Throne of the North

Looking at the sudden appearance of Hernan, the old king's pupils shrank like needlepoints.

He is a king, so no one can deceive him. Of course he is Ice Vein, and Hernan has become a container for a great being in the Twilight Kingdom.

"Who are you, Surtur of Dusk, or Hernan?"

The old king asked in a majestic voice. He is the king of this land, and he is majestic even when facing the gods.

"Father……"

Hernan said in a low voice. Faced with his father's majestic rebuke, he still subconsciously became humble, but the next moment, the power in his body was angry at his humility, so his eyes became a little cold.

"His Majesty!"

His voice changed, becoming as lonely as the dusk that was about to enter the eternal night.

"I am your child, Hernan Andara, the heir to this kingdom."

But the old king also understood at this moment that the Hernan in front of him was probably no longer the simple Hernan, or perhaps not the simple Dusk Surtur.

"You are no longer the heir, you are no longer of royal blood, and you have been deprived of all rights and honors."

"Hernan, a believer in the Ability God, there is no place for you in front of the morning sun."

The old king said with a strong voice, this is the benefit of the holy medicine of the Holy See. It always hangs the old king's life, allowing him to witness the quelling of the kingdom's rebellion and see the glory of the morning shining on the next era of the Kingdom of Andala.

"Morning light? Ability God?"

Hernan laughed wildly and looked at the king.

"My Majesty, they all say that you are a wise and wise king who leads the Kingdom of Andara to a new peak, but why are you so stupid!"

"The cursed bloodline can no longer step into the extraordinary bloodline. Why don't you see Chen Xi who you serve to help you lift the curse?"

"Will Dawn help you baptize your bloodline? Will the Andala royal family once again have a powerful divine bloodline?"

"mortal--"

Hernan's voice was solemn.

"You are just a mortal. Andara's royal bloodline will completely become mortals. Even slaves have the possibility of becoming extraordinary. However, the royal bloodline has lost all hope."

"Morning light won't save you."

"Furthermore, it is also because of the arrogant king, you, my majesty. It was your stupid behavior of thinking that you could control the gods and trying to blaspheme that brought the royal family to this point."

"They all say you are brave? Hahahaha, they are all laughing at you. The most incompetent king of the Andara royal family has polluted the royal bloodline and turned it into a bloodline that is cursed and cannot be extraordinary!"

Hernan's words finally made the old king's face change drastically. He turned red and looked at Hernan with great anger.

"Shut up!"

The old king roared, extremely angry, because Hernan mentioned the most unrecollectible past in his heart.

He was once high-spirited, and joined forces with Archduke McReynolds to bring the Kingdom of Andara back from the edge of decline due to its proximity to the North and the Empire, making the kingdom strong again.

But later, the two parted ways, because one wanted to pursue the legendary magic, and the other began to try to push the kingdom to another peak.

During that time, the Empire's Flying Wing Canyon was very nervous, fearing that a war would break out on the Empire's weakest border.

Later, the battle of Archduke Meyers shocked the southern lands, causing the king to give up the idea of ​​resisting the empire, and even created a rift with the Holy See who secretly instigated him.

The king was unwilling to give in. He saw the power of the empire and was unwilling to be controlled by the divine power, so he found a rare opportunity in the long preparation and discovery.

How to put royal authority above divine authority?

That was the power that allowed the king to control the divine power. The king became excited and swelled. He also discovered the remains of fallen gods in an alien world.

The most powerful extraordinary army in the Kingdom of Andara, the Royal Palace Army, led by a large number of powerful extraordinary people, fought against the demons of the abyss, because those demons were also frantically trying to devour the remains of the gods.

He won, and the wise and mighty king led his extraordinary legion to destroy the demons, driving them back into the dark abyss and enjoying the precious remains of the gods.

But it was also from this moment that the pain and despair became indelible in the hearts of the royal family and the king.

Can the remains of gods be desecrated by mortals at will?

The answer is no. The legend of the Andara royal family died at this moment, and the entire army of palace knights was wiped out and turned into monsters serving the abyss.

The royal bloodline is cursed by the remains of the gods.

In their bloodline, the transcendence faded, and the powerful Andara royal family became the weakest royal family in the southern continent in just one year.

Several counts in the kingdom are more powerful than the royal family.

It's just that the hereditary majesty of the kingdom rules this land, the conflicts are suppressed by the old king, and everything is relatively stable.

Until he saw his own death and the future of the Kingdom of Andara after his death, he was unwilling to accept it, so he had so many things happen in the Griffin Mountains.

All this is because of his decision to try to blaspheme the gods and obtain the blood of the gods.

The price is that the bloodline is cursed and the royal family declines.

"I have welcomed a new great being."

Hernan did not shut up, he said wantonly:

"His glory will dispel the curse in the royal family, and I will become the new king of the kingdom. Under my leadership, the royal family will be stronger and usher in a new glory!"

"Your Majesty, my father, you are old. The series of wrong decisions you made have pushed the majesty of the royal family and the entire kingdom into the abyss!"

"And I - will save this kingdom again!"

