Chapter 259 – Strangle a Large Kingdom By The Throat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the Profound Empire had fallen thousands of years ago, he had stabbed a knife in their back. With Li Cheng’s current relationship with Ella, he had to help her get back at him.
At this moment, Li Cheng looked thoughtfully at Prince Rigg, who was almost paralyzed on the throne. It had to be said that this guy was really soft-hearted. However, in his memories from his previous life, the Kingdom of Gold would become a strong existence in the future!
Almost three years later, the Kingdom of Gold would unify all the forces within the entire Universe Alliance. Then, they would almost flatten the current Li Nan Kingdom.
Suddenly, Li Cheng’s eyes lit up. In his memories, the Kingdom of Gold had a very powerful princess. Whether it was her IQ or her martial strength, she was a top-notch existence. Thus, he asked, “You seem to have a sister?”
Prince Rigg immediately fawned, “Your Grace, which one are you talking about?”
“How many younger sisters do you have?” Li Cheng continued to ask.
“Two. One is eighteen and the other is seven.”
Hearing this, Li Cheng nodded. “The eighteen-year-old, call her over.”
Prince Rigg heaved a sigh of relief and quickly nodded. “Okay. Someone, quickly call Princess Betty over!”
..
Soon, the sound of light footsteps could be heard. Then, a slender, long-haired girl slowly walked over. The girl’s face was still a little immature. However, the wisdom and calmness in her eyes were not something a girl of her age could display.
She used the corner of her eyes to look at Li Cheng a few times before lowering her head and bowing to Prince Rigg. “Brother, you called for me?”
Prince Rigg quickly said, “Betty, this is the Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Kent.”
The girl turned around and bowed to Li Cheng and greeted, “Greetings, Grand Duke of the Kingdom of Kent.”
Li Cheng sized up the girl in front of him and quickly matched her with the figure in his memory. He also confirmed one thing. The future rise of the Kingdom of Gold was definitely related to this girl in front of him.
When he thought of this, Li Cheng decided that he could not let her stay here, so he said, “We’re short of a few maids by Queen Lena’s side. I think you’re quite suitable.”
As soon as he said this, Prince Rigg’s eyes suddenly shrank. Maids? He actually wanted a dignified princess of a kingdom to be a maid?
However, Prince Rigg understood it after thinking for a while. Li Cheng’s method was too obvious. He was asking for a hostage!
He rolled his eyes, as if afraid that Princess Betty would go back on her word. He hurriedly said, “It would be Betty’s honor.”
Hearing this, Li Cheng blinked and could not help but laugh out loud. They were really brother and sister. This prince had sold out his own sister for the sake of the throne that he had just obtained.
He did not say anything further to Li Cheng. Then, he said to Princess Betty, “I’ll allow you to bring ten guards to report to the Kingdom of Kent within five hours.”
Princess Betty’s face showed an expression of disappointment. She shook her head and said, “No need. I can go alone.”
“Then, it’s settled.”
Li Cheng sneered. Was he still thinking of making a comeback? There was absolutely no chance. If he did not do it, would he still be Li Cheng?
Thus, Li Cheng said, “Your Highness, don’t worry. Queen Lena’s very benevolent. Princess Betty won’t be harmed.
“Also, Your Highness, please inform all your nobles to hand over all the resources in their warehouses to the Kingdom of Kent’s national treasury.”
Li Cheng paused for a moment before he continued, “In the next few days, I’ll transfer all the resources in your kingdom. From now on, you won’t have any resources.
“But don’t worry. I’ll open the teleportation gate between your kingdom and the Kent Kingdom. I’ll send resources to you regularly. There’ll be no problems with your daily expenses.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire empty palace fell into a deathly silence. Prince Rigg and Princess Betty’s pupils constricted and cold sweat instantly drenched their entire bodies as if they had heard something extremely terrifying.
Transferring resources? They had never even heard of such a thing. Was this not too ruthless?
Resources… Their large kingdom’s development would be forever restricted. Li Cheng’s method was going to completely strangle their fates. This way, they would have no possibility of resisting, and the Kingdom of Gold would forever be a vassal of the Kingdom of Kent.
Not to mention anything else, as long as Li Cheng cut off their food supplies, all the troops would starve to death in minutes.
Seeing that Prince Rigg still had not replied, Li Cheng raised his Evil God’s staff that was emitting a pitch-black light in his hand and asked coldly, “What? Your Highness, do you have any objections to this decision of mine?”
Prince Rigg took a deep breath. His fingernails had already sunk deeply into his flesh. After a full few seconds, he gritted his teeth and said, “No objections, Grand Duke Netherworld.”
“That’s more like it.” Li Cheng burst into laughter and did not forget to praise him.
..
Following that, Li Cheng was too lazy to waste any more time in the Kingdom of Gold. He took a look inside the national treasury and found there were not many good items. The strongest was only a piece of Mythical-grade equipment. He had no interest in it at all, so he casually threw it to Pearl for her to use.
The rest of the mess was naturally handled by the workers. Otherwise, what use would Li Cheng have for raising them?
Meanwhile, Pearl led her large army over and forced the nobles to hand over their resources. Then, in front of their terrified eyes, she transferred all these resource points away. All the nobles in the Kingdom of Gold were angry but did not dare to say anything. They could only watch Pearl transfer everything away.
Time flew by and three hours passed in a flash.
The Divine Dragon Alliance’s attack was very smooth. As countless players rushed to the scene, their attacks turned into a carpet-like advance. Since the Universe Alliance’s territory was not big, there was no problem with the carpet-like advance. The only problem was if all the players of the Divine Dragon Alliance could fit into the small territory.
At this moment, Li Cheng looked at the system’s alliance war panel.
[Alliance War]
[Offensive Mission Progress: 28%]
[Defensive Mission Progress: 72%]
Slowly closing the panel, Li Cheng nodded his head in satisfaction. The progress of the players was better than he had imagined. They had already destroyed the territories of many players in the Universe Alliance, almost one-third of them.
Li Cheng led his troops and continued to advance. After more than an hour, they arrived near the border between the Kingdom of Gold and the Li Nan Kingdom.
At this time, half of the area of where the Universe Alliance was had fallen.
At this time, the vanguard at the front reported that the Universe Alliance’s troops had finally appeared….
