Subaru Natsuki, who returned from the new Three Kingdoms

Aries hesitated upon hearing this, as she remembered another question.

"But what if Mom comes back?"

The black dog's answer remained stuck in its throat.

Capela's terror was ingrained in their instincts.

Even though they have left the organization, they can still recall the feeling of their bodies shattering into countless parts when that morbid voice fell.

The door opened at that moment.

The black dog immediately turned around and bowed to the merchant who walked in.

"Lord Russell."

“Don’t worry,” Russell Ferro said, looking at them. “I will get you out of here safely.”

"As long as this organization is completely eliminated, I can guarantee that no one will be able to harm you again."

He paused, his gaze falling on the two faces.

"However, the prerequisite is that you must tell me the location of your organization in the capital!"

The black dog and the white sheep exchanged a glance.

If they actually did something this big, they would definitely be considered Capela's number one traitor and hunted down in the future.

The two hesitated.

Russell Ferro didn't urge him, but simply placed a cup full of hot water in front of Aries.

The slight warmth helped Aries steady his grip on the cup.

"We'll take you there," the black dog finally said in a deep voice.

He knew very well that the man in front of him was his and his sister's last hope.

Russell Ferro nodded.

Crusch was unaware that the merchant had already made up his mind.

He wanted to take this opportunity to completely destroy the Aiko Organization's foundation in the capital.

Kill them all, leave no one alive!

Then this message will be passed on to members of the Aiko organization in other places.

This forced the organization's members to choose to resist.

This also forced Crusch to choose to ascend the throne and fulfill her contract with the dragon.

These members of the Aiko organization, who could potentially wreak havoc on the country at any moment, should be severely punished.

As for Subaru Natsuki, if Russell Ferro were to find him, he would also take care of him as well.

In his judgment, Subaru Natsuki was likely a member of the Aiko Organization, or at least had an extremely close relationship with it.

Of course, it doesn't matter if Natsuki Subaru is really innocent, since only by killing him can Crusch-sama gain more merit.

Soon, the six tongue fighters hidden throughout the capital gathered at his residence.

The group entered the sewers and, led by the black dog and the white sheep, continued to venture deeper.

Winding stone walls, blocked side paths, and secret doors that could only be passed by one person at a time appeared alternately. They moved along these secret paths, twisting and turning, until they finally arrived at the core room of the Aiko organization.

Six Tongues made extensive preparations outside the door, almost fully preparing for battle, before finally kicking the door open.

Russell Ferro originally intended to unleash a powerful magical energy wave to blast everyone inside and annihilate them.

To their surprise, the room was completely empty.

Judging from the marks, it seems they just left?

Russell Filo, who had just been so confident of victory, frowned.

He had a bad feeling and questioned his siblings sharply:

"How is this going?"

The black dog and the white sheep were also stunned in place.

"That's impossible! Ever since the capital was locked down, everyone has been staying here all the time..."

The black dog was stunned, while the white sheep hid behind the black dog in fear.

Just as the group was wondering what to do, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside.

"Lord Russell, something terrible has happened!"

"The royal palace is under attack!"

“What did you say!” Russell Ferro turned around abruptly.

"The royal palace has been attacked?"

"That's right, a group of people suddenly emerged from the underground passage beneath the palace. They are very likely members of this organization!"

"Lord Crusch and the others were caught off guard and are now being forced into a retreat!"

"This organization has such audacity!"

Russell Ferro's mind raced with desperation, and the way he looked at the two siblings beside him changed.

The empty room, the sudden attack, and the premature disappearance of the organization's members quickly connected in his mind.

Russell Ferro glared at the black dog and the white sheep.

"You two actually used a diversionary tactic?"

The black dog and the white sheep quickly shook their heads.

"no!"

"Sir, we didn't!"

The heat on Russell Ferro's face had completely vanished.

"Arrest these two guys."

The six tongue members immediately surrounded them.

The black dog shielded the white sheep, then turned and rammed into the nearest wall. At the same time, the white sheep activated its ability, and a piercing thud echoed through the narrow passage.

The two fought a bloody battle, with the black dog severely wounded and bleeding profusely, before finally tearing a gap in the encirclement and disappearing into the depths of the complex secret passage.

