Being a knight is not easy

Chapter 130 Rebirth Plan 2
Everyone in the conference hall looked at each other, obviously uneasy about Kress's decision, but no one dared to raise any objection.

They all knew that Cress was the highest person in charge of the Wizard Council's Western Headquarters, and his decisions were orders.

At the same time, in the city of Obedi, in the residence of Marquis Sonata, Robin, Elena and Chamberlain were sitting in front of a map, carefully studying the situation in the city.

"After Acton was captured, the influence of the Wizard Council really began to shrink." Chamberlain pointed to several marks on the map and said, "The city defense forces have successfully surrounded several of their important strongholds, but there are still some places we are not sure are safe."

Robin nodded, his eyes solemn. "The Wizard Council won't sit still and wait for death. They will definitely fight back. We must be careful, especially those Wizard Council members hiding in the dark."

Elina frowned and whispered, "I always feel that things won't be that simple. The Wizard Council has been operating in Obedi City for many years. It's impossible that they only have these open forces. They must have a backup plan."

Robin pondered for a moment, then said, "Chamberlain, continue to monitor the movements within the city, especially those of the nobles and merchants. The Wizard Council is likely to retaliate through them. Elina, come with me to interrogate Acton and see if we can dig out more information from him."

Chamberlain and Alina nodded in agreement.

At this moment, a guard hurried into the room and said nervously, "Lord Allen, something bad has happened! A riot has suddenly broken out in the east city market. A large number of civilians and soldiers are clashing, and the situation is out of control!"

Robin's brow furrowed instantly: "Riot? What's going on?"

The guard gasped and said, "It is said that someone spread rumors that the city defense forces killed innocent people when arresting members of the Wizard Council. As a result, the civilians became angry and began to attack the soldiers!"

Robin's expression instantly turned serious. "This is a counterattack from the Wizarding Council! They want to distract us by creating chaos!"

Elina stood up quickly, her tone filled with anxiety: "We must control the situation immediately, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!"

Robin nodded and quickly gave the order: "Chamberlain, take your men to support the city defense forces and try to quell the riot. Elena, you and I will go interrogate Acton. We must dig out the Wizard Council's next plan from him as soon as possible!"

Everyone acted quickly, and the situation in Obeidi City became more tense.

Inside the interrogation room, dim lights cast shadows on the cold stone walls, and an oppressive atmosphere permeates the air.

Acton was locked firmly in an iron chair, with his hands and feet bound with specially made magic-proof shackles, preventing him from casting any magic.

There was still blood at the corner of his mouth and his face was obviously bruised, but his eyes still flashed with a cold light.

Robin and Elena stood before him, their eyes stern.

Robin held a document in his hand, which recorded part of the Wizard Council's action plan, which was compiled from other captives.

Elina clutched a dagger, the blade gleaming coldly in the light. "Acton, your plot has been exposed," Robin said coldly. "Now, you have two choices: either cooperate and tell us the Wizard Council's full plan; or... we'll use some unfriendly means to force you to speak."

Acton raised his head and sneered, his voice hoarse and full of sarcasm. "You bastard, you think that by capturing me, you can stop the Wizarding Council? How naive. You have no idea what you are facing."

Elina frowned slightly, and gently turned the dagger in her hand, bringing the blade close to Acton's cheek: "Acton, don't think we dare not attack you. You are in no position to be arrogant."

Acton's eyes swept over Elina, a sarcastic smile curling up at the corner of his mouth. "Little girl, do you think you can scare me with a knife? The Wizard Council's plan has already been launched. Even if you kill me, it won't change anything. Obedi City... no, the entire kingdom will be plunged into chaos. And you are just ants in this storm."

Robin's eyes turned cold. He took a step forward, grabbed Acton's collar, and pulled him close to him. "Acton, don't think we will be scared by your words. No matter how big the Wizard Council's conspiracy is, it will eventually be crushed. And if you don't want to suffer more, you'd better confess honestly."

Acton's laughter grew even more reckless, even tinged with madness. "You bastard, you think you've won? Let me tell you, you only caught a 'small fry' like me. You can't even touch the true power! Lord Cress must have activated the 'Rebirth Plan,' and Obeidi City will soon be plunged into chaos. By then, you won't even be able to protect yourselves, and you still want to stop us?"

"Rebirth Plan?" Robin frowned, feeling a sense of unease. He loosened Acton's collar and turned to look at Elena. "Have you heard of this plan?"

Elina shook her head, her face solemn: "No, but judging from Acton's tone, this is obviously an extremely dangerous plan."

Acton's laughter gradually died down, and a hint of smugness lingered in his eyes. "You realize this too late now. Once the 'Rebirth Plan' is launched, the entire city of Obeidi will become our chessboard. Civilians, nobles, soldiers... everyone will become pawns, and you are merely obstacles on the chessboard that will soon be cleared."

Robin clenched his fists tightly, thinking quickly of a countermeasure.

Acton's words were arrogant, but they weren't necessarily empty boasting. The Wizard Council had been able to lurk in Obedi City for so many years, so they must have some unfathomable hidden agenda.

"Acton, what exactly is this 'rebirth plan' you're talking about?" Robin asked in a deep voice, with a hint of oppression in his tone.

Acton sneered and closed his eyes, obviously not intending to speak again.

Seeing this, Elina slightly exerted force on the dagger in her hand, and the blade cut a shallow bloody mark on Acton's cheek: "Acton, don't think that silence can protect you. We have enough means to make you speak."

Acton still had his eyes closed, but a sarcastic smile played at the corner of his mouth. "You can torture me, even kill me. But you will never be able to stop the 'Rebirth Plan'. Soon, you will see with your own eyes what true despair is."

A cold glint flashed in Robin's eyes. It was no use pressing Acton any further. He turned to Elena and whispered, "Lock him up first and keep him under strict guard. We must immediately go to Marquis Sonata to discuss countermeasures."

Elina nodded, sheathed her dagger, and glanced at Acton coldly: "You'd better pray that your 'rebirth plan' doesn't succeed, otherwise, you will be more miserable than you are now."

Acton still had his eyes closed, as if he didn't care about Elina's threat at all.
