Chapter 62

As the crowd surged towards the execution platform, a figure was pushing against the flow, trying to挤出 the square.

Guide Party Member A: "Oh, the prophecy has come true, I must hurry to inform the party leader!" —— He squeezed out of the square and quickly left.

Five minutes later, in an inconspicuous fish house at the port of Jilin City,

Guide Party Member A: "Report, Party Leader, the prophecy has come true, Princess Diana has returned with the royal army!" —— He was out of breath.

Guide Party Leader: "Oh? Did you see it with your own eyes?" —— He quickly followed up.

Guide Party Member A: "Absolutely, I saw Princess Diana leading the royal army to the execution platform with my own eyes. I confirmed it by risking my life to get closer." —— He was boasting.

I (Voiceover): "Risking your life to get closer? I didn't see that. When everyone shouted 'The prophecy has come true!' you ran for your life, faster than a rabbit. If someone said you were half-rabbit, I would believe it."

@

Guide Party Member B: "If that's the case, this is serious!!" —— He was excited.

Guide Party Member C: "Leader, we must act quickly!" —— He urged.

Guide Party Leader: "Right, we must inform all the comrades on the island that Princess Diana has returned with the royal army! Quickly, follow the plan to destroy the barrels and open the water valves."

Guide Party Member B: "Yes!" —— He destroyed the more than ten large barrels hidden behind the fish house, and the red dye inside flowed into the sea.

Guide Party Leader: "Flow, red sea, tell all the Tidal Clan on the island that Princess Diana has returned." —— Using the Tidal Clan's ability to control the flow of seawater, the red seawater quickly spread to every inch of the coast of Paradise Island, informing all the Tidal Clan of Princess Diana's return.

At the same time, in the central square of Jilin City,

Gordon: "What are these explosions?" —— He heard the sound of the Guide Party destroying the barrels.

Liu Mother (Liu Hailan's mother, the village chief): "It's the sound of the red water used by the Guide Party to send messages. The barrels are made very sturdy to keep them secret (to prevent the governor's office from inspecting), so they can only be opened with explosives." —— She explained.

Gordon: "Red water for messages?"

Liu Hailan: "To inform all the Tidal Clan on Paradise Island that the prophecy has come true and Princess Diana has returned with the royal army, to get everyone to act together and resist Ares' tyranny." —— She explained.

Gordon: "So all the hidden resistance forces on the island will reveal themselves? I thought it was just in Jilin City. Indeed, it's a clever plan."

Dalei: "..." This conspiracy involves the whole village?"

Liu Hailan: "We can't say we participated, but we all knew about it."

Dalei: "Will you take up arms and respond to the Guide Party's call to rebel?"

Liu Mother: "Of course, the destruction of our village and the torture in prison, we can't not rebel!!" —— She picked up a weapon from a dead mercenary on the ground.

The Villagers: "Yes!" —— They also picked up weapons from the ground to arm themselves, showing their determination to resist.

Dalei: "Sigh, in the end, you still betrayed me." —— She smiled bitterly.

I (Voiceover): "Ah? Betrayed me? What do you mean? I don't understand."

@

Liu Hailan: "Betrayed? Princess, what are you talking about?" —— She was confused.

Dalei: "I mean... Ah, the regular army of the governor's office is here." —— The fully armed Amazon regular army, which had been holding the rear, began to approach the execution platform.

Gordon: "The soldiers in front are steady and fierce, well-equipped, and in formation. They are clearly elite troops. The mob here is no match for them. But I've been wondering since I arrived on the island, what are they holding? Round shields and spears? Is your way of war still in the Middle Ages? Have you never seen firearms? Or is Paradise Island gun-free? How come there are so few archers?" —— He spoke at length.

Liu Hailan: "Is now the time to ask these questions?" —— She complained.

Dalei: "I can only give you a general idea. These are our war customs. And the firearms from your world are not very effective against us Amazons. Even after emptying the magazines (pistols), it's hard to kill anyone. It's more satisfying to stab each other with spears and short swords. This has been proven in our civil wars." —— She explained calmly to Gordon.

Gordon: "Hmph, you've only seen the power of military-grade firearms. You've only seen the modified guns used by Chinese gangs, so you can only have such a narrow-minded view." —— He was不服气.

Liu Mother: "Princess, you seem so calm. Do you have a plan to defeat the enemy?" —— She asked.

Liu Hailan: "Or perhaps the royal army is also hiding in the crowd, just waiting for the right moment, just like when you appeared."

Dalei: "You'll find out soon... Look, the regular army has stopped advancing and is now facing off with you." —— She pointed out the change on the scene.

I (Voiceover): "Hmm? They really changed from coercion to a standoff. Are there royal army agents in the regular army?"

@

Liu Hailan: "Really, there are your people in the regular army?"

Dalei: "We will go up and meet their commander. You wait here and see." —— She looked mysterious.

Liu Mother: "Yes, but please be careful."

Gordon: "Huh, huh, huh, huh, be careful..." —— He held back his laughter.

Cheshire Cat: "..." —— She remained silent, and no one knew what expression was under her cat mask.

Dalei, Gordon, and Cheshire Cat approached the front of the regular army of the governor's office.

Captain: "Oh, we meet again." —— He ran up to greet Dalei.

Dalei: "..." You didn't run away in the chaos just now. Why are you leading your troops here now? Do you want to capture or kill me to claim credit?" —— She was dismissive.

Captain: "Capture or kill you? Impossible. We are hired by the governor's office and eat the governor's food. I just came to show my welcome. Welcome back, Governor!" —— He bowed.

I (Voiceover): "Ah? Dalei is the governor? The daughter of the war god Ares and the new empress Persephone? The old man wasn't helping the righteous side? What's going on here?"

@

Dalei: "Oh? I didn't expect you to have such insight, to see through my true identity. Tell me, how did you know?" —— She was surprised.

Captain: "I recognized the emblem on your helmet."

Dalei: "Emblem? You recognize my emblem? Not many people on Paradise Island know it. What level are you, just a mercenary?"

Captain: "I discovered it by chance when I reported back to the governor's office this afternoon. The pattern on the screen behind the governor's throne is exactly the same as the unknown emblem on your helmet, so I deduced your identity."

I (Voiceover): "So that's how it was exposed. No wonder this rogue captain told his subordinates not to get involved. He was afraid of being a sacrificial pawn, like the bodies lying on the square."
