I Ascend To the Throne of God with Arcane Magic Chapter 355

Chapter 355: Capture Huangshi City

Huangshi City, in the Palace of Berdych,

In the palace, which is still luxurious and resplendent, the guards, attendants and maids who should usually be standing around are nowhere to be seen, and the atmosphere of the entire palace is particularly depressing.

“Your Majesty, please leave the palace immediately!”

“It won't be long before the Fez army arrives at Huangshi City!”

In front of the throne, several people knelt on the ground and spoke sincerely to the throne, their words full of urgency.

Berdych's army has completely collapsed, and most of the soldiers have been captured by the Fez army. Those who escaped back to Huangshi City brought back the news of the great defeat.

The entire Huangshi City was in a state of turmoil, especially during the decisive battle between the two parties. The gate of Huangshi City was attacked desperately by a group of people and was completely destroyed.

Now Huangshi City is like a beautiful woman who has taken off her clothes. Even if there are still some soldiers left behind, they can't stand it at all.

 Unable to resist the invasion of Fes army.

John Berdych was still wearing his luxurious royal robes of pure gold. His fat body was shaking crazily on the throne, unable to listen to the persuasion of the servants below.

 “I won't go, I won't go!”

“That's an army of 200,000 people, I don't believe it!”

"How is it possible? Where is the mage group? Where is Wendell? What are they doing!"

"This is impossible. Where is that **** guy Wood? Didn't he promise me that there would be no problem? How could everything be gone all at once!"

 “I don't believe it, I don't believe it! This must be a lie!”

 The servants below looked at the mad King above with anxious expressions on their faces.

They are different from ordinary guards and servants. They have been specially trained by the Berdych royal family since childhood, and they are absolutely loyal to the Berdych royal family, even if it costs their lives.

“Your Majesty, during the decisive battle, Archmage Wendel was restrained by Marquis Kane of the Kingdom of Fes, and it is estimated that the situation is very doomed.”

“The Royal Mage Group was disrupted by the death warriors specially arranged by the Kingdom of Fes and has surrendered.”

“It is estimated that the people who attacked Huangshi City's gate and armaments were the work of Marquis Kane.”

One of them quickly told John Berdych that no one could have imagined that the final result would be so outrageous.

 “How is it possible, how is it possible!”

 King John's face was flushed. This sudden change had broken through his psychological defense.

Originally, the army of the Kingdom of Fes had been pinned outside Huangshi City for several months. At first, King John was still worried all day long, fearing that one day he would wake up and hear the news that the Fes army had conquered Huangshi City.

Because of this, he even wanted to move the palace further east, but in the end he was persuaded by the ministers.

If possible, those noble ministers also want to leave, and no one can sleep well so close to the Fez army.

 But if the king leaves Huangshi City now, the entire situation may collapse in an instant, and there will be no room for recovery.

 When the two armies were facing each other, King John also decided to save money and use gold coins to support the army and boost morale.

But after some days, he suddenly realized that there didn't seem to be any big problem. The Fez army seemed to be weak and unable to break through the defense line outside Huangshi City.

 In this case, why spend so many more gold coins? You might as well enjoy it yourself.

So King Berdych returned to his previous life of lavish luxury, indulged in pleasure and even fantasized that one day the Fez army would automatically retreat.

 But who would have thought that this day in June would bring him such bad news.

“Marquis Cairn, who is that?”

 “I want him to die!”

  King John noticed the sudden appearance of the name, and the anger in his heart suddenly had a direction to pour out.

 “Where is the dead man? I want to hear the news of killing this man.”

The people kneeling below looked at each other, and then said cautiously:

“Your Majesty the King, this Marquis Kane is a gold-level mage, even stronger than Archmage Wendell.”

“More importantly, his teacher is the [Flame of Judgment] from the Kingdom of Fes.”

Although the servants did not finish what they said, the meaning was already very clear. Even John Berdych, who was always too lazy to think about questions, could hear it clearly.

 Legendary Mage [Flame of Judgment]!

How can it be?

King John sat slumped on the throne like a balloon that suddenly deflated, a little dazed.

 He knew very well the consequences of provoking such a powerful man who stood at the top of the world.

