Mystery: A Spark

"Is that the point I made? And don't you dare slander me. Everything I did was for the good of the Kingdom of Rune."

"Yes, yes, yes, our Mr. Heller is a loyal subject of the Kingdom of Rune. He has never thought of regicide or usurpation. Everything he has done is for the Kingdom of Rune. It's so touching, waaaaah~" Arthas put his paw to his eyes as if wiping away tears.

"I think you're asking for a beating today, daring to make sarcastic remarks about me," Arthur said with a forced smile.

Arthas was completely unafraid; it was recklessly teetering on the edge of certain death.

"Where is the concept of Yin and Yang? I'm clearly praising your loyalty to the country."

"Heh." Arthur pounced on the puppy like a hungry tiger, grabbing it. "Kid, do you know the Ten Great Tortures?"

"I don't know~" Arthas shook his little head, "But even if you torture me and bury me in a coffin, I will still shout with my decaying voice."

"What are you shouting for?"

"Traitor!" Arthas shouted righteously.

"Hmph! You little brat, looks like I'll have to make you a stir-fried dog tongue today," Arthur said viciously.

"It is my destiny that I cannot rid the country of traitors, ah..." Arthas exclaimed dramatically.

The man and the dog acted out a scene of loyalty and treachery, and then played around with each other for a while before finally getting the conversation back on track.

“Once the people from the Church of Storms arrive and the navy is rebuilt, we’ll have the strength to counterattack Fursac, right? Then we can head north to Wintershire,” Arthas said.

“Yes, then we won’t be so passive. I just don’t know what choice Fursak will make.” Arthur nodded.

"choose?"

"Well, it's either expanding the scale of the war or even launching a divine war, or taking what we can and running away. I tend to prefer the latter option, because at this stage, Fussac probably isn't fully prepared."

Of course, despite the lack of preparation, if the uniqueness of death were to truly manifest at this moment, Fussac would still grit his teeth and fight Rune.

However, since Death's uniqueness is still just a shadow, Fussack might not do that.

They have already made a lot of money in this sudden war. From a profit perspective, the best course of action now that they have found that Rune has recovered is to take what they have.

"But that's not necessarily the case. It's quite obvious that the war bishop commander in Wintershire wants to take the opportunity to digest the potion, so in this situation, the other side might also stubbornly refuse to retreat," Arthur pondered.

"Then hopefully that guy won't be so greedy. By the way, Leonard just sent word that Amon's clone was attracted here earlier, but luckily the old man was prepared, so nothing bad happened." Arthas said, as if remembering something.

"Ah, not surprising at all." Arthur had anticipated this situation.

“Aren’t you going to do anything? I remember you once said that you can’t guard against thieves forever,” Arthas asked.

"Actually, if His true form doesn't come out, then the problem isn't that big. The old man can easily deal with His clone."

“However… I do have an idea, but I’m not sure if it’s feasible or what the consequences might be. Hmm… Arthas, could you call Klein over? I need to discuss something with him,” Arthur said after a moment’s thought.

He is now a war bishop, and if Fursak continues to fight, the potion in his body will definitely be digested to a considerable extent.

It's even possible that, as the war drags on, they could be completely assimilated.

In this situation, Arthur can try to get involved in things he wouldn't have dared to get involved in before.

"Looks like you have another plan. Alright, I'll go get some people." Arthas left.

Klein arrived shortly afterward.

"Arthur, you wanted to see me?" He found a chair and sat down.

"Yes, I have something I'd like to discuss with you." Arthur activated the Shadow Curtain.

"What is it?" Klein asked curiously, glancing around at the veil-like surroundings.

"About Amon."

“Amon?” Klein’s expression turned serious. “Could it be that during our previous battles…”

“Yes, He is looking for you, but you were lucky to have missed him,” Arthur nodded.

"Us? Me and Mobert?"

"obviously."

"Do you have any idea?"

“I have a plan that will require you to make some sacrifices, and the consequences are uncertain.”

What kind of sacrifice?

"He will be seriously injured."

“Seriously injured... but that’s still better than being watched by the King of Angels. Tell me, what should I do?” Klein made his decision without much hesitation.

"We'll do it like this..."

……

The twin skyscrapers in the eastern part of Backlund.

The two buildings belong to the Umbrella Corporation and the Workers' Assistance Association, respectively, and are connected by a sky bridge.

Meanwhile, in her office on the top floor of the building where the Umbrella Corporation was located, Audrey was handling her official business.

After the death of George III, the power of the Loon was generally divided into three parts.

The military holds military power, the parliament holds executive power, and the workers' association holds supervisory and adjudicative power.

The Workers' Mutual Aid Association was then under the leadership of Hugh, and its main supporters were the broad working class and small business owners, following a mass line approach.

