Chapter 3: The King is Fearless, a

The setting sun is like blood.

At sunset, the old Duke is buried in the family mausoleum.

The falling sunset symbolizes the death of the emperor, and burial at this time is equivalent to comparing people to the sun.This is the treatment that only the king can enjoy. If other people are buried in the afternoon, it is a crime of usurpation.

Bone? Kahn led the ministers and stood in line in front of the tomb of the ancestors in the Gulf.Green grass and white flowers surround this domed hall. If viewed from a distance, this building looks more like an elegant temple than a mausoleum.

Indeed, Ba Gu thought to himself, this was once the main altar of the Sea God Sect, and 300 years ago, people worshiped their ancestors and consoled the gods here.But then the Gulf land was defeated, and the northerners expelled the monks, preventing them from continuing to worship their ancestors, and this place became a lifeless tomb.

He approached the dark blue wall.The bluestone wall was covered with mud and moss, and no one cleaned it for a long time.The golden reliefs of that year can also be vaguely seen on it.The little trident wiped away the mud with his hands, and the relief was revealed—the ancestors in the bay area were fighting sea monsters, and the mighty sea god and his sons and daughters faced the stormy waves together.The setting sun shone on it, and there was a bleak and desolate atmosphere.

Bagu turned around and looked at the officials behind him—the first thing he saw was that annoying old man: Earl Ropa of the North Sea stretched out his stomach, stretched out his soft armor, and he was sagging and full of softness. With a fleshy and stubble chin, his face was pale and decadent.

The eldest son of the Marquis of Fengleibao, Booker Mondalia, was looking at him. They looked at each other, and the latter smiled lightly and then looked away——Fengleibao and Jinshabao have different political views, and they have been fighting each other.

Lan Zuo was standing next to Booker. He was wearing an inconspicuous gray robe, with a half-asleep and half-awake expression on his face.Ba Gu glanced at him, the man still half-closed his eyes, as if nothing around him existed.

All the immediate vassals of Sands Castle sent representatives, and there were about 100 property knights present; Eyes, a look of sadness—maybe it was sleepiness, I knew that this minister was hungover in the brothel last night; He said, because the knight of Dawley Lance was beaten to death by him a few days ago; the four old ministers in the cabinet looked haggard, and he felt that if he ordered these people to stand for an afternoon, the ministers in the Gulf would have to half dead.

In contrast, the minister from the northern border appeared capable and powerful.

The northerners sent their chancellor and chief diplomat to attend the funeral.It was a 60-year-old man. He was wearing a pure black funeral gown with northern characteristics, with a headband of dried herbs in his hair, and his face was more serious than any Bayman present.His face was weather-beaten, but his waist was straight and his eyes were still alive.

His name is Kloin Tali, and he is the prime minister at the age of 28, the youngest in history.This man's talents and knowledge are so wide that only Lan Chu can compete with him; moreover, he doesn't care about fame, wealth, dung money, and everything he does for the northern border is because he loves the motherland.

Ba Gu looked at this man and thought to himself: It is not unreasonable for the northerners to rule the four principalities. There are not many such ministers in the Gulf.

At this time, he felt a piercing gaze - the monster monk with huge eyes was staring at him, urging him to start the ceremony quickly.Bagu doesn't like these god sticks, but he really needs the power of these people.

So he said: "My subjects! Today is the day when my father, your old king, is buried. When he was alive, he favored each of you. After he passed away, he will still bless you, me, and your descendants in heaven Descendants."

His tone was flat, and at the end he felt very impatient - lies, routines, rules, not to mention that death is like a lamp going out, even if my father is really alive, he will not bless me!He wished that I would die before him!

But the ceremony still needs to be done, and the officials below also echoed: "May the ancestors bless you." Their voices were like children who have morning classes at six o'clock.

"Kai Ling!" Ba Gu said.

People looked at each other in blank dismay, and the guards were puzzled for a while.Bugu glared at those people, and then the guards came up to open the gate of the mausoleum - there were a series of red tape before this, but Bugu was too lazy to do it.

The gate of the mausoleum is entangled with a huge soul chain.The chain was thicker than a human arm, and magic was cast on it, so that the devil could not enter, and the soul could not come out.In the middle of the chain is a big rusty lock, which probably hasn't been opened for many years.

The two guards poked with the key for a long time, and there was a harsh creaking sound from the inside of the lock, but they couldn't get it open no matter what.The officials were waiting here, the guards were sweating profusely, and the scene was very embarrassing.

