Overgod Ascension

Blood and fire boil!

The huge shadow of the blue dragon roared and danced over Lionheart City!

Many soldiers waving flags, swords and shields poured into Lionheart City, killing the rebels.

Soldiers' heads were an important symbol used by the conquering king's army to calculate their merits. As for why the other party collected so many heads? It is said that the conquering king wanted to use them to build a high tower to scare all the rebels in the highlands!

The Duke of Wellington didn't want to think about anything at this time. He hurriedly fled into the seemingly safe family castle and came to the study.

This place used to be the core of his power, but now all we see is a scene of panic.

The maids, grooms, and cooks fled in all directions, spreading panic news. When they fled, they did not forget to take one or several valuable items from the master's house as a reward for their years of hard service.

After initially killing two maids, the Duke of Wellington became disheartened and no longer wanted to do these things.

He sat on the recliner and waited quietly.

Although he could run away, or even go to Ice City or other Wellington family fiefdoms to resist, he no longer wanted to do this.

Is the Duke of Wellington still a Duke after losing Lionheart City?

The most direct point is that the entire Wellington family has no power to resist in front of the conquering king.

Castles and fiefs represent the source of aristocratic strength. After losing these, he may have no choice but to live under the banner of other branches of the clan and give up his title of duke. This is something that the proud Duke of Wellington will never tolerate.

'Even if you die, you must be a duke and have the dignity of a nobleman. People of noble blood will not bleed to death...'

He thought silently, and suddenly, the voice outside changed.

The sounds of exclamation and slashing continued, and finally turned into a uniform pace. It seemed that a large number of people had poured into the castle and were searching room by room.

The Duke of Wellington gave a wry smile, held up the golden wine glass in front of him with trembling hands, and drank the red wine in one gulp.

When the soldiers finally broke through the heavy defenses and kicked open the study door, all they saw was the stiffened body of Saga Wellington.

…

The next day, the riots in Lionheart City gradually subsided, and the Blue Dragon Alliance took control of every corner of the city.

Only then did Wu Ming, surrounded by a large number of knights, enter the gate of Lion Heart City as a conqueror.

This city founded by the Lion-Hearted King finally welcomed another king after the end of that ancient kingdom!

In the huge castle meeting hall, Wu Ming sat on the throne and listened to the reports of his subordinates.

"Saga Wellington committed suicide by drinking poison?"

He pondered for a moment, and then ordered all the valuable prisoners of the Wellington family to be brought up.

Soon, a group of well-dressed and panic-stricken red lions came forward. They had at least a knighthood and were the backbone of the Wellington family. But now, surrounded and watched by soldiers on both sides, they were trembling. , knelt down without scolding: "Great King of Conquerors, we are humble enough to offer our loyalty to you, and I hope you can accept it!"

Garcia turned his head away, as if he didn't want to see the end of the Wellington family's hegemony.

"Saga Wellington sent troops to invade Fengying Plain several times, and also planned an assassination against me. Such a heinous crime is unforgivable!"

Wu Ming spoke indifferently, with a slow and solemn tone that made the group of noble prisoners below suddenly despair, thinking that they would be dragged out and hanged in the next moment.

"However, since Wellington is dead, all of his sins cannot be pinned on you..."

Wu Ming's next sentence made them feel like they were hearing the sound of nature. They loudly cursed the former Duke of Wellington and praised the kindness of the conquering king.

Seeing Garcia's disdain and the groveling behavior of the nobles below, Wu Ming didn't take it seriously.

The lions who really fought bravely either died or broke out, and most of the captives were cartilage. This is normal.

Of course, even a piece of waste and garbage has value.

"As punishment for your resistance, I will deprive the Wellington family of the title of Duke and demote it to Marquis!"

Wu Ming pondered for a moment, and then announced his decision on punishment: "Lion Heart City will also be taken back. As a city directly under my jurisdiction, the surrounding fiefdoms will be treated the same way!"

Garcia closed his eyes.

Lionheart City and the surrounding vast and fertile land are the most important foundation of the Wellington family's rule. Now that they are deprived of it, the family's strength will drop by more than 50%.

"As for the candidate for the next Marquess of Wellington?"

Wu Ming glanced down, and all the nobles, even Garcia, felt their hearts skip a beat.

He did not name the candidate immediately, but said: "Although Saga Wellington is dead, the resistance of the other branches of the Wellington family continues. I need you to spread my kindness to all directions and serve for me. Conquer them. Whoever can finally make the remaining red lions surrender will be the new Marquis of Wellington, the guardian of the Western Region whom I canonize!"

