The capture of the imperial capital made Prince Leonard very decadent. After some painful consideration, he had to admit that he was indeed not as good as Douglas in some aspects.
It was precisely because of his own incompetence that the imperial capital fell.
It is a very serious crime that the Rein clan has failed to defend the imperial capital that it has been running for decades. The elders of the clan will definitely doubt his ability, and may even choose to support other princes. The most serious thing is,
The fall of the Imperial Capital directly destroyed the war pattern of the entire Orc Empire.
Because the Imperial Capital was easily breached, the war on the frontline was reversed again: the Rein army and their allies, who had taken the initiative, had to urgently mobilize troops to return to defense. This hasty military deployment directly led to large-scale erosion of the situation.
Let a great war situation take a turn for the worse.
Leonard could fully imagine that the territories that had just been recovered not long ago, as well as the initiative in the entire war situation, would all be ruined due to his incompetence. This was an irreparable disaster.
After such a big mistake, even his father, His Majesty Hart, could not let him off lightly. Although his father valued him very much and was unlikely to let him die to apologize, the position of the crown prince would definitely not be saved, because the Rein clan would not
Possibly allowing an incompetent prince to continue on the throne as supreme ruler!
All of this is due to that damn Douglas.
Whenever Douglas's name flashed in his mind, Leonard gritted his teeth with hatred, but he had no choice but to admit that Douglas was indeed stronger than him.
When the gods appeared and the war between gods officially began, the decadent Prince Leonard suddenly cheered up. Because he immediately found an excuse that could both comfort him and was very convincing: no matter what
Whether it was the fall of the Imperial Capital or the reversal of the entire war situation had nothing to do with him, or even Douglas. All of this was due to the divine war. The imperial capital was lost because of the divine war. It was also because of the divine war that the situation had deteriorated to this point.
This kind of situation.
That was a divine war, something that no mortal strongman could stop or change. As a mortal prince, he could not be responsible for the results of a divine war, so he did not need to bear the consequences of a divine war.
The divine war outside the temple was already in full swing, and Prince Leonard secretly rejoiced: Let the divine war be more intense, even if the aftermath of the divine war turns the entire Imperial Capital into ruins.
, just enough to explain that none of this is his responsibility, and just enough to put all the blame on the gods. Only in this way can he maintain his glory, wealth and status in the Rein clan.
In the God War, no matter which camp of gods wins the final victory, it is no longer important, because it is not something Leonard can control. For Prince Leonard now, there is only one most important thing: immediately
After leaving, he returned to Waterdeep City, the base of the Rein clan, to explain the situation here to the Council of Elders and his father, and to seize the precious opportunity to consolidate his shaky influence and status.
Leonard, who once regarded the temple as the last safe place, decided to leave here, and he wanted to leave as soon as possible. He didn't want to waste even a moment.
A few personal guards have already done preliminary reconnaissance: because of the sudden start of the God War, the Kent army in the street fighting is desperately gathering in the direction of the temple. The southeast direction has not yet completely fallen, and the Rein tribe is still there.
under the control of the defenders.
Gods above, this is definitely the best news in this situation.
Prince Leonard immediately decided: leave the temple and go to the southeast of the Imperial Capital, protrude out of the city from there, and then return to Waterdeep City day and night to explain the situation here to his father, explaining that the fall of the Imperial Capital was not due to his own incompetence but to
Because of the divine war, only in this way can it be possible to consolidate one's position.
"Go, leave here, leave immediately..."
Before Leonard could finish speaking, the ground suddenly shook violently without warning. Leonard and the few close guards all felt that their bodies seemed to have lost all weight in an instant, and they became a little dizzy, and even
Before he realized what he was doing, he fell heavily to the ground.
Earthquake, it must be an earthquake!
Leonard, who was the first to react, immediately thought of the scary word earthquake.
Hiding in a room during an earthquake is like a little mouse still hiding in a cave when the flood floods. The result will inevitably be drowned or suffocated to death.
No longer caring about anything, he climbed up from the ground without hesitation, stepped on the shaky ground and rushed out of the room. Several guards who reacted quickly also rushed out behind him.
The earthquake was so violent and sudden that Leonard was unprepared.
When he desperately ran out of the room, he suddenly discovered that this was not an earthquake at all, but a man-made catastrophe.
Two huge light curtains appeared in the sky. These two light curtains were so majestic, as if two huge sharp blades had torn the sky into pieces! In the middle of these two light curtains, an unusual figure appeared.
Regular black round hollows.
This huge black hole, which is as big as a temple, is completely black and pure. Within the scope of the black hole, no starlight or anything else can be seen at all. Some small debris with light mass on the ground have begun to float up.
Moving slowly towards the huge black hole at a very slow speed.
Surrounding the black hole are the figures of gods full of magical brilliance, as if the stars scattered on the edge of the black hole are twinkling. Leonard doesn't know what it is, but he is sure that it is definitely not a natural phenomenon, but caused by
A supernatural form created by the divine power of the gods.
Combining the powerful divine power of the Lord God, the God of War, the Lord of Glory, the God of Dawn and other gods, the black hole created while tearing the sky apart looks silent, but is full of mysterious and unknown terrifying power.
Leonard could clearly feel that the black hole twisting in silence must be a huge catastrophe, which strengthened his determination to leave here.
The power of the gods not only created a huge black hole, but also tore apart the sky and cracked the earth!
Terrifying cracks appeared on the ground in an instant. These cracks were winding and stretching like giant poisonous snakes with life. The solid and thick walls collapsed quickly, and the majestic and densely arranged buildings in the temple were like small animals in the flames.
The beast made a painful roar. Even the towering dome of the main temple was shaking, and collapsed from the sky in a moment.
