Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1129: Fall

Hearing his words, Julian and the others' expressions became bitter. Tangerio waved his hand and said, "All of you, come over. Don't look so bitter. I've always been afraid of death. It's like four seasons in a year. Everything has its own life and death. Even the Ten Saints have only prolonged their lives, not survived. Death is nothing to be afraid of. It's just that it came faster than I expected, which is a little different from what I expected when I set off for Blaze Castle."

"Father, who attacked you!" Julian gritted his teeth and asked. josei

"I don't know the exact identity. I can only be sure that the other party is an outsider." Of course, Tangelio would not forget the purple blood that the man had left behind. It was not human-owned.

"Outsiders? The three superintendents?" Woodrick frowned.

"No." Tangerio shook his head. "It's not the three superintendents. That person is a bit more terrifying than the three superintendents. If you want me to fight back with all my might, I can't keep him here. It shows how powerful he is. Perhaps he's a new expert in Shadow Duchy, right? Anyway, it's bad news for us."

Tangelio smiled helplessly, "But I have even worse news for you right now. I'm dying." That man completely shattered my heart core. Although I wanted to endure until Oliska, I don't have time. So listen to me carefully. Here, Woodrick, and Earl Allen. I need you to bear witness that, after my death, I decided to let Julian succeed me to the throne. "

Julian shook his head. He had always wanted to win the crown prince's contest. But now that Tangerio had passed the throne to him, the Second Prince was not happy at all. Perhaps he had been fighting for the crown prince just to prove it to this man.

"This is the last thing I want to see. It would have been better if Julian had been polished for another ten years or eight, and some of my arrangements could have been done in a leisurely manner. What Julian will take over from me will be a prosperous and peaceful human empire, but the empire will suffer internal and external troubles. There are a few things you need to do when you get back to Oliska. One is to banish Hawson. You must not be soft-hearted on that, Julian. Hawson is ambitious and Roderick is plotting behind his back. If he is the king, Bailey Gorge will be in flames of war. This is what I don't want to see. And now that I'm going to sleep, Hawson will definitely not let you off. "

"And one, tell Ned to suspend the cutting order. If I'm not here, you won't be able to suppress the situation. If you forcefully push for the reduction of the army, the country will only be torn apart. And finally Roderick, our Marshal must be eliminated, but not now. You still need him to deal with outsiders. As for when and how, I am sure that with Naboth's help, nothing will go wrong. "

Tangerio looked at Woodrick and Alan again. He shook the general's hand and said, "My friend Woodrick, I want to hear you swear an oath to Julian. Although he is still young, I believe he will become a good king in the future. My friend, but he needs help now. Can you help him?"

Woodrick's shoulders trembled as he turned around and half-knelt down to Julian. "By my sword, I swear my allegiance to His Majesty the future King Julian until the end of my life," Woodrick said.

Julian's body trembled and he hurriedly helped Woodrick up.

Alan sighed. Tangerio was doing his best to pave the way for Julian. If it weren't for the Emperor's words, it was unknown whether Woodrow would be loyal to Julian. At this moment, his hand was held by Tangerio. Alan was shocked to see how cold and powerless this broad palm was at this moment. Then, he saw Tangerio's blazing eyes. The Emperor whispered, "Earl Allen, you have great talent and potential." I knew it the first time I saw you. As long as I give you time, the Ten Saints are like items in your bag. I'm glad you're on Julian's side, and I hope you'll stay there as long as you can. I assure you that Julian will live up to your commitment and that you will be rewarded for what you have done. "

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will watch His Highness Julian take the throne." Alan patted the back of his hand.

Tangelio laughed, "The gods have been very kind to me in the last moments of my life to be with you. The only regret is that I should have had a drink with that old fellow Nabott."

The emperor said and waved his hand. "Can you leave first? I have something to say to Julian alone."

Woodrick and Allen hurriedly left. After they left the tent, Tangerio looked at Julian, and his eyes became gentle. "Child, you must hate me in your heart because I've left you and your son alone all these years, right?"

Julian couldn't help but hug Tangelio and say, "No, Father. I don't hate you, and neither does Mother. When I was young, every time I asked her why her father didn't come to see us, Mother always said that you had your reasons for doing so. She trusted you, so I trusted you."

