Chapter 188 - Defection at the Last Minute
Chapter 188: Defection at the Last Minute
After hearing the conversation between Vincent and the others, the Dragon King who was tied to Chris’s back suddenly said, “Do you really think that Skyfrost city is made of iron? I don’t think you need to worry. When the little prince who leads the army arrives, Skyfrost City will be conquered!”
After hearing that, everyone turned to look at the Dragon King with a confused expression.
“Senior, please enlighten me!” said Vincent.
The Dragon King poked Chris on the back of his head and said, “Junior, tell me!”
Chris did not expect the Dragon King to suddenly ask him to speak. His face was red, and he held it in for a long time before he said helplessly, “I don’t know!”
“Hmph! You are so stupid, but you are honest!”
The Dragon King reprimanded Chris harshly, but there was a trace of a smile at the corner of his mouth.
Vincent watched from the side. He smiled but did not say anything.
The Dragon King turned his head. Although he had lost his eyes, he still acted as if he was looking at Skyfrost City. He said confidently, “Skyfrost City is the number one pass in the north! It has millions of people and hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Naturally, it is filled with talented people and brave warriors. However, it is this kind of city that has endless combat power. Yet, for three consecutive days, no one has come out of the city to attack you. What does this mean?”
Vincent immediately understood the meaning behind the Dragon King’s words and said, “This means that the people in Skyfrost City are already in a state of panic. No one is loyal to the Arctic Country’s emperor, or the emperor himself is in a panic and has frightened the hearts of others!”
The Dragon King nodded and praised, “Not bad! You are very smart. Unfortunately, I have nothing to teach you!”
Vincent quickly smiled and said, “Senior, you are too modest. Just now, you have already taught me a lot!”
The Dragon King nodded in satisfaction. Then, for some reason, he suddenly looked very angry and hit Chris’s head using his head.
Chris held his head with a blank look and felt extremely wronged. He had carried the Dragon King on his back all the way there. Even if he had not contributed much, he had worked hard. Why was his attitude towards him getting worse and worse?
The Dragon King seemed to be able to hear Chris’s thoughts and questioned him with an evil attitude.
“What? You don’t want to carry me anymore? If you don’t want to carry me, just say it. Just leave me behind!”
Chris hurriedly smiled. He shook his head and said, “Senior, what are you saying? My skin is rough, and my flesh is thick. You can just randomly bump into me any time!”
When the Dragon King heard Chris’s words, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. In the end, he could only let out a long sigh.
“Everyone, sorry to have kept you waiting!”
At that moment, Enoch walked over from the hill behind them and greeted them with a smile.
“You’re finally here. Why are you so late?”
Chris finally found a way to vent his grievance and quickly asked Enoch.
Enoch smiled. He pointed behind him and said, “I’m sorry. After the commoners learned of the Dragon King’s experience, the resentment in their hearts increased. Everywhere I passed, there were people who came to join the army. I was expanding my army while hurrying on my way, so I arrived late!”
As soon as he finished speaking, countless warriors appeared on the horizon behind Enoch like dark clouds pressing down on the city. They walked toward the crowd in high spirits.
“Oh my God! You actually gathered such a huge army along the way. That’s amazing!”
Everyone exclaimed.
Enoch looked at the people of the God-Slaying squad. He said gratefully, “It’s all thanks to everyone. Along the way, you didn’t just help me clear the obstacles but you even spread praise for me everywhere. That’s how I gathered the hearts of the people in this country. Now, as we have the hearts of the people, we will always be successful!”
Vincent and the others also nodded in gratification. Enoch’s performance so far, whether it was his ability or character, had satisfied their expectations of a human emperor!
Just as they were chatting, the gate of Skyfrost City suddenly opened. A white-haired old man, leaning on a walking stick, slowly walked toward them.
Chris, who was unable to vent his anger on Enoch, said excitedly, “Great, someone has finally come out to fight. Let me go up first. I promise to crush him on the spot!”
“Hey, wait!”
Enoch quickly pulled Chris back. He looked at the old man walking over and said seriously, “This is a wise minister of our Arctic Country, Mr. Andrew, you must not attack him!”
“What kind of wise minister is that? He is also one of Frank’s wise ministers, so he is your enemy. You can’t treat your enemy like a woman! Ouch!” Chris wanted to defend himself a little more, but before he could finish speaking, he was hit on the back of his head by the Dragon King. He had almost bit off his own tongue!
“Andrew is indeed a virtuous minister of the generation. I have also heard about it in the past. This person cannot be killed!” said the Dragon King firmly.
Chris covered his mouth and nodded repeatedly. His anger was extinguished in his stomach just like that.
“Leave it to me!” said Enoch to the crowd. He then walked forward alone and stood face to face with Andrew.
During this time, countless pairs of eyes were watching the two people in the middle of the battlefield. The conversation between them might affect the direction of the upcoming battle!
Enoch bowed respectfully to Andrew and said, “Sir Andrew, the battle between the two armies is about to begin. Why did a civil official like you come to the battlefield?”
