The shouts of killing outside the front hall gradually subsided. In the huge square in front of the hall, corpses were lying in various directions. These were all bodyguards who were loyal to Sayato.
The struggle for royal power is like this. Ability, vision, and judgment of the situation are all indispensable. Of course, some luck is also needed.
Not all of these officials or soldiers who supported Sayato voluntarily joined her, some had entire factions on Sayato's side, and those below had no choice at all.
Corpses were dragged away one after another. Soldiers in armor carried huge buckets and dumped them on the square and the corridor with a bang. The blood spread, some soaked into the gaps between the bricks and stones, and some were absorbed by the soil and became flowers and plants.
of nutrients.
The winner steps on the corpse of the loser and sits on the throne. As long as there is humanity, the throne will be stained with blood. History is the wife of the loser and can only be at the mercy of the winner.
A large group of trembling officials moved forward surrounded by the frontier troops. Some of them were mourning for their heirs, some were sighing, and some were filled with grief.
"The empire is over..."
An official with age spots on his face wiped his tears. His life experience told him that this was an internal fight among those in power. If there is no new king coming today, the offensives of the lords and aliens on the frontier who are ready to move will be fierce. By then, the empire will
Officials are worried that the power system will collapse and disintegrate in a short period of time.
The better situation is that the empire is divided into several kingdoms, the worse situation is that the lords of the frontiers rule the empire, and the worst situation is that the continent is occupied by aliens.
The door to the front hall slowly opened, and the old magic stick stood inside the door. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, but the veins in his neck were beating.
"The princess, Adegesh Sayeto, was crowned the King of the Night in 1691 of the Dark Age!"
The old magician shouted, and the imperial officials in front of the palace looked puzzled.
"All officials enter the palace."
Following the old magician's roar, all the officials entered the front hall. After passing through the inner corridor, they stepped into the middle hall. What caught their eyes was the King of the Night, Sayato, who was wearing black armor and sitting on the throne.
"black king……"
When some old officials saw Sayato on the throne, tears filled their eyes. Almost instinctively, their knees softened and they knelt on the ground to support him.
On the left and right sides of Sayeto, stood Wulf and Walkley. At this time, one of them was wearing red armor and the other was wearing white. The one in red armor was Wulf, who was in charge of the military. It can be said that as long as he is in the empire,
The entire army is under his control.
Wearing white clothes is Walkley, who is responsible for finance, people's livelihood, official selection and removal, etc.
Woolver and Walkley seem to have great power, but in fact they need to find people they trust and gradually spread out their power. If there are only two of them, they will be too busy even if they work 24 hours a day.
All the officials were kneeling on the ground. Although they were full of doubts, the new king had appeared, which meant that the royal power of the empire would be unified again. As long as it was stable for a few years, the alien races and lords on the border would not be considered foreign invaders at all.
Just when all the officials were kneeling on the ground, Su Xiao had already walked out of the middle hall. Seeing Su Xiao walking out, Wu Fu next to the throne subconsciously wanted to follow.
"Woofer."
Walkley spoke in a low voice, and Wolfe paused. He looked at Su Xiao who was gradually walking out of the central hall, then looked at the officials kneeling and supporting him on the ground, and finally focused on Walkley.
Walkley shook his head and said: "We...will continue to run this country."
"is that so……"
Wulf retreated to the throne.
"That's right."
Walkley took one step forward, and half of the power of the empire was in his hands.
In the front hall.
Su Xiao came to the front of the palace and looked at the frontier troops who were cleaning up the blood stains.
"You just... gave up the royal power like this? If you are willing, Woof and Walkley will support you."
The old magic stick stood next to Su Xiao, his expression was relaxed, and the burden on his shoulders disappeared the moment Sayato sat on the throne.
"Don't pretend to be confused."
Su Xiao put his hand on the handle of the knife. Seizing power is just a process. He did not come to this world to be king. If he does not die in a certain world, he will have to experience many worlds in the future. He will not be able to take the kingship out of this world.
Therefore, compared with royal power, his own strength is more important to Su Xiao. After all, he is not a resident of this world.
"Although it will be quiet for a period of time, if we enter there, the probability of coming out alive is no more than 10%."
"Silence?"
Su Xiao turned her head and looked at the old magic stick, her eyes seemed to be shining.
"Yes, the Silent City will be silent for one to two months, and the residents there will sleep to the maximum extent possible. Even if they are awakened, they will be much weaker due to the appearance of the new king."
"This is good news."
Su Xiao walked out of the palace. The old magician sighed and could only follow.
As soon as Su Xiao walked out of the palace, Bubo Wang and Amu, who had been waiting outside the main entrance for a long time, followed Su Xiao.
Although the seizure of power is over, what Su Xiao wants to do has just begun. He wants to enter the Dead City. Although there are many dangers there, judging from the information Su Xiao knows, he can gain considerable profits there.
The first is the last piece of the Black King suit. If you want to get the complete Black King suit, Death City is a must-go place.
Moreover, according to the information Su Xiao investigated before, many extreme cultivators have disappeared in the Dead City. Those who pursue the ultimate in skills will find it extremely difficult to take any further steps after reaching a certain level. Their combat power is already comparable to
This world used to be gods, so they are respected as holy cultivators by the world.
When these saintly cultivators reached their later years, they all entered the Dead City at the same time. The only known information was that Su Xiao got it from a piece of metal fragment. There was only one sentence.
"What we pursue is within the realm of death. I have no regrets in my life, so I am willing to give it a try."
Su Xiao has studied a lot of the cultivation methods and insights of the Supreme Cultivator, and even relied on these insights to advance to two levels of swordsmanship master. However, he only collected one relic left by the Holy Cultivator.
You know, Su Xiao is already one of the most important people in the empire. Thousands of people are looking for the things he wants to collect day and night, but even so, they can only find a piece of metal.
In addition to the Black King suit and the legacy of the Holy Cultivator, there is another thing in Dead Silence City that also attracts Su Xiao, and that is the source of darkness.
Su Xiao tried many methods. Not to mention obtaining the source of darkness, he didn't even know what the source of darkness was.
You should know that when you first enter the Black King's world, in the world introduction prompted by Samsara Paradise, the source of darkness and the source of the world are at the same level.
The Source of the World allows Su Xiao to obtain true attributes. As for what can be obtained through the Source of Darkness, it is temporarily unknown.
The real attributes are like the foundation. Without the support of physical fitness, even if Su Xiao's sword skills are several times stronger than now, he will not be able to exert a strong combat effectiveness.
The Black King suit, the legacy of the holy cultivator, and the source of darkness are enough for Su Xiao to take the risk of exploring the Dead City.
"Old magician, where is the City of Death?"
Su Xiao's tone was firm, even leaving no room for doubt.
"If you're going there, at least be prepared."
The old magic stick tapped his chest with one hand and looked into the distance. He was ready to fulfill a previous promise.
