"In the end, the confrontation between schemes and schemes will still be reduced to a confrontation between strength …"
Standing beside Gruul in Silence and witnessing his actions that night, Adil did not say a word on the surface, but he was secretly shaking his head in his heart.
In just half a month, Adil also understood Gruul's character.
This was a person who firmly believed that means were better than people's hearts, and was very practical, but planning was more important than practice.
For something, he liked to plan in advance, but he always overlooked the specific details. It seemed that the plan was flawless, but there would always be a lot of problems when it came to doing things.
However, Adil did not care about Gruul's character.
Whether there were flaws or not, in the end, it was just a platform for concealment, and it was nothing to Adil.
Secretly shaking his head, Adil looked at Gruul's figure in the distance, then turned around and walked towards his room.
The next day, early in the morning, when the sun slowly rose in the sky, a slight sound of horse hooves echoed in the wilderness.
Despite his unwillingness, Viscount Asri still kept his promise and personally sent 200 knights to escort Gruul to Thamu.
Gruul was naturally very satisfied with this. After asking for a batch of food, he took these people on the road, and then began his next step.
After barely getting these people, he did not immediately return to the royal capital, but chose to take a detour and walk in all directions towards the territories that had not yet been conquered by the Kingdom of Senai to find these southern lords.
The reason why he did this was to appease them, and also to ask these lords to take a stand.
Before the fall of the Southern Stronghold, most of these southern lords supported Gruul, but after the fall of the Southern Stronghold, some of these lords' attitudes suddenly became ambiguous.
Some firmly supported Gruul like in the past, while some were like Viscount Asri, and their attitudes began to waver. Some were even instructed by other forces to do something to Gruul.
After walking around like this, Gruul naturally understood the attitude of these lords.
When he officially left the Carrow area and arrived at Thamu City, there were already thousands of knights following him. They were galloping in the wilderness under Gruul's command. At a glance, they also had a lot of prestige, which surprised some forces in Thamu City.
"Gruul, my brother!"
A loud shout came from afar.
Adil looked up and saw a muscular man riding a black horse and wearing simple leather armor approaching from afar outside the city gate of Tamu City. He had a smile on his face.
"Zamr."
Looking at the burly man in the distance, Gruul also smiled. He urged his horse and walked forward with Adil.
"It's been several months." Looking at Gruul, the big man named Zamur had a look of emotion on his face: "Half a year ago, I heard that the Southern Fortress had fallen, and I was worried about your safety. Now that I've seen you, I'm finally relieved."
"Yes." Gruer also sighed with emotion. "It's been half a year."
"The Southern Fortress! One day, I will bring my men and kill my way back!"
He seemed to have thought of something, and his face was filled with anger. It seemed that he was still brooding over the fall of the Southern Stronghold.
"Come into the city with me." Zamur patted Gruul's shoulder and looked at Adil. He didn't ask who he was, but just said: "His Majesty is waiting for you inside."
"Okay." Gruul nodded, then turned to look at Adil: "Yasuo, bring your men in. I'll go into the palace first."
"Yes." Adil nodded lightly. It didn't matter to him.
After giving the order, Gruul followed Zamur in, changing the tension he had in other places.
Even though the kingdom's internal strife was serious, in this capital, under the current situation where the king was still alive, no one dared to challenge a prince in public.
What's more, at this moment, Zamur was beside Gruul.
Even though it was only a brief glance, Adil could feel that there was a huge power in Zamur's body, and it gave him a faint sense of danger.
With Adil's current strength, only an existence close to the peak of a Silver Knight could give him such a feeling.
With such an existence by his side, coupled with the fact that they were in the capital, Gruul could indeed rest assured.
He gently dismounted from the horse and handed it to the slave attendant who came over. Adil turned around and looked around.
There was a huge square in front of him. There weren't many houses around, only stables with some horses tied up.
After settling down the surrounding knights and letting Wendy and the others settle down in the surrounding hotels, Adil put down the sword in his hand and walked around casually, ready to take a good look at the appearance of this capital.
On the busy streets, there were buildings displayed all around. On the sides of the road, some foreign merchants were selling some scattered things here, attracting the attention of many local people.
After walking for a while, Adil raised his head and looked into the distance as if he had sensed something.
In a corner in the distance, a girl in a black robe with a small braid on her head was standing there in Silence, staring at him.
If that was all, it wouldn't be surprising.
After Adil entered the city, there were many people staring at him from all directions. There were men and women, old and young.
Among them, a small number might have been attracted by his unique appearance and temperament, but most of them were spies from various families.
But the girl in front of him was different.
In the distance, the girl stared at Adil, but there was a trace of anger in her eyes, as if Adil had done something wrong to her.
This kind of inexplicable emotion made Adil a little confused.
"Could it be that it was caused by the previous owner of this body?"
Turning around, Adil thought of another possibility.
But after thinking carefully for a long time, Adil still couldn't find any relevant impression of the girl from the memories of this body.
After thinking carefully for a long time, Adil finally shook his head and stopped thinking about it. Instead, he walked in the other direction.
After walking for a short while, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked ahead.
In front of him, a middle-aged man in a coarse robe with a somewhat distressed expression was walking forward. As he walked, he couldn't help but sigh, as if there was something weighing on his heart.
When Adil saw this person, a sense of familiarity welled up in his heart.
"Someone familiar?"
He looked at the middle-aged man in the distance, and after a long time, he finally confirmed that person's identity.
Someone from the Bakuru family.
He wasn't the elder of this body of Adil's, but he was also a distant member of the Bakuru family. In the past, he was in charge of the flowers and plants in the family, and could be considered to be someone the previous owner of this body was familiar with.
Looking at this person, Adil hesitated for a while, and finally chose to walk forward. He slowly followed, neither too far nor too close.
Ever since he reincarnated into this body, he had never seen this body's clansmen.
However, according to the information he had obtained previously, after the southern fortress fell and the Karlo area was occupied, this body's clan had similarly been drawn here.
Since they were in the same city, they would come into contact sooner or later, so he might as well take the initiative to take a look.
With this in mind, Adil walked forward. Step by step, he slowly followed the middle-aged man in front of him and slowly walked to the other side.
The scenery before him kept changing, and as Adil kept moving forward, the number of pedestrians on the road decreased, and the remaining people became more and more conspicuous.
Ahead, perhaps due to the change after Adil turned around, or perhaps because he was too preoccupied, the middle-aged man from the Bakuru family didn't notice Adil following behind him, and only slowly walked forward until he reached a manor.
The manor looked rather large, and the decorations outside were rather new, but the walls were a little worn out, and there were even some bloodstains that looked recent.
Outside the door, a dispute was going on, causing Adil to frown as he watched from afar.
"I don't care, no matter what, the Bakuru family must return the money today!"
A middle-aged man stood in front of the manor's door, his expression sinister and intimidating.
In front of him, a woman that Adil was somewhat familiar with was standing there, saying something in a low voice.
"Miss Celia Mu!" Looking at the woman who was speaking, the middle-aged man's expression was gloomy, and he looked a little angry. "I don't care how difficult it is for you now, but you must return the money you owe our trading company!"
"I'll give you three more days! If you don't return it by then, don't blame us for doing something bad! "
His expression was gloomy, and he looked at the woman in front of him, his face full of anger.
"How much gold does she owe you?" A voice came from the side, with bits and pieces of vibration and rhythm, causing one's heart to tremble.
