Edge of the Apocalypse

Chapter 1542: Succession Ceremony 2

"That's the head of the Demon Dragon Clan, Bi Manfu, an arrogant old bastard." Lamar introduced Alan in a soft voice and gave the old man an explanation. Then he raised his voice and said, "Lord Beaman, why do you think so? Are you questioning His Majesty's judgment?"

Bimanff's voice was like thunder as he said forcefully, "If His Majesty Sbernak had announced this personally, I naturally wouldn't have any objections. However, just a single image is too unconvincing. How would I know that this image was not forged by you? Perhaps it was your Ramo plotting against the human on the throne."

'"Oh," Lamar said gloomily, "General Devlin was there when His Majesty Spenak left this image. Do you think General Devlin would be involved in our business?"

Everyone in the empire knew what kind of person Devlin was. That murderous woman would never do such a thing. If it was true that Ramo and Alan were plotting to seize the throne, Devlin would definitely be the first to object. On the other hand, since Devlin hadn't made a sound until now, it was very likely that this matter was true. Moreover, he only had a little brains and didn't think that Lamo had the guts to fake Spenak's image. Even though the Demon King was nowhere to be found, Spenak was so powerful that even if Ramo was bold, he would never dare to do so.

"If that's the case, then I'll ask General Devlin to come out and explain. But I don't think the general is here. Could it be that something has happened to her?"

Lamo was about to say something when he suddenly felt the energy behind him surge. He immediately swallowed the words that had reached his mouth. Everyone in the hall looked at the figure on the throne. Even Bi Manfu, who had a strong attitude, couldn't help but lick his lips nervously. Allen rose from his seat to stand upright. The change in his posture also brought about a change in his aura. Perhaps everyone in the hall didn't notice anything before, but when Alan stood up, everyone felt that the light in the Dark Shadow Hall had suddenly dimmed a little, and there seemed to be a huge shadow pressing down from the throne. It was as if Sbernak had personally come!

After witnessing the battle between the two Sovereigns on Evernight Star, even though it hadn't brought Allen any substantial improvement, the domineering aura of the Sovereign's attack that caused Feng Yun's expression to change had already been tainted by three points. At this moment, with the surge of Qi, it was naturally released, and it had the might of a Demon King. Moreover, he was wearing the Demon King Armor, which naturally gave everyone in the hall an illusion. When Allen stood upright, the braziers on both sides of the throne platform spat out fire pillars, giving him even more might. Under the flames, Ellen, whose eyes were only visible under the black helmet, said in a deep voice, "How many people have the same thoughts as Bimanff? Why don't you all stand up?"

Bimanff's heart skipped a beat. Before he came, he had already thought of several ways to deal with it, but he hadn't expected Alan to be so strong. Bi Manfu didn't expect that he would directly skip the process of presenting evidence and force them to show their cards right here. Now that things had come to this point, Bimanff could not get off the horse. If he retreated, he would definitely be shameless. But if he showed his cards to Alan, there would be no turning point. All of a sudden, the situation in Beaman's Hall was overwhelmed by Alan's simple words.

Behind Bi Manfu, a dozen or so people looked at each other until the Demon Dragon Clan's Clan Master snorted softly, "You don't want to retreat at this moment, do you?" Those people bravely stepped forward and stood in line with Bimanff. To Bimanff's surprise, the Thunderwolf Family's Barfari suddenly knelt down and lowered his head towards the platform. "The Thunderwolf Family is willing to serve His Majesty Allen as their master and will never betray him for generations to come!"

Bimanff, trembling with anger, pointed at Bavarre and shouted, "You", but could not utter a single word. He did not know that Bavarre was already afraid when Alan stood up. Allen remained calm again, and it seemed to him that a third of his momentum had fallen on Barfari. The Thunderwolf Clan had already tasted Alan's lightning methods before, but now that Alan was exerting pressure, Barfari, who was already wavering, finally lost the courage to fight Alan. He turned his back on Alan and made a fool of Bimanf.

Ellen waved his hand and asked Barfari to stand aside. At this moment, the people kneeling in the hall also subconsciously left Bimanff and the others. As such, Bi Manfu and the others felt as if they had been isolated. The Demon Dragon Clan's Clan Master gradually felt a sense of unease in his heart. Alan began to walk down the platform. Every step he took, the iron boots under his feet would make an accent on the stairs. The sound of Allen's footsteps made their hearts skip a beat, as if they were knocking on the hearts of Bimanff and the others.

Standing on the last step, Ellen's gaze fell on Bimanff, and then he began to move on the face. "Black Ice Clan's Clan Master Geron, Red Flame Clan's Clan Master Barrow, and you, Jerah, Caleto..."

