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

"These people we've gathered together are our strength..."

"Actually, there's no benefit for us in staying in this city of Lingas... We might as well retreat and develop elsewhere."

"So, what we're doing now is called retreating to advance!"

After listening to Morgana's words, the group nodded in agreement.

Morgana addressed the crowd, "Does anyone have any questions?"

Upon hearing Morgana's words, everyone raised their hands and said, "Lady Morgana, after we leave, we'll be in the British Empire's sphere of influence. We still have the city of Lingas here, but if we're surrounded by them after we leave, won't we have nowhere to go?"

Morgana smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Of course not. The British Empire is so vast; there's bound to be a place for us to stay. If all else fails, the British Empire has many mountains and forests. We can go into the mountains and forests; there's always a way to survive..."

"We can also look for opportunities to attack those nobles, robbing the rich to help the poor... and then accumulate strength!"

"Our ultimate goal is to find Empress Boudica of the British Empire! As everyone knows, Boudica is the Empress of the British Empire designated by Xiao Shen..."

After hearing Morgana's words, everyone present nodded and indicated that they understood.

Morgana continued, "As you all know, Empress Boudica also abandoned her capital and is now hiding, gathering strength. All we need to do now is make contact with them..."

"Empress Boudica will have a way to obtain some of the weapons that Xiao Shen gave us... so everyone who wants to come with us can do so. However, you might have to endure some hardship for a while..."

"However, I can assure you that your material conditions may be worse than here. But you are all independent individuals, no one will look down on you, and no one will bully you."

"We are all equal. This equality isn't just something I say... and it's not just that we're equal among ourselves, but also that we're equal between you and me..."

"So, is everyone willing to follow me?"

After Morgana asked that question, people immediately started raising their arms and shouting.

"Yes! Lady Morgana, we are willing to follow you!"

"You're right, we need someone independent. We're not afraid of hardship..."

"Yes, and, Ms. Morgana, we people aren't living in very good material conditions under their oppression... As long as we don't starve, that's enough..."

“That’s right, Ms. Morgana, all our efforts now are for our children to have a truly good life…” a woman holding a child said at this moment.

"Yes, it's Lady Morgana. Can we women, the elderly, and the children come along?"

Some elderly, weak, women and children expressed their doubts.

After all, they are not as capable as young adults, and carrying them around is more of a burden than a benefit.

They actually wanted to go with them from the beginning, but they were worried that Morgana wouldn't take them.

Just then, Morgana heard their conversation, smiled, and said, "I've said it before, everyone is equal."

"Whether old or young, women or children, the elderly play their part, children are our hope for the future, and so are women. As you can see, I am a woman... There is no such distinction here; we are equal. As I said before, we women may be at a disadvantage in many ways..."

"But we women also have advantages. Without us, men couldn't have children, right? We only have different roles, not different levels of status..."

Morgana spoke with great emotion.

Those present were also very emotional after hearing Morgana's words...

They nodded.

"We are willing to follow you!"

"We're willing to follow you!"

...

Everyone started raising their arms and shouting.

Morgana smiled in surprise after hearing their words.

"Okay, then we'll decide on the next steps after we leave this place."

"Next, there's only one thing we all need to do..."

After hearing Morgana's words, the people around looked at her with curiosity.

Morgana continued, "Then everyone go back and pack, take whatever you want... but don't bring furniture..."

After hearing Morgana's words, several people nodded in agreement.

Then he said to Morgana, "Lady Moanna, should we burn all the houses here down? After all, if we can't have them, we can't let them fall into their hands!"

After one person spoke up, everyone chimed in, "That's right, Lady Morgana, should we burn this place down... so they have nothing... If we can't have it, we shouldn't let them have it either..."

"Good, burn this area down!"

"Burn this place down..."

Soon, the people here started shouting and yelling.

Actually, when Xiao Ce was talking to Morgana earlier, Morgana also wanted to do the same as the people here.

They also wanted to burn this place down, but Xiao Ce disagreed with their opinion.

He was still quite shocked after hearing Xiao Ce's words.

After all, the difference between people lies in their perception.

"Gentlemen, we are only leaving here temporarily. We will come back later."

"Besides, every brick and every tile here was built by ordinary people like us. We have no reason to destroy our own things. We're just letting them occupy this place temporarily..."

“We have no reason to destroy our own homes, don’t you agree!”

It's a very simple principle, a very simple sentence.

After Morgana said that, everyone present was stunned for a moment before they suddenly realized what she meant.

They all nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Lady Morgana, you're right..."

Morgana didn't waste any words with them, and immediately changed the subject, saying to everyone, "Alright, everyone, let's go and make our preparations. Without further ado, let's meet at midnight tonight on the road outside Lingas City, on the only route to the British Empire, and set off together."

Those present nodded in agreement upon hearing Morgana's words.

As a result, the people at the scene began to scatter.

