Chapter 354 - 129: Sudden Change and Ambush
"Miss Alisa, although you come from a Noble family, based on your actions along the way, I can feel that you are a rare true Knight, always upholding the principles of justice in your heart!"
Staring at the somewhat shaken young female Knight, Mondolo slowly rose from the stone pillar, his expression sincere.
"So, I wonder if you are willing to temporarily set aside your noble identity and see another side of the Empire with your own eyes?"
"I... I don’t know... But you can’t possibly win, you... you just don’t understand how powerful the Empire is!"
The heart of the young female Knight was already somewhat perturbed, and although she knew that the people before her were ’dangerous’ members of the Resistance Army, Mondolo’s words made her start to waver in her original beliefs.
Defying the strong to protect the weak, this was the path of justice that Alisa has always adhered to. But at this moment, it conflicted with her own identity.
"On the contrary, Miss Alisa, we are well aware of what we are facing. The Empire is indeed very strong, but it’s not as invincible as imagined."
As he mentioned this, Mondolo gently waved his hand.
"Those corrupt Nobles have long hollowed out the foundation of the Empire. Like an old Giant stricken with disease, its surface strength is merely a fog that blinds the eyes."
"I’ve seen small Noble descendants relying on their power to seize the treasures and lovers of civilian Professionals, and City Guard Armies masquerading as bandits, plundering merchants and travelers.
Even in the black market, I’ve seen border guards secretly selling city defense supplies. And the high ranks of the Empire have never noticed what happens at the lower levels."
"I know, you might want to say facing a Ninth Rank powerhouse, countless Low Rank Professionals are useless."
