Chapter 586 - Five Hundred And Eighty-Six: No Way Out (2/2)

Niklaus at once touched his cheek and he came up with blood. He cleared his throat at once, straightening up.

”It was just a scratch,” He said.

Eden rolled his eyes just as the others - Emerald and Judy - came into the hall.

”We cannot win this war,” Niklaus told Judy straight away, ”Not with this number of troops we have,”

”They are numerous and keep coming back. Moreover, with almost all the weapons they took from the armory, they're more equipped right now,” Eden laid out his complaint.

”That means we have to find a way to pull the others out of the palace unharmed,” Judy sighed, rubbing his temple in exhaustion.

”Aren't there secret ways out of here?” Eden queried.

”There are - ”

”Then what are you still waiting for?” Niklaus took the words right out of his mouth, ”Get the women and the kids away from here,”

”During the war with the invaders, most of those secret ways were blocked or destroyed and we hadn't had the time to repair those,” He finally explained.

”So in one word, you're trying to say my wife and children are stuck in here?” Niklaus had a look of disbelief on his face.

”I'm sorry, Niklaus, no one expected that there would be a war of this degree,” Judy apologized, the guilt stabbing his chest. It would be much better if he died alone and did not drag his friends and their loved ones into this mess.

”Fuck this, there must be a way!” Niklaus had no idea what he kicked away in his rage - he didn't care. There was no way on earth he was letting his kids and pregnant wife become collateral damage in this war - he would protect them to his last breath.

Although none of them expressed their helplessness like Niklaus, it was obvious they felt the same way.

”There's a way,” Emerald said out of nowhere and they all turned towards him.

”What?”

”Our problem at hand is they are too much for us. What if we destroy half of them, won't that give us a huge advantage?”

At once, their interest was piqued and they turned to him eagerly.

”How?”

Emerald went on to explain, ”I knew something was wrong at the bouquet when the kids accused that asshole lord of treason. There was no evidence at hand, but just to be on the safe side, I asked for help from Sakuzi and…” He checked his phone, ”They should have arrived by now,”

”What exactly is that?” Judy asked knowing whatever decision they took affects him at most as the crown prince.

”We're launching an airstrike,”
