Maclean Lyons heard these words, his face was very calm.
“Did you anticipate this?” Robin looked at Maclean Lyons.
“Yes,” Maclean Lyons said, his face calm, but when he spoke, he seemed to have aged ten years. He was powerless. After all, that was his clan, and his only daughter. How could he not be upset in his heart?
But he still said, “When His Majesty was young, his family was not well-off. He was not a true heir. On the contrary, he was a distant branch that couldn’t be more distant. At that time, my family was already wealthy. The real decision to invest in His Majesty was when I saw him kill the dog he had raised for several years and happily eat its meat. I knew then, this kid, will be extraordinary in the future.”
“So, I put all my wealth on him, including my only daughter. At that time, my daughter was only nine years old, and he was thirteen. Later, he didn’t let me down. He was very young, but he was already ruthless. In just a few years, he had gained a large amount of power. Finally, at the age of seventeen, he ascended to the throne.”
“Later on, he laid low for ten years, a full decade. For a seventeen-year-old, full of youthful vigor, and also a budding emperor, to be inactive for ten years, it’s obvious what kind of patience he possessed. But during these ten years, no one noticed anything amiss in South Land. The army grew stronger, the number of horses and generals increased, and his majesty’s intentions became increasingly incomprehensible, to the point where there were many things that even I didn’t know, such as the cooperation with the Harding clan. Everyone was kept in the dark about this matter.”
“That includes me, and includes Aston Jones. Later on, it was a sudden outbreak. An army of half a million allied with the Harding clan and directly broke through the South Border. The Harding clan held off the Kisia soldiers from above. In addition, we contacted other countries. Once other borders moved their troops, then other countries would have the opportunity to take advantage. At that time, what Kisia would lose would not only be the South Province.”
“The Harding clan, the Temple, South Land, three major powers, such a flawless plan, prepared after laying low for ten years, but in the end, there was a leak. The Harding clan didn’t stop you.”
Maclean Lyons looked at Robin, his gaze steady.
Yes. This flawless plan had a mistake in the final link.
Stillwater, this crucial place, saw the appearance of Kisia’s God of War. This God of War of Kisia, not only appeared, but also brought a hundred thousand cavalry.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have led to the current situation.
South Province should have belonged to South Land long ago.
“To be honest, it’s really a coincidence. I didn’t discover your plan. The reason I appeared in Kisia was purely to find my wife, and the reason I had a hundred thousand cavalry was to control the situation. I didn’t expect the current situation.”
Robin shook his head.
He really didn’t expect this situation.
He returned only knowing that he had a daughter, and his wife was still waiting for him. He even gave up the position of the highest military officer in Kisia.
Just to make up for the debts he owed to his wife over the years.
But who would have thought that in the process of making up, he accidentally broke a plan that had been lurking for ten years.
“Whether it’s a mistake or whatever, it actually proves that you, South Land, can’t destroy us, Kisia. On the contrary, one day, I will lead the army and confront your Lord Whiteford.” Robin said.
“Dream on.”
Maclean Lyons spat out these words, then laughed, “South Land, strong and well-equipped, populous and with many generals, and the emperor is even more brilliant and resourceful, an emperor for all ages. Why would he lose, why would he lose.”
“What if he loses?” Robin asked lightly.
“If he really loses, I can promise you anything.”
Maclean Lyons, in his fifties, stroked his beard.
“Alright.”
Robin nodded, then looked at Maclean Lyons after a while, “Aren’t you going to make demands on me?”
“If you lose, South Land won’t let you live. There’s no need to make demands.”
If Robin loses, then his life is forfeit. Whether demands are made or not, it makes no difference.
“Alright.”
After saying this, Robin also stood up and left.
There were no guards assigned.
No other restrictions either.
Maclean Lyons wouldn’t leave. Besides, even if he left now, he had nowhere to go. His clan had been annihilated, with no survivors. Where could he, a man in his fifties, go?
After Robin left, Maclean Lyons laughed at himself.
“Why bother? South Land has already annihilated my clan and killed my daughter. Why should I worry about South Land? Whether South Land wins or loses, it has nothing to do with me anymore… it has nothing to do with me… haha… haha…” His laughter echoed, one burst after another.
The destruction of his clan would inevitably have a significant impact on this man in his sixties.
“The hearts of emperors are the cruellest. Lord Whiteford, you are ruthless. My daughter has been with you since she was nine. I thought you would spare her… I never thought… haha… I both saw people correctly… and misjudged people…”
In this hotel, the sound of self-deprecating laughter was heard, carrying a trace of bitterness and rage.
When he had invested years ago, he had valued Lord Whiteford’s ruthlessness. However, he never imagined that one day, it would turn on him.
After he left, he received a call from Jeff Reczek.
“General, South Land’s move was really ruthless, directly branding the Lyons family as traitors and executing them all. Now, everyone in South Land is united in their desire to destroy Kisia.”
As Jeff Reczek spoke, he spat contemptuously, “If they want to invade Kisia, just invade Kisia. Why find an excuse? Now it seems as if Kisia is in the wrong. Their Lord Whiteford, with his keen eyes, noticed something amiss and struck first. In the end, it all became Kisia’s fault. How shameless.”
“Now, South Land has a reason to attack.”
A strange light flashed in Robin’s eyes.
Initially, when South Land invaded Kisia, they didn’t have a strong reason, and South Land was not united. But now they had a reason: Maclean Lyons had betrayed South Land, personally delivered a hundred thousand soldiers of South Land, and finally surrendered.
From this, it could be seen that Kisia had long been itching to move against South Land.
If they did not resist, they would be annihilated.
Therefore, South Land had to fight and flatten Kisia.
They had their reasons, the previous chaos within the army had been restored, and the morale was even stronger. After all, most people did not like traitors and would like nothing better than to eat their flesh alive.
“Lord Whiteford, as expected, is not an ordinary man.”
