Chapter 504 Regicide, Regicide
In the cold and damp dungeon, the girl sat on the bed and looked at the wall with some worry. On the other side of the wall was the north.
Alice has been here for ten days. She has been weak since she was a child, and her health is getting worse day by day in the extremely poor environment of the sky prison.
But what she was most worried about at this time was not her own affairs, but her father and Duke Godzilla in the north.
They had just learned the big secret in the capital, and when the rumors first started, they wanted to inform the north and tell Duke Godzilla about the elf princess.
But before they could contact him, the Royal Guards from the Royal Capital rushed into the Duke's Mansion and detained everyone.
Later, she and several other uncles were thrown into the sky prison, and they were never heard from the outside world again.
There was torture in the prison, but she barely managed to endure it as she didn't know anything about the core issues.
The situation of the other uncles is mostly similar. The one above did not get what he wanted, but his goal was achieved.
Unknown to Duke Godzilla, the rumor has spread throughout the mainland and is irreversible.
It's just that Alice has been feeling a little strange these past two days. For some reason, many more guards have been assigned to the prison where she is located, and the expressions of those guards also look very nervous.
She didn't dare to speak randomly, so she could only wait quietly and pray devoutly, hoping that nothing would happen to her father and Duke Godzilla, and that the war in the north would go smoothly.
…………
In the palace, Wallis knelt and trembled in front of the furious King Kusla.
A few days ago, when he learned that Duke Godzilla was leading troops to the Asiel Forest, King Kusla seemed to be in a good mood.
Because this is an enemy to the empire, an enemy to the mainland, and an enemy to all living beings.
There is no need for him to do anything else. After this battle, even if Duke Godzilla does not die, his reputation will plummet and he will become a sinner on the mainland.
The better news is that the Great Wall has been recovered, and he can safely send new people to command the three armies and recruit new troops to consolidate the country.
But that day, the blood moon in the sky disappeared, and the news he got was not that the Elf Princess died, and both Duke Godzilla and the Dragon Clan were harmed.
But... Duke Godzilla succeeded in killing the soul-traveling body of the Lord of the Abyss, and became a hero that attracted the attention of the entire continent.
After all the agencies are exhausted, everything is in vain.
Now Duke Godzilla is sitting on the Great Wall with a million troops, 30,000 moon wolf clan's Dawn Sword, and all the people in the north have returned home, the situation is complete.
This not only restored the power and prestige of the past, but even went beyond that, because he heard that even the elves accepted Duke Godzilla.
The matter came to an end. In the past few days, King Kusla finally began to feel panic and uneasiness, as well as the fear that he was unwilling to admit.
His brother is one of the smartest people he has ever met. Whoever spreads the rumors will not fail to tell.
He knew very well that his brother valued the Elf woman, otherwise he would not have killed the Aspect Dragon Aig for that woman, and he would not have used this matter to force his brother to go to the Aisir Forest.
But now that the plan failed, he was the one who touched his brother Ni Lin.
Therefore, King Kusla has not thought about food and drink these days, fearing that his brother will come to settle matters with him.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to worry so much. Duke Godzilla is still very loyal to the empire."
Wallis comforted him, saying that he was actually a little scared, because he personally handled this series of things.
"Yep……"
King Kusla kept nodding while pacing, "Yes, brother, he is loyal to the empire, and he will not rebel. His father once had a legacy for him, and he does not dare to act rashly."
He talked to himself as he walked, as if to convince himself, "Everyone knows that he is a man of his word. If he dares to openly rebel, his credibility will be destroyed, and the subjects of the empire will reviled him!"
After comforting himself, King Kusla still felt uneasy and extremely irritable. He wanted to go back to the harem to calm down the anger, but then he remembered that his favorite princess was no longer there, and he suddenly became even more irritable.
"Report——"
At this time, an announcement made King Kusla tremble.
The young eunuch who rushed into the palace knelt on the ground, sweating profusely and his body shaking like chaff.
"Say, what's the matter? Why are you panicking!"
King Kusla sounded angry.
"My lord, my lord, the Duke...has returned to the capital!"
The eunuch's words were somewhat awkward.
"What!?"
King Kusla was shocked. He had not received any notice from his brother, and he had not ordered him to return to the royal capital.
As the commander of the Great Wall, the other party only wanted to save the elf princess before, so why is he so unruly this time! ?
He composed himself, "Which city are you in now? How many days will it take to arrive?"