Little Trident became impatient, he pushed the guard away and said, "I'm coming!" The guard quickly handed him the key, but he threw the key away, and then grasped the thick chain with both hands amidst the surprised eyes .The guards hurriedly retreated to both sides, and the crowd let out a low cry—the huge chain was comparable to a city gate winch, and even a bull couldn't pull it away.

Ba Gu pulled lightly with both hands, and the chain broke into two pieces.

The ministers suddenly exclaimed, and people stared at him with wide eyes.Ba Gu went to push the door, but the door was also rusted, he pushed it twice but it didn't open.Annoyed, he kicked the door.

"boom!"

The big iron gate on the right was dented in one piece, a lot of soil fell from the eaves, frightened birds scattered on the roof, and the officials were so frightened that they dared not come out.

He kicked again, the door collapsed, and dust was flying inside.With the dust settled, Ba Gu said: "Let's go in."

At this moment, someone behind him said: "Your Highness, this is the tomb of the ancestors. With all due respect, you are really rude."

He didn't need to look to know that the only person present who dared to question him was the young master of Fengleibao, besides Lan Zuo.

"It's not your ancestors lying here, but mine." The little trident glared at him, "You don't care!"

Young Lord Booker was speechless, and strode into the mausoleum with bony strides, followed closely by his royal iron guards to protect him.

Inside the gate of the mausoleum is an empty hall. When he was a child, Bagu had visited several times, so he knew the way.The burial ground is in the garden corridor behind the main hall, where the ancestors of their family are buried, as well as many kings of the Bayland.

The main hall has been in disrepair for a long time, and no one cleans it.Originally, Grand Duke Trident ordered people to clean it once a month, but obviously these people neglected their duties.I'm afraid no one has come in here for several years. It is full of cobwebs, rat droppings and peeling walls.The setting sun shot in through the broken stained glass and scattered on the ground.

Just then, someone uttered a cry: "Look! What's that?"

Ba Gu looked there, and saw a huge human-shaped black figure emerging from the end of the road, slowly floating towards them.

The King is Bold, II

The King is Bold, II

That thing was blacker than ink, and its shape was unstable, like a cloud of black smoke.The imperial guard immediately stopped in front of him, and Putin who accompanied him said, "Your Majesty, it is a ghost. Do you want me to expel him?"

"No need." Ba Gu pushed away the guards in front and walked up alone.

The black figure let out a piercing roar and said, "Who is so rude to disturb my sleep?"

"It's me, the new king of Bayland." He stood in front of the shadow and asked, "What are you?"

"Huhahahahahaha..." The black shadow let out a piercing laugh, and with that strange laugh, its figure began to swell and distort, and then the entire hall shook like an earthquake, with tiles and walls crackling fall down.

Many people turned around and ran away in fright, the little trident roared: "I will kill whoever runs away!"

The shadow said: "Are you from the Kahn family?"

"Yes." Ba Gu looked at him, "Who the hell are you?"

The black shadow hovered in mid-air and said, "I was also the master of the Bayland. I am Chauvin III, the last King of the Bayland."

The officials were in an uproar, but when Ba Gu raised his hand, the people immediately fell silent.He said to the dead soul: "You have been dead for 300 years, what are you going to do now?"

The dead soul of Chauvin III flew to the sky and looked down at him, saying: "You rude descendant! You disturbed the dead souls of the ancestors, I want you to kowtow three times in front of the tombstone to repent of your sins!"

The little trident shouted: "Kings don't kneel, cowards do!"

The souls of the dead let out a roar, and suddenly the hall was swept by wind and clouds, and the dust turned into a storm.All kinds of shrill cries hovered above people's heads, and the dust turned into generals, soldiers and knights, running past them.Some timid people turned around and ran away in fright, but the bony iron guards had already guarded the gate, and no one could get out.

Chauvin III asked loudly: "Who made you king? Who gave you this power? Is it the will of the sea god? Is it the support of the officials? Or did you steal the throne?" He laughed loudly and said, "The Gulf The people of the land are blind, let you be the king!"

"You rambling ghost, let me tell you, your era is over long ago, and now I am the king of the Gulf! Now I want to restart the ancient road, regain the lost land, and crusade against alien races!"

The dead soul roared, and he asked, "How many soldiers and horses do you have?"

"fifty thousand!"

There was a harsh rubbing sound between the dead soul's teeth, and he asked at the top of his throat, "Then who is your ally?"

"no!"

The dead soul screamed and asked, "Then what do you use to fight the northerners?"

