Chapter 138: The End of the King
The first time Xiao Chen saw Franco and the Graham brothers face-to-face was in the stronghold above the Nameless Valley Road.
By this time it was already dawn, and the one-sided killing that had taken place in the valley had been over for an hour. Frank and Gram are covered in blood, this blood not only comes from the enemies they destroy, but also from the many wounds on their bodies, after they killed the emperor, they also fought with the Blackguards around them who wanted to kill them to avenge the emperor, in this battle, the Blackguards loyal to the emperor showed the momentum of seeing death as home, although the realm is not as good as Frank and Gram brothers, but basically fought out the family elite they brought, and also injured both of their brothers not lightly.
However, Xiao Chen was also busy all night, and now he had the opportunity to meet them.
A few hours ago, Xiao Chen was actually outside the valley, of course he would not pin all the tasks of destroying the enemy's living force on Luo Ling and Mao Kai, in fact, the team of archmages he led had already hidden their bodies and followed behind the imperial people. Behind them are the tireless Soul Warriors and Ghost Warriors.
When the magic light rose in the valley, they did not hesitate to start attacking the Imperial army from behind. As the Franko brothers in front shouted the news that "the emperor is dead" early on, fear soon spread among the imperial army. The Imperials collapsed quickly under multiple blows of morale, terrain and combat effectiveness. Of course, there were some Imperial warriors who chose to fight to the end, but these people only slightly delayed the defeat. When the group led by Chang Yujie caught up, they saw the imperial soldiers fleeing all over the mountains.
It took Xiao Chen and the others less than an hour to defeat the imperial army, but it took a whole night to chase and capture the fleeing imperial soldiers.
The pursuit and capture operations are still going on, but Xiao Chen, as the acting chairman of the Tower of China, must deal with the battlefield uprising of the Franko and Graham brothers. He specially transferred Duke Weber from Heimu Pass to meet with the Franko brothers.
The stronghold hall on the top of the hill was a little cramped, and it was a little crowded with more than a dozen people gathered inside.
"I've seen Chairman Xiao Chen, Liu Yisheng Sage, other adults, and my father. Frag and Gram respectfully saluted Xiao Chen and the others. However, they had just killed the monarch, and their spirits were still in a very excited state, and Xiao Chen could clearly feel the restlessness of their mental power.
"Your Excellency Franco, Your Excellency Gramm, I did not expect that because of your father's letter, we would meet again in our current capacity so soon. Xiao Chen said, "But don't you need to treat your injuries first?"
Graham said: "Chairman Xiao, please don't care about our injuries, the most important thing now is how to take advantage of the situation that the emperor is dead. ”
Franko held up a ring in his hand and said, "Yes, that tyrant Alfred is now dead in our hands, and it is in this storage ring, do you need to check his identity now?"
"Good. Xiao Chen replied briefly, he knew that Liu Yisheng and Luo Ling had seen how Emperor Alfred died, but in the magic world, there were too many things that could blind the senses. Even he himself was able to use the world of meditation to create a scene that was fake. Therefore, it is necessary to confirm the identity of the emperor, and whether the emperor is dead or not is related to a series of actions after the Tower of China.
Luo Ling said: "Go to the courtyard outside, I saw that he died very miserably, so don't be in the room." ”
Franko walked a few steps to the door, released the headless body of Emperor Alfred, and put the torn off half of his head aside, and a bloody breath came to his face, even those present had seen all kinds of big scenes. But to see the emperor who rules an empire lying there like a puddle of mud is somewhat embarrassing.
Even Franko himself was stunned for a moment, and the excitement, excitement and a bit of arrogance in his emotions just now subsided.
Duke Weber walked over and sighed softly, "Your Majesty......"
Luo Lingsu waved her hand lightly, and the image of a humanoid figure appeared beside her, and under the surprised gaze of Weber's father and son, it slowly changed into the appearance of Molet, the leader of the Black Guard. Since the existence of the spirit attendant requires the spiritual power of the host, the overall situation of the battle has been decided, and they have returned to the meditation world of their respective hosts. Morette was summoned again and said calmly, "Your Excellency Luo Ling, Chairman Xiao, colleagues...... There are also Duke Weber, Franco, and Gramm. Did you summon me here to confirm the identity of this corpse?"
"Yes. Luo Ling said.
Morette walked towards the Emperor's corpse lying on the ground, picked up the half of the head despite the blood, and used his hand to brush away the Emperor's blood-soaked hair that stuck to his face.
The emperor's face did not have a chin, his forehead and cheekbones had been shattered, and his eyes were like two bulging blood blisters, completely lacking his previous handsome appearance. But Moret still recognized the people he had been serving. Even though he was reprimanded, abandoned by him, and finally switched to the camp, he still couldn't help but shed tears.
"Yes, this is him, His Majesty Emperor Alfred, ruler of the Purple Eagle Empire. Morlett looked up at Gramm, "I didn't expect my words to really lead to such a result in the end." ”
Gramm opened his mouth, but couldn't get out half a word, and finally turned his head away.
Xiao Chen said: "Since his identity has been confirmed, let's put him away, whether it is returned to the empire or handled by our side at that time, it will be a matter for later." ”
"Now I want to know the reason why Franco and Gram revolted on the battlefield, after all, you have always been the nobles of the Empire, and you are still fighting with us during the day today. And what do you want from the Tower of China through this uprising?" Xiao Chen asked very directly.
"Emperor Alfred is a very young monarch, maybe his problems have not been exposed before, but in this war it has exposed a terrible part of his character, because of the previous series of defeats, he no longer trusts my father, us, and our whole family, my father was thrown off the roof of the building by him before, and Gram was almost thrown into prison by him when he lost the previous battle of the city gate. After this war, our family was in danger. We cannot allow the ultimate fate to be in his hands. Franko said, "The two of us have received a letter from our father after he was captured by you. Let's surrender to the tower of China. But after discussing it with my brother, I decided that surrendering was not a good idea and that we should be able to do more!"
