Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

After nodding, Cassivs looked at Kate and asked, "So... does Kate still want to go?"

After hearing Cassivs's words, Xiao Ce smiled and then looked at Kate.

Kate's expression at this moment was actually very complicated.

Xiao Ce then said to Kate, "Kate, what do you think...?"

Kate looked embarrassed after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

Xiao Ce said to Kate, "Kate, what's wrong? If you want to go, go. If you don't want to go, I won't force you. After all, haven't you had a lot to learn about what happened today?"

Kate said to Xiao Ce, "Ninth Master, I'm afraid of holding you back. I'm not scared... I'm just afraid of not doing a good job..."

Upon hearing Kate's words, Xiao Ce smiled and quickly waved his hand, then said, "What's there to be afraid of... there's nothing to be afraid of... besides, you didn't hold us back, I think you did a great job, you've been a great help to us..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Kate smiled and then asked expectantly, "Really?"

Xiao Ce nodded to Kate and then said, "Of course it's true... Just tell me if you want to go or not... Let's be straightforward. I'm allowing you to come with me, so I'm allowing you to make mistakes..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Kate nodded without hesitation and said directly to him, "Ninth Master, if you say so, I absolutely have no objections... I want to go..."

Seeing Kate's resolute expression, Xiao Ce smiled and said to her, "Oh? You're that determined?"

Kate smiled at Xiao Ce, then nodded: "That's right, Ninth Master. Because I've discovered that the entire West is about to enter a period of change. In such a changing world, our previous ivory tower approach is probably no longer viable..."

"The sooner we weather the storms, the higher our chances of survival will be..."

"This isn't just for you, it's also for myself!"

Cassivs, who was standing nearby, was clearly somewhat surprised when he heard Kate say that...

Cassivs said to Kate, "Kate, I didn't expect this... It seems that your father's parenting methods had their advantages, but also their disadvantages..."

After hearing Cassivs's words, Kate shook her head, then said to him, "Third Master, it's not like that. Actually, Grandpa's method is good... In a peaceful world, this method is the best. We have enough time to try and fail..."

"However, Grandpa probably didn't expect that East Asia would rise so quickly... and that the West would be drawn into this vortex so rapidly..."

After hearing Kate's words, Cassie smiled and then gave a thumbs up.

Xiao Ce smiled and said, "Carlivis, look at Kate's attitude and awareness; it shows that your father's education was correct..."

Without further ado, Xiao Ce said directly to Cassivis, "Alright, Cassivis, let's get ready... and wait..."

Cassivs nodded to Xiao Ce, then said, "By the way, Ninth Brother, do you think all the patriarchs of the twelve families will go?"

Xiao Ce nodded: "That's right. My tricks might work well to intimidate ordinary people, but they won't work on these individuals... They need tangible benefits to sway them. In the current situation, Nie Bing's side definitely has the upper hand..."

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Cassivs nodded and then said, "Ninth Brother, you know the people here very well..."

Xiao Ce smiled and then said, "Actually, human nature is pretty much the same for everyone... it doesn't matter who you are..."

The group chatted idly, making small talk.

...

Meanwhile, at the docks in Lingas City just moments before...

At this moment, the people cheered incessantly. To be honest, ever since the Illuminati occupied their area, they had been cheering.

They don't spend every day in a state of repression.

In fact, if they had never seen the light, they could have endured the darkness.

But having witnessed the brightness of the light, they could no longer bear the darkness...

In particular, they experienced dignity and self-respect.

How wonderful those days were! They imagined that day of freedom every single moment...

They had been waiting for this day, but it never came.

Just when they were in despair, Xiao Ce descended upon them once again.

Xiao Shen!

It brought them unparalleled light once again.

Previously, they had only heard rumors that Xiao Ce was a god!

They actually believed that Xiao Ce would bring them good days, so they called him a god.

But today, just now.

They witnessed the miracle firsthand.

They confirmed that Xiao Ce was not an imposter; he was a real god.

They saw with their own eyes Xiao Ce, that several-meter-tall deity.

These scenes drove them almost mad, driven by the sound coming from all directions.

What shocked them most was that Morgana, who had been brutally tortured by the Illuminati, had recovered remarkably well under Xiao Ce's 'healing'...

It can be said that he recovered as if nothing had happened; only a god could do that.

So they won again, they went crazy.

They were venting the pent-up emotions of the past few days.

As the atmosphere reached its climax, Morgana stood on the observation platform that Nie Bing and the others had set up earlier.

"Everyone, everyone..."

The cohesion among these people was actually quite terrifying. Originally, there was a deafening cheer, but Morgana only shouted one sentence without making a loud noise.

Everyone present immediately fell silent.

The entire scene suddenly became so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

At that moment, Morgana continued, "First of all, thank you all for your kind help in rescuing us!"

Upon hearing Morgana's words, everyone present said with reverence, "Thank you, God Xiao!"

Seeing everyone's expression, Morgana smiled and said, "Xiao Shen told me that he didn't save you in vain; you all deserved it... Xiao Shen has some matters to attend to in the God Realm..."

"Just now, he came through the void after sensing your mental power, telling us that he had always been there... So, he said that you all did it yourselves..."

Morgana immediately started blowing according to the method Xiao Ce had just described.

In fact, people of this era, whether they are Chinese, East Asians, or even Westerners, are all different.

