Wizard Immortal

Chapter 407 The King's Tomb

Inside the spacious tent, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Standing before him, listening to the woman's questioning, Leon's expression darkened: "Princess Angels, we were just relieved from the front lines two days ago, and according to regulations, it's time for our rest..."

"Who made this rule?!" Angelis remained unmoved by Leon's explanation, directly ordering, "I don't care about your situation, just get to the front lines immediately!"

"Princess Angels..." Leon stood up, looked at Angels in front of him, and showed some difficulty on his face.

"I said, go right now!" Angelis spoke again, slamming her hand down hard on the table less than half a meter away from Lyon.

boom! !

Driven by spiritual power, the wooden table shattered, and wood fragments and shards scattered everywhere, directly hitting Leon's face.

Feeling the stinging pain on his face, Leon's face turned ashen, a fierce glint flashing in his eyes, but he managed to suppress it well.

However, the people beside him could no longer contain their anger and spoke up.

"What do you want to do!"

Seeing Angelus's actions, Venus stood up angrily, faint black particles flashing around her body, carrying a somewhat suppressed aura.

"Are you trying to betray me by gathering your spiritual power here?" Angelis looked at Venus with a cold expression and disdain. She stretched out one hand, as if she was about to slap Venus across the face.

However, in the end, the palm strike was not delivered; it was blocked by another broad and powerful hand.

Standing in the center of the crowd, Leon's face was ashen. He gripped Angelis's right hand, which was about to strike, and said coldly, "Since Princess Angelis wants us to set off, then we'll set off. Why bother with violence?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flung Angelis's hand away. In that instant, a flash of spiritual energy emanated from his body, startling everyone present.

"snort!"

Angelis gave Lyon a deep look, snorted coldly, and after seeing that he had agreed to go to the front line, she said no more, turned around and left without even saying goodbye.

"Damn it!!"

After a while, inside the tent, seeing Angelis leave in shock, the anger of everyone present could no longer be suppressed.

Venus's face was flushed with anger, and she looked extremely dissatisfied: "The royal family has gone too far!"

"First they sent us to the front lines, and now even a little girl can bully us!"

"This can't go on!" another person spoke up, their face also filled with suppressed anger. "It was clearly agreed beforehand that we'd have a two-week rotation of rest days, and it's only been less than three days, and we're already being sent back to the front lines. This isn't just attrition; it's practically sending us to our deaths!"

"The power of the curse on the royal tomb has grown stronger, now almost doubled, yet the royal family still hasn't reacted at all. Not only have they not sent anyone to provide support, but they've also missed out on most of the promised supplies!"

"They're clearly using us as cannon fodder, just waiting for us and the royal tomb to exhaust their strength before letting the royal family clean up the mess!"

With each word they uttered, they unleashed all the anger that had been building up over this period.

They are not fools.

The royal family's purpose in mobilizing the power of governors from all over the country to suppress the curse of the royal tomb should be obvious to even a fool after such a long period of attrition. Moreover, the people present are not fools at all.

It's impossible for someone in such a high position, or even a spiritualist, to have survived to this day without some cunning and wisdom.

Sitting in the center of the crowd, listening to everyone's words, Leon's face was ashen, and he looked very unpleasant.

More than a month has passed, and now he is increasingly dissatisfied with the royal family, to the point of being on the verge of exploding.

This can be seen from the fact that he did not stop Venus and the others from speaking.

If it were a month or so ago, even if he was dissatisfied, he would still have stood up to stop Venus and the others from speaking, so as to avoid causing additional trouble.

His current silence speaks volumes about his attitude, reflecting his deep dissatisfaction with the royal family.

Unfortunately, despite his dissatisfaction, under the pressure of the royal family, he had no choice but to obey as long as he didn't want his family to be purged.

This is what happens when you're weaker than others.

Thinking of this, he sighed.

The royal family's power was already extremely strong, especially during the recent outbreak of the royal tombs. Because they stood by and watched, their own strength was not diminished at all.

But the foreign governors of Lyon fared much worse. In just over a month, their forces were almost halved, and the disparity in power between them and the royal family became even more pronounced.

This is why they obey despite their dissatisfaction.

During this period, there were indeed those who defied the royal orders, but while the royal power was hesitant and timid when it came to the royal tombs, it showed no mercy to these foreign governors. In just a few days, it completely wiped out those who resisted, along with their families, and they were all suppressed and subsequently became devastated.

With these precedents in mind, even though Lyon was dissatisfied, he dared not refuse the royal family's orders in the face of their intimidation.

However, refusing the royal order would lead to certain death, but going to the front lines to fight the curse of the royal tombs was also a path with no hope in sight.

Thinking of all this, Lyon sighed deeply, then slowly shifted his gaze to Adir.

This place is considered his base of operations. Most of the people he brought to the capital this time are stationed here, and Adir is no exception.

After all, this place is still near the royal tomb, not too far from the curse. Having an awakened one as a guard is necessary to ensure his safety.

"Sim, what are your thoughts on the royal order?"

He rubbed his forehead, looked at Adir in front of him, and asked, his brows furrowed in a somewhat gloomy expression.

The reason for asking Adir first was naturally to show respect.

Adir was, after all, an "Awakener," and among this group, he was the strongest in terms of strength alone. Even though he wasn't very old, he still had a certain amount of influence.

Hearing the voice, Adir turned around, his eyes bright and clear: "The royal order has been issued, and we have no right to refuse, that much is certain."

Lyon nodded silently, agreeing with this point.

"However, it can't continue like this," Adir continued, pausing for a moment before continuing, "I don't know if it's just my imagination, but I have a feeling that this royal tomb is not as simple as it appears."

"What?" Leon was taken aback, somewhat confused. "What do you mean?"

"The power of this royal tomb is probably far greater than it is now." Adir stood up slightly, glanced around at everyone present, and spoke softly, immediately causing everyone present to change color.
