Chapter 728 Paper Tiger (Page 15)

A series of flapping sounds caught the king's attention.

The king in the study turned his head and saw a bloody crow staring at him outside the window.

The king was slightly stunned. "Blood Raven? What are you doing here?"

The king stood up, opened the window and let the blood crow in.

"Haha, I came to see if you have changed someone. After all, you would have died 100% in that situation. I even suspect that the Soul Sect has researched some new technology and brought up an identical person." Blood Crow stared at the king, looking him over and over, sniffing from time to time.

However, after studying for a long time, Blood Crow could not find any problem with the king.

"It's really you! You are not infected with the insanity! But why did you suddenly go crazy? Do you know what you are doing?" Blood Crow had a strange expression.

"First of all, I am not crazy. And I know what I am doing. Are you here just to see if I am real?" asked the king.

"You're right! After all, we are very free now, and I was born to collect intelligence. Even if I have no service objects now, I can't suppress my instinct to eat melons. Haha~" Blood Crow made an unpleasant laugh.

"Haha, if you really have nothing to do, just help me do something. The price is negotiable." said the king.

"Tsk! I'm not interested in money, and you won't live long, so there's no point in making short-term money." Blood Crow laughed.

"…What do you mean?" The king frowned.

"Don't you know? Some members of your Royal City Knights have begun to gather secretly. It seems that they are planning a rebellion." Blood Crow said gloatingly.

The king's expression remained normal after hearing this. He had expected this situation a long time ago, but when Blood Crow said it, he still felt a little chilled. Legend has it that even the most loyal guards would turn their spearheads against their own kings when faced with a conflict of interest.

"Hey! Why are you so calm? Do you have any backup plan?" Blood Crow was a little puzzled.

"There is no backup plan. This draft is just to help me distinguish between friends and foes. Aside from the Royal City Knights, what reactions do the nobles have?"

"No, they are all waiting to laugh at you. Even some of your brothers and sisters have begun to secretly collude with them." Blood Crow said gloatingly.

The king's expression remained calm. His brothers and sisters had hired assassins to kill him before, and the king had killed a large number of them, leaving only a few timid ones. But now, the survivors jumped out again.

Blood Raven stared at the king's expression curiously. "Your throne is about to collapse! Why don't you look anxious at all?"

"There's no need to rush. The Soul Knights will be here soon. In front of them, all the high and mighty ruling classes will be wiped out." The king laughed.

"You're crazy! Are there thorns on the throne? Do you really want to watch your power slip away?" Blood Crow was a little suspicious.

The king looked at Blood Crow with some curiosity. "I thought you would understand the feelings of the oppressed. And you have at least come into contact with the Soul Cult, don't you know anything about their philosophy?"

"Haha, are you talking about that group of cult members? Some of their twisted theories are really exciting. But this world is unfair. Their pursuit is more like chasing reflections in the water. It's too unrealistic. Restricting the strong and helping the weak. It's like helping a sheep to deal with a wolf. It's against the laws of nature." Blood Crow shook his head.

The king just smiled when he heard this. Some people cannot be awakened, even though he himself has experienced the feeling of being oppressed.

While the king was talking to Blood Crow, the door to his study was opened. Two knights from the royal city walked in slowly. The king recognized them; they were the chief and vice chief of the Knights.

"Your Majesty, your current condition is very dangerous! That bill..." The leader seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"Please take back your order, Your Majesty!" the deputy captain said directly.

"Hehe~ Now it's going to be interesting." Blood Crow stood at the corner of the table and stared back and forth at the two groups of people.

The two captains looked at Blood Crow, a trace of fear flashing in their eyes.

"Just do whatever you want! Be it treason or murder! I won't stop you!" Blood Crow said calmly with his eyes narrowed.

The two captains' faces changed drastically. "Evil beast! What nonsense are you talking about! Our loyalty to His Majesty the King is absolute!"

Blood Crow's face froze. How did he end up in such a difficult situation?

"What is there for you hypocritical guys to pretend for? The fact that you can come here shows that your loyalty has been shaken! If you are really loyal, you should resolutely carry out the king's orders! Instead of forcing the king to retract his order! You are a bitch, but you still pretend to be a pure lady! How disgusting!" Blood Crow's eyes were full of coldness.

"You!" The deputy leader drew his sword. Blood Crow was also furious.

"Okay! Captains, don't be angry. I am here now. And I will not take back my order. You can choose to use my head in exchange for a bright future or to faithfully fulfill your mission. All the choices are in your hands." The king sat on the throne, his eyes as calm as water.

The two captains' faces changed. They didn't expect the king to be so stubborn. Now it was their turn to be embarrassed. Their faces changed back and forth, and they didn't know what to do for a while.

"Your Majesty! We want to know why! Have you really been brainwashed by the Soul Cult?" asked the deputy leader with a sad expression.

"My will is very clear. The reason you reject the truth is simply because you stand on the side of vested interests. If I give an order to remove you from your positions and imprison you both, and exile your families, you should be able to understand everything the Soul Cult said." The king said with a smile.

When these words were spoken, the two team leaders felt their hair stand on end.

"Neither of us did anything wrong! Why…"

"You have committed the crime of treason by breaking into my study! It is already a mercy on my part that I have not sent you to the guillotine." The king's eyes turned cold.

Feeling the coldness, the two captains fell to their knees.

"Your Majesty! We didn't mean that! We just... just..."

"I believed the slander of a villain and was confused for a moment." The deputy head of the group quickly replied.

The king looked at the two of them with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

"You wouldn't be so servile on the battlefield. But why can you give up your dignity and kneel on the ground facing me, a person who poses no threat? When you heard my unreasonable orders, why was your first reaction not to resist, but to kneel down and beg for mercy? Is power so scary? Aren't the swords in your hands?" The king stood up and stared at the two men fiercely.

But the two leaders did not dare to raise their heads. Because they were taught from childhood to be absolutely loyal to the king, even if the king was ill, they would not think of treason but of persuading him. The imprint of their thoughts was so deep that they had lost their ability to think normally.

"Ah?" Blood Crow stared at the scene with his eyes wide open. "These are all rubbish! I thought you were gathering together to rebel! Is this the result?"
