Four of the five city lords soon died under the butcher knife of the Iron Guards.
There is no regret or guilt at all about this.
From the moment these city lords became independent from the Tian'en Kingdom, they no longer had the right to live in his eyes.
"Your Majesty, this last one is a woman. Back then, the Kingdom of Tian'en was destroyed by a woman. Now, I hope you can take action yourself. Your kingdom must not be destroyed by a woman."
Wan pried open Lin Dang's tightly clenched hands and put the sword into Lin Dang's hands.
"King, kill her! If you kill her, the entire royal city, with its 500,000 Golden Light Guards and 40,000 Iron Armor Guards, will be ready to fight and wipe out all the rebels and thieves in the world. The world will be yours again."
[At that time, you had ministers to assist you, and you also had your father's benevolent heart. Why should you worry about the grace of God not coming to you in a prosperous era?]
Wan's words were like the devil's whisper from hell, echoing continuously around Lin Dang's two tentacles.
[Uncle Wan, stop talking. I won't kill anyone.]
Lin Dang threw the sword in his hand to the ground, and his two pincers kept shaking.
[You don't know how to kill? It's okay. No one is born knowing how to kill. Your Majesty, I will teach you.]
Wan said as he placed the sword back into Lindang's hand and held it tightly.
[Look, just like this, feel the divine power surge in your hands, and then, pour the divine power into your weapon, and the weapon will have the ability to pierce shells and armor.]
[Just like that, look, slowly and gently, I thrust the sword into her body. Then, I increased the output of divine power, letting it explode within her body. You see, it's very easy.]
As Wan finished speaking, the last city lord slowly fell under Lin Dang's sword.
No, to be precise, it was Wan's sword.
Wan was in control of the whole process.
Lin Dang had no power to resist at all.
He is like a puppet.
"Enough!!! Wan Wangzuo, when will you finally understand that the Kingdom of Tian'en is long gone! Even if my mother hadn't killed my father, and he had died of old age, he wouldn't have made me king. Do you understand? What you're doing is completely meaningless. There's no such thing as an unchanging prosperous era. Even King Maya couldn't foresee the fourteen years of chaos that would follow his death."
"Do you understand? The Six Dynasties were all about the selfish schemes of one family. This was my father's last words before he died. Don't you understand? He didn't want the world to be dominated by one family. He wanted it to be a world for everyone, not just for me, Lin Dang!"
Lindang threw the sword to the ground and said angrily to Wan.
He doesn't want to kill people, and even less does he want to be a king.
If possible, he would like to follow the path his father arranged for him and become a traveler around the world.
Or you can just find a hilltop, take a nap, watch the clouds roll by, or become a wandering poet.
No matter which one, it has nothing to do with the king or creating a prosperous era.
[The king is refuting me? Hahahaha, fine, fine, fine. How could a true king simply agree with me? Your refuting me just proves that you have the potential to be king.]
Facing Lin Dang's questioning and anger, Wan did not refute.
On the contrary, he was happy.
A king who can truly create a prosperous era will never be a puppet of his subjects.
King, that's how it should be.
"Wan Wangzuo, do you understand? I don't want to be king, do you understand?"
When Lin Dang saw Wan's appearance, he became even more angry.
Wan didn't take him seriously at all.
Wan has always arranged his Lin Dang's life according to his own ideas.
This made him very angry.
[The king doesn't want to be king? The world belongs to everyone in the world? Humph! How pedantic and foolish!]
"You enjoy the offerings of the people, so you must sit in this position. How can you not sit on this throne? Are the people's taxes just feeding the air?"
[A world for everyone? The people of the world are no longer able to protect their own world. You, the king supported by the people, need to step forward and protect the world for everyone, instead of just holding a slogan, constantly saying that the world belongs to everyone, and then eating the people's offerings and saying that you don't want to be king?]
"My king, open your eyes and take a good look at this world. The people are wailing! They need you. As the only heir of King Tian'en, no one else has the ability to save them."
Wan picked up the iron sword that fell on the ground, held it in both hands, and knelt in front of Lin Dang.
[This is the sword your father carried when he conquered the world. You should take it.]
There was expectation in Wan's eyes, and he looked at Lin Dang deeply.
If Lindang is unwilling to unify the world again.
Then his sending troops from the royal city is neither justified nor logical.
The Kingdom of Tian'en has been destroyed for decades.
People will not recognize the status of the royal city.
However, if he was the only son of King Tian’en, it would be different.
King Tianen is a legendary figure in himself, not to mention that he is the one chosen by Tianen.
If his son is willing to come out and raise his voice to rebuild the Tian'en Dynasty, he will surely have many followers.
And then supplemented by his powerful military force.
The world will be able to settle down again.
[Your Majesty, please take over the sword of the late king, restore the country, restore the grace of heaven, and protect the people!]
Wan Meng lowered his head, and his two tentacles exuded strong emotions.
[Your Majesty, please take over the sword of the late king, restore the country, restore the grace of heaven, and protect the people!]
One after another, the Iron Guards knelt down, their tentacles continuously emitting pheromones, stirring in the air.
【Why, why me, I don’t want to be king.】
Lin Dang took two steps back, his steps were very staggering, his whole body was resisting, trying to escape from the palace.
[Because you are the only son of the previous king, you were able to cultivate to this level and enjoy the peace and security you have today because of the support of the people. You cannot abandon them!]
Wan explained very patiently.
He was still kneeling on the ground, without any transgression, and his hands were still respectfully holding the so-called sword of the previous king.
If the people pay taxes, the king and his ministers must protect them.
That's how it should be.
This is what truly embodies the principle that the world belongs to everyone in the world.
Instead of eating the offerings from the people, throwing away the burden and saying that the world belongs to everyone in the world.
If that is the case, why should people all over the world still pay taxes?
[You, you guys, are you guys planning a rebellion? ]
Lin Dang looked at the Iron-clad Guards kneeling in large numbers around him, and his expression became a little flustered.
"Your Majesty, you are joking. If you do not wish to be king, how can we be considered as rebels?"
"If you wish to be king, we are merely fulfilling our duties as subjects. How can this be considered a rebellion?"
Wan said slowly.
He was calm, but pressing forward step by step.
The world must have a king to protect the safety of all people.
This king could never do that, and neither could the ambitious people, traitors, and Sun masters outside the royal city.
The only one who is qualified is Lin Dang, the son of King Tian'en in front of him.
