Me and countless me.
Chapter 606 The Falling Empire
Chapter 606 The Falling Empire
As stars fell once again, many people in the temples initially thought there was something wrong with their own statues, but when they heard that all the statues were malfunctioning, things became serious and alarming.
Cersei, who was insincerely praying for Robert in the empty temple—a prayer more for her own power and future—suddenly felt a strange sensation. Then she saw two figures appear abruptly in front of her!
Robert, soaking wet, and Ed, lying on the ground with his eyes closed!
At this moment, Robert was enveloped in seven divine lights, four of which had blurry figures. Cersei sensed their panic and fear, but then, some voices that were neither male nor female, neither old nor young, appeared in Cersei's mind.
"The evil god has invaded this world, and Robert will become our warrior. Cersei, take good care of him, and we will give him great strength and a strong body! He will absorb the power of the three sacrificed gods and become our representative among men, controlling all information and power in this world except for your home! Quickly place him at our feet and use your blood as his wife to carve his mark. We will grant you and Robert an incredibly powerful child!"
Cersei froze on the spot, staring at the radiant statues of the Seven Gods and the three statues that had just collapsed. Her eyes widened in shock, then fear.
Because once Robert regains his original heroic appearance, her affair with her own brother will be impossible to hide from him. Moreover, this so-called deity said something about 'controlling all information and power in this world except for your family,' which means...
The gods know that Joffrey is not Robert's child and will help her keep it a secret, but she knows Robert too well and is well aware that if he doesn't know anything about his own family, he will definitely investigate!
Moreover, that meddlesome bastard Ed, at the behest of that damned bastard Jon, is already investigating these matters and intends to bring Robert's bastard son back, so—
Cersei narrowed her eyes, silently drew her dagger, and, under the watchful eyes of the Seven, cut her own finger. The Seven, now reduced to only four figures, were incredibly weak, a weakness that Cersei had already noticed.
If the Seven Gods were truly all-powerful, why would they need her power to heal Robert? Unless they were already powerless, and bringing Robert and Ed here was already their limit.
So, to the horror of the Seven, Cersei plunged a dagger into Robert's throat, and the instant Robert opened his eyes, she slid it down, causing the king to spit out a torrent of blood and begin convulsing in the temple's quiet chamber.
Robert never dreamed he would die at the hands of his own wife. His eyes stared in disbelief at the woman he had considered a mere ornament, his life gradually fading away with the spurt of blood.
Cersei glanced disdainfully at the blood Robert had sprayed on her, tidied herself up, and looked at the enraged 'Seven'.
“My son Joffrey can be that warrior too, can’t he?”
As she spoke, she slid her dagger along, intending to kill Robert completely.
The Seven were furious, but Robert's already fragile life force was completely extinguished. He watched all this with his eyes wide open in death, and the Seven could only close their eyes and conjure a gleaming sword in front of Cersei.
"The one who wields this sword will become our warrior and representative."
They no longer dared to use their divine power to interfere with this world. Whether it was the two terrifying dragons or the purple-skinned archer, they all instilled fear in them!
The only power they could muster at this moment was the remaining power of their other corpse forms. The reason they chose Robert was because they needed mortal power to fight against Li Ke, and only Robert had this ability. But now that Robert was dead, the only option was to make Cersei's son Joffrey the warrior.
If Li Ke had put less pressure on them, they would have used their divine power to resurrect Robert directly. But now, they can only let that bitch Cersei do whatever she wants!
"Ha... God..."
As the light of the Seven Gods gradually faded, Cersei gave a disdainful sneer. The sudden appearance of these gods forced her to take risks, so the little respect and awe she had for the Seven Gods had completely disappeared.
But when she looked at the gleaming sword, she instinctively wanted to grasp it, but in the end she didn't have the courage to do so and instead screamed in terror.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! What are you doing here! Your Majesty! Doctor! A doctor is needed here! Quickly, summon the great scholar! Quickly, summon Joffrey, summon my son!"
Cersei's shrill and heartbroken screams echoed throughout the temple!
