Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1133: Wait for Me to Come Back

Woodrick left alone. He left all the knights behind and chose to travel alone. The journey wasn't long, but it wasn't short either. If Hawson had that much brains, he would have sent an envoy to recruit the crusaders near Blaze Fort. So Woodrick had to race against time. He needed to control the army before the new king's messenger arrived.

Alan believed he could do it.

Speaking of which, apart from trusting him, what else could he do now?

Things were not uncommon, such as finding a temporary place to stay.

In the end, Allen and the others arrived at a village near the new Great Wall. Before that, according to Allen's suggestion, everyone changed into their original attire. For example, Julian's Star Winged Armor was too eye-catching in a village. In the end, including the knights, they all changed into adventurers. So when they entered the village, Alan handed the village chief a money bag filled with silver coins. The village chief believed that this was a brigade passing by the village and heading elsewhere.

That bag of silver coins was exchanged for three wooden houses for the team. The house was clean and ventilated. Of course, it was not as comfortable as the imperial palace, but Julian did not care about this. The prince was confused about his future. He did not know how he would defeat Hawson in the future.

When the knight delivered dinner, the prince was still dripping. He was not in the mood to eat until Alan arrived.

Ellen's face was pale. Stark's fist power was mostly absorbed by the Flame Shadow Tyrant, while the rest shook his entire body, causing hidden injuries everywhere. Fortunately, he was able to move freely. Alan sat across from Julian. The prince sighed and said, "You should go and lie down. This is the right of the wounded."

"Just like you can't eat, I can't sleep either." Alan looked at the fire in the stove and said, "Your Highness, the situation is terrible. But believe me, I have encountered something worse, and along the way, life has taught me a lesson."

"What logic?" Julian raised his head.

"It's not too bad if you're not dead yet." Alan smiled and said, "As long as you're alive, anything is possible."

Julian nodded thoughtfully, "That sounds reasonable. Tell me, my dear count, what can I do now?"

'"Ruth walked step by step, taking a mouthful of food. There are many things His Highness can do. For example, now, you can eat first. If you don't have the strength, what are you going to take down Hawson?" Alan sighed softly, "Moreover, His Majesty's body hasn't been buried yet, but it looks like we won't be able to enter the imperial capital in the near future. We can't let His Majesty's body run around with us, so I suggest that His Majesty's body be cremated and buried tomorrow. When you return to the imperial capital in the future, you can move Great Emperor's ashes back."

There was another imperial cemetery on Mount Dawn, which was the final destination of the emperors of past dynasties. Tangerio would eventually enter the cemetery. As for the time, it depended on when Julian would be able to return.

Julian nodded in agreement to Alan's suggestion.

The next day, they left the village with their coffins and passed through a forest. Finally, Julian chose a scenic hillside as Tangerio's temporary burial ground. The knights chopped down trees and put up a wooden shelf. Then, they placed Tangerio's body on top of it, and the two golden banners of the lions covered the Great Emperor's chest. Allen ignited the wooden shelf with his Heavenly Flame and cremated it along with Tangerio.

It was a simple funeral. josei

There were no prayers, no farewells. For a king, such a funeral was simply too shabby. Julian shook his head and said, "He shouldn't be like this …"

Yes. Originally, he deserved a grand funeral in his capacity as Tangelio. Ollis will mourn for him. Tangerio was supposed to be seen off for a long time, and his people would miss him, and their noses would get sour when they talked about the king. Instead, he quietly returned to nothingness in the flames, and the vast majority of people did not know what had happened.

At the end of the funeral, Julian stroked his chest with his hand and said solemnly, "It's a long cold night …"

The knights on both sides sang at the same time, "Xin Huo is eternal!"

This was a famous saying of the founding emperor. It was on the eve of the Battle of Dawn Mountain, and the future of mankind was still unclear. In order to inspire the warriors and himself, the king left behind this famous saying that had been circulating for hundreds of years in an agitated tone: "The cold night is long, and we do not know where the dawn is." Tomorrow, perhaps we will die in battle, but our courage and sacrifice will inspire our children to move forward, and the flames will last forever! "

At this moment, Julian said those words in order to inspire himself.

In the end, Tangerio's ashes were buried on this beautiful grassy slope. After a generation of monarchs died, there was only a small tomb that didn't even have a name. As Julian left, he clenched his palm tightly, his fingernails sunk into his palm, and a few bright drops of blood dripped down from the grass in front of the grave.

"Wait for me to come back." He said softly.

