People in Terra, poor and weak but invincible

Chapter 675 Surrender

At that time, the hammer was only 0 cm away from my head. I thought I was about to see an angel. A quarter of an incense stick later, I was sure that I really saw an angel.

"Ms. Vina, he means no harm."

Amiya spoke up to stop Vina from killing him.

Vina's hammer was hovering above the oddly shaped hat of Gray Top Hat. The cold hammer face was already against the hat, and the wind created caused the hat to move.

Gray Hat's heartbeat paused for a moment.

"Sir, please don't do anything that might cause misunderstanding. Continue to explain your purpose." Amiya slowly walked to the gray hat and said, "Please put aside your acting skills. I believe that the intelligence agents under the Duke of Caister will be able to find our traces, and will not be caught so easily."

"Carters... yes, you... oh no, you peeped into my thoughts?"

As a professional intelligence expert, Gray Hat recognized Amiya's identity at the first moment.

He knew very well that as the current Demon King, the black crown had the power to see into other people's hearts.

This feeling made Gray Hat feel uncomfortable all over.

Amiya said seriously:

"We are the ones interrogating you, please don't ask us questions."

"...I'm sorry." The gray hat's eyes suddenly cleared up. "I came here to surrender. Your Excellency the Duke does not want to fall out with His Highness, and even less does he want to have a conflict with Rhodes Island."

"Why should we trust you?" Amiya asked.

"I am willing to open my heart to your scrutiny."

The man in the gray hat straightened his hat and spoke in a calm tone, showing his sincerity and clear conscience.

Amiya shook her head: "I don't like to pry into other people's emotions. I just did that to save your life, but that's all."

This answer stunned the man in the gray hat.

He never dreamed that the leader of Rhodes Island, the bearer of the Sarkaz 'Black Crown', would be so kind and gentle.

Is this a way for the other party to win people's hearts, or...

Gray Hat tried his best to curb his wild thoughts and said seriously:

"Your Excellency the Duke admits his ambition, but a great Duke will not be consumed by ambition."

He shifted his gaze from the girl in front of him who was acting like an angel while being a demon king, and once again focused on Vina, and continued:

"Your Highness, I have done a lot of homework before coming here. For example, you currently have no soldiers of your own.

Rhodes Island is very strong, and their support is enough to bring great help to Your Highness, but if you want to return to the throne, these people alone are not enough. This is not about strength, but about people.

A country, a powerful Victoria located in the center of Terra, is a huge structure that operates on the basis of people.

With all due respect, Rhodes Island does not have enough manpower to control Victoria. Qi Yan may be very powerful, but he is only one person or a god. He cannot take care of everything by himself. "

Vina did not respond.

Amiya and everyone on Rhodes Island also remained silent, and everyone was looking at Vina.

This is a decision that only Vina can make.

"It was you who led the Sarkaz into the house in the first place. Now that you feel Qi Yan and Rhodes Island are powerful, it is you who have come to surrender."

Vina's voice was cold and emotionless: "Your ambition has plunged Victoria into chaos, and now you come to tell me that you are scared and want to protect yourself?"

"Yes, that is exactly what your Excellency the Duke thinks."

To Vina's surprise, Gray Hat admitted everything without hesitation.

Vina's fingers tightened around the hammer again.

Gray Hat was not too anxious this time. He looked at Vina and her hammer and said slowly:

“Your Highness, perhaps we can try a different angle.

It was heartbreaking that His Majesty died in the dark turmoil in Victoria. The dukes must act immediately to prevent the huge country of Victoria from falling apart with the turmoil.

Some of them just stood by and watched, some joined the game, and some invited the wolves into the house. These are all reasonable choices made by normal people in the face of the current situation. "

Vina's eyes burned with anger and she raised the hammer once again.

Gray Hat's tone remained the same:

"Your Highness, why do you want to return to the throne?"

"what?"

"Your Highness, do you think the Duke should be loyal to the throne, to the figure sitting on that towering golden throne, or to Victoria?"

"you……"

"Your Highness, may I ask, what is Victoria?"

"..."

This was the second time Vina had heard this question.

But she still couldn't answer.

Gray Hat moved slowly, trying his best to avoid being misunderstood by people around him about what he was going to do.

But his movements were equally firm. He knelt on one knee and bowed his head in a gesture of submission:

“Your Highness, you are the crown prince, but if you only look at the issue based on your bloodline and identity, I can tell you frankly that in Victoria, in the hands of the Duke of Wellington, there is still a pure-blooded red dragon.

According to secular rules, the red dragon has the same claim rights as you, Your Highness.

To be honest, His Excellency the Duke chose you, Your Highness, because behind you, he saw Qi Yan's support, and His Excellency the Duke chose Qi Yan.

If you feel uncontrollable anger about this and hate all dukedoms because of it, then please, Your Highness, grant me peace."

"Are you threatening me?" Vina said angrily.

"No, I am just reminding Your Highness." The man in the gray hat still kept his head bowed, "If you kill me, it means you have rejected the possibility of the Duke's surrender.

It means that you reject Victoria's history and refuse to return to Victoria's throne.

It means that you continue to fight for the throne, and want to overthrow everything in Victoria and rebuild a new Victoria that belongs only to you.

There is no chance of a duke surviving in this Victoria."

"Why can't I do this?" Vina asked.

“Of course you can do that because you have the support of Qi Yan.”

"I……"

Vina was stunned again.

She understood what Gray Hat meant by that.

If she had Qi Yan's powerful military support, she could indeed overcome all obstacles before her, but then what?

Build a new Victoria on a deserted Victoria?

This was not a matter of demolishing and rebuilding a house, it was also a war, a war on a far larger scale than the one she hated now.

The man in the gray hat raised his head and looked up at the person in front of him.

He asked softly:

"Your Highness, why do you want to be king?"

This is also not the first time Vina has encountered similar problems.

Last time, her answer was that as Victoria's crown prince, she should be king.

But this time, she couldn't give an answer that even she felt disgusted with.

"Because... I want to bring peace back to Victoria."

Vina's voice was so soft, so soft that she doubted that anyone except herself could hear the answer.

But in fact, everyone present heard this answer.

In silence, the man in the gray hat lowered his head again, took a deep breath, and said loudly:

"I am willing to go through fire and water for Victoria!"
