"Nagata, can you tell me, as a young general with a bright future in the Empire, why did you rebel?”Arthur whispered into her ear.
The heat coming from her ears made Nagata tremble, and she felt a faint sense of humiliation.
"Cut the crap. If you want to kill or cut me, do as you please!”Nagata closed her eyes. Although she was in despair, she had already prepared herself for the worst since the day of the incident.
"Are you sure it's worth it to die because of these guys?”Arthur pointed at the bandits he had killed.
Najeta froze and didn't say anything. After a few days of interaction, she realized that the bandits who joined the Revolutionary Army were still bandits, no different from other bandits. However, she still believed that there were a group of great warriors in the Revolutionary Army who wanted to change this rotten empire and let the people live and work in peace.
Arthur smiled and continued," Alright, since we've worked together before, I can give you a way out.”
"What are the conditions?" Nagata opened her eyes. Although she was ready to sacrifice herself for the revolution, she couldn't help but ask Arthur.
"Surrender."
"Impossible! Do you think I will still surrender to the Empire?”She knew very well that the dynasty would not let her off easily. Rather than bearing the infamy for that tiny hope, it was better to sacrifice himself. He believed that after his death, there would be countless revolutionary people who would fight to change this rotten empire.
"Not to surrender to the Empire, but to become my subordinate.”Arthur explained.
"Hmm?" Najetta looked up in confusion. Becoming his subordinate? What did that mean?
"Alright, lead your men and leave this place first. The Revolutionary Army is here to pick you up. Don't force me to turn them into a pile of corpses.”
Arthur chuckled and recalled the Budu Spirit. He wrapped his arms around Nagata's waist and pulled the reins, calming the warhorse that was getting agitated by the sight of blood.
"Do I have any other choice?" Hearing Arthur's words, Najeta sighed. She knew that Arthur was telling the truth. If she didn't listen to Arthur, her subordinates who had followed her for many years would really turn into a pile of corpses.
" I don't think so." Arthur nodded to confirm the woman's thoughts.
Looking around at the soldiers who were worried about her, Nagata gave in. She really couldn't give up their lives.
After dealing with the remnants of the bandit army, the soldiers set off again, but this time in the opposite direction.
On a gentle slope at the foot of the Fam Mountain Range.
The well-equipped soldiers surrounded the two of them in three layers.
Arthur sat on the ground with a relaxed expression. He did not feel like he was being surrounded at all. Instead, the soldiers surrounding him were nervous and sweating.
"So, have you thought about it?" Arthur asked softly.
"What's the difference between being your subordinate and being a general in the past? I'm still protecting this rotten empire.”Najetta said in disgust. It was obvious that she was extremely disappointed in the Empire.
" Of course there's a difference." Arthur did not explain further. Instead, he asked Nagata a question." You decided to join the Revolutionary Army because you want the ordinary people to live a good life, right?"”
"That's right, this empire has completely decayed. In order to let the people live and work in peace, we must completely overthrow this empire.”Nagata said firmly with a hopeful look.
Arthur smiled when he saw her expression. He took a booklet from his horse and handed it to her.
"Look at this!"
Najetta took the book and flipped through it. At first, she scoffed, then she was skeptical. In the end, the woman's face was filled with disappointment.
The booklet recorded the situation of the Revolutionary Army in the past few years. In order to rapidly expand, the Revolutionary Army had absorbed many mountain bandits and robbers. However, these villains who joined the Revolutionary Army had not changed much. They still did some evil things that violated the heavens and reason. As long as they could complete the tasks assigned to them, the higher-ups of the Revolutionary Army would turn a blind eye. The book was very detailed, down to the exact location, time, and participants. She had no choice but to believe it.
"What do you think? Do you think such a team can build your ideal country?”Arthur asked.
Nagata lowered her head in silence.
"There are two ways to change a country. One is to destroy it from the outside and then change it. The other is to change it from the inside. Since there was no hope for the former, why not try the latter!”Arthur said meaningfully.
"What do you mean?" Hearing Arthur's words, Najetta raised her head and looked at Arthur with a scrutinizing gaze.
"What do you think?" Arthur smiled.
Could it be that this man also wanted to change the empire? No, that was impossible. His wife, Aiders, was the minister's collaborator. Changing the empire would not benefit him at all.
"If you are willing to go to a place with me alone, I will tell you something that you are very interested in.”Arthur suggested.
" Alright." Without much hesitation, Najetta agreed. Arthur's words had indeed piqued her interest, and although it seemed that her men had the upper hand, the woman knew very well that she had no right to resist Arthur.

"Look at what the Revolutionary Army has done in your eyes!”
Arthur pointed at a crack not far away on an inconspicuous mountainside in the Fam Mountains.
The air was filled with the smell of rotten eggs, and there was a faint buzzing sound. Najeta suddenly had a bad feeling. This smell…
Nagata slowly moved over, and as soon as she stuck her head out, she staggered and fell to the ground.
His eyes widened as he stared at the crack. He covered his mouth with both hands to prevent himself from vomiting.
There were piles of corpses in the crack. Except for the top layer, the rest of the corpses had long rotted. Countless flies were flying around in the crack.
There were corpses of both men and women, old and young. Their clothes were tattered. They were civilians!
In the distance, Arthur smiled as he looked at the dejected Nagata. He had already figured out all of this in order to completely crush the woman's hopes for the Revolutionaries.
Arthur walked over to Nagata after she had recovered.
"I don't deny the motive for the establishment of the Revolutionary Army, nor do I deny that many of them are fighting for the people. However, in order to develop rapidly in the past few years, the Revolutionary Army has absorbed many evil people. " I don't think such a mixed organization can accomplish your..." Arthur paused and continued under the woman's surprised gaze," And my dream, if you still want to do something for the people, I hope you can become my subordinate.”
Arthur then told them about his desire to change the empire with his identity. He naturally would not say that it was to rule the empire. In Arthur's words, he became a hero who was willing to take risks for the happiness of the people.
Najetta, who was already in despair, felt a ray of hope shining through the dark clouds above her head. It was bright and dazzling.
Finally, under Arthur's passionate gaze, Nageta nodded slowly and accepted Arthur's offer.
