At noon, a sudden wind blew over the city of Firano, and the color of the clouds changed from white to gray and from gray to black.

"Boom!"

A low thunderclap, like a giant baby, whimpered softly in the clouds that were 'within reach'. The city of Firano soon fell into a twilight like the middle of the night!

Li Zijun, Abraham, Alec and Dongyu's important ministers stood in front of His Majesty Fergil's bed in turn, and they were all waiting for His Majesty Virgil to wake up again!

"Ahem, ahem!" After a while, His Majesty Fergill, who was groggy and groggy, suddenly coughed again and again.

Seeing this, Bach hurriedly stepped forward, picked up His Majesty Virgil, and patted him to help him spit out the thick phlegm stuck in his throat.

With a sigh of relief, His Majesty Virgil opened his eyes again, and for a moment a trace of blood began to appear on his gray cheeks.

Although everyone is used to seeing life and death, the moment they see this scene, they can't help but sink in their hearts!

"Your Majesty, how are you feeling?"

"Father, how do you feel?"

Li Zijun and Abraham took a half step forward and greeted His Majesty Virgil together.

"My time has come!"

Fergill's words directly shook the most vulnerable part of Li Zijun and Abraham's heartstrings, and their eyes immediately turned red unconsciously.

"Don't do that, I can lie down in my own bed and leave, this is already the favor of God!" Fergil smiled and waved his hand at the two of them:

"I'm running out of time, Alec, declare my will!" Virgil motioned for Bach to take out the decree and hand it over to Alec.

When Alec heard this, he immediately took the decree and announced the will of His Majesty Fergil.

Not surprisingly, Li Zijun has become the future heir of the Dongyu Empire!

"All of you go out, I still have something to talk to Ed!" Virgil waved the others out of his room after the ministers saluted Li Zijun.

Li Zijun was well aware of Fergill's intention to leave him behind at this time, and after everyone left, he knelt down on his knees in front of His Majesty Virgil's bed:

"Father, the son will never live up to your expectations, and he will definitely lead the Dongyu Empire to unify the Youlan Continent!" Speaking of this, Li Zijun respectfully kowtowed to His Majesty Virgil three times.

When Li Zijun raised his head again, he was already in tears, and when he kowtowed for the third time, His Majesty Virgil left this world with a smile!

The bell of the Dongyu Palace rang, and the entire Dongyu Empire immediately fell into a state of sorrow!

"His Majesty Virgil of Dongyu has died?!" Hearing the news, Victor was slightly stunned, and then, the expression on his face became complicated.

"Half a month ago, His Majesty Virgil died of illness!" Potter, who delivered the news to Victor, whispered.

"Report!" Potter could finish before the herald's voice could be heard outside the tent.

"Come in!"

"Everything is ready, generals, please ask for instructions: do you want to attack the city immediately?"

"Rest for a day and continue the siege tomorrow!" Victor hesitated for a moment and changed his previous order.

"Marshal, what do you say?" asked the herald, not knowing what had just happened in the tent, as he looked at Victor with a little confusion.

"I said, 'Rest for a day, and continue the siege tomorrow', did you hear me clearly?"

"Yes!" the herald did not hesitate this time, nodded yes, turned and strode out of the tent.

"Why did you call off the siege? Didn't you say it was a critical moment?" said Potter as he listened to Victor's order, slightly puzzled.

"No matter how 'urgent' it is, this day is not bad! His Majesty Virgil is one of the kings I admire the most, and I will pay tribute to him!" said Victo, who ordered a table of wine and food to be prepared.

"Are you going to pay tribute to Frigil, or are you going to celebrate his departure?"

"Both!" Speaking of this, Victor shook his head with a wry smile:

"To be honest, I'm in a very mixed mood right now, I'm a little sad and secretly happy at the same time!"

"'Grieved' because His Majesty Virgil is indeed one of the kings I admire the most, and I even admire his scheming somewhat, and I regret his departure, but at the same time I would like to hear of his passing, especially at this time!"

"The reason is very simple, first, I am glad that I have lost a scheming opponent, and second, his death will delay Edlaide's pace of attacking us!"

"I can understand your first reason, but I don't agree with you when you say that his departure will slow down Edlaide's attack on us. ”

"As far as I know, Edlaide is actively preparing for an attack on us, but all kinds of information suggest that this time should be at least half a year away. At that time, the mourning period of His Majesty Virgil was long past, and it stands to reason that it would not have any effect on Edlaide's dispatch of troops!

