Standing inside No. 11 Kimmel Street, Goethe frowned slightly.

It was late at night, but 11 Kimmel Street was completely dark.

His maid Maria and his butler Kai were not there.

Moreover, he could clearly hear the sounds of gunfire and explosions coming from a distance.

Not sporadic.

It is continuous.

"what happens?"

As Goethe was thinking, his face suddenly changed, and he rushed out of No. 11 Kimmel Street like an arrow.

The next moment——

call out!

With that distinctive sound of breaking through the air, a bomb fell from the sky and hit No. 11 Kimmel Street.

boom!

With flickering flames and a huge roar, No. 11 Kimmel Street flew into the sky.

In the distance, Goethe looked extremely ugly.

He looked at his 'home' which had been reduced to ruins, and his Scrooge MAX mode was instantly activated.

pain!

Heartbroken!

Whenever I breathe, I feel a heart-wrenching pain!

Goethe didn't know what happened, he only knew that his 'home' was bombed.

The people who blew up his house were still showing off their power over his head.

There is nothing much to say about this!

Goethe raised his head and looked at the three huge airships hovering over Hessetings in the night sky, with tangible anger in his eyes.

He raised his hand suddenly.

quack!

Two scarlet rays shot up into the sky!

What follows is the invisible summons!

Haha!

Black began to gather.

The unknown began to emerge.

…

Hessetings, inside the castle.

The neatly dressed little Graz was walking quickly around the office. The young man looked anxious, or even tormented.

Little Graz never thought that he would become king one day.

Just as he had never expected that on the first day he became king, the entire Ryan would be engulfed in flames. The Wolf Kingdom declared war on the Ryan Kingdom without declaration, and the Ryan Kingdom was caught off guard and was directly stunned - or to be more precise, after losing Grand Duke Gratz, the entire Ryan royal family lost its decision-maker, just like a secret machine gun that lost its switch, and could not react at all. Even if little Gratz tried hard, even if the consultant Silik tried his best, it was just a drop in the bucket.

In particular, Ryan's border general was assassinated.

On the first day, the border was lost.

Less than four weeks later, the vanguard of the Wolf Kingdom arrived in Hessetings.

Today is day 28!

No!

It’s after midnight that it’s the 28th day.

This is the end of 27 days.

But Ryan as a whole was exhausted.

The White Lions guarding Hastings were largely dispersed.

Five days ago, the reserve troops and militia had already arrived.

At this moment, the only troops that Little Gratz could mobilize were the Royal Guards of the Ryan family.

But others don’t know, how could little Gratz, who was once a member of this guard, not know the combat effectiveness of this guard?

They are all a bunch of gilded guys.

Including himself.

On the battlefield?

I'm afraid they are not even as good as the militia.

"Oh, it's over."

"I am going to become the king of a fallen country."

Little Graz suddenly stopped and sighed.

The consultant Xilik on the side remained silent.

Silik, whose injuries had not yet healed, looked even more miserable at this time, with one arm hanging in front of his chest and multiple wounds on his face - these were all left by Silik using his "secret technique" to perform a decapitation operation.

In fact, if it weren't for Silik's delay, Ryan's capital, Hessetings, would not have lasted until now.

But yesterday, Silik also reached his limit.

Not only the body, but also a 'mysterious side force' from the Wolf Kingdom arrived at the front line last night. Silik ventured forward and had his arm broken.

For this, little Graz felt both distressed and angry.

Feel sorry for your advisor.

The bastard Ryan IX was angry because he had sacrificed all the mysterious power of the Ryan royal family because of Modus's laboratory, leaving him with no one to use.

"Your Majesty, let's go."

Silik whispered.

Little Gratz shuddered all over.

The young king's eyes lit up.

But then it went out.

Although little Gratz had not received orthodox education as a royal heir, as the second son of the Grand Duke, he knew very well that anyone in the entire Hessetins could leave except him.

It’s not that I don’t want to.

Yes, I can’t leave.

He is the King of Llane.

Wolfe's mysterious troops will surely bite him like a mad dog.

Little Gratz, who had witnessed the methods used by the mysterious side, knew clearly that he could escape for a while but not for his whole life.

Rather than being caught and humiliated.

It would be better to choose a more decent ending.

Little Graz's hand reached for his breast pocket, his palm trembling.

It was the poison he had specially prepared during the siege of Hessetings.

Fast-acting and painless.

"Silik, please go."

"With your ability, they can't catch up with you."

"Thank you for your ten years of service to me - thank you."

Little Gratz said tremblingly.

After taking several deep breaths, the young king finally calmed his tone.

"I hope you can promise me one last thing!"

"Please go ahead."

Silik sighed.

The consultant guessed what little Graz wanted to say.

