Chapter 2196 Edmund
A lot of people nodded. “Yeah. If that madman gets the sword, he’s going to be the biggest threat.”
“True. The top ten organizations in Erudia might be working with us, but they have their own plans as well. If they get their hands on the sword, it’ll spell doom for a lot of people. We might not even be able to stop them.”
DG Libra said, “The sword is power itself. It’ll be the protector of the people if it ended in the right hands. On the contrary, it’ll turn into the Grim Reaper’s scythe in the wrong hands.
The other divine generals retorted, “But that’s just your brand of justice. We don’t know if Donald will be a threat if he gets the sword. He might just be the one who can make the country prosper.”
“Even so, that doesn’t dismiss the fact that he’s dangerous. We don’t know what he’ll do, so we’re gonna prevent it by keeping the sword away from him.”
Edmund looked at them and agreed, “That’s right. We have to get the sword. That’s the best way.”
Four divine generals agreed, “Yes. We have to control the sword, or nobody will be safe.”
Kirin, Azure Dragon, Robed Slayer, and the others couldn’t believe what they were hearing. It was obvious Edmund wanted to take the sword for himself, but he actually justified it by making everyone else the villain.
However, they couldn’t deny that it was a good idea for Edmund to possess the sword. At least he wouldn’t kill the people. On top of that, he could use it to protect Erudia.
That was why they kept quiet to show their support for Edmund’s plan.
“But sir, there are too many people out there. Can we really win this fight?” Kirin asked.
“Yeah. Donald alone is already a big problem, let alone those foreigners. It’s not a sure win for us either, right?” Azure Dragon asked a sharp question.
Most of the fighters sighed as they knew Azure Dragon was right. It wasn’t a sure win. Edmund had fought Donald, and the latter didn’t even see The Cardinal Hall as a threat.
By extension, everyone else wouldn’t see them as a threat either. On top of that, a few of the most powerful fighters came out of hiding just to get the sword, and that alone reduced their chances of winning.
It wouldn’t be easy to get the sword. They’d have to have absolute power.
Edmund and the four divine generals knew that question would come up, but they already had the answer, so they smiled mysteriously at the fighters.
They explained, “You might not know this, but Mr. Edmund was forced to stop his solitary training three years ago. Before that, he was training at a certain place.”
Kirin got what they were saying a moment later, “It’s this place, isn’t it?”
Edmund nodded. “Yes. This was where I went into solitary training, but I didn’t notice the sword under the mountain then. However, I might have received some of its powers.
“My father, the divine brigadier, took me here. He probably knows Skyward Sword is here, but he didn’t tell me in case it would affect my training. The excavating team probably found the sword because the place was shaken up after I came out of my training.”
“I see.”
Everyone finally knew what happened back then.
Edmund smiled. “I’ve trained in this place for years, so I know the place better than anyone else. It’s like my second home, and I have a bigger advantage here. Even someone like Donald is not a match for me here. And with your help, I’m certain that we can get the sword in the end.”
Edmund was confident in his knowledge about the place where he trained, so he thought he could get the sword without any trouble.
But then his eyes glinted cruelly. “And people like Zoey will show up as well. I want you to kill them all when you see them.”
