The Golden Dragon Will Never Take It For Granted - Chapter 123
In the early morning, the king of Manopura was watering the flowers in the garden. Beside him, a beautiful young woman was feeding the flying birds with some crumbs, looking peaceful.
At the moment of the war, the king does not seem to panic, and is quite leisurely watering the flowers in the garden. It seems that Manopura, who was trampled by Casilda’s cavalry, is not his country.
“Princess has worked hard.”
The king put down the kettle, put his face close to the young woman, and hugged the princess to help her up.
The princess froze when she was hugged by the king, but she quickly relaxed, lying in the king’s arms and letting him pick it up.
The king of Manopura was fifty or sixty years old. Although his skin was white and tender, his old face was full of wrinkles, and the picture of the two embracing each other was not very beautiful.
“Why? Why didn’t you kill me? I’m King Casilda’s sister, why didn’t you kill me?”
The princess lowered her head, tears streaming down her bright eyes.
She was forcibly married to a bad old man by her brother, and she was extremely resistant in her heart. Now she was abandoned by her brother, and her life could be taken away by the old man behind her at any time.
“Beauty, don’t cry, it doesn’t look good if you cry. Although your brother broke his promise and attacked my country, I believe you are innocent. Why should I punish you?”
The king gently wiped away the princess’ tears with his hands.
“Since I have married you, you are my eternal princess. Only death can separate us.”
The king whispered affectionately in the princess’ ear.
See the truth in the face of disaster.
The old man who originally made the princess extremely disgusting, has now become bright and stalwart in her heart, because he is the only one who did not choose to abandon her.
Just when the king and the princess were talking to each other, a waiter walked into the garden with his head down, knelt down on one knee and reported.
“Your Majesty, Prince Patrick has come to see him with a battle report from the front.”
The king frowned slightly, and was very impatient that someone would disturb his Yaxing at this time, but it was not good for the neighboring prince to disappear with the battle report.
“Princess, go back to the palace first, and I’ll find you as soon as I get things done here.”
The king patted the back of the princess’ hand and instructed.
The princess nodded reluctantly and stepped back, she also understood that the battle on the front line was more important now.
“Let them in.”
The king sorted out his clothes, put his hands behind his back and gave a commanding command.
“Yes!”
The waiter stepped back.
Soon, a handsome and elegant prince walked in worriedly with a fully-armed female knight.
“Your Majesty the King.”
The prince and the female knight saluted respectfully.
The king nodded, and his gaze stopped for a while on the female knight’s bumpy figure wrapped in armor.
“I heard that you have a battle report from the front line? Isn’t the strength and provisions of the Casidal Kingdom not fully mobilized?”
The king withdrew his coveted eyes and looked at Patrick and said.
“Yes, according to our informants left in Colchester, King Casilda will not wait until the food and grass are ready to fight, but will fight quickly and fight to support the war. Calculate the time, maybe today. We’re going to march, so I’m here to quickly inform the king.”
Patrick frowned worriedly.
“Oh? Is that so?”
The king touched the brightly blooming flowers and thought for a moment.
“Unfortunately, we have to wait for the bishops to detect the nobles and adventurers who are about to participate in the war before we can send troops with confidence. I don’t want to encounter someone who turns his back and is attacked instead.”
“I can understand your thoughts, but Your Majesty, shouldn’t we send some elite troops to block Casilda’s army first?”
Patrick suggested.
“Tomorrow, all troops will be able to gather for testing. Why should you worry, His Royal Highness, although Casilda is powerful, she will not invade the royal city in one day. If you are really anxious, you can also send your subordinates there first. I believe you.”
The king shook his head and looked at Patrick. He was not worried that the edge of the kingdom would be occupied by Casilda, as long as the final result was good.
“My troops?”
Patrick hesitated. Colchester was destroyed. He took the remaining hundreds of knights and fled to Manopura, hoping to accept asylum and find an opportunity to counterattack Casilda and rebuild Colchester.
The only remaining knight is his last trump card and the only person he can trust. If he is sent to the front alone now, he will suffer heavy losses.
