Chapter 98: The Senior is Brilliant p2
Back in the mobile palace, the army set off again. It was estimated that they would be able to reach the capital of Malaga in two days.
Thanks to Justin’s generosity, he was able to reach his destination faster without the resistance along the way.
Kailun could guess what the other party was thinking. First, they would gather their forces to defend, second, they would wait for the support of the Holy Son and Kailson, and third, they would stretch his front line and cut off the subsequent supplies.
This was the most likely scenario, and also the one that Kailun cared the least about. Taking down the capital in three days was no joke.
He didn’t need a so-called war of attrition. That kind of thing was not suitable for him, and he couldn’t afford it.
Based on the time, Steward Roden and the captain of the First Knights should be able to arrive at the capital of Malaga in advance and sneak in.
In fact, they immediately set off with their teams after yesterday’s battle, in order to create a time difference.
It was no exaggeration to say that they could even reach the capital faster than Justin and the others. If they really fought, they would be the ones responsible for opening the door and destroying the city.
For the sake of secrecy, only a thousand people participated in this operation, the elite of the elite. When the time came, they would cleverly integrate into the capital and become a part of it.
Thinking ten steps ahead, a hundred steps ahead, this was what a strategist should do.
Personally going to the battlefield to fight and kill was too boring, of course, except for situations where he could kill instantly.
After all, as a first-rank mage, Kailun had always had a dream of taking the enemy general’s head among a million soldiers.
It was a pity that the inheritance of melee mages had been cut off, otherwise there would be many mages in the world who would “stray from the right path”.
“I’m hungry, can you give me something to eat?”
As soon as he entered the mobile palace, Kailun heard Shirley’s weak voice. It turned out that she had been tied up for a whole night.
Kailun walked up to her, untied the rope on her body, and said speechlessly, “Is it possible that you can break free from the rope with your own strength?”
Shirley was stunned: “Eh? It seems that I really can.”
She was not wearing a magic-suppressing collar by Kailun, and her physical strength was not restricted at all.
Shirley suddenly realized that ever since she met Kailun, she had become less and less willing to think.
Anyway, it was useless to think about anything, it was better to just empty her mind and be in a daze.
“So, where’s your brain?!” Kailun tapped his finger on Shirley’s smooth forehead, exasperated.
If she was a little smarter, she would be fully capable of commanding an army of about 10,000 knights, but now she was probably only capable of leading a team to charge mindlessly.
She was basically useless.
Sighing, Kailun once again lowered his requirements for Shirley in his heart. It was also a kind of wisdom not to have too high expectations for a fool.
“Um, can you let the princess out? She hasn’t eaten for a day.” Seeing that Kailun was about to leave, Shirley hurriedly ran over and grabbed his hand.
“Thud!”
Because her movement was too big, the apple hidden in her clothes fell out.
Both of their gazes fell on the apple on the ground, and the atmosphere became silent.
Shirley took a step to the left and covered the apple with her body.
“Just so you know, apples can’t fill your stomach. In many cases, they will only make you hungrier.” Kailun walked around Shirley and picked up the apple on the ground.
If it wasn’t for Shirley’s reminder, he would have almost forgotten that Princess Hilna was still locked in her room.
Judging from the time, the effects of the medicine on Princess Hilna had worn off, which was a pity.
“I’ll go see Princess Hilna, you go find something to eat yourself.” Kailun took the apple and waved at Shirley.
The latter wanted to follow Kailun in, but after being glared at by him, she behaved herself.
He unlocked the door with the key, and after entering the room, Kailun locked the door behind him.
He glanced around the room and saw that Princess Hilna was already asleep on the bed.
Sleeping was not a problem, but where was the bed sheet?
He looked around and finally saw the bed sheet by the small window. It seemed to be wet and hadn’t dried yet.
He sniffed carefully, and a strange smell filled the air.
It couldn’t be said to be familiar, but it could only be said to be very familiar, almost the same smell as a certain special holy water.