"Edlaide's kid is as cunning as a ghost, how could he let us easily grasp his plan to send troops?! The information you got was just a 'trick' for us, and his real time to send troops should have been half a month later!"

"Half a month later?" Hearing Victor's words, Potter's face couldn't help but change:

"Do Protector Slint and Karen know about this?"

"Of course! Actually, it was Karen who got the news first! Rest assured, they're ready to fight!"

"And, from what I know of Edlaide, this boy will be filial for His Majesty Virgil for at least a month. In this way, Karen and the others have nearly twenty more days to prepare! So, it doesn't hurt for us to just have a day off!"

"I see!" Potter frowned slightly, a look of unswerving expression on his face.

"At the moment, there are no more than five people who really know about this situation, and for the sake of secrecy, so as to deal Edlaide a fatal blow in the future, please forgive me, Master!" Vic said as he walked up to Potter and tried to bow down to him.

"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this, I will make the same choice if I change places!" Victor's appearance made Potter a little embarrassed, and he hurriedly hugged Victor.

"It's really my fault, and that's another reason why I'm inviting you to drink!" Victor smiled, and said the third reason why he ordered someone to prepare the feast!

"I heard that His Highness has a good cook next to him, so I'm going to have a good meal today!"

The two looked at each other and smiled, resolving a small misunderstanding between each other!

"Your Majesty, Victor has withdrawn his troops!" Just as Victor and Potter were 'drinking and talking', Rogge reported the situation outside the city to Marcas.

"Collect the troops, didn't you just say that the Fengqi army was already preparing to attack the city, why did you collect the troops in this moment?" Marcus frowned slightly:

"Do they have any intention of withdrawing?" asked Marcas, who hesitated for a moment, looked at Rogge.

"No!" Rogge knew exactly what Marcus really meant by asking, and he shook his head a little helplessly:

"However, I believe that since His Highness Ed has made a promise to us, there should be good news from Dongyu soon!"

"Dongyu?" Marcus shook suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly changed!

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Marcas's performance startled Rogge, and he unconsciously took a few steps forward on crutches.

"It's okay! I just suddenly thought of a possibility that Victor would withdraw his troops!" Marcas said, pointing his finger in the direction of Dongyu.

"You mean?"

"His Majesty Virgil is probably gone!" Marcus let out a sigh of relief, uttering his guess.

"Your Majesty Virgil, if that's the case, then"

"No! Even if something really goes wrong with His Majesty Fergill, I'm sure His Highness Ed won't give up on us!" Rogge hesitated for a moment, but regained his usual determined gaze.

"I don't believe so!" Marcus laughed inexplicably.

"Rogge, there's one thing you may not know, I told Ed the last time I broke up with him, and I guess it's a request. I begged him: If this happens, he must not come to my rescue!"

"Why are you doing that?"

"Because I don't want to be his captive!"

"Of course, when I talked to Ed about this, my reasons were much more high-sounding than that, but in fact, this is the real reason why I don't want him to come to our rescue!

"Your Majesty!"

"But now my mind has changed, I really hope he can force Victor to retreat!"

"Because just after Victor came here, I found that I would rather surrender to Ed, or even wag my tail and beg for mercy, than want my people to live even a minute under the rule of that bastard Victor!"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, even if the last general is crushed, he will definitely hold Santa Cruz until Victor retreats!" Rogge slammed his own chest with one hand on crutches and the other into a fist.

"Please!" Marcus stood up and bowed to Rogge in a dignified manner.

Rog didn't dodge, he didn't return the salute, he just accepted Marcas's salute so stiffly. Then, he arched his hand to Marcas, and walked out of the palace without saying a word or with a resolute face!

In the blink of an eye, one more day, His Majesty Virgil would have been dead for a whole month!

On this day, Li Zijun came to the tomb of His Majesty Virgil by himself carrying His Majesty Fergel's favorite 'Hundred Flowers Stuff' and four side dishes.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to clean up Feng Qi and the Dark Moon God Sect on your behalf, I'm afraid I won't be able to come to see you for a while in the future, so I'm here to say goodbye to you today!" Li Zijun said as he placed four side dishes and three sets of utensils in front of His Majesty Fergil's tomb.

Immediately, Li Zijun filled three wine glasses with 'Hundred Flowers Brew'! )
