"Hegemony... Hegemony color."
Doge supported his body with the greatsword in his hand and stood steadily in place. His eyes quickly scanned Vivian's figure in the park, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not detect any trace of the other party's breath.
Until a few seconds later..
"Hey, are you looking for me?"
A teasing voice came into my ears from behind, and my hair stood on end instantly.
Wha..when?!
This guy's speed...
No, he was so much stronger than me that I couldn't even notice him moving.
He muttered to himself, his whole body frozen in place, the strong pressure made him a little breathless.
"Who are you..." Doug asked with trembling lips.
"Can't you tell who I am?"
Vivian blew a smoke ring towards Doc's face, and his domineering aura soared to the extreme. Except for Doc, all the soldiers who were still able to hold on just now collapsed to the ground at this moment.
It was not until this moment that Doc saw clearly the face hidden under the brim of the hat. It was none other than the number one figure in the world today, Alfred Vivian!
"Thunder...Swordsman?!"
"Yeah, that's right."
Vivian nodded and patted Doge's shoulder with a gratified expression: "You finally recognized me."
Doc: “…”
Finally... I recognized you
If I had recognized it was you earlier, would I have brought these thousand troops to fight you
Even if he was given 10,000 soldiers, he wouldn't have the courage to do that!
"Vivian, you actually came to our country in person? Wait...don't you never kill civilians indiscriminately?"
"Yeah, I didn't kill any civilians." Vivian spread his hands.
Since he landed on the island, not only did he not touch a single civilian, he even only stunned the soldiers of the Taro Kingdom with his domineering aura, and did not hurt anyone at all.
Ronald, however..
Looking back at the park that had been bombed into a wasteland, he couldn't help but smacked his lips and shook his head. "You killed that guy yourself. It has nothing to do with me. But you guys were too ruthless, weren't you? With the intensity of the bombing just now, I'm afraid he must have been blown into a pulp. No... If we look for him now, we might only find some charcoal slag."
Doc: “…”
"It doesn't matter whether Ronald dies or not."
"You mean to say that your king has never regarded Ronald as his own son?" Vivian said.
"No." Doug shook his head. "On the contrary, the king has always treated Master Ronald as his own son."
"Why did he?"
Vivian was curious.
It was obvious that Doge led his troops to capture him under the king's order. He did not think that this guy would be so courageous as to kill the young nobleman whom the king regarded as his own son.
"I don't know the details, but not long after the war between you and the Celestial Dragons on Marijoa ended three months ago, our king has become a different person. He has changed from being kind and gentle as before to becoming more and more irritable."
"Three months ago?"
Vivian raised an eyebrow.
Three months ago, Ling and Yinm fled one after another. Yinm, who was left with only his brain, disappeared. Without a new body, he didn't think that guy would have the courage to continue to show up in public, so the result was obvious.
There is a 99% chance that Zero, after fleeing in defeat, came to the Taro Kingdom and controlled the king here through some special means, making him work for him, which led to a series of events afterwards.
"Confronting the new government is something none of us wants to see. Our country hasn't fought a war for a long time. No one wants to confront you and the navy, but under the orders of the King, we as soldiers have no choice but to obey." Doge added, his tone full of helplessness.
"I know. Soldiers must obey their superiors' orders unconditionally. We just have different positions. I won't blame you."
Vivian said, smiling as she stepped forward and patted Doc's shoulder.
However, just when Doug was slightly relieved, he heard Vivian continue, "But if you have different positions, you must bear the consequences of your different positions. So even if you are killed by me, you should not have any complaints, right?"
Multiple cells: ∑(っ°Д°;)っ
...
Taro Kingdom, inside the palace.
"Has it been resolved?"
"Your Majesty, the thousand soldiers in the park did not succeed in annihilating the enemy. Instead, they all fell into a coma."
"What about that kid Ronald?"
Holding the crutch tightly in his right hand, Scanf pretended to be calm and asked the soldier who came to report the news.
The soldier looked up and glanced at Scanf, hesitated for about two seconds, and then answered hesitantly: "Master Ronald... Ronald died in the indiscriminate bombardment."
Bang!
The sound of a cane falling to the ground.
Hearing this, Scanf couldn't help but tremble all over. His face turned red, and he began to mutter to himself, "Dead...dead? Just died like that? The son I raised for more than 30 years, just died like that?"
Why is this
Why did I give the order for soldiers to launch indiscriminate artillery fire
He looked at the sky outside the window in confusion.
"Yes..."
It was Master Ling who told him to give the order in this way.
Lord Ling's words are never wrong, so my son's death can only be blamed on that guy named Vivian.
"Thunder Swordsman! I, Scanf, will make you pay with blood!" He roared angrily and kept pounding the wooden table in front of him.
However, at the moment when he was furious, another soldier rushed in from outside the door, knelt down in front of Scanf, and said with sweat on his forehead: "No... It's bad! The treasury of our palace has been emptied!"
"What?!"
Scanff stood up from his chair suddenly. "How could this happen? Why did this happen?"
"No... I'm not sure, but there seems to be a fruit ability user among them who is responsible for digging holes. They dug a tunnel directly into the treasury and looted all the wealth inside. If someone hadn't happened to patrol there and took a look, we probably wouldn't know that the treasury had been robbed until now!"
"The one who is responsible for digging the hole?"
Upon hearing this, Scanf was so angry that he covered his forehead, and then looked around blankly: "Where is Lord Ling? Where is Lord Ling? Go and inform Lord Ling!
”
"yes!"
