From Wild Mage to Wizard King

Dark clouds covered the entire sky, and heavy rain was falling from the sky, washing everything dark below.

"Bang!"

As a bolt of thunder flashed across the sky, the knights running against the heavy rain on the plains were also illuminated.

They quickly shuttled through the violent storm and rushed forward, and in front of them, some faint light had appeared in front of them.

Soon, the faint light became brighter and brighter, and finally, they arrived at their destination, Black Rock City.

After briefly confirming their identities, the knights led their horses and walked into the city.

On the city wall, Roland and Hela each held an umbrella and stared at the cavalry team that had just arrived.

Roland looked up at the raining sky with calm eyes.

"It's been raining heavily for three days."

Hela stretched out her right hand, and the cold rain fell on her hand drop by drop. Looking at the rain splashing on her palm, she spoke.

After returning to the material world, Roland did not waste time. After quickly understanding the overall situation, Roland immediately took people to the city where the resistance meeting was held: Black Rock City.

On the third day after Roland arrived here, the heavy rain started and has continued until now.

Roland stretched out his right hand and caught the cold rainwater.

The heavy rain came at the wrong time. If it came early, Locke could delay the start of the meeting. If it came late, the meeting might have ended.

But it happened that most of the people came, and Locke couldn't let the people who came go back first.

The heavy rain seemed to foreshadow the final outcome of the meeting.

Under the heavy rain, the entire Black Rock City seemed extremely depressing. The residents in the city seemed to have realized something in advance. Everyone was hiding in their houses and rarely going out. Only the members of the resistance army were still going out for activities.

Under the cover of heavy rain and mutual understanding, the members who went out silently avoided each other.

In this heavily raining Black Rock City, few people who go out carry umbrellas like Roland and Hela.

"This is the last one."

Roland stretched out his right hand, magic surged, knocking away the rainwater on his palm, and said calmly.

"Yes."

Hela also retracted her hand, performed a similar operation, and answered.

"This is the last person on the list for this meeting. According to Locke, if there are no surprises, the meeting will officially start tomorrow."

"Um."

Roland nodded neither happily nor sadly, holding an umbrella in hand, turned and left the city wall, and Hela followed closely behind him.

Not far away, a knight also withdrew his gaze from Roland.

Roland was fully aware of the knight's monitoring, but after all, he was a member of the neutral faction under Locke, and he was responsible for the security of the city wall. Therefore, it was also his job to monitor Roland and Hela who climbed onto the wall.

Therefore, Roland didn't pay attention to his gaze.

After returning to his camp, Roland did not do anything extra. Instead, like Hela, he lay dormant in the camp silently.

On the surface, as a resistance force, it is the most powerful independent force besides the border faction, local faction and neutral faction.

Coupled with Roland's illustrious reputation, his final choice can be said to be pivotal, enough to affect the final outcome of the meeting.

Although Roland has joined or incorporated the Border Faction, these are all private actions. Even the Border Faction is only known to the senior officials.

Therefore, in the eyes of most people, Roland still has not made a choice. Therefore, many forces are paying attention to Roland's movements.

Even the border faction, in order to avoid leaks, sent people to squat outside Roland's camp. Without knowing it, they, like other factions, were paying close attention to Roland's actions.

Roland and Hela naturally knew this very well. Therefore, after arriving here, except for necessary social activities and occasionally going to the city wall for a while, Roland and Hela stayed silently in the camp. No attitude was shown towards either party in the meeting.

Except for Locke, Roland did not give a clear answer to the solicitation from all parties.

After talking to Locke at the end of the last annihilation battle, Roland had already given up on Locke.

Although Locke is better than Eleanor, he is still too weak. As a high-ranking knight promoted through duels, Locke lacks the experience to rule and manage a large organization.

His hands are too soft and he only knows compromise and balance.

Although it is commendable to take the lead and persist in fighting the Green Wave.

If Locke was not sitting in the position of leader, Roland might win over him, but unfortunately, he is sitting in the position of leader.

The fact that he is sitting in this position is incompetent.

Locke can only be a qualified warrior, not a qualified leader.

Therefore, Roland decided to seize power through a coup.

He could see Locke's weakness. As long as he had the support of the border faction, Locke would not take action against him and would most likely acquiesce to Roland's behavior.

Of course, even if Locke wants to attack Roland, Roland is not afraid.

Therefore, when Locke tried to win over Roland, Roland clearly rejected him.

Regarding the policy of balance and neutrality that he still adheres to, Roland can only say that it is a foolish dream.

Unless Locke can wipe out the green tide with one punch now and regain the entire Dongnar, he will not be able to suppress the conflict between the border faction and the local faction.

Especially, the border faction and the local faction had conflicts over the issue of knight inheritance, and many people died.

If the policy of balance and neutrality is maintained, the rebels will sooner or later be completely torn apart by the contradictions between the two factions.

The next meeting is destined to be a meeting that determines the future of the rebels. However, it is not the debates and duels at the meeting that will determine the future, but iron and blood.

The local faction will not sit and wait for death, and the border faction will also wait for an opportunity to move. Both sides are waiting for the time when the dagger will be revealed.

A struggle that determines the future path and fate of the rebels is about to begin.

The result may be that the local faction takes full power and pulls the rebels into a conservative path, or it may be that the border faction takes full power and begins their radical offensive policy.

Is it the realization of Locke's neutral path again? Or is it a full-scale civil war within the rebels? Or is it Roland's successful coup to seize power?

Although Roland believes that the final winner will be himself.

However, before everything is settled, everything is possible.

Roland sat at the table and looked up at the heavy rain outside the window.

The two-color flag of the resistance army fluttered in the rainstorm.

The two-color flag, red for revenge and green for prosperity, was still connected together, as if the resistance army was still united under the same flag as usual.
