Who taught him to restore the country like this?

Keltia pursed her lips.

I realized that I was being selfish again.

In the peripheral vision, not far away, Emmett and the dark wizard had already climbed onto the city wall.

"I just don't want you to die because of someone else's mistake." Her voice became urgent.

Hearing this, Ron couldn't help but smile: "Lady Keltia is much cuter today."

Celia frowned. Now was not the time to joke.

If Ron doesn't regret it now, he won't have the chance to regret it later.

"We'll see."

Ron uttered something meaningless, then looked away and said no more.

Keltija wanted to say something else, but Emmett had already walked closer.

He stopped in front of Ron, looked him up and down in his adventurer outfit, then glanced at the knife at his waist, and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty Ron, you are dressed so formally, would you like to make the announcement yourself?"

Ron smiled slightly and didn't answer.

"Let's begin." said Azriel.

"Ok."

Emmett put away his smile, gave Ron a cold look, and walked up to the platform.

"Greetings, people of Orrantia."

"My name is Emmett Iverson, the prince of the Kingdom of Diam. I have summoned you here today to announce a heavy matter to you."

Thanks to my book friends... 5349 for the 1700 reward, awesome!

Thanks to Andanshin and Yunfan for the 500 reward.

Thank you so much. I am so touched to see so many people care about the author’s lack of food.

Chapter 73 Son of Truth, Say Something

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Emmett spoke slowly in a heavy tone.

Under the city wall, the people of the three fortresses looked up at the platform. When they saw that the figure was not Ron, dissatisfied whispers spread like a tide.

"Where's His Majesty Ron?"

"Why didn't His Majesty give the speech himself?"

"Why should we let the people of Diam Kingdom stand there? They are the ones who are making it difficult for us to move forward!"

Facing the nagging doubts and accusations, Emmet remained calm and continued, "Due to unknown factors, both the Rah and Diam Kingdoms are now unable to enter the Eternal Illusion. Unfortunately, we're afraid we can no longer save the troubled Orrantia Kingdom through this method."

When the people under the city wall heard this, there was silence at first, and then helpless sighs came one after another.

In fact, the abnormal behavior of the armies of the three major fortresses in the past few days had already made them suspect something.

But Ron hadn't given a clear conclusion, so they clung to that glimmer of hope like a drowning man grasping at the last straw.

And at this moment, this last glimmer of hope was completely shattered by Emmett's words.

Is Orrantia really beyond saving?

Where should they go from now on?

"You don't have to despair. There is still a way to save the Kingdom of Orrantia."

I have to say that Emmett has some talent for public speaking and knows how to mobilize public sentiment.

Hearing that Orrantia could still be saved, hope rekindled in the people's eyes.

Their eyes converged on Emmett.

Emmett really enjoyed this look. He paused for a moment before continuing, "The fundamental reason why Orrantia fell into the eternal illusion is the Divine Purification Formation. We've received information that as long as we destroy the Source Stone, we can destroy all the Divine Purification Formations in Orrantia!"

After raising the public's curiosity about how the Origin Stone was destroyed, he continued, "The Origin Stone was obtained by Princess Kalina from the Bruweiman Empire. Because it requires the constant nourishment of the Saint's bloodline, Princess Kalina integrated it into her body."

Hearing this, the people were stunned for a moment, and then guessed what Emmett was going to say about how to save the Kingdom of Orrantia.

"Now if we want to destroy the Source Stone, we have no choice but to kill Princess Kaileena!"

Emmett said in a resounding voice, "As an outsider, I have no right to decide Princess Kaileena's life or death. She is your princess and the hero who protects Orrantia. Only you, the people of Orrantia, are qualified to make the decision!"

The heavy declaration was like a huge rock thrown into a deep pool, and the tragic atmosphere instantly froze the air.

Everyone lowered their heads and tried to escape.

But they can't escape.

After a brief silence, someone covered his face and cried.

"Now, tell me your answer."

Emmett asked after waiting for a moment.

As the people under the city wall struggled to make a decision, Ron moved.

Azriel and Celtia were the first to catch Ron's movements.

I saw him take a step and walk towards the platform.

A layer of silver frost quietly covered Athiril's pupils, and he stared at Ron intently.

Only he knew that Ron had no intention of becoming a sacrifice. Now that Ron had walked onto the platform, he had to be wary of what he would do.

Celia felt a little uneasy - could this guy be going up to help with the lecture?

Emmett heard footsteps beside him and turned to look, frowning when he saw it was Ron.

Just as he was about to ask Ron what he was doing up here, he saw Ron put his right hand on the hilt of the knife.

Emmett's eyelids twitched, and he stepped back feeling uneasy.

Bang!

The next second, the knife light shattered the stone table on the high platform, and stone chips splashed all around.

Emmett was furious when he saw this: "Ron, you are..."

"What nonsense!"

Ron's angry voice rang out from the podium.

Hearing the sound, the people below raised their heads and looked at the figure on the platform that brought them peace of mind.

"It's not enough that the Kingdom of Diam destroyed my plan to save Orrantia, but now they want to kill Princess Kaileena?"

Ron raised his long knife, pointed it at Emmett, and asked angrily.

Emmett: "Huh?"

"You said you were going to make a public announcement today. I thought you were truly repentant and wanted to make amends, so I gave you this opportunity."

Ron scolded with a deceived look on his face.

"???"

Didn't you ask me to make the announcement?

It's only been one night and you've forgotten?

Emmett was a little confused.

Could this guy have been mentally stimulated and turned into a fool?

"...I never thought a dog would change its bad habits! The Kingdom of Diam holds a grudge against me and wants to kill me. They could have just come after me alone, but why are they targeting Orrantia?"

The black blade shone coldly in the sunlight, and as Ron's arms trembled violently, it drew messy arcs in the air.

Emmett suddenly had trouble understanding what Ron was saying.

Wasn’t what we announced today what we discussed yesterday?

"Saying that killing Princess Kaileena is the only way to save the Kingdom of Orrantia is nonsense!"

Ron suddenly took a half step forward, the blade pointed directly at Emmett's throat: "You are just afraid that Orrantia has the blood of the Holy Clan, and you want to use this to eliminate Princess Kaileena. You must be killed!"

Under the city wall, the people heard Ron's accusations against the Kingdom of Diam, and the stagnant air exploded instantly.

"How dare the Kingdom of Diam deceive us!"

"Forcing us to kill Princess Kaileena, what a vicious heart!"

"How abominable! Your Majesty, please execute these people from the Diam Kingdom!"

Angry roars came from all directions.

At this moment, Emmett finally realized Ron's purpose - this beast wanted to stir up hatred between the Kingdom of Orrantia and the Kingdom of Diam!

"Don't spit on anyone!"

Emmett defended himself loudly, "I have no intention of harming Princess Kaileena, Ron. I warn you not to act recklessly. Killing Princess Kaileena is the only way to save Orrantia. You..."

"Shut up!"

Ron rebuked Emmett's sophistry, turned to face the people below the city wall, and loudly declared: "I can still save the Kingdom of Orrantia without killing Princess Kaileena!"

The people under the city wall were excited when they heard Ron's promise-like speech!

"Long live His Majesty Ron!"

"Long live His Majesty Ron!"

"Execute the people of Diam Kingdom!"

"Execute the people of Diam Kingdom!"

Emmett's face turned pale with shock from the waves of shouting. Seeing that the situation was out of control, he quickly looked at Athiril.

Son of Truth, say something!

Just say that this is a proposal from the Church of Truth, and see who dares to question it?

however……

Aesirel stood there indifferently, with no intention of going on stage to explain.
