"Do you think you can intimidate us?" one of the nobles sneered. "The people are disillusioned, and they will rally behind our cause! You are the ones who will be seen as the traitors to the realm!"
Xia's voice rang out, cutting through the escalating tension. "You underestimate the loyalty of the people. They have seen the sacrifices we've made to protect this kingdom. We stand united against tyranny and division, and we will not allow your deceit to take root."
General Liang stepped forward, his stance firm. "Your rhetoric may sound appealing to those blinded by ambition, but it will lead only to ruin. We are here to put an end to your schemes. The kingdom deserves leaders who seek to unite, not divide."
The nobles exchanged uneasy glances, their confidence wavering as they faced the resolute trio. Lord Zheng's expression darkened, and he stepped forward, his voice dripping with venom. "You think your words can sway anyone? We have allies, and soon, the people will rise to join us!"
Before he could continue, Lin Feng swiftly moved to intercept him, his eyes blazing with determination. "You've already lost the support of many who see your true intentions. You are nothing but a shadow seeking power for yourself."
With their resolve strengthened, Xia, Liang, and Lin Feng rallied together, ready to confront the dissenters. The tension in the air was palpable, and it was clear that a clash of ideals was inevitable.