However, right after she called out to the soldiers, she saw Ed staring at her with wide eyes, looking at her in disbelief!
So Cersei hesitated for only a moment before plunging the dagger into Ed's neck, who was now completely immobile, and began to speak softly.
“Your daughter is lovely, and she’s engaged to my Joffrey… You should be content, Ed…”
Ed's eyes gradually lost their light, and as he was about to die, he saw in horror that his daughter was standing in front of the temple gates, watching all this with the other guards and maids who had heard the noise.
He wanted to say something, but in the end he did nothing.
Cersei noticed this as well, so she expressionlessly threw away the dagger in her hand, looked at the terrified soldiers, and spoke in an unquestionable tone.
"Ed's treason led to Robert's death. Do you... have any objections?!"
The guards looked at each other. They were all paid with Lylanistan gold coins, so at this moment they all lowered their heads, drew their swords, and plunged them into the bodies of those who did not react!
But some reacted quickly and escaped before the attack came.
Clearly, King's Landing is about to descend into chaos.
Meanwhile, Li Ke was astonished as he watched his gold coins soar. He looked at the shattered fleet displayed in Vashj's crystal ball, as well as the clearly panicked formation and morale. He felt a little regretful that he didn't have many fleets, otherwise he could have easily taken care of everything here with a single charge.
But there's nothing wrong with it.
He turned to look at Uther and Muradin beside him, as well as Jaina, who was preparing to cast a spell.
"Are you ready?"
"Of course, Your Majesty."
“I’m ready!” Muradin and Uther both nodded. The next moment, a halo suddenly spread from Uther’s body. Almost all the soldiers felt as if they were wearing a layer of armor. Even the Dothraki, who did not consider wearing armor an honor, felt that something had been added to their bodies and stared in astonishment at the blue light that appeared under their feet.
A Dothraki man tried tapping his arm with his scimitar, only to hear a metallic clanging sound. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't cut through his skin!
This discovery quickly boosted the morale of all the Dothraki, and it was precisely Uther's ability, a skill called Defensive Aura, that made everyone around him feel as if they were wearing a three-centimeter-thick full-body armor, resisting any incoming attack!
"I'm ready too!"
Jaina had also prepared all the magic arrays, and at this moment, the fleet that had attacked Li Ke also retreated to the coast in panic. They rushed from the ships to the land in terror, especially the soldiers who were prepared to land. In the midst of the storm and waves brought by the tornado, they frantically took off their armor to avoid hindering their movement.
However, at that moment, Jaina, dressed in a mage's robe, suddenly waved her staff, and a huge portal began to operate, while Li Ke's Dothraki cavalry began their charge!
The soldiers who had fled to the shore in panic also saw a blue dot of light appear in the air at that moment. But just as they looked at it curiously, the dot of light suddenly expanded! It turned into a blue halo and obscured the scenery in front of them, transforming it into the scenery of another place.
He froze for a moment, then cried out in terror.
"Dothraki!!!"
In his horrified eyes he saw countless soldiers wielding scimitars, who, led by Uther and Muradin, had charged for hundreds of meters, their cavalry's sharpness fully honed!
He was trampled into a bloody pulp by countless warhorses almost instantly. One after another, Dothraki rushed out under the horrified gazes of the Allied soldiers, roaring as they charged towards them and began to hack and slash relentlessly.
"Hold on! Hold on!!"
Renly, who was unharmed because he was not in the same fleet as Robert, was called out in alarm by Robert's third brother, who ordered his personal guard to quickly take his place. At the same time, Robert's Kingsguard, dressed in the finest armor, also moved up to take his place under the leadership of Jaime, Queen Cersei's brother!
"Everyone, follow me!"
Jaime rushed toward Muradin, who was leading the charge. He knew very well that he could not allow these cavalrymen to charge on the plains, or they would all die. So, for his honor and to ensure that his family would not be implicated by the king's disappearance and death, he chose to fulfill his duty.