 Not to mention that his throne is almost in danger, even when the kingdom's national strength is intact, he will not choose to offend such a big shot.

In the eyes of [Flame of Judgment], as King Berdych, he is not much better than ordinary people.

 “Damn it. Why?”

 “Is this how the Berdych Kingdom is going to end?”

"no no."

  King John leaned on the throne with his eyes absent-minded. The luxurious decorations in the palace no longer brought him any pleasure, and now his eyes were full of darkness and coldness.

 Shall the foundation of the kingdom established by our ancestors be destroyed in my hands?

The people below listened helplessly to King John's murmurs, and when they were about to persuade His Majesty the King to leave quickly, a man stumbled in and shouted:

 “That's not good, Your Majesty!”

 “The Fez army has entered the city through the west gate!”

 “Our soldiers have completely broken up and fled!”

 “What, it's coming so fast!”

The people below were a little surprised. Although it had been some time since they received the news of the defeat in the decisive battle, there were too many Berdych soldiers scattered on the battlefield. Even if the Fez army wanted to completely control them, it would take a lot of time, right?

How could it be possible that you came here so quickly?

 It's not that fast to catch hundreds of thousands of pigs, right?

The army defending the city gate was quickly defeated. This was definitely not the main force of the Fez army but a small group of troops!

The situation was urgent, and everyone under the throne was ready to persuade His Majesty the King, but when they looked up, they found that King John's face was pale, his body was shaking with fear, and he no longer had the crazy feeling just now.

 The fear in his heart finally overwhelmed all the thoughts in the heart of His Majesty the King.

He doesn't care about the country, rights, or wealth. He just wants to escape alive.

 “Take me away quickly!”

“You **** guys, why don't you get me out of here quickly!”

 “I am King Berdych, I cannot die here!”

The servants had no time to say anything and hurriedly surrounded His Majesty the King and ran towards the secret passage of the palace.

 The entire palace and the entire Huangshi City have fallen into complete madness and chaos.

 “Lee Si!”

Bevis and the two dukes at the gate of Huangshi City are now arranging soldiers to quickly enter the city, preparing to control the capital of the Berdych Kingdom that has been in a stalemate for several months.

Bevis suddenly saw Li Si appearing not far away and hurried over.

At this time, Li Si had already put on a new mage robe. Apart from his slightly pale face, it was impossible to see any injuries on his body.

 “Looking at you like this, you're in pretty good shape!”

 “How is that Wendell doing now?”

Beavis slapped Li Si **** the shoulder and said with a smile. They all witnessed the battle between Li Si and Wendel on the battlefield, but after the surrender of the Berdych royal family, these two people did not know where they went.

 “Oh, he's dead.”

Li Si nodded and said, fortunately, his current physical fitness is equivalent to that of a gold-level warrior professional, otherwise Bevis's attack alone would have injured him.

 “This Wendell is indeed a respectable man.”

 At the end, I gave myself a big gift, which was really touching.

However, I guess this person wouldn't care if he knew about it. This person is different from the people Li Si has met before.

 “Well, that's really a pity.”

Bevis felt a little emotional. Wendell was indeed a respectable man. It would be great if he could serve the Kingdom of Fes.

With that person's reputation, he is likely to appease a lot of people, and controlling this land for the Kingdom of Fes will be of great benefit.

 “Stop talking about this, Mr. Li Si.”

Duke Baird also came over, with a cheerful smile on his face.

 Being able to capture Huangshi City and eliminate the last viable force of the Berdych Kingdom, this ending is already so wonderful.

The remaining Berdych territory is only a matter of time for the Fez army, and there will be no resistance at all when it is cleared.

 “Thanks to your help, we can achieve such great results.”

“Of course, it can be said that it is almost all the credit of His Excellency Li Si, but it makes us feel a little ashamed when we stop outside Huangshi City.”

Duke Ram said with a smile, everyone was in a good mood.

“Just leave the rest to us, it's all trivial matters.”

Duke Ram looked at Bevis and Baird, smiled and suggested:

“How about the Marquis of Kane getting 50% of the total loot this time?”

Baird and Beavis were stunned for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Duke Ram's proposal without saying anything.

 After the Fez army conquers a territory and city, it is customary for half of the harvest to be sent to the Bright City to present to His Majesty the King.

