Chapter 312: Battle for Kingship part-2

Meanwhile, hundreds of thousands of players from all over the kingdom were teleported to the capital city.

Some of them are haters while the others were mostly neutral players. Maybe, they were enticed by the rewards or maybe, they thought they had a chance if they stayed together to face Wil.

For whatever reason, the capital city swarmed by the players. Strangely, members of the Dreamwalkers guild and a few other guilds that were against Wil and his guild didn't appear there.

Back to Wil, as soon as the system announcement was sent, he received private messages from Starlight and Supreme Master, almost at the same time.

Supreme Master: I just received the quest. I'm letting the guild members join you. Is that okay?

Starlight: I just received the quest. Should we proceed with the original plan or should I let my guild members join you?

Supreme Master originally thought that they had to face two of these level-500 people. So, he had doubts about Wil's victory.

But now that he had realized that they only had to face one of them, his hopes of Wil's victory increased. So, in order to get into his good books, he volunteered.

As for Starlight, he thought the main battlefield would be Zuweth. So, he prepared the routes where Wil will be at advantage. He also prepared their data.

But, he didn't know the rules to take over the kingdom and didn't expect the situation turns out like this. So, he offered his help too.

Upon reading the messages, Wil replied to both of them that he doesn't need support in taking down the city. However, if they want to help, they can send support, later when he will fight against Zuweth.

Wil's reply made both of them realize that he plans to conqueror all the three kingdoms.

As both of them agreed, Wil sent further instructions and closed the screen.

***

Half an hour later, everyone present in Llyne kingdom received the announcement.

*Ding! The Battle for the throne has been started.

"Let's go." Wil entered the city and started to run towards the palace because that's where the actual battleground is located.

But, as soon as he walked through the entrance gate, Wil suddenly halted his steps.

To his surprise, he saw there are thousands of players lined up on the sidelines, looking at him curiously. All of them have grey color names, indicating that they are bystanders. 

Many of them even have a camera in their hands. 

No one knows who screamed first. But, soon, the cheering started while a few people started to take pictures.

Wil expected resistance from the players after he received information of how players swarmed the city.

Aster reported to him that a countless number of players rushed to the city and are continuously exiting the temple. Wil thought it was because they came here to try their luck but didn't expect this kind of treatment.

"Good for them," Wil muttered under his breath as he continued to run forward. Their existences wouldn't matter to him either way.

Soon, under Wil's lead, the allied army reached the palace grounds, where he saw Rikilda and her troops are waiting for his arrival.

There are more than thirty thousand NPC soldiers lined up behind her. A couple of thousand more casual players that accepted the quest also stood together with them.

They had no choice but to stick with them as their numbers are too less to ambush him on the streets.

Meanwhile, on the frontlines, more than 20 generals were standing together with the former Queen. Behind them, there are more than a thousand Royal knights.

Looking at him, she smirked, "You are here, my nephew. I knew that half-breed niece of mine would pass the Imperial sword to you. We also predicted that you would rebel as soon as the war is over. So, I had my preparations.

I'll give you one last chance. Accept your defeat and surrender the Imperial sword. I'll turn a blind eye to you and let you continue to be the Mayor or else…"

"Phuahaha…" Wil interrupted her with a laugh, making her frown.

"You are really an idiot, aren't you?" Wil stopped laughing. "Do you think I used some kind of trick on Evelon's king or something?"

As the frown on her face deepened, Wil continued while his eyes turned cold, "Today, you will suffer the same fate as Mirella Llyne, not even knowing how you died. However, your allies…"

Wil then looked at the generals of Zuweth and Llyne beside her, "the enemies of Llyne and the traitors will face the wrath."

"Summon, Elemental Golem, Lava Transformation, attack mode."

A 150-meter giant Lava Golem appeared before Wil, casting a shadow on the enemies that are standing in front of it.

With a telepathic link between them, he ordered it to grab him. As the golem raised him by a hundred meters from the ground, he looked down at Rikilda.

*Ding! Your attack increased by 100%.

Along with Wil, all the players that had blue names received the buff. At the same time, the NPC soldiers were covered by some sort of aura and felt their strength is increased by a lot.

As the enemy players and the enemy NPC soldiers widened their eyes in shock, Rikilda snorted in response. "So, this is the thing that let you be so arrogant?"

She raised her staff, "In the name of Llyne, I, Rikilda Llyne, the direct descendant of Acke Llyne, hereby…"

Before Rikilda's incantation finished, Wil mumbled, "Summon, Thunderbolt."

All of a sudden, a flash of lightning hit her on the head, turning her to ash, followed by the sound of thunder in the sky.

*Critical* "1,000,000,000,000"

Silence ensued all over the battlefield. Not one of them spoke a word.

Everyone around was stunned, looking at such an outcome. There was no exciting sword or skill fight. There weren't any movements from either of the leaders or the soldiers.

The soldiers that were on Rikilda's side were waiting for their orders. They didn't get to step forward one foot and the Queen was already dead.

It terrified them, especially the players who are behind him. As for the red-name players before him, they quickly logged out to escape.
