This Lich Needs More Money

Chapter 367: Turning on the verge of collapse

 Lian should indeed collapse.

Many people think so, especially during the battle of Unholy Ode, which was the first time Ryan lost so miserably on a frontal battlefield.

This empire that has been arrogant for more than a thousand years, even if it believes in the Lord of the Dawn, it is time for the sun to set.

 Everyone thinks so, and the Lane people are also inevitable.

  After all, the more confident and arrogant a person is, the less they can afford to lose. This defeat was far from traumatic for Ryan, but it was a severe blow to their self-confidence.

The saying that Lane wants to finish has been circulating among the civilians.

Although it has not reached the level of national chaos, it has indeed affected the operation of the entire empire.

 But at this time, the initiator of everything stood up.

The young emperor read out the most sincere edict of guilt in tears. He did not shirk any responsibility and admitted that it was his first time on the battlefield, so he was so scared that he lost his courage after seeing the red dragon from the star realm. He panicked. It caused Ryan's defeat, and all the blame fell on him.

This apology made many people feel relieved.

 When did Llane's Emperor become so groveling? And he didn't shy away from his mistakes at all. It's not surprising for a child who is less than 18 years old to be scared on the battlefield for the first time, right?

 But if he just admitted his mistake, many people in the Llane would find it difficult to forgive him. After all, this little emperor killed a large number of Llane soldiers in one fall, and was more terrifying than the Githyanki and red dragons.

The families of those soldiers may not forgive him so easily.

It’s just that no one expected that the edict to sin was only one of its contents.

 Price Lane threw out the second heavyweight news, and the entire Lane royal family paid the price for this defeat. They failed the expectations of Holy King Arthur Lane and tarnished Lane's name, so Plath Lane will be the last Lane Emperor.

In order to prove that this is not a false lie, the Lane royal family has committed suicide in shame. They would rather commit suicide and fall into **** to accept punishment than let Lane's name be tarnished again.

 This news is too shocking.

The Ryan royal family is astonishingly large in number. The total number of all the young and old is over 10,000. The palace is filled with members of the royal family from inside to outside and from top to bottom.

This only counts the blood relatives living in the palace, not the side bloodlines that were passed down through marriage many years ago.

The royal family mentioned in this statement must only be directed at the people in the palace, which means that all the people in the palace are dead? The only bloodline left by the Holy King is Price Lane?

After the news came out, everyone was shocked. The elders who had long since stopped caring about the world came out again and gathered at the Imperial Palace to confirm this.

 Then they saw Price Lane tearfully confessing his faults, and said that he would not have any more children, and that the next Lane emperor would be selected from other nobles.

This breaking news was like a sap, knocking everyone into confusion.

It's not just that. Although the little emperor did something stupid and caused heavy losses to Lane, he couldn't let the entire Lane royal family be buried with him. More people died than those on the battlefield.

But regardless of whether this apology was too extreme, at the cost of the lives of the entire Ryan royal family, all dissatisfaction was finally completely quelled. Many people even advised Price Lane not to give up the throne and to have children while he was young.

Where did the name of the Lion Empire come from? Is it possible that everyone still doesn’t know? Ryan is no longer the emperor, who dares to be the emperor? Who deserves to sit in that chair, who has the merit to rival Arthur Lane?

However, these people were all blocked out by William Garrison, the Shield of the Empire. The reason was that the emperor had suffered a major blow and needed to calm down now, so he would not see anyone for the time being.

The old general opened his mouth, and others did not dare to ask any more questions.

That's right. Such a big thing happened within a few days, so the emperor should calm down. These old guys didn't come out to watch the fun, they came here for Ryan. Every old man is either from the military or a provincial governor. There is even a former supreme judge who is almost too old to walk. These old people may be seriously lacking in energy, but if they put their reputation here, they can quickly stabilize the entire empire if they work together.

 In this way, Ryan became stable in the turmoil, and people's hearts slowly reunited.

