Chapter 91: The Price of Kingship

"Get up, get me up, dead fat!"

Outside the city, Phoenix struggled to grab the old king's shoulders with his claws, and a huge crack that appeared from the center of the royal city was sweeping towards him. The walls that had been towering at both ends were already halfway in.

"Who do you say is the fat man!" The old king blew his beard and glared, this wild chick that came out of nowhere was so rude! Phoenix's drag had no effect, and the old king sat outside the city, not bothering to get up—how could he run through the cracked earth with his old arms and legs?

But at this moment, his heart is extremely relaxed.

His ancestors came to the land and grew a small village of a few dozen people into a powerful country, and under Dima's leadership, it built a towering city of steel. If you put aside the humiliation and white eyes he has suffered over the years, this magnificent scene is the goal he pursues.

The ambition that he had failed to achieve in his life was realized in the hands of Dima.

It was also his son who made him see clearly the price of realizing his ambitions, the woman he loved the most was in a different place, the daughter he loved the most was wandering alone in the imperial capital, and the eldest son who had high hopes was also transformed into a cold-blooded and brutal monster step by step by his ambition.

The old king watched as the familiar palace was reduced to ruins, and the billowing smoke obscured everything in the city.

His ambition was over, and after this war, the vitality of the East was greatly damaged, and this was probably the outcome that the church wanted to see the most. He could even foresee the end of the east - the brutal prince was defeated by the hero, who saved the country from his hands. And he, as the king of the east, will atone for his original ambition with death.

This is the ending that makes him sigh and reassures him.

"It's too early to die!"

The dove shouted, then coughed up a mouthful of poisonous blood. Nightmare's abilities spread to almost every corner of his body, and the only remaining consciousness he had was maintained by the consciousness given to him by zero. It's a very peculiar situation, because theoretically he's dead, and he's saying these words as a dead man.

The old king was light, and when he came back to his senses, he had already been erected on top of the ruins of the outer wall. The ground he had been on turned into an abyss, and the cracks went beyond the city gates, spreading unabated into the market area.

"Zero, dove...... You guys!"

The dove sat paralyzed on the ground, and when he knew that he was going to die, the words that he had not dared to say before came to his mind for a while: "The king's land has fallen to the field it is today, and it is all caused by you...... Actually, you've always known it in your heart, haven't you?"

In the dove's opinion, the old king had countless chances to redeem himself.

As long as he had ever shown compassion when he sent Dima into all sorts of dangerous situations, perhaps the outcome would have been different. Dove has watched Dima grow up, watching him go from a kid who longs for his father's approval to a tyrant who plays with the whole East to applause.

"You are a good king and the worst father I have ever met. ”

The dove raised his index finger and pointed at the cracked ground in the royal city.

The black scales on Dima's body were gone, her clothes in tatters, and mottled wounds all over her body. He stared at the glare sun with his eyes open, motionless.

"This is your last chance. ”

......

"Kroll. ”

Dima glanced at her right hand, which was hanging on the ground, and tried to lift it, but there was no response.

Not long ago, his proudest defenses were destroyed, and his entire kingdom was in ruins. He called out to Kroll in a hoarse voice, but no one answered him.

"Kroll has fled. ”

Ophelia's eyes were filled with pity. Another person who had been poisoned by the Chaos Cult, she had been accustomed to such situations in the years she had been on her mission. When the Chaos Cult realizes that something is wrong, it immediately tears up the original agreement and disappears without a trace. Whatever agreement Kroll and Dima have reached, it is no longer counted.

Dima is not the first, and certainly not the last.

"Coward. In this situation, Dima even grinned and laughed as if no one was around. He stumbled to his feet with his remaining left arm on the ground.

The loss of his right hand was only a minor injury to him, and he could still fight!

For a true king, as long as consciousness remains, his war will not end.

"That's enough, Dima!

The voice of the old king was heard on the city walls, and Princess Angel stood beside the king, looking at her brother with curiosity, for the first time she had seen the tyrant whom everyone in the east feared. As a child, she heard Dima's name from countless people, but her father always prevented them from seeing each other.

Dima's gaze crossed over the two of them and stopped at Zero.

"Master Dima......" Zero's whole body stiffened, no matter how many times she had rehearsed it in her heart in advance, when she really met, she still couldn't dispatch the extremely complicated emotions in her heart.

"Stop, there's room to turn back, Dima!" said the old king in a loud voice, "The past is my fault......"

"What are you talking about?" Dima interrupted him, laughing exaggeratedly as if he had heard some funny joke: "Hee-hee-hee-hee, are you supposed to be ...... You sympathize with me, right? I have always taken your teachings to heart!"

If the sword breaks, it will strangle the enemy, if you lose your hands, you will kick the enemy to death, and if you lose your legs, you can bite the throat of your enemy with your teeth.

The king can do anything but surrender.

"You're making too much of a fuss. ”

What's more, it's just that his right hand is a little weaker—"Only losers wag their tails and beg for mercy, don't you tell me? Don't confuse me with those people! I still hold everything in this country firmly in my hands!"

The black scales quickly covered Dima's left arm, his eyes turned scarlet, his left hand bent into a claw-like shape, and the void clawed, the ground under everyone's feet suddenly tilted to one side, Ophelia frowned slightly, stretched out her hand to block the oncoming strong wind pressure, and the sand and dust raised swept the survivor soldiers in the ruins into the air.

"Be careful!"

Zero was shocked, grabbed the old king and Angel, and led the two to hide behind half of the city wall.

"No one...... Judge me in my kingdom!"

In the midst of the sandstorm, Dima's wild laughter gradually stopped, replaced by a dragon roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth, the huge wings that covered the sky and the sun blocked the sunlight, and the sharp dragon claws tore everything around him to shreds in an instant, and the scarlet dragon eyes ignored everything except Ophelia in the ruins.

Ruler of the earth.

The black shadow above the royal city evokes Phoenix's long-term memories, and even the coercion that shakes the heart is the same as it was at that time!
