C12 Dead

"The mob... are all rioters."

Adonijah's face was gloomy. "They are stupid and do not distinguish right from wrong. Each and every one of them was bewitched by Solomon."

"That's right..."

Joab, who was beside him, also sighed. "They are all too young. He did not understand that there were no Gods in Israel. In order to ensure his own rights, Zadok did not tell them the truth. You are the only one who can save Israel, Adonijah."

After hearing Joab's words, Adonijah's mood became a little better. Even his chest, which had been aching all this time, felt a little better.

Before this, he felt that the atmosphere was not right, so he immediately decided that he could not just sit and wait for death. Zadok Priest had not liked him for a long time. Moreover, Solomon did not seem to be as kind as he had always been. If he did not try to make some changes this time, he might really die.

Therefore, he rode two horses with General Joab and took a detour to arrive at Jerusalem a short time before they arrived. Joab used his identity as the Grand Marshal to mobilize part of the army to protect them as they advanced towards the temple.

"However, let these people see that you are with me, okay?"

The corner of Adonijah's mouth rose. "When I become king, they will say bad things about you. They will say that you are flattering me."

Joab shook his head. "It doesn't matter. They all know that you care about the army the most, so there's nothing strange about being with the marshal."

"More importantly..."

His tone was flat. "This means that the army supports you. Solomon is weak. This will benefit your plan later. You can attract more people to participate in your plaster ceremony. "

" No matter if you can attract people or not, this is the only way. "

Adonijah nodded. A ruthless light flashed in his eyes. "You and I both know that when Solomon becomes the king, we will lose our country."

There was no god in Israel.

This secret was no longer a secret in the highest level of Israel. It was precisely because of this that the priests would increase their strength to attack Bari's faith.

What else could it be for? There was nothing else. They were definitely trying their best to maintain their status - pushing themselves and others. If they were in this position, they would definitely do the same.

Once people discovered that the power of the priests was inferior to those infidel believers who believed in the Demon God, the status of the priests would instantly collapse.

Whether it was Adonijah or Joab, they looked down on these priests who hid the truth for the sake of stabilizing their position.

King David's original order was that after his death, the throne of Israel would be inherited by Solomon. Currently, his illness was beyond cure, and he was about to die. It seemed like Solomon was about to obtain the throne.

However, Adonijah only managed to obtain the support of one priest. And it was with the help of the position of the high priest.

Once Abiah realized that Solomon had the advantage now, it was very likely that he would betray Adonijah. Adonijah had to be the king in front of Solomon.

In this way, he could openly lead the army and kill Solomon in Jerusalem City with the crime of treason.

"Go and take Abiah's priest away first."

Adonijah pressed his aching chest and took a deep breath. He frowned and said in a low voice, "Then we go out of the city directly from the east gate. We will go through the Valley of Fallen, go to the Hidden Stone Altar, and let Abiah's priest make me the new king. "

"What about King David?"

Marshal Joab suddenly asked.

He stared at Adonijah and asked softly, "What do you plan to do with King David?"

"I cannot kill my father. The internal guards of Royal City would never accept the person who killed King David as their new king. "

Adonijah said without hesitation, "Find someone to kill him for me. I will kill him and avenge the late king. "

... "Alright."

After a long silence, Marshal Joab slowly nodded.

His eyes lost the last trace of hesitation, filled with determination.

At the same time, a new line of words flashed across Solomon's eyes before he even returned to Jerusalem.

[Reward: Legendary Level 3, Demon God Awakening Ritual (once) * 1]

... "This mission is interesting."

When Solomon saw the mission target, he almost laughed out loud.

I can kill you without using any weapons. This oath was similar to Liu Bang killing Han Xin.

"But, this' all 'oath..."

Solomon pondered for a moment, then understood, "So that's how it is. Does it count as the oath King David made to them?"

If that was the case, he would need to ask what kind of oath King David had made... It just so happens that I can avoid offending King David.

