Chapter 1245

"Hiss..."

Hearing Li Ang's proposal, which was less "out of the box" and more "dragging the box to race in hell," the two siblings of the fallen nation couldn't help but look at each other, discovering that the other's pupils were also shaking wildly.

Although they had long known this person wasn't quite normal, aren't you a bit too abnormal? Even if an ordinary person lets their imagination run wild, they wouldn't think of destroying the entire kingdom directly, would they?

"Whether you actually do it is up to you; I just offered an idea."

Li Ang spread his hands and said with a straight face:

"After the two of you surrendered, the blood oath was indeed partially broken, which proves that my line of thought is at least correct. The prerequisite for this blood oath is indeed your status as Kroke royals.

And although the Kroke Kingdom has just declared its fall, the territory of the Kroke Kingdom is currently still intact. You still have the possibility of leaving here or being taken away from the territory, so the blood oath on you hasn't been completely undone.

So, if you want to undo this last half of the blood oath, the best method is naturally to prescribe the right medicine, directly destroy the Kroke Kingdom in one go, and make the King-Slaying Society's blood oath fundamentally invalid. The problem on you will naturally be solved."

"..."

The logic is sound, but isn't the method you chose a bit too extreme?

"Isn't there a gentler way?"

After hearing Li Ang's words, Prince Andrei couldn't help but suggest:

"For example, you bring people to occupy it, and then do something else to make the Kroke Kingdom lose its territory in name?"

"That's possible, but can you wait until then?"

After pointing to Fei Liya's body covered in crow feathers, Li Ang reminded him:

"Besides acting directly and destroying the entire Kroke Kingdom in one go, no other method can complete the 'destruction' of the Kroke Kingdom's territory before your souls are annihilated. There is no longer any possibility of 'coexistence' between the two of you and the entire Kroke Kingdom."

Indeed, this is truly the only way.

After glancing at his sister's situation, Prince Andrei couldn't help but sigh, then staggered as he turned around and beckoned to the giant "Sunset" painting in the distance.

He never expected that not only would he be the king of a fallen nation once, but in the end, he would have to personally destroy the entire Kroke Kingdom.

And just as he stood before the painting with emotion, rolling the people in the painting out of the kingdom stroke by stroke, Prince Andrei seemed to vaguely understand something and looked back at Li Ang with a complex expression.

Noticing his strange gaze, Li Ang couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing..."

Prince Andrei shook his head:

"I was just wondering why you would propose this kind of solution."

"Of course, it's to defend the Watchtower Palace and thereby protect all of humanity."

Hearing Prince Andrei's words, Li Ang, who had always been loyal to the Cleanup Bureau, answered without hesitation:

"For our Cleanup Bureau, as long as one of the Twelve Royal Families is completely severed, 'anomalies' of the Holy Spirit level can already enter and exit the present world freely. If a total of more than three lineages are severed, even some weaker True Gods can barely squeeze in. This is a result the Bureau absolutely cannot tolerate." "Besides this?"

Prince Andrei turned his head back, and while continuing to "paint" the citizens away from the territory of the Kroke Kingdom, he whispered in confusion:

"Actually, from the first time I met you, I felt that you seemed to have an inexplicable malice toward the entire Kroke Kingdom, which intensified after attacking Administrative District No. 3. It's as if..."

"You must have felt wrong."

Interrupting Prince Andrei's words without hesitation, Li Ang looked ahead and explained with a frank expression:

"I treat all kingdoms equally and don't hold any malice toward you specifically."

"Alright..."

After glancing at Li Ang's expression, Prince Andrei hesitated for a moment, then didn't say anything more and continued to use his paintbrush to prepare for the destruction of the Kroke Kingdom. Meanwhile, Li Ang, standing beside Prince Andrei, let Little Ha take the robber siblings away while glancing at him sideways.

This person's intuition was truly unusually sharp. Regarding the Kroke Kingdom, which had a very distorted "model," he truly didn't have any good intentions.

According to the documents he obtained after attacking Administrative District No. 3, the entire territory controlled by the Kroke Kingdom was vast, covering nearly 400,000 square kilometers, with over 37 million people living under their "system."

But excluding the 1.3 million citizens in these 800 blocks of the Kroke Kingdom who chewed disgusting vegetable paste every day, the remaining 96% of people couldn't call their days living; they could only be called barely surviving.

Especially those floating crystal mines; to mine this stuff, who knows how many people died every year. The other types of mining areas and resource production sites, while not as bloody as the floating crystal mines, weren't much better off.

The prosperity and advancement of the entire Kroke Kingdom were supported by the flesh and blood of those 35 million-plus people, exchanging 96-97% of suffering for 3-4% of prosperity.

Although this kind of thing couldn't be avoided in the vast majority of kingdoms, with the only difference being the degree of severity, the Kroke Kingdom was particularly excessive. They truly only took the "benefits" and dumped all the "burdens" without exception.

If it were normal times, considering that even the worst order was better than total chaos, plus the fact that destroying the kingdom directly would also cause trouble at the Cleanup Bureau, he might have thought of some gentler methods and taken it step by step.

But now, since this matter was linked to the Watchtower Palace and had the "great cause" of protecting all of humanity as a reason, naturally, he had to do something big in one go and completely tear off this scar!

Almost there...

After a long period of depiction, "Kroke Under the Sunset" was painted beyond recognition by Prince Andrei's own hands, becoming "The Kroke Kingdom, which became empty and desolate after all its citizens were safely blown abroad by a wild wind."

Looking at the countless "little black dots" on the wilderness outside the painting, Prince Andrei breathed a slight sigh of relief, then, under Li Ang's expectant gaze, raised his paintbrush saturated with paint and twisted it heavily at the far end of the canvas.

A brilliant light burst forth.

Following Prince Andrei's paintbrush, a touch of golden yellow bloomed quietly at the edge of the orange-red sunset and faded extremely rapidly. Amazingly, for every bit the color on the canvas faded, the light of the sun became more intense.

When Prince Andrei took out a broken painting knife, scraped off the thick base color with force, and applied a light layer of pale white paint, the once-gentle sunset on the horizon had already brightened to a degree that made it impossible to open one's eyes.

And in the 800-plus blocks of the Kroke Kingdom, countless surging flames had already erupted. Everything that could burn was ignited, and even the metal that couldn't be burned began to turn red and soften piece by piece under the violent baking of the scorching white sun.
