Chapter 51 The vacant throne
Severu did not tell the other elves the news. He transferred command to his confidants, so he rushed to the southern coast with five assistants.
Why did Bellicille send this signal to himself?
King Augustus, what's wrong?
God the Father is above, in this stormy day, we cannot lose our king.
If there were no king, we would be a mess of sand and each would do our own things.
In the Pig Man City on the southern coast, the capital where the high elves are stationed, the first druid of the elves, and the most powerful druid, are currently entertaining the six hundred upper elves who come to the junction of the southern part of the plateau and the lowlands.
These upper elves are already very tired.
They were somewhat wounded.
Bellicille arranged for more than 100 of his apprentices to use [Quick Healing] and herbs to stop bleeding and pain relief to treat these high elves. However, they were powerless to overdraw their bodies.
As the leader of these six hundred elves, the high general [Kungu] entered the room in Pericre and came over to express his warm thanks.
At that time, [Kungu] entered the room, and Bellikri was sitting under the window facing the sun with a heavy book made of papyrus in his hand, enjoying this rare time with relish.
Berlikri glanced at the elf beside him. "Put the stool for General Kungu."
The elf apprentice immediately brought a stool over.
【Kungu】Thank you to Bellicilli and said, "Thank you really, Bellicilli, thank you for treating my men for their injuries and making us a clean room and delicious water."
Berlekri put down his book, poured him a cup of tea, and handed it to him. "General Kungu, you were injured because of the war for God the Father. How could I not treat you with all my heart? Come and have a glass of water."
"With the news you brought from the Eastern Defense Line and some new magic, I think this can increase our chances of winning."
"I have asked someone to inform General Severu, and he will come soon."
"Now we are the only one left on the plateau. If we can't unite anymore, then who can fight for our race?"
[Kungu] After taking the water cup, he felt that he had received the grand reception from Pericre and was very helpful in his face.
"Of course, Lord Pericre, we should unite."
Berlikri said: "Mr. Kungu, can you join our guards after your people are a little better? It's winter, the rebels have a large population, and their agriculture and fishery have been destroyed by war. I guess they will attack several cities in the near future, and our staff are really not enough."
Kungu hesitated for a moment. His men were exhausted now. Even if he received treatment, it would be too much to join the battlefield immediately...
He was about to refuse, but Bellicille said first: "You don't need to go to fight. As long as you stay in that city, scare the orcs, and make them mistakenly think that there are heavy troops to guard."
"For the people of God the Father, I would like to ask you and your outstanding soldiers for help."
[Kungu] He had just received such a grand reception, but at this moment he was told through by Bellicille. [Kungu] felt that he had no reason to refuse again, so he drank the water in the cup, "Okay, Lord Bellicille."
After he left, the elf beside Bellicille winked at Bellicille.
"Teacher, those six hundred injured elves cannot exert much combat power. Why do you want General [Kungu] to defend the city?"
Bellicille tapped the little boy's forehead with the back of the book, and the elf closed his eyes with a 'ah' sound.
The elf said: "Teacher, why do you always knock on my head? I will become stupid."
"Who makes you like to interrupt the things about sir?" Bellicille suppressed her smile. This little guy is already stupid and cute.
He explained patiently: "I just wanted to prevent it. Let Kungu and others defend the city just for the surface. First, it was because they really didn't have enough staff, and second, it was because of the first meeting. If we were just good to them, they would just take it for granted, despise us, or think we despise them."
"Find something for them to do, and that's cooperation, not their dependence on us."
The elf blinked too much, "Teacher, you didn't care much about these things before."
Berlikri smiled bitterly. "It would be great if I could go back to my past time, just sit in the sunshine in the garden reading, writing books, and eat some ripe persimmons planted by myself next to the house."
"It's just that now that I'm in this position, I have to do these things."
"What's more, everything is different now."
The elf said silly: "But now we are still people of God the Father, what's the difference?"
Berlekri sighed. "Because King Augustus left this continent, the throne was vacant."
"The rule of King Augustus may indeed have left us unreliable."
"But as long as the faith of God the Father is still there, it will not fall apart."
"But now, as the king on the throne disappears, the elves who have long held power may have a covetous desire for the throne."
"Little apprentice, I must prevent any factors that may cause division and infighting."
Bellikri looked up and looked out the window. "Although I had no intention of becoming the king of the elves."
Augustus' departure made the elves even more turbulent. The elves have not yet relieved from the grief of the king's departure and the enemy's invasion of the king's capital. But once they reacted, it was not far from the internal struggle.
In the afternoon, Severu came to the southern coast.
As soon as Bellicille and Severu met, the two shook hands eagerly.
Since Severu summoned Bellicill a year ago, the two have appreciated each other's achievements in the academic field. As the two wisest scholars of the elves, their relationship has been very good before.
In the capital, Severu said: "My old friend, what's going on?"
Bellicille said to Kungu: "General, you still have to say it again."
So Kungu said it again.
After listening to all the twists and turns, all the elves in the hall were silent.
They felt the unparalleled courage and final devotion of King Augustus, but they also felt the sudden sense of emptiness in their hearts after the king left, as if order was gone.
The royal politics that once maintained for thousands of years has now disappeared, making every elves unaccustomed to it.
But when these elves recognize reality, this disagreement will be replaced by another thing.
Severu sighed: "The Father is above, King Augustus is reborn, and his heart that considers the people makes him return to the right path of God the Father's faith."
"In addition, it turns out that the weakness of the insect swarm is the wisdom insect."
"Oh, so that's it."
"So, we must come to General Severu for discussion, what should we do next?"
The elves in the hall suddenly shook.
Yes, what should I do next?
If there is no king, do you need to choose another one?
Then who will be this king?
