The majestic Fort Carmel still stands above the ground, strong and immortal, the impregnable walls and the countless arrow towers besiege Fort Carmel to the ground, as the capital of the entire Fort Carmel County, the capital of the Great Emirate of Carmel, the strength of Fort Carmel makes everyone tremble.

But Fort Carmel now feels a little oppressive, with thunder in the dark night sky, and the occasional crow chirping seems to bring misfortune.

The Grand Chief of Fort Carmel on the hospital bed was sick, he looked so sluggish that he could hardly even speak, his heart had shrunk to the extreme, and his body could barely move.

Of course, the witch doctors of this era did not know what the miniaturization of heart function was, they only knew that the gods had sent divine punishment on the old chieftain, and that the unquenchable disease was the messenger of the gods.

They could only pray that the gods would be able to calm down their wrath and restore the sickness so that the Great Chief of Fort Carmel could regain his health.

"How is my father now?" Lopur, the eldest son of the Grand Chief of Fort Carmel, hurriedly asked when he saw the priest of the Shijom Sect coming out of the house, and he looked a little anxious.

"It's not good, we've done everything we can, but we can't get rid of the disease." The priest shrugged his shoulders, there was nothing he could do, he had used the herbs, he had tried bloodletting, and prayers were all the time, but the angry gods did not seem willing to spare the old chieftain.

He was also terrified in his heart, could the great chieftain, who had once made those Catholic dukes so jealous, really die like this? Helpless to die in a hospital bed?

"How could it be...... ...... like this" Lopper's face turned miserable, and sorrow came from it, and he was a little choked up for a while.

"Crying only makes you weak, and it's useless beyond that." The priest shook his head.

"I'm sorry, I lost my temper." Lopur hurriedly wiped away the tears from his eyes, he couldn't show this gesture in front of others, otherwise it would greatly reduce his prestige, especially when his father was about to die, it would be fatal to him.

"I understand your feelings, come on in, the Great Chief wants to see you." The priest of Hiyom waved his hand and finally left, he needed to return to the temple to find a cure, though he knew that there was a good chance that he would not find such a being.

Hearing that the Grand Chief of Fort Carmel and his father wanted to see him, Lopur hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.

The smell of various herbs inside the door came one after another, mixed together, and the smell was very strange and uncomfortable.

But Lopur didn't have the heart to frown and leave, he just set his eyes on the old man on the hospital bed.

The figure that could fight on the battlefield when he was young was rickety, and his eyes that were once bright were full of confusion, and it seemed that he would lose consciousness and return to the arms of the gods in the next moment.

"Pople, my child...... You're here......" The Grand Chief of Fort Carmel saw Lopple, and even noticed the tears in the corners of his eyes, and his heart couldn't help but be relieved, and his face was full of emotion.

He has three sons, but in the end, only this son is willing to stay by his side and cry for himself.

"Father...... I'm coming......" Lopper seemed to be about to hold back tears as he knelt beside the bedside of the Grand Chief of Fort Carmel, holding his hand tightly.

The hands of the Grand Chief of Fort Carmel were very rough, after all, after a lifetime of fighting, holding a sword became the most important thing in his life.

As he grew older, his skin slackened, and Lopur's hand was so weak that it could be lowered at any moment.

"Father......" Lopur couldn't help but call.

"My son...... I'm about to return to the arms of the gods, are you ready......"

"What?" Lopur was a little confused.

The Grand Chief of Fort Carmel suddenly became serious, and Lopur instantly felt that the person in front of him seemed to be the young Grand Chief who scolded Fang Xuan when he was young, and that was on the same status as the Duke.

That kind of temperament made his heart tremble, and only those who sit on the throne all year round can develop such a temperament.

"My son...... When I die, you will be the heir to the Great Chief of Fort Carmel, ruling over the Great Emirate of Fort Carmel, and Fort Carmel will be the place where you rule directly, my title, are you ready to inherit it? Fort Carmel's voice was stern, he knew that his son was a little weak, and that something had to be forced.

As he asked, the room fell silent, and the Grand Chief of Fort Carmel waited quietly for his son's reply.