Although he didn't know why Duke Godzilla returned to the royal capital this time, it was a good thing to know in advance. He could make some preparations. For peace of mind, he prepared to temporarily expand the size of the imperial army.
"No, Your Majesty, I am not saying that the Duke wants to return to the royal capital..."
The young eunuch did not dare to raise his head to look into King Kusla's eyes, and said tremblingly: "He has... arrived."
"How can it be!?"
King Kusla looked in disbelief. He didn't know that it was normal for the other party to return without notifying him, but as long as he went on the road and passed through various cities, there would always be a city owner to inform him.
"Did he come back alone?"
King Kusla asked in confusion.
"Thirty thousand Dawn Swords have entered the city with the Duke."
The young eunuch kept his head close to the ground, fearing that King Kusla would kill him in anger.
"Impossible, impossible..."
King Kusla shook his head and retreated, feeling increasingly uneasy.
In other words, my brother returned from the Great Wall. In the past few days, no city lord or noble reported to the royal capital.
Are all these people rebelling? ? He didn't report it even though he knew it! ?
Thinking that his brother had entered the city at this time, he said angrily: "Why did you let him enter the city!?"
"The general of the garrison in the south of the city was a little hesitant when he saw that it was the Duke, but the Duke holds the Tiger Talisman of the Three Armies in his hand. He is the legitimate general of the empire and conquers the north, so he has to let go..."
The eunuch's voice hesitated, "Furthermore...the Moon Wolf tribe of the Dawn Sword has begun chanting the forbidden spell. If we are not allowed, they will attack the city!"
"You bastard! Then you shouldn't be allowed to go!"
King Kusla kicked the eunuch away, "Rebellion, rebellion! He is going to rebel!"
Sweat broke out on his forehead, "Diluc! Assemble the imperial army and arrange it on the inner city wall outside the Lion Gate. If he wants to force his way into the palace, I will kill him directly!"
Marquis Diluc, who was outside the palace, knelt down on one knee after entering the palace, with a serious look on his face, "I accept my order."
King Kusla felt that today's battle was different from the past. I'm afraid he had really angered his brother on this matter. If he didn't handle it well, his monarchy might be shaken.
King Kusla walked back and forth, still feeling uneasy, so he said again: "Wallis, go to the sky prison to pick up people. Doesn't he value friendship? He can be used as a back-up!"
"I will go immediately."
Wallis quickly got up and ran away.
He walked around in place for a while, then felt that he should be calmer, returned to the throne, and collected himself.
"Come here, tell the Prime Minister, I want to discuss with the Prime Minister..."
King Kusla wanted to ask his most trusted think tank for consultation, but before he could finish speaking, he heard the noise outside.
More than 200,000 Imperial Guards were temporarily mobilized and lined up on the Lion Gate city wall. The voice of Diluc, the commander of the Imperial Guards, was so loud that even he could hear it.
"Duke Godzilla, what are you going to do without leaving your post and breaking into the palace without permission!?"
Now that the streets in the royal capital have been put under martial law, all the people have returned to their homes in a sensible manner. Even if there is no evacuation notice, they know what to do.
After all, everyone knows about the Sword of Dawn, which has been widely spread among the book chanters recently, and the cavalry built by the Moon Wolf Clan.
And the leader, who was wearing a black cloak, had an even more solemn expression. He didn't look like an imperial general returning from victory to ask for a reward, but more like... coming to fight.
Under the Lion Gate, Lu Chen looked up at the Forbidden Army Commander Diluc standing on the city wall. After passing this gate, there was the square in front of the palace. There was no danger to defend.
"Open the city gate and surrender, and those who surrender will live."
As soon as these words came out, Diluc's expression changed drastically. He did not expect that Duke Godzilla's words would be so straightforward.
The meaning of these words has been made clear, he is here to rebel today!
Under the Sword of Dawn under the city gate, he could still see some familiar faces. They were members of the Imperial Guards under his command. There were only less than 2,000 Imperial Guards left out of the 30,000, but at this time they all looked determined. look steadily forward.
"You are going to rebel!"
Diluc said angrily, his voice so loud that he wanted everyone in the city to hear it.
But the man below the city looked calm, and just raised his hand lightly, "I count to three, if the city gate doesn't open, your head will not be saved."
Diluc was completely panicked now. Although there were more than 200,000 Imperial Guards at the Lion Gate at this time, he had no confidence in fighting this invincible Imperial Duke. The Sword of Dawn below looked more like The mythical legion.
