Chapter 310: The Fall of Gold

Chapter 310: The Fall of Gold

Chapter 310: The Fall of Gold
August 8nd, Red Castle, the royal capital.

When the news of Duke D'York's coronation as king came, the capital was shaken like an earthquake. Many nobles immediately evacuated the inner and outer cities and headed to Nak County together to draw a clear line between themselves and the Red Rose Family.

The once solemn Red Fort was in chaos.

The newly formed Rose Knights had no fighting spirit. On the one hand, they were taught to be loyal to the king and their family since childhood, and on the other hand, Modres swore an oath of allegiance. The two titled knights joined forces, and the king could not stop them no matter how hard he tried.

The servants and maids packed up and ran away. The nobles and the people left in a hurry. The entire inner city became desolate and dilapidated overnight. The alchemical defense runes on the inner city walls that took more than a dozen generations to carve lost all meaning in the blink of an eye.

The Red Keep was deserted.

The queen was holding the ninth prince in her arms and had already boarded the carriage, preparing to return to Wyatt County in the Bourbon Kingdom to join her father. As she was still a princess of the Bourbon royal family, she would at least not have to worry about food and drink in the future.

"Your Highness, you should run as well. The chaotic land is full of barbarians who eat raw flesh and blood. Who dares to stay in the inner city?"

Margaret looked at Si Ning outside the window. As the "remnant of the previous dynasty" and the royal butcher, Princess Cecilia might not have a good end if she stayed.

"Haha, don't be nervous." Si Ning said indifferently: "Maybe one day you and His Majesty will come back."

"Thank you for your good words." Margaret's eyes were filled with tears. She had just been regent for a few days, but who would have thought that it would only be a temporary glory.

Watch the queen and the guards leave.

Si Ning turned and went to the royal treasury.

A tall figure stood at the door, with an excellent figure. Perhaps because he realized that hunting suits were more convenient for movement, this guy deliberately picked a black suit, but his temperament was still cold.

Si Ning walked over and put his arm around his shoulder, saying with a smile: "Prime Minister, please think of a solution. The ambition of a king will become a dream of the past."

Jiang He had a helpless expression on his face. The three letters in his hand turned to ashes when they were caught in the fire. They should have been sent to the Minister of the Sea, the Flame-Eater and the King of Bourbon respectively, but that was on the premise that Modres had not surrendered. Without this titled knight to drag the battle line and delay time, any diplomatic means would not be able to work in time.

According to Lilith, the further back in time one goes in the Extraordinary Era, the more obvious the generation gap becomes. The bronze powers can still fight to the death with ordinary silver powers, but when they reach the level of silver powers, the gold powers can only think about how to escape when facing a direct enemy. As for the normal peak silver powers, they would have died in the corner long ago.

[Tip: The royal family members in the Proof of the Strong quest have been changed to the Deyok family]
Jiang He said, "Two things. First, spread the story of King Djork I and the Moon Elves. Second, spread some rumors that there are always elves singing in the royal treasury."

Si Ning raised his head and stared at someone's profile, curiously asking, "What are you going to do?"

Jiang He's eyes were calm. Deyok's rise to power had changed the overall environment, seriously disrupting his original personal plan. The members of the Red Rose Royal Family came from all over the world, and with the current transportation technology, one or two weeks would naturally be far from enough.

"Since they force me, Duke De York will become the biggest clown in history."

"How's your armor?"

Si Ning curled his lips, "The money has been spent, and the finished product is only half done, but the materials are complete, I will talk about it later when I have time."

Jiang He nodded, "Gather at the north bank of the Thames."

Si Ning made an OK gesture.

……

The night ends.

The king's army is slowly coming.

The Duke of York deliberately slowed down the process, during which time countless nobles sent secret letters to swear allegiance.

On the southern street of the royal capital, Jiang He rode towards the city gate. The Evil Knights and A Da and others had already moved into the portable temple, so he was alone at the moment.

The inner city without its prosperity exposed the mottled appearance of the ancient capital. The lights flickered like an old man's dim eyes. The outlines of the buildings were blurred. The wind shuttled through the narrow alleys, bringing with it the smell of decay and dampness, blowing the fallen leaves on the ground everywhere. The capital without a king was so desolate that it was unimaginable.

Da da da!
The sound of horse hooves echoed, and Jiang He suddenly fixed his eyes.

A ray of red light came from the blind spot, and the assassination came unexpectedly.

A royal elder instantly revealed his true form, and red light was like a pulling thread, guiding the giant red sword to burst out violently.

The Red Rose Family's true ability is blood thirst, which can drain the enemy's blood through wounds.

"Evil face, die!"

There was murderous intent in the eyes of the royal elders. If this prime minister had not stepped down, there would be no chance for him to harm the royal family from now on. It was definitely not just him who came tonight. Of course, the assassination by a top knight was already a top-level attack, and it was extremely rare in history.