Of the remaining half, 25% will be divided among all soldiers and junior officers, and the remaining 25% will belong to several commanders present.

 What Duke Ram was referring to was that the two and a half percent belonged to Li Si.

 In fact, the three of them had no objections to this, and even felt that there were some shortcomings.

You must know that winning this decisive battle really depended on Li Si's actions.

Whether it was arranging dead soldiers to attack Berdych's army, attack the Royal Mage Group, or destroy Huangshi City, they all played an extremely important role.

Especially since Li Si himself restrained and killed Wendell, the mainstay of Berdych's army, and captured the Royal Mage Group, this sense of presence is really too strong.

 At the same time, in the eyes of the three of them, Li Si also paid a heavy price.

 Almost none of the dead soldiers who were arranged survived. Such a large number of dead soldiers almost exhausted the Kane family's wealth.

Li Si waved his hand and didn't pay much attention.

To be honest, Li Si didn't have much hope as to how much wealth Huangshi City could retain.

You must know that the Fez army has been in a stalemate outside Huangshi City for a long time, and the nobles with a little foresight have already transferred their wealth to other places.

As for the civilians, because of Wendel's request, Li Si had already lost his temper with Bivis, and Bivis agreed to restrain the soldiers' behavior as much as possible and not to disturb the civilians of Huangshi City.

 This is the limit that Li Si can achieve. After all, the military discipline of Fes's army is good. They came here more to occupy this land than to plunder.

 As for the few accidents that may happen, there is nothing we can do about it.

Li Si is not a saint or a god, and it is impossible to completely avoid those things from happening.

“Speaking of this, I would like to get more magic books if possible.”

Li Si said with a smile and expressed his request.

"no problem!"

The three of Bivis didn't pay much attention to it. None of them were mages. Although the magic book was precious, they didn't pay much attention to it.

“Haha, this time it's over. There's nothing going on here in the Berdych Kingdom. I'm going to go back to Bright Light City.”

Li Si thought about it for a moment and said to the three people in front of him.

 Especially Duke Ram and Duke Baird.

　　“This time I came back from the sea and passed by the port of Den Erluo. I really liked it there.”

“This time when I return to Bright Light City, I may ask Your Majesty to use it as my territory. I think I will meet a few of them again in the near future!”

Li Si said pointedly, his meaning almost made it clear.

"this"

Duke Baird and Duke Ram immediately realized what Li Si was referring to and felt helpless.

Delro Port is the most prosperous and important port in the Berdych Kingdom in terms of size, location, and prosperity.

 One port accounts for almost half of the seaborne trade of the Berdych Kingdom, and is the only important place with ocean-going trade to other continents.

 So this is naturally the new territory that Duke Ram and Duke Baird want to fight for.

Under the control of the wise king of the Kingdom of Fes, all the occupied territories did not directly belong to the nobles who went out to conquer the country, and needed to be canonized by His Majesty the King.

 This is also one of the means by which the king controls the nobility of the territory.

 This is also the reason why Duke Ram and Duke Baird almost fought for meritorious service in this war.

Delro Port is the most delicious piece of fat in the Berdych Kingdom. Originally, the two thought they only needed to compete with each other, but they did not expect that Li Si would be a stumbling block.

 The two of them came to a conclusion and found bitterly that it was almost impossible to compete with Li Si.

 Whether it is status, strength, merit, or background, neither of them can compete with Li Si.

 The Huangshi City no longer tastes good to the mouth.

“Then congratulations to Mr. Li Si.”

Duke Ram shook his head and said helplessly.

 Since there is no chance to compete with Li Si, it is better to give up directly.

Anyway, the effort this time has been recouped countless times. Although he is jealous of Dan Erluo Port, he will not become an enemy of Li Si.

“I hope to see Mr. Li Si again soon, haha!”

Duke Baird's expression remained unchanged, and he was even a little more enthusiastic.

After all, he is an old Duke who has seen a lot, and there is no regret on his face at all.

 Beavis on the side didn't care. He didn't have such thoughts. He never stayed in his own territory but always stayed in Glittering City and didn't care about these things.

 “Then thank you all!”

Li Si said with a smile, as if taking over the territory of Dan Erluo Port was a matter of course for him.
