Outside the kingdom's capital, there was a sea of people, and the players surrounded the castle.
Without siege equipment, they used the weapons in their hands to attack the city walls and gates wildly. Some players even climbed dozens of meters high city walls in an attempt to climb over the walls.
Faced with the counterattack of the soldiers defending the city, the players did not care. In order to complete the mission and receive generous rewards, they were not afraid of life and death and continued to fight.
However, because it is 100% realistic, it really hurts to be injured!
But strangely enough, players can endure injuries that normal people cannot endure.
Some people even like this feeling. They die again and again, and then resurrect again and again, with expressions of enjoyment on their faces, and a perverted look of "Come and beat me!"
This scene was seen by the soldiers guarding the city, and their fear of the players became even deeper.
The commander of the Imperial Guard was sweating profusely. Facing the onslaught of players, even with tall and solid city walls, it was difficult to resist.
Just now, a dozen players climbed up the city wall, and the Imperial Guard paid hundreds of people to eliminate these players.
"If they attack the city..." the Guards commander did not dare to think about the consequences.
"When will Marshal Eddie and Archmage Marcus come back?" He looked into the distance with anxiety in his eyes: "They are the only two people who can save this country!"
At this moment, the players under the city suddenly stopped attacking.
"What's wrong?"
The commander's heart suddenly skipped a beat. The other party suddenly stopped fighting, making him even more uneasy.
"Are these players secretly engaging in some conspiracy?" He gave a serious expression and ordered loudly: "Everyone, stay at your posts. If there is anything unusual, report it to me immediately!"
Just when the soldiers defending the city were facing a formidable enemy, they were shocked to find that the players were retreating in one direction.
"What's going on? What's over there?"
The commander looked confused, then he remembered something and his expression changed drastically!
"Damn it! That's the direction His Majesty the King is retreating from!"
…
In the luxurious carriage, His Majesty Kiir saw that he was getting farther and farther away from the capital, and his heart finally calmed down.
Because of the fright, his spirit had been in a tense state, but now he finally relaxed and fell asleep.
I don’t know how long I had been sleeping, but the beauties next to me suddenly screamed in terror.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Wake up!"
His Majesty Kiir opened his eyes in a daze and muttered dissatisfiedly: "Beauty, please don't yell, let me sleep for a while..."
"Your Majesty! It's the players, they surrounded our convoy!"
Upon hearing this, His Majesty Kiir lost all sleep. He looked out of the car and was immediately frightened out of his mind.
I saw that his Imperial Guards were fighting to the death with the players, but the opponents were numerous and very powerful. The Imperial Guards were defeated continuously and were about to be unable to withstand it!
"Howard! Howard!"
His Majesty Kiir stuck his head out of the car window and called anxiously to his most loyal minister, but he could not be seen after calling for a long time.
In desperation, he had to hide in the carriage and hope for a miracle.
Unfortunately, the miracle did not happen, and all the more than 10,000 guardsmen who protected His Majesty Kiir's trip were killed by the players.
His Majesty Kiir and the nobles were gathered together, and they became prisoners of the players, not knowing what fate they would face.
Earl Lane was standing next to His Majesty Kiel. He was still comforting His Majesty Kiel: "Your Majesty, don't worry. The other party did not kill us directly, which means they know our identity and should be able to negotiate."
"Really?" His Majesty Keir was about to cry. He was still looking for Howard: "Earl Lane, have you seen Howard?"
Earl Lane shook his head and sighed: "I didn't see it, maybe... he has been killed by the player."
"Oh...my most loyal subject!" His Majesty Kiir burst into tears as soon as he heard this, feeling so sad in his heart.
Suddenly, he found a person standing among the players, it was Howard!
"Howard! You're not dead? That's great!" His Majesty Keir was overjoyed. If he hadn't been pulled by Earl Lane next to him, he would have rushed forward.
Earl Lane looked puzzled: "It's strange, Your Majesty, you see, Howard seems to be able to communicate with these players..."
His Majesty Kiir also discovered this situation. Not only was it communication, he also discovered that those players were very polite and even respectful to Howard.
