Chapter 295 Rise of the Kingdom
The next day, before daybreak, the host of destruction surrounded the king's castle.The crowd with guns was black and dense, and the boundless army approached the city like waves. For those who hid in the castle, the scene must have been extremely terrifying.
The king stayed up all night.Before the sun rose, the king stood on the balcony outside the castle. Accompanied by the colonel, he overlooked the army of destruction all over the mountains and plains below. He couldn't help asking anxiously, "How did he do it? It seems that all of a sudden, his people are gone. nowhere."
He turned his head and walked towards the castle distractedly.
"Is there not a single person left in all Latvinia who has not gone to that madman?"
"...Actually, there are still a lot of people, Your Majesty." The colonel opened the door for him, and said, "We still have combat strength in our hands, but it's just that Von Doom's army is indeed large. I can only say that I will try my best , Your Majesty. I will do my best to stop him, and we will fight until the last moment."
But his statement did not reassure the king much.Rather, his tone, which sounded like he was going to the battlefield of death, made the king even more uneasy.
"But you're going to fail, aren't you, Colonel?"
The colonel pondered for a while, and said seriously: "I can't lie to you, Your Majesty, but the situation is indeed not optimistic. Our supply line with Russia has been cut off. Those expected reinforcements may not be able to arrive.
Dum seems to have not shown his full strength so far, and he still has other cards in his hand.We speculate that he may have other allies, some too powerful for us to imagine.According to intelligence, all the reinforcements heading to Latvinia were blocked by a formation composed entirely of Iron Warriors.Their firepower is too great for our allied forces to resist.They were not opponents at all, so they had to retreat back.So... I guess we're on our own. "
The king closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose in despair.
"So you're saying, our reinforcements are all gone, too," he said feebly, "and Doom hasn't even shown his power yet. Great, maybe I should just open the gates now and walk with the white flag myself Get out before the 'Iron Warriors' blast my door."
"It's not necessarily that hopeless, Your Majesty." The colonel said, "We have been fighting Doom for more than three months, but the mysterious force that sent the steel formation has never intervened in this war before. Only when we asked the allies for help, they When reinforcements were sent to us, that force stopped them. But even so, they did not directly attack our army."
The king thought for a while: "You mean that Doom's allies may not interfere in the war within Latvinia?"
"I think this is very likely." The colonel nodded, "If this is the case, then we still have a chance of winning. We have no need to fight against that unknown force, but if we are only facing Doom's army, Maybe we still have a chance. We are on a high ground in the castle, occupying a geographical advantage. As long as we stick to this castle, there is no chance of winning."
The sun had gradually risen, and a ray of golden light came in from the open balcony.The king looked back at the thin sunlight and couldn't help sighing.
"It's been 400 years." He sighed, "For 400 years, this city wall has never been breached."
"But in 400 years, no one has encountered the enemy we face." The colonel said.
The king slumped weakly in his chair and pondered for a while.
"Colonel," he said, raising his hand suddenly, "quick, let your fastest cavalry go and bring my sons."
The colonel bowed: "Yes, Your Majesty."
The king looked at his back and said to himself: "Maybe my reign has come to an end, but my bloodline must continue. My sons must leave the city before dawn, they must... must Escape from this doom."
The king has been forced to accept the harsh truth that his reign has come to an end.He had better mentally prepared for defeat, and he had also thought about what to say when facing Doom who broke through the city gate.
But it wasn't until dawn the next day that he discovered that he hadn't been prepared for what happened.
The sun rises above the mountains, and the warm light illuminates the green forest and splashes on the ancient castle that has stood for 400 years.Two armies faced off at opposite ends of the field, ready to go like bulls in a bullring.
The old king looked down from the highest point of the castle, and the colonel personally supervised the battle behind the city wall.But when the horn of battle sounded and the order to attack was issued, they discovered that...
No one moved.
The two armies are still facing each other.The sunlight protruding from behind the clouds moves their shadows inch by inch, and time seems to be stopped.
Then Doom moved.
Alone, no army, no cronies, only him.Doom walked out of his army step by step, his cloak fluttering behind him, like a belated king walking towards his throne.When he came to the king's army, no one dared to stand in his way.Like the Red Sea divided by the staff of Moses, the armies automatically backed away to make way for their brand new king.
All the way without hindrance.The whole process did not cost a single soldier on both sides, and no one fired a single bullet.Doom swaggered like this, walked into the castle through the main gates that had been opened for him, and came to the old king.
He didn't use any of the weapons on the armor, only his own hands, vengeful hands wrapped in cold steel.He pinched the king's neck, watched the old man struggle in pain, and felt his life force draining away in his palm.During the whole process, the king's cronies and guards stood behind and watched, and no one shot to stop him.
The king breathed a sigh of relief.Doom put aside his corpse and gave a soft snort of disdain.The king's colonel led the guards and knelt down, saying: "The king is dead, long live von Doom. I and my army are at your disposal, my lord."
Doom ignored it.He turned his head and looked somewhere in the palace. Michael had leaned against the pillar of the palace at some point.
"Congratulations, Victor," he said, "you finally got your wish."
"Part of it." Dum's tone eased, and he was no longer as cold as when facing other people.He walked over with his hands hanging in the cloak, "And without you, I...may have to take a lot of detours."
He might have meant to say "I couldn't have done it without you," but when he finally said it, he changed it by a ghost.
"So what's your next plan?" Michael asked.
"Next, Latvinia will glow with new vitality under my leadership. Within half a year, I will make it the entire Eastern Europe, no, one of the most powerful countries in the world." He looked at Michael , meaningfully and authentically, "But no matter where this country develops in the future, you will be credited for it. Latvinia will never forget me and your help. So what I want to say is"
He seemed to find it difficult to speak, and subconsciously turned his gaze away.
"...I would say that from now on, Latvinia will be your ally if you need help anywhere."
Michael was a little surprised, and subconsciously took another look at the new king.
Then he couldn't help chuckling.
While Doom is clearly the unspoken type, it does seem like he takes their friendship seriously.
To someone like Doom, this might seem unthinkable, but it's not surprising when you think about it.Just because he is such a person, because he has no friends or relatives in this life, and because he has almost nothing, so he cherishes what he only has so much.
Michael tapped him on the shoulder.
"I see. Then I thank you in advance," he paused, half-jokingly said, "Your Majesty the King."
