Volume 2: Boundless Walker Chapter 91: Past, Present and?
Outside the Tusca Fortress, Prince Mossalik Modeus George was wearing a gray-black cloak and hiding in a dense forest, chewing energy food developed by the Royal Scientific Research Department.
Just the size of a finger, one stick can provide an adult with a day's supply.
This has been proven through thousands of experiments and is undoubtedly accurate.
There is only one drawback -
Disgusting!
Prince Mosalek took a bite and before he swallowed it, he felt a stinging pain in his throat.
For several days he had been hiding nearby, relying entirely on such food to provide energy for his body.
And water?
Finished it all a day ago.
The only thing left was another type of water capsule developed by the Royal Scientific Research Department.
Like the energy bars, a pinky-sized water capsule can provide an adult with a day's worth of water.
The same goes for the disadvantages.
Hard to swallow.
Prince Mosalek had no way of associating that sticky, slightly smelly liquid with 'water' - especially after drinking it, he had to grit his teeth.
Otherwise you will vomit it out 100%!
But Prince Mosalek is still enduring!
He is looking for an opportunity!
For my brother!
For the royal family of Tesin!
"After we solve the problem of the North, Tesin will no longer have any worries, and then... huh?!"
Mosalik was thinking, when suddenly a powerful sword energy appeared in his perception.
yes……
Alger Aldridge!
Almost instantly, Mosalek confirmed the identity of one of them.
As for the identity of the remaining person?
Needless to say, he kept it all in mind.
Because, that was his target: Scrooge!
Prince Mosalek didn't know why Scrooge K and Alger Aldrich had a conflict, but in his perception, the aura belonging to Scrooge K became weaker.
Mosalik did not hesitate, and moved towards the Tusca Fortress like a shadow.
When the prince discovered that the security in the fortress had been significantly raised, his eyes lit up brightly.
Chance!
The opportunity he had been waiting for finally came!
According to the map in his mind, Mossalek shuttled back and forth in the underground of Tosca Fortress, searching for the "safe house" in the fortress - this was information that cost him a huge price and relied on three assassins to obtain.
Fortunately, it was all worth it!
When he saw Scrooge leaning on the bed with a pale face, a smile appeared on the prince's face.
Without any hesitation, he stabbed Scrooge with the dagger in his hand.
The moment the dagger stabbed out, light scales appeared on the prince's face.
Yes, dragon scales!
The stimulation of his blood made it impossible for the dragon scales to hide, and also made the prince's speed even faster.
It really is like lightning.
Then……
It was held in the hands of Lord Scrooge.
"Surprised?"
“I’m surprised too!”
"I thought Woodrow would give you more resources and focus on your training, but I didn't expect you to be a smokescreen!"
Crack!
Saying these words, Archduke Scrooge broke Prince Mosalek's neck with one hand, and then, with the flaming energy in his hands, he wrapped the other party in it.
After a few breaths, Prince Mosalik's body completely disappeared.
Only less than 10 milliliters of scarlet liquid remained, which the Grand Duke put into a test tube.
Dragon blood!
Very valuable!
Not to mention this purified dragon blood!
In Faber's case, the great nobles would be willing to exchange a city for it.
Of course, Archduke Scrooge would never do business with those pretentious guys like Faber.
"A bunch of fools!"
Archduke Scrooge commented on Faber.
Then his face became serious.
Since George VI did not focus on training Mosalek, it was impossible for the remaining two princes to be trained as well.
As for the other party himself?
Neither do they!
The other party maintains a strength that is consistent with what ordinary people would think an idle king should have.
So where did these resources go?
As Archduke Scrooge was thinking, his face suddenly changed. He could feel the throbbing in his body - part of his body now belonged to 'Credol', and it was tampered with by King George VI. Otherwise, how could the other party help 'Credol'?
The only thing to be thankful for is that as he entered the fourth level, such secret tactics no longer worked.
call!
Lord Scrooge took a deep breath and exhaled heavily.
bite!
A crystal the size of a fingernail was spat out of his body.
The black crystal bounced on the ground several times before it came to a standstill.
A ray of light began to spread.
In a beam of light, King George VI appeared, wearing pajamas, a nightcap and holding a pillow.
The King of Tesin did not hide the surprise in his eyes, he stared blankly at Lord Scrooge.
After three or four seconds, he finally opened his mouth to confirm.
"Scrooge.G?"
"Kreidol?"
"Scrooge, of course!"
The Archduke said firmly.
"Back then, Credor's plan...had the Ke family discovered it long ago?"
"Well, it should have been discovered a long time ago."
"So, you guys should take advantage of their tricks."
"Alas, why would a simple and honest bear be so sinister?"
George VI sat in a chair, hugging his pillow and sighed.
"Because we need to face more sinister bastards like you!"
The hatred and murderous intent in the Archduke's eyes were as real as day.
He survived.
But what about his father? His brother?
All dead!
Just to keep him alive!
The purpose was to make George VI believe that his plan was successful!
"Well, Scrooge, I can explain."
"I had no choice but to do this. I also did this for..."
"I know!"
The Grand Duke interrupted George VI coldly. The king was stunned at first, with more surprise appearing on his face, and then he nodded in understanding.
"You know?"
"Yes, you should know."
"So, can we put aside our differences and work together for once?"