However, Adonijah's choice...

"How foolish."

Solomon shook his head in disappointment.

Adonijah's attainment was too poor.

If he and Adonijah were to have an exchange, Solomon would never make himself king. This meant that Adonijah knew nothing about Jerusalem. He had bet everything on the slowness of everyone's reaction.

If it was Solomon, he would directly enter King David's room with Joab. After that, he would immediately kill King David and the maids in his room. He would arrest Solomon's mother, Bathsheba, and cut off her tongue. He would then immediately announce the news of Bathsheba assassinating King David and Solomon, and that he would be crowned as king. He would then ask Joab to testify for him.

After that, he brought the whole army and killed Solomon outside the city, then returned with the heads of Solomon and Zadok Priest. He publicly executed Bathsheba. At the same time, he made himself king in the name of "avenging King David." Then, he went back to remove the armor of the Royal City's inner guards.

Although this might leave him with a bad reputation, it would also cause some hidden dangers for his rule... But if this was the case, he would be able to grasp the rhythm of everything. As long as Adonijah didn't make a mistake, Solomon would have no chance of survival.

If it was a good plan, he would first make a trip to King David's place and then immediately go to the barracks. It was a good idea to ask Joab to fake the decree and send troops out of the city to kill Solomon. Solomon originally thought that with Adonijah's ruthless personality, he would probably choose this path.

In the end, he didn't expect that Adonijah wouldn't even dare to kill him.

The only advantage he had was to attack first, but he didn't know that he had to be flexible enough to make himself king first and bury himself alive.

At this point, Solomon had seen through the fatal flaw of Adonijah's personality. Although he was ruthless, he was only cruel to others. Whenever it involved his own interests, he would become hesitant.

"Trash that won't make a big deal."

Solomon cut to the chase and relaxed slightly.

Adonijah was nothing to worry about.

The key factor in deciding the outcome of the plan should be whether he was good in quality and action, and not whether the enemy was stupid or not. If he did not even have the confidence to believe in himself, what right did he have to be king?

Solomon did not hesitate anymore. After bidding farewell to Nome and his daughter, he turned around and mounted the horse. He ran to the middle of the group and quickly said to Zadok Priest, "Just now, God told me that Adonijah wanted to rebel against father, and father did not know about it. I have to go back first and report to King David! "

"Don't worry, Solomon. Putting aside the fact that you might have fallen asleep, even if Adonijah really wants to make himself king, so what?"

Zadok Priest could not help laughing when he heard that. He said slowly, "King David said that the future throne of Israel will be yours! What should be yours, he will be yours. No one can take it, and Adonijah can't take it either..."

"But if Adonijah really makes himself king, I will accept King David's opinion and call him king. That will be destroying the tradition of Israel. "

Solomon had a solemn and anxious expression on his face. "If that's the case, how can the people believe in the priest? How can they believe the king's words? "

What a good child.

Zadok Priest nodded his head in satisfaction.

"If I let you stay here, you won't be able to rest easy either. You can go back now. I'll watch over the motorcade for you. "

Old priest said in a relaxed manner, "When we go back, I will report all the details of the hunt to King David. He will be proud of you. "

"Thank you, Zadok Priest."

Solomon nodded his head in gratitude. His legs suddenly sped up as he rushed forward. Along the way, he did not forget to greet the warriors who were travelling with him.

Zadok Priest smiled and shook his head. "This child..."

He did not panic and continued to slowly move forward with the convoy.

It was not until an hour later that a panicked messenger rushed over with a prophet's wooden staff.

"Adonijah rebelled. The prophet summoned His Highness Solomon back to Jerusalem in a hurry!"

The messenger had just seen the carriage when he raised the messenger's wooden staff and announced loudly, "Adonijah rebelled! His Highness requests to return to Jerusalem immediately!"

... "What?"

Zadok Priest was stunned.
