SSS SKILL: DUPLICATE-Chapter 58 Army Revolution

"W-what?" The marshal's face turned pale and shocked. He can't believe what he is seeing and hearing.

"Do I need to repeat it? You will be traitors," Calmly said by Llan.

The marshal's eyes turned red from anger. His face is so fierce.

"Damn YOUUU!!! I will kill you!!! I will slowly kill you!! You will not die alone!! You will experience unimaginable pain with your family!! I will make sure of that!! Ahhhh!" the marshal shouted.

The marshal is trying to use his aura and magic. Aura and mana started flowing out of his body, but they were all absorbed by the chains with shining runes.

"Huff huff, what the fuck is this?!?" asked the marshal. He is shocked as he raised his arms and stared at the chains that kept absorbing his aura and mana.

Aura masters and magicians are usually put in prison and tied with very strong chains to prevent their escape. Many aura masters and magicians who committed crimes were killed because it was too troublesome to imprison them. Edgar assigned a research team to invent the chain because his army and special force will suffer a very strong resistance if too many enemies are killed since there is not enough material to hold them in prison. If their aura and magic cannot find a way to suppress them, they will be a dangerous time bomb. The magic chain already exists on earth. Edgar gave them a direction, but it still took many years before they succeeded.

Llan smiled at the marshal and said,"It is a magic chain that lets you live. We would have killed you if we could not find a way to suppress your aura and magic."

The marshal stares at Llan with his fierce eyes. He is gritting his teeth.

"WHY?!! You worked for me for so long! I did not treat you badly!! Why?!!" the Marshal furiously asked.

Llan's eyes suddenly turned fierce.

"You turned my father into a slave! You let him mine for many years! You let him die!" shouted Llan.

The marshal's face suddenly changed.

Llan's eyes turned red, and tears started falling.

"He went out to work and never came back. I thought he left us; I can't believe it because I know how much he loves us. I hated him for leaving us and passing the burden to me and my mother. Later, a man came to me and gave me a blood letter of my father. He also told me what happened. My father was captured when he was going home and forced to mine. He did not give up his life hoping he could be free and go back to us. He had mined for many years even if his body is breaking down."

More tears fall from Llan's eyes as she fiercely stares at the Marshal.

"He begged you to get treated when he was severely injured! He never begged for payment even after working for many years! He begged you to at least let him see us before dying! You let him die!"

The marshal's face is distorted. He remembered an old man who was clinging to his feet, crying so much and begging to let him see his family before dying. He was one of those who were captured because the mine lacked miners. The mine is important to Duke Reich, so he was there to supervise it. 𝒷𝓮𝒹𝓃ℴ𝓿𝓮𝓁.𝓬𝓸𝓂

The Marshal still fiercely stares at Llan.

"Your revolt will be doomed. You don't know how powerful the force behind Duke Reich is!"

Llan wiped his tears and chuckled.

"You think we didn't know that Duke Reich is secretly supported by the Maginev Empire? We will not move if we have no assurance of winning. I hope the king will allow Duke Reich to live and let him accompany you in the mine for the rest of your lives. I will visit the mine and watch happily as you work there forever."

Llan and the Vice Marshal left the tent. The Marshal's face was stupefied.

The Vice Marshal looked at his subordinate and ordered, "Gather the soldiers."

After a few minutes, all the soldiers are gathered on the open ground.

"Is there another drill?"

"Yes, probably. Look, the sound blockade is activated again. The Vice Marshal said that it is necessary during drill to prevent spies from hearing our combat drill."

The Vice Marshal walks to the platform; behind him are boxes and a treasure chest. The soldiers notice that the atmosphere is different today and very solemn. The ground became quiet.

The Vice Marshal stands on the platform and faces the soldiers.

"Today, we are not going to drill. Our decision here will determine the fate of our kingdom. There is bad news that I must tell you! Our kingdom is at risk of being sold!"

The soldiers are shocked. Their minds went blank for a while. The ground became noisy.

"Vice Marshal, how is that possible? Where is the enemy?! There is not even a war!"

"Yes! Yes! There is no sign of war."

"How the hell is our kingdom going to be sold? As if the Royal Court will allow that! That is only possible if the Maginev Empire controls the Royal Court!"

The Vice Marshal raised his hand to calm the crowd.

"I am sorry to inform you that the thing we are most afraid to happen is happening right now. The Maginev Empire controls the Royal Court of Ru kingdom through Duke Reich! Here is the evidence we got from the Marshal assigned by Duke Reich! Open the box!"

The soldiers' minds are struck by lightning. The impossible actually happened. They stare at the boxes, hoping that it isn't true.

The boxes opened, and inside of them were the currency of the Maginev Empire and letters. The vice marshal read some exchanged letters between the Marshal, Duke Reich, and Maginev empire. The soldiers feel terrified. Some of the letters are actually not true, but Baynard mixed truth with falsehood to make them more convincing. The money was not taken from the marshal, it was prepared by Baynard to produce more planted evidence.

"Soldiers! Duke Reich is a secret ally of the Maginev Empire for a long time. Once the war in the west of the Maginev Empire stops, their focus will turn to us. Duke Reich, who controls the Royal Court, will open our border with open arms to the soldiers of the empire. Have you seen the state of citizens conquered by the empire in the past?! They are treated as lower beings! Their nobles could bully the others at will! Do you want your family to live in that state?! When your fellow citizen becomes their plaything, are you willing?!?"

The Vice Marshal's eyes are red from anger.

"We have stayed here in the border for a long time. We have a fellow soldier last month that saved our fellow citizen from an animal's hand, a soldier of the empire. The empire brazenly crossed the border, abused our citizens but saved by our soldier. Do you remember what they did? They captured our fellow soldier in our own land! They humiliated and killed our fellow but our marshal stopped us from doing anything!! The soldier's family was howling and asking why!! I can't answer and even look at their eyes!! The empire humiliated us so many times! Soldiers, are you willing to surrender to them?!!"

All the soldier's eyes are red. Everything the Vice Marshal said is vivid in their minds. There is a boiling rage within them.

"NOOO!" shouted the soldiers.

"Even if we are unwilling to surrender, we cannot fight the empire alone! Our kingdom is doomed without a powerful protection. A kingdom is willing to protect our kingdom under its wing, the Baynard kingdom! Where do you think the money they earned so much is going? Its a secret army! A powerful secret army that can contend against the empire! Right now, our capital is probably already captured by Baynard using that army! Baynard is so powerful that not only our kingdom but even Fran is being captured right now!"

"Do you not yearn to serve under Baynard? Free education for your children. No suffering of our citizens. Fair treatment under the law. Living in a prosperous kingdom where you don't have to worry about food and clothing for your family! Soldiers, let's end the suffering of our citizens and let your family have a prosperous life! Let's welcome Baynard with open arms!"

The Vice Marshal vigorously raised his hand as he said his closing speech. The soldiers feel excited. They have already heard so many times how the refugees from Ru and Fran turned from poor to rich. Some of them even went to Baynard to confirm the news. Many Rus and Frannian also joined the army or the Royal Court of Baynard.

The soldiers raised their hands. It isn't just happening on the border but all around the kingdom. The same thing is happening in Fran. Baynard had prepared for so long. Many of their secret allies in the army in two kingdoms are promoted in the army in various ways. They spread the news of the lives of refugees that came from their kingdom. They became the main source of propaganda in the army. Their allies subdued the officers that could hinder them before instigating the soldiers. All their preparation is for this historical revolution.

"LETS WELCOME BAYNARD WITH OPEN ARMS!"