"It's good to hear that, son." Tangerio's big hand landed on Julian's head and gently rubbed his hair. "I remember the day you were born. It was early in the morning, and the sun was shining. You smiled at me in the sun when you were born. Julian, you know, I cried. It was not easy for you to arrive. Your mother's body had always been weak. When you were in her stomach, I almost lost you a few times. Fortunately, the gods weren't so cruel. They finally let me wait for your arrival. I believe that it was the best gift that the heavens gave me. Believe me, I wish I could put all my love on you, but I can't, even if I love you more than Hawson and the others. "

'"But I'm not only a king, I'm also the father of a few children. I have to be a little fairer. And there's a more important problem. Your mother came from an ordinary background, and there's no family behind her. If I pay too much attention to you two, it will bring disaster to you."

Tangerio patted Julian on the shoulder. "Besides, my Julian is a man who will carry the empire on his shoulders in the future. I'm afraid that my doting will cause a wise king to die because of it. You can see it by looking at Hawson." I also love him, and because of his mother, I love him the most among you brothers and sisters. But now, sometimes I feel strange looking at him. The boy who shouted that he wanted to be a knight back then is now only focused on his position of power. How sad. He has already lost his original heart. "

"So, Julian, you must remember that as king, you must put your people first. This is the foundation of the country's prosperity." Tangelio sighed, his face full of exhaustion: "Child, you don't know how much I want to say to you." But now it's too late. I'm sleepy, and I can't even open my eyes, so I can only accompany you to this point. When you get back, please tell your mother that I love her forever. In my heart, she will always be the beautiful woman who picked a bunch of grapes for me in the sunny afternoon. After so many years, this will not change. "

"I'm sleepy … I'll go to sleep first …" Tangelio closed his eyes gently, a faint smile still hanging at the corner of his mouth, as if he was a person who had fallen asleep. But Julian knew that he would never wake up from his sleep. Thinking of this, he burst into tears.

He lost his father forever.

The emperor died.

As Tangelio closed his eyes, Nabott, who was reading in his study far away in Oliska, suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart. As if looking at the reluctance and sorrow of a friend who was about to travel far away, the Prime Minister came back to his senses and found his hands trembling. He hurriedly poured himself a glass of wine to drink before calming himself down. In the Imperial Palace of Daybreak Castle, a woman who had already fallen asleep suddenly woke up from her dream. In the darkness, she discovered that her face was boiling hot, but at some unknown time, tears were left behind, and then her heart was drowned in indescribable sorrow.

But even more people did not notice that music and cheers could still be heard in Olsga's bar. They were celebrating the fall of Blazing Fort. The pedestrians on the streets came and went, still rushing about for their own lives. Even Tangelio's eldest son, Hawson, was unaware of it. He only knew that Stark's group had returned, so now he rushed to his private manor and saw Stark in the study.

"Where the hell have you been?" Hawson asked angrily.

Stark looked at him indifferently. The Eldest Prince trembled. He suddenly remembered that this man was not someone he could control. He quickly lowered his stance and said, "Mr. Stark hasn't heard from me these past few days. I'm very worried."

"Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. Here, I would like to congratulate Your Highness."

"Congratulations on what?" Hawson was stunned.

"Congratulations on becoming the king of this human kingdom. Yes, the crown is already in your possession." Stark smiled and said, "Because your father, former King Tanglio, has passed away."

"What are you talking about!" Hawson was shocked and looked at Stark in disbelief, "How could that be? I didn't receive any news at all."

"Of course you don't know, because Tangerio was personally killed by me, and now, the news is probably still locked down."

"You … you killed him?" Hawson opened his mouth wide. When he reacted, he impulsively threw himself at Stark. "How could you do this!"

Stark waved his hand as if he had swatted off a fly, and a force field descended, firmly pressing Hawson to the ground. Stark's expression turned cold, "Why can't I do this?" Killing Tangerio was the fastest way to fulfill his promise. You are his eldest son. According to your laws, you will automatically continue to be king, right? Could it be that you want me to play with you in the Crown Prince's Battle and then play for a few years to slowly seize the throne? I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry, so it's as simple as taking care of everything. "

"But he is my father!" Hawson roared, "No matter how much I want to get the throne, how can you kill him!"

Stark sneered, "What does that have to do with me? Tangelio is dead now." Either you listen to me and inherit the throne. Either I kill you and let any prince inherit it. You're not the only son of Tangelio. Oh, Diego also said that he happened to have one of your brothers with him this time. "I'm not sure Tangerio has passed the throne to him. How about it? Do you want to continue playing the King's game?"
