Epilogue (3)

The war is still ongoing.

This conquest was far from over until the very end, even though Goethe Nassis had wisely chosen to flee and Juan Tu ambitions to make a comeback.

For the time being, William doesn't need to pay attention to the threat he poses.

"Goethe died in my previous life, but Augustine didn't. This time, Augustine is mine. Do I care if you Undying? Anyway, we won the Main Quest, and the secret rulers of these two Duchy will become mine!" William smiled smugly.

It has to be said.

He finally experienced the joy of being reborn.

Especially in this Main Quest, he fully demonstrated his advantage of having prior knowledge and played his cards very well!

He encouraged Black Rock to launch a proactive attack, and in the early stages, various proactive offensives were launched in order to capture Rhine City.

Their aim was to give the Steel Duchy an opportunity to use the Underground Passage to wipe out Black Rock.

William didn't have such grand ideas in his early years.

But Kuri gave him the chance!

He wanted to become Count; he had the same ambition as many others—an ambition to do anything for power.

It was around that time.

William gradually developed a plan and the idea of controlling the two Duchy.

In the ensuing Dragon-Slaying War, he profited immensely, exchanging Dragon Crystal for many benefits, including those crucial Illusion Scroll!

After being secretly controlled by him, Marquis Chris actually killed the Second Prince and sent his head to the First Prince.

Originally, the Second Prince of Black Rock was truly dead, and the First Prince never doubted it. However, using the Archmage's Illusion Scroll, the Second Prince has now come back to life.

Now that the King is dead, the other princes, who had little power, are either dead or have fled.

If the Blackrock Duchy does not want to descend into chaos at this time, then the only option is to let the Second Prince ascend the throne. With the strong support of Marquis Chris and a host of Grand Nobles, the Second Prince's throne is absolutely unshakeable.

The 300 guards surrounding the ' Second Prince ' were actually 300 Dragonblood Warrior, to ensure that the Second Prince's identity was not revealed.

At this point...

The final episode has finally arrived.

Not long after.

He returned to the battlefield once again in his true identity. When Tyrannosaur and the others, who had been fighting for a long time, saw him, they could only think "MMP" (a vulgar expression).

The Dawn City Lord is a scoundrel. He seems incredibly fierce usually, but he runs away when it matters most. He only comes out to claim credit when Rhine City is defeated.

William ignored the stares of the others and roared at the top of his lungs, "The Dawn Army is invincible, charge!"

He charged into the crowd, breaking through the last defensive line of the city wall, and then swiftly and decisively slaying dozens of people. His domineering presence Unrivaled, surrounded by lightning, like Divine Descent.

"Awkward..."

"Your Highness is so cowardly..."

"All you do is bully the lowly soldiers, why don't you go and take on that High-Class boss one-on-one?"

"That's right, that's right."

Some unsuspecting Player felt a little embarrassed, but since they had won a great victory, they didn't care where the Prince had been slacking off earlier.

Does William care?

No.

The most important point about intrigue is that whatever benefits and Glory you gain, you should keep it to yourself and not say it aloud.

Especially when faced with the final spoils, he could withstand any attack on his pride, even Magic Cannon.

The death of Black Rock King did not elicit any loud shouts.

Or rather...

Even if someone shouts out, they might not be heard on the chaotic city walls and it wouldn't affect the overall situation.

Because the Royal Guard Legion commander, Raekton, is dead...

This Legendary Boss was the First Prince's most loyal henchman; with his death, all worries are over.

Moreover, the ' Second Prince,' protected by 200 Dragonblood Warrior, is far from being someone that some Assassin can kill at will.

As for the Marquis Solz?

The First Prince's father-in-law was originally a military commander, someone William was very wary of.

But the moment Black Rock King arrived on the battlefield, he seized the troop mobilization order and took away the commander's title...

That's some crazy move.

Wow, this is something William couldn't imagine, but there's not much to say about it.

The reason is simple: the First Prince wants to add to his resume an achievement that no one in the Blackrock Duchy has accomplished in hundreds of years—the conquest of the Steel Duchy!

No doubt about it.

Throughout Earth's thousands of years of history, countless King and monarchs have made this kind of blunder: changing generals or commanders on the eve of battle. This kind of taboo in military strategy has been repeated countless times.

For every winner, there is a loser.

Black Rock didn't lose, but he died, and the command of the Black Rock Legion was taken away by the ' Second Prince '.

Marquis Solz, stripped of his military power, was left dumbfounded.

Upon hearing the news, he coughed up a mouthful of blood and became completely listless, as if he were about to die at any moment.

But in the end, he did not betray Black Rock, nor did he order Diablo, the war's leader, to retreat. Instead, he allowed Diablo to continue leading the attack.

no way.

He was Nobles, a Marquis, and he couldn't do something to harm his own people just because the First Prince had died.

Benefit.

These two words are the key.

For the Nobles.

Family ties? Love? These things don't exist in the eyes of most Nobles; everyone in the family exists for the benefit of the family!

He was over a hundred years old and had a more open-minded view of things; he understood even more clearly that the interests of the family were the most important.

At the height of Black Rock's victory, it would be better to let his retainers lead their people to achieve even greater military exploits, thus giving the Second Prince no reason to kill him.

The Rhine City is very large.

After Black Rock paid the price of 20,000 Warrior ' lives, it was finally captured, and the city gates were opened.

More troops stormed into the city, and the sounds of battle filled the air.

In an instant.

The Steel Legion continued to crumble, its defeats as swift as a landslide, with countless deserters and surrendering soldiers abandoning their Disarm.

Commander-in-Chief Kelnote was forced to lead his 20,000 remaining troops and a group of bewildered Steel Players in retreat.

at this time.

Commander-in-Chief Kelnote was furious. He grabbed a soldier by the neck in disbelief and asked fiercely, "Are you telling the truth?"

"Pee pee pee..." The soldier's legs trembled and he struggled. The commander-in-chief's aura was too fierce, and for a moment, he was so scared that he wet his pants.

"Useless." Kelnote threw it on the ground.

"Commander-in-Chief, it's true... Lord Goethe was taken away by a giant black hand." This soldier felt a stomachache as soon as he entered the battlefield, so he defecated in the ruins for almost two days, which is how he witnessed that scene.

"Damn it, damn it!" Kelnote was almost furious. He was about to execute the soldier when Wells, who was beside him, stopped him and made a gesture to calm down.

Kelnote took a deep breath. He noticed Wells's gaze shifting, clenched his fist, and then nodded knowingly. The two walked aside and began talking about something...

P. S.: Spoilers for Avengers: Endgame are really unfriendly. I was writing until 1 a. m. yesterday, while you guys went to see the movie and I was writing, and now you're giving me spoilers the next day? Is that okay?