Kailun: “…”
Thinking of what happened last night and the candy that Hilna ate, Kailun quickly got the answer. It turned out that he was the culprit.
Sitting on the bed without the sheet with the apple in his hand, Kailun watched as Hilna got closer and looked at her.
Her red hair covered most of her face, and Kailun brushed her hair to her ear.
She had impeccable features, a face as white as snow, and red, alluring lips.
Her mouth was slightly open, and she was breathing gently. Through the gap between her lips, one could still see her pearly white teeth.
She was indeed a very beautiful woman, especially when she was quiet, she didn’t seem so annoying anymore.
He put the apple to her mouth and touched her red lips. Kailun watched as she gradually opened her eyes.
She was a little dazed when she first woke up, but she instantly regained her senses when she saw Kailun.
Kailun put the apple in front of her: “I heard that you haven’t eaten all day, so I brought you an apple. If you want to sleep, eat it and then sleep.”
“Hmm.”
Hilna responded softly and took the apple.
She sat up from the bed, tidied up her clothes briefly, and looked at Kailun uneasily.
“By the way, what’s wrong with the sheet?” Kailun asked, pretending not to understand.
Hilna lowered her head and explained, “I accidentally knocked over the cup when I was drinking water, and accidentally spilled it on the bed.”
“Oh, so that’s what happened. I thought you wet the bed, sorry.” Kailun clapped his hands.
Hearing this, Hilna lowered her head even more, her fingernails almost digging into the apple.
“The main reason I came to you this time is to tell you good news.” Kailun sat down next to Hilna, pretending to be intimate.
He sat close to Hilna, shoulder to shoulder, hip to hip. A kind of intimacy she had never felt before made Hilna unable to figure out what Kailun was doing, and she felt even more flustered.
“What?” She asked along with Kailun’s words.
“While you were locking yourself in your room, we had already won our first victory, killing more than 20,000 people from the Temple of the Heavenly God, and capturing more than 120,000 people. And we picked up a Saint along the way. The one who screamed the loudest last night was her.”
Kailun dropped a bombshell.
Hilna: “!!!”
Not to mention the great victory they had achieved, this devil not only captured the Saint of the Temple, but also did such a thing, was he crazy?
Thinking of the future revenge of the Temple of the Heavenly God, Hilna trembled with fear.
It’s over, this time the Kingdom of Xiya was really finished.
The Temple of the Heavenly God cared so much about face, if they knew that their Saint had been defiled by the enemy, they would definitely go crazy.
“Aren’t you excited? It’s okay, this is just the beginning. We have already arrived in the territory of the Kingdom of Malaga, and in two days we will be able to reach the capital and take down the entire Kingdom of Malaga. After that, we will march westward, fighting as we go, and eventually defeat the Temple of the Heavenly God.”
Kailun described his plan, half-truthfully.
Hearing Kailun’s bold words, Hilna hugged her head in pain.
In her opinion, Kailun must be crazy, doing so was tantamount to courting death.
It was the top forces that determined the world order, and the Kingdom of Xiya, a country that couldn’t even produce an eighth-rank, how dare he challenge the Temple of the Heavenly God?
Hilna had never thought of provoking the Temple of the Heavenly God. In her previous plan, she only dared to threaten Harry with poison and did not intend to kill him.
However, Kailun’s behavior was tantamount to plucking hair from the Pope’s head.
“Don’t do this, okay? I beg you, you can do whatever you want to me, don’t harm the entire Kingdom of Xiya because of this, those civilians are innocent. You are too crazy, you will harm everyone, the Temple of the Heavenly God is too strong, no one can resist them, I beg you to give up.”
Hilna put down the apple and hugged Kailun’s arm.
“No, why should I listen to you? And what’s the difference between what I did and what you did? In other words, Princess, have you really considered the lives of those civilians?”