“If His Royal Highness has no other problems, then go back first. Tomorrow will officially set off. You should have a good rest and spend more time with your sister.”
The king squinted his eyes and said, and his tone already had the meaning of seeing off a guest.
But Patrick didn’t give up, he said firmly to the king.
“Your Majesty, I think you don’t seem to pay enough attention to Casilda’s army. Thinking of us in Colchester, with the strength of the whole country, my father went into battle and still couldn’t stop Casilda’s iron cavalry half a step.
Now I heard that only half of the nobles who responded to the call came to the capital, and most of the adventurers were only black iron and bronze. Do we still have to give up the frontline people now?
And I heard that you shielded the princess and did not kill the sister of the king of the enemy country, which undoubtedly strengthened the nobles’ idea of escaping the war.
I suggest that you execute the princess immediately to make clear your determination to fight Casilda to the death, and send elite troops to support the front line. I am willing to lead the army to go first! ”
“Prince Patrick!”
The king turned his back to his height and said, “You are nothing more than refugees from the country. It’s just that I kindly entertain you with the etiquette of entertaining the neighboring prince. You’d better not point fingers at my decision.”
Seeing the king’s anger, Patrick knelt down on one knee and pleaded, and the female knight also bowed her head and knelt down on one knee.
“Your Majesty the King!”
“roll!”
The king grabbed a bunch of broken leaves and threw them at Patrick. Patrick didn’t dodge and let the broken leaves sprinkle all over his hair.
“His Royal Highness, let’s go first.”
The female knight pulled the corner of Lapatrick’s shirt distressedly and persuaded.
When Patrick saw the angry king, he knew that he was impulsive. He was not even a minister of this country. How could he disregard the king’s face and teach the king to do things.
“I was reckless, please forgive me, Your Royal Highness.”
Patrick quickly withdrew after he pleaded guilty.
After the two left, the king turned his head calmly, as if it wasn’t him who was angry just now.
Of course he understands Patrick’s thoughts, but the real war is not the bite of teeth and claws between the weak.
Manopura’s army itself is not stronger than Casilda, and there is a gap in the top combat power. The key is to attract the powers above the legendary to join the battle.
But the real powerhouses in the Eastern Continent are all in the church, and His Majesty the Pope has ordered that unless they are members of the royal family, the church is not allowed to participate in wars between countries.
And the legendary powerhouses outside the church are almost all distributed in various countries, and will not shoot for other countries.
Even if the king opened the treasure house for a while, it would be difficult to find a powerhouse above the legendary level, but he still kept a backhand.
The reason why he didn’t kill King Casilda’s sister was because he didn’t want to offend King Casilda to death. Even if Manopura was occupied, he might be able to pick up a manor and become a nobleman in another place.
Although it is not as good as the king, at least there is no need for food and clothing.
The king suddenly remembered that the Metropolitan had hurriedly found him last night, saying that he had caught a magician in the capital, and his strength was at least above the gold level.
Although magic is strictly controlled in the Eastern Continent, of course the king knows how powerful magicians are.
Almost no other profession at the same level is a match for a magician.
If he can find a legendary magician to help, even if he can’t kill any of the two legends of the Casilda Kingdom, as long as he uses a large-scale magic to slaughter an army and cause the Casilda Kingdom to suffer heavy losses, it can also be relieved. Crisis in Manopura.
Just as the king was meditating in the garden, there was a faint scream from the palace in the distance, and then several waiters hurried into the garden.
“Your Majesty, beware of assassins! Her Royal Highness has already been assassinated!”
“what!”
The king was shocked. He did not expect that King Casilda would do such an amazing job, even killing his own sister.
“Quickly protect me!”
The king blocked the servants from coming around him. The assassins of the Casilda Kingdom were notoriously powerful, but he never thought that there would be assassins who would dare to come to the capital to assassinate the king and princess.
Although the king himself has a gold-level fighting spirit, he is a battle force that has been piled up with various medicines. He has never practiced martial arts, and he has been hollowed out by wine.