The black dog protected the white sheep as they fled into the distance, the footsteps and angry shouts behind them gradually swallowed up by the dark passage.

Russell Ferro stood still, without even turning his head.

Those two guys, let them go.

Anyway, they can't escape the capital, and he'll catch them again sooner or later.

For Russell right now, the news of the attack on the royal palace has overshadowed everything else.

These people dared to launch a surprise attack on the palace; they must have something to rely on. We must hurry back to provide support!

Russell Ferro immediately turned and left with the remaining six members of the Tongue.

But to his surprise, he had barely stepped outside when he saw another group of people...

Wilhelm, Reinhard, Julius, Ricardo, Anastasia, and Emilia also found their way here in the sewers.

Emilia arrived at the Chamber of Commerce not long ago.

They learned from her that Flügel had not gone to her to surrender.

Thus, everyone lost track of Flügel once again.

At this point, Anna pointed out that she remembered being kidnapped deep in the sewers.

Perhaps Friguel is still there.

The group then began their search based on this clue.

Little did they expect that just as they rounded a corner with a puddle, they would bump into Russell Ferro, who was leading a group of men to the palace.

Upon seeing the Sword Demon Wilhelm and the Sword Saint Reinhardt, Russell's eyes immediately lit up.

These two are top-tier fighters; with them around, resolving this riot will be a piece of cake!

Without wasting any time, he immediately went up to Wilhelm and told him about the attack on the palace by the Aiko organization.

Wilhelm immediately frowned.

What's the situation at the royal palace now?

“The attack has just begun,” Russell Ferro replied. “If we can catch up, we can still take back the palace.”

"Please, Lord Sword Demon and Lord Sword Saint, set off immediately!"

Reinhard's mind was still focused on finding Subaru as soon as possible.

But with the palace under attack, he, as a knight, could not stand idly by.

Julius, Anastasia, and Emilia, upon hearing of the attack on the palace, also expressed their desire to join in.

Russell frowned slightly at this, but he couldn't very well refuse.

In his view, having two powerful fighters, Reinhard and Wilhelm, was enough.

Even if the palace has been captured, as long as these two people are still alive, there is still a chance to take it back.

If other candidates want to get involved, it's tantamount to stealing credit.

But since the other party was a chosen one, he couldn't very well refuse them outright.

He had no choice but to lead everyone back to the palace.

----------------

Not long ago.

The capital city lies underground.

Inside the secret passages of the royal capital, a remnant of the old era.

(Lord Rom once used this secret passage to infiltrate the palace)

Natsuki Subaru followed the children who were leading the way through the secret passage, marveling at the sights along the way.

I never imagined that there was such a complex network of tunnels beneath the palace.

All the children tensed up.

We're about to attack the capital, so why doesn't Dad seem nervous at all?

Is he really determined to win?

No one understood, nor dared to ask.

Soon, the group arrived directly beneath the palace. From there, they could enter the palace.

Deep footsteps echoed from above, each one landing in the secret passage through the thick stone slabs. Occasionally, the clanging of metal could be heard, indicating that knights were still patrolling the palace.

The children's breathing became even more rapid. At Subaru's command, they would have no choice but to rush into the palace from underground and face the most elite force in the entire kingdom.

Clarissa bit her nails, her eyes darting back and forth between the secret passage exit and Subaru Natsuki. She wanted to ask her father if he had any other plans, but after a few moments of movement, she swallowed her words.

At this moment, Natsuki Subaru waved his hand, signaling everyone to stop.

The members of the Aiko organization were already breathing heavily with fear as they anticipated the battle that was about to take place.

Seeing Natsuki Subaru's actions, I couldn't help but wonder, did Dad change his mind?

It would be best if you changed your mind; let's go back.

But then, they heard Subaru Natsuki say with a serious expression:

"Issue my order: from this moment forward, any soldier who deserts shall be executed by the squad leader; any squad leader who deserts shall be executed by the platoon leader; any platoon leader who deserts shall be executed by the captain; and any captain who deserts shall be executed by the general!"

The members of the Aiko group immediately turned ashen-faced.

Although I don't know what a sergeant or squad leader is.

But they could still tell that the principle of collective punishment applied to everyone was applied.

Sure enough, the person in front of me was even more insane than that mother.
