Alien paradise

"Mr. Chao, is it possible that this plane can use the sea as a take-off and landing site?" Ryan also came over at this time.

"Yes, this is also the fastest way to send you back to the Old Continent. If we take off in the morning, we can reach the east coast of the Old Continent before evening." Chaoyang nodded.

"It only takes one day!" Farrellan on the side was also surprised by this efficiency.

They took a battleship from Blood Hand Port to Glory Castle, but it took them fourteen days!

"In order to avoid your whereabouts being discovered, the pilot will find an offshore location to drop you off. There is a small speedboat in the cabin for you to land on land." Chaoyang paused, "Speaking of which, you all plan to go to the Royal City, right? ?”

"Yes. Regardless of whether it has fallen or not, it is the best place to inquire for information." Ryan said seriously.

"Me too." Sandra thought the same as him, "General Fares Ben's troops are usually stationed on the outskirts of the royal city. If the royal family is still resisting, it must be under his command."

"In that case, I have something to entrust to you."

"Just say it." Ryan said without hesitation.

"Help me send two people to the Royal City." Chaoyang pointed to Dan En and Judy beside him, "It would be fine if it were normal times. There is a civil war over there now. It will be safer if there are people taking care of them on the road."

"Is it just this? I'll take care of it." The lieutenant colonel agreed.

Sandra also clenched her fists on her chest, "I will definitely ensure that the two of them reach the royal city safely."

"Sorry to trouble you." Chaoyang turned towards the sea, "Go ahead. I wish you all a smooth journey."

…

In the upper city area of ​​​​the royal city, Jinsui Palace.

Duke Longjiu stepped over the body of the guard and walked into the audience hall. This is not the inner hall, but the place where the royal family usually receives foreign ministers. He walked along the gilded granite slabs on the ground, walked through the long aisle, and walked step by step towards the throne where he usually meets with His Majesty. The floor-to-ceiling arch windows on both sides of the palace still showed the old scene of the royal city, but the billowing black smoke gave the city a sense of solemnity.

The king was sitting on his throne.

Beside him, there were more than ten princes and princesses.

The oldest of them is in his twenties, the youngest is in his early seventies, and the eldest prince and the second prince are not among them.

This was the first time for these royal heirs to experience such a thing. Most of them looked at the rebels with blank expressions, somewhat at a loss; the sensible ones stood in front of their father, with obvious fear in their eyes.

"This general... was defeated?"

William Taser looked at the initiator of the rebellion and said in a deep voice.

He was only fifty years old at the moment, but he was still considered to be in the prime of life. Not only was there no trace of confusion when he spoke, but he was full of majesty, just like when he questioned his ministers in the past.

"Yes, he fought very tenaciously, and his soldiers worked very hard. Unfortunately, in front of the Man of Steel, their efforts will not have much effect."

The Duke, as usual, bowed and saluted him before answering directly.

What is Man of Steel?

King Taser did not ask a question, because the soldiers standing next to Duke Long Jiu had already told him the answer - these people were no longer wearing military uniforms, but extremely thick armors. Because these armors were so huge that they He looked like a giant, nearly three meters tall, and his big steel feet could leave cracks in the granite slabs when he stepped on the ground.

It is impossible for heavy steel armor of this size to be supported by human power. The steam that spews out from their joints from time to time means that the armor is essentially a man-made contraption. Not carrying a water tank means that these strange structures are directly driven by talented people, but there are far from enough talented people to act as guards.

"Are you here because of something that happened a hundred years ago?" Taser sighed.

"Speaking of a hundred years ago, the royal family does owe my grandfather an answer. If it weren't for his contribution, it might have taken a long time for the Taser family to annex the entire Old World. Unfortunately, what did he get in return? Except for a duke Apart from the title, there is nothing. But..."

Wilson Longjiu shook his head, "I'm not here for the royal family's debt. The reason why I do this is very simple, that is, it is easy to do this."

"you……"

"Have you forgotten how your family ascended to the throne? At that time, there were many kingdoms and princes on the mainland. Did they owe your grandfather anything? Of course not, just because the late king thought he could do this, In that case, why not give it a try?”

The Duke climbed the steps step by step until he came to sit on an equal footing with the King.

"Don't come here!" the eldest prince shouted, his right hand already on his sword.

"Your Highness, the Fourth Prince, I feel your courage, but if the sword is unsheathed now, you will only die earlier than your father."

"Noel! Back off!"

"But father -" The fourth prince looked back at his father, and finally gave way.

"How long has it been since your family was favored by the goddess of fertility? After the death of the late king, the blessings from the gods have nothing to do with you, right? You control the royal army and enjoy the taxes paid by vassals everywhere, but you forgot This position was earned through divine power.”

He stopped in front of the king. The angle of view of both parties had changed from looking down to looking down, but the person looking down had changed sides.

"...If you win, I will write an abdication edict and don't hurt my children." Taser said after a moment of silence.

"I won't touch them, and I don't even want the throne." Duke Longjiu said indifferently.

"What?"

"I will support one of your descendants to ascend to the throne. In this way, the kingdom will still belong to the Laurel family. And this person will take over the responsibility of killing the king and usurping the throne, and become the new king of the old continent." His eyes glanced at the princes and princesses, "However, only one person can receive this honor - the one who finally survives after a lot of fighting."

William Taser suddenly changed his color, "Shut up, how dare you——!"

boom!

Before he could finish his words, a big hole was shot out of his head with a bludgeon, and his voice stopped abruptly.

The king slowly collapsed, and the back of the throne was covered with blood.

Everyone screamed immediately!

Duke Longjiu stared at the fourth prince who had blocked him before. At this time, he completely lost the momentum to rush forward and fight bravely. As his father fell, his face turned horribly pale and his legs were trembling.

Even at this time...he is still pretending, trying to impress his father more?

The Duke sneered, the Laurel family had indeed stayed on the throne for too long.

Long Jiu put away his gun, turned around and walked down the stairs, "You have to hurry up. If you want to live, don't hesitate. Haven't you ever imagined that if you are not so low in the pecking order, how can you sit back and watch the succession of the throne? To the eldest prince? 'Based on ability alone, I can do better than them all!' - I guess you must have said this in your heart."

He retreated to the bottom of the hall, turned around and opened his hands to the princes and princesses, "Now, I will give you a chance to prove it."

I underestimated the symptoms of yang, the fever went down, but the transaminase soared to 1800, and the bilirubin was also much higher than the standard... I am now hospitalized and am on fluids, so I will have to go to bed for a while, woo woo woo. Sorry folks! Here I wish everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day!
