Leronweir was indeed a small town. Although it had a city wall (to be precise, it was a wall), it was almost non-existent. The wall was more than a meter tall and did not provide any defense at all. One could easily enter by flipping over it. Of course, they had followed the road and walked directly to the town gate.
Looking through the gate, Leronweir was a town that had been abandoned for a long time. Standing at the town gate, they could see that half of the town gate had collapsed. There was an incomplete sign engraved with the words "Leronweir …". There were no signs of people living in the town at all. Although they did not see anyone, they felt that something was wrong as soon as they arrived. This feeling was caused by the town being too quiet.
Yes, they had encountered some monsters on their way here. However, this place was not very far from the main city, so the monsters were not strong. They were only Level 30-40 monsters. Li Huailin and the others were too lazy to fight them because they did not have much experience. The guards at the side dealt with them after a few hits. Of course, the main point was that they did not hear any signs of monsters in Leronweir. This was a little strange. It was obviously an abandoned town, so why were there no monsters?
This was obviously not normal. The group carefully walked into the town. A few guards were very nervous, looking around to prevent any accidents. However, their vigilance did not work. They did not encounter any ambushes along the way. Soon, they found the person in question in the middle of the town.
In front of everyone was a very large empty space. There was a huge magic circle drawn on the ground of this empty space. This magic circle was in the shape of a cross. In the middle was something similar to the Elemental Rift that Li Huailin and the others had seen before. However, this time, the rift was black. There was a small magic circle on each of the four corners of the cross. On top of the small magic circle, three of the small magic circle had a pillar. Each pillar had an NPC tied to it with a chain. The only exception was the magic circle that pointed to the south. There was no pillar on it, but there was a person standing there.
Li Huailin saw the person from afar. After all, the person's name was written on it. It was written in red, which meant that it was an enemy unit. However, the person's surname was not written on it. When Li Huailin and the others arrived, Marshall was sitting on the ground. When he heard the commotion, he stood up and looked at Li Huailin and the others. Of course, the first person he saw was Anthony.
He was a male NPC in his thirties. His hair color and eye color were exactly the same as Anthony's. Although there were some differences in their appearance, it was obvious that he had the blood of Murat. Li Huailin focused on his opponent's attire. It was a pity. Although his opponent was also wrapped in a cloak, Li Huailin could still see the armor underneath. The cloak was only a piece of equipment on the back, and it was not counted in Li Huailin's Cloth Armor. Li Huailin had already tested it with the people from the Spirit Realm, so this guy could not be killed instantly.
"You're here?" The NPC spoke. His voice was slightly deep, and he could hear some excitement and bloodlust in his tone. Of course, it was directed at Anthony. "I didn't expect you to be so cowardly. You actually brought so many people with you …"
"Marshall …?" Anthony carefully looked at the NPC's face. Although he could remember the scene of him slashing the NPC, the NPC was only ten years old at that time. Anthony was also only ten years old at that time, so there was a huge difference. He could not see the NPC's name like other players, so he was a little doubtful.
"What's wrong? Pretending to be seeing me for the first time?" Marshall laughed. Of course, he thought that Anthony was pretending not to know him in front of his subordinates. This was because he had seen Anthony a few months ago. At that time, he had immediately assassinated Anthony. Of course, he did not know that the assassination had caused Anthony to lose his memory, which was why he could not recognize him now.
"Are you … really my brother?" Anthony asked again.
"Oh?" Marshall smiled slightly. "You're only talking about this now? Shouldn't you have confirmed it a long time ago? Otherwise, why would you try to kill me? Oh, by the way, I think you wanted to be safe. Even if you weren't sure about this, I was still your obstacle, so you killed me, right? "
Just as Marshall finished speaking, Anthony made a shocking move. He actually knelt in front of Marshall, and he even knelt on both knees.
This shocked the surrounding people. Anthony was now the Emperor of the Nasser Empire. With this identity, unless he met the Divine Light God, there was no one else who could make him kneel. Therefore, when he knelt, the surrounding people became anxious.
