Chapter 404 Ascending the Throne
The soil smelled of rain. Under the gaze of everyone around him, Darren just nodded calmly and condescendingly accepted the Yardley royal family's invitation to surrender with the attitude of a superior.
At that moment, those who came to surrender were relieved. They had always been afraid of the "Iron Mask" of the Fisher family who would rob and massacre the royal city.
Darren looked around and frowned.
He looked at the old man with concern and asked: "Why? Of the Yardley royal family members here, only five of you are here? Give me a suitable reason, why are the others not here?"
"because……"
The old man lowered his head with a complicated look on his face. After hesitating for a while, he chose to tell the truth without hiding anything:
"Cardinal Albert of the Redemption Church, he took away most of the members of the Yardley royal family. Those people who are in the Redemption Church of the Lorne Empire will never come back to Siyat in their lifetime."
"They will never again pose a threat to the Fisher family."
Well, I was actually picked up by people from the Redemption Church...
Have you evacuated?
Darren frowned deeply after hearing this, and soon realized that this was a big hidden danger. However, those people had already been taken away, and there was nothing he could do to stop it even if he wanted to.
He sneered, and the killing intent in his eyes frightened the old man.
"As expected of the 'Light of Strange Transformations' that has mastered the power of space, it's so quick to do it."
In fact, Darren knew deep down in his heart that the Redemption Church decided to interfere with the secular world for a very good reason, because the Yardley royal family was also a descendant family of the ancient saints of the Redemption Church, with divine blood flowing in their bodies. They could not sit back and watch the divine blood family be completely destroyed.
"Forget it, that's it."
Darren shook his head slowly, thinking deep in his heart.
"Taking a step back, it's a good thing that I didn't catch them when they were evacuating. After all, the 'Light of Strange Change' can restrain Uncle Chris in an instant. I'm afraid I'm no match for him. Plus Aldrich and others No one can tell for sure..."
Darren has heard about Cardinal Albert, the "Light of Strange Changes" for a long time, and knows very clearly that he is a top powerhouse who can manipulate the power of space at will. There is an invisible space barrier around him at all times, and he has almost invincibility. On the defensive side, ordinary monarchs and extraordinary beings cannot even touch him.
Even among the many terrifying figures at the upper level of the monarch, Cardinal "Light of Strange Change" is one of the strongest.
"And no matter what, we can't really fight against the church's big shots."
Even though he had already captured Siyat, he was still very self-aware.
After all, Siyat is just a small eastern country, and the Fisher family has very limited power. They will never dare or be provocative in the face of the Redemption Church, one of the most powerful righteous churches.
Although the six righteous churches cannot directly interfere in secular disputes, it is undoubtedly within the allowed scope to fight back against enemies who take the initiative.
"You made the right choice."
Darren was neither sad nor happy, he looked at the old man and spoke calmly.
"Lead the way, take me to the palace."
Since all the Yardley royal family cannot be killed, there is no need to attack the few remaining people, and it can also give face to Queen Peggy Yardley.
With heavy steps and the neighing of war horses, the conquerors slowly stepped into this prosperous and quiet city, their guns shining coldly in the sun, and every step they took announced the arrival of a new order.
People on both sides of the street closed their doors and cast fearful and complicated eyes through the gaps in the windows. Children were held tightly in their mothers' arms, while the elderly lowered their heads and sighed, their hearts full of anxiety and uneasiness about the unknown.
Aldrich followed Darren and took a deep breath.
It is a good thing that King Si Yat City was not completely destroyed by the war. Most of the people in this city were sacrificed in the early stages of the Catastrophe of the Dead, or died in the aftermath. It would be terrible if they were massacred by "Iron Mask" Darren again. That's bad.
Deep down in his heart, he was a little afraid of Darren, and he could vaguely feel that the man was always suppressing the deepest things in his heart.
That is the most terrible madness! He seemed to want to burn everything clean!
"Mr. Byrne is a kind and gentle man, but one of his successors, Darren Fisher, is a completely different 'crazy man'. I am afraid that the existence of the Fisher family is a root of his sanity. The line did not let him completely fall into darkness.”
As the ranks of the Northern Kingdom's army continue to deepen, the atmosphere in the city becomes more and more depressing. However, this depression is also mixed with subtle expectations for the end of the old order and new possibilities.
Although this expectation is buried deep under the people's fear, it is completely difficult to detect.
Darren calmly gave orders on the road.
"No one in the military is allowed to harass the people, vandalize, or set fires. Otherwise, they will be sentenced to death."
