Chapter 310 Roaring
Chapter 310 Roaring
Upon hearing the news, Judith became dejected, while Augustine showed a smug smile on his face. He won.
Looking at Judith, the backbone of the city who had given up resistance, Augustine knew that everything was over and the city could not hold on any longer. All he had to do next was open the city gates to welcome the demon army, then put all the blame on Judith and Scott, and offer the half-crazy Claire to the devil. The Augustine family would still be the king of this kingdom.
Even if there is only one royal capital left.
Cliff stood up dejectedly, looked at Augustine, and asked, "Have you discussed it with the demons?"
"Yes, Your Majesty. So don't worry. You can continue to be the king if you want. Everything can be discussed. The only condition is to help completely eradicate the Goddess Cult. After that, the Demon King promised that as long as it is under the rule of the demons, the capital will always be Augustine's capital."
Cliff nodded, came to Augustine and asked, "Can you tell me about it? What is the specific treaty?"
When Augustine saw Cliff's depressed look, he immediately started talking and gave Cliff a detailed introduction to the conditions offered by the demons. Apart from retaining a little bit of Augustine's dignity, the conditions could almost be described as humiliating.
Just when Augustine was halfway through his speech, Cliff suddenly drew the sword from his waist and stabbed it straight into the body of this fellow tribesman.
This is just a sword that symbolizes power and has no killing power in itself, but everyone forgets that Cliff is also a knight.
This fellow tribesman looked at Cliff in shock, his face no longer showing any trace of decadence. In his eyes, the crazy expression on Cliff's face gradually began to overlap with that of Augustine III, who had driven him crazy in order to target the North.
"You...you will..."
Hearing that his fellow tribesman could still speak, Cliff twisted his sword, pulled out a musket for self-defense from his waist, and gave his fellow tribesman a great surprise.
The blood of his fellow tribesmen spilled on Cliff's face, on his luxurious robe, and on the round table in the meeting hall.
All the people present, especially the Augustines who were ready to make a move, were frightened to the point of not daring to move. Even the last bit of strength protecting the Augustines was restrained in an instant.
Cliff was panting heavily. It was unclear whether it was because he was nervous or because he hadn't exercised for a long time. But Cliff remained calm and ordered Judith, "Open the palace gate, open the armory, summon the young men in the city, and distribute all the muskets and gunpowder to those who are willing to fight."
"Repeat the treaties this man just mentioned to the soldiers and civilians in the city word for word."
"Tell those people again that the Northern Governor will come to rescue us soon, either today or tomorrow."
"Also, anyone who dares to mention surrender will be killed without mercy!"
Cliff raised the musket in his hand and fired a shot at the ceiling, and everyone present woke up instantly.
Seeing Cliff giving clear orders, Judith and Scott immediately stood up and went to make arrangements.
Cliff asked the terrified messenger, "Which city wall can't be defended?"
"Probably northwest."
Cliff said no more, but took the decorative sword on the wall of the conference room, picked up the musket and walked towards the city wall with his guards.
Originally, rumors had begun to spread in the city that the new king had taken advantage of the chaos to escape and was going to sell the capital to the demons. However, when Cliff personally climbed to the top of the city wall to command the battle, all the rumors immediately disappeared.
What Cliff could not have imagined was that after the news spread, the first people in the city to rush to help Cliff were the students of the Royal Academy, especially those who were not of noble birth.
After hearing the treaty, the students were furious and rushed to Cliff with great enthusiasm. Cliff looked at these young faces and was speechless for a moment. He wanted the students to go back because they were the last hope of the kingdom, but the students said that the country was about to be destroyed, so what hope was there after the destruction of the country?
Yes, after the King is gone, Cape will certainly be gone too, and humanity will fall under the rule of the demons. What hope will there be then? These students can see things more clearly than those nobles with different thoughts.
"I know I'm not a good king, and I feel like I was just dragged up here, but I..."