As soon as these words came out, almost all the Wellington tribesmen below had their eyes turned red and turned into rabbits.

Viscount Bale and other outsiders laughed secretly.

Knowing that the Wellington family is deeply rooted in the highlands, it will not take a short time to completely conquer them, so it is necessary to let the red lions attack each other.

And the remaining Wellington tribe members couldn't resist this temptation at all, and they couldn't help but try their best.

"My king, please forgive me for my faux pas. Does the 'you' you refer to include Arthur?"

Garcia stepped out of the queue, bowed and asked.

All the lion nobles next to him looked unnatural, and many even glared at him.

Arthur Wellington is the heir determined by the former Archduke Wellington. Among the nobles who pay attention to blood and legality, as long as he is alive, no one can deny the right of inheritance. He is the natural candidate for the patriarch, and of course Wellington. The first in line of succession to the Marquis.

Maybe as soon as he shows up, he can gain the loyalty of some of the branches that are still resisting.

"certainly!"

Wu Ming looked at Viscount Garcia, with a strange light flashing in his eyes: "As long as he swears an oath and surrenders to me!"

"I see!"

Garcia saluted again and retreated into the crowd, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You all go down!"

After handling a few more urgent matters, Wu Mingcai waved his hand and asked the vassals to go down.

At this time, the hall was empty except for a few people, all of them confidants.

"My master!"

The new voodoo witch Caritan curtsied and spoke slowly in a respectful tone: "We searched the entire castle, but could not find the other children of the Duke of Wellington... But I was in his study, Traces of witchcraft were found, and a sacrificial ceremony seemed to have been held.”

"It seems that the information is true. Saga sacrificed a lot of things to the evil god..."

Regarding this misfortune, Wu Ming didn't say much. He stood up calmly: "Now, let's go and see the wealth he left us!"

The Wellington family's warehouse is at the bottom of the castle.

Because the Blue Dragon Alliance arrived so quickly, coupled with his confidence in the defense of Lionheart City, Duke Wellington did not consider the transfer issue at all, and now Wu Ming has taken advantage of everything.

"Open!"

After passing through several checkpoints guarded by his own soldiers, Wu Ming came to the bottom of the castle. Looking at the tall doors, it was as if he had arrived at the gate of the Giant Kingdom.

"As you command!"

Knight Jack stepped forward rather shamelessly and opened the door with a thick key.

Click!

The door of the treasure house is made of pure iron. Even with Jack's strength, it is quite difficult for one person to open it.

But when it completely appeared in front of Wu Ming, the people around him were amazed.

gold!

The dazzling and brilliant gold, with its brilliant luster, piled up into a hill in front of them.

What appeared in front of them was a hill made of Jindelon, with a large number of diamonds, crystals, agate, etc. on it...

"At least more than one million Jin Delong...the value of other handicrafts cannot be calculated..."

Wu Ming glanced at it a few times, estimated the approximate figure, and sighed deeply: "The accumulation of thousands of years by a duke and nobleman is indeed extraordinary."

A powerful force that has been inherited for thousands of years can naturally accumulate extremely amazing wealth.

"It seems that we still need to build up the principality's reserves..."

Wu Ming ordered other warehouses to be opened, and he immediately saw a large number of weapons, leather armors, and countless grains piled up in each warehouse.

Anyone who possesses such wealth, weapons, and food will develop ambitions. It is no wonder that the Wellington family is so ambitious to expand.

"My King, our Knights of Glory have searched every corner of the city, but unfortunately no trace of the Hand of Shadow has been found!"

After walking out of the warehouse, the Archbishop hurried over and told Wu Ming some not-so-good news.

"The base camp of the Hand of Shadow is not in the Wind Fire Plains or the Highlands, but in the remaining three areas. It doesn't matter if I can't find it this time. As long as I continue to win, the living space of these rats will continue to shrink. , in the end, they will automatically be unable to help themselves and come out to find me.”

Wu Mingming said very confidently.

The dinner was held in the hall of Lionheart City. In order to celebrate this victory and appease other surrendered nobles, it was quite necessary to hold a grand banquet.

Wu Ming was naturally the focus of the banquet, and many nobles sent their daughters, sisters, and even wives. The fiery gaze and the feeling of stars holding the moon were enough to make any man intoxicated.

After the dinner, two pieces of news reached Wu Ming almost at the same time.
