“General Woods, what do you mean?”
Those present were all seasoned foxes, sharp as tacks. They instantly discerned the hidden meaning in Earl Woods’s words!
“You tell me,” Earl Woods, his face extremely grave, asked, “Could such a possibility exist?”
“Lilies Archer!”
“Her ambition is far greater than merely occupying Fort South!”
“Or maybe!”
“She knows King Ron is ruthless and wouldn’t let her sit securely on the throne of Fort South!”
“So!”
“She secretly allies with Sean, pointing their blades at King Ron, hoping to seize the opportunity of King Ron’s core being damaged, to eliminate King Ron and seize the reigns of Shirine Empire?”
Earl Woods, a tall and powerful man, with an exceptionally sharp mind, despite taking a punch from Sean and being poisoned, quickly caught onto something unusual from this punch and this poison!
Even more, he guessed the purpose of Sean and Lilies Archer!!!
However, his speculation was too audacious and not readily accepted!
“This…”
The members of the North Kingdom delegation glanced at each other, thought carefully, but still shook their heads, saying, “General Woods, as you saw, Sean can’t shoulder anything now, can’t lift his hand, lying on the stretcher like a dead dog, even struggling to move!”
“That punch just now!”
“It must have exhausted all the bright energy he had recovered along the journey!”
“Moreover, here!”
“This is the Imperial City of the Shirine Empire, heavily guarded by royal guards inside and defended strictly by imperial guards outside. How could it be easy to kill King Ron?”
“Not to mention him!”
“Even for us, who have risked so much to come here, even with the assistance of Eliott Garner, the commander of the royal guards, we dare not say we have full confidence in succeeding!”
Difficult!
Too difficult!!!
To assassinate The Padishah in the Shirine Empire’s Imperial City, full of cultivators, is like climbing to the heavens!
Otherwise, Earl Woods wouldn’t have brought twenty Complete Stage cultivators on this trip!
Relying on Sean alone… and Sean is already severely injured!
Like King Ron, they simply couldn’t figure out what tricks Sean could pull off!!!
“I also think it’s impossible,” others began to agree, “Even if Lilies Archer’s poison technique is unparalleled in the world, even if she has secretly allied with Sean, even if she really has the ability to poison within Sean’s bright energy!”
“But!”
“Sean is now in the hands of King Ron. How could King Ron allow him to recover his bright energy?”
“And even if!”
“Even if he could recover a portion of his bright energy silently tonight, as he did on the way back to the capital in the daylight, gaining the strength for one strike!”
“But!”
“His sudden attack only managed to injure General Woods. The so-called severe poison has been forced out of General Woods’s body and is no longer a threat!”
“Tell me!”
“Can King Ron not do what General Woods can do?”
“Even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse!”
“In my opinion!”
“If Sean wants to use his poisoned bright energy against King Ron, it’s like a fool’s dream, impossible to achieve!!!”
After such analysis, it seemed that everyone’s words made sense, completely negating Earl Woods’s speculation!
“Perhaps!”
“I’m overthinking!”
“Perhaps!”
“Sean has means unknown to us to deal with King Ron!”
Earl Woods took a deep breath, unable to convince the North Kingdom delegation without solid proof. But deep down, he firmly believed that Sean would not sit back and await death!
As the saying goes, the one who knows you best is not your friend, but your enemy!
Earl Woods is Sean’s archenemy!
Therefore, Earl Woods had his own judgment. He didn’t attempt further to convince the North Kingdom delegation, snorting coldly, “If Sean can risk it all and pose a threat to King Ron, it’s only beneficial for us, no harm!”
“If they hurt each other, we can take advantage of the situation!”
“If!”
“Sean ends up dead, then we’ll take action ourselves!”
“Tomorrow!”
“Everything proceeds as originally planned, we must turn this Shirine Empire Imperial City upside down!!!”
Sean’s target is King Ron!
And the target of Earl Woods and others on this trip is also King Ron!
Therefore, even after being hit and poisoned by Sean, Earl Woods at this moment is very hopeful, hoping that Sean can make a move…
This night!
Destined to be sleepless!
The Imperial City was fraught with undercurrents, various forces were scheming against each other, each with their own plans and arrangements!
Inside the Palace of Wolf!
Pupil Wolf and Spirit Wolf, among others, were all severely injured, lying in a room in the loft. After a day of rest and treatment, although their injuries had stabilized, their faces looked worse than one another!
Their moods were even more terrible!
Because! They had also heard the news of Sean’s arrival in the capital, knowing that Sean was vilified by the people of the capital on his way into the Imperial City, and was truly branded with the heinous crime of treason!!!
Angry! Unwilling! But powerless!!!
No one understood better than they did, how many times Sean had faced life and death on the battlefield in the North in these years, how much effort and sacrifice he had made to protect the northern territory of the Shirine Empire!
However! In the end, the hero who protected the country turned into a traitor in the blink of an eye!!!
Cecilia was washing her face with tears!
Until! At around two in the morning, after Cecilia had lulled Phyllis to sleep, she sat alone on the bed in a daze for a long, long time, not knowing the exact time, when the blood jade ring on the ring finger of her right hand suddenly gave off a warm feeling.
Immediately after! There was a wave of inexplicable dizziness in her mind!
Then! Her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and her already swollen eyes involuntarily closed slowly, and she entered into sleep.
Cecilia had a dream!
In the dream! She saw Sean’s biological mother again!