"I will become the savior of Andara and inherit the will of my ancestors. Under my leadership, the kingdom will no longer be suppressed by the Holy See. The rights of the kingdom will only belong to me. The empire is destined to be trampled under my feet. I will Let the Andala royal family become the emperor of the world."

"I can do things you can't do."

Hernan gradually approached the old king. His palms were trembling. Even under the gaze of the gods, he still held the sharp dagger tremblingly.

"Your Majesty, I will not be as stupid as you."

"Dusk returns again, and the brilliance of dawn is dimmed in the flames of dusk. The burning heaven will rule all dimensions."

The old king was so horrified that he wanted to retreat, but Hernan's speed was beyond what he, who was too old to leave the palace, could react to.

The dazzling reflected light illuminated a dark corner of the palace.

In the pool of blood, Hernan held up the crown, and the hereditary authority was slowly placed on his head. He turned around. At this moment, his body seemed to become taller, no longer rickety, and became majestic and majestic. Supreme.

"I am the new king."

The corner of Hernan's mouth twitched, and then he slowly revealed a smile. His voice became louder and spread throughout the royal city.

"I am—the new king!"

"People..."

His voice echoed magnificently, but before he finished the second sentence, terrifying power fell from the sky, the feather dragon crushed the palace, and the holy light fell from the sky. The legendary priest Soto and the legendary feather dragon army commander Eiffel looked on angrily Hernan blocked their power with gray flames.

Their eyes fell on the old king on the other side of the ruins.

Hernan looked at the two Vatican legends who suddenly appeared, and then looked back at the old king. He seemed to see struggle and unwillingness in their eyes.

The old king had secretly contacted the two Vatican legends for a long time, and had been stalling for time, but just at the last minute, he delayed the arrival of the two Vatican legends.

Just a little bit away, the heroic old king of Andala Kingdom ended his life of ruling this kingdom.

"Are you... here to have an audience?"

Hernan looked at the two Vatican legends and said condescendingly. At this moment, everyone believed that His Highness Hernan had the upper hand on this body.

"Heretic, you will bear the eternal wrath of the morning sun!"

Pastor Soto was extremely angry. The king was dead, and his political achievements once again had another direction that could be criticized by others in the Holy Mountain. And most importantly, the person who killed the king was a heretic, which he failed to completely kill. heresy!

The Pope will doubt his ability, the Dawn will doubt his loyalty.

At this moment, Pastor Soto didn't know how to describe his anger. Perhaps only the eruption of a volcano that flooded the ocean could prove his heart.

"This is my palace."

Hernan's eyes also darkened. In his own kingdom, no one could yell at the king.

At dusk, the sky gradually dimmed, and in the gloomy dusk, a pair of great eyes stared down. He took action towards the two legends of the Holy See. Pastor Soto and the commander of the Eiffel Army did not care about the death of the angry king. Unleash divine magic against the beings of dusk.

"His power is at its peak at this moment."

Eiffel's eyes were cold, and he became even calmer. He pulled Pastor Soto and locked onto Hernan.

"Kill him, and the power of dusk will have no medium."

The magic turned and killed Hernan. The legendary power was not something that the only remaining divine will could resist.

"This is my kingdom."

Hernan was roaring, but it seemed not to be directed at anyone but himself. His control over his body was disappearing. Under this dusk time, the will of the gods prevailed.

"My kingdom, my throne, I am the king."

His hoarse roar overwhelmed the Kingdom's troops who came over. By the time they reacted to protect him, Hernan had already disappeared.

"The king is dead!"

"Long live the king!"

In the dark night, a palace attendant's exclamation made the royal city brightly lit, like daylight.

…

It was hard for Ryan to understand that the death of the king actually stopped all wars.

Not only in the Kingdom of Andala, but also in the Qianhu Province in the south of the empire, the war that had been intensifying suddenly became much quieter. Only ordinary armies were hunting and fighting, and the powerful knights and nobles no longer took action.

What's this? Traditional custom?

Ryan was puzzled, but he just saw the battlefield that was chaotic yesterday. Today, both sides began to collect the bodies, looking like they might go home.

"The death of the king is more important than anything else. The nobles in the south will send blessings. Even the pope, who will not appear when the king is coronated, will appear when the king dies, praying to the Lord of the Morning and leading the king into the eternal kingdom of heaven. "

Farrell was also very angry. His Violent Elephant Legion almost killed each other in the riot. They rushed to the battlefield, but before they started fighting, the leader of the Feathered Dragon Legion and Pastor Soto seemed to be dead relatives. As crazy as his father, he ran into the distance, causing the war to freeze for a short time.

Later, when I learned that the king was dead, I finally understood the reason.

It is indeed more serious than the death of his biological father. The death of the old king of Andala Kingdom seems not to be a normal death.

"It's Hernan."

Otto appeared next to the two of them, and Ryan glanced at the heir to the Grand Duke. Maybe he would have the experience of being a 'prince' for a long time.

"We received information that Hernan showed up at the king's palace and killed his father through unknown means."

When he said this, Otto's eyes were full of murderous intent. Killing the king would make the entire Kingdom of Andara violent, and all the anger would overwhelm the person who did it.