Frank, Thomson, and the core members looked at Morgana and asked, "Morgana, Lord Xiao, is there anything else you need us to do?"

Morgana said directly to them, "Let's go rescue the people in the prison first. Their guards should have all left..."

Frank asked Morgana, "Aren't those Illuminati soldiers a bit too cowardly... We haven't even started doing anything to them yet, why did they run away? Could there be a trap?"

Morgana said to Frank, "There's no trickery involved. They were simply frightened by Xiao Shen... Perhaps it's because Xiao Shen always has a backup plan after every appearance, so they ran away before they could figure out the situation. After all, they are very powerful people in the West; if they were all wiped out, wouldn't that be a huge joke?"

"With their leader gone, the soldiers were leaderless and naturally retreated..."

After hearing Morgana's words, Frank smiled and nodded, then said, "As expected of Lord Xiao Shen... you really have a plan... Let's hurry. Otherwise, they might realize what's happening and launch a counterattack. Then we'll be at a disadvantage..."

After hearing Frank's words, Morgana smiled and nodded.

“Good, Thomson, you go and operate in the prison. Frank, you go and bring out some officers, then you two prepare to organize some militia units from among the civilians…”

Frank nodded without hesitation and said, "No problem... I'll get right on it..."

With that, everyone went about their own business, since time was limited.

They didn't know how long the navy personnel would be gone before they returned...

...

At this very moment, on the other side, the patriarchs of the twelve families were gradually preparing to board the ship.

Those who boarded the ship were immediately invited by Nie Bing to the same cabin.

After entering the cabin, they found that many family patriarchs had come over.

With Cassies leading Sean, Kate and the others entered the cabin once again.

They seemed somewhat surprised.

After all, they all thought that the Aurelius family wouldn't come over after Nie Bing suspected them.

Despite Sean Aurelius's (Xiao Ce) outstanding performance just now.

They sat down in the seats they had previously taken in Sunburg.

After sitting down, Cassivus smiled at the way everyone was looking at him and said, "Gentlemen, why are you all looking at us like that? Do you all think that the Aurelius family is also a spies?"

Cassivs spoke very directly, and those nearby waved their hands in response.

"Of course not...of course not..."

"We just feel that since the president already suspects you... you'll have to lay low for now, no matter what..."

After listening to the family patriarchs' words, Cassivus smiled and said, "You are all right... However, it is precisely because the guild master has doubts that we have come here..."

"We, the Aurelius family, have always been the most steadfast partners of the Illuminati... I think if there are problems or disagreements, let's resolve them... But if we leave, then if someone wants to smear us, will we really have no chance to defend ourselves?"

"Didn't they say that truth becomes clearer through debate...? So, we have no reason to run away..."

Upon hearing Cassivs's words, the family patriarchs standing nearby all nodded in agreement.

“Yes, that’s right, Chief Cassivs, you’re correct…”

The clan leaders started talking, one after another.

These people spoke casually, just making a nonchalant remark, saying it in a nonchalant way.

After all, it's a matter of "minding one's own business"—that's a generally accepted principle...

Anyway, the family patriarchs present chatted idly, and none of the twelve family patriarchs were missing.

Unbeknownst to them, Nie Bing was observing their every word and action through a hidden door on one side...

Just then, Nie Bing said to Viktor King, who was standing next to her, "Viktor King, what do you think of the Aurelius family now?"

After hearing Nie Bing's words, Victor King wasn't stupid...

Now that Nie Bing doesn't suspect him, wouldn't it be pointless for him to keep harping on Sean and the others?

Now, Nie Bing has given him a way out.

Victor King naturally wouldn't ignore it, after all, he could see that Nie Bing wanted to use Sean.

If he still can't understand, he's just making trouble for himself.

At this moment, Victor King bowed respectfully to Nie Bing and said, "President, it was all my fault. I was overthinking things earlier, but what Mr. Sean did on the execution platform already cleared me of suspicion... I was worrying too much... Now, I feel that the Aurelius family is absolutely innocent..."

Nie Bing was quite satisfied with Viktor King's answer...

He nodded, then said, "Not bad, I thought you'd still hold onto your prejudices... You're a smart person..."

With a serious expression, Nie Bing said to Victor King, "Victor King, Ed White, you two are my right-hand men, and I want to give you important responsibilities. However, you need to understand one thing... that is, if I want to support you, you must also be able to support them. If you can't... then..."

Upon hearing Nie Bing's words, the two were initially excited, then nodded repeatedly...

"President, we will definitely follow in your footsteps..."

Nie Bing smiled and then said, "Alright, that's about enough. We can step in now..."

The two followed behind Nie Bing.

Victor King, still somewhat hesitant, asked, "President..."

Nie Bing turned to look at Viktor King's hesitant expression and said, "I've already ruled out your suspicions. In fact, I think we've all been manipulated by Xiao Ce... I don't think there's any spy among us... that spy is just a figment of our imagination... we've all been played by him!!"
