Chapter 1127 The plan is finalized
After listening to Capitano's explanation of the Ice God Plan, Sora felt a little strange. "Then why did you ask Night God to come to me so late at night? You should go find Mavica."
"Shouldn't you be contacting me about this? The target of the God's Heart seizure is Nata, the Fire Goddess Mavika. She's the one you should be contacting."
"I am the prince of the Abyss Cult. I stand on a different side from Zhidong and Nata. The Ice God's plan doesn't target me directly, so there seems no need for us to meet specifically for this matter."
Capitano's consciousness didn't directly answer Sora's question. Instead, it turned its gaze towards Yuan Shang beside Sora and explained calmly:
"Your Highness, the Crown Prince, things are not what you think."
"When I met Mr. Fuchigami before, your subordinate, Mr. Fuchigami, once said that the Abyss Cult could 'shelter' me and provide me with a way out. That's why I chose to contact you through Ye Shen when the situation became urgent."
"what?!"
When Kong heard the word "shelter", he instantly turned his head and looked at Yuan Shang with a glare that looked like he was going to devour someone. He said viciously:
"Yuan Shang! Did you think I was dead? How dare you make such an important decision without consulting me!"
Yuan Shang was stared at by Kong's angry gaze, and his whole body stiffened instantly. He felt uneasy and even had a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
He quickly stepped forward, defended himself anxiously, and expressed his loyalty.
"Your Highness, I'm doing this to increase the strength of the cult! Mr. Thrane is very powerful. If we can get him to join the cult, it will be of great help to our subsequent restoration plan!"
"I thought this was a good thing, so I thought of communicating with him first and reporting back to you once things were clear!"
After saying this, he turned to look at Capitano and said with a bit of grievance and eagerness:
"Besides, Mr. Thrane, you clearly said before that the matter of 'asylum' should be treated as if it never happened. How can you suddenly bring it up now? Isn't this putting me in a difficult position?"
Capitano's consciousness looked at the tense situation before him and immediately pleaded with Sora:
"I'm sorry, Your Highness, this incident is not Mr. Fuchigami's fault. It's mainly an emergency."
"I just received the Queen's order tonight. I know the situation has reached a critical point and there is no time to wait any longer, so I took the liberty to bring this up."
"I was inconsiderate and rude. Please forgive my recklessness."
Seeing the focus of the conflict shift to Capitano, Kong took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and gave Yuan Shang a cold look that said "I'll deal with you later".
The warning in his eyes was so strong that Yuan Shang instantly shrank his neck and dared not speak out to defend himself.
Sora turned his gaze back to Capitano's consciousness and said:
"I don't mind if you join our Abyssal Cult, Mr. Thrane. After all, your strength is obvious to all, and it can provide us with a lot of help in our fight against the law of nature."
"But I know there's no such thing as a free lunch, especially for someone like you who once harbored hostility towards the Abyss. If you have any conditions, please state them directly."
Seeing that Kong was so straightforward and without any hesitation, Capitano stopped hiding his thoughts and stated his request directly.
"Your Highness, you are right. I do have two conditions for joining the Abyss Cult."
"First, I need you to try your best to convince Mr. Shao Yun to 'kill' me. Of course, this is just a fake death, the purpose is to create the illusion that I died in battle, so that the Dongfeng side will mistakenly believe that I have died in battle."
"With the deterrent effect of Mr. Shao Yun's previous killing of the Fatui executive, Zhidong will inevitably be cautious and temporarily slow down his attack on Nata, buying Nata more breathing space and allowing them to prepare for subsequent crises."
Then Capitano stated the second condition.
"Secondly, once I officially join the Abyss Cult, if there's a need to fight against Heavenly Justice in the future, I can give everything I have and contribute my strength without reservation."
"But if I am asked to participate in actions that harm ordinary people or attack innocent people, I will disobey."
"I have witnessed the devastation that war brings to civilians and I don't want innocent people to suffer because of our goals."
"If restoring my country requires stepping on the blood of innocent people, then I would rather let my homeland be completely buried in the yellow sands of history!"
(Capitano: Crusader of Lawful Good!)
Sora listened quietly to Capitano's conditions, his fingers unconsciously stroking his chin, his facial expression gradually becoming more complicated.
When he heard "Mr. Shao Yun needs to 'kill' me", the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch, and he instantly revealed an expression of "wanting to die".
Who is Shao Yun? He is his newly married brother-in-law, the person Ying has entrusted her life to!
My sister and brother-in-law finally settled down on the ranch and got rid of the previous hustle and bustle. They just held their wedding today and it is time to enjoy the sweetness of their newlywed life.
Now he is asked to talk to Shao Yun about Capitano's request to "fake his death" and let Shao Yun participate in the dispute between the Fatui and Nata.
Isn't this dragging my brother-in-law into this mess? It's really putting me in a difficult position!
……
"I'll discuss this matter with Yuan Shang first. Give me five minutes." As soon as he finished speaking, Kong didn't care whether Capitano agreed or not. He reached out and grabbed Yuan Shang's arm and forcefully pulled him not far away.
