Chapter 817 The Twisted Melon Is Not Sweet, but It Quenches Your Thirst

The throne of a hundred feet high is towering, and a group of ghosts are crouching.

This is a scene where the whole city is excited.

The one sitting firmly on the throne is Shen Jian, the fourth prince of the Eli Empire royal family.

His figure is majestic and majestic.

He raised his finger slightly, and half of Eagle City was oppressed by this supreme aura. Fear arose in his heart, and he did not dare to look directly at it.

this moment.

Horror swept through the audience.

It shocked all the ghost people and their eyes were in a trance.

Among them, the ones who reacted the most were undoubtedly the Duke of Elk and Earl Aino, as well as various representatives of the southern nobles.

Their eyes almost popped out of their heads.

The grimacing faces were full of disbelief.

Damn it!

Is this riding horse the fourth prince?

With this pomp, momentum, and coercion, no one would doubt that the king was here.

The Fourth Prince is hiding too deeply.

When did he possess this ability?

The eyes of the representatives of the southern nobles were filled with confusion.

There is no doubt that this is definitely ghost-level strength.

Among all the princes and princesses, only the third prince and princess are ghosts and gods, and the others, such as the eldest prince, the second prince, and the sixth prince and daughter, are just the top ghost kings.

Not to mention anything else, relying on this alone, the fourth prince's possibility of winning the King's Trial can be increased by 50% out of thin air.

after all.

The foundation of the Eli Empire royal family is still strength.

Without strength, no matter how good the management of the territory is, he is still not a qualified king.

In particular, the origin of the King's Trial is the special rules derived by the four largest holy families in the kingdom to ensure the king's qualifications.

And the reason why the four holy families can check and balance the royal family and intervene in the birth of the king is based on their strength, isn't it?

As a king, if he does not have a comparable level of terror, then his throne is like water without roots and will be lost at any time.

at the moment.

What the fourth prince has shown is no weaker than other royal heirs, and is even slightly better.

For a while.

The ghosts have different thoughts.

His face was cloudy and uncertain.

Because that's really the worst case scenario.

If the fourth prince just wants their support, then they are naturally willing. But the problem now is that the fourth prince has adopted a more domineering approach, intending to capture the entire southern territory and become the master of the southern territory.

This is an unacceptable fact for any noble with a foundation and a fiefdom.

They don't want to lose their autonomous jurisdiction.

some of.

Duke Elk was the most rebellious.

He is the largest representative of the aristocratic power in the Southern Territory. In this three-acre area of ​​the Southern Territory, he is basically the local emperor and has greater say than the royal family.

If he were not afraid of the strength of the royal family and the four holy families, he would have no problem establishing a new kingdom on his own.

And what Shen Jian did was to dig out his roots.

"Fourth Prince, do you really want to fight me to the death? As long as you withdraw now, I can pretend that none of this has happened, and the Duke's Palace will do its best to help you win the King's Trial, and the price is, The southern border remains independent.”

Duke Elk looked at his two dismembered arms with red eyes, tried hard to suppress his anger towards Shen Jian, and stated his conditions.

the other side.

On the throne, Shen Jian looked strange and said: "By capturing this place, I can not only get the entire Eagle City, but also make the entire Southern Territory listen to my orders. Why do I need a Duke's Mansion to help me? Xiaolu, fortunately you don't do it Business, otherwise all the designated pants will be left.”

Duke Elk:…

Veins popped out on his forehead.

Xiaolu, where are you?

If you need help, just go to the duke, and if you have nothing to do, go to the little deer. You are too ugly to act like a horse.

It’s so frustrating.

He was the Duke of the Southern Territory, when had he ever been so humble and humble?

but……

In order not to fight to the death, he endured it.

The worst case scenario is that the queen will rush to join the third princess and stab the fourth prince in the back.

then.

He said with a stiff face: "Your Highness, that happened after you captured Eagle City. With the five hundred militia in your hands, the Duke's Palace can kill you even if it uses a hundred times the number of people. What's more, the southern border The forces are intertwined, and without the Duke's Palace interfering with them, Your Highness's orders cannot be spread at all."

Shen Jian nodded slightly.

Just when Duke Elk thought he had convinced Shen Jian, the next second, Shen Jian on the throne said expressionlessly: "What you say makes sense, but I don't listen. What I like most is the twisted melon, sweet or not." Besides, at least it will quench your thirst.”

Speaking of which.

Shen Jian's lips curled up.

"On the other hand, Xiaolu, you are too murderous and selfish. You can obviously solve the problem peacefully, but you insist on starting a war again."

"Blindly giving in will not bring about your awakening."

"You know, I can get angry too."

Blessed by the voice of ghosts and gods, Shen Jian's voice turned into a tidal wave, sweeping out, majestic and loud, shaking the whole city.

Duke Elk:? ? ?

What nonsense are you talking about?

God just gives in.

This is my line.

besides.

It was obviously you who started the war. If you hadn't attacked Eagle City, where would the war have come from?

You know how to confuse right and wrong.

For those who don't know, I am afraid that they will really be taken by Shen Jian's momentum and words, and subconsciously believe these words, thus tilting all the dissatisfaction to him, leaving him with the blame for the war.

