Chapter 1125 Capitano's Choice
It is completely different from the warmth and sweetness of the wedding night at Shao Yun Ranch, and the beautiful scenery full of peace and tranquility.
The temporary camp of the Fatui where Capitano was located was dead silent at this moment, and the air was filled with suffocating depression.
At this time, Capitano stood alone in the center of the main tent. His tall figure cast a long shadow under the dim candlelight, making him look particularly lonely.
In his hand was a secret letter sent urgently from Zhidong. The handwriting on the letter was clear:
[The Second, Fourth, and Last Executors have been dispatched to lead the Fatui advance force from Solstice to Natal immediately to assist you in seizing the Heart of the God of Fire.]
If Nata refuses to cooperate, we will take all necessary measures, regardless of the cost.
Capitano felt powerless after reading it. He knew better than anyone that behind these few short lines was a clear signal from the Queen of Winter declaring war on Nata.
With the army approaching and diplomatic offensives taking place, if Mavica is willing to voluntarily hand over the Heart of God, large-scale bloody conflicts can be avoided.
But from his understanding of the Fire Goddess, she would never give in easily.
By then, Zhidong would have no choice but to use tough measures to seize the property. As for how much sacrifice this war would cause Nata and Zhidong to make, and how many innocent people would lose their homes, it was not taken into consideration at all.
Saving the world must be put first, and everything can be sacrificed, including one's own life. The Ice God is capable of doing such a thing...
"It looks like it's time to make a decision."
Capitano recalled that a while ago, when he was taking a walk at night, he met Kong and Funchgami, and the guy named Funchgami proposed a plan of faking his death to him.
Let Mr. Shao Yun kill himself as a deterrent.
Capitano was loyal to the Ice Queen and had never had any thoughts of betrayal, but at this moment, the moral principles in his heart were constantly pulling him apart.
He had witnessed with his own eyes how the people of Nata fought bloody battles to protect their homeland, and he could not bear to see this land once again being ravaged by war because of the fight for the Heart of God.
After a long silence, Capitano finally clenched his fists, a look of determination flashing in his eyes. He carefully put the secret letter away, stood up and walked out of the tent.
Go talk to Ye Shen about it, then talk to Kong Shan.
……
Late at night, in front of the secret source mechanism that awakened the Night God's consciousness for the first time.
Capitano stood in front of the secret source mechanism, suppressed the chaotic thoughts in his mind, and followed the same operation as last time he awakened the consciousness of the Night God, slowly injecting a huge amount of energy into the earth veins under his feet.
A mysterious power fluctuation suddenly filled the originally silent space.
Ye Shen's consciousness was in a chaotic dormant state. When this huge and familiar energy came, she was instantly awakened and sensed the source of the energy.
Ye Shen's consciousness followed the energy trajectory and appeared again on the secret source mechanism where he was attached last time.
As soon as it attached to the secret source mechanism, Ye Shen's consciousness captured Capitano's breath.
"Mr. Capitano, what do you want from me?" The ethereal voice of the Night God came through the secret source mechanism.
Capitano was extremely confused at the moment, with the contents of the secret letter from Zhidong and the fake death plan proposed by Yuanshang repeatedly echoing in his mind.
In response to Ye Shen's questioning, he somehow took out the letter from his arms and handed it to the secret source mechanism.
"This is a letter from the Queen of Winter. Please take a look at its contents..."
When Ye Shen heard the words "read the letter", he fell into a brief silence, and then a helpless response came:
"Well... Captain, I admit that you are in a bad mood and your judgment may be a little impaired, but do you think I can see it?"
I am now just a consciousness attached to the existence of an institution. I have no entity and no eyes. How can I "see" the contents of the letter?
At the moment, Capitano was so worried that his mind was in a mess and he didn't pay attention to this problem.
"Oh, sorry... I wasn't thoughtful enough."
"The letter says that the Queen of Winter has sent the Doctor, the servant, and the Young Master to lead the Fatui advance force to support me. Their only goal is to seize the Heart of the God of Fire."
"The Queen also emphasized in the letter that no matter the cost, no sacrifices will be made, simply to secure the Heart of God... There is no room for negotiation."
Ye Shen's consciousness transmitted the word "silence" through the halo of the secret source mechanism. After a moment, the ethereal voice sounded again.
"So, this is a signal for Winter to go to war with Nata?"
Ye Shen naturally understood the weight behind the words "at all costs"...
Then, Night God's consciousness added: "Based on my understanding of Mavica and all the Nata people, their inherent pride will never allow them to give up something like the Heart of God, a symbol of Nata's will!"
"I'm afraid this battle cannot be avoided."
Capitano sighed heavily upon hearing this.
"I know the Ice Queen. She always respects the reasonable requests of the Executors, but seizing the Heart of God is her death order, and no one can disobey."
