Chapter Seventy-One: The Fate of the Kingdom

I don't know if it was out of tease or contempt, the army of monsters from the Savage Lands did not drive straight into the border fortress after breaking through, but chose to stay where they were.

The soldiers who had been deliberately let go brought back the heavy news, and a dark cloud of fear and despair instantly enveloped the entire kingdom, and the hourglass of death began to flow, and the day of the end was three days later.

The nobles who had been divided all over the country had unanimously stopped the civil war, and it no longer mattered who controlled the kingdom at this point, because it would not be long before the entire kingdom would be destroyed.

As a relatively small and closed country, the southern part of the Duchy of Basol is the Grand Canyon known as the "Labyrinth of Death", which is impassable, so there is only one way to escape the country.

That is to take the sea route.

The people of the kingdom had never been more like-minded, and almost everyone packed up their money and rushed to the nearby port. The ports were also flooded by the influx of large crowds.

If anyone profited from the chaos, it was perhaps the captains of the ships, who took the opportunity to charge staggering boarding fees, so that only the wealthy nobles and wealthy merchants were able to board the ships, and the common people were discarded like garbage.

People of low birth do not deserve the right to live, and this is the true portrayal of this moment.

Three days may be a short time, but it seems too long for those who are waiting for death, the prosperity of the past has fallen, and the song and dance of the past are only lamentations and cries.

People are tormented by despair, as slow and painful as Ling Chi, and this may be the real purpose of the monsters for three days.

"Kodoff, don't you really run away together, there is only one way to die if you stay!"

In the palace of the royal capital of Fenggu City, a richly dressed noblewoman said sadly to the young king, she was none other than the Queen Mother Caroline of Kodev III.

"Queen Mother, how can I say that I am also the king, I have the obligation to protect this country, and Uncle Delnis also died because of me, I don't think the Garem family will welcome me."

The young king smiled faintly and hugged his mother one last time.

"This country is originally yours, and it is your mother's family who is sorry for you."

Queen Mother Caroline choked and lowered her head, she used to spend almost all of her time on squandering and enjoyment, and ignored her son at all, but at this time of life and death, perhaps the motherhood in her body was stimulated, and she cried sadly.

"You'll always be my mother anyway, well, it's almost time, go and board the ship."

If he continued to look at his mother, he might not be able to hold back his tears, so before reaching the limit, Kodev III turned his gaze to the maid beside his mother and sincerely asked.

"Be sure to take care of the queen mother!"

The maids nodded tearfully, and helped Queen Caroline into the carriage bound for the port.

Queen Caroline lifted the curtain on the carriage window and watched her son's figure until he grew smaller and disappeared from sight. Although she is full of indebtedness to her son, she still chooses her life without hesitation between accompanying her son to his demise and continuing to live. Turning her gaze to the cart full of gold and silver treasures, she turned her mind to another, more practical question, that is, she did not know if the money would be enough for her to continue squandering in other countries.

Kodev III bowed silently in the direction of his mother's carriage. The entourage who saw this scene was deeply moved by his filial piety and couldn't help shedding tears.

"Has the tribute wine in the palace been delivered to the ships?"

Kodev III stood up and confirmed to his attendants.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it has already been sent, and since they have all abandoned Your Majesty, why should Your Majesty give away all the best wine in the kingdom? It's too cheap for them! ”

The attendant next to him said angrily.

"Good wine should be reserved for those who live, since the country is doomed, it would be a pity to keep it."

Kodev III smiled bitterly.

"Your Majesty, you are so kind."

"Then, you should each run for your lives, it shouldn't be too late to leave."

"Your Majesty, people of low status like us can't board the ship, so let's accompany you for a while."

The squire's words seemed so calm that they couldn't hear any fear, and they must have been fully aware.

"Thank you very much, so if you want to die, you must die bravely, and let those monsters know how powerful our Principality of Basol is! Help me inform the generals and ministers who are still in the city that I am going to hold the last Imperial Council! ”

As the last king of the country, Kodev III said solemnly, his figure was full of the bearing of a king, perhaps more dazzling than any king in the past.

When the attendants, who had obeyed his orders, rushed to deliver the message, and there was no one else around, Kodev III suddenly showed an unpredictable smile.

"I'm sorry, Mother, and all the nobles, I personally poisoned the wine I gave you, the crime you committed should have been beheaded for public display, let you die without pain now, I am so merciful in this way, please be grateful to Dade, hahahaha."

He said so softly as if he were talking to himself.

An hour later, on top of the palace hall, which could accommodate nearly 100 people, there were only a few people who could be counted with one hand, showing the coldness and desolation of a kingdom that was about to perish.

The men who remain in the abandoned palace are the new ruler of the kingdom, Lanka Kyrgyzstan, the former bachelor and current prime minister of the kingdom, Ossaith Ilod, the border guard Adrien Biles, and the legendary warrior "Lord of Might" Geaus.

"Are you the only ones left in the entire kingdom, I really don't know if it's gratifying or sad."

Kodev III looked at the deserted hall and said with some teasing.

"Your Majesty, no matter what, we will live and die with this country."

Lanka bowed deeply and replied in a firm tone.

"This is the kingdom established by my lord, as long as my generation still has a breath of air, I will definitely protect this country!"

Geous swung his shield sword vigorously, he would not abandon his master's hard work.

"Thank you so much, do you have any suggestions for the attacking army of monsters?"

Kodev III nodded gratefully.

"Your Majesty, according to the old man's view, the only way to do this is to distribute weapons to all the people who can fight, so that the whole country can fight together against the enemy. The elderly and children who are unable to fight should also find a relatively safe place for them to take refuge. In addition, it is necessary to gather all the adventurers in the kingdom, they are the main fighting force against the monsters, and they must not be scattered all over the country. ”

Prime Minister Orseth stepped forward and said.

"Your Majesty, I also thought that another person might be able to help us, although it is a little inappropriate to leave the king at this time, but I also beg Your Majesty to let me go to him."

"Lanka, you're talking about Mr. Carter."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Well, you really need the help of someone as powerful as him now, Lanka, you can go, but be sure to go and get back quickly! During the absence of Ardrien, Lanka, the soldiers in the royal capital and the soldiers left by the major nobles were under your command, and they were all arranged in the royal capital. Prime Minister Aossaith, adventurers please contact us and ask them to come as soon as possible. Sit here, Lord Geous, and give hope to all of us that I will fight the monsters to the death in the first cities of this kingdom! ”

Kodev III stood up and shouted impassionedly.

"Yes! Your Majesty! ”

In response to the king's will, people with different missions began to act