After all, he himself did not expect himself to go to the front line to fight.
In the shadows, a pair of red pupils were lying in the flowers and staring at the king. He himself just came to execute the order to assassinate the princess, but he didn’t expect to pick up a big fish.
However, before he left, he found that the world in his eyes began to distort, turning into a clutter of colors, and there was a chaotic noise in his ears.
He knew that he didn’t know when he was exposed.
The assassin couldn’t see anything in front of his eyes, but based on his memory, he was able to escape from the palace by instinct.
He stood up gently, but the next moment, an orange-red arrow pierced through his body.
Moments before his death, he suddenly remembered a legend about Manopura. It is said that everyone who encounters the legendary archer will lose their direction and die under the arrow in chaos.
DeWitt put down the bow and arrow in his hand, he felt the panicked king shook his head in disappointment.
As early as when the assassin entered the palace, he had already discovered the assassin’s whereabouts, but he did not take action immediately, but waited until after the assassin assassinated the princess.
As a legendary powerhouse, Dewitt is not loyal to the king, he is only loyal to Manopura, he does not want the king to have any retreat, because he does not want Manopura to perish.
……
On the frontiers of Casilda, where the former Colchester borders Manopura, King Casilda is already on the front lines to prepare for war.
But at this moment, there is a fierce quarrel going on in the royal tent.
“Why did you send someone to assassinate your sister? She is your own sister, and she didn’t make any mistakes!”
A middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance and extremely ordinary clothes was scolding the king of Casilda.
If anyone from Casilda was present, they would feel that this scene was very incredible. Someone would scold the king, but the king rubbed his head and said nothing.
The king of Casilda was a young man in his twenties. He was so obsessed with martial arts and state affairs that he didn’t even marry and have children.
“I watched you grow up, princess, she was such a lovely little girl, but you gave it to that old man of King Manopura, and now you send someone to assassinate her, I really can’t understand, power Is it so important to you!”
Harlan looked at the king who had no remorse in front of him, and felt extremely tired. He felt that the king was even more like an assassin and more cold-blooded than him.
He has killed countless people, both young and old, men and women, or people who are powerless, but he has never killed his relatives and brothers.
“Uncle Harlan, you didn’t take my place, you don’t understand. I can’t be weakened by a woman, Manopla must be under Casilda, and the king of Manopla must die under my sword.
Sister, she will die sooner or later. It is better to die under the assassins I sent. At least she will die without so much pain, and it can be regarded as a great contribution to our Casilda. ”
King Casilda said calmly, not having the slightest turbulence in his heart for his sister’s death, as if she was just an irrelevant stranger.
His emotions are naturally weaker than ordinary people, but he thinks this is the reason why he is strong and has a greater desire for power.
With the annexation of Colchester and Manopla, Casilda’s territory expanded, with more resources, enough to support the national strength of a powerful country, and then break through the demigods, and even get the Pope to come in person Coronation~www.mtlnovel.com~ And all this is just sacrificing a woman, King Casilda thinks this is a really good deal, and everything is easier than practicing vindictiveness.
Harlan took a deep breath. The king in front of him since childhood was the most diligent, hard-working, and most talented person in the royal family. Several of his brothers wanted to kill him, but Harlan secretly protected him.
But such an ambition and character don’t know whether it’s a good thing or a bad thing for the people in the kingdom.
Harlan felt like he was getting old, and he seemed to have stayed in the kingdom for too long. He no longer had the cold and cruelty he used to be, but had more compassion.
Weakness is a taboo for assassins.
“Maybe you’re right, sorry, Lord King.”
Harlan lowered his head and said softly.
“Don’t be sorry, Uncle Harlan, you are a great hero of the kingdom. Without you, I would not be where I am today. You will never regret seeing Casilda reach the pinnacle of history.”
The king said arrogantly.
If it weren’t for the church to prevent wars between powerful countries, he might even put his ambitions on the entire continent.
“Now, let’s take down Manopura first. Pass my order, the whole army marches forward, and all the cities that resist on the way will be slaughtered!”
