Vader Heathcliff looked out of the window, silently waiting for the light to shine on the earth again.
Dusk and dawn were fixed resting times in this large maze that divided all the blocks within the range into dozens of disorderly pieces every half a day. There was an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening.
During this hour, the large maze would fail and the fog would recede. When the fog gushed out again, a new maze would be created. The information collected in the past half a day would be completely invalid. This was also why Vader couldn't find Wei Duoliya and the others.
Unless more than 100,000 people were brought to fill all the blocks, they would have to face a lucky draw probability of one in ten. The army couldn't march too fast in the fog, so the efficiency of the army was even lower than expected.
But last night, Vader had a goal. He didn't need to be confused anymore. The reason for everything was the bloodline reaction in Rock Street.
Wei Duoliya was there. Although he didn't know why she canceled the cover of the curse vessel's bloodline, there was no doubt that it helped Vader a lot. When the fog dissipated at dawn, he would lead his personal guards straight to Rock Street.
"Your Highness, although I don't know what Wei Duoliya and Ponte are up to, they must have prepared something since they dared to expose their position. It should be a trap."
Ferde Erick's face was solemn. He looked at the young man who was looking out of the window with his back to him.
"Please stay here and let me lead the troops first."
The blond man asked for Solitude's order, but the young man with his back to him didn't respond. Vader looked out of the window silently, as if he didn't hear Ferde's request.
"Ferde, why do you think my mother died?"
"Eh? Uh, it's those nobles … "
The blond knight was stunned by the irrelevant answer. He blinked his eyes in confusion and said his answer. Vader shook his head.
"No, those nobles are just appearances. The real reason is the difference."
"Difference?"
"Yes."
The young man turned around and explained faintly,
"The difference in geography, race, country, religion, all these differences make people afraid. It is like a fence between people. It stands tall and keeps people in captivity, but it also makes the people in the fence have a stronger sense of selfishness. They look at everything outside angrily."
"No matter what your identity is, no matter what you've done, once you're discovered to be different, you'll receive special treatment if you're lucky, and you'll be persecuted if you're lucky. My mother died because of this."
"Did I avenge her in this war? In other people's eyes, it's already revenge. Those nobles who forced her to leave are all dead, but I know that I haven't. At least, I haven't completed it yet! "
"My mother died from an infectious disease, from the coercion of the nobles, and even more so from the discrimination and resistance born from the difference in ideas. Those are my real enemies, and they are what I need to break. In order to break these high walls, there are too many things that we need to eliminate."
"It's difficult to eliminate these differences, but it's not impossible. For example, a unified empire like Ancient Austin from a thousand years ago …"
Vader looked at the dumbfounded Felder, his eyes shining brightly.
"You once asked me what my dream was. Now, I'll tell you. This is my dream! In order to realize it, I will face many difficulties, and your strength is indispensable. So … don't say such silly things like abandoning a pawn. "
The prince smiled faintly and rejected Felder's request, but the golden-haired knight was still in shock.
Although Felder had always known that he was following a mighty lord, he didn't expect Vader's ambition to be so great that he even wanted to rebuild a unified empire.
But … if it was him, with his talent and the strength of the Theocracy, it might be possible!
The golden-haired knight looked at this rare genius that only appeared once in hundreds of years. He stood at attention and bowed again.
"Thank you for your appreciation. I'm willing to follow you for life, Your Highness."
"Is that so? Hehe, then it's impossible for you to go to Rock Street alone. So what if it's Wei Duoliya's trap? If you shrink back in the face of such a small risk, how can you talk about the great cause of unification? "
The young prince smiled. He didn't have a crown on his head, but at this moment, his aura had far surpassed that of a king.
"Dawn, let's march."
"Vader will definitely go, I promise."
In the Labyrinth Museum, Victoria tapped the flashing red dot on Locke Street with her finger and looked at the black-haired man who had a helpless look on his face. Ponte held his notebook in a daze and stammered for a long time before saying,
