The roof of the main hall of the palace of Dorodo is a four-sloped roof structure, the floor is paved with smooth brown-yellow and black triangular stone slabs, and there are two neat rows of circular load-bearing columns in the hall, the column body is pitch black, but the column head and base are brownish-yellow square structures, and the surface is carved with some triangular continuous patterns, which are similar to the patterns on the Dorodo banner. In addition, there are tapestries hanging on the walls depicting the heroic stories of the country's legends. The high throne faces the main entrance in front of the main hall, and under the inner roof above the throne, there is an abrupt square decorative beam, and the surface is also carved with triangular continuous patterns, and the style of the whole hall appears sharp and cold.

The back door of the Great Hall is hidden from the wall behind the throne, so it cannot be seen by anyone standing in the temple, and cannot be found until they go around to the back of the throne.

King Dorodo, with his close guards, passed through the gate with torches and hurried to the Great Hall. But as soon as he entered the spacious hall, and before he could reach the middle of the hall, the main entrance of the main hall was rushed open from the outside with a "bang-". It was the Nuland nobleman who was approaching, Noro Gingele, followed by a strong general, black and oppressive, with an awe-inspiring and orderly military appearance, even if the victory was in hand, he was still quietly and vigilantly watching the movements around him.

Through the gap in the crowd, Les saw King Dorodo on the opposite side at a glance, shivered violently, and before he could think, he instinctively took several steps back, and quickly hid himself behind the Nuland soldiers. Fortunately, King Dorodo's attention had been completely taken away from Noro, who was at the forefront, and he did not notice the existence of Les.

King Dorodo's gaze locked tightly on Noro's face, but Noro was calm, as if strolling leisurely, unmoved by the two thorny gazes.

"Who are you?" King Dorodo raised his sword and pointed it at Noro on the other side, his face grimacing.

"Noro Kingele. Norro was blunt.

Although the other party's name has long been heard by thunder, it is the first time that they have looked at each other so closely. Six years earlier, there had been a war between Nuland and Dorodo, but Nuland was led by King Mian and his two princes. On that occasion, because the two princes deliberately concealed the military information, King Mian was encircled by Dorodo's army, and if Noro hadn't rushed to support in time, Mian would have died on the battlefield. Of course, Noro did not forget that the trap at that time was carefully set by the king of Dorodo in front of him. As for whether the two princes of Nuland had colluded with King Dorodo, Noro didn't bother to find out, that was the truth that even King Mian didn't want to find out, so why should he do anything more? Anyway, no matter what the truth was, the result could not be changed. It was probably from that time that King Ian of Nuland grew depressed until he finally died alone.

"It turned out to be the elite soldiers of the Jingler family, when did you buy those traitors? I wonder which ones they are?" King Dorodo, though vicious and suspicious, was not a fool. Of course, he understood that even the army of the Jingle family, which was famous in the Eastern Continent, could not quietly break into the hinterland of Dorodo and approach the palace as if it were no one. In fact, he had never trusted anyone, no matter who it was, he would never let it go, but the reason why he said so many things was just to delay time, hoping that the king's guards outside the palace would be able to rush to support.

Noro looked at King Dorodo with an expressionless face, and said unhurriedly: "You will know soon, don't wait for reinforcements in vain, the leader of your escort team is afraid that he will not come." Have you forgotten that Dorodo's right to transfer and send troops is in your own hands? Without your orders, the 10,000 guards would naturally have no one to drive them, and they are probably still outside the palace gates, not daring to act rashly. ”

"Hahaha......" King Dorodo suddenly burst out laughing gloomily, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Do you think that other than the traitors who have been bought, the other nobles will watch you take Dorodo for themselves?"

"You're right, they won't. But ......" Noro frowned slightly, holding back the cough that was about to blurt out, and there was not the slightest weakness on his face. "They have to defeat my warriors before they have a chance to come to your rescue. Why don't we sit down and wait together to see who gets here first? ”

King Dorodo couldn't help but clench the sword in his hand, and his cloudy eyes glared at Noro viciously. Noro's beauty made him jealous and disgusted, and he fell into madness again, and cursed to himself: Why, why should he get everything, and I was betrayed because of my ugliness? They must have looked down on me, so they would not serve me as king, it must be so......

One moment he was still confronting Noro, and the next moment he was muttering to himself inexplicably, and even Noro couldn't help but be a little surprised. Although standing in the same hall, Noro was at the entrance of the main entrance, while King Dorodo and his guards stood in the center of the main hall, and there was a subtle distance of about ten paces between them, and Noro could barely hear what he was muttering to himself.

King Dorodo seemed to have forgotten everything around him, and he fell into a fantasy, and Norro had to stand by in silence and watch. The atmosphere in the main hall became very awkward, and there was no tension between the two armies at all, but fortunately, this strange atmosphere did not last long before it was broken.

