Chapter 35: Preparation
The shouts and killings outside the front hall gradually subsided, and in the huge square in front of the hall, there were corpses lying horizontally, all of which were the guards loyal to Shayeto.
The struggle for royal power is like this, ability, vision, judgment of the situation are all indispensable, and of course, some luck is needed.
Not all of these officials or soldiers who supported Sayato volunteered to join her command, some of them were entire factions on Sayato's side, and the fish and shrimp below had no choice at all.
Corpses were dragged away, and soldiers in armor carried huge buckets of water and poured them on the square and the road with a thud, and the blood spread, some soaking into the cracks of the masonry, some absorbed by the earth, and becoming nutrients for flowers and plants.
The successful person stepped on the body of the loser to sit on the throne, as long as there is human nature, the throne will be stained with blood, history is the wife of the loser, and can only be at the mercy of the winner.
A large group of trembling officials marched forward surrounded by the border army, some of them were mournful, some of them sighed, and some of them were full of grief.
"The Empire is ...... Over"
An official with an old age spot wiped his tears, his life experience told him that this was an infighting among those in power, and that if there was no new king today, the attacks of the lords and aliens who were ready to move would be ferocious, and the officials of the empire would panic, and the power system would collapse and disintegrate in a short time.
In some cases, the empire is divided into kingdoms, and worse, the lords of the Frontier rule the empire, and at worst, the continent is occupied by aliens.
The door of the front hall slowly opened, and the old god stick stood inside the door, looking nothing unusual, but the green tendons on his neck were beating.
"Lady Adgash Shayeto, crowned King of the Night in 1691 of the Dark Age!"
The old god stick shouted, and the imperial officials in front of the hall were full of doubts.
"All the officials enter the temple."
With the roar of the old god, all the officials entered the front hall, and after passing through the inner porch, they stepped into the middle hall, and they were greeted by the Lord of the Night, Shayeto, who was dressed in black armor and sat on the throne.
"Black King......
Some of the veteran officials burst into tears when they saw Sayeto on the throne, and they almost instinctively gave off their knees and knelt on the ground.
On the left and right sides of Sayeto, stood Wolfer and Walkley, one of them was dressed in red armor and the other was dressed in white, and the red armor was Wolfer, who was in charge of the military, so to speak, as long as it was an army in the empire, all under his jurisdiction.
Dressed in white is Walkley, who is responsible for finance, people's livelihood, official selection, recall, etc.
Wolfer and Walkley seem to have a lot of power, but in fact they need to find someone they trust and gradually disperse the power in their hands, and if it is only the two of them, they will not be able to keep busy even if they don't sleep 24 hours a day.
All the officials knelt on the ground, although they were full of doubts, but the new king appeared, which means that the royal power of the empire will be unified again, as long as it is stable for a few years, the alien races and lords on the border are not an external threat at all.
Just when all the officials were kneeling on the ground, Su Xiao had already walked towards the outside of the middle hall, and when he saw Su Xiao walking out, Wu Fu next to the throne subconsciously wanted to follow.
"Wolfer."
Walkley spoke in a low voice, and Woodley paused, he glanced at Su Xiao, who was gradually walking out of the middle hall, and then at the officials who were kneeling on the ground, and finally focused his gaze on Walkley.
Walkley shook his head and said, "We'...... To continue to govern the country. ”
"Yes, is that so......"
Wolfer retreated to the throne.
"That's right."
Walkley took a step forward, and half of the power of the empire was in his hands.
Inside the front hall.
Su Xiao came to the front of the hall and looked at the border soldiers who were cleaning up the bloodstains.
"You're ...... Thus relinquished royal power? Both Wuver and Walkley have your back if you want. ”
The old god stick stood beside Su Xiao, his expression relaxed, and the burden on his shoulders disappeared the moment Sayato sat on the throne.
"Don't be confused."
Su Xiao's hand was pressed on the hilt of the knife, the seizure of power was only a process, he did not come to this world to be king, if he did not die in a certain world, he would have to experience many worlds in the future, and he could not bring the royal power out of this world.
Therefore, compared to the royal power, his own strength is more important to Su Xiao, he is not a resident of this world after all.
"Although there will be silence for a while, if we enter there, the probability of coming out alive is no more than 10%."
"Silence?"
Su Xiao looked sideways at the old god stick, and those eyes seemed to be shining.
"That's right, the Dead City will be silent for a month to two months, and the inhabitants there will sleep as much as possible, and even if they wake up, they will be much weaker by the appearance of the new king."
"That's good news."
Su Xiao walked outside the palace, and the old god man sighed, and could only follow.
As soon as Su Xiao walked out of the palace, Bubuwang and Eminem, who had been waiting outside the main gate for a long time, also followed Su Xiao.
Although the seizure of power is over, what Su Xiao has to do has just begun, he wants to enter the Dead Silent City, although there are many crises, judging from the information that Su Xiao knows, he can get a lot of benefits there.
The first is the last piece of the Black King suit, and if you want to get the full Black King suit, Dead City is a must-go place.
And according to the information that Su Xiao investigated before, many extreme cultivators have disappeared in the Dead Silent City, and those powerhouses who pursue the ultimate in technique, after reaching a certain level, it is even more difficult to go any further, and their combat power is already comparable to the gods of this world, so they are respected by the world as holy cultivators.
After these holy cultivators reached their old age, they all entered the Dead Silent City, and the only known information was that Su Xiao got it from a piece of metal fragment, only one sentence.
'What we are pursuing, even in the silence of death, has no regrets in our lives, and is willing to try. ’
Su Xiao has studied a lot of extreme cultivation methods, realizations, etc., and even improved the two-level sword master with these realizations, but he only collected one of the relics left by the holy cultivator.
You must know that Su Xiao is already one of the biggest names in the empire, and what he wants to collect, there are thousands of people below who are looking for it day and night, but even so, he only found a piece of metal fragment.
In addition to the Black King suit and the remnants of the Holy Cultivator, there is another thing in the Dead City that also attracts Su Xiao, and that is the source of darkness.
Su Xiao tried a variety of methods, not to mention obtaining the source of darkness, he didn't even know what the source of darkness was.
You must know that when you first entered the Black King World, in the world profile suggested by the Reincarnation Paradise, the source of darkness and the source of the world were of the same rank.
The Source of the World allows Su Xiao to obtain true attributes, but as for what he can obtain through the Source of Darkness, it is unknown for the time being.
The true attribute is like a foundation, without the support of physical fitness, even if Su Xiao's sword skills are several times stronger than now, he can't exert too strong combat effectiveness.
The Black King suit, the remnants of the Holy Cultivator, and the source of darkness are enough for Su Xiao to venture out into the Dead City.
"Old god stick, where is the Dead City."
Su Xiao's tone was firm, even unquestionable.
"If you're going there, at least be prepared."
The old god tapped one hand on his chest and looked into the distance, ready to fulfill a promise he had made before.
