Chapter 60: Persuading You to Resign
Singalore Palace, study.
Strach's eyes were filled with unconcealed joy when he saw Arthur again. The 200,000 orc warriors under Arthur would be his greatest reliance on the road to the Emperor.
"I have heard of the battle record of your spiritual feather regiment in the Orc Wasteland. Since it can crush the blood-flame Canglang's army all the way, it must be good for the Shanghai army."
"I'm definitely not as good as the demonized sea warriors, but I have an 80% chance of winning against the conventional sea army with the same force." Arthur answered truthfully without hesitation.
Strach nodded with satisfaction, "I have been optimistic about you over the years, and you have never disappointed me. The sea tribe and the empire's army will soon decide the outcome. This is the best opportunity for me to unify all the human countries. As long as you try your best to help me, you will be King Jiayong of my Isaac Empire."
At this time, Strach no longer had to hide his desires and ambitions, and Arthur was the power he had to firmly win over.
Arthur immediately stood up and saluted, "I am willing to go through fire and water for Isaac, but I don't want the throne, I just want to ask His Majesty to give me something."
"You can speak up what you want within the Kingdom."
"I want the remnant blade of light in His Majesty's hand."
Strach was stunned. He didn't expect Arthur to suddenly make this request. Although the residual blade of light could not be used in his hands, it was a symbol of the luck of the kingdom, and hesitated for a moment.
Arthur further said, "If Your Majesty is reluctant, I will borrow it temporarily. I would like to use the five thousand dragon lizard cavalry as the vanguard of the kingdom. If this artifact is in hand, even the Holy Demons will have the confidence to kill it. And I heard that the residual blade in Prince Galah's hand was unknown after the fall of Alantis. The artifacts are connected to each other. Maybe I can help Your Majesty get a complete artifact?"
Strach was finally moved. The artifact was finally a dead object in his hand. The Blue Evil's Dragon Lizard Cavalry has long been rumored to be the most powerful army in the mainland. If Arthur really uses this army as the vanguard to fight for him, it is more valuable to use half of the artifact to exchange Arthur for his sincere efforts, not to mention that Arthur also threw out the bait for the return of the complete artifact.
Strach laughed and said, "The so-called sword is given to heroes, such a magic weapon as the Blade of Light, can only shine with true brilliance in the hands of heroes like Duke Jiayong!"
After saying that, Strach pressed on the heavy table, and a secret lattice on the bookshelf behind him raised, and a rainbow light rippled out.
Arthur did not expect Strach to hide the inheritance artifact at hand, and the design of this dark grid was very exquisite, and there was no breath leaking from it before it was opened.
Arthur held one end of the Blade of Light in his hand, and a ray of pure light element was input, and a few feet long of dazzling rainbow light overflowed from the artifact, illuminating the entire study room.
Strach couldn't help but sigh in secret that there was a hint of jealousy mixed in his hand. It was just a magical artifact of exquisite utensils. It was true that it could only be shining with Arthur's hands.
Arthur suddenly spoke at this moment: "I have always had a question in my heart to ask Your Majesty to answer the doubts. Our human race has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, and the Empire of Light has a history of more than 800 years. Which one is more important, the people or the emperor?"
"All living beings are like ants, and they can only fill their stomachs all day long. Only the king of the human race and heroes can determine the fate and history of the human race. If it weren't for the Emperor of Light, our human race would still struggle to survive in the cracks between elves and orcs."
"Our human race now enjoys the richest land on the mainland. If Your Majesty ascends the throne to the throne in the future, how should he govern the world?"
Arthur's question surprised Strach. Before this, he was only pursuing unification of the human nations, repeating the great achievements of Garlanlott back then, and not carefully considering how to govern the country after the rebuilding of the empire. To put it bluntly, Strach was simply immersed in the pursuit of power.
Strach pondered for a while before speaking slowly, "My Isaac Empire not only wants to recreate the glory of the Light Empire, but also completely conquer the orc wasteland and the elves kingdom, so that our human race can live on the entire continent without any external troubles!"
When Strach was still intoxicated by his own talent, Arthur suddenly sighed, "What will His Majesty do to deal with the demons riding on our human race?"
Like a basin of cold water poured on his head, Strech, who was shaking and shivering, blurted out, "How do you know?"
Arthur saw the transaction between Strach and Yunxiao Trading Company from the memory of Qingluan's remnant soul. Now Isaac suddenly withdrew his troops and pushed the Imperial Army and the Holy See into a dead end. With his eyes closed, he guessed that Strach had turned to the demons or had reached a deal.
Arthur continued: "The demons have always regarded all tribes as slaves on the mainland. How could they tolerate His Majesty, a wise monarch who unified the continent? Poor His Majesty claims to be a talent, but was deceived by the demons' clumsy strategy. The Emperor of Light back then saved billions of humans and foreign peoples from oppression. His Majesty is now doing it to voluntarily send hundreds of thousands of warriors and millions of humans into the mouths of the demons. He regards millions of lives as ants. What is the difference between what His Majesty does and what He is doing? "
Arthur's stern remarks completely angered Strezzi. He slapped the book case heavily, "Stop it! I don't need you to teach me what I do!"
"I'm not here to teach Your Majesty how to do it today, but I'm just here to inform Your Majesty that your actions are no longer suitable for being the Isaac king!" Arthur suddenly grinned, and the rainbow light of the blade of light flashed with it, and the desk in front of Strech was neatly broken into two pieces.
Strach was so scared that he took two steps back and almost fell down, "What do you want to do? Jace!"
"I want to tell Your Majesty that Jace, who was waiting outside the study, had been frozen to death, and was thirty steps away from the nearest guard. As long as I need to move my fingers, His Majesty will end up like the case of this book."
Stratzi had gradually calmed down in the initial panic, "If you kill me, you and everyone who has something to do with you will not be able to escape."
"Your Majesty is wrong again. I am now on the holy rank. The world in this study is under my control, so there is no guard to check it out after such a big thing. And after killing you, I have no intention of escaping. My orc legions, Fengxue and Frost Lei, will arrive at the royal city within a few days, and no royal member can escape."
Strach's body trembled slightly, and at this moment he was truly scared. Arthur was famous for not following the rules. "I have no choice but to cultivate my trust in you over the years. You are actually a traitorous villain!"
Arthur sighed softly, "Although I killed you for the sake of human justice, I have indeed lost my personal trust from the protection and rewards of the kingdom over the years, so I am willing to compensate you for a chance to survive and choose a successor from the royal family."
It is not easy to give up the position of king. Even Arthur chose Strach, hesitating and anxious.
An extremely old voice suddenly rang outside the study door, "Let go, let go now is the best choice for you, Isaac and the entire human race."
