“Ding, dong! You’re about to destroy the King’s Flag. Do you confirm?
“Hint. There is no gain from destroying the equipment. The equipment is of a higher grade. Please, decide carefully!”
Hearing the hint, Li Cheng pressed the confirm button without thinking.
A strange fluctuation was emitted and then, the magnificent flag in Li Cheng’s hand instantly disappeared. Just like that, the flag of the Kingdom of Gold that expanded its territory disappeared in the long river of history.
Li Cheng clapped his hands in satisfaction. Then, his gaze fell on the last item, a key.
[Key to the Imperial Warehouse]
[Description: The key to the Kingdom of Gold’s warehouse that can open all restrictions.]
..
With this key, he could access the Kingdom of Gold’s Imperial Warehouse. No matter how weak the City of the Sun was, it was still a city that had existed for thousands of years. Even if they did not have any divine equipment, their trash equipment would definitely have piled up like a mountain. Li Cheng could use those items as quest rewards.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng’s gaze swept across the entire City of the Sun. After killing the king, the troops’ morale instantly dropped by 80% and they were almost defeated. Other than a few elite troops, the rest of them ran away in panic.
Li Cheng’s gaze fell on the tallest and most prosperous building. Although this building was relatively simple compared to those from the Kingdom of Kent and the Kingdom of Modill, it was probably the Imperial Palace of the City of the Sun.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng waved his hand and all the troops began to advance towards the Imperial Palace.
A few minutes later.
“Ding, dong! You’ve killed the Epic-grade Boss, the kingdom’s captain of the guards. You’ve triggered a ten thousand times increase…
“Ding, dong…”
As his health bar was emptied, a tall man’s body slowly fell to the ground. Li Cheng rubbed his nose. The person he had just killed seemed to be the captain of the guards of the Kingdom of Gold. However, he did not care anymore. In any case, it was an instant kill.
Li Cheng casually picked up the various spoils of war on the ground and looked at them. There was nothing good. Then, Li Cheng’s gaze was on Prince Rigg, who was hiding behind the throne, trembling.
Li Cheng was too lazy to talk to him. He said coldly, “Your Highness, I’ll give you two choices. Decide.
“First, submit to the Kingdom of Kent. As a vassal, I think you know better than me what you should do.
“Second, sacrifice yourself for your country. Of course, my troops are few in numbers, so it’s impossible to kill all of you. Perhaps someone will become the new king in three days. Guess who it’ll be?”
Li Cheng paused for a moment, then continued with a sneer, “Which cousin do you think the new king should be? Or which uncle of yours?”
Hearing Li Cheng’s words, Prince Rigg’s pupils constricted. He understood what Li Cheng meant. His death would have no meaning and would only leave a short record in the history books. After that, there would be nothing left.
Li Cheng had only been here for three days. He definitely would not be able to kill everyone in the Kingdom of Gold in time. The royal family would not die completely and would naturally inherit the throne.
Thinking of this, Prince Rigg’s eyes wavered. This was tens of thousands of times more terrifying than him dying.
However, this was also the most effective method. Prince Rigg hesitated for a moment before saying with difficulty, “I choose the first option. Please, don’t kill me.”
As Prince Rigg’s words fell, the rumbling sound of the system suddenly rang.
“Ding, dong! World announcement. The Kingdom of Gold has become a vassal of the Kingdom of Kent. As a vassal, the Kingdom of Gold will hand over thirty percent of its resources and will permanently open its territory. All troops will be under the command of the Kingdom of Kent!
“Ding, dong! World announcement. The Kingdom of Gold and the Kingdom of Kent have signed an agreement. From today onward, the Kingdom of Gold declares the Universe Alliance players as hostile. Anyone who trespasses will be killed immediately!
“Ding, dong! World announcement…”
Hearing the world announcements, the players from the Divine Dragon Alliance were stunned again.
“F*ck, that’s awesome. Netherworld has already taken care of the Kingdom of Gold?”
“I heard that they’re a very powerful NPC kingdom that has been independent for thousands of years. How could it be so easily conquered by Netherworld?”
“I have a question. What’s the relationship between Netherworld and the Kingdom of Kent?”
“Have you been away for a few days? Netherworld is the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Kent.”
“Hahaha, let the Universe Alliance be arrogant and concealer become our vassal, right? Have you woken up from your dream? It’s time for you to familiarize yourself with how to be a vassal!”
“Hahaha, just thinking about it makes me happy…”
The Divine Dragon Alliance players were in a good mood. The Universe Alliance had always been a small alliance. At the beginning of the game, they only relied on the Divine Dragon Alliance to survive.
It was only in recent years that the Divine Dragon Alliance’s strength had declined. When the strength of the Universe Alliance’s players increased, they finally got rid of the Divine Dragon Alliance’s control. This was also the reason why the Universe Alliance hated the Divine Dragon Alliance.
Similarly, this was also the reason why the players of the Divine Dragon Alliance were angry. This time, what Li Cheng had done helped them vent their anger.
On the other hand, everyone from the Universe Alliance was stunned. Their eyes were lifeless and they could not believe what they had just heard.
“How’s this possible? The Kingdom of Gold’s one of the strongest NPC kingdoms in our alliance!”
“I’ve entered the City of the Sun before. There are hundreds of millions of high-level troops, as well as Diamond-grade city walls and defense towers. How did Netherworld break through the city’s defenses?”
“F*ck, the Kingdom of Gold’s full of weaklings. Our Universe Alliance is such a powerful existence. How can we become a vassal of another alliance? How the F*CKING f*ck!”
“That’s right, the NPCs of the Kingdom of Gold are all weaklings!”
“In the end, it still depends on the Li Nan Kingdom!”
The players of the Universe Alliance were all excited. They simply could not accept the fact that they had become a vassal. Hence, they excluded the Kingdom of Gold from their alliance.
..
As the sound of the system faded, Li Cheng blew on his staff. This time, he was sure that the players of the Universe Alliance would not be comfortable with the outcome. They were now not able to enter nearly half of the territory in the north at all.
Li Cheng’s goal for this alliance war was also very clear. To make the Kingdom of Gold as a vassal. The next step would be to destroy the Kingdom of Li Nan.
Compared to the Kingdom of Gold, the most famous characteristic of the Kingdom of Li Nan was its fickleness and its extremely disgusting behavior.
For example, if one was strong now, they would appear to be very obedient existences on the surface. Once one’s strength decreased a little, they would begin plotting and scheming.
Even if other alliances were attacking, the Li Nan Kingdom might become a traitor. Hence, Li Cheng did not think highly of such a kingdom at all..