When the army finally arrived at the outskirts of the palace and everyone stared at the magnificent building that symbolized power, the atmosphere of victory and joy had reached its peak.
The palace door was slowly pushed open with a huge roar, and the ancient and solemn atmosphere rushed towards the face.
The moment he stepped into the palace, Darren's heart surged beyond words. He was not only excited about the victory that he had already achieved, but also felt a strange pleasure of realizing his dream.
"The Fisher family has finally reached this point. We have risen from a small fishing town, and we have walked step by step under God's protection and love..."
He knew that the Fisher family was about to stand at the pinnacle of power, rule the land of Syat, and shape a new chapter in history.
However, under the surging tide, Darren also hid his deep thoughts about the future.
He was deeply uneasy.
Darren knew that conquering Syat was just the beginning. The real challenge was how to govern this land, how to make people accept the new rule wholeheartedly, and how to leave the mark of the great lost lord on the Syat people!
"To turn this country into something that belongs to Him, the kingdom of God of the great lost lord on earth..."
He stepped into the palace. The interior of the palace was magnificent, and every detail revealed luxury. The huge crystal chandelier hung from the towering ceiling, casting a soft and bright light, illuminating the spacious hall.
Passing through the intricately decorated porches, in the depths of the Syat Palace, Darren, who came alone, suddenly found a throne inlaid with gems and gold, symbolizing supreme power and dignity.
"This is the throne that belongs to the two generations of kings of Syat. Haha, let me sit and rest for a while before Peggy sits on it. I think she will never care." He walked forward slowly with a smile on his face, sat on it without hesitation, and then felt very uncomfortable. "The war is finally over, but many things are just beginning..." —— The treasury of the palace not only has a large amount of gold and silver treasures, extraordinary materials, but also a large number of books, documents and precious mysterious objects, which are the accumulation and inheritance of the Yadley royal family. The most regrettable thing is that all the taboo objects have been transferred abroad by the Yadley royal family in advance. Aldridge put his hands behind his back and calmly came to the large bookshelf several meters high. He immediately began to flip through the treasured books, trying to understand the history of this land that he didn't know. "Very good, these things are the real treasures." He consulted a book that recorded a lot of information about the "Apocalypse Legends", and almost sorted out and classified a lot of information about the existing Apocalypse Legends in the Krad world. "The thing in my body should be one of them..."
Aldridge fell into deep thought. The golden substance in his body devoured the Speechless One and became more and more active recently.
It seemed to be awakening!
"So what are you?"
"Why did you suddenly come into my body? Or did I forget some key memories?"
——
Sitting on the throne inlaid with gems and gold, exuding the glory of supreme power, Darren's figure seemed particularly tall and lonely. His hands rested lightly on the armrests, but his eyes penetrated the splendor of the palace and looked at a more distant and deeper place.
He was thinking in his heart how to link the name of the Fisher family with the throne and the land forever.
The internal worry was that although Siat had been conquered, the hearts of the Siat people were not completely submissive.
On the surface, they submitted to the new rule, but some people still missed the old days in their hearts and were wary of the Fisher family, the Roman family and Queen Peggy.
How to appease the people, eliminate the barriers, and make the Syat people truly accept and support the new rule has become the primary problem that the Fisher family must face.
In addition, the disputes among several major internal forces also gave him a headache.
Finding a balance between many interest groups and ensuring the stability of the power of the Fisher family is a problem that must be carefully considered.
Foreign invasion is a sword hanging over the head of the Fisher family.
Although they have successfully conquered this land, the surrounding countries and forces have not given up their covetousness for this land. They are secretly accumulating strength and are ready to find opportunities at any time to join other forces to invade Syat.
The Fisher family must remain highly vigilant and sober-minded and formulate effective strategies to deal with the new war that may come.
"There are so many things to do."
"Even compared to the civil war, we have to accomplish many times more things!"
He longed to build a powerful empire on this land and realize his ambitions, but he was also worried about whether the rule of the Fisher family could be maintained for a long time.
Darren knew that he had a great responsibility and mission, and he had to make the right decision to lead the Fisher family and the Dawn Cult into a new era.
He took a deep breath, looked into the distance, and murmured to himself.
"Great Lord of the Lost, please protect us with your power and continue to move forward."
"The Fisher family swears to you that it will build Siat into your kingdom of God on earth, so that the sad and ignorant people can recognize the truth of the false gods and regard you as the only true God from the bottom of their hearts!"
