Chapter 291: Calling You King
The old king was in terrible condition, with a huge gap in the right waist. From that gap, you can even see the perisquializing intestines, only half of the liver remaining, and the lumbar vertebrae that have been broken in two.
This is undoubtedly a fatal wound.
It's not that the people around you are not receiving emergency treatment. Martin even saw the No. 1 bottle of holy water next to his bed, with only empty bottles and residual liquid left.
Apparently useless, for the huge wound was filled with a terrifying aura of darkness and a ring of turquoise slime. Near the inside of the wound, a circle of golden divine aura confronted it, which did not allow the decay to spread further.
Martin immediately looked at Lilith, the goddess of the lake, beside him.
"This is a wound caused by the high-level artifact of Naigh, the Lord of Corruption! The basis of healing is to drain the life force of the wounded. If I was in my heyday, maybe it would be okay...... Now ......" Lilith shook her head regretfully.
The muscles on Martin's face twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt a lot of emotion when he looked at the old king, who was rude, fat, and even elevated by vassals, and had always looked more like a mascot.
As a modern human traverser, he lacks the sense of loyalty to any superior who is willing to give his life for it. This does not mean that Martin is not grateful to the old king. If I hadn't received his full support at the beginning, maybe there would not be the current Lorraine Collar.
At this time, Martin had a thousand words in his chest, and finally it turned into one: "Well, I'm here." ”
"I heard the cheers of the soldiers...... Has the enemy been defeated?" the old bear smiled bitterly as the corners of his mouth lifted.
"All the giants, trolls, and giant spiders of the enemy have been killed by me. Martin replied calmly.
General Carlos added: "The commanders of the various knights and infantry regiments are directing the pursuit in order to achieve maximum results. ”
"Boy, you are worthy of being the strongest in our contemporary Baccaria!" Obviously mortally wounded, the king was even gasping for breath, but his face was full of smiles: "Yo, the great hero of the Lorraine family, won't you introduce me to these beauties next to me?"
In fact, the people in the big tent had already paid attention to several special women around Martin.
"This is Lilith, the goddess of the lake, who now walks the mortal world in the form of a sage. "The first thing to introduce, of course, is the goddess, whether it's out of courtesy or respect.
Lilith was suspended in mid-air, and the jade feet without shoes were just dangling in the air, making a smiling expression and nodding, and that was the end of it.
This is the difference between status and status, and Lilith can't get too close to these people present, because the king's side has all believed in the Red Knight.
This is avoiding suspicion.
When they came in, the other people in the room had already set their eyes on Lilith, who was in a state of flux. At this time, it was confirmed that in addition to the mortally wounded king, General Carlos, the witch Maritrus, the monks of Sigmar, and several of the attendants all bowed in unison.
"This is Princess Karna Lopez, the Empress-elect of the Rick Empire. Next, we will stand on the same front as our country on the attack of chaos. Martin continued.
No one was stupid, and Carlos and other mature people also noticed the pattern of Karna's armor. The one who bears the family crest of Deathclaw, known as the strongest griffon in history, can only be a member of the Rick family.
Martin has been closed for so long and doesn't know the current situation, Carlos and the others have already received the news: because of the protracted civil war in the Rick Empire, coupled with the attack of chaos, the main gods Sigmar, Ulrick and Tal who are believed in by the three major factions of the civil war have already agreed on this matter - the word 'designate' of the empress-elect can be removed soon.
What else can the people do, continue to salute.
Karna didn't put on a show, after all, her current status is just a princess, and she is facing a king. She first saluted King Keane with the appropriate courtesy.
"Karna Lopez has met His Majesty Kurt. ”
"Ahem...... Excuse me. Just order whatever you want here on the battlefield. I'm a dying old man anyway. Keane waved his hand.
Martin stretched out his hand to introduce the last guest: "This is Valrhona Linge, the princess of the Wood Elf Lin Ge clan. Perhaps there will also be cooperation in the fight against chaos. ”
"I've seen Your Majesty. To outsiders, Valrhona timidly bowed. She behaves like a standard Wood Elf at these times, with a sense of alienation from anyone else.
Another princess!?
Carlos: Their brains were almost stuck, and they couldn't turn around.
No matter how stupid you are, Martin is definitely not easy now.
"Good! good!" the old king coughed, and then he suddenly looked at the equally golden king's armor beside the bed.
This is the long-lost glory of the Kurt family, and since the millennium war, the Kot royal family has not had any meritorious deeds. Perhaps it was also in the Millennium War that the best knights died with the previous king, breaking the inheritance of many knights.
The armor, which had been trimmed countless times and symbolized royal power, was placed there quietly.
The old king subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab it, but it was so difficult that it seemed to be close to the end of the world. A thousand years of regret, because of the inferiority complex of failure and incompetence, his heart had to be trapped in the small palace in the royal city.
"You know what? Martin, all three of my sons are dead. Keane suddenly broke the shocking news: "My second and third sons are lying in the morgue tent in the back. God gave them courage, but it did not give them the opportunity to develop the talent commensurate with that courage. The only thing I am thankful for is that they did not tarnish the reputation of the Kurt family until their death. ”
Carlos next to him added: "I received news this morning that His Highness was assassinated by a vampire who believes in chaos during the court meeting yesterday. ”
Martin was stunned when he heard the news.
The king has only three sons, doesn't this mean that the direct bloodline of the royal family of Kurt is about to be severed?
First, the Rick Empire's awesome human emperor Carl Rick was poisoned, and then the men of Keane Kurt's family were all wiped out. This has to make people suspect that it is all a conspiracy of chaos.
Before Martin and his wife could finish their studies, an even bigger bomb was dropped by the king.
"Martin boy, I'm sad to see Rick's mess. Especially at this time when the Chaos camp is launching a full-scale attack, Bakaria, who is already weak, cannot be chaotic. So while I'm still alive, I'm going to hand over Bakaria to you - Martin Lorraine!"
Martin was really not mentally prepared at all, his pupils first dilated rapidly, and then rapidly narrowed.
There are no more ups and downs in life than this.
