MMORPG: I Can See Hidden Information

Chapter 126: Plan of the Heavenly King’s Palace

Second Prince Ron and Third Prince Luo Minzhang, who had been watching from the sides, were understandably terrified as they watched the horrific scene.

Now, Ross Collin III was walking unhesitatingly toward the second prince with his bloodied sword still in hand.

“Second Prince, your crimes are no less than those of the eldest and the youngest! Die!”

Ross Collin III roared in a low voice.

Ron struggled as he cried.

“Father… I was wrong! Father! Spare your son!”

Without giving him any time to continue struggling, the sword sliced through Ron’s throat.

Another geyser of blood poured as the body of the second prince collapsed into a pool of blood with a whimper.

Watching as his two brothers fell one after another, Luo Minzhang immediately knelt in front of the king, desperately begging for his life.

“Father, father! Please don’t kill your son! Your son knows all the plans of the Heavenly King’s Palace!”

He had successfully piqued Ross Collin III’s interest.

“What plans do they have?”

Seeing that his father’s merciless demeanor seemed to have slightly improved, Luo Minzhang laid everything bare.

“In seven days, the people from the Heavenly King’s Palace will attack the Imperial Capital.”

Ross Collin III continued to ask.

“How many people do they have?”

“About 100,000!”

Ross Collin III was taken aback.

“100,000 people? The total numbers of the army stationed in the entire Imperial Capital of Rowei is merely 10,000. It seems that the Heavenly King’s Palace has invested a lot into this this time.

“Is there any other information?”

Luo Minzhang glanced at Fike before continuing.

“Father, wasn’t Zakaithus already killed by this kid… No, the Prince Consort?”

Fike looked back at Luo Minzhang, who was still in the dark, and smiled as he spoke.

“I only tricked Zakaithus into giving up his evil blade. I never said I killed the man myself.”

Luo Minzhang instantly understood everything now, finally realizing how stupid he and his two now dead brothers had been.

However, it was too late. Regardless of how much he regretted anything, everything was already set in stone.

Ross Collin III turned his attention to Fike.

“Fike! What good ideas do you have? Tell me.”

Seeing that the king had asked for his advice, Fike replied.

“In my opinion, if we wait seven days to fight against the Heavenly King’s Palace, in terms of manpower, it will be very difficult for us to win.

“Even if we were to ask for aid from the Royal City of Romon, it is unlikely that tens of thousands of troops can arrive here in seven days.

“And as far as I know, the Heavenly King’s Palace’s army is already stationed at Fu Shou Village, which separates Romon and the Imperial Capital of Rowei.

“Furthermore, there aren’t any other big city-states near Rowei, so we’re basically isolated and somewhat helpless.”

Ross Collin III drew a sharp breath after hearing his assessment.

“So, do we have no options at all?”

Fike smiled as he shook his head.

“If His Majesty, the King, would trust me, I have a plan that may resolve the urgent situation at hand, and even uproot the 100,000 soldiers of the Heavenly King’s Palace!”

Ross Collin III replied excitedly.

“What plan?”

“Rather than passively defending, we might as well take the initiative to attack, and try to eliminate the root of the problem before their troops can arrive. That way, we can rest easy!

“I suggest that we form an elite team of around 30 assassins within three days, and head to Fu Shou Village to assassinate Zakaithus.

“If Zakaithus is dead, the Heavenly King’s Palace will lose their leader. In that case, even if there are 100,000 opponents, our 10,000 strong army will be able to crush them like a hot knife through butter!”

After considering Fike’s suggestion, Ross Collin III praised him graciously.

“Good! Fike, then this matter will be left for you to handle!”

“Right now, the entire kingdom has been thrown into a state of chaos. After we finish off the Heavenly King’s Palace, everything will have to be reshuffled!

“Fike, I now grant you the highest authority to mobilize the entire Lieluo Army!”

Fike received an exquisite token from Ross Collin III.

“You may begin preparations for the assassination operation now!”

“Yes!”

Fike thanked him before leaving.

Once he was gone, the king called for his attendant.

“Saunders!”

Sunders rushed over and knelt on the ground.

“Your Majesty, what can I do for you?”

“Send some men to keep an eye on Fike for the next few days!”

“Yes, Your Majesty! I’ll be right on it!”

Seeing as Saunders was preparing to leave, Ross Collin III continued.

“Also, throw the third prince, Luo Minzhang, into prison!”

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Luo Minzhang was alerted and looked at his father with a puzzled expression.

“Father! Father!” He cried.

“Father! I don’t want to die! Father! Your son has already realized his mistake! Let me live! Father!”

Luo Minzhang continued to wail as he was escorted out of the Imperial Court by the soldiers.

Meanwhile, Ross Collin III quietly walked up to his throne, inspecting his treasured sword in his hands.

From afar, he did not look anything like a king who had just recovered from a terminal illness.

“I’ve slept for two years! It’s time to stretch my bones and muscles!”

Ross Collin III smiled.

…

Fike had already left the palace and was rushing to the auditorium on the North Mountain.

As soon as he arrived at its foot, the first thing he noticed was the pile of corpses on the ground.

With every step he took, more and more of these corpses seemed to appear.

Eventually, he finally reached the top of the mountain, where he found a large hall, its half open door seemingly giving off a strong murderous aura.

Fike cautiously crept into the hall.

At this moment, a familiar voice sounded.

“Fike, you’re finally here!”

Fike turned to the direction of the voice before realizing that it was Cisco.

The other three teachers were also here by his side.

“Cisco?” Fike asked casually.

“From what I can see, you four professors have already killed off whatever remained of the traitors who were stationed here!”

Cisco smiled.

“That’s true, but what about you? Why isn’t Princess Lan Xi with you?”

Fike explained.

“We’ve eliminated the rebels in the palace. As for Lan Xi, she should still be there.

“There are too many things to discuss here. I’ll explain more later on the way.

“We need to prepare for the assassination of Zakaithus now!”

Hearing Fike’s words, the four professors were stunned.

“Assassinate Zakaithus?”

“That’s right!”

“In seven days, the 100,000-strong troops of the Heavenly King’s Palace will siege the Imperial City of Rowei! Our only hope is to kill their leader before they can arrive!”

“Your plan is too insane!”

Casey protested.

“Ah! I think it’s very interesting! I haven’t been so worked up in a long time!”

Thor, however, agreed excitedly.P