"What's going on?" He widened his eyes in shock, and then asked happily: "Has Howard already negotiated with the player? Can we leave safely?"
Earl Lane was also unaware of the situation. Under the urging of His Majesty Kiel, he could only bite the bullet and go up to greet Howard: "Sir Howard!"
Howard was talking to several players. When he saw Count Ryan standing nearby, waving to him nervously, he raised his eyebrows and walked over.
"Isn't this Earl Lane? Do you want to see me for something?" Howard asked with a half-smile.
"You bastard, you are pretending to be stupid with me!" Earl Lane scolded Howard in his heart, but with a smile on his face, he said: "Are you negotiating with these players? His Majesty asked me to ask you."
"Negotiation?" Howard laughed and said, "No, it's not negotiation. They all listen to me."
Earl Lane felt that something was wrong with Howard's words, but he didn't think much about it and said happily: "Great, then let these players let us go quickly! His Majesty was frightened..."
"Let you go? Okay!" Howard showed a sneer and said to a male assassin next to him: "Send this guy away!"
The male assassin pouted. To be honest, he felt uncomfortable being ordered by an NPC. However, considering the mission reward, he still did it.
Earl Lane instinctively felt the danger. He backed away repeatedly and shouted in horror: "Sir Howard, what is he going to do? You, don't come over!"
"Looking at you as fat as a pig, you must not be a good thing!" The male assassin said nothing, and passed Count Lane in a flash. The next moment, Count Lane's neck began to bleed.
"You..." Earl Lane covered his slit neck and looked at Howard with disbelief. Then, he slowly collapsed and blood flowed all over the floor.
This scene was seen by other nobles, and the crowd suddenly burst into screams of terror.
His Majesty Keir was completely dumbfounded. Although he didn't know what Howard and Earl Lane talked about, Earl Lane's body was already in front of him.
"What's going on? Why did they kill Earl Lane? Didn't Howard already have an agreement with them? Why did they kill him?"
He asked the people around him hysterically. Now, no one could answer his questions, and no one was in the mood to answer.
Howard nodded with satisfaction, and then turned his gaze to His Majesty Kiir. He said coldly: "Everyone, leave no one behind, kill them all!"
Thousands of players present all turned their gazes towards the nobles, their cold gazes filled with murderous intent.
What followed was a horrific massacre.
People ran for their lives, screaming for mercy, promising wealth and status to the players, but to no avail, the God of Death still took their lives.
"It's you! Howard! Why?"
His Majesty Kiir finally came to his senses, but unfortunately it was too late.
Seeing Howard walking towards him step by step with the sword in hand, His Majesty Kiel collapsed to the ground in fear. When the sharp sword was placed on his neck, he was so frightened that tears and snot flowed across his face, and a pool of foul-smelling blood appeared under him. Yellow liquid.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk... My lord, you look so ugly like this!"
Howard looked at His Majesty Kiel with disdain, shook his head and said: "After all, you are also the king of the Kingdom of Eltra. As a role model for the people, you must show a brave and fearless spirit in the face of death."
"I, I don't want to die..."
His Majesty Keir was crying. Suddenly he thought of something and hurriedly said: "Howard, I know what you want. Do you want my throne? Okay, you can take it, as long as you keep me alive!"
"idiot!"
Howard sneered: "Your throne is already mine, why should you give it to me?"
"To be honest, you are the worst king I have ever seen! Anyone who sits in your position can do better than you!"
"So, you are here today entirely because of your own fault!"
He looked at the sky, with a pious expression on his face, and said, "Maybe this is what the Holy Demon meant, let me replace you, this foolish king!"
Taking out a white handkerchief, Howard covered his nose, approached His Majesty Kiir, and said, "I will tell you one last thing. Not only will I take away your kingdom, but I will also take away your queen."
"If you don't cherish such a beautiful and virtuous woman, let me love her on your behalf, hahaha!"
His Majesty Kiir was stunned. He could accept losing his throne, but he couldn't stand it when his queen was usurped by others!
"Howard, you bastard!"
Suddenly, he jumped up and threw Howard to the ground!
"You die!"
