Chapter 273 Black Rock Coup
"Question: If a political structure of a power breaks down and loses balance, and both factions break the rules and start to act unscrupulously, then, as a player in the game, how should you act to ensure the greatest benefit?"

"Take action. The sooner you take action, the sooner you will profit. Let the dust settle before all the power groups react. Only then can those involved in the game gain the greatest benefits."

Hela answered.

"Yes."

Standing in front of the window, Roland looked at the rebels' two-color flag in the heavy rain and nodded.

"But can we solve this before they react?"

Hela walked to Roland's side, followed Roland's gaze, looked at the two-color flag, and said hesitantly.

"They have considerable influence in the local area."

"As long as we kill all the leaders, do you think the local forces can really unite to fight against us? Besides, the worst that can happen is that the civil war will last a little longer."

Roland said calmly.

Hela nodded but said nothing.

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the door, and then a man in black armor walked into the room.

Rain was flowing all over her body. She looked up at Roland with her light blue eyes and said.

"Sir, everything is ready."

Roland turned around, took the umbrella handed to him by Hela, walked past Odin, opened the umbrella, and spoke lightly.

"Let's get started. I'll take care of Locke."

After saying that, Roland held up an umbrella and walked into the heavy rain, and Hela followed Roland.

After receiving Roland's order, Odin turned around and entered the rainstorm again.

On the walls of Black Rock City, with the sound of rapid footsteps, a large number of soldiers rushed up the walls.

"What do you want to do!"

Looking at the soldiers rushing up, the guard on the city wall stood in front of them and shouted harshly.

In front of the soldiers, a knight from the Border Region faction looked up, stared at him coldly, waved his hand, signaled the soldiers to take over the city defense, and said.

"Take over the city defense, sir. Be sensible. I don't want to fight against my own people."

The guard looked at him and shouted.

"Are you from the Border Region planning to rebel?"

The knight from the border region ignored his scolding, stared at him calmly, and spoke.

"Sir, do you want to hand over the resistance to the local faction?"

After the guard who he had been staring at glanced around, most of the guards on the city wall surrendered directly in the face of the fierce border soldiers, and a few of them even joined on the spot.

During the time the two men were talking, the soldiers sent from the border area took over the city defense very smoothly.

The guard sighed, put down his weapon and did not resist.

If he had to choose between the local faction and the border faction, as a native of Donnar, he would choose the border faction.

After quickly taking over the city defense, the soldiers sent from the border area immediately opened the city gates.

After the city gates were opened, the army that was stationed outside the city and received the news in advance also moved quickly.

Nearly a thousand elite cavalrymen rode their war horses and galloped through the city gate, while in the rear, a large number of elite soldiers were also pouring into the city.

Similar situations occurred at every gate of Black Rock City.

The border faction quickly took over all of Black Rock City's defenses and opened the city gates to let in all the prepared troops.

Due to Locke's balance policy, the military strength of the local faction in the city and the border faction was balanced, but with the influx of troops, this balance was broken.

At the same time, in the various camps of the Border Area Faction, the members of the Border Area Faction who received the news had no time to be surprised. They quickly put on their weapons and equipment, brought the elite troops in the camp, and joined the coup in the rain.

Although they had just received the news, the border area faction members did not hesitate at all after confirming that the news was correct. In their opinion, the border area faction should have done so long ago. How could they accomplish the task of fighting the green tide by working with a bunch of insects from the local faction?

Today, we will eliminate these parasites in the resistance army.

In a world covered by heavy rain, the soldiers and extraordinary people from the border area began to act despite the heavy rain.

Under the cover of heavy rain, death began to spread silently.

While the Border District was taking action, Roland once again came to Locke's residence.

"Please inform them that Roland wants to visit you for something." Roland said politely to the guard, holding an umbrella.

"it is good"

Before the guard could finish his words, Locke's voice came from inside the house.

"Just come in."

Hearing Locke's words, the guard made way and opened the door on his own initiative.

Looking at the door that was slowly opening in front of him, Roland smiled slightly, turned the Crown of Domination in his hand, and after saying a few words, he strode in.

“Hela, wait outside.”

Roland walked into the study alone, folded his umbrella and put it aside, then walked directly to the desk and sat in front of Locke.

Locke closed the book in his hand and spoke calmly.

"Your performance really surprised me."

"Just going with the flow."

Roland said calmly.

"If it's not me, there will be others."

Locke was silent for a while, then looked up at Roland, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and said.

"After doing this, you still dare to appear in front of me. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you?"

"If you wanted to do it, you would have done it a long time ago."

Roland said calmly without fear.

Once the Border Area Faction takes action, they can hide it from Locke for a while at most, but they will be discovered sooner or later.

If Locke wanted to take action, he should have stopped Roland on his way, but he didn't.

Therefore, after successfully reaching Locke's residence, Roland already knew that the outcome was set.

Hearing Roland's words, Locke sat in the chair, a little depressed, and said.

"Must we point the sword at our own people? Must we shed blood?"

"Well, you know that yourself, don't you? You're just too weak and you don't want to use the knife."

Roland nodded and said calmly.

There will definitely be bloodshed. Without using the knife, how can we eliminate the garbage within the resistance army?

Hearing Roland's answer, Locke lowered his head.

Looking at Locke, Roland sighed and spoke.

"Okay, let's stop with this boring nonsense."

"Locke, your days of leading the resistance are over. Hand over the power."

Roland turned to his left and stretched out his left hand.

"If you want it, you have to get it yourself."

Locke slowly stood up and said.

"You already know the rules."

Roland stretched out his right hand, the Grimoire appeared, and he spoke calmly.

"I knew you would say that."

Locke raised his head slightly and said.

"How many times have we fought?"

"This is the first time."

Roland shook his head and replied, and the magic book in his right hand began to flip.

"It's time to end it, Locke. The history of the resistance is over. It's our turn."