"Please take Andinan with you. He will be the last bloodline of the Royal Family of Ryan. No matter where you take him, please let him live safely. I beg you."

Such a request did not surprise Silik.

Looking at the young man with a begging look on his face, Silik nodded.

In his current state, it is difficult for him to take someone away.

But he couldn't refuse.

Seeing that Silik agreed, little Graz breathed a sigh of relief.

"Then, I feel relieved."

Little Graz said this with tears in his voice.

He really doesn't want to die!

Who come to save him!

Who can face life and death calmly?

have no idea.

At least, not Little Graz.

He stood there in a trance, and suddenly—

boom!

The huge explosion and bright flames attracted the young king's attention. He rushed to the window and saw the airship in the sky at a glance.

"What is that?!"

"Why can you fly?"

the young king asked, trembling.

"That's the 'secret weapon' of the Wolfe Kingdom that I mentioned to you before - and it's also the source of their confidence in taking down Ryan in 28 days."

Silik answered.

And just as the advisor was about to say something, the young king exclaimed again.

"What is that?"

Silik immediately blinked and looked at it carefully.

In the consultant's eyes, two flashes of scarlet appeared under the dark night sky.

…

Hessetings, the city walls.

Lanster leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

The continuous fighting has already put the sheriff in an overloaded state.

Deputy Sheriff Ge Gen standing by was in a similar situation.

Instead, Rick's eyes became brighter - Goethe's coachman sat cross-legged with his rifle on his knees, wiping his throwing knives over and over again, his expression becoming increasingly cold.

The sudden outbreak of war disrupted his peaceful life.

Originally he hoped that he and his wife could watch their three children grow up peacefully, get married and have children, but he is afraid that this will not be possible.

The Wolf Kingdom did not give civilians a chance to retreat.

Hessetings was surrounded .

Rick knew exactly what the commander of the Wolf Kingdom was planning.

Massacre!

When Hessetins was breached, the enemy began to massacre the city.

This is in line with the Wolf Kingdom's law of the jungle.

He probably won't survive.

Because his three children and wife would not survive.

He had a 10% chance of escaping alone, but if he took his three children and wife with him, he would have no chance at all.

So, he planned to do something big.

Tap tap tap!

Rick stood up quietly and crouched down. He could already hear the sound of the Wolf Kingdom soldiers charging.

This time, he didn't plan to defend.

He chose to take the initiative.

The plan was simple: kill a soldier from the Wolf Kingdom, change into his clothes, sneak into the Wolf Kingdom's camp during the chaos, and then kill the enemy's commander.

As long as he can get within ten steps, he can do it!

Rick has absolute confidence!

It’s the same even if the other party is protected by a mysterious person!

It’s not like he hadn’t killed some so-called mysterious people when he was young!

"Count me in!"

Suddenly Lanster opened his eyes.

Rick frowned.

"You kill people, I set fire."

As the sheriff spoke, he unbuttoned his shirt, revealing neatly arranged rows of explosives wrapped around his body.

"Be smart!"

Rick said something.

Ge Gen also wanted to go, but was held back by Lanster.

The sheriff pointed at the militiamen around them - they were the people who had gathered around them in the past few days. If the three of them left, these militiamen would be defeated immediately.

The deputy looked at his partner.

Lanster patted his deputy's shoulder.

This was considered a farewell.

Discourse?

I can’t tell.

A slightly chilly night wind blew over the city walls, and another round of attacks by the Wolf Kingdom began. The regular army, reserve troops began to fight back, and at this time—

"What is that?"

Suddenly someone pointed at the night sky and shouted loudly.

Everyone looked up.

Three airships were immediately seen passing over the city wall.

Everyone was horrified.

Lanster, Gegen and Rick felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Oops!

They had already seen the panic on the soldiers' faces. In such a state, they were too confused to even think about fighting or running away.

Once they came to their senses, they would flee.

Something that can fly...

It's really scary.

Then, as the explosion occurred, everyone's heart sank to the bottom.

But then, two spots of scarlet appeared in everyone's sight.

Not just on the city walls.

And under the city wall.

In the wounded soldiers' camp, when the explosion sounded, Maria rushed out regardless of people's obstruction - because she could tell that the direction from which the explosion came was the direction of her home.

Looking at the fire in the dark shadows, Maria kept praying that her family was okay.

You know, that was entrusted to her by her master.

"It has to be alright!"

"Master, you must come back soon!"

"Maria has been waiting for you!"

"Maria is very capable. She is now a member of the medical team and has been helping everyone treat the wounded. And Kai... he is also very brave."

The maid said softly.

But as I spoke, tears began to flow uncontrollably.

The servant Kai died. After becoming a militiaman, he was hit by a stray bullet and could not be rescued.

It was Maria who covered him with a white cloth.

At that moment, Maria understood for the first time what helplessness was.

Just like now.