When Rod and Muqi appeared with another army of the Gingler family, escorting a dozen Dorodo nobles with their hands tied and disheveled, the awkward silence in the hall was broken by a reluctant insult. The soldiers inside couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, especially the group of overwhelmed guards behind King Dorodo.

Those disturbing rebukes were naturally directed at Rhodes, and the scolding had not stopped since Rod broke into the door with Mu Qi and dragged the sleeping nobles out of bed one by one.

In the midst of the uproar, King Dorodo finally regained his senses. He had hoped that these men would be able to resist at least for a while, but he did not expect that they would all be escorted to him in disheveled clothes. As soon as the nobles saw King Dorodo standing unscathed,

The invective that resounded through the hall suddenly turned into a cry for help.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty save us......"

"Save me, Your Majesty......"

"Save Me ......"

"Hmph, it's all useless!" King Dorodo's gaze swept contemptuously over the wailing nobles, looked at Rhodes standing next to Muki, stared at him fiercely for a long time, and suddenly sneered, "Rod Ackroy, I really didn't expect it to be you!"

King Dorodo had never taken this nobleman to heart, who would only immerse himself in the study of medicine, because he seemed to be the least threatening, and he would do anything he had told him in silence, never disobeying orders, and never talking much, honest and obedient. Although King Dorodo never trusted anyone, it would not be strange for anyone to betray him, but he did not expect that the leader would be Rod, only this was unexpected.

"Yes, Your Majesty, it is me. Rhodes bowed respectfully to King Dorodo, his tone still as modest as before, as if nothing had changed.

"You'll regret it!" King Dorodo gritted his teeth, eager to pounce on him and shatter Rhodes to pieces.

But Rhodes was calm and always looked respectfully at the mad King Dorodo, and his tone was as gentle as ever, and he said: "Although I have betrayed Your Majesty, I will never regret it in the future, because this is the path I have chosen, and I must be faithful to my ideals." ”

"Hehe......" King Dorodo laughed grimly again, turning and slowly walking towards his throne. The sword in his hand hung down to the stone floor, and the sound of the blade cutting across the stone face mixed with the disturbing laughter of King Dorodo, constantly echoing in the wide hall, the atmosphere was strange and creepy.

King Dorodo ascended the steps step by step, and finally sat down on the high throne again. He knew, from the moment Rhodes escorted those nobles across the main entrance of the main hall, he knew that he had no chance of winning. Of course, he also knew how the nobles below who were asking him for help despised him behind his back, if he was not the king of Dorodo, if he was not holding Dorodo's military power in his hands, those people would probably not even disdain to disobey him? He is the king of a country, but there is no one in the whole country who is truly loyal to him, and no one is willing to serve him. At the moment when everyone betrayed him, only the high throne was the only place left for him to give him the dignity that a king deserved in his last moments.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, he is crazy and paranoid. Only he knew that at this moment, he was extremely sober inside. He had become acutely aware that this was his end, and all the hatred was reminding him that these people were about to take away the only thing he had.

The nobles were indignant and frightened when they saw that King Dorodo on the throne had never been moved by their situation, but they had no choice but to continue to condemn Rhodes in order to vent their hatred.

"Rod Akroy, is your ideal a betrayal of the country, and is your conscience worse than that of a lowly slave?"

"You must want to monopolize those virus weapons and sit on the world, right?"

"Seeing that Your Majesty is about to go on an expedition, but you colluded with foreign enemies and betrayed the motherland at the most critical juncture, causing Dorodo to lose the opportunity to unify the world and promote the prestige of our country, you are a sinner of Dorodo's eternal years, and you will definitely be stinted for ten thousand years......" The nobles spoke out indignantly.

Rhodes was not angry, and let them bury him, but secretly lamented: "I don't want to betray the motherland, but it's a pity that the world that you have destroyed will definitely not be the world I expected." ”

Noro obviously didn't want to waste any more time listening to the nonsense of the Dorodo nobles, and he didn't want to speculate about the reason for King Dorodo's madness and trance, he suddenly took two steps forward and said to the Dorodo guards under the throne: "If you don't want to die, lay down your weapons immediately and step aside, otherwise, after my words fall, you will have no chance......

"Hahaha......" I didn't want King Dorodo to suddenly go crazy again, I saw his face distorted, raised his long sword, pointed to the top of the main hall, and shouted, "Do you think that if I die, I will be able to occupy my palace?"

Before Noro could figure out what he wanted, King Dorodo threw his sword at the square ornamental beam above the throne. The seemingly huge and heavy beam was easily broken. A large amount of grease mixed with sawdust gushed down from the fragile rift and splashed in all directions like a waterfall, immediately startling the guards beneath the throne. No one expected that the huge and heavy square beam was not solid, but a very cleverly camouflaged hollow beam. No one expected that the beams would be filled with flammable grease and wood chips, which may have been designed at the beginning of the construction of the main hall, right?