"Your Majesty! You … "Delnate was the most anxious. He hurriedly went forward to pull Anthony back, but he could not. Anthony was very determined to kneel.
"Go away!" Anthony immediately gave the order. Delnate also saw Anthony's resolute expression. Although he felt that it was inappropriate, he still hesitated for a moment and retreated. When the other guards saw Delnate retreating, they naturally did not dare to go forward.
With a "pu" sound, Anthony's entire body moved forward, almost lying on the ground, and he directly knelt in Marshall's direction. "This is all my fault. I don't know what to do to make you forgive me. If I can do it, please tell me."
Marshall was a little stunned. To be honest, he had thought of many scenarios, but he did not expect Anthony to directly kneel and beg for mercy. He had prepared a lot of gifts, but he did not use any of them, and Anthony had already knelt. This … For a moment, Marshall did not know how to react.
Of course, it was only for a moment. His hatred for Anthony was already deep in his bones. Although Anthony had knelt, of course, it was impossible for him to eliminate his hatred. He even suspected that Anthony was putting on a show. According to his despicable image of Anthony in his heart, there was nothing he wouldn't do. "What do I need to forgive you? Do you even need to ask? Of course, it's to take your life! "
"Wishful thinking!" Delnate could not hold it in anymore. Of course, he would not allow others to take Anthony's life, regardless of whether it was right or wrong. Hearing Marshall's words, Delnate took a step forward and shouted, "You …"
Before he could finish, Delnate was pulled back by Anthony. Anthony did not say anything and only looked at Delnate. Delnate was also suppressed by Anthony's gaze. Anthony still had the aura of an emperor. In an instant, Delnate did not dare to say anything and directly took a step back.
"I can't leave my life in your hands." Anthony took a deep breath and said to Marshall seriously.
"Hahahaha …" This answer did not seem to be out of Marshall's expectations. He immediately laughed out loud, with an expression that said 'I knew you were putting on a show'.
Anthony ignored the other's mockery and continued, "It's only been four months since the Empire was founded, and Su Lan and I are the only two left in the royal family. If I die now, the human Empire that has only just become powerful after so much difficulty would suffer a calamity …"
"So, you can't die for the sake of humanity and the empire, right?" Marshall laughed out loud. "Hahaha, well said, well said."
"Yes." Anthony, on the other hand, acted as if he did not hear the mocking tone in the other party's voice. He said seriously, "If I were just an ordinary person, I could give my life to you at any time because I owe you that. But not now. My life doesn't belong to me alone. I have a responsibility as the ruler of a country. I can't just abandon everyone and leave …"
"Your Majesty!" Of course, the people around them were touched by Anthony, because Anthony's words came from the bottom of his heart. Beside him, Dernate, Wilham, and the others also felt Anthony's sincerity and could not help but be convinced by him.
"Haha! What a good show. " Marshall laughed coldly. Yes, from his point of view, Anthony was obviously taking advantage of this moment to rope in subordinates. He knew how despicable Anthony was, so of course, he felt that Anthony was putting on an act. "Alright, I don't want you to die so easily. How about this? Hand the country over to me. After all, I'm a member of the Murat family, right? Then, you can die."
Of course, Marshall was obviously trying to disgust Anthony. Since Anthony said that he would not die for the sake of the country, he could hand the country over to him and let him manage it. Just because he was not the emperor, he could die. Of course, he was sure that Anthony would not agree. He just could not stand Anthony pretending to be so great, so he wanted to expose Anthony's true colors first.
Unexpectedly, Anthony did not even think about it and directly said, "If you want the throne, I can give it to you. As long as you can prove that you're a good emperor, I'm willing to hand the throne to you. Then, I'll kill myself in front of you as an apology!"
"What?" Marshall was immediately stunned. Anthony actually agreed? What was going on? It was different from what he had expected.
"Go back with me now. I'll let you handle all the affairs of the country. As long as you can prove that you can manage this country, I'll announce that I'll pass the throne and kill myself!" Anthony said seriously.
"…" Marshall was stunned at first, but he quickly seemed to understand something. "Hahaha, I almost fell for it. This is another one of your schemes!"