He charged forward in a rage, displaying his best form. But just as he reached Muradin, intending to kill the dwarf, he saw Muradin's body suddenly crackle with countless bolts of lightning. In the next instant, the man, who was originally a head shorter than him, suddenly leaped to a height of nearly six meters, and the hammer and axe in his hands also grew proportionally larger!
He was not intimidated, but instead swung his best sword, while Muradin swung his hammer!
At this moment, his hammer was the size of a refrigerator in an ordinary household, carrying a force of several tons. The enormous force and impact instantly shattered Jaime into countless pieces of flesh and blood. Jaime and several other wrecks that were hit by the hammer were sent flying like cannonballs, sending the Kingsguard behind them flying through the air like rag dolls!
"Ahhh!!!"
The Kingsguard who had miraculously survived screamed in terror, and then Uther's cavalry charged forward!
Under the trampling hooves, the Imperial Guards were instantly overwhelmed, and the army of tens of thousands began to collapse completely at this moment. Countless magnificent tents and nobles in gorgeous armor scattered and fled, but they were all caught up by the galloping knights and killed.
As the blue light expanded, countless infantrymen appeared, and led by Kael'thas and Sylvanas, they began to deal with the battlefield, annihilating all the soldiers and nobles who refused to surrender after being divided.
Daelin, with only one steam-powered ironclad warship, and Vashj began clearing out the fleeing soldiers and ships at sea. However, it was less a battle against the soldiers and more a one-sided massacre.
Although it was only one ship, it was not only steam-powered in Azeroth, but also equipped with machine guns and Shumen mortars. Facing the coalition ships that only had crossbows, it was basically an adult beating a child.
While Vashj, who was assisting Daelin on the ship, couldn't unleash another tornado for a short time, she could still release chain lightning to borrow the power of the sky, and even use her own power to electrocute more than a dozen people remotely.
Of course, the standard for electrocuting a dozen or so people is relative to Azerothian adventurers who are clad in armor, battle-hardened, and on high alert. For the Westeros people...
Well, there's not much difference.
In this battle, Li Ke didn't even use Alexstrasza or Ysera, nor did he use any of the game units from the game store. He simply used the abilities of these few heroes to completely crush the Westeros coalition!
As Li Ke watched Jaina display the real-time battlefield footage using the crystal ball left behind by Vashj, he couldn't help but nod and glance at his in-game store balance.
"This time I'll earn more gold than when Alexstrasza and the others appeared. I killed the same number of people, but I got five times more gold than the two of them. That's enough for me to build an army that is completely loyal to me and has a new system, based on the game's unit types."
His balance skyrocketed from over 10,000 to 60,000, while the biggest loss came from the three fallen gods, each of whom cost him 2,000 gold coins.
Although the amount of money earned was indeed less compared to an army of tens of thousands, this was because the actual number of people killed was not large; only a few thousand soldiers and many nobles were killed.
The allied forces were already divided and unable to cooperate well. Many of them did not intend to contribute and did not expect to be on the battlefield. Moreover, after being repeatedly crushed by tornadoes and teleported cavalry, these allied soldiers had little will to fight.
Needless to say, the serfs and peasants who served as servants were the first to surrender after seeing the noble lords and professional soldiers fall. Unless they were unlucky enough to be hit directly by the first wave of Dothraki or were on the ship beforehand, their survival rate was over 99%.
Soon, seeing the situation was not good, Renly, along with the remaining soldiers, planned to retreat. Jaina, who had regained her magic power with the Moonwell, was about to open another portal to put the bloodthirsty Dothraki cavalry in front of her when Li Ke stopped her.
"No rush. Let them gather all the opponents first. Otherwise, it's troublesome and inefficient to deal with them one by one."
Li Ke was playing with an Iron Bank medal. He wasn't in a hurry to defeat the Westeros coalition, which was practically puppets of the Iron Bank. Instead, he planned to deal with the Iron Bank itself first. Besides, even if he gave them one hand, they still couldn't beat him. He would digest what he had gained after winning this battle before cleaning up the rest of the trash.
After all, he still has to contend with the White Walkers and the gods later on.
But what Li Ke didn't know was—
The Westeros allies are about to fight amongst themselves!
