Chapter 157: The Purpose of Higgis’ Visit
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You want to join our Lieluo Army? Did I hear wrong?”
Said Lowe, as he looked at Higgis in disbelief.
Then, Higgis smiled and continued to speak.
“Of course! I came all the way here precisely to join the Lieluo Army!”
“Also, I brought a gift for the two leaders!”
“A gift for the two leaders?”
Romon said in confusion.
Higgis smiled mysteriously and clapped his hands, at which time a black-clad man who was standing behind him took out a huge blueprint from his pocket.
Higgis accepted the blueprint that the man handed over, before walking forward and presenting it with both hands.
“Two leaders, this is the Empire’s next battle plan and detailed military deployment of the specific defense points.”
“It includes a detailed description of the current Empire’s specific strength as well! I hope that you will like this welcome gift!”
After receiving the blueprint, Rowe and Romon looked at the densely written words on it and felt a wave of surprise in their hearts.
“To think that the current strength of this Empire is that weak! Based on the strength shown on paper, there is no way they will be able to compete with us at all!”
Rowe exclaimed.
Romon was still carefully observing the contents of the blueprint.
After a round of examination, Romon spoke to Higgis.
“Are the records on this true?”
Upon hearing this, Higgis smilingly replied to Romon.
“It’s absolutely true, how could it be false?”
When Rowe and Romon heard this, they looked at each other and calmly started to smile.
“Great! This is really great! I didn’t expect that we would be able to obtain all the details of the Empire so easily!
“It looks like the day that we take over the Empire is very near!”
Rowe looked at Higgis once again and asked,?“Higgis, why did you make such a choice? Can we trust you?”
Upon hearing that, Higgis grinned in reply.
“Because of Lecter!”
“Lecter?”
Romon said in puzzlement.
“Why do you say that?”
Rowe continued to press him.
Higgis then continued to speak.
“Lecter and I have always been close friends. Even after he joined the Lieluo Army, he continued to do ideological work for me. During this time, I started to feel that my position in the Empire was already on the verge of collapse!”
“On the verge of collapse? Why did it become like this?” Rowe asked.
Higgis gave a light smile as he replied.
“I believe that the two leaders already know that a great master has arrived in our Empire recently!”
“I did know that, but what does this have to do with you?”
Rowe continued to ask.
When Higgis heard this, he answered indignantly.
“Of course it has! That great master has not only completely usurped my position in the Empire, but also completely disregards us. How could we possibly be willing to be inferior towards such an arrogant person?”
“Moreover, ever since Lecter had left, Sano has been suspicious of me. Hence, I had the thought of taking such a risk!
“Two leaders, I know that you hate me, but if both sides are going to die, I would rather choose to side with the Lieluo Army. At least the process wouldn’t be so painful!”
When Rowe heard this, he opened his mouth to ask Higgis.
“Higgis, do you know how many soldiers of our Lieluo Army died because of the northern front that you suggested to set up?”
Haggis replied, “According to the current statistics, there were at least 10,000 people!”
“So you are aware of it!” Romon said angrily.
Seeing that the situation seemed to have gotten a little delicate, Haggis spoke first.
“However, two leaders, if I did not choose to join you today, I’m afraid that in the future, there will only be more warriors who will die and be injured!”
Rowe and Romon gave each other a look before continuing to speak.
“What you said does make some sense! However...”
Rowe paused, then he pulled out the sword that was at his waist and pointed it at Higgis. Then, he spoke again.
“If I don’t kill you today, how can I face those dead soldiers?”
Suddenly, Rowe raised his sword and made a move as if he was about to stab.
Higgis pleaded,?“If the leader wants me to die, then please at least let my brothers go!”
When Rowe heard this, he sneered.
“Good! Then I’ll grant your wish!”
Suddenly, a shout came from outside the room.
“Hold him back! hold him back!”
Rowe looked towards the door.
It was Lecter.
Lecter rushed into the room and stood in front of Higgis before addressing Rowe.
“Leader, you can’t kill him! You can’t kill him!”
“Why can’t I kill him? If he’s still alive, how can I face the soldiers who died on the battlefield?” Rowe said to Lecter.
Lecter looked at Higgis and pleaded, “Don’t you know the movements of the assassin army in the city?
“Quickly, tell the leader!”
When Rowe heard this, he could not help but feel curious, so he looked at Haggis and said, “You knew about the movements of the assassin army in the city? Why didn’t you mention it just now?”
As if he had already planned this, Haggis smiled, and question Rowe in return.
“If I had mentioned it earlier, wouldn’t I have been doomed?”
“But since you already had the intention of submitting, of course, you were obligated to inform us about the movements of the Empire!”
Rowe answered angrily.
By now, Higgis seemed to have become more confident as he spoke.
“Is this how the lord leader treats people who sincerely submit?”
When Rowe heard this, he could not help but look hesitant.
Just then, Romon, Lecter, and Sifusco who were standing to the side seemed to have seen the meaning in Rowe’s eyes, and they immediately went forward to plead for Higgis.
“Leader, please let Higgis go on account of his sincere submission and the important information he has given us!”
“That’s right, that’s right. In the past, we were on different sides. Since he has already turned over to the light, why don’t we spare his life and let him redeem himself? What do you think?”
After hearing this, Rowe pretended to be very conflicted.
In the end, he threw the sword that was in his hand onto the ground.
“This is crazy! This is really crazy!
“I think it’s better if you guys become the leaders of the Lieluo Army instead!”
