[0225] The death of the old king
Darkwill's current status is certainly because he hugged Black Rose's thigh tightly, but... before that, he at least relied on himself to gain the opportunity to hug Black Rose's thigh tightly.
After all, hugging someone's thigh is the same as being hugged by a rich woman. There are basic requirements.
To say how smart and powerful Darkwill is is obviously an exaggeration, but to say that he is just a mediocre person is also an exaggeration.
The fact that he was able to reach the position where he hugged Black Rose's thigh was entirely achieved by his own sword and gun. The former Guards was also an elite division that was no less than the current Northern Army!
Seeing the overwhelming defeat of the troops in the front position, at this moment, Darkwill finally saw the situation clearly - in this battle, he had been completely defeated, and there was no room for comeback.
However, unlike Darkwill who looked down upon everything, his attendant still had illusions - the young man who had followed Darkwill for three years tried his best to persuade Darkwill to go to the Black Forest area to seek a chance to make a comeback.
That's right, the Black Forest area can barely be regarded as Darkwill's reservation. Darkwill who climbed up there still has the ability to respond to everything there.
But the problem is that the Black Forest is just a narrow foothill area adjacent to the Iron Thorn Mountains. Strictly speaking, it should be part of the Iron Thorn Mountains.
So what if you can respond to hundreds of requests in this small place?
Will Swain be foolish enough to give himself time to make a comeback?
Will Lord Varrokan of the Dredge Keep in the Ironthorn Mountains use his head to please the new Noxian leader?
No chance - if I had realized everything earlier, there would have been hope, but as of now, I have completely lost.
If you lose, you lose.
After shaking his head and rejecting the suggestions of the attendants, Darkwill tried to understand himself.
As the Emperor of Noxus, taking matters into your own hands is the last bit of dignity you can do.
Unfortunately, when things came to a head, Darkwill was a little reluctant to take action.
Whether he cooperates with the Black Rose or ascends the throne of the emperor, the reason for all this is that Darkwill hopes that he can live for a long time. Although he is a general, Darkwill is more afraid of death than anyone else.
His strong desire to survive was once his motivation to climb up, but now, after the tragic failure, when he was planning to give up his life, this desire to survive has become an extremely embarrassing obstacle.
The sharp sword was placed on his neck, and the cold blade weighed more than a thousand pounds at this moment - Darkwill was still unable to cleanly cut off his trachea.
After hesitating for a long time, he finally handed the sword to the attendant.
"Give me a good time."
……………………
The servant who was regarded as a confidant did not kill Darkwill after all - not out of respect or any other reason, but simply because the living Darkwill was more valuable.
After all, according to Noxian tradition, the merit of capturing someone is greater than killing the enemy.
Anyway, Darkwill is finished, so a living Darkwill is naturally much more useful than a dead one.
After taking the sword, the attendant knocked Darkwill violently with the hilt of the sword, then hurriedly tore off the flag representing Darkwill's identity and tied the Noxian emperor into a pile of rice dumplings.
After confirming that Darkwill could not escape or break away, the attendant happily approached Swain.
Unfortunately, facing the excited attendants, Swain was not overjoyed, but looked at Darkwill who woke up from a daze.
"His Majesty."
"Jericho." Darkwill, who was tied into a rice dumpling, also looked at Swain, "Give me a good time."
"good."
Swain agreed with great ease - five minutes later, the former Emperor of Noxus, Brown Darkwill, who had always dreamed of immortality, was officially executed.
As for the attendant who excitedly thought he could get a reward... he got a pound of gold as he wished - distinct grains of gold sand, and poured it into his mouth.
"I can tolerate infidelity, and I don't dislike betrayal." Amid the wailing of the servants, Swain's words were extremely scary, "But... there must be at least a bottom line."
……………………
The victory in a battle brought Swain's momentum to its peak. After defeating the team led by Darkwill, he continued to lead his troops north, aiming directly at the Immortal Fortress - and with the execution of Darkwill
, the entire Immortal Fortress was in chaos.
The nobles who were worried about being liquidated were in a panic, and many people began to drag their families and leave overnight. In short, let's go to the Principality of Valoran first to avoid the limelight. Swain is famous for being unkind!
Coupled with the fact that the Guards were dragged away by Darkwill, the defense of the entire Immortal Fortress was empty to the extreme.
Architecturally speaking, this ancient fortress is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack, but no matter how easy it is to defend, at least there must be someone to defend it.
With the collapse of the remaining Guards organizations, the fortress is rapidly losing its defensive capabilities.
Then, at this juncture, Bernerman, the loyal artist of the Immortal Fortress, stood up beyond everyone's expectations.
When everyone lost the confidence to continue fighting, he used his amazing gift of rhetoric to give speeches one after another. He inspired the nobles in the salon and united the people in the central square - despite all the promises and all the
The plans are all empty words, but at least he gives everyone a quality that everyone lacks.
confidence.
With Bernerman's continuous efforts, the nobles who stayed in the Immortal Fortress reached a temporary political alliance, and finally put the defense of the Immortal Fortress on the agenda.
Private soldiers began to gather, weapons and equipment were distributed to the people, most of the city gates were closed, and food supplies from nearby areas outside the city were all delivered to the city...
Although Bernerman is a great artist, he also talks endlessly when talking about the city defense plan.
In this way, when Swain finally led his troops to the Immortal Fortress, what he saw was not a city filled with panic, but a hedgehog with spikes all over its body.
The Guards soldiers holding sharp blades and shields stood tremblingly behind the crenellations - although they were just rookies who had not experienced war, the tall city walls and crenellations were their best cover. After occupying the defensive position, they
What you have to do is not to rush up and fight the opponent, but to pull out the ladder on the wall and kill the enemies trying to climb the wall.
And this job is not difficult for them.
In this way, when Swain led his team to the Immortal Fortress after a long and dusty journey, he faced a solid wall and a clear field, with layers of resistance.