Then, Sora's pent-up anger and frustration suddenly erupted.
He raised his hand and punched Yuan Shang hard on the forehead. The force was so great that Yuan Shang cried out in pain and subconsciously covered his forehead.
"Yuan Shang, are you sick?" Kong's voice was extremely low, but full of anger. "How dare you act first and report later when it comes to matters involving Shao Yun?"
"Do you know how much trouble this will bring to Ying and Shao Yun? They just got married today. Do you have any brains?"
Yuan Shang covered his forehead with his hands, his face full of guilt, not daring to raise his head, and blamed himself:
"Your Highness, I'm sorry... I really didn't mean to cause trouble for Your Highness and Mr. Shao Yun. I'm doing this for the development of the cult and for our Kanriya restoration plan!"
"Think about it, our plan to restore the country through meditation and weaving the veins of Kanriya is only 10% complete!"
"Time waits for no one. Heaven's will and those forces hostile to Kanriya may discover our actions at any time."
"Furthermore, the memories of many people in Kanria have been worn out beyond recognition..."
"Mr. Thrane, isn't he a great helper? I just want to gain more strength for the cult..."
When Kong heard about the "restoration plan" and the "people of Kanriya", the anger in his heart seemed to be poured with a bucket of cold water, and most of it dissipated in an instant.
He looked at Yuan Shang's self-blaming expression, and remembered that Yuan Shang had been loyally following him all these years, and he really cared about him.
Kong sighed, his tone softened considerably, but he still reminded him seriously:
"You... I know you're doing this for the good of the Order and for my own good, but can you please think more about the consequences before you act?"
"This is a secret plan. If anything goes wrong, all of us will die!!!"
Yuan Shang saw that Kong's tone had softened, and knowing that he no longer blamed him, he nodded quickly.
"I was wrong, Your Highness. I will consult with you before making any decisions next time. I will never make decisions on my own again..."
As he spoke, his gaze flickered towards the direction of Capitano's consciousness, and his voice became even lower.
"But, Your Highness, Mr. Thrane is also a Kanriyan after all. He has Kanriyan blood in his bones."
"You are the Prince of Kanreya. It's only natural that you should give him a chance, and give Kanreya a chance too... His joining us will really help us a lot."
Kong looked at Yuanshang, who was full of guilt, and thought of the difficulty of the plan to restore the country. He couldn't help but raise his hand to his forehead and sighed, temporarily acquiescing to Yuanshang's behavior of acting first and reporting later.
Never again!
"I'm really drunk. Next time you take any action, you must report it to me first, especially if it involves recruiting soldiers and other matters that involve the core of the cult!"
"No more making decisions on your own, you hear me?"
When Yuanshang heard that Kong didn't really blame him, he immediately knelt down in front of Kong with a plop.
"I'm sorry, Your Highness! I was reckless this time, but my loyalty is evident to all. I have absolutely no second thoughts. All my decisions are made for the sake of your great cause of restoring your country!"
Kong looked at Yuan Shang who was kneeling on the ground, and the last bit of dissatisfaction in his heart disappeared.
He shook his head helplessly, reached out his hand and helped Yuan Shang up, and earnestly advised: "Get up, get up."
"I know you have good intentions and want to do more for the Order, but the key to our restoration plan is secrecy. We can't afford any mistakes!"
After all, Yuan Shang has been following him for so many years that he is no longer just a subordinate, but now more like a family member.
Since we are family, we must be more tolerant...
……
Even though Kong had scolded Yuan Shang harshly just now, after calming down, he had to admit that what Yuan Shang said made sense.
If Capitano could get him to join the Abyss Order, it would indeed contribute to the national restoration plan and might even speed up the progress of compiling the Kanreya veins.
On second thought, there is no reason to refuse such a good deal.
Kong straightened his clothes and walked towards Capitano with Yuan Shang.
Capitano's consciousness had been quietly waiting. Seeing the two return, he hurried forward and asked, "Your Highness, what do you think?"
Sora nodded and spoke candidly about the current situation.
"Well, I welcome you to join the Abyss Cult. Your strength and memory are indeed very important to us. I can guarantee your second condition."
"However, regarding the first condition of having my brother-in-law Shao Yun help you 'fake your death', I can't make the decision for him. I need to discuss it with him personally. This may take a few days. I have to find a suitable opportunity to talk to him."
Capitano finally felt relieved when he saw that Kong had agreed to his asylum request and acknowledged the attached conditions.
"No problem, Your Highness, I completely understand! After all, this matter does require respecting Mr. Shao Yun's wishes. Don't rush, just communicate slowly..."
"But please hurry as much as possible. I'm afraid we won't have enough time... Winter's army could arrive in Nata at any moment. I'm worried that the longer we delay, the greater the danger Nata will face."
Sora nodded slightly, indicating that he understood his concerns.
In the Kingdom of Night God, Capitano's plan to leave the Fatui and join the Abyss Cult was quietly launched on this night.
On the other hand, the Fatui's plan to send a large army to Nata to seize the Heart of God is also progressing rapidly.
