Chapter 602: Unyielding!

~7 min read 1,356 words

Seeing the expectant gazes of everyone, King Lola sighed deeply.

He placed his hand on the chair and slowly rose.

"This king has long formed a conclusion in my heart!"

"Charles Bonar, you must immediately take Gailuos and the other princesses and flee secretly to the Ganar Empire."

"Even if the Lord Chenxi territory is powerful now, it is impossible to oppose the Empire."

"Besides that, take half of the national treasury's assets with you, and remember to keep a low profile over there!"

As he spoke, King Lola's eyes gradually turned red.

After casting a deep look at Gailuos and the Wang Jue Charles Bonar, he choked out:

"Go, the continuation of the Lola Kingdom depends on you!"

"Remember not to tell this to your descendants, and do not think of seeking revenge."

Having finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and threw the token representing his kingship at Charles Bonar.

He left only a towering back for Charles Bonar.

And Charles Bonar's eyes were already red as he looked at the once crowded deliberation hall.

Now only he, a Wang Jue, remained; this mission he had to fulfill.

Bowing deeply, he pulled Gailuos, whose eyes were empty, and walked toward the door.

At the moment of stepping across the threshold, he suddenly turned back, paid another great bow to everyone in the hall, and then left reluctantly.

Only after Charles Bonar had been gone for a long 850 while did King Lola turn around.

Looking at the few ministers remaining, he said softly:

"At this moment, if anyone wishes to leave, simply exit this hall."

"I make no excessive demands on those who leave; I only hope you do not reveal the whereabouts of the last drop of bloodline of my Lola Kingdom!"

After saying this, King Lola directly closed his eyes, because he did not want to see their departing figures.

However, when he opened his eyes again.

The people in the hall were still the people in the hall; not a single person had left.

His already red eyes could no longer hold back the tears that had been surging for a long time; hot tears suddenly streamed down.

Just then, a very anxious voice came from afar and drew near.

"Report—"

The messenger arrived before King Lola and knelt halfway, saying:

"My lord King, a small number of goblins are gathering in the north of the Kingdom, and the number gathering is increasing."

"Up to now, there are already nearly ten thousand!"

"And the speed of increase is getting faster and faster!"

Hearing this, King Lola's tears stopped abruptly, and he staggered back several steps in a daze.

Although he had known this day would come, he never expected it to be so fast.

"Mobilize the army; defend the north of the Kingdom against the invading enemy!"

"Yes!"

Lord Chenxi territory—

Upon learning that part of the Lord Chenxi legion had completed the task of sweeping the lords and had gathered north of the Lola Kingdom, Li Yue stepped onto the teleportation array heading to Zhaoyangzhen.

Zhaoyangzhen—

The eldest princess of the Xine Kingdom, the Grand Bishop of the Guangmingjiao Sect, and the old clan head of the Cecil family of the Lilenni Kingdom, seeing the teleportation array flashing with waves of light, quickly bowed deeply:

"We pay our respects to the Lord!"

Li Yue, stepping out of the teleportation array, happened to see and happened to hear.

The corner of his mouth could not help but rise into a slight arc; he nodded slightly:

"Mm, follow me to the deliberation hall first!"

Ten minutes later, Li Yue pronounced the death sentence on the Lola Kingdom.

"The Lola Kingdom has no need to continue existing; the elite forces of other nations have been wiped out, and the remainder are but residual power; I will also resolve them completely!"

"Therefore, the rest need not be said by me, right?"

"I do not hope to see conflicts arise among you; especially the Guangmingjiao Sect, you may only spread the faith, not seize land!"

The three each had their own calculations, but upon hearing this, they were overjoyed.

The Lola Kingdom, that existence standing at their pinnacle for thousands of years.

They never thought there would come a day when they would replace it; yet, how long had it been since they pledged allegiance to the Lord Chenxi territory before hearing such news?

"Finally, I warn you once more: do not kill on a large scale; I do not know if they have a second Legend, nor do I know if a Shi Shi expert is hiding among the common people!"

"Three days after the fall of the Lola Kingdom, the energy tribute required daily from your two kingdoms will rise to thirty thousand!"

Li Yue first gave them a piece of candy to make them happy, then struck them with a stick, leaving them unable to laugh or cry.

However, the eldest princess of the Xine Kingdom and the old clan head of the Cecil family of the Lilenni Kingdom agreed very readily, as if responding a moment slower would cause Li Yue to change the price.

It made him feel for an instant as if he had lost out, and he began to calculate in his mind when to find an opportunity to raise the price again.

After the three left, Li Yue walked out of the hall, mounted the Dark Demon Dragon, and flew rapidly toward the direction of the Lola Kingdom.

He did not take the teleportation array; for a full three hours, Li Yue and his party arrived at the place where the Lord Chenxi legion had gathered.

Looking down at the rolling heads, no fewer than twenty thousand people had gathered here.

Li Yue knew the average strength of these troops; more than half of the people had not yet arrived, likely held up by encountering hard opponents.

After all, a full day had passed; among the lords who had been swept away, there were not a few who, having used time scrolls to boost their strength, wanted to resist.

The massive silhouette of the Dark Demon Dragon descended slowly, drawing cheers from the entire Lord Chenxi Legion.

"Aburich, Commander of the Third Battalion of the Lord Chenxi Legion, pays homage to my lord!"

"Kabrido, Commander of the Seventh Battalion of the Lord Chenxi Legion, pays homage to my lord!"

"Paying homage to my lord!"

Li Yue did not reply; instead, he had the Elf Queen Sherry cast a beam of healing light that enveloped everyone.

The instant they were enveloped, everyone felt a warmth throughout their bodies, extremely comfortable.

The fatigue and sense of depletion brought by an entire day of war vanished completely in this very moment.

After landing, Li Yue immediately summoned the commanders of the two battalions.

After the two performed their salutations, he immediately said:

"Aburich, Kabrido, you two must organize your troops immediately!"

"One hour from now, launch an attack on the Lora Kingdom!"

"Yes!"

Having received the order, the two turned around in haste.

The entire camp instantly came to life again.

Watching them depart, Li Yue let out a slow breath.

To strike a tiger, one must do so while it is sick, to take its life.

Although the Lora Kingdom was not a tiger to him, Li Yue would not let his guard down.

A nation capable of birthing a Legend likely had other contingencies; this was also one of the reasons Li Yue had left Ka Luoer behind to guard the main camp.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

One hour later, the drumbeats sounded on time.

Li Yue walked out slowly, gazing at the Lord Chenxi Legion, fully assembled and standing in neat formation; suddenly, he understood why ancient emperors loved to build up their armies on such a grand scale.

Because an army is visible power, something held in the palm of one's hand.

If two words were to describe it, they would be "peace of mind!"

Li Yue ascended the platform slowly; the Apocalypse Emperor Cloak behind him made his aura surpass that of ordinary lords, resembling a true king.