Ba Gu did that action again, pointing to the north, and said, "Just kill like this! People block people and kill people, cities block people and demolish cities, and whoever resists me will be killed! At that time, I will be the king of the world."

This time, the ghost laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten up. He pointed at his bony nose and cursed: "You idiot! Do you think the soldiers of the northerners are scarecrows? You don't even know how scary the northerners are! They have Invincible iron cavalry, heavy armored infantry stronger than city walls, and all kinds of strange spells. Even me and my royal guard are no match for them, you! You reckless man, what do you want to fight against them? The people of the Gulf have already lost, and the children and grandchildren should be vassals and swear allegiance to our only king."

Ba Gu was really annoyed this time, and he scolded: "I thought you were a hero, but I didn't expect you to look so despicable! You shameless king of subjugation! I want to drive you out, you don't deserve to be here Live here!"

"Come and try it!" The black dead soul suddenly swelled up, rushing towards Bagu with a sharp smile.

The ministers screamed in fright, and the king's iron guard rushed up to protect him, but Ba Gu didn't need guards.

"Fuck you!" He raised his hand and slapped him.With this slap, the dead soul immediately flew away like a cannonball, and hit the wall with a "boom", smashing a big hole in the hall.The undead screamed and disappeared.

Bagu roared angrily: "Why does the king of subjugation have the face to come out to cause trouble? You die again for me!" After saying that, he walked into the hall.All the ministers looked dumbfounded, and no one dared to move for a while.It wasn't until Putin took the lead to move forward that someone followed him one after another.

They walked through the main hall and came to the garden corridor behind.The tombs of the ancient kings in the Bay Area are here. Since no one has taken care of them for many years, this "garden" has also been occupied by weeds, the tombstones are dilapidated, and there is still a stench of wild beasts inside.

I want to kill everyone who guards the tomb, he thought to himself.

"Come on, dig a grave!" he said loudly.

Two mausoleum guards came over with shovels on their shoulders and asked, "Which one should you dig?"

Little Trident glanced at them and said, "Dig two small pits first, and dig on the spot."

The two froze for a moment and said, "Dig two?"

Ba Gu stared: "Dig!"

The two quickly dug a hole, and Ba Gu called the Royal Iron Guard to come to help, and the hole was dug out after a while, the little trident nodded and said: "Okay, you two go in!"

The two mausoleum guards looked at each other and were dumbfounded at the time.The one on the left immediately knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, have mercy!" The one on the right was so frightened that he trembled all over.

"Go in!" Bagu roared.

So the two jumped into the pit.The pit was really not deep, and half of their bodies could still be exposed standing in the pit.So Ba Gu said: "Squat down!"

The two crouched down holding their heads.

Ba Gu waved at the Royal Iron Guard and said, "Cover the earth!"

Upon hearing this, the two of them didn't bother to beg for mercy, and immediately crawled outside.Ba Gu kicked the guy on the right with his right foot, and his brains burst; he grabbed the head of the guy on the left with his left hand, and lifted him into the air like a chicken.The man screamed loudly, and Ba Gu threw him to the ground, killing him instantly.

All the ministers around him trembled with frightened lips at this moment, and even the Royal Iron Guard's face was livid.

"Bury those two things," he said.

Tie Wei was stunned for a moment, then quickly picked up the shovel and buried the body.Afterwards, Ba Gu said: "Go back and set up a tombstone here, and on it is the tomb of the dereliction of duty."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Okay, now let's dig the grave." Bagu said.

The guard asked him, "Is it the old duke's grave?"

"No, it's digging someone else's grave—find me where Chauvin III is buried! I'm going to dig his grave and burn his bones to ashes."

The two iron guards looked at each other silently, neither of them dared to move.At this moment, an old man came out from the crowd and said, "Lord Kahn, please don't do this! Desecrating the graves of the ancestors will be cursed, and even the people of the world will be cast aside. I beg you here!" He said and knelt down.

No King is Fearless, Three

No King is Fearless, Three

It was an old man with a gray beard, named Gracia, who was in charge of sacrificial etiquette and other matters in the Sand Castle.Ba Gu looked at him and said, "I don't believe in curses, not to mention that if the ghost wanted to curse me, he would have cursed me just now; as for the people in the world's spurning? Is my fucking saliva still less? Which of you guys don't say anything anymore? Did you scold me?" He snorted, and said to the iron guards: "I told you to dig graves, don't you understand?"

He had just killed two malfeasants, and the guards did not dare to neglect them.Several guards hurriedly took their shovels to find the tomb of Chauvin III. After a while, someone shouted: "Here!"