Kailun pinched Hilna’s cheek with a smile: “I really hate you, I hate your ruthlessness in the past when you only cared about your own interests, and I hate your hypocrisy after losing everything. Should I expose you? You don’t care about the lives of those people, you are just finding an excuse for yourself so that you don’t look too defeated after your downfall. Oh! The princess who sacrificed herself for the country and the people! You still can’t forget your identity, you still maintain the pride of a high and mighty princess.”
In Kailun’s opinion, Hilna’s performance before and after was clearly contradictory.
In her previous life, she acted willfully and caused many irreparable tragedies. The so-called civilians were nothing more than insignificant consumables. This was her after she became queen.
Now, after her defeat, she cared about the civilians. Wasn’t this ridiculous?
“You may not know, but under my leadership, the civilians you care about are living a better life. The trade that had fallen to freezing point has begun to improve. In a while, the Kingdom of Xiya will completely open up the trade route with the Kingdom of Malaga and become the center of the world. Yes, it will become the center of the whole world, the center of both humans and the abyss. I will let you see the gap between you and me, and I will show you everything you can’t do.”
Kailun caressed Hilna’s smooth face and looked at the emotions hidden in her eyes.
If he wanted to break Hilna’s heart, in addition to destroying her pride, he also had to tear apart the hypocritical golden body she had created for herself.
Jealousy could drive a person crazy, and it could also drive a person to despair.
No matter how deeply she hid her jealousy, Kailun would dig it out bit by bit.
[I’m not, not hypocritical… Although Hilna kept denying it in her heart, she was still shaken. Favorability -1, Total favorability -99]
“I’m not that kind of person.” She looked up at Kailun.
“If you say you’re not, then you’re not.” Kailun didn’t choose to convince her.
He picked up the apple that had fallen on the bed and put it in Hilna’s hand: “Eat well and don’t starve yourself. You are an important witness, and I don’t want you to miss out on the future. Do you understand?”
He rubbed her head, and Kailun returned to his intimate appearance.
“Hmm… Crunch~”
Hilna took small bites of the apple, she was really hungry.
The once-broken Winnie became well-behaved. It was unknown what the broken princess would become.
Some people, instead of living, might as well be broken.
……
“Kailson, can’t we go faster? Why do we have to stay in this mobile palace and move slowly?”
In Kailson’s mobile palace, the Holy Son was pacing anxiously in the room.
Last night, he received a message from the Saint, the content of which was very simple.
[Saint: Save me, Kailun, that devil wants to bully me, their highest combat power is only seventh-rank, about three people. I don’t want to fall into his hands, I don’t want…]
Because of the Saint’s message, he hadn’t slept all night, but Kailson was staying in the mobile palace, studying magic unhurriedly.
Looking at Kailson who was studying the eighth-rank scroll, he said again: “And wouldn’t we be exposing our location by moving forward so swaggeringly?”
Kailson was annoyed by the Holy Son, he patted the scroll on the table and said: “Remember to add ‘senior’ when you address me, you have to remember this. As for why I want to stay in the mobile palace, it is naturally to study magic. I will be heartbroken to the point of not being able to breathe if I waste a day, do you know that? I know about exposing our whereabouts, and that is what I want. Judging from the information sent back from the front line, the Kingdom of Xiya will have a war with the Kingdom of Malaga. Justin and the others chose to defend the capital, so the decisive battle will probably be in two or three days. When we get close to the Kingdom of Malaga, I will take you to leave alone with magic and speed up, catching them off guard.”
Thinking of his perfect plan, Kailson smiled: “I bet that Kailun would never have thought that when his army pressed on, I would appear in his rear. At that time, not only can I let you personally rescue the Saint, but I can also disable that Kailun at close range and tie him up directly. What is this called? This is called the confidence of an eighth-rank. When you reach this realm in the future, you will understand how big the gap between eighth-rank and seventh-rank is.”
Hearing this, the Holy Son’s eyes lit up: “Senior Kailson is brilliant, it was this junior who was impatient.”
