Chapter 737 - 737 737 The King is dead
737: Chapter 737 The King is dead 737: Chapter 737 The King is dead Reviewing the war report, Zhao Guang was utterly speechless as the Prince had practically caged himself in.
In fact, Balola was also completely baffled when she learned the Prince had led his people out voluntarily, which made her feel very concerned.
After all, the forces at the Prince’s disposal were indeed formidable.
Her side didn’t have as many people as the other, and the only advantage was that her Mage Army was still intact.
But what Balola didn’t expect was that Sikell actually led all his people into the valley.
That valley was indeed the necessary route to take to get through, but the surrounding hills were not too high.
After all, it was in the central lands of the Empire, where there were no major mountain ranges, so Balola had thought the other party had some other tricks up its sleeve.
However, after a series of inspections, Balola frustratingly found that Sikell had prepared absolutely nothing.
There were no ambushers on the hillside, no hidden troops on either side of the valley, and no one in the center of the hill range.
No, it would be more accurate to say that there wasn’t even an envoy outside; only at the entrance to the valley were people watching her army.
When Balola realized this, she didn’t know what to say.
No wonder the two of them had performed so terribly; now she understood.
Balola immediately sought out Gaoer, and after discussing it, they set up camp near the entrance to the valley.
At that moment, seeing that they had stopped and were not attacking, Sikell and those around him were very pleased, thinking that their strategy had finally succeeded.
Indeed, in such a narrow place, even a vast army would not dare to start a battle lightly.
Only in the following few days, the people from the Prince’s camp did nothing; they just waited here.
What they didn’t expect was that Balola had sent people along a small path through the mountains, blocking off the other side of the valley, and some had climbed up the cliffs on both sides.
When the battle started, Sikell was shocked to find that he had been surrounded.
From the cliff sides, stones and arrows kept falling, and the attacks from above were very precise and powerful.
In addition, with many Mages on both sides, the entire valley was lit ablaze.
Before long, they couldn’t take it anymore.
Unfortunately for them, both entrances to the valley were blocked, and they couldn’t even make their way out.
This was no longer catching turtles in a jar; this was like electrofishing in a fish tank.
The battle was over in less than two hours, and a thoroughly defeated Sikell surrendered himself.
He stopped thinking too deeply about anything because he had never experienced so much.
Even on the battlefield, he had always been in the rear and had never been to the front line.
Now, being trapped and attacked brought such a fear of death that Sikell completely lost control of himself.
When he shouted his surrender loudly, the others also quickly collapsed.
It didn’t take long for everyone to capitulate.
Afterwards, the process of cleaning up took three days to completely clear out and take control of all the people.
Looking at the war report, Zhao Guang remained silent for a long time.
“It seems that no matter how strong an army is, if the commander is incompetent, it’s of no use,” Zhao Guang sighed, but, at last, this dispute had come to an end, and there should be stability ahead.
Large numbers of refugees were assembling toward his territory, which was now under tremendous pressure.
But no matter, the food that Zhao Guang had purchased was already being delivered in an ongoing manner.
With all this food, there should be no problem with a bountiful harvest next time.
As for those on Earth who wondered why he bought so much food, Zhao Guang couldn’t be bothered.
After all, with his identity and strength, he feared nothing, so let them guess as they would.
On this side, he was openly associated with Balola, which made him part of her direct lineage.
Thus, Balola’s rise to power was greatly beneficial to him.
Next, he just needed to consider how to develop his territory.
The development of the territory was very useful for Zhao Guang.
Because he employed a great number of Mages, his territory was evolving towards becoming a Mage Holy Land.
With the arrival of so many Mages, Zhao Guang delegated much of the research to them.
Now, with his research moving forward at an increasing pace, his own strength was growing more rapidly.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before he might reach the pinnacle of being a Great Mage.
From there, breaking through to the level of a Legendary Mage would mean nothing could scare him anymore.
What Zhao Guang didn’t expect, though, was that at this point, the situation changed again.
Just two days later, Zhao Guang suddenly received urgent news from the Imperial City.
“Master, we’ve just received word that the King has died.”
Zhao Guang was taken aback, puzzled, “Dead, how is that possible?
Wasn’t the King in good health?
He couldn’t possibly be pretending, could he?” Zhao Guang was puzzled, wondering if this was a ploy to probe the Princess.
“Not sure, the King’s death is very suspicious, but the body has been recognized by everyone.”
“With the Princess not in the Imperial City and the King now dead, this matter seems quite troublesome.”
“Indeed, but the Second Princess is in the Imperial City, and she has claimed that the Princess had killed the King before, and the one who appeared later was a stand-in.”
Well, Zhao Guang chuckled directly; the Royal Family’s affairs certainly were plentiful—an endless stream of dramas.
It seems that the allure of that position is indeed great, no matter which world it is in.
“So, has the Second Princess assumed the throne?”
Now the Prince has erred and been caught, the Second Prince is dead, and the youngest Princess is too young.
With only the two Princesses left with a claim to the throne, the Second Princess goes directly for the Princess, leaving only herself as the successor.
“She has assumed the position, and she has garnered the support of Duke Awgus.
But it’s said that most of the nobles do not approve, yet they have no choice now, as the Second Princess has already taken control of the Imperial City.”
“Does the Second Princess have that many forces?
And how did she gain the support of Duke Awgus?”
“Apparently, the Second Princess married Awgus’s second son, Arthur, promising him the position of Prince.
As for other reasons, that’s unclear.
It’s unlikely to be just because of that,”
Zhao Guang nodded; after all, they were among the two dukes, whose positions in the Empire were unshakable.
Unless one planned to become King, ordinary offers wouldn’t persuade them to make such a choice.
The Second Princess really kept a low profile; it was always thought that the Second Princess was only good at business, but who knew she was so adept politically.
The timing of her move was precise, and her actions ruthlessly executed.
Even the two Princes probably never thought of laying hands on their own father.
