I draw a card first

Chapter 451 The Elegy of the King
Flames, shouts, fighting, death.
Looking at the enemies receding like a tide under the city wall, the blood-stained orc general Augustus spat hard, spitting out half of the sharp teeth that had just been punched by the strong enemy who had just climbed onto the city wall.

Then, he kicked the opponent's head off the city wall.

Looking up into the distance, the endless rebel camps outside the city stretched as far as the eye could see. Looking back at the dilapidated capital city, where the flames were still not extinguished in many places, Augustus couldn't help but sigh.

As a pure soldier, he couldn't figure out why Aruye, the great motherland that was still a prosperous country more than a year ago, would be reduced to what it is today in a short period of time.

Because of the failure of foreign wars?
Because of the counterattack of the nobles?
Because of the conspiracy of external forces?
Maybe it has all of these.
But no matter what, as long as the king is alive, he will continue to assume the responsibility of protecting the capital!

"Soldiers, cheer, we have once again defeated those damn traitors!"

"When the reinforcements from the other two countries arrive, these cowardly wastes will eventually die!"

The general's shout lifted the exhausted soldiers a little bit, and then those with lesser injuries began to hurry up to treat their wounds, while the soldiers who were seriously injured were groaned by the auxiliary soldiers composed of women and children in the rear. carry away.

Without the priests, the potion has long been exhausted. Whether these people can survive can only depend on whether fate favors them.

At the same time, some skinny half-big giant rabbit-man teenagers who were generally "slimming down" because of hunger, wearing simple leather armor, also swayed there, started to extinguish the flames, and tried their best to find items to repair the defects on the city wall.

Everything seems to be in order, but all the orc soldiers know in their hearts that they really can't last long
It can even be said that if the enemy's forces had not had a bad relationship with each other, were on guard against each other, and did not really use their strength to launch an all-round offensive, the capital would have been captured long ago.

Less than [-] elite soldiers had lost more than [-]% in the long-term siege and attack.

Most of the guards on the city walls are either young orc civilians who have never participated in any military training before, or old veterans who have retired from the military, and most of them are disabled.

As for the young giant rabbitmen who have not experienced formal training, because they are naturally easy to bomb the camp, even in this case, they can only be used for odd jobs.

Even food and drinking water are about to run out.

Even the soldiers fighting on the front line can only maintain three or four full meals a day, and today they have no appetite.

If it weren't for the glory, coupled with the still strong output of the 36 super-large magic towers, and the sense of security given by the towering city walls, the guards would have collapsed long ago.

"My king..."

Augustus sighed again when he saw that the personal guards had just stuffed it quietly to him, which was not as big as a slap, and it was completely unclear what it was made of.

I suddenly have a craving for meat...

At the same time, in the palace behind, the old king also sighed.

The latest report on the situation in the city clearly tells this hard-working and ambitious king all his life.

——Besieged on all sides, ammunition and food are exhausted, and the remaining magic power reserves are at most enough for a big battle...

Really, I can't stand it anymore...

"Is...is this the end?"

When this moment really came, the orc king found that he was much more indifferent than he imagined.

After all, there has never been a country that can last forever in this world. Even a behemoth as powerful as the Dragon Empire will be destroyed one day, let alone the little Aruye?
only…

"I have worked so hard to gather power internally, build roads, strengthen trade externally, and expand territories, but I didn't expect that in the end I would become the king of the country's subjugation...

It's really a bit, not reconciled..."

Looking at the wooden table with a clear dent caused by the scales on his arm due to his hard work day and night, and looking at the surrounding rooms that have not been renovated for decades, even if there are attendants cleaning them hard, he slowly got up. , walked to the bookshelf beside him.

A black double-edged ax was quietly placed in the center of the wooden frame.

His fingertips brushed against the axe, which had not been used for more than ten years but was still sharp. Due to the passage of time, the dark armor born as an orc showed a hint of gray. The old beast king suddenly grasped the giant axe!
Since it is unavoidable, the fall of a king should be vigorous, accompanied by blood and endless death!
"Old man, let's have one last carnival together!"

In an instant, when the young man was in high spirits, he held a huge axe, wiped out the rebellious monsters, wiped out the disturbances of the nobles, and defeated the human army many times.

He turned around suddenly!
"Come here, wear a battle armor for this king!"

The thin guards outside the door poured in silently, and to the surprise of the Orc King, the Orc Queen, who was also no longer young, also walked into the room at this moment.

The husband and wife looked at each other, and all the tacit understanding was in silence.

"Go... my great hero..."

For my husband, the prince who is always so proud and brave in my heart, I put on the dark blue legendary armor inherited from the founding king.

Looking at his back with tenderness, two months ago, the only son was sent to other orc kingdoms to ask for help. At this moment, the queen, who had nothing to worry about, smiled and drank a bottle of potion like ink...

At this point, as the dilapidated city gate slowly opened, the Orc King, who led the last army, roared generously and tragically in front of the 50 rebels.

——I am the representative of the glory of the gods, the descendant of the blue hero Helmon, and the ruler of Aruye!Who will fight with me!
The ancient capital finally fell after 41 days of siege.

The last three kingdom generals, sixteen commanders, and the other 370 nobles of the royal city who followed the Beastman King out of the station all died on the spot.

From this moment on, the Aruye Kingdom, which had lasted for 500 years, officially declared its demise.

At the same time, the huge resistance army also collapsed in an instant. The 15 reform army who believed in the Holy Light fought a big battle with other forces on the spot. The once prosperous capital was completely burned because of this chaos.

The raging flames burned for ten days and ten nights, and even the scarred city walls collapsed in the long-lasting heat.

And with the tumbling flames and billowing smoke, this ancient land has once again entered the chaotic era of warring for hegemony...