However, when the person who took action was the king's heir, the former heir of the kingdom, a royal highness, and now a prince serving the Dusk God, the atmosphere in the entire kingdom became extremely depressing.

Just like a volcano that was about to erupt, all the energy was suddenly swallowed up. All the nobles were shocked, disbelieving, and suppressing their anger. No one knew what the nobles would do.

This is one thing, but it seems to be two things. At the same time, each of the two things is a shocking event that can cause the wrath of the gods.

In one night, in such a short period of time, the distance between the kingdom and other places in the south was so far, but in just one night, the entire southern world knew about the death of the king of Andala Kingdom.

The extraordinary means told all this, causing many conflicts and wars to strangely stop at this moment.

As the king's enemy, Archduke McReynolds also fell into a long silence after receiving the news.

Without the old king, who can suppress the current conflicts in the Andala Kingdom? Without the old king, for whom is this war fought? Without the old king, how could the dispute between the prince and the kingdom end?

No one dared to approach this topic, but Ryan did.

He looked at Otto and asked directly.

"The king's heir killed the king, but he was a heretic outside the Dawn Faith. So now, who is the new king of the Kingdom of Andara?"

His question made those who were further away move away like snakes and scorpions, but the next moment they quietly approached, wanting to hear the answer from the next Grand Duke Griffin.

Otto's scalp was numb, he was lawless, but at this moment, Ryan's bold question actually made his cheeks itchy and his body burning.

"I……"

It was somewhat difficult for him to answer this question. Fortunately, Roland, who was not far away, was also here. Their identities could form a circle, so the distance was not far away.

"Father will have a choice. No matter who is the new king of Andara Kingdom, McReynolds' interests cannot be betrayed. We are nobles loyal to him, and he is also a king loyal to the nobles."

"The Griffin Mountains belong to McReynolds."

What’s the difference between this answer and no answer? Ryan was speechless, and then looked at Commander Farrell.

"Knight Farrel, you should have extraordinary means of contacting the emperor. Doesn't His Majesty have any orders?"

Farrell shook his head. This incident was so shocking and unexpected that the Emperor of the Empire didn't know how to order the Violent Elephant Legion.

"Maybe we'll evacuate."

He said this quietly to Ryan, avoiding Otto and Roland.

The king died and confused countless people. All decisions made before were based on the majesty and behavior of the old king, but what should we do now?

There is no clear answer about the successor. It should be clear, but there is absolutely no way Hernan can become the king. He is a heretic.

For this kind of thing, even in the empire, it is impossible for a heretic to become the emperor.

The current emperor of the empire, Columbus III, is also the Great Pope of Light, a devout believer in the God of Light, another name of the Lord of the Morning.

Even the empire at war with the Holy See has not changed the empire's belief in the dawn and the light. How can His Highness become the new king in this capacity?

The king can only choose another one, but this... is troublesome.

While the old king ordered to deprive Hernan of his rights and status, he did not appoint a new prince. Perhaps the remaining people were too useless like Hernan. He wanted to see more, but he himself Didn't wait.

Who will become the new king and what decisions will he make?

Moreover, in this process, what choices will the nobles of the kingdom make?

The old king was stupid and betrayed the interests of the nobles. According to their position, if the Duke McReynolds did not betray openly, they would all be on the side of the Duke because they were all nobles.

Then the next successor was incompetent, betrayed Chenxi's faith, and became a heretic.

Finally, as the king's heir and former heir, His Highness killed his father, His Majesty the King of the Kingdom.

Taken together, these incidents all prove the incompetence of the royal family. Under their leadership, the kingdom is heading towards the cliff of despair.

It was okay when the old king was around, but now that he is gone and dead, he can no longer stop the nobles from thinking.

Did the decline of the kingdom begin with the royal family?

"or……"

Ryan looked at Otto.

"You will succeed the Andala royal family and become the royal family of this land. The Grand Duke will become a thing of the past. You are all noble princes."

Ryan's voice was not loud, but it silenced the dozens of meters of land. The soil under his feet seemed to look better. Everyone was staring at the land under their feet, wondering how many ants would crawl out of the gaps.

Farrell swallowed his saliva and looked at Baron Ryan. He admired him very much and wanted to ask how dare you.

Ryan certainly dared.

He looked at the nobles around him.

"They followed the McReynolds family to resist the past. The price of failure was that the family bloodline became history. They might also hope that Grand Duke McReynolds would become the new king. In that case, all the guilt and betrayal on them would be gone if the old king announced and ordered them."

"And now the kingdom may not be able to choose a suitable king. You have heard countless times of ridicule against those princes."

"The nobles will not be satisfied with the appearance of the new king, no matter who he is."

Ryan volunteered and said to Otto:

"If the Grand Duke has decided, I can agree to his request and become the commander of your army."

He looked at the battlefield in front of him with great disgust.

"An army of 100,000 men, fighting like this, even if 100,000 pigs pushed over, they should have won long ago."

Master Ryan never said what he should get behind the deal, because as long as he did it, he would get what he deserved, not a single gold coin less.