Whoosh!
The bright red sword light appeared in an instant.

A flash of silver light flashed in Jiang He's hand, violent and cold.

As his state was fully activated, his figure disappeared in an instant.

Boom!

The first thrust of the spear directly shattered the true form of the red sword.

The second shot smashed the three rose sword techniques horizontally.

Jiang He fired the third shot, his attack speed increased by 80% due to the enhancement of Swift Kill. The spear suddenly extended several meters, and the tip of the spear was as fast as lightning, hitting the enemy's chest.

In an instant, the expressions of the royal elders changed drastically. Before the sword was swung, the gunlight had already filled their vision.

The terrifying force of five thousand kilograms was released wantonly, as if a meteorite was coming towards him. The heavy weight was transformed into pure and violent impact kinetic energy. The soul and true damage were intertwined, destroying the enemy's great knight's armor and flesh in one fell swoop.

The royal elders and their swords were annihilated together, and even their souls were shattered. The aftermath shattered the three-story house not far away, leaving a deep gully like half a tunnel on the ground. The rolling white air waves were surging endlessly, wrapped in thunder and resounding throughout half of the inner city.

The power of the S-level ultimate secret treasure is fully demonstrated.

……

Exploration calendar year 1600, August 8, night.

As the Duke of York came to power, his various past events were "naturally" dug up. The news that the First Queen had an affair with him after leaving the capital quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys. The romantic scandals of big figures have always attracted attention.

However, many people also remembered the legend of the Red Castle that had been circulating for who knows how long - the moon elves were singing in the royal treasury. There were very few royal elves of this kind, with only one born every hundred or eighty years. Combined with the scandal of King D'York, no less than three adventure groups sneaked into the Red Castle immediately.

In the most secret treasury of the royal family, the Iron Sword Adventure Group discovered a huge coffin made of black gems, in which lay a gorgeous and extraordinary beauty. Although she was motionless, her incomparable beauty still made the adventurers stay where they were.

"What a nice view……"

Thoughts flashed through the deputy leader's mind, and he turned around to see that his adventurers were breathing heavily and their eyes were cloudy.

With such a beauty lying defenseless before them, and Henry VI having been dead for who knows how long, the adventurers came up with some daring ideas.

The deputy leader came to the side of Leader Tiejian, who was also eager to make a move. He whispered:

"Boss, don't seek instant gratification."

"As far as I know, as long as the gossip in the capital is widely spread, it can be verified. This moon elf may really be related to the new king. If we report the news to the new king secretly, we will definitely not worry about the reward."

Captain Tiejian pinched his thigh to wake himself up, and asked in a low voice: "Why do you have to do it in secret? What if the new king refuses to admit it?"

The deputy captain had been acting as an aide to the king, and he immediately advised, "The new king is the uncle of Henry VI, and both of them have had affairs with the Moon Elves. Once word gets out, this titled warrior might kill us in order to deny it. Although such things are not uncommon among the nobles, we must be careful to survive in the cracks." Captain Iron Sword thought for a while, then nodded heavily.

"You stay here and watch them behave. I will leave the city right away. The new king should still be on the way waiting for the loyalty of the nobles from all over the place. I think there will be enough time."

The deputy captain explained a few important matters. He was born into a minor noble family and had a basic understanding of the rules. What the new king was really waiting for was not the loyalty of the nobles, but the choice of the commander of the kingdom's fleet.

Ever since Henry VII left, the Duke of Rose has never made an official statement, perhaps because he was too embarrassed to do so. After all, he had just issued a notice a few days ago, prohibiting any D'York ship from entering the Thames. Yet, in the blink of an eye, D'York was crowned king.

But only the titled knights of the same level can be so arrogant in front of the new king. If it were other nobles, they would end up dead without a burial place. Moreover, even the titled strongmen must make a choice before the new king arrives at the capital, because the kingdom’s naval fleet involves the most important maritime hegemony at the moment.

Captain Iron Sword took a few guards and headed straight for Nak County outside the city. The strength of an ordinary great knight ensured that he was safe and secure along the way.

When he arrived at the new king's military camp, he met the Earl of Rock in the name of surrender. When he relayed the news, he deliberately concealed the location and only said that the first queen had been found.

Earl of Rock realized the seriousness of the matter and immediately took Captain Iron Sword to meet King Dyok.

In the central army tent, Captain Iron Sword knelt on one knee and swore allegiance.

"...The Red Castle's treasury is empty. The gold, silver and jewels may have been taken away by Margaret and Henry VII who left the capital. There is only a giant coffin in the treasury that is difficult to move..."

After a while, a majestic voice came from the front of the military tent.

"I see, let's go."

Captain Tiejian was not at a loss, as the deputy captain had already warned him in advance that even if there was a reward, the new king would not give it to him in person.

Earl of Rock led Captain Iron Sword away, and just as they were about to step out of the military tent, a voice was heard behind them.