"Father, I ...... Ready, I will be the Great Chief of Fort Carmel, the ruler of this castle, and all the people of the Great Emirate of Fort Carmel will submit to me! Lopper jerked his head up and looked at the Grand Chief of Fort Carmel, his voice sonorous.

This time, the Grand Chief of Fort Carmel was stunned, and he looked at his child blankly, as if he did not expect such words to appear in Rapple.

Only then did he smile, and he was very satisfied with Loppel's answer, that an ambitious ruler is always good, and a ruler without ambition will only be said to be cowardly and will not be able to obtain the allegiance of his vassals.

"I'm glad you could say that, Lopur." The Great Chief of Fort Carmel, who was tormented by his illness, smiled with difficulty, and if a little girl was here, she would have been scared away by this creepy smile.

"But it's one thing to have such thoughts, and it's another thing to be able to do it." Speaking of this, the Grand Chief of Fort Carmel patted his clothes, a little regretful.

"Son, I have laid a solid foundation for you, at least you can rule Fort Carmel, the capital of Fort Carmel, rule this county from the beginning, and this rule is extremely powerful, no one in Fort Carmel will disobey you, and your brothers and sisters, they only have an ordinary castle as a stronghold, and their respective strength is far inferior to yours." The Great Chief of Fort Carmel slowly closed his eyes, he was not a blind person, and naturally knew that once he really died, then the Great Emirate of Fort Carmel would definitely fall into chaos, not to mention anything else, his other two sons would definitely be opposed, they only hoped that they would sit in the position of the Great Chief.

But he could not change anything, the Great Emirate of Fort Carmel and other emirates had the same method of succession, which was divided into successions, that is, his title and domain would be divided equally among all his sons, and his title would be inherited by his eldest son, so that the whole country would be weakened, because the power could not be concentrated.

The only change he made was to make his vassals loyal to his eldest son through contracts and promises.

But he knew it was useless, and his other sons had a castle in their hands, each ruling over a third of the Great Emirate of Fort Carmel, and they had a powerful army, and they were all good at war themselves.

And what about his eldest son? In his eyes, he was very satisfied with his filial piety, but he was really a little cowardly, and he didn't dare to think about how much of a crisis his eldest son would cause if he was really captured or escaped in the front line, and his brothers would swallow him to the point that there was no meat left.

He had no doubt that no one would care about family affection under such a huge temptation to rule the entire Great Emirate of Carmel...... Perhaps, but he knew his sons wouldn't.

"I've heard that those brothers and sisters of yours have begun to get restless, those things that are looting everywhere...... It's their army in disguise. The Grand Chief of Fort Carmel tapped his fingers slightly, making a slight noise.

Lopur was terrified, he didn't expect his father to be sick in his hospital bed, but he knew so well what was happening in the territory.

"Yes, father." Lopur nodded, in fact he was very angry, his father was already sick like this, and his brothers and sisters did not care, and at this juncture they were still trying to loot around to accumulate enough money and weapons to facilitate the rebellion afterwards.

"Okay, it's useless for you to stay here, go out, let those priests in, you should show more face in front of the vassals, I shouldn't live long, it's up to you next, take advantage of the remaining opportunities." The Grand Chief of Fort Carmel waved his hand, slowly closed his eyes and lay on the bed.

He had done enough, and when he inherited the title from his father, the old Grand Chief of Fort Carmel, he was in a worse position than Lopper, but he was forced to fight by his own strength.

Even when a quarter of Fort Carmel was still in the hands of the old Duke of Ritzland, he had to fight it back, which gave him the title of hero for the rest of his life, and he considered himself worthy of it.

His eldest son, though a little cowardly compared to his siblings, had his blood in his veins after all, and he believed that Lopur could do the same.

"O gods of the Shiyom cult...... Are you in such a hurry to summon your followers to the temple to serve you......" The Grand Chief of Fort Carmel's breathing became lighter and lighter, and Lopur did not dare to disturb his father any longer, so he left the room softly, and called the priests of the Shiyaum Sect who had remained at Fort Carmel back in so that they could heal their father.

"My brothers and sisters, you really make me angry, I will definitely regain the honor, let the banner of Fort Carmel be planted all over Fort Carmel County, you will not be able to stop me!"

On the way out, Lopper's eyes flashed with rage, and at this moment his fighting spirit was completely aroused, followed by killing intent......