"one……"
Lu Chen whispered, and under Diluc's unexpected gaze, he pulled out the Regicide and took the lead in charging forward.
The sword is like a swimming dragon, with the help of Anarius's sprinting force, the regicide sword was struck, and the gate of the Lion City opened.
Diluc was completely confused. Didn't he agree to count to three?
While he was stunned, the icy blue torrent had already poured into the square in front of the palace, and the defenders on the city wall were also confused, not knowing what to do at this time.
As the Imperial Guards, they should fight to the death for King Kusra, but are they going to fight against the Sword of Dawn, which is said to be capable of killing millions of Abyssal troops? Or fighting an army led by the legend who killed the Lord of the Abyss?
Just for that... king who they also think is a bit stupid?
Lu Chen didn't even look at Diluc on the Lion Gate wall. Duke Godzilla was a man of his word, and he was also a man of his word, but on the battlefield, there was no such thing as trustworthiness.
I said count to three, will you really wait until I count to three?
Under the sun, the silver light armors of the Knights of the Sword of Dawn reflected a faint blue light. The dwarves did not fool Lu Chen. This was an army armor that the empire had never seen before. Each one was enchanted. Not only did it have outstanding physical resistance, and good magical defense.
The swords used by the knights are forged from the essence of Mikael steel mixed with tear gold. They are extremely sharp and extremely tough.
Considering that the Moonwolves sometimes need to fight in human form, they do not wear armor, but only wear fixed riding gear to ensure coordination.
Every piece of equipment is of purple quality or above, carefully produced by the dwarves.
This is the most extravagant army in the history of the Aika continent. It is so extravagant that Lu Chen feels that even if he digs the mines in the Warcraft Mountains for a hundred years, he may not be able to pay them back.
The most powerful monster carried the knight who had experienced life and death, and followed the figure forward, just like a sharp sword. When it was unsheathed, the whole world was shocked.
The majesty of the man filled the square and reached the front of the palace. A pair of red-gold eyes looked indifferently at the person sitting on the throne.
"Brother, you, you are back."
King Kusla said in his heart that those imperial guards were useless. Now that they had been broken through, he could only play the emotional card.
At the same time, he was cursing Wallis in his mind, why didn't he hurry up.
Lu Chen didn't answer, got off Anarius, held Regicide in hand, and slowly climbed up the steps.
"Brother...you, don't be angry first. There is a reason for this. Please listen to my explanation."
King Kusla felt that the person in front of him was really angry. He... he wouldn't really dare to kill me, would he?
"You, please calm down and don't act recklessly. I am your biological brother. Do you still remember what my father said? He said you should help me well."
King Kusla saw that his brother had walked under the throne, and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't stop falling.
The Imperial Guards had already come down from the city wall and lined up again in the square in front of the palace, but in the face of thirty thousand Dawn Swords, no one dared to act rashly.
"Come on! Protect me! Kill me."
Diluc gritted his teeth and said that everything he had was given by King Kusla. Once King Kusla died, he would no longer be able to stay in the position of leader of the Forbidden Army, and their family would also lose power.
"Commander, commander, we..."
The adjutant beside Diluc was hesitant, and the other soldiers did not obey the order and went to the former.
Because the leader has not yet charged, they do not have the courage.
There is a huge difference between killing me and killing me.
At this time, Lu Chen had already stepped onto the steps and walked in front of King Kusla, looking down at this "younger brother"
"Brother, I will make you the King of Prisoners. No, I will make you the Prince Regent. You will regain the northern territory. This is what you deserve."
King Kusla was a little incoherent.
"My stupid brother."
Lu Chen said calmly.
When he saw his brother slowly raising the knife in his hand, cold sweat fell on his head, "You..."
Before he could say his next words, the black sword light cut through the air, and the two ever-burning lamps behind the throne went out.
The upper part of the throne, which was polished and suppressed by the abyss lord's skull, gradually slipped away and smooth cuts appeared.
Lu Chen swung his sword with blood, turned around and walked out, as if he had done a small thing, "You can die on your own throne."
When he walked out of the palace, the Sword of Dawn in front of the palace got off the backs of the Moon Wolf tribe and knelt down on one knee.
A veteran who had followed Lu Chen for a long time spoke first, "See the King of Heroes!"
Then came the unified slogan, and the name of the King of Heroes resounded through the sky.
On January 8, 16031 in the Aika Continent Calendar, Godzilla Howard, the guardian of the continent, killed the Lord of the Abyss shortly after he killed him to seek the throne, and was known in history as...the King of Heroes.