The nobles of Dorodo and the palace guards in the palace were all shocked, and King Dorodo's mind had always been dark and unpredictable, and they obviously didn't know it. The group of guards beneath the throne were drenched in the gushing grease, and the torches in their hands caused the flames to spread all over their bodies, burning them into burning men in an instant. The panicked guards instinctively threw the torches out of their hands and fell into the spilling grease, which quickly engulfed the main hall with the flow of grease......

Noro decisively ordered: "Withdraw from the temple!"

The fire was fierce, and although the Jingler family army was close to the main entrance of the main hall, they almost failed to retreat. The raging fire was accompanied by billowing smoke, and in the blink of an eye, the entire hall was filled. The people who escaped from the palace were still in shock, and they could vaguely hear the terrible screams of the palace guards who had not had time to escape, as well as the crazy howl of King Dorodo: "This is my palace, my throne, no one wants to take it away, everything here belongs to me......"

Standing on the long stone steps outside the temple gate, Noro looked back at the red-burned hall, and sighed almost inaudibly, "What do I want your palace to do?"

Actually, Noro didn't intend to kill him, but King Dorodo wouldn't believe it even if he heard this, right? Even if he did, he would choose death, right? Because royal power is the only dignity in his heart...... Then, Noro withdrew his gaze and walked down the steps without looking back.

In the end, Rhodes was the only one who stood at the bottom of the steps, staring at the palace that was gradually consumed by the flames for a long time, and no one could understand the sorrow in his heart, and could only sigh secretly: "Maybe your paranoid inferiority complex has harmed you, but isn't this a relief? From now on, you don't have to live so painfully again......

By the time Rod came back to his senses, Noro was already directing the soldiers to fetch water to put out the fire. They kept pouring water on the buildings on both sides of the basilica to spread to other places with a fire prevention force, but with little success. Because, King Dorodo had already built a wall to connect the buildings on the left and right sides of the main hall, blocking all possible roads to the back of the palace. King Idorodo's temperament is likely to leave some secret escape passages leading to the outside of the palace in the dormitory, but even so, it is only his own secret, and no one else can know. Therefore, I am afraid that the rear will not be able to be rescued, and before long, half of the palace will be destroyed in flames. The only good thing is that the fire is surrounded by the towering palace walls, and it should not affect the rest of the city of Tari.

Rhodes was stunned, and walked back with his head bowed, and was unexpectedly bitten hard by a person who suddenly pounced. He couldn't help but be startled, and when he looked sideways, he saw a Dorodo nobleman with his hands tied behind his back biting his arm. The soldiers of the Kingler family were busy fighting the fire, and for a moment they were negligent in guarding against the Dorodo nobles who were resting their hands on the side, so that he was able to pounce and bite Rhodes.

"You traitor......!

The nobleman of Dorodo bit and cursed, but Rhodes did not dodge or dodge, and stood there and let him kick and bite and scold. It wasn't until Mu Qi, who was not far away, found that the situation was wrong, so he hurried over, wanting to pull away the Dorodo nobleman who was biting Rod, but he didn't want the person to bite him so tightly that he couldn't pull it away for a while. Rod's arm was already bleeding, and I was afraid that a piece of flesh had been bitten off.

"Let him bite. Rod said without moving.

"Are you also crazy with King Dorodo?" said Muki, looking at Rhodes in bewilderment.

"If he doesn't let him bite me hard, how can he vent the hatred of the country in his heart?" Rod looked indifferent, his eyes were sad, perhaps the mental pain had already surpassed the pain of the body, he didn't even look at the bloody arm.

Mu Qi sneered: "I'm afraid what he hates is not the loss of the country, but the unsatisfying desire for power and unrealizable wishful thinking, right?"

Rod still said with an unchanged face: "No matter what they hate at the moment, it is the same for me, and it can't change the fact that I am treason no matter what." ”

"Hehe......" Mu Qi suddenly understood his moral dilemma, and couldn't help laughing, "Speaking of which, I'm also a traitor, but no one in Kenon dares to bite me so justifiably." Aren't you angry that they do this to you?"

Rod's blue-gray eyes gradually revealed unrepentant firmness, and he smiled bitterly: "I'm just insisting on what I think is right, and they're just doing what they think is right." Although we disagree with each other, I don't think I need to be angry. ”

Hearing this, Mu Qi couldn't help but be in awe. He now finally understood why Noro had willingly taken such a huge risk to come to Dorodo just because this man had suddenly run to Nuland and said a few words. He couldn't help but empathize with emotion: "Even if you think you are doing the right thing, sometimes you still have to be accused by thousands of people and bear the infamy of history......
