Chapter 42: The Struggle for Kingship (2)

To the west of Tekken Castle is a large area of dense mountain forest, where the royal hunting grounds of Erathia are forbidden, and civilians are not allowed to trespass.

A depressed Kendall finally finds his bloodthirsty thirst here. Dozens of knights were tasked with driving elk, boars, and even black bears from the mountains and forests, and Kendall was able to bend his bow and arrows, or chop his sword and axe until his robes were covered in blood.

"You're still the mightiest warrior in Erathia!" the generals exclaimed.

Kendall was clearly pleased with the assessment. He wiped the blood from a black bear that had just fallen with his sword, and said proudly: "If you are a warrior, you must always hold the sword in your hand, so that you can maintain the best condition......!" I can still hunt, but what about my warriors? I don't want them to spend their days holding wine glasses or stealing chickens and dogs looking for women!"

"But we have nothing to fight now!" the generals sighed.

"Why don't we help the Second Legion go to Dia to fight the undead, or help the Third Legion go to Eli to fight the demons?"

"Duke Elares has always opposed me, and even teamed up with Duke Drino of Carava to fight against me, how could I go to help his son fight?" Kendal shook his head and said, "As for those dwarves in Ere, I won't help them...... In the great battle between Erathia and Erry more than twenty years ago, many warriors never returned, including my father, Geffenhardt!"

"And are we going to let Princess Catherine and that stinky boy Adela show off like this?"

"It's not that easy for them to defeat the ...... of the undead or demons"

"Why don't we go to the Lost Lands from the portal, which has become the base camp of the demon army......"

"I do have this in mind, because the Lost Lands have always been a vassal of Erathia!, but I won't send troops for no reason, they have to promise me something, and I don't want to come back empty-handed!"

"Princess Grey, the guardian of the Lost Lands, has surrendered to Serren...... I heard that her brother Gru is still fighting!"

"He's going to make such a request!" said Kendall confidently, "and I'll keep saying no until what he gives me will make me happy!"

"Then we'll have to wait a little longer!" the generals were a little frustrated.

"But then again, in fact, I must stay in the Iron Fist Castle and control it firmly!" Kendall finally sighed after weighing it twice: "The Queen Mother is right, once I leave the castle, all kinds of forces will take advantage of the situation, and even threaten the throne of Saiya! It seems that we still have no fight to fight, and we have to continue to be nannies!"

Since you can't leave Tekken Castle, it means you can't fight...... Since they can't fight, what can the warriors do but drink and find women?

"Your Excellency, Commander, we've found someone poaching!" a knight ran out of breath.

"Ah, who's so bold? doesn't he know it's a royal hunting ground?"

"We tried to catch him, but he was too good......"

"What's wrong with your face? Don't say you hit a tree!"

"The man struck ......," the knight hung his head in shame.

"Ahh......h You guys lost the fight, I'll beat you up again!"

The daring poachers did not run away. He was surrounded by a group of soldiers, and it was impossible to know the expression on his face, which was surrounded by a scarf, revealing only a pair of piercing eyes.

He walked in circles, and with each step, the current soldiers took a step back. Although they all had blue noses and swollen faces, they still insisted on fighting him.

"Let me come!" Kendall jumped off his horse and pushed away several of the soldiers standing in his way.

"You...... Are you going to beat me up yourself?" the masked man's Adam's apple twitched, as if he was a little excited.

"Of course!" Kendall raised a pair of huge fists, his knuckles crackling, "Not only did you come here to poach, but you even beat my soldiers!"

"I didn't poach! I just wanted to come to you, but they stopped me!"

"Looking for me, do I know you?" asked Kendall curiously.

"You should know!"

"Take off your headscarf and show me what you really are!"

"I beg you to let your men disperse...... I don't want too many people to see it!"

"You have no room for bargaining!" Kendall sneered, "As long as I give the order, you will immediately become my prisoner!"

"Really?" the masked man sneered, and suddenly there was a whistle, and many men in black immediately appeared in the bushes, behind the trunks, and even on the treetops!

"And now?"

Kendall was taken aback. He didn't expect that there were so many people in ambush here, and what surprised him even more was that he didn't notice it in the slightest!

He was very confident in his keen senses, and in fact he was. His eyes were like a griffin, his hearing was like a wolf, and his feelings were like a cheetah...... This had allowed him to see through many ambushes and avoid many assassinations. But this time, almost all the senses seem to have lost their use!

He knew very well that it was not that he was old, but that the skills of this group of men in black were really superb! He weighed the pros and cons, and finally nodded: "It seems that you have won this right! You all step down, commanders!"

"Your Excellency, Commander......" The generals immediately refused.

