Bai Pu is the perfect mother of the Flesh and Blood Plague, capable of dismantling Gustav's army through the fluctuations of the Primordial Heart!

The lord's greatest reliance no longer exists. If they can't kill Lord under such circumstances, Bai Pu should give up on the idea of killing him for the time being.

Qin sighed lightly, "Around Gustav, there is a group of qualified individuals who have always been loyal to him. Even if you erase their Blood Ring Curse Seal, they will still fight for Gustav to the very last moment."

"Fortunately, I am not fighting alone," Bai Pu said with a smile.

Qin took a deep breath, as if making a resolute decision, "Of course, even if it brands me with infamy, I will fight alongside you."

After all, Qin is the Empress of the Blood Ring Empire. Fighting alongside Bai Pu to eliminate her husband Gustav would certainly become a topic of gossip.

Those who spread rumors wouldn't bother to understand in advance what Gustav has done to cause Qin's disheartenment.

Bai Pu said, "The helper I'm referring to is not you, but the Divine Luo Expeditionary Army. You shouldn't take part against Gustav. Otherwise, it might shake the legitimacy of your and Christina's succession to the Vasa Dynasty."

"Alright." Qin kissed Bai Pu's cheek, "Dior, you really are a gentle person. Thank you for considering my predicament."

Bai Pu held her hand and strode out of the bedchamber.

...

Chukrona Castle, the former Blood Ring Palace.

Political Hall.

Princess Christina sat on the throne.

Under Qin's meticulous care, Christina's complexion had improved significantly. Her golden hair began to regain its luster, and her once withered cheeks became fair and delicate.

Only her timid little eyes still revealed a sense of fear, frequently glancing toward Qin, tightly grasping Qin's right hand.

She resembled a frightened kitten seeking comfort from its owner.

Bai Pu, dressed in a neatly pressed noble military uniform, stood on Christina's other side.

The ministers below couldn't help but doubt that such a timid girl could truly uphold the great Swedish Empire.

However, seeing Qin sitting beside her, with eyes deep as the ocean and ubiquitous insight, their doubts were half dissipated.

And seeing Bai Pu standing on the other side, with a tall, strong figure exuding an imposing aura like towering mountains, all doubts of the ministers were completely dispelled.

Qin simply announced that due to Gustav's outrageous actions, which stirred unanimous opposition among the common people and led to the decline of Sweden's livelihood, the time for change was inevitable.

Following popular will, in the name of the ancestral precepts of the Vasa Dynasty, Gustav's throne was deprived and handed down to Princess Christina. Since the princess was not yet an adult, Qin would act as regent in the capacity of Empress Dowager.

At least procedurally, this was legal.

Moreover, after Bai Pu's Talent Tree was activated, the connection between the Source Blood Apostle and Bai Pu became more concealed. Those with template priority lower than Bai Pu could not detect the master-slave relationship between Bai Pu and Qin.

The only one capable of seeing through this relationship was Prime Minister Oxensterna, but he had already accepted this reality. For Prime Minister Oxensterna, the bottom line was that the heir on the throne could not be Bai Pu's slave.

The upcoming decrees focused on clearing the influence of the Blood Ring Army and restoring the freedom of farm peasants across the territories.

Of course, Gustav's threat remained the most urgent. The administrative bureaucrats of the Blood Ring Empire dared not speak up—they thought Bai Pu and Qin's ability to eliminate the Blood Ring Curse Seal was significant, but Gustav's long-standing might was deeply ingrained.

Counting on these ministers to discuss military strategy against Gustav was akin to outright sabotage.

Bai Pu directly dismissed these ministers, leaving only those he trusted.

Like Yvette, and the once-disguised queen, Qin's personal maid, Maggie.

It needs to be explained that Yvette was still somewhat confused. Since joining the Guardian Knight Order two years ago, the mistress she saw was Maggie, and she always thought Maggie was the real queen.

Now, Maggie informed her that the true queen was the Erudite Scholar Qin! Qin is the mistress she needed to serve.

Previously, it was also Maggie who sent Yvette to Brandon for assistance. It was Qin's prior instruction to notify her if the treatment of the princess severely deteriorated.

—That time was precisely when the treatment of the princess severely deteriorated, being confined in a bunker, even Maggie couldn't see her.

Because Maggie knew that Brandon was her own queen's maternal home, Yvette going to Brandon Territory would surely meet Qin.

Yvette's worldview was shattered, and she was still striving to rebuild it.

"Our banner is called the 'Swedish Rebel Army,' we represent the people, and we are the army resisting Gustav's tyranny! Dior is our commander, whose heart beats the drum of freedom!"

With no "outsiders," Qin spoke much more directly. Glancing at Gawain, Yvette, and Yingwa, she spoke in an uncompromising tone,

"We will ally with the Holy Roman Empire Expeditionary Army. Once the alliance is forged, we will attack the monstrous Blood Ring Army from north and south! According to the discussions between Dior and me, I will stay in the royal capital for logistical support, and Dior will lead you southward."

"The Swedish Rebel Army" is nominally formed by people resisting Gustav's tyranny, but in reality, it was mostly composed of mutants.

These mutants originally belonged to the Blood Ring Mutant Corps, and were transformed by Bai Pu erasing their Blood Ring Curse Seal, followed by new curse seals imposed by Qin for control and reorganization.

The people remaining in the Political Hall naturally would not oppose the orders discussed by Qin and Bai Pu.

Thus, an army of a thousand set out southward from Stockholm.

The number was a bit small, but it was the entire result of Bai Pu and Qin's reorganization efforts at that time.

After all, Gustav led his army on a personal expedition, taking away most of the forces, leaving only a small number of the Blood Ring troops garrisoned in Stockholm.

Bai Pu simultaneously received a prompt: World Event: Blood Rose War (Final Chapter) has begun.

It seems even the Spirit Realm Will did not expect that just as the war commenced, Bai Pu managed to make a surprise breakthrough.

The complicated, up-and-down war processes in-between were crudely bypassed, leaving only the final chapter.

One wonders, for whom is this final chapter written? For the Blood Ring Emperor Gustav or the fleeting Swedish Rebel Army?

In the Jotland Region, at the renowned Linköping Cathedral, the Swedish Rebel Army and Gustav's Blood Ring Army finally collided.

Since the lower layers of both armies mainly consisted of mutant monsters, there was no need for morale or rest. Therefore, with no preliminaries, the battle erupted instantly upon encounter!
