492: What exactly should we prepare?

Chapter 491: What exactly needs to be prepared?

"Take him away."

Looking at General Martin's thought-provoking expression, combined with the 'recent experience' on his identity information, Dick immediately knew what the old general was planning.

How could a fool be in his position? He must have countless schemes in his mind.

Putting everything else aside, Dick didn't believe the statement about being responsible for his soldiers.

General Martin merely wanted to use this opportunity to use his punishment as leverage for political negotiation with Luca III, increasing the probability of his great-granddaughter becoming the Empress!

Isurna could detect lies, and she immediately understood General Martin's meaning, so she said in a deep voice, "I will contact His Majesty now..."

As expected, after seeing Luca III's holographic projection, General Martin, who had just had a 'no room for negotiation' expression, immediately became 'approachable'.

The negotiation was very simple, it couldn't even be called a negotiation.

General Martin just gave Luca III a brief report, and then Dick was acquitted on the spot, while most of the conversation was 'casual chat' between the monarch and the subject.

From the beginning, General Martin had no intention of imprisoning Dick in the military jail; even as the head of an army, it would be difficult for him to do so.

After all, even if it was justified, General Martin had to consider Luca III's reputation, and even if he did arrest him, he couldn't interrogate him, he could only treat him well first.

So in reality, General Martin was just urging Isurna, urging her to contact His Majesty.

"Hehe, my great-granddaughter Ivanka just had her 18th birthday the day before yesterday, and His Majesty's greeting card has made her happy ever since!"

"Oh, that's great..."

"Your Majesty, you say Ivanka is also at the age to be married, but she keeps clamoring every day that she wants to marry you, it's really giving me a headache."

"Yes... that is quite a headache..."

Even through the holographic projection, all the senior military officers around could see that Luca III was somewhat embarrassed; he seemed reluctant to talk about Ivanka.

The reason was simple: General Martin was a giant man two and a half meters tall, with a very large frame and a fierce, rugged face, which was an excellent inheritance of the Louis family.

But unfortunately, both men and women of the Louis family were like this, and Ivanka, whom General Martin mentioned, was a muscular strong woman over two meters tall.

Her voice was like thunder, and if she sat down with a plop, she could collapse a solid wood chair. All the men in the Royal Capital changed color upon hearing about her.

"Just recently, Empress Dianna was assassinated and died, Your Majesty, why don't I arrange a meeting for Ivanka and you..."

"Cough cough cough, according to the previous agreement, I will marry another sister of Dianna who has just come of age!"

Although Luca III was not fond of beauty and focused entirely on his grand ambitions, no matter what... he was still a man with normal aesthetics.

Dianna and her sisters were all stunning beauties, and they happened to come from the family of the founding Grand Duke, making them perfect to be married as Empress.

Seeing Luca III's polite refusal, General Martin brought up Dick again, and the monarch and subject bickered back and forth.

Finally, Luca III agreed to have dinner with Ivanka after some time, and only then did General Martin nod in satisfaction, ending the conversation.

Originally, the Louis family did not have high power or prominent status, merely being a mid-tier Earl family.

But in recent years, General Martin appeared, an 81st-level Swordsman, and this was the real reason Luca III showed respect.

No matter the profession, anyone above level 80 is definitely a powerhouse, a honored guest in the Central Region countries, let alone a combat profession like Swordsman.

"Everyone, disperse. Tomorrow isn't Sunday, get some rest..."

The matter was resolved, and General Martin immediately dispersed the onlookers, intending to go back and continue his drinking session, and also relieve himself.

But before leaving, General Martin glanced at Dick again, or more accurately, at the sheathless sword at his waist.

"What a good sword. If you had slashed down just now, you should have been able to cleave the sky and the earth, right?"

Hearing this, Dick chuckled and shook his head, "How could that be? General, you think too highly of me..."

It must be said that General Martin is indeed worthy of being an 81st-level Swordsman; his insight is sharp.

Compared to the imposing magic ball just now, he could tell at a glance that the sheathless sword in Dick's right hand was the real main attack.

After all, that was Dick's full-power attack that he had brewed, which could even be identified as a strategic weapon by the military camp's detection array!

