Chapter 1413: Chapter 889: The Resistance (Continued)

"Dorolia Castle Prison? Lord Cyber, why are we attacking there?"

In a secret room of the Maniya City Mercenary Guild, the leaders of several large mercenary groups gathered here, looking respectfully yet confusedly at the elf in front of them.

"Because it’s where the most rebels of the entire Holy Mania Empire are held, and most of them are powerful professionals. Their addition will greatly strengthen our forces."

Opposite the Mercenary Corps Leader, Cyber, who had secretly infiltrated Mania right after learning of the various changes in the Human Kingdom, spoke solemnly.

"Lord Cyber, isn’t it different this time? Many of those held in Dorolia Castle are dangerous individuals. Although there are also our Life believers, more of them are vicious criminals and ambitious schemers. Can they really accept us?"

A Mercenary Group Leader asked worriedly.

"Not to mention, the empire has a strong Guard Corps stationed in Mania, the Seventh Guard Corps has over thirty thousand soldiers, and the Eternal Church has an unknown number of strong individuals hidden..."

Other leaders also spoke with concern.

"There’s no need to worry about that. A single spark can start a prairie fire. Since Lord Saint John was imprisoned in Dorolia Castle, the hope of life has been ignited in that dark fortress. Now, what we need to do is help those imprisoned escape and join us in overthrowing this decadent kingdom!"

Cyber explained with a solemn expression.

"As for the empire’s Seventh Guard Corps..."

As he spoke, Cyber paused and looked meaningfully at the mercenary group leaders present:

"Who should be worried about them are the royals and nobles."

Hearing his words, a flicker passed through the hearts of the mercenary leaders, contemplating the insight.

Cyber continued:

"The challenging part is the Eternal Church, but we’ve already received some inside information. In three days, we’ll have a rare opportunity..."

...

"A rare opportunity?"

In an underground tunnel in the slum area, gathered life believers looked curiously at Dongdong, who was wearing a hood.

"Yes, to secure victory in the war, Pope Benedict II has decided to personally travel south, accompanied by several High Order Bishops and Judgement Knights, in three days."

Dongdong said in a deep voice.

As she spoke, her expression gradually became solemn:

"In three days, most of the Eternal Church’s high-level figures will leave Mania. At that time, it will be when the church is most vulnerable, and it is when we should stand up and resist!"

"Everyone, we have already formed a mighty force. As long as we exploit the church’s vulnerability and break into Dorolia Castle Prison quickly, we can rescue the high-level transcendents inside. With their addition, we will have even stronger power, strong enough to overthrow the Mania royalty, nobles, and the Eternal Church, reshaping the world!"

Dongdong’s words were full of passion.

And in front of her, life believers from the lower strata of society, including peasants, merchants, and artisans, were stirred into excitement.

"Let’s do it! For a better future, for an equal world!" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Overthrow the empire! Overthrow the nobles! Overthrow the Eternal Church!"

"Long live life! Long live equality! Long live the great Goddess!"

They shouted excitedly.

"But... with so many companions participating in the uprising then, how can we identify each other? There will be mercenaries, civilians, and possibly even defecting imperial soldiers. If we can’t identify one another, won’t it be chaotic?"

Someone suddenly asked.

For a moment, all believers turned their eyes to Dongdong, seeking an answer.

...

"Of course, there is a way to identify one another. We have already considered this aspect long ago."

Facing Bowen’s puzzled gaze, Demacia smiled.

As he spoke, he took out a strip of golden armband from his pocket.

"An armband?"

Bowen was slightly taken aback.

"That’s right, this is an armband dyed with the juice of the Maniya Gold and Silver Fruit, which is very cheap and suitable for short-term dyeing. Gold is the symbol of the Goddess’s Divine Power of life. The purpose of our resistance is to create an equal world where all beings are equal, life prevails. It’s most fitting to use it here."

Demacia said.

Captain Bowen was moved:

"So... all of us will need to wear this golden armband at that time?"

Demacia nodded:

"Yes, those wearing this armband are our people."

The middle-aged Priest’s eyes lit up:

"This is a great idea! Even the poorest can afford the Gold and Silver Fruit, and although the dyeing washes off easily, using it for just one battle is more than sufficient!"

"Exactly so."

Demacia nodded slightly, with a smile on his face.

Then, his expression turned serious:

"Lord Bowen, in six days, Benedict II should be far from Mania, and at that time, we must stand up. To promptly control city defenses and break through Dorolia immediately, we need our Guard Corps to take action first."

Upon hearing this, Bowen’s expression was solemn and sacred as he nodded:

"I understand, Lord Demacia. We will promptly control the barracks and city defenses, open the gates for the mercenary allies, and then immediately storm Dorolia together!"

Demacia nodded in satisfaction. He took out a jug of Elven wine from his storage ring and filled three pre-prepared cups on the stone table in the garden courtyard, handing it to the middle-aged Priest and Captain Bowen.