"Before, I could use Nata's crisis in the abyss as a delaying tactic, but now... the reinforcement team is ready to go, and I can no longer find any reason to delay."
He paused and changed the subject.
"If I died, perhaps there would be some changes in Zhidong's plan... But now, as long as I am alive, I must carry out the Queen's orders."
"But Nata has already sacrificed too much to fight the Abyss. The warriors fought bloody battles and finally repelled the Abyss and saved the world, but now they have to face civil war among humans."
"Those Natar warriors who survived the Abyss are now facing death at the hands of humans... and all for saving the world. How ironic."
Ye Shen's consciousness caught the compassion and helplessness in Capitano's tone.
After a moment of silence, an ethereal voice slowly sounded with apology.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Capitano. Because of Mr. Shao Yun's intervention, your plan to merge with the Nata vein ultimately failed."
She paused and said regretfully, "As you said, if your plan succeeds, the Fatui might take some time to recover before putting the matter of seizing the Heart of the God of Fire on the agenda."
"That way, Nata will have more time to recover and won't have to face a new crisis right after experiencing the Abyss War like he does now."
When Capitano heard this, he just shook his head slightly, without any regret on his face for the failure of the past plan.
At this moment, he was only thinking about how to prevent Nata from getting caught up in the war again, and he no longer cared about whether his previous plan was successful.
"This matter has passed. There is no need to mention it again."
"The most important thing right now isn't to dwell on past plans, but my colleagues... the Doctor, the servants, and the Young Master. They might soon lead the Fatui to Nata and take action here!"
"I must find a way to stop this senseless sacrifice."
After hearing Capitano's anxious words, Ye Shen's consciousness couldn't help but misunderstand his intentions.
In Ye Shen's opinion, Capitano came to him late at night and was so worried about Nata's fate. It was most likely that he wanted to use his connection with Nata to act as a middleman and discuss countermeasures with Mavica.
After all, the last time we worked together was in front of me, so maybe this would be more memorable?
So, Ye Shen agreed without any hesitation.
"I understand. Do you need me to be your contact and help you discuss with Mavica how to deal with the Fatui's attack?"
"That's no problem. I can try to contact Mavica right away."
However, Capitano shook his head.
His real hope lies in the plan proposed by Yuan Shang before, in the cooperation with the Abyss Cult, or at least in the consultation with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Kanriya, "Kong".
"No, Miss Yashin, you misunderstood me."
Capitano slowly asked, "I'd like to ask, have you ever cooperated with the Abyss Cult?"
"Or, do you know anyone from the Abyss Cult, especially the Crown Prince of Kanria, Kong?"
When Ye Shen heard Capitano's question, his consciousness was instantly struck by lightning. The halo on the surface of the secret source mechanism flickered violently several times, as if the shock in his heart was taking shape.
Cooperating with the Abyss Cult? How did he know? This was a matter of life and death. Once discovered by Heaven's Law or the Reign of Death, not only would he be doomed, but the entire Nata might be implicated.
"No, I didn't! Don't talk nonsense!" Ye Shen's consciousness came up with a classic series of three denials.
"Captain, why do you have such an idea? This is completely nonsense!"
Capitano went straight to the point and directly presented the evidence he had.
"I met His Royal Highness the Prince, and Yuan Shang who was beside him. His subordinate Yuan Shang said that they were using it to implement Kan Ruiya's plan to restore the country."
"I think, as the manager of the Nata vein, you should know something."
When Ye Shen's consciousness heard the information "Yuan Shang said", the halo of the secret source mechanism also calmed down.
So that's how it is. No wonder Capitano knew about this. Since he revealed it himself, there is no point in denying it.
"Well, since you already know, I won't beat around the bush. It's true. I'm collaborating with the Abyss Cult and helping them leverage the power of the Night God's land to advance their restoration plan."
"I'm sure you understand that this matter is extremely risky. To avoid being discovered by the Death Reign or Heavenly Justice, it must be kept strictly confidential and absolutely not disclosed! If word gets out, the consequences will be disastrous."
After saying this, Night God suddenly realized that Capitano should be most concerned about the Fatui's upcoming attack on Nata, so why would he suddenly ask about his cooperation with the Cult of the Abyss?
"However, does this matter have anything to do with what you said before about the Fatui attacking Nata?"
"Are you thinking of using the power of the Abyss Cult to stop your colleagues? This is too absurd!"
Ye Shen's doubts are not unreasonable. The Abyss Cult has always regarded the Law of Heaven and the forces that follow the Law of Heaven as enemies. Although the Fatui are against the Law of Heaven on the surface, they are essentially the power of the human camp. There is almost no possibility of cooperation between the two.
Capitano spoke up to correct Ye Shen's misunderstanding.
"I'm not seeking to leverage the power of the Abyss Cult, but rather to use my own 'death' to give Nata some breathing space."
