Chapter 575

On the fifth day of the prince's disappearance, the city of gilness was in a state of panic.

In the past three days, all kinds of unreliable rumors spread rapidly throughout the city. The news of Prince Liam's disappearance almost spread all over gilness overnight. Civilians have said that King Jean sent the prince to seek refuge abroad.

They thought that the king was no longer going to stick to the city, and sending the prince away was only the first step!

The royal family refuted the rumor for the first time. Recently, King gene, who was in poor health, even appeared in the city square and told the panicked people that he would never leave the city. Then the guards guarding the palace were distributed in all areas of the city, which suppressed the panic atmosphere that almost led to riots.

You know, in the past five years, the sudden change of the whole situation in gilness has completely frightened these poor people. Any wind or grass will stir their fragile heartstrings. Although there is still order on the surface, after three days of brewing in the dark, an inevitable storm has begun to surge in gilness.

Those mice hiding in the dark have poked out their claws, as if they were trying to grab a piece of their own bread from the ruins after the passage of the storm.

But even though the city has been noisy, the gilness palace, located in the east of the city, is still as stable as a mountain, like the last pillar to suppress the earth between the world and the world, which is about to be silent. As long as it is not chaotic, the whole city will still be stable.

"Here comes Lord Godfrey!"

"Lord Walden

With a loud reminder from the court aides, King Jean, who was being treated by the royal doctor crainen, stood up from the chair with a scepter. His wrinkled face showed a trace of heaviness. He reached out and declined crainen's help. Relying on his own strength, he moved to the throne step by step.

When he sat down, he couldn't help taking a few deep breaths, which suppressed the pain flowing in his body, just like an old lion sitting in his own territory, grinding his teeth for the last time, to face the coming provocation.

The king is now more than 50 years old. He has experienced too many magnificent things in his life, from the orc invasion to the extinction of Lordaeron. Gene is the witness of almost all the events in the past ten years, but time is always so cruel. He is old.

The valiant soldier, who once could compete with the bravest orcs in the battlefield, is old. His shoulders are no longer high, but he has a little bit of hunchback. In addition to the bad situation of gilness in recent years, his gray hair has completely turned into gray, and he looks like a dying old man.

Of course, the reason for his weakness is not only time, but also the despicable assassination two years ago. After the mutiny against him launched by his most trusted comrade in arms and brother, Lord dalius Crowley, King gene was in a bad mood. In the late winter of that year, he was in the Royal Manor of the graemen family, A gang of thugs assassinated graemen manor, southwest of gilness, while hunting.

It is said that after that battle, the old king almost lost half of his blood, and the prince who rushed to support almost died under the assassin's dagger. It can be seen that the battle was fierce. Since then, the old king's body has been worse day by day, and now he even needs to receive the treatment of Dr. crane Nan every day to ensure his survival.

But even so, the old king's attitude towards the blood toothed werewolf and the head wolf laelar who invaded the country was still firm, just like an old and strong blade. Unless he was completely broken, he would never give up.

"Cough, Godfrey, waldenqing, have you finished repairing the city wall?"

The old king asked in a low voice, looking at the two nobles who walked into the throne room under the guidance of the attendants on the red carpet.

"Yes, your majesty! Because of the north gate rebellion two years ago, most of the burned north gate has been repaired, and it will be completely completed in three days at most. But we found something bad in our secret talks, so I came to report it! "

Lord Godfrey took two steps forward, put his left hand on his chest respectfully, and bowed to King Jean. Although his title is Lord, in fact, Vincent Godfrey is one of the few remaining lords in gilness. In the war against the invasion of the bloodtoothed werewolf, almost all the great figures of Godfrey's family died in battle, while Lord Godfrey, who took over as the patriarch of the clan, took over the throne, It is not inferior to those pioneers.

He always leads his family's private soldiers to guard near the city of gilness. Tenacious and violent blood tooth werewolves confront and fight at the front line of the war. It is said that the Lord, who has read 40, is one of the few gilnese people that the wolf lyrael hates most. Godfrey gladly regards it as a kind of praise.

But today, probably because he wanted to meet the king, he took off his military uniform and got into the traditional aristocratic clothes of gilness. He put the black hat in his hand, and hung a decorative sword around his waist. His black hair and beard were neat, and his gray eyes were shining with real firmness and courage, It looks like a real gilness aristocrat, with a trace of the pride of the gilness people.

"Oh? What's the news? "

Gene can't help but be curious. Although he has known for a long time that gofrey is plotting to overthrow his rule through some channels, as a ruler, he doesn't hate the aristocracy in front of him. Gene knows that his wrong decision will make him nailed to the stigma pillar of gilness and even the whole human history. He never hopes to be redeemed.

But at least, this country should be handed over to Liam. He is innocent, and Godfrey is the best minister after Liam takes over the throne

"It's about the bloodtoothed werewolves, your majesty. Their actions these two days are quite strange... Walden and I went to the northern forest to investigate in person and came to a conclusion."

Godfrey stepped forward, probably because the news was so important that he lowered his voice,

"It's very likely that the blood tooth werewolf will fight with those mysterious moon fury werewolves in the near future. My spies in burning wood village saw with their own eyes that lyrael and the elite Werewolf of shadow tooth Castle crossed the wall of graemen. They also saw..."

"What?"

Godfrey's voice dropped. He was about to say something more important. Gene's body could not help leaning forward. At this moment, a cold dagger stuck to the old king's neck.

Gene looked up as if he could not believe it, but what he saw was gofrey's cold face,

"Your Majesty, please step down for gilness's sake."

