Chapter 1105 - 654: Not Born Noble, But Made Noble by the Masses
Treating this kind of seemingly strong person, but whose strength is not that sufficient and can only impact middle and lower-level forces, he is not that cautious.
It’s best if she can comply, but if she insists, let her be, after all, Sage is reasonable.
His reasoning, once spoken, is basically unbearable for anyone.
"A trip will solve the problem... Moriah, is there a good fishing spot here?" asked Sage.
"There actually is."
Moriah smiled and said, "Right beside the Hyrule Palace, there’s a big lake, I saw quite a few fish jumping there. Sage, there’s also a nice throne at the palace, do you want to see it? I was planning to bring it back for you after this battle is over."
"A throne, huh... there hasn’t been a shortage of those lately, let’s see the quality, rest for the night, and set off tomorrow."
Sage laughed and shouted outside the tent, "Everyone, drink heartily tonight! Although this is a victory of mine alone, as your leader, I allow you to share my glory!"
"Oh!!"
The tent village outside erupted in enthusiastic cheers, Sivier silently withdrew into darkness but immediately turned to look at the stormy darkness, where numerous lights and brightness were emerging.
"Saintess..." Heinrich said deeply, "If you can’t bear it, then I can..."
"No, Heinrich, this is my work."
Determination showed in Sivier’s eyes, "Whether it’s a revolt or blame, even if I carry the curses of all the people of Hyrule, I will save this country! No, I should say, if sacrificing just myself can save this place, that’s the best outcome."
In her eyes, Pirates are still chaotic and vile figures, truly not trustworthy.
But among these chaotic vile figures, appeared a person utterly undefeatable, easily crushing them strategically or forcefully, so even if not trustworthy, it is necessary to believe.
Besides relying on the hope that chaotic Pirates can keep their promises, there is no other way.
Because people don’t care...
It forced Sivier to resolve decisively.
"Melvin..."
Sivier tightened the flag she brought, looking in a direction, "You certainly understand!"
"Run!"
Basically, when they ordered Sivier to act, the noble led by Melvin prepared to pack and escape from the town.
After all, surrender was unsuccessful, the Radio Snail transmitted that Disaster Pirates wanted them to wash their necks clean.
Thus, they could only execute the final plan. With Sivier’s character, she should now be dead at the hands of the Pirates; next, just publicize Sivier’s killing by Pirates to stir hatred, while seize the chance to flee; they could succeed.
After all, Sivier’s reputation is there, facing those commoners’ revenge, Pirates’ focus should change.
As for the fleeing ship, they had prepared long ago, even a coated ship, diving underwater, first reaching near the Red Earth Continent, then finding ways to the other side of the world.
They have heard that, with money, anything can be achieved there.
By then, though no longer Great Nobles, buying a piece of land to continue being wealthy is still possible.
They might even come back at the right time.
However, although thoughts were good, fate sometimes does not favor.
If initially, before Sage came, they did so, success was possible.
But after Sage’s arrival, the island was already surrounded.
As Melvin led numerous nobility with carts full of packages to the hidden ship along the shore to inflate the floating bubbles, all they saw were the rope’s other end, residuals of the ships already floating on the sea.
The coating bubbles had long burst, the prepared ships shattered.
The faint sight of Fishman heads on the sea further killed their hopes of escape.
At their bewilderment, a shadow quickly descended from the sky.
Heinrich appeared as a giant harpy eagle-human before them.
Before he spoke, Melvin, eyes lit up, cried, "Heinrich! Did you escape? Sivier’s death saddened me greatly, but thank goodness you’re alive! Now I appoint you to inherit Sivier’s will, leading the people to continue resisting Disaster Pirates!"
Heinrich, hearing this, first took a deep breath, clenched his fists heavily, then resigned to something, even showing a gleam of joy.
"Heinrich! You are our last hope!"
Melvin, seeing him silent, gritted his teeth, "Wasn’t Sivier called Saintess by you? Fine! Now I proclaim her the Hyrule Saintess, the Saintess for all nationals! Isn’t this your wish? In the future, in my palace, my descendants will obey the Saintess, as long as you lead resistance, I will even create a Saintess Sect to do royal decrees for successive kings!"
Anyway, she’s dead, giving a title only, first, stabilize the person, continue attracting Disaster Pirates’ attention, then opportunities for escape might arise.
"King Melvin, I am not dead."
At that moment, a familiar voice rang from behind Heinrich, "What made you think, I would surely die?"
Melvin stiffened, looking behind Heinrich; there too, from a forest, Sivier and her elite walked out.
