THE FIGHT TO BE KING
CHAPTER 255: MASSIVE ARRESTS
The capital of Azeroth Kingdom, there is a quite luxurious villa residence with over 2000 elite guards on guard around the villa.
In the royal capital, no matter how great their status was, no one could make a palace except for the king in the capital. However, the palace in the capital is owned by the king, if there are others who have a palace in the royal capital, it is the same as challenging the power of the king.
Therefore no matter how powerful and powerful someone was in Azeroth Kingdom, they did not dare to build a palace in the capital unless they were prepared to lose their head and be imprisoned as rebels.
Whenever anyone passed by this luxurious villa, they would stare at him in awe but did not dare to stay for too long for fear of being captured by the villa guards as a result of being considered a spy.
This large villa was nothing but the residence of General Hanto, the great general who had the highest military power in the Kingdom of Azeroth and only under the king. Both General Limo, General Rifu and General Verlan, they were all still under Hanto.
In addition to commanding all military forces, Hanto himself formed 200,000 elite troops under him.
As a man capable of sitting in the position of great general on par with the prime minister, Hanto had accompanied King Azeroth V to fight before he became king.
But why did Hanto decide to side with the 7th prince? The reason Hanto felt that King Azeroth V was declining due to old age, he could not even choose the right prince as the next king.
According to Hanto, in terms of ability and expertise, the 7th prince was far above the 10th prince. So he decided to side with the 7th prince, he was not loyal to death like the prime minister but chose the party he considered to have the most possibility of winning the throne of the next king, not in favor of the future king chosen by King Azeroth V.
At the moment Hanto was walking around in circles in the villa living room, his always firm and unchanging face was now filled with worry.
These few days, Hanto felt a bad feeling. Although the king fell ill which meant that the 7th prince's chance of becoming the next king was nearing its arrival, but Hanto could not be at all happy unless he had a big bad feeling as if he was soon dead.
"What's really going on? King Azeroth V should be dead soon and it's time for me to shine to help the 7th prince seize the capital, but why do I keep worrying?", muttered Hanto who kept walking around his room "No, I have repeatedly avoided the life and death crisis of believing the bad premonition I had while on the battlefield. I don't know what will happen, but I have to escape the capital as quickly as possible! Although the 7th prince's plan will fail and I may be punished, there is no harm in being careful! Not to mention the premonition that I have had so many times helping me on the battlefield, I must immediately give the 7th prince a letter regarding myself leaving the capital".
As Hanto planned to go to his study room to write a letter to the 7th prince, he heard the cries of the soldiers in front of his village "Who are you? Don't you know whose residence this is? This villa is the residence of the great General-Wait, aaaaa!".
Shouts of pain rang out from his soldiers guarding the front door of his villa. Not stopping there, the sound of fighting continued to be heard from the guards who were in the hallways of the villa.
Hearing all the cries around, Hanto knew the bad premonition he had recently felt was right. He did not know what was going on right now, but there was only 1 idea in Hanto's head: escape.
He had to leave the villa and go to the barracks where his 200,000 elite soldiers were waiting, as long as he arrived at the barracks, no one would be able to stop him because there was the protection of 200,000 loyal elite soldiers.
When Hanto, he had just planned to escape through the window because the front door of the villa must have been surrounded.
Hanto smiled mockingly at the words of the soldier just now "You think I'm stupid? If I get caught, I'll be put to death! I had a bad feeling lately, as it turned out that my old friend, King Azeroth V decided to clean me up first. But don't think you can catch me so easily!".
After shouting, Hanto jumped from his window.
The hundreds of soldiers who besieged Hanto were shocked, they never thought Hanto would be so resolute as to successfully escape the "Pursuit! Don't let him go!".
Hanto continued to run without caring for the screams behind him, he did not pass through the villa gate because the enemy was definitely waiting there.
So Hanto jumped through the fence on the right side of the villa. If anyone sees Hanto now they must be surprised, however Hanto is a great general of the Kingdom of Azeroth, but he jumps over the fence of a high house like a thief.
But as he jumped the fence and landed on the ground, Hanto's face froze as thousands of soldiers stood in front of him while aiming spears.
Looking at the numerous warriors around him, Hanto smiled bitterly "Since the beginning I had no chance of escape, the entire villa has really been besieged. Who did this? Is General Limo?".
"General Hanto, surrender! As long as you surrender and let us capture you, the king may grant you leniency", the Limo figure emerges from behind the thousands of troops besieging Hanto.
As Hanto's subordinate general, Limo knows how devious and intelligent Hanto is.
At least Hanto sat in the position of a great general not without reason but he really has the ability, because of this Limo let all his elite troops besiege Hanto villa without the slightest gap for him to escape.
Hundreds of elite Limo warriors have surrounded Hanto's villa.
"You think I'm stupid? His highness must have known I was siding with the 7th prince, so he decided to kill myself", Hanto took a bottle of liquid from his pouch and said again "Tell your majesty, until the end, Hanto, he is still a great king! For the 10th prince, he acted unhesitatingly clearing out all the traitors in the kingdom, I have always admired the decisiveness and courage he has!".
"No! Stop General Hanto!", shouted Limo who rushed forward.
But Hanto drank the bottle of poison in his hand without hesitation, Hanto's skin immediately turned white and his body fell weakly to the ground with no signs of life again.
The Great General of Azeroth Kingdom who had been sitting in his position for decades, finally breathed his last in the Royal Capital of Azeroth without a chance to use his 200,000 elite troops in the slightest.
