Chapter 185 The sealed sacred sword of brilliance!
At the banquet for Oberon's return, there was a lot of drinking and drinking, and even King Uther happily dragged his sick body to attend, hoping to settle the past feud with his brother.
Unfortunately, the naive King Uther did not realize the murderous intention behind this grand banquet.
What greeted him was not Oberon's smile, but the cold blade.
At the banquet, Oberon directly kidnapped King Uther.
The guards under his command took all of King Uther's relatives in the Glory City hostage.
At the same time, outside Guanghui City, there was also a large army pressing down on the territory.
However, the city defense of Glory City is extremely tight, like an indestructible fortress.
Unless the city gate is opened inside the city, if you choose to attack by force, you will definitely pay an extremely heavy price.
Thus, King Uther's nightmare began.
Oberon kidnapped King Uther and used his life to force him to order the city defenders to open the city gates.
King Uther knew in his heart that once the city gate was opened, Oberon would definitely massacre the civilians in the Glory City crazily and occupy the entire Glory City with his character.
Therefore, even if his life was threatened, King Uther still refused to submit.
Even if he dies, he will never let Glory City fall into water and fire.
However, Oberon knew his brother too well and knew too well how to deal with him.
He imprisoned King Uther in a prison but did not torture him.
But this is the truly terrifying thing about Oberon.
He didn't torture King Uther, just to let him watch his relatives suffer to death in front of him.
Oberon is violent by nature and is proficient in all kinds of torture methods. He can torture people until they can neither survive nor die.
For example, "wearing fire shoes" is to put iron shoes in a charcoal fire until they are red-hot, and then let the prisoner put on the fire shoes to walk.
Once he stops, the executioner on the side will cut a piece of flesh from the prisoner's body and urge him to continue walking until his feet are burned to a bloody pulp and even the bones are burnt black.
Another example is the 'worm box' and the 'rat cage'. Oberon would fill the 'worm box' with all kinds of poisonous insects, then cover the prisoner's body with honey and lock him in it, leaving only his head exposed.
Outside.
In this way, the poisonous insects in the 'worm box' will be attracted by the aroma and begin to eat the prisoner's body crazily.
During this process, the prisoner's head is exposed outside the "worm box" and he cannot see the miserable state of his body. He will become more frightened and let out more miserable wailing and screaming sounds.
The principle of the 'rat cage' is similar to that of the 'worm box'.
Oberon would fill an iron cage with rats that had been starved for several days, then make several wounds on the prisoner's body and put him in a closed iron cage.
Then, Oberon will heat the iron cage, making the rats more restless.
These hungry rats will start biting directly along the wounds on the prisoner's body. In order to avoid the high temperature of the iron cage, they will get directly into the prisoner's stomach and bite through the prisoner's internal organs.
Of course, these means, in Oberon's hands, are just a drop in the ocean.
Some of his torturous punishments are horrifying just to hear.
Since King Uther refused to submit, Oberon tortured one of his relatives to death in front of him every day.
It wasn't until the fourteenth day that Oberon came up with a crazy punishment, which was 'mercury skinning'!
The so-called mercury skinning is to bury a person in the soil with only the head exposed, then cut a hole in the head and pour mercury inside.
Because mercury is very heavy, it will fall. When people feel pain, they will start to struggle violently, but they are buried and can only move up and down slightly.
In the end, a piece of complete and bloody human skin was forcibly separated.
After witnessing his wife being tortured to death in this way, King Uther's mental defense finally collapsed completely.
He finally followed Oberon's instructions and opened the city gate, allowing the army outside the city to invade.
In less than three days, the entire Glory City was completely destroyed.
Oberon ascended the throne as the new king, while Uther, as the old king, was beheaded on the guillotine on the day Oberon ascended the throne.
The dynasty has changed.
However, Uther apparently underestimated Oberon's cruelty.
Even before he died, he begged the latter bitterly to let his relatives go, but Oberon obviously would not do that.
Although Uther had been beheaded in public and the remaining people were no longer a threat to his throne, Oberon still ordered that all ministers and generals who had been close to King Uther be imprisoned and judged by him personally.
The so-called trial is naturally torture.
Every time night falls, a miserable wailing sound can be heard from the dungeons of Glory City, like the wails of evil spirits.
And in this disaster, the only royal family to survive was Artoria.
On the day Oberon launched his attack, Arturia was staying with the high priest, learning magic with him.
The high priest protected Artoria and escaped from the palace, taking with him the most powerful treasure in the Glory City, the 'Holy Sword of Glory'.
However, with the city gate closed, they could not leave the Glory City at all.