 Having a group of royals who are willing to sacrifice for the glory of the empire, what else do they have to complain about?

 Price Lane was hiding in the palace, and there was still a faint smell of blood in the air. It was the faint smell left behind by the purge after countless people died.

Although he hadn’t seen anyone for several days, he was not depressed at all. Instead, he had an unstoppable smile on his lips.

Price Lane said to Atros Eternity in his mind: "It's really amazing. He is worthy of being the king who ruled the entire continent back then. I'm not surprised that you can recall your memories so accurately, but you only moved slightly." With a little effort, the old man William Garrison was on my side.

“If he hadn’t blocked the road for me, we wouldn’t have had time to block all news in the past few days.”

It is impossible to massacre the entire Lane Royal Family in just half a day, and the Dragon Arms cannot continuously reverse the time of the entire Lane Empire to allow Price Lane to perform massacres.

 Hence, the real time of death of many members of the royal family was after Price Lane announced the death of all the royal family.

At this moment, time became a toy in the hands of Atros Eternal. He obviously died a few days later, but in the impression of others, he was already dead long ago.

This method makes it impossible for all the Ryan royal family to escape, or even to spread any news.

When those people died, they couldn't even tell what timeline they were on. Many people saw their corpses because of the chaos of time, and then they became madmen, and then they became knives for killing others, and finally they turned into lunatics. Death due to madness.

 The key to this plan was William Garrison, who kept all the important people out of the palace. These old men are legendary at every turn, and no matter how bad they are, they are high-level paladins, much better than the trash in the palace who can only give birth to children.

 So, someone must help block the car.

 The power of time made William Garrison forget the moment when the little emperor tried to die on the battlefield.

William Garrison only remembered that the little emperor was surrounded by red dragons in the sky, and his memory after that became blurry.

Atros Eternal said calmly: "Human memory is a very important thing, and emotions come from memory. This old man is a staunch supporter of the royal family. Just let him forget your most stupid behavior, even if he hears it from others Telling you about the crime you committed will make him feel less bad about you. The stories he hears are not as profound as what he sees with his own eyes.

"As long as the old man no longer firmly opposes you, throwing out the two cards of repentance and suicide will be enough for him to work for you again. This will be very effective against the kind of good old man who claims to be righteous."

 Price Lane asked again: "But he will feel something is wrong. The lack of memory is always a flaw."

Atros Eternal said confidently: "Don't worry, he is too busy now. I said he is a good old man, so for the sake of the stability of the Ryan Empire, he will not care about such trivial matters for the time being, but will do his best to restore the empire." Calm down. When he has time to think about this issue, I will help him slowly recover his memory, just like he remembers it by himself. In this way, he will just think that he is old and has a bad memory. "

“If he thinks about it, won’t he be against me?” Price Lane’s expression turned sinister and he asked, “Should we find a chance to kill him?!”

Atros Eternal was silent for a long time, and then said: "Don't you have any confidence in yourself? With such a long buffer time, you can't even regain an old man who originally supported you? Even if it doesn't work, you should completely master it. With the power of this empire, why are you still afraid of a mere legendary paladin?”

But Price Lane said: "Wouldn't it be easier to kill him directly? We have this invincible power!"

Atros Eternal shook his head and said: "Little guy, although the power of time is powerful, it is not omnipotent. How do you think I was killed by Arthur Lane in the first place? Even gods can be killed by mortals. If you With the idea that the power of time can solve everything, you'd better leave as soon as possible, otherwise you will soon have your head chopped off by a paladin like the dragon."

 Price Lane frowned, and although he was unwilling to do so, he still asked: "Then what should I do?"

"Be your emperor. Now the lives of all the royal family have bought you some buffering time. Be a qualified emperor, win back the trust of your people, and let all the strong men of Lane surround you. Be with me and become the next Arthur Lane. You don’t need me, the dragon tyrant, to teach you how to be a holy king?”
