Chapter 2174: Ye Geer

Holy Court, inner hall.

The table was inlaid with gold patterns, and the central area had a large piece of gemstone, which was exceptionally gorgeous.

The Holy Descendant King sat in the slightly higher head seat, while of the five duke chairs, two were empty at this time.

Su Xiao, the Old Duke, and Lady Moon Wolf were all seated. Today, it had been one day since the Iron Feather King passed away.

The Northern Alliance had attacked. On the day the Iron Feather King passed away, the Northern Alliance broke through Sera's border defense line. 150,000 polar cavalry charged straight in, breaking through seven defense lines in succession before resting because the supply troops couldn't keep up.

By common sense, this kind of war intelligence would be sent back to Yalansi City within 3 hours, and the dukes and the Holy Descendant King would be the first to know, then make decisions.

But on that day, the empire's high-level officials knew nothing about it. The reason was that the soldiers responsible for delivering the war report were assassinated as soon as they arrived in Yalansi City. None of the 12 soldiers who arrived in batches were spared.

Who directed the interception was unclear at this time, and there was no time to investigate. The subsequent handling by Yalansi City officials made up for this.

At the final moment of the empire's life and death, the officials finally put down their greed. They withstood the assassinations of the assassins and sent people to the front lines to obtain information. 27 waves of people died back and forth before finally verifying the front-line war report. Note, it wasn't 27 people who died, but 27 waves of people.

The next morning, the war report finally reached the Holy Court. As for where the Northern Alliance had attacked to now, that was unknown. Those cavalry from the polar regions had already charged into the empire, aiming to intercept the intelligence troops.

"When I arrived, the situation was already like this."

Lady Moon Wolf spoke with a gloomy face. Her index finger was trembling; this was a manifestation of extreme anger.

"Ye Geer, what is your attitude toward this matter?"

The Old Duke spoke without lifting his head, and he called the Holy Descendant King by his given name. After all, in the Old Duke's view, there was only one King of Sera, and it wasn't Ye Geer.

"You decide."

The Holy Descendant King, Ye Geer, looked lazy.

"Good."

The Old Duke looked at Lady Moon Wolf. A moment later, he sighed inwardly and turned his gaze to Su Xiao.

"How about it, my duke position has been borrowed by you for a few days, at least give a suggestion."

"Oh."

"For the sake of the Iron Feather King, give a suggestion."

"First, issue an amnesty order in Yalansi City, then you or Lady Moon Wolf personally go to the front line to supervise the battle."

"Is that so,"

The Old Duke frowned and pondered. This was roughly the same as his own thoughts. As for who between him and Lady Moon Wolf would go to the front line, did that even need to be asked?

"I will coexist with Yalansi."

Lady Moon Wolf stated her position without waiting for the Old Duke to speak.

"Thought so. After all, with your cowardice, it's impossible for you to go to the front line. I have no other requirements. Before Yalansi City completely falls, you keep guarding here for me. At least the supplies for the front line cannot be cut off."

The Old Duke stood up from his seat. He was going to the front line to supervise the battle and boost morale. At least after Sera perished, he wouldn't bear the name of a coward duke.

Several servants stepped forward to put a set of black armor on the Old Duke. To go to the front line, one had to look like they were going to the front line.

Just as the Old Duke was about to leave, his gaze inadvertently saw the gemstones in the center of the council table. The more he looked at them, the angrier he became. Not only were they useless, but they were also dazzling when the sun shone on them.

*Bang! *

The Old Duke smashed his fist onto the council table, and the gemstones in the center shattered. This made his mood much more comfortable; after all, he had long wanted to do this.

From beginning to end, the Holy Descendant King, Ye Geer, didn't say much. Becoming the Holy Descendant King wasn't his subjective wish, but he was chosen by his family. He was strong enough, so he sat here.

Ye Geer's family had originally cultivated him to be the second Iron Feather King, but the Iron Feather King's strength couldn't be replicated. That was the purest, simplest strength, the strength killed out on the battlefield.

As the Holy Descendant King, Ye Geer wasn't actually incompetent. At least he would accept most of Lirin's opinions. This could be seen from the happiness of the empire's people. Moreover, he had stepped on the ambitious Angry Lion, making the other party afraid to act rashly.

"Moon Wolf, you can go."

