“Then we should fight to the death! Wait for the Oracles to descend and kill that person!” a noble roared.
The Regent shook his head and mocked, “Don’t you understand? He is saving you, and the Oracles who descended this time…”
He enunciated each word, “They are here to kill you!”
The expressions of the surrounding people changed again.
“What did you say!?”
The Regent laughed loudly and said, “Ignorant and stupid. Since you want to know why I set a curfew and mobilize all the troops to the major cities, then I’ll tell you…”
“I want to turn this place into a sea of corpses before that Su Han comes here…”
…
Thunder City.
Su Han sat on the main seat of the City Lord’s Mansion. Below the stage stood the city lords of the western region, as well as Ensai and the Elven Empress.
Looking at the black-robed youth sitting on the main seat, many of the city lords could not help but feel shocked.
Although they knew of Su Han’s reputation, they had never seen the God of Death who single-handedly slaughtered a hundred thousand orc troops.
In their imagination, such a formidable figure might be a middle-aged man with a strong body and an imposing aura.
But who could have imagined that the legendary God of Death, the King of the Northern Alliance Army, was actually a young man who looked to be only sixteen or seventeen years old?
Su Han leaned against the throne and asked, “How is the situation in the Orc Empire?”
A city lord immediately stepped forward, “The first thing we did after receiving your order was to send troops to the Orc Empire. Up until now, at least one-third of the orc cities have been taken over by us. Although they have been resisted, they are not a problem.”
Ensai stepped forward and said, “Great Chieftain, this morning, Frida, who stayed in the tribal capital, sent news. Many small and medium-sized races in the Northern Lands hope to join us and receive your protection.”
One after another, news came from all over.
Su Han rubbed his temples. He was the King now, but to be honest, he felt that he was innately lacking when it came to handling matters.
He recalled what the Northern Land Spirit had said to him just now.
“Normally, I can handle it for you, but today is the first day that the various city lords meet you. How can a King like you not appear?”
Su Han finally understood why the main characters in many of the novels he had read in his previous life liked to be hands-off managers. He was deeply moved now.
The meeting was still going on.
At this moment, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door.
“Your Majesty, I have an urgent matter to report!”
Su Han opened his sleepy eyes and said, “Speak!”
The soldier immediately said, “Your Majesty, the soldiers guarding the city found a seriously injured person outside the city. That person seems to be coming from the direction of the Human Empire. He said that he has an extremely urgent matter to meet Your Majesty… He said that the human race has undergone a drastic change!”
The expressions of the surrounding city lords changed.
Su Han narrowed his eyes and said, “Bring him in.”
A few minutes later, a man covered in wounds walked in step by step. The wound on his chest was still bleeding. One could even faintly see the beating heart in his chest through the wound.
After seeing him, the expressions of the surrounding city lords instantly changed, and they said, “Thunder King!”
They knew this man, or rather, anyone who grew up in the Human Empire had heard of his legend.
He was a powerful tier-7 expert in the Human Empire. For a long time, he had been shouldering the heavy responsibility of guarding the southern border. Compared to the city lord of Saint Laurent City, his reputation in the South was even more illustrious.
However, at this moment, when everyone looked at his heavily injured body, they could not help but feel a chill run down their spines.
Just who was it that was able to injure the Thunder King to such an extent?! This was unimaginable!
The Thunder King raised his head and looked at the youth sitting on the main seat. After a moment of shock, he immediately regained his senses. The surrounding major cities were all standing at the side, and only the youth sitting on the main seat was sitting alone.
Clearly, this youth could be that King.
He was actually so young!
With a plop, he knelt heavily in front of Su Han and said with tears, “Sir, the only one who can save the entire human race now is you!”
Su Han frowned and said, “What exactly happened?”
The Thunder King raised his head and recalled what had happened in the Human Empire. His eyes instantly turned blood red, and his anger almost caused him to collapse.
Just a few days ago, after the officials of the Imperial Capital rushed into the Imperial Palace, they lost all news. The soldiers at the borders were all mobilized and dispersed to the major cities of the human race. He had also received orders to return to the inland.
He had originally thought that they were going to build a defensive line in the west to become enemies with the Northern Allied Army.
However, he was wrong. Just this morning, the Regent King issued an order to the entire army of the Empire.
“He ordered us to massacre the entire city!”
After hearing his words, all the city lords’ expressions changed drastically.
“Ridiculous!” One of the city lords stood up angrily and pointed at him. “According to what you said, this kind of thing is happening in the entire main city of the Human Empire. Then tell me, what is the Human Empire without its citizens?”
No one believed his words. In front of a great enemy, they did not face the enemy head-on, but instead massacred their own people. This was something even the most insane person could not do!
Su Han frowned.
The Thunder King raised his head, his eyes blood red. “Human King, the massacre is ongoing. I don’t know why they are doing this, but I know that in a few days, when your army enters the territory of the Human Empire, you will see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The human race is on the verge of extinction!”
Human race…
Su Han’s heart skipped a beat. In an instant, he stood up and a cold light shot out from his eyes.
“The Crimson Eye?” he asked in a deep voice.
No one else besides the Crimson Eye could do such a thing. To them, all the lives on the Second Continent were livestock. They didn’t care about how many people would die.
They were slaughtering the Second Human race, a force that he would need to rely on to fight against the First Continent in the future.
“Gather the army!”
Su Han walked outside expressionlessly. The city lords below the stage all followed behind him.
Their hearts were stirred. They had already vaguely guessed what their King wanted to do.
The Thunder King, who was kneeling on the ground, turned around and stared at Su Han’s back with bloodshot eyes.
He had risked his life to come here this time and did not hold any hope at all, because if he had not seen it with his own eyes, he would definitely not believe such a ridiculous thing.
Ensai frowned and said, “Great Chieftain! Do you really believe what he said? Could This be a trap?”
Su Han said expressionlessly, “They have a reason to do so.”