Andrew also bowed respectfully to Enoch and said, “I’m here as a lobbyist for his majesty, Frank. He hopes that the prince can disband the army. He also hopes that the God-Slaying squad will withdraw from the Arctic Country immediately!”
After hearing this, Enoch could not help but raise his head and stare angrily at Skyfrost City. This was a place where he had grown up and had fled in a sorry state when he became an adult!
“Sir Andrew, back then, my father was seriously ill. It was Frank who took the opportunity to seize the throne without caring about brotherhood and even killed my father. Later on, he repeatedly persecuted me. Now, his evil deeds in the past have been exposed to the world, and the miserable state of the Dragon King is known to all. Such an emperor is not justified and does not have the slightest bit of support from the people. Do you still want to speak up for him?”
Enoch’s eyes were filled with tears as he questioned Andrew righteously.
Andrew was also in tears. He bowed deeply to Enoch and said, “What the Prince said is right, but I still want to say it today!”
Enoch turned his head to wipe away the tears on his face and sighed, “Then you can say it!”
Andrew stood up, puffed out his chest, and used all his strength to shout, “For the sake of the hundreds of millions of people of the Arctic Country, I once again implore Prince Enoch to raise his army to attack the Skyfrost City and ascend the throne. The Heavenly Dao will be righteous, and we will eliminate the foolish emperor of Arctic Country!”
Enoch was stunned when he heard what Andrew had said. He was so moved that he was in tears. He stepped forward and hugged Andrew, whose body was shaking because he had used too much strength.
At the same time, the soldiers in front of the two armies also heard Andrew’s voice. For a moment, the battle intent outside the city was high, and the atmosphere inside the city was gloomy.
Enoch let go of Andrew and nodded solemnly. He turned around and shouted to the army, “Soldiers!”
“Here!”
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers answered in unison, and their shouts resounded through the sky.
“Follow me to attack Skyfrost City!”
After Enoch shouted, he turned around and took the lead to attack Skyfrost City.
The army immediately charged toward Skyfrost City like a sharp sword. Nothing could stop the sharp edge of the sword!
On the city wall, after Frank heard Andrew’s words, he was so angry that smoke was coming out of his seven orifices. He roared angrily, “They’re rebelling! All of them are rebelling! Bring the latest psionic weapons up here. Shoot Andrew first!”
However, no one answered Frank.
Frank turned to look at the generals behind him and shouted sternly, “What? Do you all want to rebel?”
The few generals looked at each other and immediately burst out with the aura of overlords. They quickly adjusted their positions and formed horns with each other, surrounding Frank.
“Stupid emperor! You still don’t want to repent! Do you want to kill your loyal subjects? You’re not fit to be the emperor of the Arctic Country! Surrender now! Open the city gates with us and let us welcome Prince Enoch into the city!” said the generals aggressively.
Frank was so angry that he laughed. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Do you think you can force me to surrender? Don’t forget that you, overlords are no match for me!”
In the next moment, the terrifying aura of a king-class superpowered man burst out from the top of the city wall. Then, an extremely cold chill spread over the entire city. Skyfrost City was covered in ice in an instant!
Although the killing intent was present on the city wall, the scene below the city wall was different. The troops guarding the city had no intention to fight with Enoch. Instead, they jumped ships at the last minute and joined the attacking side.
The remaining troops in the city even took the initiative to open the city gates. They allowed Enoch to enter the imperial city without wasting a single soldier.
On the distant hillside, the God-Slaying squad, who did not participate in the attack, smiled when they saw the city gates collapsing without being attacked.
Chris was even more excited as he said to the Dragon King, “Senior, the city gates are open! I’ll bring you to see what happened to Frank!”
“Alright!” muttered the Dragon King. He felt fatigued as he spoke.
Chris used all his strength and charged towards Skyfrost City.
“Let’s follow them!” said Teacher Chris to everyone.
“Okay!”
Everyone nodded and walked over together.
Only Vincent stood silently on the spot and looked at the frost on the city walls. He raised his Flaming Wings and flew towards the other city gates.
When everyone arrived at the city, the first thing they saw was the depressed Enoch.
“What’s wrong?”
Everyone went forward to ask.
Enoch sighed helplessly, “Before we entered the city, there was a military remonstrance on the city wall. Frank fought with a group of generals, and in the end, all the generals died tragically. Frank’s whereabouts are unknown!”
When Chris heard that, he immediately said, “Vincent, let’s go after him! Eh? Where’s Vincent?”
Only then did everyone realize that Vincent had not entered the city. Nevertheless, everyone had long gotten used to Vincent acting alone. At the same time, they could guess what he had done!
Right at that moment, the Dragon King lightly knocked the back of Chris’s head. As if he was on his deathbed, he said softly, “With that kid around, Frank can’t run! I’m tired. Bring me to the city tower to have a seat!”
“Eh!”
Chris replied in a panic. He then left everyone behind and quickly ran up the city tower.
