Chapter 1955: Chapter 1948: Trapped in Prison
It seed that Lipei was overawed by Yalunte’s aura, as Gudelv opened his mouth but couldn’t speak, rely staring blankly at him.
The thick steel doors blocked out most of the noise, but even so, the keen senses of Yalunte could still hear the chaotic clamor of the guards outside the door and the explosions occasionally coming from overhead.
The advance team’s operation was swift. After completing the targeted bombings and securing complete air superiority, transport planes began landing, deploying teams according to the predetermined targets.
Although the main military unit of Holy Heart City was caught off guard, being an elite troop defending the capital, the Aud Army quickly reacted, regrouping to launch an attack on the palace in an attempt to regain control.
The battle within the palace was also unusually tough. The elite Aud Army guarding the palace did not lose morale due to the bombings and continued to resist stubbornly.
The assaulting advance team could only keep calling for airstrikes to make difficult progress. Seeing the Aud Army outside the palace about to break through, Luo’er made a decisive call, ordering the Xuanwu Ship to descend quickly, providing ground combat support with its cannons, which finally managed to suppress the Aud Army’s offensive in the city.
The fighting went on from early morning until the afternoon of the next day. The once busy and thriving Holy Heart City had turned into a battlefield ruin.
Luo’er’s decision was correct, bringing only three thousand people and using the remaining capacity for weapon and ammunition storage. This approach allowed the Xuanwu Ship to maintain high-intensity fire support continuously, repelling the ferocious Aud Army’s attacks several tis and making significant contributions to covering the ground forces.
As the palace guards were gradually cleared, the advance team eventually took control of the entire palace and, guided by Liseya, found the safe house located underground.
The steel doors slowly opened. Yalunte erged from the safe house, holding a sword in one hand and dragging the tightly bound Gudelv with the other.
Upon leaving the safe house and seeing the watching advance team mbers, Gudelv’s face turned ashen, knowing that everything was over.
“Your Excellency has worked hard,” the leading mber of the advance team saluted excitedly.
“Take him away, don’t dawdle,” Yalunte said, pushing Gudelv with a bland expression.
“Let go of , you disgusting mongrels!” Gudelv cursed defiantly.
The advance team mbers were mostly hybrids, with two being elf-blooded, whom Gudelv particularly despised.
However, his arrogance did not last long. The advance team mber in charge of the escort stepped forward and slapped him hard, leaving a burning red imprint on Gudelv’s face.
“How dare you hit …”
Before Gudelv could finish his words, the other side of his face received another heavy slap.
“Your Majesty, you’d better keep quiet, or they might beat you until you can’t speak,” Yalunte put away his sword and suggested blandly, “Save your strength and lodge a complaint later.”
Gudelv looked at him, then at the fierce advance team mbers, and eventually wisely kept silent.
A group of people dragged him quickly to the boarding point on the palace grounds, tossing him onto a transport plane like a piece of cargo, then started calling everyone to prepare to evacuate.
Gudelv’s capture marked the successful completion of the operation. The advance team mbers, with the airship and airship support, began to withdraw from contact with the Aud Army, boarding the transport plane back to the warship.
The evacuation took over an hour. When the last batch of advance team mbers boarded the transport plane, the Xuanwu Ship ascended imdiately, breaking contact with the ground.
Gudelv was taken to a specially designated detention room. Although the conditions of the detention room were ordinary, with a bed and a table, it sowhat befitted the identity of this king.
After returning to the warship, Yalunte was imdiately received by Luo’er, who shook Yalunte’s hand firmly and gratefully said, “Your Excellency has worked hard.”
“It’s I who should thank you for giving such an opportunity.”
Yalunte lightly shook his head, showing a genuine smile.
Soon, Luo’er led so people into the detention room to see this once overbearing king.
“I am Luo’er, the highest commander of Lipei Defense Zone, seeing Your Majesty.”
Facing Gudelv, Luo’er still maintained the basic etiquette.
“Another elf mutt. Is the standard for humans among you Shani people so low?”
Gudelv sneered, maintaining his arrogant nature even when trapped, contemptuously looking down on Luo’er, a half-elf, with the inherent arrogance of nobility.
Upon hearing his words, Luo’er rely smiled faintly, not losing his temper:
“Your Majesty, it seems inappropriate for a king to speak so carelessly. Being in such a high position, you should be prudent in your words and actions.”
“Stop with those platitudes. I admit defeat since I fell into your hands this ti. The victor is king, and the loser outlaws; handle as you wish.”
“I need to correct one point, Your Majesty…”
As Luo’er spoke, he lightly snapped his fingers, had a chair brought over, and sat down gracefully, facing Gudelv directly.
“It has never been ‘the victor is king; the loser outlawed,’ but rather ‘the king succeeds; outlaws fail.’ Your Majesty’s understanding of the old saying needs so work.”
“Stop playing word gas with ! Now that I’m in your hands, I admit I lost and will accept however you handle it!” Gudelv shouted angrily.
“I won because I follow the Royal Dao,” Luo’er continued on his own, “But Your Majesty lost because you went down the path of outlawry. Or rather, Your Majesty has always been an outlaw.”
“You don’t need to scold in a roundabout way!”
“Oh no, I have no intention to insult Your Majesty. I’d even continue to address you as ‘Your Majesty,’ clearly showing my sincerity,” Luo’er said, waving his hand.
“If that’s the case, then set free!”
“After going through so much trouble to capture Your Majesty, releasing you on a whim is not sothing I can explain to my subordinates,” Luo’er replied, shaking his head.
“You won’t fight nor release . What is it exactly that you want? Is it just to humiliate ?” Gudelv seed even angrier.
“I just want to reason with Your Majesty about the reasons for your failure. Imagine, if Your Majesty were loved by all, not even if I were braver by a hundredfold, I would dare to rashly raid Holy Heart City and capture Your Majesty,” Luo’er said unhurriedly.
“I don’t need you to teach how to live. Yalunte droning on and on, you too, with your endless clichés, sully my ears.”
“Well then, let’s talk about the relationship between us,” Luo’er said, tilting his head slightly.
“Relationship?”
“Yes, relationship. The relationship between us and Your Majesty should have been about ten years now, right? But Your Majesty, great people tend to forget; you’ve never noticed us small fry.”
Luo’er spoke, his face carrying a slight smile.
After hearing Luo’er, Gudelv gradually tad his anger, staring at Luo’er with suspicion, he asked, “Have we t before?”
“Of course, only I know Your Majesty, whereas Your Majesty probably does not know ,” Luo’er said, feigning a thoughtful look.
“Why should I know soone like you?” Gudelv replied stubbornly.
“Then, Your Majesty, do you recall the Sacred Heart Magic Academy incident?”
Luo’er suddenly asked, which left Gudelv dumbfounded.
“Sacred Heart Magic Academy?”
Unable to help himself, Gudelv exclaid.
“The Sacred Heart Magic Academy incident, Odelanqi’s official statent was that a group of ard Earth militants had taken students in the academy hostage, demanding the Church of Light to compromise and allow Earth troops to be stationed in Yazhi City…”
“This matter eventually resolved satisfactorily, but for Your Majesty, it might not have been good news, was it?”
Luo’er spoke, deliberately looking towards Gudelv.
“Was this your doing?”
Unable to help himself, Gudelv questioned aloud, forgetting to counter.
“I participated in the entire event, so I know very well what the root cause of this incident was…”
Luo’er said, revealing a proud smile:
“The people Your Majesty hired had a bit of a problem with their English what! “