Ba Gu walked over there.The cemetery of Chauvin III is between the flower bed and the classical fountain, but weeds have long been left on the flower bed, and only sewage and moss are left in the fountain.He sneered and said, "Dug him out!"

The old man begged him not to do this again, but he refused to listen, and then no one dared to raise objections.The guards began to dig the grave, and after a while a coffin was dug out under the ancient stone tablet.Chauvin III's coffin was made of some kind of steel, engraved with elegant black patterns.Some kind of precious material must have been used for the coffin - 200 years later, it's still as good as new.

But what's the use?Bagu thought that no matter how good the coffin was, he would not be able to come back from the dead.If it were me, I would throw the body into the sea and let it swim in the black sea.

"Open the coffin." Ba Gu said.

So the imperial iron guard went up to pry the coffin.Grand Duke Chauvin's coffin was nailed to death with rivets, and it was so strong that the two men pried it for a long time without making any gaps.Ba Gu was impatient again, and said, "Bring me my sledgehammer."

Bugu has his own guards, who are better and more loyal than the Royal Guards of Jinsha Castle.On weekdays, these people stayed with him every step of the way. The guards came to protect his safety and carried his weapons.

Each of Bugu Kahn's three weapons is extremely heavy, heavier than his father's trident, and no one in the entire bay can handle it except him.

Four strong members of the pro-guards came over carrying their warhammers. The four shouted, their steps were heavy, and they were very strenuous.

That sledgehammer looked terrifying.Its handle is about two meters long, and the hammer on it is bigger than a lion's head. This weapon is enough for Bagu to destroy any defense.

"Thank you." Ba Gu said to his soldiers, holding the hammer with one hand, and raised it above his head with a "huh".The crowd suddenly gasped in amazement.

"Chauvin III, come out to see me!" He said and smashed down with a hammer.With a bang, a large part of the hard coffin was smashed into an arc.The coffin boards were broken, and there was a foul stench coming from inside.Bagu laughed and said, "Dirty coward!" He hit the hammer again, and the coffin was broken in two.A thighbone protruded from the coffin, and bone debris was scattered everywhere.Ba Gu was in high spirits, he laughed loudly, and began to swing the hammer crazily.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!" The war hammer weighing several hundred kilograms was like a toy in his hands, and he seemed to be tireless, making dozens of rounds in a row.So amidst wild laughter, the body of the last king of the bay was smashed to pieces.He stepped on the "garbage" and said, "The Gulf doesn't need a king like you!"

The moment he finished speaking, the sky suddenly darkened, but a strange thick fog rose from the cemetery.It felt like there was a voice in the sky saying: "The blasphemer of the dead! The Bayland doesn't need a king like you!" Then dozens of black figures emerged from the thick fog.

The ministers were terrified, and some pointed to the shadow and shouted: "It's the old king!" Others shouted: "It's the king's iron guard! He is wearing a golden robe and armor, that's Chauvin I!" "That's the king of the North Sea!" "Then It's Dong Ke Wang!"

The ghosts of the kings of all dynasties were awakened.A huge shadow descended from the sky, covering these people.The voice from the sky said: "Repent your sins, you unworthy descendants!" Then countless voices surrounded them from all directions, "Repent! Repent! Repent! Repent!"

The guts of the ministers were shattered by this series of events. Someone knelt down and shouted: "I repent! Please forgive me, I am not a blasphemer!" Large groups of people knelt down.Ba Gu snorted, and said, "When I turn around, I'll kill whoever I see is kneeling!" As he spoke, he smashed the sledgehammer on the ground, and with a bang, a large piece of bluestone and bricks were shattered. Cracked, dented in a pit.

He turned his head three seconds later, and all the ministers were standing.

He smiled, and he said to the undead: "This is not your kingdom, and they are not your ministers! They only listen to me!"

The dead souls loomed in the fog, and various hoarse, low, and sharp voices came from the fog: "Faint!" "Tyrant!" "Mad King!" "Usurper!" "A blasphemer!"

Ba Gu roared: "You villains who gossip! Are you also worthy to be king? I am right here, come and fight me!"

His taunt angered the dead souls, and the dozens of black shadows swelled up and turned into a puff of black smoke that soared into the sky.Black clouds condensed on the sky, and the clouds turned into thousands of troops—knights, infantry, arrows, chariots, and the ancient king's army reappeared in the world.They soared through the clouds and roared like thunder: "You are not a king!"