"Kid, do fewer foolish things. The empire needs people now. Work hard, and your future achievements won't be lower than mine."

After saying this, General Martin turned and left.

...

A few minutes later, inside the military tent, Isurna looked at Dick with a complicated expression.

She really wanted to open her arms and rush forward to hug him, but she was afraid that Dick would be scared and have an exaggerated stress reaction again.

Everything that happened before had hurt Isurna deeply. She still remembered Dick's expression at that time; it was as if he had seen something terrifying!

Just now, Isurna had even taken the time to look in the mirror, but no matter how she looked, she found nothing unusual. To this day, she still didn't understand why Dick was scared.

And this wasn't the first time...

"Dick, you..." Isurna's voice was very soft, and her movements were cautious. "Are you okay? If you need me to leave, just say so..."

Isurna didn't question him immediately, because compared to feeling wronged, she cared more about Dick's emotions.

"I'm fine, and you don't need to leave," Before Isurna could finish speaking, Dick stepped forward and hugged her tightly. "It's all my fault..."

While apologizing, Dick quietly let his hands wander.

Dick understood Isurna's personality too well. Now that she was full of apologies and highly tolerant, it was a good opportunity to take advantage.

Like that mysterious purple meadow...

"Dick, no," Isurna squirmed, tightly gripping Dick's dishonest hand, and whispered shyly, "Mina is still watching!"

Understood, which means, it's fine as long as Mina isn't here!

Dick gave a charming evil smile and slowly released Isurna. There was no awkwardness on his face, and his eyes even showed eagerness to try.

Isurna was not angry about this; in fact, she was even a little happy inside. Now she wished Dick would bully her.

Because this precisely showed that Dick was no longer afraid of her.

"What just happened? You seemed extremely frightened."

Mina, who was beside them, also chimed in, "Yes, I've never seen Dick so scared, not even when facing Demons and vengeful spirits..."

Recalling what just happened, Dick couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine. That oppressive feeling was too terrifying, and the sense of suffocation even lingered.

Is this Isurna's Sovereign Will?

It was just the will descending, not the main body, yet Dick had the illusion of being crushed by the entire world.

No, it was even more terrifying!

But putting these feelings aside, Isurna's Sovereign Will seemed to have said something... a word of concern for him?

[Calamity is coming, in at most three days, are you... ready...]

Interpreted literally, this was undoubtedly a warning, and analyzing the tone at the time, it was clearly a reminder full of worry.

From this, it's not hard to see that Isurna's Sovereign Will is on his side; it wants to help him get through the calamity in three days.

Analyzing this, Dick couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least he didn't have to be an enemy of Isurna, which was a great thing!

What's more important is that from now on, Dick no longer needs to worry about the Sovereign Will behind Isurna and can conduct more aggressive experiments!

So, Dick simply laid his cards on the table.

"Ah, to be honest with you, I might die in three days. It's an unavoidable calamity..."

As soon as he said this, the military tent fell silent. Isurna and Mina exchanged glances.

Soon, both women realized that Dick wasn't joking, and they immediately exploded.

"What's going on? What exactly happened? The calamity in three days refers to..." Isurna asked repeatedly, her pretty face full of solemnity.

Mina, on the other hand, was terrified and anxious. She stepped forward and hugged Dick, saying, "No, Dick won't die. I will definitely protect you, just like you protected me before..."

Hearing this, Dick rubbed Mina's head and sighed helplessly.

That was a terrifying calamity involving the Lord. Mina's shield couldn't withstand it, unless... the Sovereign Will behind Isurna took action.

Thinking of this, Dick suddenly realized another problem.

It seems the Sovereign Will residing in Isurna alone is not enough to withstand the calamity, otherwise it wouldn't need to descend to remind him.

After all, what exactly is the 'preparation' it mentioned?

Dick boldly guessed that the so-called preparation should be to complete The Last Confession, but what exactly it is remains unknown.

Riddles, all riddles!

Dick couldn't help but sigh again. Why couldn't Isurna's Sovereign Will say more, explain things more clearly...

But it doesn't matter, just ask directly, discuss it directly with Isurna.

Dick didn't plan to hide things anymore. Except for the existence of the System, everything else could be revealed honestly!

However, the most important thing now is that Mina should leave.
