"Your Majesty did not abandon the subjects, but went to do something more important!"
Nio Aike said.
Those present wore undisguised expressions of sarcasm.
"I know you don't believe it, because your rank is not high enough to touch the highest secrets! Secrets only held by the royal family over generations—we Sefren still have a trump card!"
This statement was met with skepticism.
Hayden Cook: "Then, what does the General think we should do next?"
Nio Aike's gaze swept over the nobles present, and he said solemnly:
"I know you all have your own ideas, but I only offer you two paths—
One, resist with me to the end!
Two, secretly flee within two hours, without taking much material or drawing attention."
The room stirred with commotion.
Some wanted to speak, but meeting Nio Aike's gaze, they ultimately chose to remain silent.
Many nobles who hadn't yet fled actually had the same plan as Duke Miller.
Directly run to surrender, and then surrender the Royal Capital.