Su Xiao suddenly spoke. Hearing this, Lady Moon Wolf first had a moment of anger, then turned into shock.

Lady Moon Wolf turned her head somewhat stiffly, her face full of disbelief.

"You want to?"

"..."

Su Xiao didn't speak. Lady Moon Wolf immediately stood up and left. All the doubts in her heart were resolved. She had been surprised just now why the Old Duke would personally go to the front line; now it seemed that the old fellow was running away.

"So... you wanted to kill me."

Ye Geer seemed to have just figured out some things. He patted the armrest of the throne, and a gorgeous circular sword hilt popped out. As this sword slowly rose, Su Xiao saw it was a war sword.

The entire war sword was about 1.3 meters long, the grip and guard were very simple, the blade was sharp, the sword body near the hilt was about six centimeters wide, and the higher it went, the narrower the sword body became. At the tip, it looked like a sharp awl.

"In my life, I haven't accomplished anything, but I am very good at using this thing."

The laziness on Ye Geer's face gradually faded. He had originally thought he would die under the siege of the polar warriors; this was an ending he could accept.

The reason Ye Geer often slept was mainly because he felt the people around him were too boring—officials fighting for power, dukes fighting each other, families pinning high hopes on him, etc. These were all too boring. The only thing not boring was someone who had arrived in Yalansi City not long ago, hiding the blood energy on his body. Unfortunately, the other party didn't seem to want to fight him.

Many years ago, everyone looked forward to Ye Geer, hoping he could lead Sera to prosperity. But Ye Geer knew himself that he couldn't do it. That wasn't what he was good at. He was very clumsy in his childhood. The cumbersome etiquette that his brothers and sisters could learn in a few hours, he had to practice for at least a month, and he was still clumsy when actually using them.

Especially when dancing a social dance, he tore a lady's dress open, the kind that tore all the way to the bottom. He swore he didn't do it on purpose. During the process, the lady tried to struggle, but to maintain etiquette, Ye Geer chose to finish the dance with her. Afterward, the lady cried very sadly, and Ye Geer never saw that lady again.

Facing the ridicule of his brothers and sisters, Ye Geer felt no anger, no inferiority, just boredom. He had always been wondering, why learn these etiquettes?

Until one day, Ye Geer held a sword for the first time in his life. He smiled, showing a smile for the first time.

When Ye Geer's joy disappeared, he was slightly surprised to find that his brothers and sisters, biological mother, uncle, etc., were all lying in a pool of blood. The only one still alive was his father, whose legs had been severed and who was covered in blood.

"Ye Geer, having a son like you, I am very proud."

Ye Geer clearly remembered that this was the first time his father had praised him. In the time that followed, Ye Geer obtained a somewhat long war sword and went to kill various monsters.

Just when Ye Geer thought he would live in this pleasant slaughter forever, his father found him again and told him he would become the Holy Descendant King. Ye Geer had always thought that the Holy Descendant King was to kill people for the Sera Empire, so he agreed.

But after becoming the Holy Descendant King, Ye Geer found that the Holy Descendant King's daily work was sitting and sleeping, which was very boring.

After years, decades, and decades of endurance, Ye Geer found his father and revealed the thoughts in his heart.

The result was predictable. Ye Geer's father was furious and even wanted to take away his war sword. For this reason, Ye Geer theorized with his father, but because he was too clumsy in speech, he was scolded by his father until he was bloody.

So Ye Geer chose to negotiate in the way he was best at. Ye Geer's conclusion was that his father was too weak and didn't know how to use the power of the Holy Descendant to fight at all.

After Ye Geer killed his father, he left the Sera Empire and began to wreak havoc on the Northern Alliance. More than ten years later, just when the Northern Alliance was wreaking havoc to the point of being confused and preparing to station troops in the desolate area to encircle and suppress him, he returned to Yalansi City, killed the Holy Descendant King who had just taken office for more than ten years, and sat back on the throne.

The reason was that Ye Geer heard a story, a story told by an old woman named Yiweier, called the story of the Father Dragon. After hearing this story, Ye Geer felt some regret because he couldn't find anyone better to him than his father. Such a person... would never exist again.

A second emotion arose in Ye Geer's heart: guilt. So he sealed his war sword in the throne and went to fulfill his father's expectations. Unfortunately, he didn't do well. ===== CHAPTER 2175 =====