Names came out of Allen's mouth one by one. When he mentioned his name, everyone who was named was shocked. The terrible feeling in Bimanff's heart grew stronger and stronger. Alan had not reported anything wrong, and he knew their names like a family treasure. This meant that Alan had already figured out their identities, making Bimanff and the others feel as if they were facing Alan naked.

Until this moment, Allen still took the initiative. He knew Bimanff and the others like the back of his hand, but Bimanff didn't know what Alan was going to do next.

Allen paused for a moment and whispered, "Apart from the Thunderwolf Family, the other three families gathered a family army of about two thousand men each long before I arrived in Demoic Ring City. They secretly sent them into Demoic Ring City and scattered them under their respective families' property. It was a good way to break them into pieces." Apart from that, you have also gathered our clan and external experts. There are a total of twelve of them. "There are three of them who are comparable in combat strength to the general. Am I right?"

Bimanff's expression changed again. He asked himself if the arrangements were flawless and had been made before Alan arrived in Demoic Ring City. Alan had only arrived yesterday, so how could he have known about his arrangements so quickly? At this time, Lamo laughed dryly, "Lord Bimanff, don't underestimate our Shadow Army."

'"Even if the three great families are all powerful figures in Demoic Ring City, it would not be easy for them to do so in the imperial capital, not even for Bimanff and the other three of you, so there must be someone secretly helping out. For example, Caleto, who is in charge of the city's defense?" Allen added.

A man behind Biemann suddenly rushed out and knelt on the ground, shouting, "Your Majesty! It's none of my business. Biemann threatened me, Your Majesty!"

This person was the City Guard Chief, Kaletto. Seeing his actions, Bimanff simply closed his eyes. Kaleto knelt down, and seven or eight people knelt down behind Bimanff. All of them were important officials in Demoic Ring City. It was precisely because of their cover that Bimanff's troops and experts were able to enter the city quietly.

Right now, there were only three Patriarchs still standing.

Ellen looked coldly at them and said, "I think you all know why the three of you gathered troops and recruited experts. You only wanted to take this opportunity to stir up trouble and even kill me, the usurper, to divide up the empire. Am I right? If His Majesty Sbernak were here, I wonder what would happen to these acts of splitting the empire?"

Biemann's body trembled. He opened his eyes again and looked at Ellen, "Could it be "

'"That's right. Didn't you see Devlin just now? Let me tell you where she went. General Devlin has already gone to your clan. Perhaps the expert you hired at a high price has been killed by our General Saber Demon." Alan looked at the other two Patriarchs and said, "Of course, you are no exception. The moment you stepped into the Shadow Hall, the crackdown on the Four Great Families had already begun."

Then he looked at Barfari and said, "You are very lucky that you made the right choice at the critical moment. Thus, from today onwards, only the Thunderwolf Clan will be in Demoic Ring City. The Demonic Dragon Clan, Black Ice Clan and Red Flame Clan will be expelled immediately!"

Bimanff couldn't help but roar and smash into Alan. The Origin Energy continued to open up, and a dark purple light emitted from the tall old man's body. His entire body smashed towards Alan like a meteor. Alan raised his arm, his index finger clasped to his thumb, and then flicked it gently. A dark red ray of light pierced through the air, sinking into Bimanff's body and flashing out from behind him.

Bimanff's speed immediately slowed down, and the radiance of Origin Energy on his body also scattered. He took another two steps and stopped in front of the platform. First, a blood line appeared on his forehead, and then the blood line extended downwards, separating him from the center. In the next moment, Bimanff dislocated from left to right, turning into two corpses lying at Ellen's feet.

Seeing Bimanfu end up like this, the other two families' faces turned ashen and they lost their will to resist. Ramo winked, then Ganli and the other generals stood up and walked over to bring the two Patriarchs out of the hall.

Alan turned around, walked up the platform again, and sat on the throne. Lamar took a deep breath and shouted, "Following His Majesty's will, I hereby declare that Alan Beskard will succeed me as the second emperor of Demonic Shadow Empire!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Barfari was the first to shout "Your Majesty," and all the officials in the hall shouted in unison. At this point, the overall situation had been decided!

Today, Demoic Ring City is destined not to be calm. Not only did Alan send Devlin, he also sent Twilight and White to suppress the other two families. Although Biemann had invited quite a few experts, including generals, Devlin and the others weren't vegetarians. Especially the number one general of the empire, Devlin had killed two super experts one by one.

The flames and explosions in Demoic Ring City had not stopped since the morning, and it was not until the afternoon that the war, which was confined to the three great clans' inheritances, came to an end. After this battle, there was only one Thunderwolf Clan left in Demoic Ring City, and the other three clans were wiped out. Of course, these three clans were deeply rooted in the empire, and only the clan's inheritance in the capital was removed. After the capital, there were still some branches and leaves of these clans, but once the big tree fell, the remaining branches and leaves would also wither away sooner or later.