If you try to explain science to them, they won't understand.

But if you talk to them about God, they will understand immediately.

After all, it was the Industrial Revolution.

However, the Western world is very divided due to the existence of the Illuminati.

Therefore, their technology and reforms are all geared towards serving the wealthy.

It appears to be a reform, but it has actually reformed the wealthy segment of the population.

In order to control these ordinary people, the Illuminati did not give them such technological reforms.

Therefore, these people did not actually experience much of the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution.

Of course, there are some problems as well. One is that with the advent of industrial machinery, many of them lost their jobs.

Those noble merchants would not make their products cheaper for ordinary people simply because their production costs had decreased.

Because of the existence of the Illuminati, those merchants possessed monopolistic power.

Once a monopoly is established, the common people are like lambs to the slaughter.

Therefore, the people here actually have more faith in divine authority.

After Morgana said that, everyone present looked at her with great enthusiasm.

Morgana continued, "Did you all hear what Xiao Shen said just now?"

Some of the more astute individuals began to say, "We heard that! Xiao Shen told us, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime...'"

After hearing what these people said, Morgana nodded: "That's right, the reason is simple. He will help us at the crucial moment. In fact, they already helped us obtain Lingas before, and he also bestowed upon us divine weapons. It was we who lost Lingas!"

"Therefore, we need to defend our rights in our own way! To protect Lingas City, right!"

After Morgana said this, everyone nodded, and then they shouted after her, "Defend Lingas!"

"Defend Lingas City!"

...

Following the cheers, Morgana continued, "Very good, everyone has shown this courage, and I believe Lord Xiao Shen will be very pleased..."

"Lord Xiao has appointed you as his leader. Do you have any objections? After all, it was because of me that we lost Lingas City..."

"Lady Morgana, this has nothing to do with you. You did a great job. They deployed their most powerful Light Guardians and those inhuman ironman armies; no one could stop them..."

"Excellent, Lady Morgana, you have done very well! We support you."

With everyone chiming in, they raised their arms and shouted, "Support Lady Morgana! Support Lady Morgana!"

The sound of the crowd surged like waves.

One wave after another...

Morgana didn't mince words; she had said all that to achieve this goal.

Morgana nodded, then said to everyone present, "Very good, I have seen everyone's enthusiasm..."

"Lord Xiao has chosen me, and everyone supports me. This time, I will not let everyone suffer again!"

"Lord Xiao Shen has just given me orders. Our next step is to rescue our followers from the prison, and then take you away from Lingas City!"

Morgana didn't beat around the bush; she got straight to the point.

Initially, the people who supported Morgana were shocked to hear that she was leaving Lingas City.

They were immediately puzzled.

Just moments ago they were shouting to defend Lingas City, so why are they now leaving?

Although Morgana said it was Xiao Shen who said it.

It's true that they are superstitious about Xiao Shen, but they still have some doubts about why these words came from Xiao Shen's mouth but from Morgana's.

Even though Morgana was the person Xiao Shen had chosen.

Morgana noticed that the people were all whispering among themselves.

He continued, "Everyone should be well aware of the Illuminati's strength."

"Were they fleeing in panic just now because of our firepower?"

Before anyone could answer, Morgana answered her own question, "Yes and no..."

"Actually, the main reason is that they were scared away by Xiao Shen. As you all know, if it weren't for Xiao Shen, let alone their Iron Legion, even if their Light Guards were to stop the counterattack, could we really win?"

Morgana's words instantly brought the entire audience back to calm, bringing them down from their previous euphoria of victory.

Morgana continued, "Admittedly, the victory in the last round was due to everyone's unity, which scared them off, but without Xiao Shen, we wouldn't have been able to win at all."

"Everyone, if we don't leave, what do you think we'll face?"

After hearing Morgana's words, the people present fell silent.

Afterwards, they also entered a period of calm reflection.

"Furthermore, as everyone should have noticed, the Radiant Army didn't come this time..."

"If none of this was caused by Xiao Shen, do you think we could have achieved such a great victory?"

“The Light Illumination Army is already well-equipped; one Light Illumination Army soldier can take on ten opponents. Not to mention those Light Guards who are known as the Butchers of Men. If they organize themselves, we may have the advantage in numbers.”

"But in a fierce battle, how much of an advantage can we gain?"

The situation calmed down.

"Lady Morgana, we're sorry, we shouldn't have questioned you... Just tell us what to do, and we'll follow you!"

"That's right, Lady Morgana. We shouldn't question you. You are the one chosen by Xiao Shen. We should support you... We will follow you forever. Whatever you say, we will do."

"I will follow you forever, Lady Morgana!"

"I will follow you forever, Lady Morgana!"

"I will follow you forever, Lady Morgana!"

...

People have a herd mentality; once one person speaks, everyone else starts shouting too.

Just then, Morgana nodded: "Okay, everyone, this plan isn't my own idea. It was Xiao Shen who guided us. Xiao Shen told us that we're not in a favorable position right now, so we shouldn't worry about the gains or losses of a single city..."

"The Lighthouse Council, for the sake of face, will definitely fight tooth and nail for Lingas City. Actually, whether we're in Lingas City or not isn't important... being here is actually more dangerous for us..."

"We need to leave here. There's a vast world within the British Empire... there are many more people there who suffer the same oppression as us. Let's go and liberate them, and bring them into our ranks..."