"... ridiculous!"

The first person to stand up, clapping on the table, was the Royal physician crannan, who had been serving the king. The most famous physician in gilness yelled,

"What do you want to do? Godfrey, you are rebelling

"Shut him up! Walden

Lord Godfrey's head didn't turn back and threw a cold word. Lord Walden, who had been standing in the same place, strode forward, knocked over kleenen with two fists, and beat his sobs back to his throat. The most terrible thing is that all this happened under the gaze of the royal guards guarding the throne room, who should have been most loyal to the king, This moment is like turning a blind eye to all this rebellion.

Gene's guards are paid! It's impossible in a country like gilness, where the monarchy has been handed down for hundreds of years, but it happened.

"Ha ha, Godfrey, someone told me that you would rebel, but I don't want to believe it. Unfortunately, you did it anyway..."

In the face of gene's low voice, Godfrey's indifferent face had no expression, but his hand holding the dagger turned pale. It can be seen that the Lord's heart was still not calm.

A few seconds later, he spoke and his voice became hoarse,

"I'm sorry, your majesty, I failed your trust, but all I did was for gilness..."

"Who is it?"

Gene doesn't want to listen to these boring words. As a king who has ruled the country for more than ten years, he directly asked the core of the question,

"Who promised to help us solve these problems? You're not an ignorant man, and you know how much power it takes to bring down gilness now... So let me guess, to win your trust, to make you sacrifice so much against the glory of the gofrey family, and to be able to bring down all this... Um, Urien's mi7? Or the Royal agent of minehill? Or the naval operations department in kurtiras? "

The old king closed his eyes and told all the possible powers. But gofrey was silent. Finally, when gene opened his eyes again, he sighed,

"All! The fleets of kurtilas and storm kingdom are moored at minehill and ready to set out. As for the legions of Lordaeron... They assembled in Hillsbrad hills two months ago. "

Gene's eyes became sharp at this moment, "all?"

After being confirmed by Godfrey, the old king sat on the throne like he had lost all his strength. He closed his eyes tightly,

"It seems that everyone wants me to die. It seems that six years ago I did make a really damned decision. Who would have thought that the National League, which was already scattered, would unite again one day? The most ironic thing is that they unite to kill me? Hehe... Should I feel honored? Godfrey

"No, your majesty, they have been united for a long time."

The great Lord took back his dagger and stepped back. "When we were closed, the whole world changed. You thought that the unstoppable natural disaster of the dead had been completely defeated. All the forces in the whole world participated in that war, except us. I have no intention to comment on whether the building of the wall of graemen was a mistake, but at least today, Please think about the whole country! "

Godfrey didn't force the palace again, but gene didn't resist, even if his sword was on the edge of the throne. He just asked in a low voice like an old man in the twilight,

"What's the price? Godfrey, I don't believe that it's just because of hatred or feelings for human beings that everything is an exchange of interests, so what have you paid? "

"Gilness is back in the League..."

Gofrey gritted his teeth. "The north of greymann's wall belongs to Lordaeron. Atonement island belongs to kurtiras. It's tax-free for storm kingdom for 10 years."

"Stupid!"

When gene heard this, he opened his eyes like an angry lion and roared at Godfrey, "you've given the land of the kingdom to other people so easily! Just to calm down the werewolf disaster? Do you know that if everything goes as you planned, even if the werewolf is gone, our country will become a vassal of these three countries! You are stupid, Godfrey

"But at least gilness can save it!"

Godfrey choked his neck, took off all the etiquette and yelled at gene like a rude soldier, "at least we can protect the rest of our people! Instead of watching them be killed by werewolves, so that they don't become that kind of monster! Your majesty, think for your people! I will make sure that Prince Liam will succeed safely, and I will make sure that the blood of graemen will continue! "

"For gilness, please die!"

With that, Godfrey pounced on gene. The old king couldn't avoid the blow. He had to let the closed dagger pierce his abdomen, and the blood flowed.

But before Godfrey could be happy or sad, a steady and powerful hand gripped his wrist. The LORD looked up in disbelief and saw that it was the angry gene, not the weak old king, but a soldier who seemed to get new life and new strength.

His face turned into an angry wolf head in the twisting of his muscles, his palm turned into a claw full of sharp blades, and the white mane ran fast on the surface of his body. When the sharp wolf kiss opened in front of gofrey's eyes, the wild power almost made the Lord faint at this moment.

He's not afraid of werewolves, but gene, the supreme king of gilness, is

"I don't blame you, Godfrey!"

The strange and hoarse voice came from gene's wolf kiss. His claws held Godfrey's wrist inch by inch and pulled out the dagger that pierced his abdomen. His eyes that didn't turn green proved that he still had reason. With a flick, Godfrey and the stunned Lord Walden fell to the ground.

Gene, who's completely werewolf, moved his shoulder and exclaimed,

"I don't blame you, Godfrey, but I won't let my country be divided by other countries! It's up to the people of gilness to solve the problem. I won't be king any more, but... I will still give everything for my country. "

"Ouch, ouch!"

Lord Godfrey couldn't help looking back at the howling of wolves rising almost from the whole city of gilness. In the far north sky, a lightning bolt tore the gloomy clouds. Under that sky, there was a more crazy howling of wolves.

The king of gilness reaches out to take off his ragged robe. More elite werewolves rush in from all corners of the palace to disarm the defected guards. Gene goes over gofrey and Walden, who are also bound. He goes to the gate. The gray eyes of the wolf look at the distance,

"Look, the war has begun!"
