The brave man opened the coffin and rose

Chapter 147 The Future Doesn’t Come Overnight

The war in the royal capital ended in a rather disjointed manner.

But what followed was drastic changes.

In order to survive, the disciple of old Winston naturally continued to play the identity of Robert Bernadotte Jr.

And then, an imperial edict was enough to make those fence-sitter armed forces in the city lay down their weapons.

If it were a warlord or someone else who entered the royal capital, they probably wouldn't be so obedient.

But when they actually witnessed the team led by Abes marching into the royal capital, waves of exclamation still emanated from their throats.

Uniform and orderly...no stealing, no robbing, no smashing, no burning.

According to the leader named Abes, those who laid down their weapons only needed to undergo a certain degree of re-education. After that, it would be up to them to devote themselves to work or join their team.

If it were other people, they would probably worry that after handing over their weapons, they would be subjected to an inhumane massacre.

But the team before them is enough to make them believe and trust.

Massacres are often carried out after a long-held city is captured. It is a punishment for the enemy and also a reward for the soldiers.

However, their confrontation was definitely not very long, and it was hard to say whether it was morally necessary for these teams, who had to queue up even to set up camp and eat, to demonstrate their strength and deterrence through slaughter and destruction.

Besides, they seem to have a portal that is continuously transporting supplies.

We have neither shortage of this nor that, and the time and loss of confrontation are not great, so there is no need to use this method to generate encouragement.

Therefore, after everyone had settled down, the soldiers in the royal capital cooperated well and completed the handover.

Except for the group that came out of the palace, there were also groups of people directly under the king's control.

On the one hand, the "king" who has the will but not the courage to do something obviously wants to hold on to a group of forces in case of any unexpected events. Who knows whether the words of this ancient hero are still true?

But on the other hand, he was also afraid that these senior soldiers loyal to the king would see through his abnormality and disguise - now there was no teacher to write transformation scrolls for him, and if he wanted to maintain this body for 24 hours, he would need to spend a lot of time copying scrolls himself.

Therefore, after discussing with Abes, only a team of six people remained out of the team of more than 20 people to guard outside the "king's" bedroom and study.

After disrupting the surrender of the city's soldiers and transporting them back to Sweetleaf Town via the teleportation stone tablet, the defense of the royal capital was taken over by Philip and his men.

Abes stopped them from killing the "king" and the chief wizard. In exchange, this group of friendly forces, with whom they had not yet completely opened up, had to give some sweet treats.

Handing over the defense of the royal capital to them was a statement that Abes trusted them.

Soon, in the study, Abes received a visit from Philip.

Seeing that the rugged tiefling was dressed properly again, Abes also asked him to sit down.

"How is it, how does it feel to be in the capital?"

"I know you entrusted the defense of the capital to us because you trusted us... but I still hope that Master Abes can explain it more clearly."

As expected, the first thing the tiefling inquired about was the fate of the officials and nobles in the capital.

They are criminals and bandits, people who have been summoned and dismissed at will by the law, officials and warlords, and have been toyed with for a long time. It would be unacceptable not to give them an answer.

They have already put forward the slogan of "Gu Bei Tu Nan", but they will never bow their heads because of a so-called edict of amnesty.

Abes tapped his fingers, "I know you're afraid that the fruits of your uprising will be stolen, but with your current strength, you can only take over the capital through peaceful means."

"Besides, peaceful means never mean injustice."

Then, Abes explained the theory of equal retaliation that he had already promoted among his tribesmen.

"If I say I want to change the dynasty and change the small Kingdom of Womuza to the Kingdom of Bravery or something else, guess how much resistance there will be both at home and abroad?"

"But if I give up this hand, even protect the 'king', and announce that I will verify the ministers and minor nobles in the capital, guess how much resistance there will be?"

If there is opposition to opening the window, then as long as you propose to lift the roof, then opening the window will not be a difficult task.

If he declared the end of the small kingdom of Wommza, the capital would be in turmoil before the attacks from domestic warlords and the threats from abroad.

But now, if he just said that he wanted to investigate the ministers and minor nobles, then they, who were originally united as one, would suddenly disperse.

As he spoke, Abes placed the letters and papers he had received in front of Philip.

"Look, I haven't even made my request yet, and even the interview with their king has just ended, but the information has already been presented to me."

Tiefling grabbed it and after examining it, he felt angry and amused.

Some begged for mercy, some informed on others, and some swore allegiance.

Sure enough, as long as they don't take off the top, they will never be united.

Even though everyone dares to say that they are not clean, they always have a sense of luck, thinking that there will be others who will suffer before them, and that Abes Grande, who is currently in charge of the royal capital, will stop at some point.

"Look, if we just take off a little bit, we can easily get the problems and weaknesses exposed by their mutual attacks."

"King Robert the Younger is certainly a sinner, but before we bring him to trial, we can list the sins of the others one by one."

"Otherwise, if we took off the top but didn't clean up the bottom, that would be our real sin..."

At this point, Abes sighed deeply, and then gave some possible examples.

"Can you imagine that when you and I achieve success, we can change the small kingdom of Womuza into a more fair and just political system like the Republic City or the United City-States?"

"As a result, these ministers and petty nobles who flatter you and me suddenly change themselves into titles such as parliamentarians, mayors, and first leaders?"

"So," Abes paused and repeated the arrangements he had arranged for Gaviling and others to carry out.

"The birth of the evil leader is the result of the evil thoughts in everyone's heart. For the situation where the 'king' is willing to cooperate with Wangdu, since they want fairness and justice, we will give him fairness and justice, from the chain of evidence to witnesses and physical evidence, no matter how much there is, we will arrange it for him."

"After those ministers and minor nobles are executed, they will need to be educated so that our people can fill the gaps."

"A beautiful and fair future should be achieved through hard work. Without the corresponding training, you won't have the corresponding qualities to perform the corresponding work. Or do you think that a fair and just North can be achieved by just conquering it like this?"

"The future is not created overnight, Tiefling..."

Philip, on the other hand, was still visibly confused, as if he was still in shock at the words Abes had just mentioned, such as fairness, justice, education system, and quality improvement.

It was obvious that, as a northerner, he was no stranger to the legends of the brave.

After confirming that Abes Grande did have that extraordinary power, he indeed developed a sense of security and comfort. In his opinion, as long as he lay down and followed the other party, he could enter the royal capital and then kill all the high-ranking nobles. The bright future of the small kingdom of Wommza would come.

The same goes for the future of the entire North. Just step into the territory and fight to the death.

Just shoot them down and kill them all...

This kind of thought was suddenly awakened by Abes at this moment.

The future is not achieved overnight!
