In the spacious tent, it was so quiet that one would be able to hear a pin drop.
In front of him, hearing the woman's question, Leon's expression turned ugly, "Princess Angus, we were just replaced from the frontline two days ago. According to the rules, we should be taking turns to rest now …"
"Who set the rules!" Angus was completely unmoved by Leon's explanation. She ordered, "I don't care what's going on with you guys, just go to the frontline immediately!"
"Princess Angis …" Leon stood up, looked at Angis who was in front of him, and revealed a somewhat difficult expression on his face.
"I said, go to the frontline immediately!" Angus spoke again. She slammed her palm onto the table that was less than half a meter away from Leon.
Bang!!
Under the influence of spiritual power, the wooden table directly exploded. The wooden dregs and shards flew out and landed on Leon's face.
Seeing this, Leon's face turned green. Ruthlessness flashed in his eyes, but he managed to suppress it.
On the other hand, the people beside him couldn't hold back their anger anymore.
"What are you doing!"
Seeing Angus's actions, Venus stood up angrily. Faint black particles flashed across her body, and she gave off an oppressive aura.
"Gathering spiritual power against me here, are you trying to betray us?" Angus's face was cold. She looked at Venus with disdain. She stretched out her hand, looking like she was going to slap Venus's face.
But in the end, she didn't manage to slap Venus. It was blocked by another strong hand.
Standing in the middle of everyone, Leon's face turned green. He held onto Angus's right hand and said coldly, "Since Princess Angus wants us to go, then let's go. Why do we need to fight?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he flung Angela's hand away. At that moment, a spiritual energy reaction flashed across his body, shocking everyone present.
"Humph!"
Angus looked at Leon deeply and snorted. Seeing that he agreed to go to the frontline, she didn't say anything else and left without saying anything.
"Damn it!!"
After a while, everyone in the tent could no longer suppress their anger when they saw Angus leave in shock.
Venus's face was filled with anger, and he seemed extremely dissatisfied. "The royal family has gone too far!"
"First, he sent us to the frontline, and now, even a little girl can bully us!"
"This can't go on!" Another person opened his mouth, and his face was also filled with suppressed anger. "It was clearly agreed that we would take turns to rest every half a month. It hasn't even been three days, and you want us to go to the frontline again. This is no longer a waste of energy, but clearly sending us to our deaths!"
"The power of the curse of the King's Tomb is getting stronger and stronger. Now, it's almost more than half as strong, but the royal family still hasn't responded at all. Not only did they not send anyone to support us, they're even missing more than half of the supplies that they promised beforehand!"
"They're clearly using us as cannon fodder. They're waiting for us and the King's Tomb to run out of power before letting the royal family clean up the mess!"
Everyone's words poured out all the rage that they'd accumulated during this period of time.
They were not fools.
Mobilizing the power of the various governors to suppress the curse of the King's Tomb. Even a fool would be able to sense the royal family's goal after such a long period of time, not to mention that the people present were not fools.
It was impossible for them, who were of high status and were even psychics, to be able to survive until now without some scheming and wisdom.
Sitting in the middle of the crowd and listening to everyone's words, Leon's face was livid, and he looked terrible.
It had been more than a month, and now, he was also becoming more and more dissatisfied with the royal family, to the point where he was on the verge of exploding.
This could be seen from the fact that he didn't stop Venus and the others from speaking.
If it was more than a month ago, even if he was dissatisfied, he would still stand up and stop Venus and the others from speaking.
Now that he was sitting there without saying a word, to a certain extent, it already represented his attitude. He was also extremely dissatisfied with the royal family.
Unfortunately, dissatisfaction was dissatisfaction, but under the pressure of the royal family, as long as he didn't want the family behind him to be punished, he had to listen obediently.
This was the result of being weaker than others.
Thinking of this, he sighed.
The royal family's power was already extremely strong, especially during the eruption of the King's Tomb during this period of time. Because they had been standing by the side and watching, their power did not decrease much.
However, Leon and the other foreign governors were in a miserable state. In just a month's time, they had lost more than half of their power, and the disparity between them and the royal family's power had become even greater.
This was also the reason why, despite their dissatisfaction, they were still obedient.
During this period of time, it wasn't that there weren't people who resisted the orders of the royal family. However, the royal family's forces were cowering in front of the King's Tomb, but they didn't show any mercy to these foreign governors. In just a few days, they completely wiped out those who resisted, and even the families behind them were suppressed. After that, they were unable to recover.
With these examples, even if Leon was dissatisfied, in the face of the royal family's deterrence, he still didn't dare to refuse their orders.
However, refusing the royal family's orders would only lead to death, but going to the frontlines to resist the curse of the King's Tomb was also a hopeless path.
Thinking of this, Leon deeply sighed, and then slowly turned his gaze to Adil.
This was his base camp. This time, the people he brought to the capital were basically all stationed here, and Adil was naturally no exception.
After all, this was near the King's Tomb, not too far from the curse. With an Awakened as a guard, he could ensure his own safety.
"Ximu, what do you think about the royal family's orders?"
Rubbing his forehead, he looked at Adil and asked with a gloomy expression.
The reason why he asked Adil first was naturally to show respect.
After all, Adil was an Awakened, and among this group of people, he was the strongest in terms of power. Even though he wasn't old, he had a certain say.
Hearing the voice, Adil turned around, his eyes bright and clear, "The royal family's orders have already been issued, and we have no right to refuse. This is for sure."
Leon silently nodded, agreeing with this point.
"However, if this goes on, it will be impossible." Adil continued. At this point, he paused for a moment before continuing, "I don't know if it's an illusion, but I keep feeling that the King's Tomb in front of us isn't as simple as it seems."
"What?" Hearing this, Leon was stunned. He was a little confused. "What do you mean?"