By the time they returned to the village, it was already evening. Night quickly fell, and when Alan and Julian were discussing how to sneak into Olliska to get information, the sound of horse hooves suddenly came from outside the low wall of the courtyard. Alan immediately rushed out with Red King in his hand. At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open and someone walked in. The man wore a cloak and only took off his hood when he saw Alan, revealing an ice-colored and arrogant face.

Elizabeth!

Alan was stunned to a halt, and then a few people entered. Apart from the two top ten Saint experts who were protecting Archduke Niao Hua, there was another surprising person, the former Prime Minister Nabott, and a middle-aged lady who looked very similar to Julian.

Seeing this woman, Julian rushed out and shouted, "Mother?"

"Julian, are you alright?"

Alan looked at Elizabeth, who smiled. "So you're hiding in a place like this. No wonder I took so long to find some clues."

"How is Oliska?" Alan asked.

Nabott said in place of the great justice, "It's terrible, Earl Allen. Do you want to stand in this place and discuss the affairs of state?"

Alan shrugged.

Julian held his mother's hand and led everyone to the hall. The hall was actually very narrow, and it was crowded when the few of them stood inside, so the two top ten saints simply went outside to take a look. Nabott sat down next to a chair and smiled bitterly. "This is a disaster. The two old men, Roger and Gendry, took something wrong and recognized Hawson's eligibility to continue the throne."

"Now that Hawson has taken control of the imperial capital, although I have raised my doubts, I don't know where he found an expert, but he can't even defeat Uncle Stam. If it weren't for the arrival of the two commanders of the Silver Frost Iron Guards and the King's Sword, I wouldn't be able to stand here tonight." Elizabeth took over the conversation and turned to Julian. "Your Highness, Olsga can't stay any longer, not even the entire Northern Territory. I've discussed with Lord Nabott that you can only go south now. Our Boleyn family has some foundations in the South, and the South is not under the control of the empire. It won't be easy for Hausen to deal with you."

"Looks like you all know quite a bit." Alan said.

Elizabeth raised her eyebrows, "When Hawson suddenly announced his succession, I knew that something must have happened, and immediately spread the word to gather information." It's not a secret that you fought in the grasslands outside the city. Hawson's private military drinks and women went together and said everything. Otherwise, how do you think I can find you so quickly? Let alone bring Lord Nabott and the Princess out first. "

"Not only can Julian Palace go down south, but my family and some other nobles who oppose Hawson will be transferred as capital to fight against Hawson. The Boleyn Family has been loyal to the royal family for generations. Since His Highness Julian was appointed to inherit the throne in the Great Emperor's will, I will never let this position fall into Hawson's hands!" Elizabeth turned to Julian and half-knelt down, "Don't worry, Your Highness, Hawson's chair won't last long!"

Alan looked at Julian and whispered, "Look, I told you, we still have hope."

Julian nodded forcefully, and his mother said, "Where … is he?"

With a faint look of sorrow in his eyes, Julian looked gently at his mother, "He's in a very beautiful place, and he told me to tell you that he never forgot that beautiful afternoon."

Hearing that, the princess burst into tears, but did not cry.

The next day, Julian took his mother to Great Emperor's grave to take a look. After returning, he packed his things and left the village with Ellen and the others. They had left the new Great Wall, and Elizabeth had prepared the clearance papers for them, and the team had not been obstructed. They were heading south, and Elizabeth had already informed several nobles in the south, including the Marquis of the Iron Spear, through the Raven of Letters. There was no problem with the loyalty of these families, especially Huo Yi. This Marquis of strength would be Julian's strongest barrier in the South.

Just as Allen had said, hope was still shattered, but when Julian went south, the internal strife in the empire was already foreseeable. And this mess was impossible to recover in a short period of time. Fortunately, they still had the Boleyn Clan's solid backing. As Elizabeth arranged for Julian to head south, she moved her family's inheritance and other nobles who were opposed to Hawson. She also contacted Woodrow, who was on his way to Blaze Fort, so that he could bring the army and Allen's men along to meet up with Allen and the others.

Among the allies they could win were the two commanders of the imperial palace. However, their subordinates still needed to arrange an escape route and were unable to leave Oliska immediately. But both Sara and Lyn promised Julian, through Elizabeth's mouth, that they would be loyal to him as emperors.

On this evening, Julian could already see the ruins of the old Great Wall. Leaving the old Great Wall meant leaving the imperial capital. The Second Prince jumped off his horse and knelt in the direction of the imperial capital. He kissed the earth lightly and felt bitter. When he stood up again, someone held his arm. Julian looked over and saw that Alan's eyes were flushed red from the night sun, and there seemed to be flames flying in them.

"We will come back, I promise!"

Julian laughed, "Of course."