George VI looked expectantly at the Archduke.
"We are the Ke family, the Ke family of the Northern Territory."
"You are the royal family, the Tesin royal family."
The Grand Duke emphasized.
"Is it impossible to cooperate?"
"Even though we have had some unpleasant experiences before, you should be able to understand me, right?"
"I was forced to do this."
George VI defended himself.
The Archduke just sneered.
Some parts of what the other party said were true, but most of them were excuses - the Grand Duke knew this very well and it was impossible for him to believe what the other party said.
As for cooperation?
Unless the other person is dead.
Otherwise, it is even more impossible.
Looking at the sneering Archduke, George VI sighed again.
"What about the war?"
"What do you think of this war?"
"I hope it ends reasonably."
At this point, a hint of pleading appeared on George VI's face.
"That's your business - the Ke family is just taking back what belongs to the Ke family!"
The Grand Duke smiled, raised his foot and stomped on the black crystal to pieces.
Bang!
The crystal shattered and the light curtain disappeared.
The Grand Duke restrained his smile and stood there quietly thinking about his next plan.
Similarly, George VI was thinking.
The king of Tesin sat in a chair, hugging a pillow and supporting his chin with one hand.
Scrooge's counterattack caught him off guard.
Although he has discovered some clues in recent years, he believes that as long as he has a secret weapon, he is sure to win!
In his plan, the North and Fapol are both extremely important parts.
Now this link in the north has completely collapsed.
Faber would naturally be affected as well.
And that hidden piece...
It has to be enabled!
But now is not the time to reap the real harvest.
Once enabled, the effect will be greatly reduced.
But if it is not activated, if something like Scrooge Jones happens again, he will never be able to accept it.
George VI, who was always at ease, hesitated for a moment.
After a few minutes, George VI sighed -
“Damn it!”
"The previous generation of the Ke family actually used the lives of their entire family to make me believe that their plan was successful, and to buy time for the only remaining old bear - why are you so sure? Do you believe that he will definitely be able to enter the fourth level?"
"Why?"
"Ke family?"
"It's really... scary!"
George VI murmured in a low voice, his eyes filled with confusion.
Then he tidied his pajamas and nightcap, walked to the window, opened it, took a deep breath of the cool night breeze of the Summer Palace, and after his eyes firmly memorized the scenery, he rearranged his pillow and lay back on the bed.
As George VI lay down, a dagger appeared in his hand.
puff!
George VI stabbed him directly in the abdomen with a dagger.
Mossalek was definitely dead.
The situation in Tesin that he maintained had been destroyed. Gerald was not a problem for the time being, but Ronald would inevitably become more ambitious - he knew Ronald too well, so he was sure that if he were still alive, he would be constantly tested.
Such temptation will expose him sooner or later.
Therefore, he must die.
However, it won’t happen immediately, it will have to be delayed for a while.
Try to make everything make sense.
Moreover, it is in his favor.
Just like, this war needs a reasonable reason to end.
And him, George VI?
An exit is also required.
Now?
Let’s kick off the process.
King George VI felt the coldness of the blade, helplessness and...excitement appearing in his eyes.
Unfortunately, this exit was not what he had planned.
What’s exciting is that the old bear’s entry into the fourth level is enough to cause a ripple in the world before his eyes.
Just a trace!
But it's enough!
He is looking forward to it!
Thinking of this, George VI gathered his strength and let out a scream.
“Ahhhhhh!”
The voice was high-pitched, miserable, and filled with pain.
A moment later——
"Your Majesty has been assassinated!"
"Catch the assassin!"
The Summer Palace was suddenly brightly lit and the guards began to run around.
At the same time, inside the Tusca Fortress, Skos, the first captain of the Grand Duke's Guard, led a team of people out of the fortress.
Skes and the members of the Grand Duke's Guard behind him all had anger in their eyes.
Anger fills their brains and makes them lose their calm.
Becoming extremely...bloodthirsty!
When they arrived at the camp where Tesin's Second Legion was stationed, a stream of scarlet blood emanated from Skus' body, making the Grand Duke's first team captain look like a devil crawling out of hell.
He roared—
"You despicable fellows, how dare you assassinate His Royal Highness the Grand Duke? I will tear you to pieces!"
A roar.
The last battle before the end of the war began.
At this time, Archduke Scrooge was still looking at Alger Aldridge with a smile, and asked in a very kind tone -
"I heard that you can create [Dawn Shelter]?"
"I think you can make a few hundred or a thousand of them, and consider them as the accommodation and food expenses for tonight."
After saying this, the Grand Duke thought for a moment, and in order to make the facts consistent with what he said, he raised his hand and put the remaining half piece of bread on the table into Alger Aldridge's hand.
And the other hand?
It had already been clenched into a fist.
Alger Aldridge left two days later , staggering, with bruised eyes and pale face, looking as if he had been hollowed out.
Just half an hour after Alger Aldrich left, Goethe and Gedjiel led two thousand Northern cavalrymen into the fortress. Both of them looked anxious - they received the news that Scrooge was stabbed and seriously injured on the way. Immediately, the two of them rushed to the Northern Fortress overnight.
only……
Goethe and Gergelin were stunned when they saw Archduke Scrooge K, with a ruddy face and bare arms, sitting cross-legged in front of the fireplace, gnawing on a roasted leg of beef.