Kendall nodded again, and the generals had to slowly retreat. The masked man waved his hand as well, and the man in black immediately ducked into the dense forest again.

No one knew what they had talked about. The generals stood in the distance, and could only see their backs, pointing fingers at each other and arguing, as if they were very excited.

Soon after, Kendall was heard yelling, "Since you insist on doing this, then well, bring those friends of your men in black to fight under the Iron Fist Castle!"

"Who is he?" the generals greeted an enraged Kendall.

Kendall's face turned pale, he took the reins from his subordinates and flew onto his horse.

"Back to the castle!" Kendall flicked the reins, and the horses began to gallop at once, and the bewildered generals had to follow him.

"Your Excellency Commander, Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please go back immediately!" a fast horse galloped ahead.

"Why? Do the old ladies want to tie me up with a rope and lead me away?" said Kendall's dark face.

"No, Her Majesty is about to give birth!" the messenger explained at once.

"Okay!" Kendall finally began to smile. He turned around excitedly and shouted to the generals: "Bless me, Lao Tzu is going to be a grandfather!"

The generals, of course, will immediately give their blessings. However, the impatient Kendall whipped a few times on the buttocks of the war horse, and as soon as the war horse was in pain, he immediately ran away, and he didn't know if Kendall heard it.

Outside Queen Seya's bedchamber, Her Majesty the Queen Mother and Laurel were waiting anxiously.

"Is it raw, is it raw?" said Kendall's loud voice in the hallway.

"I said, can you be quiet?" the Queen Mother immediately expressed her dissatisfaction.

"It doesn't look like it's been born yet!" Kendall lowered his voice, but it was still loud.

"From the time you went out in the morning until now...... "The Queen Mother said worriedly.

"What the hell is going on with her?" Kendall shouted again, "I remember when you gave birth to her, you gave birth at once, and you just soaked in urine!"

"You said it lightly!" the Queen Mother gave him a blank look: "Why don't you give birth to one?"

"I'd like to, but there's no ground to get out of......"

"Go, go, don't make trouble here!" said the Queen Mother angrily.

"Then I'll go!" Kendall began to stride, "Call me when you're born!

"He's still like that, he's always wanted boys!" Laurel looked at Kendall's departing back.

"Yes...... But I only gave birth to three girls for him, and even died of a ......" The Queen Mother's eyes were very gloomy: "To be honest, I also hope that Saiya will give birth to a boy, so I don't have to suffer this kind of torture again." ”

"Yes, a man just can't wait to do that, and when he's done, he sleeps like a dead pig, who cares about the pain of giving birth in the future......"

"You know what, Laurel?" the Queen Mother whispered, "Kendall said that if Seya gave birth to a boy, he would take him to the barracks immediately......"

"He's right!" Laurel nodded: "As the crown prince of Erathia, the little prince must stay in the barracks from an early age, live with the warriors, and fight together, so that he can get the support of the army and sit on the throne!"

The Queen Mother suddenly sighed and looked at the closed door.

"Go get some rest!" Laurel comforted, "You've been standing for most of the day......"

"I have to stay here...... Otherwise I won't feel at ease!"

Laurel also sighed: "Giving birth to a child is a woman's battle...... Let's hope Saiya can win this battle!"

"She will!" The Queen Mother nodded vigorously: "Standing behind her is not only me, but also you, and everyone...... We're all behind her!"

"Yes......" Laurel nodded.

The closed door was suddenly pushed open, and the Queen Mother gripped Laurel's hand so tightly that her nails were even embedded in the flesh on the back of her hand.

"I have to tell you, Her Majesty the Queen Mother, Her Majesty the former Queen Regent!" the chief imperial physician said sweating profusely: "Her Majesty's condition is very bad, she has already suffered heavy bleeding, and she has even been in a coma several times!"

The back of the Queen Mother's hand was covered with green tendons, and the back of Laurel's hand immediately began to bleed.

"I used healing and resurrection magic to assist in healing, and I woke her up many times, but she lost too much blood and I was worried about ......" The chief priest was full of helplessness on his face.

"No matter what, you must find a way!" the Queen Mother finally broke out.

"There's only one way...... "The Imperial Doctor gritted his teeth and plucked up courage.

"Don't tell me, I don't want to hear it!" The Queen Mother finally let go of her grip on Laurel and covered her ears tightly.

"You have to make a decision, the longer it drags on, the more dangerous Her Majesty and the child will be!"

"Go for it!" Laurel nodded to them encouragingly, "Be sure to keep Her Majesty safe!"

"Yes, Her Majesty the former Queen Regent!" the Imperial Physicians bowed and retreated.

"Oh my God, my Saiya, my poor daughter!" the Queen Mother burst into tears. [.]
