I must draw my sword immediately!

Chapter 142 An unexpected gain
"Disrupt the ritual?"

At this moment, in the conference room on the second floor of the Royal Opera House,

Sua, standing in the corner, heard Edwin's suggestion and her eyes flickered slightly.
Given the current situation,

For the princes, the best solution would undoubtedly be to directly attack the Silver Crown Court and defeat King Perinoa within the limited time available.

however,
Even the seemingly most incompetent Chelos dared to suggest a direct invasion and the killing of King Perinoa.

Edwin, the prince who commanded the most knights and soldiers among all the princes, had some knowledge of military strategy, and was assisted by the seasoned knight Leopold, dared not confront King Perinoa directly.

This can only mean that he was quite aware of the irreconcilable gap in strength between the two sides.

And then,
Edwin began to explain:

"Everyone,"

"We have formed a temporary alliance. Although we are united in spirit, we must admit that it will be difficult for our individual knights to unite and form a complete military force in a short period of time."

"It would be unwise to confront King Perinoa head-on at this time."

"Therefore, the focus of our operation is not to defeat King Perinoa, but to prevent him from achieving the desired result. Once the ritual is disrupted and the capital is unsealed, we can then mobilize the armies of various countries to enter the city, and this will not take much effort."

"After all, the London defenses formed by the Alliance of Kings are right behind us!"

"At that time, it is something to look forward to, whether it is to restart the Holy Grail or to elect a King of Britain."

Upon hearing this, the princes exchanged glances, finally looking at Cherlos, who stood side by side with Edwin in front of the sand table, looking down at it as if everything was under his control.

Cerros frowned at first, but his expression softened slightly after hearing the second half of Edwin's sentence, and he nodded.

"so be it."

After reaching a consensus, Edwin pointed to the sand table and said:

"Next, we will assign you the areas you are responsible for."

"Gentlemen, prepare your knights and tools by tonight. We will begin our operation no later than 10 a.m. tomorrow."

"Cyril, you are in charge of the Holy Cross Church on the east side of the Fourth Ring Road."

"Karen, you're in charge of the Langsha Church on the south side of the Fourth Ring Road, near the Fifth Ring Road."

"Michael, you're in charge."

Hearing this, Su Yawei shook her head almost imperceptibly, knowing that this knightly alliance formed by a prince was nothing more than that.

A rebellion that is not thorough is no rebellion at all.

These princes have no intention of fighting King Perinoa to the end, and the timing of their formation is quite suspicious. In addition, I just heard the name 'Gerry Freyt' from Knight Leopold. There must be someone using them behind the scenes.

With this thought in mind, Suya shifted her gaze to the sand table in front of everyone and, taking advantage of the gap in Edwin's task assignment, secretly memorized the locations of the various knightly orders and military camps in the capital marked on the sand table.

quickly,

Edwin finished assigning tasks to the princes and their knights, and was about to say a few more words to encourage them.

And at this moment,
Chelos, who had been silent until now, suddenly frowned slightly and looked at his assigned spot on the sand table.

That was a dangerous position near the Iron Curtain Square of the Third Ring Road, responsible for guarding the back of the entire Knights Alliance. Once the arrangements for King Perinoa's ceremony were disrupted, it would inevitably provoke the intervention of the Royal Guard Knights. Those assigned to this position had to be among the strongest of the princes.

Chelos immediately spoke with slight dissatisfaction:

"Edwin, did you forget someone?"

Upon hearing this, Edwin frowned slightly and asked, puzzled:
"Who's missing?" Chelos turned his head, coldly looking in one direction. Along the path, the princes he was watching immediately parted to the sides.

Suya, who was standing at the very back, was revealed.

Then, he stared at Suya and asked calmly:
"Arthur, are you just going to do nothing like this?"

Suya slowly raised his head. By this time, he had already memorized the important points marked on the sand table. Hearing Chelos point to him, he was slightly surprised.

I?
I'm just here to make a cameo appearance. I have no money and no troops. What do you want me to do?
Edwin frowned and retorted:
"Arthur? He doesn't have a knightly order, so what can he do?"

Chelos immediately revealed in a cold voice, "Have you forgotten that Arthur went in and out of the Winchester Casino with Gawain yesterday? Now that Gawain is not here as a prince, shouldn't she be your knight?"

Suya shook her head. "That's not true."

Gawain and he only had an employer-employee relationship. It was already good enough that she could temporarily protect his personal safety. It would be too much of a waste to ask her to protect these princes.

"Hmph, you talked a good game before, but now you're backing down at the last minute?"

Chelos frowned, stared at Suya, and said coldly:

"In any case, go and invite Knight Gawain here and ask her to guard this position. If you're not going to do anything, then why are you standing here?"

Edwin immediately retorted, "Chelos, you're making things difficult for me."

"That's right!"

However, at this moment, Chelos turned to Edwin and revealed his true purpose:
"Or you can switch places with me!"

"You, who command the most knights, are doing the simplest thing. How can such an arrangement convince the people?"

"you!"

This scene of infighting before cooperation even began surprised Suya, but soon he turned to look at the position of Chelos guarding the sand table, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Chelos's position was brilliant, perfectly situated in the center of the Clock Tower, Iron Curtain Square, the encampments of several Royal Guard knights, and the ceremony site the princes intended to disrupt.
Suya, recalling the several directions she had previously planned to take to replenish the Knights of the Round Table, felt a slight stirring in her heart and immediately interrupted the two princes' argument, saying:

“I can ask Knight Gawain for help, or I can bring men to garrison this place.”

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Edwin and Chelos immediately turned to look at him in surprise.

"you sure?"

Suya smiled slightly and immediately said, "However, as you know, I have no soldiers under my command. If I am attacked by the Knights, it will be difficult for Knight Gawain alone to stop all the enemies. Therefore, you must at least send me some additional troops."

Upon hearing this, Edwin pondered for a moment, then a glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes.
Then, he made the decision:
"Sure, I can lend you 200 riders, and also—"

Edwin turned to the knight Leopold who was serving beside him and gave the order:

"Leopold, after the war meeting, come with me first, and then follow Arthur."

Knight Leopold paused for a moment, not understanding why Edwin wanted him to follow Sua, but he nodded nonetheless.

"Yes!"

Seeing this, Suya couldn't help but smile.

He originally only intended to gather intelligence, but he didn't expect to have an unexpected gain. Now he can complete the first set of rules at the round table and try out the effects of the unlocking method.
