Chapter 966 898: The Eldest Prince and Lady of Tides
"They are all brave warriors, thank you, John."Lolita heartily patted John on the shoulder: "The lads are not afraid to die, they are afraid their deaths will be in vain."
"The young master told me." John nodded, then shook his head: "As a commander, it's permissible to sacrifice anyone if necessary, but you must remember the names of the sacrificed; each name represents a moment of your own incompetence."
Lolita wholeheartedly agreed with those words.
Then they both turned their gaze towards the teleportation formation outside.
Originally, this place was guarded by the Mountain Duke, who would only allow people in once safety was confirmed.
John and the others initially thought no one would be here anymore, but unexpectedly, there were still people present.
"Are you here to pick up Rica?"
A harpy floated in mid-air with a powerful aura.
Behind him were several other legendary figures and deities.
"Angry Wind Wing-Displaying Yadam!!"
John shouted out the profession of the harpy in front of him.
This was the Mountain Duke's assistant, a level twenty-four legendary powerhouse, the harpy Angry Wind Wing-Displaying!
"The other princes and princesses are guarding the Imperial Palace." The legendary powerhouse named Yadam said to John:
"We've already sent people to deal with the Elemental Duke's clan, and after finishing, we'll return to aid the Abyss."
Yadam knew that John was currently the backbone of Great Wilderness City, so he briefly explained the situation.
"Understood." John nodded and explained his purpose: "I'm here to take Princess Rica to Great Wilderness City."
"Back to Great Wilderness City?" Yadam frowned: "Pardon my bluntness, but Great Wilderness City may not be safer than the Abyss. The Eldest Prince and others are here."
"No, Great Wilderness City is safer." John shook his head: "Duke Lin Ke is about to return, and the whole city is united..."
At this point, Yadam understood John's meaning.
The Abyss was too chaotic!
The Abyss used to be safe because, although there were countless voices, there was only one voice that had authority.
Back then, there was the sun, and night turned into day.
But now, without that supreme voice of authority, all the darkness suppressed by the light will surface.
"Then I'll take you over." Yadam thought for a moment, then nodded and opened a rift in space.
John and Lolita stepped into it and then saw in the distance the Natural Tree Loli and the princes and princesses scattered around, either sitting or standing.
The Dark Maiden and the Mist Demoness were already considered part of Great Wilderness City, so they were not here.
But almost all the other princes and princesses were here.
As soon as John and Lolita arrived, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"John?"
Eldest Prince Telang was a bit surprised to see John and exchanged a glance with the Lady of Tides, then they both flew over together.
"Great Wilderness City is not in chaos? You coming here..." Telang quickly understood John's purpose: "My sister is safest here."
The Lady of Tides also frowned: "John, Great Wilderness has too few legendary figures, and our Royal Palace Hall has various secret rune magic arrays, and the Grand Duke's descendants and Dukes will also come to support us."
The tones of the Lady of Tides and Telang weren't particularly firm.
Anyone with sense would know that Great Wilderness City was one of the Gula Kingdom's strongest forces at this time.
In such a leaderless period, if Great Wilderness City were not handled well, it could well become the new leader.
"Are you sure the Grand Duke's descendants have no ulterior motives?" John was not afraid of facing legendary beings, as he had enough means to escape from them.
If any of these princes or princesses acted foolishly, when John returned, it would be with a Great Wilderness City aircraft carrier.
"It's not just the Grand Duke's descendants; how many of the Gula Kingdom's Dukes and Marquises genuinely have the heart to aid the Abyss?"
"And you, do any of you truly have no desire for the king's throne?"
John was blunt: "Great Wilderness is different. It's not Young Master Lin Ke's Great Wilderness; even if Lin Ke dies, people won't compete for Lin Ke's position because he was never in a position anyway."
Thanks to the inconsistency in the system, Lin Ke seems more like a spiritual leader rather than an active participant.
Even if Lin Ke passes away, the people will still cherish and support Great Wilderness City.
In Great Wilderness City, there is no king's position waiting for contention, as the true power belongs to the various professions and class representatives in the Wilderness, and these representatives are randomly generated.
Even if Lin Ke dies, no one will step up to declare themselves the second Lin Ke.
Furthermore, the people won't just overturn Lin Ke's name; they will also guard Lin Ke's descendants.
In contrast, the Abyss is different.
Hearing John's words, Telang subconsciously glanced back at his siblings.
The Second Prince and the Third Prince exchanged smiles; both were disciples of the Five-Colored Dragon Mother, although the Seventh Prince was as well, he was only level twenty-one and not worth considering.
The Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince, like him, were descendants of the Moon Goddess, perhaps even more scheming.
The Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince were descendants of the Lady Gardener, skilled in soul arts, but their power and influence were less than the other princes...
As for the princesses?
The Lady of Tides was the first offspring of the Five-Colored Dragon Mother and received the true legacy of the Moon Goddess, making her a possible empress.
Fortunately, the Dark Maiden and the Mist Princess are already considered part of Great Wilderness City and won't intervene,
And what about the Tree Shepherdess?
The Tree Shepherdess is pregnant and has no ambitions in these matters, and she is the most cherished sister by every prince and princess...
At this point, Telang suddenly awakened.
These siblings each had their own agendas!
In contrast, the neighbors and compatriots of Great Wilderness City felt more like brothers and sisters!
They couldn't let the Mu Tree remain here!
"We'll escort you back to Great Wilderness City." The Lady of Tides evidently made the same decision.
An elder brother, an elder sister.
Though they had their own thoughts after losing their parents, their ideas for the youngest were surprisingly unified.
And that was to let their sister go to the safest place first!
"Mm, alright."
John didn't say much, only feeling a faint sense of sorrow.
Lin Ke once said that when a nation and people face peril, some will become flies on the carrion, vying for the last scraps of fat.
Yet some will shore up a crumbling edifice.
Can they not see the external enemies? Can they not see the internal strife?
They only see the bright red, stark naked interests.
"I think you don't need to go anymore."
At this moment, space rifts from the Star Realm were opened, and one figure after another stepped through.
These figures were strong yet extremely elusive, making it impossible to perceive their true aura or identify who they were.
But without exception, they were all legendary beings!
