Chapter 207: The Fallen Kingdom
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Hearing this, Li Cheng raised his eyebrows. He could now confirm that this old man in front of him was the founding monarch of the Kingdom of Kent, and he seemed to have made his fortune by fighting against the Zergs back then.
This secret realm was probably set up by him to replicate the past. To be able to destroy so many Zerg nests in an hour showed that he was also an expert, especially when Li Cheng saw the attributes of the last Zerg nest.
However, the man standing in front of him was only a soul whose strength was only Gold grade, so he posed no threat to Li Cheng. In addition, Li Cheng had the blessing of the Goddess of Death, so he could be said to be the nemesis of soul bodies.
Looking at Li Cheng, the old man in front of him sighed and said, “What about the current human race? What about the insect race?”
Li Cheng thought for a moment, wondering if he should explain it to him or not. However, when he thought of this man in front of him, who was a hero who had done his best for the human race, he said, “The Zergs have been driven away by the efforts of the nine great divine halls. As for where they went, I don’t know. At least on the surface, there are no traces of them. They can only hide in the dark.
“As for the human race… They are currently occupying the lost continent. Although wars have been going on for hundreds of years, the scale of their overall strength and territories are constantly expanding.”
“Good, good, good!” Hearing Li Cheng’s words, a trace of relief appeared on the old king’s weathered face. He then asked, “Is the Kingdom of Kent still there?”
Li Cheng nodded. “Of course, it’s still there. But since the death of the previous king, the two princes have been causing a lot of trouble in order to compete for the throne.”
There was no change on old king Hindley’s face. Was it not normal for the royal family to compete for the throne?
He did not think it was a bad thing. It was just the normal evolution of the human kingdom. He was afraid that every king would have no way to ascend the throne unless they fought for it. He was happy to see the capable ones take the throne.
However, Li Cheng’s next words completely broke the old king’s defense. “However, one of the princes colluded with the Zerg.”
“What?!” The eyes of old king Hindley instantly widened and his face was full of disbelief. Then, he took a few deep breaths and asked in a deep voice, “What exactly happened?”
Li Cheng cut to the chase and explained it to him simply, “The first prince colluded with the Gods of the evil forces. In order to fight against him, the second prince found the Zergs lurking underground.”
The corner of old king Hindley’s mouth twitched. He did not know where to hide his shame in front of Li Cheng.
He was speechless. He was born in the Church of Light and it was a well-known mission in the history of the good camp, a glorious and positive mission.
However, these two descendants, one colluded with the evil forces, and the other even colluded with the enemies of the entire main plane. Were they really his descendants?
When he thought of this, old king Hindley wanted to raise his sword and kill those two useless descendants at that moment. When he thought of his current state, he sighed deeply and said, “Young man, if the Kingdom of Kent has already fallen to such a state, there’s no need for it to exist anymore. Please, put an end to these two unfilial descendants.”
As soon as old king Hindley finished speaking, the system notification rang in Li Cheng’s ear.
“Ding, dong! Hindley Pley has sent you an SSS-class quest, fallen kingdom. Do you accept?”
[Fallen kingdom (SSS)]
[Quest description: Hindley Pley requests you to kill the two fallen princes. As for what will happen to the Kingdom of Kent after that is beyond his grasp. ]
[Mission difficulty: 800 million]
[Mission type: only hidden]
[Mission content: kill the first and second prince]
[Mission duration: None]
[Mission Reward: None]
..
Hearing the system notification, Li Cheng was stunned. He had never expected the old king to believe him.
However, he was relieved. On his chest, there was a Duke’s Medal of the Church of Light. In the entire history of the lost continent, there were only seven of them, and he was the only one that was still alive.
It was so shiny that people could not look at it directly. They had to wear sunglasses just to catch a glimpse of it!
In addition, the old king was also a member of the Church of Light. So, when he saw a Duke of the Church of Light, there was no reason for him not to believe his words, even if it was the first time they met.
Reading the mission details, Li Cheng was surprised that there was no reward. Nevertheless, he still planned to complete the king’s final request.
Moreover, killing two princes was a joyous occasion for him. Thinking of this, Li Cheng accepted the mission without hesitation.
He was worried that he would not have a reason to send his troops to the Kingdom of Kent. He never expected to meet the old king during that military trial. It was as if someone gave him exactly what he needed.
At this moment, the old king’s voice was heard again, “These are the resources left behind by me when I fought against the Zergs. If they’re useful to you, you can take them.”
As soon as the old king’s voice fell, the system’s notification rang in Li Cheng’s ears again.
“Ding, dong! You’ve triggered a ten thousand times increase and received a hundred thousand Mythical-grade special bombs!”
..
As soon as the system’s voice fell, a long sigh followed. The old king’s body gradually expanded in all directions before turning into countless golden orbs of energy.
Seeing the old king disappear, Li Cheng was silent for a few seconds. He did not think too much about it and looked at the reward he got.
In his backpack, there were countless small balls of nine colors.
[Special bomb (Mythical)]
[Description: The bombs specially made by the nine temples to fight against the Zergs. They are fused with a trace of the divine powers of the nine Gods. It has such a strong destructive power against the Zergs.]
L[evel: 1]

[Grade: Mythical]
[Effect: Causes 20,000,000 damage to the surrounding 200 yards. The damage caused to the Zergs is increased by 100,000 times.]
…
Looking at the attributes of the bomb, Li Cheng nodded. The effect was not bad.
Although the damage was not too high for ordinary soldiers, it had a great destructive power against the Zergs.

Li Cheng knew that the Zergs were actually lurking underground and their strength was still very terrifying. These bombs would naturally come in handy in the future.
At this point, the trial was finally over. Li Cheng casually picked up the loot dropped by the various bosses.
“Ding, dong! You’ve triggered a ten thousand times increase and obtained one hundred thousand shellacs!
“Ding, dong! You’ve triggered a ten thousand times increase and obtained two hundred thousand shellacs!
“Ding, dong!”
