Chapter 149: Killing.
Not long after the king's death, hundreds of goblins gathered in front of the palace of the kingdom of Sanzan, and they were divided into two factions, one was obviously the forbidden army of the palace, wearing animal skin soft armor, guarding the palace, and the other group, the goblin soldiers dressed in black, who were dressed in black.
And the ordinary goblins, who basically wore no clothes and only a few pieces of torn fur to cover their bodies, had long been hiding far away, secretly observing the two waves of people facing each other.
"Stand.... Stop!This is the palace, you can't come in casually!" The number of forbidden troops in the palace is obviously insufficient, and in the face of black-clothed goblins who are several times their size, the squad leader who shouted is completely lacking in confidence when he speaks.
"The king is dead, and from now on there will be no more kings in the kingdom of Sanzan. At this moment, from the center of the black-clothed soldiers, a black-robed goblin walked out, and it could be seen from the colorful rune circle on the surface of his black robe that this was a priest of the Rune Sect, and this group of black-clothed soldiers who besieged the kingdom were obviously subordinate to the priest to some extent.
"The Chosen One... King... How is this possible?" the leader of the forbidden army could not believe what the priest said, the king was chosen by the god of runes, how could he say that he was dead?
"In order to usurp the throne, the king killed his father, and after obtaining the throne, he oppressed the people, expropriated and extorted, did misdeeds, and even deceived the god of runes. The priest replied with a blank face.
"But... But—" The Captain was still shocked, unable to believe the priest's words.
"Get out of the way, I'm your commander, all you have to do is obey!" Get out of the way!" the priest roared, and walked straight into the Praetorian formation, followed by the black-clad warriors.
The priest was right, he was indeed the commander of the squad leader, and just half a year ago, the priest took over the position of head of the city defense army from the king, so the captain of the forbidden army usually saw him more often than the king himself.
After all, the squad leader was cowardly, he didn't dare to perform his duties, so he was pushed away, without the squad leader's order, the other forbidden troops didn't dare to move, and could only watch his commander walk into the palace with a team of black-clothed soldiers.
The Goblin Priest walked into the kingdom with a group of soldiers to have no peace talks, and he accepted the White Wolf's order to kill all the royal family, and all the royal family members basically lived in the royal palace.
"The first team, you are in charge of the left, the second team, you and I are in charge of the center, the third team, you are in charge of the right, remember, only kill, do not set fires!
The three teams each accepted the order, carried the sharp knives they got from the white wolf's territory, and walked into their respective caves, and it didn't take long for the sound of screams to be heard from the caves.
"I.... What did you do?" the leader of the forbidden army looked in the direction of the palace in despair, listening to the miserable screams coming from his ears, he knew exactly what was going on inside.
The team leader felt that it was best for him to pray to the god of runes that the king was really dead, otherwise if the king returned, he would definitely die a miserable death.
The squad leader's prayer was naturally valid, not because the god of runes heard his prayer, but because the king had indeed been killed, and after killing the king, Passerby A did not lead the army back, but usurped the military power and continued to attack the Grand Duke's fortress.
It is a taboo for soldiers to change in battle, not to mention killing generals in battle, it is all thanks to a large number of clergymen distributed in the army, passerby A was able to control the army without mutiny, and then capture the last Grand Duke fortress, which is already the limit of what he can do.
The fortress would not have been so easily captured without the Thunderstorm Miner provided by the White Wolf, made of thick stone blocks in an irregular three-dimensional shape with many holes for archers to shoot arrows out, these holes were rough and rudimentary, and the size was uneven, but this was the limit of what the Goblin Craftsman could do.
Even so, this fortress is not something that ordinary goblins can break, and the grand dukes rely on the fortress to protect their territory, which is also the reason for the long-term feudal division of the goblin kingdom, and after the appearance of the thunderstorm mining machine invented by the white wolf, this situation was finally broken.
The death of the king was a great blow to those who came to pay their respects to him, who had seen their idols crushed into pieces, so that passers-by began to read the king's crimes, and the goblins did not react and maintained their cheering postures.
These goblins could not understand the rune technology, and in their opinion, it was none other than the mysterious Flying God Throne that killed the king, and in the eyes of these goblins, this Flying God Seat represented the power of runes to some extent, and being killed by it meant being denied by the Rune God.
Through this cult ritual-like assassination method, the White Wolf not only destroyed the king on the **, but also denied the status of the king in a religious sense, and at that time, in order to temporarily compromise, the White Wolf gave the title of the Chosen One to the Goblin King, and has now successfully recovered him.
The deposed king, who had both religious and secular power, no longer had any authority, but he still had merit to the White Wolf's current domain, the Grand Dukes had all been wiped out, the mountains of power in the kingdom of Sanzan had been swept away, and a bottom-up, centralized theocracy was gradually taking shape under the control of the clerical class.
The situation of the Babbling Kingdom and the Kingdom of Ezan is also very similar, passerby B and passerby C are carrying out a coup d'état over there, and the headquarters is set up in the white wolf's cave, if something unexpected happens, the reserve team on standby at the border can quickly go into battle, led by the fox, they are equipped with the strongest firepower that the white wolf can provide, and no goblin can escape under their attack.
In this way, the coup d'état is carried out in the territory of the three countries in a bloody and swift manner, and the white wolf is patiently waiting at the command table for the final result, if the coup d'état goes well, then it means that the day is not far from gaining enough forces to attack the human empire.
