BXBX NOVEL Chapter 355 My Throne
"AAAAHHHHHHH!! Do not you DARE throw their weapons! This is your homeland, and your families are behind you depending on every one of you for survival, Fight to the death, and Don\'t listen to these traitors!!!" The Emperor cried aloud when he heard the counselor\'s words, he was still trying to reach the throne hall again, but the road was simply cut off in front of him.
"You traitorous old man!! I knew a long time ago that he would come today and betray the Great Flame Empire, YOU ARE WEAK! Everyone, Don\'t listen to this old bastard, fight for the empire!" Old woman Ji also shouted
The declaration of the old counselor was heard all over the capital, causing an earthquake in all hearts and minds, and so was the roar of the emperor...
On the one hand, their emperor advanced the scene and called to fight to the death, and now his counselor, one of the most respected and revered men in the empire, calls for complete surrender!
Undoubtedly, most of the soldiers wanted to lay down their weapons because they knew for sure that it was a losing war and that their death was certain, but with one look at those who were fighting them, at the Demons... it made them cling to their weapons more.
Who would leave his and his family\'s safety in the hands of these man-seating beasts? Is the option to surrender even available? 8 feet tall Crimson creatures with spiral horns, without eyes, with thick and long white hair... If someone had described this image to them before, they would have said that they describe the demons that will destroy the world!
And here they are, destroying the world.
What guarantees that these things will stop killing once they lay down their weapons? Who can guarantee that what the human general of the enemies says is true? how would they know that all other cities are run normally and that their inhabitants are not dead, or worse, eaten? Maybe it\'s just empty talk to end the war quickly!
A storm swept the minds of all the Empire\'s soldiers, they didn\'t lay down their weapons but started to retreat little by little, the land they gained while rushing after the Emperor was lost in moments!
"Listen to my words and lay down the weapons. A little hope is better than complete despair. Killing a Demon or two before you die won\'t change the fact that you are dead!" the old man shouted again
"Sixth Battalion, listen to the orders, throw your weapons, and retreat into any nearby houses!"
"Thirteenth Battalion, listen to the orders, throw the weapons, and retreat into any nearby houses!!"
"Ninth Battalion, listen..."
The voices of the rest of the elders and generals in the throne hall began to rise one after the other, their voices were not half as strong as the old man\'s voice, and they did not speak to the whole nation as he did, each of them only addressed a part of the army with orders, the part that they usually command.
That was the straw that broke the camel\'s back ~ Good soldiers follow orders ~ and the orders from their direct superiors have arrived, they no longer have to worry about listening to this or that, it became easy for them.
Battalion after battalion, wall guards behind wall guards, thousands of knights, saints, and sages lay down their weapons and quickly retreated to hide inside the homes of the citizens.
"DAMMIT!!" Losing more than half of the army at once, there was no longer any battle. If the other half of the Flame Empire Army kept fighting alone, the Demons would rally around them from the gaps left by those who retreated and kill them off with ease.
It didn\'t take more than a minute for the other half of the empire\'s army to start to retreat.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" The cries of the humiliated emperor shook the entire imperial capital, "YOU ALL DESERVE TO DIE!!"
He used all his strength to gather an energy field around him and push everyone around him dozens of meters back, then raised his hands up and started making a flame ball.
it quickly reached a diameter of 5 meters and didn\'t show any signs of stopping.
20 meters.
70 meters.
150 meters..!!
The intense heat and the massive amount of energy gathered in the flame ball forced the Demons, Caesar, and even the Sages who were still following the Emperor to retreat quickly so as not to be dragged into that hell.
"HEYAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" Then, without warning, the emperor threw the giant flame ball toward the area with the most full of mortals and soldiers deserters, an area with hundreds of thousands if not over a million Flame Empire Citizens!
"WOAH!"
"The emperor has gone crazy!"
"Help!"
"Booo… Hooo…"
"ELIAS!!!" When he saw this scene, the old Counselor creased his eyebrows and shouted, "YOU DARE DO SUCH A DESPICABLE ACT IN MY PRESENCE?"
Suddenly the old Counselor disappeared from the throne hall and appeared right between the flame ball and the capital and then raised his hands up, a phoenix shadow that was more visible and bigger than that of the emperor started to form behind him and with a "HEYAAAAAA" he formed a huge energy barrier and slammed into the Fallen huge flame ball!
"ARGHHHH…" The counselor agonized for a moment but eventually managed to slow the huge flame ball\'s descent to a halt, then slowly began to lift it up, until he finally managed to throw it away with a shout, "HAAAAAA---"
"AAAAHHHHHH!! You old bastard, even at a time like this going against my will? Damn you! Damn you!!" Flame Emperor Elias cried out with all his might as he saw the flame ball going towards the sea, he put all his strength into it and used up more than half of his energy forming it!
"Haa... Haa... Haa..." The old man gasped for a few seconds and then looked up, "I stepped down and gave you the throne during my lifetime to train you in action, I wanted to see you as a good ruler and pass on my long experiences to you before I die...
I didn\'t give you my thrown to watch you from the side as your ego destroy the empire I lived my long life to protect, The empire that our ancestors paid with blood and sweat to make what it is, I did not give you these powers to use it to kill our own people!"