Although the military originally had many factions, such as the naval faction, the army faction, and the royalists, with the death of George III and the invasion of Fussac, they temporarily put aside their past conflicts and united under Admiral Emilius.

After all, we're all living in the same boat, and the disputes are about who gets more and who gets less. Even if there are conflicts, there's room for negotiation.

But if this ship sinks, then everyone will have to go into the sea to feed the sharks.

As for parliament, it is naturally maintained by Prime Minister Agushid.

However, unlike before, shortly after the war broke out between Rune and Fussac, a new member joined the Upper House.

Audrey Hall.

As one of the core members of the Heller Group, Audrey Hall's identity is extremely special.

First and foremost, she was the beloved daughter of the noble Earl Hall.

Of course, after Audrey confronted Earl Hall, this precious jewel tended to transform into a black pearl.

However, this matter was unknown to outsiders, because the four people present at the time, including Earl Hall himself, remained silent about it afterward, and even Lady Catherine was unaware of it.

Therefore, to outsiders, Audrey was still Earl Hall's beloved daughter.

In addition, Audrey is also the president of the Umbrella Corporation and has recruited a group of second-generation rich kids who are not valued in the family because they are not the eldest son.

When Umbrella Corporation was just starting out, these privileged second-generation rich kids were undoubtedly not valued by their families.

However, as Umbrella Corporation grew into a behemoth within the country of Rune, their status within the family naturally rose accordingly.

As a prominent businesswoman with a noble background and a group of nobles supporting her, it was only natural for Audrey to enter the House of Lords, and she wielded considerable influence.

In the office, Audrey looked at the documents in her hand and sighed softly:

“I warned them beforehand to keep their claws out for a while, but it seems they haven’t taken my words to heart at all. Am I not a force to be reckoned with?”

"It's just because he was blinded by greed. Do you need my help to deal with it?" Hugh asked, sipping an iced cola through a straw on the sofa.

“No need. I want to handle this personally, otherwise they won’t be afraid of me.” Audrey calmly shook her head.

Xiu put down his Coke and advised:

“Audrey, you really didn’t have to go this far. Many of these people are on good terms with the Hall family. If you were to do this…”

“That’s precisely why I’m needed to do this; it would be troublesome if anyone else did it.” Audrey shook her head, declining Hugh’s offer.

“But this will further strain your relationship with your father,” Hugh said with some concern.

She was one of the very few people who knew about the conflict between Audrey and her father, so she didn't want the conflict between Audrey and her father to escalate because of this.

“Father…he loves me.” Audrey lowered her eyes, her voice soft. “But he has his beliefs, and I have mine. We have different views and approaches to some things, and neither of us can convince the other for the time being, unless…”

"Unless what?"

"Unless we achieve an indisputable victory."

Audrey gave a helpless smile. "Only then might my father change his mind, and only then could we reach a reconciliation."

“Then we can only wait patiently. Good news has already spread throughout the Sea County. I believe Arthur can lead us to victory after victory,” Hugh said earnestly.

“I believe it too, so I asked Miss Sharon to help me investigate the list of those people. When Arthur returns, I will hand him a clean Backlund.” Audrey stood up and looked out the window, speaking with confidence.

But Audrey didn't have to wait long for this day.

Following the great victory in the Intersea County, the military selected some officers and generals from the Sunia Fleet as the backbone, and with the assistance of the Storm Church, quickly formed a new navy based on the dozens of captured sailing warships.

Then, in early August, Arthur's army and another general's navy marched side by side from Intersea County northward into the battlefield of Wintershire.

Although this newly formed navy was still immature in many aspects, under the leadership of the extraordinary individuals sent by the Church of Storms, they still put considerable pressure on the Fusak navy, making it impossible for the Fusaks to maintain their combined land and sea defense tactics.

Therefore, the situation on the battlefield of Wintershire gradually began to reverse.

In September, with no further support offered from within the country, and facing this predicament, Fussack's commander, though extremely unwilling, ultimately had no choice but to withdraw his troops.

Shortly thereafter, after a series of negotiations, Fussac and Rune signed the Russac-Fussac Non-Aggression Pact on the Inter-Sea.

The representative of the Rune faction was Arthur, while the representative of the Fursac faction was the war bishop who participated in the attack on Wintershire.

The treaty includes:

"The contracting parties guarantee that they will not use force, aggression or attack against each other, either alone or in conjunction with other countries."

"If one Contracting Party is at war with a third country, the other Contracting Party shall not provide any support to the third country."

"Neither party shall participate in any group of countries that directly or indirectly opposes the other contracting party."

"Both parties shall settle all disputes between the contracting parties in a peaceful manner." etc.

Regarding the contents of the treaty, most people had no other thoughts besides feeling relieved that peace had finally arrived.

Only a few people knew that this was only a temporary truce.

For example, five-star critic Palez Zoroaster lamented:

"Tsk tsk, these two countries really let out a loud fart."