Moreover, the guards under Oberon were also searching for them in the city.
Under this situation, the high priest finally made a decision. He used his own power to forcibly seal the power of the 'Sacred Sword of Glory'!
At the same time, in order to prevent Artoria from being exposed, he also sealed her memory into the sword.
Immediately afterwards, without any hesitation, the high priest returned to the palace alone and went to die calmly.
As the princess, Artoria was entrusted by him to a guard, asking him to take the princess out of Glory City when the time was right.
…………
To be honest, even Lin Yuan did not expect that Artoria had such a bizarre life experience.
However, the worst thing was not Artoria, but King Uther.
Because of his momentary pity, he eventually made a big mistake, not only killing everyone around him, but also causing the entire Glory City to fall under Oberon's rule.
"Your Royal Highness, it is truly a gift from God that you are still alive."
Modo turned his head, bowed deeply to Lin Yuan, and said, "Dear Lord, I'm sorry that I misunderstood you at first. Please accept my apology."
"No need to be polite."
Lin Yuan waved his hand indifferently, then changed the topic and said doubtfully: "It's just that there is one thing that I still haven't figured out."
Modo immediately said: "Just ask me."
"I'm curious, how did Oberon do it?"
Lin Yuan said: "In order to punish him, didn't King Uther send him to an extremely remote fief?"
"Then how did he raise an army large enough to attack the royal city?"
"I'm not sure about that either."
Modo shook his head, and after hesitating for a moment, he spoke again: "But... there are rumors that he reached some kind of deal with the Abyss Demon and used the power of the Abyss Demon."
Having said this, Modo couldn't help but clenched his fists and said bitterly: "You obviously obtained the throne through such despicable means, and now you dare to call yourself the 'Glory Emperor'. You are really shameless to the extreme!"
Lin Yuan said: "So, you people gathered here just to overthrow Oberon's rule?"
"Of course, he is not orthodox at all!"
Modo clenched his fists and replied firmly: "We will take back everything that belongs to King Uther with our own hands!"
Lin Yuan asked again: "Then have you ever considered who should inherit the throne after overthrowing Oberon's rule?"
"Of course it will be inherited by the blood of King Uther!" Modo replied without hesitation.
Lin Yuan asked curiously: "Besides Artoria, is there any bloodline of King Uther alive in the world?"
"some."
Modo said with determination: "There is news that His Highness the Third Prince is still alive and is being imprisoned in the dungeon."
"Then why didn't Oberon kill him?"
Lin Yuan frowned, with a look of confusion on his face.
Logically speaking, with Oberon's character, he would never let such a being live.
In this case, why is the third prince not dead yet?
Modo explained: "Because Oberon already knows that the Holy Sword of Glory was sealed by the high priest himself."
"You have to know that this is the rarest treasure since the founding of the country. It can be said to be an artifact of the country."
"Furthermore, the Sword of Holy Glory symbolizes the legitimacy of the kingdom."
"Therefore, in order to stabilize the throne, Oberon must obtain this sacred sword of glory no matter what, and unlock its seal."
Lin Yuan understood what Modo meant, nodded, and then asked again: "But what does all this have to do with the third prince?"
Modo said: "Only he knows how to break the seal set by the high priest, because he is the only direct disciple of the high priest."
"So that's it..."
Lin Yuan suddenly understood: "So, if Oberon doesn't find the Sword of Divine Glory, he won't kill the third prince."
"right."
Modo said: "Of course, this information may not be accurate."
"Some people even suspect that this is false news deliberately released by Oberon to confuse us and make us try to rescue the third prince, so as to catch us all."
"So, I entered Glory City this time just to find out the exact information."
"I didn't expect that before I could find out the information, I would meet you and Her Royal Highness the Princess."
By now, the whole context of the matter has become completely clear.
In other words, if you want to unlock the seal of the Holy Sword of Glory, you must rescue the third prince.
If Lin Yuan remembers correctly, the lord in the previous life completed the hidden plot of Glory City and successfully unlocked the seal of the Holy Sword of Glory, thus allowing Artoria to advance from an S-level hero to an SSS-level hero in one fell swoop.
hero!
Therefore, he can be sure that the third prince must still be alive!
Now that you understand what you should do, the next thing is easy.
Lin Yuan raised his head, looked at Modo, and asked: "With the current strength of your resistance camp, can you capture Glory City?"
"Stop joking."
Modo smiled bitterly and said, "With our current military strength, it is impossible to break through even the gates of Glory City."
"That……"
Lin Yuan stared at the opponent directly, as if there was a flame burning in his eyes: "If you include my military strength, so what?"
