The Golden Throne

Chapter 237: The new King

“The twentieth century? What are you talking about? Don’t tell me! Do you have a bomb that is actually more powerful than the one that you used now? Weapons like that should not exist in this world.” Bai Lu looked at Liu Feng menacingly. 

“Sometimes, what makes a kingdom powerful are the people. By uniting every part of the kingdom, and bringing a lot of proper implementations, I will be able to do so much more. Forget fighting this much. If the whole demon army arrives next time, I will be in a position to stop them single-handedly without even losing a life. All I will have to lose is a little bit of sleep to achieve all of this.” Liu Feng said.

“Lofty claims. Can you back them?” Long Che asked.

“You promised to stay in my city. I will make the capital a new wonder of the world. I will show you things that you have not even seen in Dilheim, and I will make a paradise. But all of that aside. I need to go to the army now. They will be in panic without a true leader. And I have people that I need to see, right now.” Liu Feng said.

“I will bring you there.” Arad nodded as he leaned forward and took Liu Feng in his arms. He looked like a damsel being saved by the hero, and Arad jumped up to leave the place. After a few moments, the others who had come also left.

Army Campsite.

“Where the hell is the king? And the crown prince? How can both of them disappear like that? Why did His Majesty just rush in like that? Just because there were fewer demons? I have no idea what is happening right now.” George was moving around frantically. 

The army itself had set up a site where they were battling the demons. The war had been won because there was no longer a demon in sight. Just corpses and blood. The children who had fought painstakingly were resting, and George was left taking care of all the problems and unrest that came after.

“Sir! The dragons have returned. They have the crown prince in their hands. He is healthy, and nothing seems to be wrong with him. His Majesty, the king, is still nowhere to be present.” a soldier came near George and said.

“The prince is here? I will take that at least.” Geroge breathed a sigh of relief as he rushed towards where the soldier pointed. Indeed, he could see Liu Feng. Liu Feng had also noticed George pacing towards him, and he walked towards George. 

“Your Highness! This is wonderful. It is time to celebrate. The war has been won. Never before has a war of this magnitude been won with such few casualties! Where is your royal father? He had disappeared from sight.” George asked.

Liu Feng’s face was grim.

“Don’t tell me.” George staggered back.

“Father was brave. He thought that he would be able to help, and he did. He valiantly vanquished a few demons but was caught in the crossfire of the bigger fights that were taking place. He could not keep his life. He was a brave warrior till the end.” Liu Feng said.

“This cannot be happening. Of all people to die, why did it have to be him?” George muttered.

“This is not the time to panic, General. Although it pains my heart to do so, the first thing that we need to do is shift the command to me, and return to the capital. With the onset of the Demons, there is a new era that is going to come, and it will not be a very kind one. With the war just behind us, all the kingdoms north of us will have their eyes on us. We cannot afford to lose focus now. I need to speak to the kings of Darv and Elvan now.” Liu Feng said as he darted his eyes to the side, They hovered at a spot for a moment, and Liu Feng walked away from Geroge.

“The moment that you died, he took control. He might be decisive, but I am not sure if he is going to be the right replacement for you, Liu Man. You truly left us too early.” George sighed as he looked up.

Liu Feng, meanwhile, saw the two kings taking to themselves. He approached the both of them.

“Boy! You were right. This truly is one of the greatest things that has happened. The war is over. Never have I thought that it would be so effortless.” Balor laughed.

“Although our victory is cause to celebrate, the losses were also substantial, kings of Elvan and Darv. It is with great grief that I stand before you. Today is not a cause for celebration. The demons have not been vanquished fully, and Aegon stands without a king any longer.” Liu Feng said.

“Liu Man is dead?” Balor stumbled back.

“How did he die? This cannot be happening. The stupid cunts in the north will be ready to abuse us at any point now. What do we do?” Damascus shook his head as he looked down.

“This is the time for us to be forming an alliance beyond that of a temporary one that we have formed due to the war. I am sure that with this war, we are nothing short of comrades. I agree that this was not the usual war, but it was one nonetheless. I know that there are going to be problems with the share of the land, but for me, that is no longer my top priority. For me, the most important thing to do is to have a proper hold of my kingdom.” Liu Feng said.

“So you are going to take charge of Aegon huh?” Damascus sighed.

“As the crown prince, it is my duty. I must not leave this aside for my own personal reasons. This is a responsibility that I was born for.” Liu Feng said.
