Chapter 533: Chapter 506: Deployment

Ronin and David intercepted a speeding Griffin Knight in the air. After some questioning, they learned he had come to deliver a letter to Ronin.

Furthermore, it wasn’t just a letter for him in Mist City; the Royal Family’s Griffin Knight Order had dispatched numerous Griffin Knights to deliver letters to various nobles, including Gushan, Ibn, and the lords of Black Jade Bay near the border.

Ronin took the letter. The gist of it was that His Majesty Bruno had been assassinated and was on the brink of death, and it summoned Ronin and the other high nobles to Golden Feather City before the tenth of the month to discuss important matters.

Although the letter said Bruno was near death, Ronin was certain a palace coup had occurred. ’His Majesty the King is most likely already gone.’

’Summoning me to Golden Feather Palace now is obviously a trap.’

He also had reason to suspect that the letters the Griffin Knights delivered to Ibn, Gushan, and the others had different contents from his own.

After all, Sanburn had said that Oduin’s nobles might coordinate with Mo’er City in a pincer attack against Mist Castle.

’Thinking about it carefully, only Gushan of Red Pine Castle and Ibn, the Count of Double Peaks Ridge, have the capability to do so.’

’Both of them are Knights with one foot in the Proud Sun realm and have many fierce commanders under them. It seems leaving Ridder to guard Mist City is absolutely necessary.’

"My lord, now that the letter has been delivered, I will be returning," the Griffin Knight messenger said.

Ronin asked, "Are you one of Broel’s men?"

"Yes, Lord Duke."

"Did Broel order you to deliver this letter? Also, how is he now?"

Bruno trusted Broel deeply and usually entrusted many matters to him. If a coup had happened, Ronin was very curious about what role Broel had played in it.

"Lord Broel was gravely injured while protecting His Majesty and is now recuperating. The affairs of the Griffin Knight Order are temporarily being managed by the Crown Prince. Sending letters to the various territories was His Highness’s arrangement."

Ronin nodded slowly. ’It seems Broel has been stripped of his power.’

He then asked a few more questions. Although the man answered truthfully, he was not clear on the specific details of what had transpired in Golden Feather Palace.

"Alright, you may go back."

Ronin hovered in the air, lost in thought.

Garrett’s series of moves had been executed seamlessly, and his timing was perfect.

However, based on Ronin’s understanding of him, the arrogant, conceited, and intolerant Crown Prince shouldn’t have been capable of planning and arranging so many things on his own.

’He most likely received support and guidance from someone, like a brute who only knows how to fight suddenly gaining an incompetent advisor.’

’It seems their plan is to carve up Wushan Territory and Moonlight Valley, completely crushing the Wushan Clan.’

"David, return to Wubei Territory at once. Tell Leader Rig to strengthen the territory’s defenses. Someone might attack our port. If he runs into trouble, have him seek help from Simon."

As Ronin spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his Space Ring, using his Spiritual Power to control a pen and write quickly upon it.

"Deliver this letter to Bellora Great Mage."

In the last naval battle, the decisive victory at Rapids Island was mainly due to Carlos.

This time, Carlos was not here. If the Earl of Scream Island decided to attack Rapids Island again, Karda alone would clearly not be enough.

Therefore, Ronin wanted to ask Bellora for help in protecting Rapids Island. He believed that the allure of a few Seventh-level Dragon Scales would be enough to convince her to act.

After arranging all this, Ronin once again flew north at top speed. However, he didn’t head directly for Golden Feather City, but first made a trip to Wushan Castle.

By this time, Lurans had also received the message from the Royal Capital. Given his experience and his deductions about the unusual movements on the border, he knew there must have been a major upheaval in the capital and was extremely anxious.

He had just mounted his Griffin, preparing to find Ronin in Wubei Territory first, but he hadn’t expected Ronin to already be at Wushan Castle.

"You’ve received the news, haven’t you?"

Lurans led Ronin to the study and said immediately, "Golden Feather City is clearly a trap this time. I’ll go. You can’t!"

Ronin said helplessly, "I have to go. Carlos and Blanche are already in Golden Feather City."

BAM!

Lurans slammed his hand on the desk, his eyes wide with anger. "What? You’re saying Blanche has already returned to the Royal Capital?"

A rare look of anxiety and panic appeared on the old man’s face. He paced around the room. "What do we do? Blanche is pregnant! It would have been fine if His Majesty Bruno was around, but if he’s gone, will they harm the child?"

"This won’t do! We must set out for the Royal Capital immediately!"

Of course, Ronin was worried about his wife and child, but there were still things he had to arrange. After all, this was not a matter that concerned him alone.

"The one Garrett wants to lure is me. They shouldn’t do anything to Blanche before I get there."

Ronin said, "Grandfather, I came to you this time because I need you to mobilize all the nobles of Wubei Territory. We may be facing a war of extermination against the Wushan Clan. Our enemies will include Ferrensburg, Villa, Screaming Island, and even the Royal Capital."

"What about the Royal Capital, then? Are you going alone?"

Lurans stared intently at Ronin. "Your uncle, Gremes, died in a conspiracy. After more than thirty years, I don’t want to see my grandson die in a Royal Family conspiracy as well!"

"Don’t worry, Grandfather. I’m confident I can get away safely."

Ronin was full of confidence. "I have now set foot into the Legendary realm and mastered a powerful killing move. Even if I’m surrounded and attacked by many, I can still retreat unscathed!"

"What did you say? Legendary?"

Lurans was shocked. "You’ve become Legendary?"

Ronin smiled and nodded. "Yes, Grandfather. That’s why I hope you can remain in the territory and manage the defenses facing Villa Duchy and Screaming Island."

Lurans nodded slowly. He didn’t understand what being Legendary truly meant, but he had great confidence in Ronin.

"In that case, I’ll follow your arrangements. I’ve already sent Melonika to Black Pine Mountain, but he’s not enough to face Villa Duchy. I’ll mobilize more men."

As he spoke, he looked at Ronin seriously. "The House of Oduin already owes the Wushan Clan a great debt. If this trip to Golden Feather City doesn’t go smoothly, or if something happens to Blanche..."

"Then we will overthrow their rule and declare ourselves king!" Ronin declared firmly.

"Haha, good!"

Lurans clapped Ronin on the shoulder. "Be careful!"

Ronin bid farewell to Lurans and traveled through the night, arriving above Golden Feather Palace at an incredible speed.

Through their spiritual connection, Ronin could sense Carlos’s current exhaustion.

As the distance between them closed, they were able to communicate through their souls.

Only then did Ronin learn that Elron had also come with Blanche.

His Spiritual Power swept across the Royal Palace, and he sensed Blanche’s energy fluctuations in Moon Shadow Palace. ’Her condition seems to be fine.’

He also detected the Power of Light within Moon Shadow Palace, which had to be Elron.

However, compared to his peak state, Elron’s current Magic Power was greatly diminished, indicating significant exertion.

’They are heavily surrounded, but thankfully, they’re all okay.’

Ronin could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The high-speed journey had taken a considerable toll on him. To prepare for the intense conflict ahead, he needed to recover.

Ronin also took this opportunity to gather the latest intelligence on the Royal Capital.