As soon as Cliff started to become depressed, a student immediately said, "Your Majesty, stop talking nonsense and just tell me whether you are going to do it or not!"
Some students were amused by the vulgar remarks, which instantly eased the tense atmosphere. Cliff responded, "Okay, let's fuck him!"
With the help of the students, the originally precarious city wall was recaptured, and the morale was even higher than before. With the opening of the armory, more and more students climbed up to the top of the city wall, including the descendants of those wavering nobles, who joined others in defending the royal capital, regardless of whether it was useful or not, they just picked up their muskets and fired indiscriminately.
Antipas stared at the city walls of the Capetian capital. Through the same means as before with Claire, Antipas contacted the Capetian royal family again. But for some reason, after negotiating the price with the Capetian royal family, the resistance of the Capetian capital became even more intense.
For a moment, the demons under Antipas even had the illusion that they were fighting against the Northern Army, but the weapons and equipment of the royal capital were still far inferior to those of the North. Although they resisted fiercely, they still could not stop the endless stream of demon monsters.
Unlike the North, the capital has the ability to resist, but not the ability to fight back.
"Let the chosen ones take action."
These chosen gods were originally meant to deal with the North, but from now on, we can try in advance to see what changes have taken place in these chosen gods under the influence of the black fog.
Several huge Chosen Gods began to continuously attack the walls of the royal capital, and the blood magic of the demons gushed out from the several big mouths of the Chosen Gods as if endless.
In addition to the power of blood magic itself, there seemed to be a hint of destruction in those magics, which made the humans on the city wall who had originally stabilized start to get scared again.
Once the emotion of fear begins to appear, it will begin to be infinitely amplified, eventually leading to a collective loss of control.
The originally solid city walls became shaky again under the attack of the chosen ones.
Antipas was very satisfied with the performance of God's Chosen Army. With such powerful destructive power, Antipas, who had not yet directly fought with the North, felt that even if he met the North again now, he would be able to fight. No, Antipas could not even think of how the North could defeat his God's Chosen Army.
The barrier of the capital was collapsing. Cliff stood on the top of the city wall and shouted to the soldiers and students holding weapons, "The capital is behind us. We have nowhere to retreat! My people, soldiers, support from the North will arrive soon. The goddess will be with us!"
As if in response to Cliff's words, when the defense of the royal capital was about to collapse, holy lights suddenly descended from the sky, which parted the clouds and shone directly outside the city wall.
These holy lights seemed to be directly connected to the sky, directly blocking the path of the demon monsters from attacking the royal capital. Some of the chosen ones were directly illuminated by the holy lights and even began to fester and collapse.
Even Antipas was blinded by the holy light, but he could feel that his precious chosen one was being gradually dissolved by the holy light.
Fortunately, the holy light did not last very long, and Antipas recovered quickly. However, two unlucky chosen ones did not escape the range of the holy light and were killed. Looking at the chosen ones gradually rotting and disappearing, Antipas looked at the city wall with increasing rage.
Shouldn't the Royal Capital Army collapse at the first blow? Why do humans have so many cards up their sleeves, as if they can't use them all?
"The plan has changed. The humans in the capital have gone completely crazy. There is no value in cooperation. We will not stop fighting after we defeat them."
Antipas gave the order coldly, which made the demons around him show expressions of ecstasy. Not sealing the swords meant that the demons could be free from restraint and do whatever they wanted. Upon hearing the order, many demons immediately recovered from the baptism of holy light and licked their lips excitedly.
The demons quickly reorganized their offensive, even more frantically than before. Cliff could clearly feel that before, the demons might have wanted to take over the capital in its entirety, but now they were determined to capture the capital at all costs. The capital's barrier had long been overloaded and was completely unable to operate.
Cliff dragged his tired body and pointed the sword in his hand viciously in the direction of the demons' attack. At this moment, a continuous rumbling sound suddenly came from the distance, with undulating melody and layers of it, surging like a tsunami, as if it could shake the earth.
That was the roar of a tank engine.
