When the messenger rushed straight into the Royal Council with the news of the fall of Kurast, everyone was completely stunned by this shocking news.
Farah stared at the messenger with straight eyes, as if he was trying to identify whether this guy was a human or a demon sent by hell to deceive them.
The pipe in Kane's hand fell directly to the ground, and the originally calm face of this respectable wise man was now only confused and pale.
Jehein bounced up from the throne with a "swipe" sound, as if someone had installed a steel nail trap on the throne.
All the ministers fell into a strange silence, and even the ceremony officers and attendants standing in the corner were confused.
"Damn!! How dare you! How dare you run into the Holy Royal Council to deceive your king and guardians?! Where did you get the courage!"
King Jehain was the first to come to his senses, but his first reaction after regaining consciousness was anger and disbelief.
How can this be?!
Kurast is a heavily armed fortress port! The armaments stationed there are several times stronger than Lugoindu.
Because the "King of Hatred" Mephisto, one of the three demons of Hell, was once imprisoned in the rainforest, the Demon Fortress Council stationed a powerful military force there second only to Harrogath.
There are as many as eight legendary strongmen stationed there, and the Iron Wolf Guard mercenary regiment, the main force of the Acropolis, is an elite who has been withdrawn from the front lines of the second world!
How could such a powerful force just fall?
This is a big joke!
Someone must have felt itchy on their neck and dared to come here and make such a joke with him!
"Yes... it's true! Your Majesty the King! This news was told to me by Sage Drognan himself! I still have the token he gave me here!"
The messenger was trembling with fright at Jehein's sudden burst of anger, but in the end he mustered up the courage and took out a fiery red coat of arms from his arms.
Farah rushed to the messenger in two steps, grabbed the coat of arms, and after looking at it for a moment, his whole body began to tremble crazily.
"How about Farah Sage...? This guy must be joking with us, right?" Jehain noticed Farah's abnormality, and a very bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
The next moment, his premonition was confirmed.
Farah nodded very heavily and said in an extremely hoarse voice: "This is indeed Zhuo Genan's personal mana emblem. What he said...should be true."
Wow!!
As soon as Farah's words came out, the entire dome hall suddenly started boiling like a boiling pot. All the subjects of the kingdom were shouting with panic on their faces, but even they themselves probably didn't know what they were talking about.
something.
Even the face of the Kingdom's Finance Minister Cesi Ezekiel, who had been standing silently in the front row of all his subjects, was cast into a shadow. He did not expect that the matter would be so serious.
After all, Jie Hain is the king with the blood of the Hain royal family flowing in his body. At this critical moment, he is still the first to recover from the shock and confusion.
His expression quickly calmed down, and then he shouted loudly in a loud and calm tone.
"Quiet!!"
The king's voice drowned out all the arguments and incoherent shouts, instantly restoring calm in the domed hall.
"Mulundel! I want you to go to the military camp immediately and lead all our soldiers to the harbor area. From now on, a curfew will be implemented there. The city guard will cancel all rotations and patrol the streets immediately!"
"Understood! Your Majesty!" A subordinate wearing a black robe and full of majestic aura came out of the queue, turned around and walked out without any hesitation.
"Gigres! You take the royal messengers and inform all the oasis cities on the gravel wasteland, asking them to be more vigilant and strengthen their armaments, check all professionals who enter the city, and be sure to prevent any evil people from sneaking in! Especially
It’s Fort Yucatana, so they must be on guard!”
"Yes! Your Majesty!" A savage-looking subordinate wearing leather armor came out and quickly ran out after receiving the order.
"Sisi! Immediately start gathering food and supplies, prepare all supplies needed for the battle, declare Lugaoin City to be in a state of emergency from now on, and impose additional war taxes on all merchant caravans! Put all war preparation supplies under control.
From the time the order is issued, all private transactions in these materials are prohibited!"
"As you wish! Your Majesty the King!" Sisi also knew that Lu Gaoyin was now at a very dangerous juncture. There was only less than ten days of sailing between Kurast Port and Lu Gaoyin. Since Kula
Sturt has fallen, so Lu Gaoyin is also likely to be attacked!
Therefore, he did not dare to cause any trouble at this time, but went to carry out the order very quickly.
"Kansa! You go notify the desert mercenaries and tell Graz that they have been hired by all. Their mission is to assist the city guards in patrolling the streets in the city. All people and things suspected to be related to hell or cultists must be controlled first!"
"Yes! Your Majesty the King!" A skinny old minister came out of the queue. After receiving the order, he quickly turned around and walked out.
"Sage Farah, I would also like to trouble you to gather the professionals in the city and tell them that Lu Gaoyin is in a state of emergency and we need their help!"
"It's your job, Your Majesty." Farah stepped out with a gloomy expression, nodded to Jehain, then greeted Kane, and the two quickly walked out of the palace.
"All other subjects of Lu Gaoyin! Our city is now under great threat! I need you to devote 10% of your energy to appease our people, raise war preparation supplies, and assemble all available manpower and material resources! We
We need to work together and fight to the end for our homeland!”
Jehein shouted to the remaining subjects in an impassioned voice. His face was red, and his face was filled with the feeling of "living and dying with Lu Gaoyin".
"Yes! My Majesty!" All the subjects replied in a loud voice.
"Go! This court meeting is over! Go and defend our homeland!"
Jehein nodded with satisfaction.
Then the subjects under the throne quickly began to disperse, and the entire domed hall quickly returned to silence.
"You guys go down too...I need...to be alone for a while..."
The king dismissed all the attendants and ceremonial officials. When everyone was gone, he sat back on the throne.
It was only then that Jehein's face showed a pale and frightened look.
He began to breathe heavily, and the palms placed on the armrests of the throne began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Damn it! Why me! Why do you have to be under my rule?!"
The king murmured softly, his words full of pain and grief.
After a short while, he suddenly stood up and paced left and right in front of the throne with a frightened expression.
"No! I have to... I have to think of a way out! I don't want to die here! I haven't fully enjoyed the taste of rights yet!"
Then, as if he thought of something, his face slowly became firm again. Just when he was about to make up his mind, he looked back at his throne, and then his face was filled with hesitation.
"That ship! That ship should still be there! I can use it... but now is not the time... maybe... maybe the target of those hell demons is just Kurast?
That's right! It must be like this...I can't be in a hurry...not in a hurry..."