"Cancel the arrest warrant for Margaret. I accept this favor." King D'York said.

"clear."

……

late at night.

The capital city was in complete silence.

A tall and burly figure arrived at the Red Keep.

King D'York walked slowly on the steps, approaching the treasury step by step, with a majestic aura. He is now the master of this red castle, and every inch of land will be engraved with the glory of the white rose.

When King D'York arrived at the royal treasury, he was no stranger to it. This wizard tower was the same as when he was a child. During the reign of the mad king, he killed all the royal wizards, which eventually led to his own madness being incurable. It could be said that it was his own fault.

Wang Kuli, hundreds of people from three adventure groups confronted each other, trying to fight for the woman in the coffin. When the deputy leader saw the coming people, his face turned pale and he was terrified.

King Deyok had no interest in these ants. A field covering a hundred meters instantly unfolded, a white rose appeared behind him, and the sharp sword slashed and echoed in the field.

However, in the blink of an eye, all the adventurers disappeared completely without exception. The attacks launched by the core within the area were guaranteed to hit the target, and everyone present was equivalent to personally receiving a casual sword blow from the titled strongman.

"Alive."

Duke De York came to the huge black coffin, his expression lost in memories. Even though there was nothing unusual, he sensed a hint of danger from the coffin. However, the experience of the past few decades has verified an iron rule-the only one who can kill a title is another title.

The woman in the coffin lay quietly. Decades ago, her beauty had captivated the entire kingdom. "

"...Lor is eighteen years old this year. I will make him the legitimate king after he ascends the throne. A life without adventure is incomplete, so I am letting him go. But don't worry, he has ordinary knights as guards. Haha, don't think I am perfunctory. The stronger one is, the more he knows the significance of the White Rose Guard..."

King Djork whispered softly, reaching out to touch the woman's face.

But in an instant, an extremely terrifying premonition of death hit his head, and King Djok's usually calm expression changed drastically. He activated the golden fighting spirit in his body at an unprecedented speed.

"The field expands!"

Rumble!
The coffin and the woman evaporated at the same time, light and heat were released freely, the coffin made of 100,000 black gems exploded instantly, and unimaginable impact bloomed in the world.

The true damage caused by the superposition of excellent black gems completely tore the White Rose Domain apart, and the shocking shock of despair washed over King D'York's body and soul, completely annihilating him.

The huge red fort disappeared in an instant, a mushroom cloud was released into the sky, thick smoke wrapped in flames, swept around with a devastating force, and a powerful shock wave exploded in a circular shape. Wherever it went, the buildings were razed to the ground in an instant like paper.

Huge cracks appeared on the ground, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of burning and death. The impact like a storm and tsunami surged to the walls of the inner city, and the defenses that had taken more than a dozen generations to build collapsed immediately.

A mighty and thick column of light shot up into the sky, piercing through the clouds. The light illuminated the darkness, and the entire royal capital area was as bright as day.

In Nak County, Modres suddenly turned around in the woods and looked at the beam of light in the distance with disbelief.

"How can it be!"

Outside the army camp, the Black Marquis leaned on a wooden stake and looked up in a daze, the bad premonition in his heart growing stronger.

"broken……"

Even though he had numerous schemes and had planned the conflict between the Red and White Roses, the rebellion of the Second Prince, and the coronation of King Dyok, he still felt a deep sense of powerlessness at this moment. This kind of power beyond the mundane world could only be used against King Dyok, who left the military tent late at night and headed for the royal capital.

The Duke's eldest son, youngest son Browne, Olivia and others rushed out of the military tent one after another, staring at the daylight in front of them in horror and confusion.

"The wrath of the gods..."

The central port of the kingdom.

On a golden battleship, Grand Duke Rose stopped and looked into the distance.

"The royal family's heritage?"

"The Rose Family is incredible."

"Let's wait and see for now."

The Grand Duke of Rose was in a state of confusion. Even a Titled Knight could not withstand such a force that could destroy an area. He had previously wanted to see the Red and White Roses fight each other so that the Knight would reap the benefits, but now he was a little hesitant. If nothing unexpected happened, a Titled Knight would surely fall tonight.

……

The Thames, North Bank.

Si Ning was originally trying to catch a strange fox. She raised her iron fork and aimed, but she was always a beat late. For a Silver-level warrior, it was not difficult to hunt ordinary prey, but she was not interested in prey. What she really wanted to achieve was - [The fox twisted its body and escaped from under her crotch]
Rumble!
An indescribable sound wave came, followed by a violent earthquake. The surface of the Thames River was turbulent. Si Ning looked back in shock. Under the night sky that seemed as bright as day, someone was approaching on horseback from not far away.

A mask was thrown over.

"Now it's your turn to be the masked woman."

"It's true, it's false."

Jiang He pulled her onto the horse's back and washed her face with 100,000 black gem bombs. He could not think of any reason for King Deyok to survive. After this guy's death, his descendants would inevitably start a new struggle.