You are so angry.

I haven’t even said a damn thing about being angry yet.

Think of this.

Duke Elk's face darkened.

I knew I couldn't let Shen Jian continue talking, otherwise this black thing would really be said to be white.

However.

Just when he was about to retort.

Shen Jian moved.

Reach out and explore.

On the throne that was more than a hundred feet high, among the turbulent clouds, a big hand with solid clouds stretched out, like the hand of God reaching out from the world, grabbing towards the direction of Eagle City.

And the target is clearly Duke Elk.

Duke Elk:! ! !

Looking at the giant hand holding up the sky, his pupils shrank suddenly, and his soul emerged.

grass

What kind of ghost are you? Why are you so powerful in your supernatural attack?

I run now, is it still too late?

A look of fear crept onto Duke Elk's face.

He subconsciously expanded the ghost realm to avoid the sharp edge.

…

at the same time.

Inside Eagle City.

Looking at the huge hand that stirred up the wind and clouds, like a blow from the sky, the ghosts all shuddered.

Completely dumbfounded.

Especially Count Aino, whose grimace turned green and green.

Emma.

Playing so big?

Turn it up as soon as you come up?

You are not taking the usual path.

According to his understanding, even if the two of them broke down and really wanted to fight to the death, they would definitely have to test it out first.

When it comes to fighting, only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you be victorious in every battle.

When two people are both ghosts and gods, and do not know the details, a normal supernatural confrontation should be to test a few moves first to find out the other party's supernatural strength and the characteristics of the supernatural attack.

After careful consideration, decide whether to retreat or explode with all your strength to kill the opponent.

This is the normal procedure for supernatural confrontation.

But the fourth prince was different.

He really opened it up.

He showed no mercy at all and launched an earth-shattering attack.

This move not only stunned them, but also the Elk Duke was shocked, and he subconsciously chose to avoid this supernatural attack.

See this.

Shen Jian was indifferent.

Reach out and explore again.

Another giant hand reaching up to the sky stretched out and grabbed the ghost realm of Duke Elk.

Count Aino:!

All the ghost people:! !

Duke Elk:! ! !

I'm crazy.

Don't your ultimate moves have a cooldown time?

Or……

In fact, this is just your flat a? !

In such horror, the ghosts stared with wide eyes, looking at the owner of Eagle City, the largest noble representative in the southern region, the Duke of the Kingdom, a being who is infinitely close to the world-destroying ghosts and gods. Caught by the giant hand.

No matter how hard Duke Elk struggled, he couldn't break free.

He could only watch as his body was caught in the air and landed in front of Shen Jian, like a prisoner.

this moment.

Duke Elk panicked.

Alarm bells are ringing in my heart.

He never thought that his existence, which was infinitely close to the world-destroying ghost and god, would be so vulnerable.

That weird throne suppressed his strength too hard.

So much so that he couldn't even put up a decent resistance.

What on earth is that?

Some special type of ghost land?

"Your Highness, what do you want to do? I am the Duke of Southern Territory, a nobleman conferred by the king himself. Do you still want to kill me? Do you dare?"

Duke Elk was still trying to struggle.

He didn't believe that Shen Jian dared to kill him.

To know.

No matter how you say it, he is still a duke of the kingdom. Looking at the entire Eli Empire, there are only two people like him who have obtained the title of duke with no more than two hands.

In addition to the four holy families, there is also one from each of the four realms.

Killing him would cause a chain reaction that a prince, Shen Jian, could not bear. The trial for kingship would also be affected, and even the royal family would personally intervene.

Shen Jian looked at Duke Elk steadily.

then.

The strange color in his eyes deepened.

"I have never heard of such a request in my life, but since you said so, I will satisfy you."

The words fell.

Before Duke Elk could react, he crushed the opponent's ghost body with his giant hand.

With a crackling sound, Duke Elk's body collapsed like a puddle of mud, the luster in his eyes dissipated, and the supernatural aura reaction disappeared.

Do it all.

Shen Jian opened the Blood Pool Hell and threw his body into it.

Be prepared to serve as a blood donation bank.

…

the other side.

Seeing Duke Elk's body being crushed into pieces and falling into a state of death, Earl Aino and other representatives of the southern nobles were stunned.

His head exploded.

I just feel like my mind is buzzing.

died?

Did the fourth prince really kill Duke Elk?

How dare he?

Isn't he afraid that his trial for the king will be affected or even be deprived of his qualifications?

Isn't he afraid that his behavior will make all the nobles in the kingdom hostile and ruin his position as crown prince, or even the throne?

No matter what they thought, they couldn't figure out the reason why the fourth prince killed the Elk Duke.

It can't really be the Duke of Elk's request, so the fourth prince should just comply.

This is such a child's play.

The kind that no one would believe if you tell me.

this moment.

The ghosts could not calm down for a long time.

Not only because of the death of Duke Elk, but also because of the change of ownership of Eagle City.

Once Duke Elk dies, the fourth prince will no longer have any restrictions in the south.

He is the uncrowned king of the South.

Lord of the South. (End of chapter)
