.

"That's fine, but if it's not this, then what is it?" Alice continued to ask.

"Hey, Sister Alice, what can you do for this country?" Alexia suddenly turned around and asked her sister with a serious expression.

"Alexia, what do you mean by asking this?" Alice was a little confused by Alexia's question.

"Sister Alice, please answer me first." Alexia did not give an answer, but continued to ask Alice.

"I can give everything for this country!" Alice answered firmly.

"Give everything? If I tell you that only by sacrificing yourself can we keep our kingdom, are you willing to sacrifice?" Alexia continued to ask.

"Alexia, I am increasingly confused about what you mean. What exactly do you know?" Alice asked Alexia with a serious expression.

"Sister Alice, if I tell you that the whole world will undergo drastic changes within this year, would you believe it?" Alexia asked again.

"Alexia, what drastic changes do you mean?" Alice's expression became more serious at this moment.

"Probably the death of all the nobles and the destruction of the church." Alexia said after thinking for a while.

"Alexia, are you okay? Can you just say something like that?" Alice couldn't help but touch her sister's forehead.

"Sister Alice, I'm fine and I'm not talking nonsense." Alexia waved her hand.

"You just said something like that. If someone heard it, do you know what the impact would be?" Alice said seriously.

Although her tone was full of criticism, Alexia could tell that Sister Alice was defending her.

"Sister Alice, don't worry, because no one can survive within the range of our voice." Alexia said with a smile.

"Alexia, you..." Alice now understood the meaning of these words.

That means someone really approached and is already dead now.

"Eavesdropping on the conversations of royal family members is stealing the kingdom's secrets. It's a waste of food to keep such people around." Alexia replied in a firm tone.

Along with her voice, a dozen dandelions emitting faint light floated out from all around the bedroom and then gathered in front of Alexia.

"What is this?" Alice couldn't help but ask as she looked at the floating healing dandelion.

"Power!" Alexia said, and directly injected all the healing dandelions into Alice's body.

In an instant, a warm and comfortable feeling spread throughout Alice's body.
