When the volcano just erupted, Duke Anthony, no, it should be King Anthony, was attending the celebration of his newly appointed, a duke.

Since Elis left, the life of the nobles in the entire Elis King City has almost reached the apex of the entire continent.

A large amount of spices and a warehouse full of gold coins have attracted countless merchants from neighboring countries to trade.They brought the urgently needed population and food of the Kingdom of Elis, and they came all the way from afar. Almost every noble who stayed, because of this huge profit, the whole family was rapidly expanding.

King Elis took away a large number of nobles, and their territories were redistributed.The newly appointed King Anthony was obviously not as harsh as Elis, and these territories were generously distributed to every lord who swore loyalty to him.After these new lords took office, almost every one of them will hold a luxurious celebration banquet at home. Many lords will also follow the example of the previous King Elis, and distribute free bread and cakes to passers-by on the street. While they were enjoying themselves so much, King Elis was trekking hard towards the south. It is said that thousands of people died just because of the plague and disease.

At the banquet, all the nobles talked about how long their old king could go this way.Of course, they didn't care about the safety of the king or other nobles who left, let alone the safety of the common people—they were just worried, what if the old king regretted it and came back after the Xiaoyang Sect's resistance was too fierce?Do you want these new nobles to return to their original positions?This is of course impossible.

But as the days passed, the intervals between the news from the front became longer and better, and the news got better and better-King Elis was really good at fighting.Along the way, the Xiaoyang Sect hardly hindered Elis' army.When at last it was learned that King Elis' army had passed through Incisor Keep and headed straight for the mountains to the south, almost all the lords who heard the news cheered.

The Duke's celebration that Duke Anthony attended was the end of this series of celebrations-they had learned that Duke Elis had entered the damned mountain!The messenger just reported the latest news, saying that there is nothing on the damn mountain except stones, caves and bats, no spices, no gold... The whole team is almost going to mutiny due to the bad news.

On the eastern horizon, before the change occurred, King Antony was listening to the priest of the Dayan Sect, teasing King Elis and the others about the dinner they were having today: "...Maybe bat wild vegetable soup with a little sugar and pepper. In those caves The bats are going to be unlucky, 20 people, do you know if there are enough bats for everyone to eat?"

"Don't they still have an angel who distributes cookies?"

"Haha, if they still had cookies! Maybe they could put bats in the flour and make bat patties, which would be the national dish of New Iris!"

"Hahahahaha!"

All the nobles smiled happily, even King Anthony, who had always been relatively restrained, shook his head slightly and smiled.He was still betting right, he thought.This should be the most brilliant deception in the history of the entire continent!He ruined a most powerful kingdom.

The king put down the wine glass in his hand and was about to go out to get some air-good news always makes people so restless.What is Elis doing now?He would have used every punishment he knew of in a cave somewhere on the four liars who lied to him.Maybe he still wants to come back... But he can't come back anymore, the entire Kingdom of Elis has now surrendered to the Dayang Sect, and the new holy war army of the Dayang Sect has already gone to Front Fang Fort.Can the current Elis organize a larger-scale battle than the jihad of the Xiaoyang Sect?I am afraid that his soldiers and people are already preparing to riot because of hunger and dissatisfaction.

If Ellis had escaped alone, or only with a few nobles, he would have given him a Duke for the sake of the past.Thinking of this, he couldn't help it, and wanted time to pass faster—he really wanted to see what the expression on Elis, who had always been defiant, would be when he knelt down to him and called him king. how is it like.Oh, and his ambitious son, Prince Ellis...

Anthony walked to the door, called his attendants, and was going to ride a horse to the hunting ground to relax and digest the excessive food at the banquet.

"Dony, bring two more dogs. I heard that there are quite a few rabbits in the hunting ground here..."

But his guard did not turn his head to listen to his instructions, his eyes were looking towards the east, towards the horizon that was already blacking out—as if there was some pretty girl there.

Anthony followed the guard's eyes and looked in that direction. There were indeed a few maids with plates there - but those maids seemed to be standing still, looking further east.