Veins popped up on His Majesty's forehead. He pinched Howard's neck with both hands and roared, "I won't let you touch my woman!"
Howard was taken aback. He had not expected that His Majesty Kiir, who was usually submissive, would be so aggressive at this time!
However, it was of no use.
Poof!
The long sword pierced His Majesty Kil's chest and penetrated from his back. Blood slowly flowed down the sword's edge.
His Majesty Keir's eyes widened instantly. He looked down at his chest, wanting to move but not daring to move. Then he was pushed away by Howard forcefully.
"The Holy Demon...will not protect you...bastard..."
After speaking the last words, His Majesty Kiir breathed his last.
Howard gasped, staggered up to His Majesty Kiir, raised his sword and chopped off the head.
With blood on his face, he raised his head high with a crazy expression and laughed: "Hahaha! The king is dead. From today on, I am the new king!"
…
"Fountain of the Moon God... This is the 16th Amethyst landing."
Zhang Ze was sitting in the command room of Steel Titan, looking at the map on the large electronic screen and drinking coffee leisurely.
"The efficiency is pretty good. I found so much in three hours, and the rest will probably be collected in about three hours."
He turned to look at the other electronic screen. Inside the huge cabin, hundreds of players were looking around in confusion, not knowing where they were.
There are also people who try to use magic and weapons to destroy the surrounding walls and iron doors.
The Iron Titan opened the small hatch mercilessly, and the powerful suction sucked all these people out. They fell from an altitude of thousands of meters and died alive.
At this time, Zhang Ze received a message from the giant god and others, asking if they needed help.
After thinking about it, Zhang Ze replied: "My player insider told me that Howard, the man behind the scenes, has issued a new mission for all players to attack the capital."
"I am now cleaning up the amethysts logged in by all players. You can go to the capital to protect Queen Louise first. It is best not to let her have an accident, otherwise I am worried that our mission will be ruined."
Everyone agreed to Zhang Ze's suggestion, left their territories one after another, and rushed back to the imperial capital on flying beasts.
"Master, the hell wormhole is located three hundred meters underground. I need to use a deep well drill to open a passage to take it out..."
Zhang Ze nodded: "Just do it, you don't need to tell me, I just want the results."
…
Howard led the player's army back to the imperial capital. At this time, the commander who defended the city was surprised to see Howard and the player together: "Didn't Mr. Howard escape from the castle with His Majesty the King? Why are he with the player?"
Just when he was confused, Howard rode his horse to the bottom of the city wall and shouted to the top: "Your Excellency, Commander, I am Howard, open the city gate immediately and let us in."
"Lord Howard, aren't you with His Majesty the King? Why are you back?"
The commander frowned and shook his head: "Besides, when you said you opened the city gate, do you want to let these players in too? Are you sure? They are all murderous demons!"
"Of course I'm sure."
Howard nodded lightly and said: "Now, I announce to you that His Majesty Kil is dead, and I will succeed him as the new king of the Kingdom of Eltra."
As he spoke, he took out His Majesty Kiir's head from a blood-stained cloth bag and showed it to everyone.
"Look! This is the head of Hunjun!"
"Your Majesty Commander, open the city gate immediately and welcome your new king!"
All the people on the city wall were dumbfounded. The ministers killed the king. This was something that had never happened before.
The commander recovered from the shock, his face showed anger, and shouted: "Howard! You are such a traitor, you actually killed His Majesty Kiir! I will not open the city gate for you, let alone admit your new Kingship!”
After speaking, he immediately ordered the archers on the left and right to shoot arrows at Howard, hoping to kill the rebellious minister.
Two shield warriors flashed to Howard's side and raised their shields to block the incoming arrows.
Howard sneered and said, "Since you are unwilling to submit, then there is no point in living for you."
"Ethan! Kill the commander and open the city gate!"
A black shadow suddenly appeared next to the commander. He turned around in shock, only to see a flash of white light.
The next moment, he saw his back...
After the young mage named Ethan killed the commander, he waved his hand casually, and the heavy city gate slowly opened by itself.
"here you go!"
Howard laughed loudly and waved his hand: "Players, follow my orders, attack the city, and destroy all opponents!"