Well, there seems to be a red sunset in the sky, deep red like wine, the color of that sunset is a bit strange, like a beam of light, and there is a large black cloud of smoke under the red - no, that is not sunset, the king realized, Is it a fire?

Like many boys around him, Anthony quickly climbed upstairs, ready to take a closer look at what happened in that direction.If it was a fire, he had to organize manpower to fight the fire - he didn't want this prosperous royal city to be destroyed by the flames.

But Anthony had just walked into the house, and before he had time to go up the stairs, he heard people outside the house and people on the roof exclaiming: "My God! Get inside the house!"

His bodyguard Duni also rushed in at this time, found the king, and said to him: "Your Majesty, please follow me, it is very dangerous outside."

"Donnie, what's going on outside?"

Doni's face froze for a moment, and then he replied: "Meteorites, countless meteorites, come to the basement!"

This new ducal mansion contained freshly dug basements, similar to those Antony had dug in his mansion, to shelter from possible catastrophe - just as word came of King Elis' deceit , Most noble families have converted these basements into storage rooms.What Anthony entered at this moment was such a storage room, which was stuffed with wheat, potatoes and vegetables, as well as some pork marinated with spices.A lot of people had already hid inside, all the nobles who were drinking and laughing in the banquet hall just now. When Anthony came in, everyone's eyes were fixed on him.

Most, like Anthony, are not sure what's going on.They can only send the guards out to learn more about the situation and report later.

A total of four guards were sent out, all four of them had pale faces, and their reports were all the same—in the sky outside, it was raining fire!The entire King Elis City has now been set on fire, and even in this mansion, the Duke's stables, hunting grounds, and the forest labyrinth under construction have also been set on fire at this time.

"Then hurry up and put out the fire!" The Duke blushed anxiously.

Anthony looked at the four guards. They were all battle-tested people with the Duke. Even in the face of hundreds of powerful enemies on the battlefield, they would not show the panic on their faces at the moment.He soon understood that fighting the fire was definitely impossible.

"Seal the entrance!" Anthony calmly issued an order, "From now on, no one can enter or leave this room without my order."

The door to the basement had just been locked, and everyone suddenly felt a violent tremor, as if the whole house and the ground were shaking.Then they heard a loud bang overhead—there was even a small crack in the basement ceiling.Through this gap, everyone could clearly see that the place where they held the banquet just now had become a sea of ​​flames. The dark red, cream-like magma was slowly flowing on the luxurious carpet. The burnt smell made everyone in the basement feel desperate.

"Quick, plug the gap!" Anthony immediately issued an order.

The entire ground was full of screams at this time, and the screams were also mixed with the howl of huge objects passing through the air.Anthony is very familiar with this kind of sound. When bombing the city wall with a trebuchet, the sound made by the stones in the air is just like this - years of war experience, Anthony can even judge the speed of the stones just by the sound , distance, and the type of corresponding trebuchet.

But at this moment, these whistling sounds made him feel chills all over his body. Their speed exceeded Anthony's imagination. For such a huge object to produce such a speed in the air.When these meteorites fell to the ground, it seemed that my heart was also interrupted by the shock.Anthony had no doubts that as long as such a stone fell on top of their heads, it would be completely impossible to block it with the stone and wood on the top of their heads.

This made him sound again. Once he asked a divine envoy, when he was still at home, directing the workers to build the basement, the divine envoy smiled and said to him: "It will be useful."

Anthony recalled the way the angel looked at him when he was speaking—that look made him very uncomfortable at the time. It was a kind of deadly look, as if seeing a man with a noose around his neck. the prisoner.

A few minutes ago, Anthony thought he was the winner of the bet, but now, the opponent's hole cards have been shown.

Elis is such a lucky old guy... Anthony sat down on the firewood pile blankly, the screams and screams outside seemed to have disappeared, and only the last look that the envoy gave him was left in his mind .

Is this God’s punishment for his betrayal?Anthony realized for the first time that he had made the biggest mistake in his life, and this mistake may never have a chance to be corrected.
