Doomsday Code

Chapter 825 Return

"call."

"Hey, we found His Majesty and the others. We found His Majesty and the others."

An old man with his upper body bare waved the clothes in his hands and shouted towards the city wall.

"Old man, please go slowly. Sheli, go and support him and give him some water."

Chen Cheng, who was behind him, waved his hand.

During the time when Chen Cheng and the other man disappeared, a lot of things happened in the city.

After Chen Cheng left, Doyle directly summoned all the remaining people in the city, and then told them about Chen Cheng's identity and what happened in the outside world.

At first, no one believed Doyle, not even those who were once super criminals.

Although they hated the empire in their hearts, they also did not believe that the empire would be destroyed.

Because in their perception, this is something that cannot happen.

The empire was so powerful, possessing more than half of the demigod-level masters in the entire continent and the five most powerful legions in the world. Elves and dragons from all over the world prostrated themselves at the feet of the empire. At the same time, countless people worshipped and loved the empire. How could the empire just disappear like this?

It can be said that after Doyle said this, most of the remaining veterans still missed their homeland, while the criminals who had been released from prison could not accept all this and almost fought with Doyle and others.

In their hearts, they believed that after they had served their sentences and left here, they would become upright citizens of the empire. However, in order to wash away their sins and become citizens of the empire, they had stayed here day and night for hundreds of years.

From a handsome young man, he turned into an old man with missing teeth and falling hair.

And now you tell them that the empire they longed for no longer exists and their one hundred years of loneliness has become a joke. How can they accept this?

It can be said that after suppressing their anger towards Doyle, they suddenly hated the rebellious kingdoms and forces in their hearts.

And this hatred is even more intense than that of Doyle and the others.

Because it was these traitors who destroyed the empire and shattered their hundreds of years of perseverance.

Then, as soon as the monsoon stopped, they all scattered and began to look for Chen Cheng and the other man in the desert.

The first was to confirm Doyle's words, and the second was that after confirmation, they would support Chen Cheng and support him in returning to restore the country.

And human nature is so wonderful.

They were arrested by the empire for crimes and then brought here for forced labor. After hearing that the empire was destroyed, they were not ecstatic, but wanted to restore their country.

However, those kingdoms and forces that had enjoyed the emperor's favor for generations became the culprits of the empire's destruction, and they spared no effort to hunt down the empire's orphans.

Hearing the old man's call, everyone, whether they were veterans or criminals, immediately ran out of the city.

Seeing these old men staring at him, Chen Cheng suddenly became nervous.

"Well, everyone, let's go into the city first and call back everyone else who's out."

After hearing Chen Cheng's words, the old men made way for him.

Chen Cheng carefully walked through them and then headed towards the city.

At this moment, an old soldier finally spoke.

"Are you His Majesty?"

It was just such a question that all the old men looked at him eagerly, waiting for his answer.

Chen Cheng also stopped and turned to look at them.

Seeing that their faces and eyes were filled with the same sadness and excitement as Doyle's at that time, Chen Cheng drew the King's Sword from his waist, stood straight, folded his hands, rested his palms on the hilt, and leaned on the ground with the tip of the sword.

"I am your Majesty."

After Chen Cheng said this, he was not greeted with thunderous applause, but with the sound of countless old men crying on the ground.

Listening to their crying, Chen Cheng's heart was trembling, but his body remained motionless, he just lowered his head silently.

Because he wanted to give them hope, let them see that although the new emperor had lost his country, his body was still upright, and he still had the confidence to lead them to achieve the great cause of restoring the country.

And when he lowered his head, it was because he felt guilty towards these veterans and old men.

"I see your Majesty."

"I see your Majesty."

Then, one after another, some people stopped crying. They wiped their tears and paid their respects to Chen Cheng who bowed his head.

Such a visit also means that they recognize Chen Cheng's status as emperor, and are willing to follow Chen Cheng to realize the dream of restoring the country.

Perhaps they are too old to lift a sword, but they can train soldiers for Chen Cheng. They may not see the day of national restoration, but the soldiers they train will definitely participate in the battle for national restoration.

Doyle also jumped over the city wall at this time.

"His Majesty."

Chen Cheng raised the King's Sword in his hand, looked at everyone with a firm gaze and said:

"I, Brown Hopps, hereby swear that I will restore the glory of the Empire in my lifetime."

"Restore the glory of the empire."

"Restore the glory of the empire."

Immediately everyone followed him in shouting.

Looking at the determined looks in the eyes of these old soldiers, Chen Cheng felt not only happy but also guilty.

Although there were seed coaches for training soldiers, they were all too old, and he still wanted them to train new recruits. The petty-people thinking in Chen Cheng's heart affected his inner world, making him feel that he was very conscienceless and a good-for-nothing.

Maybe he really is just like what Squidward said, a heartless guy.

All those who had dispersed to look for Chen Cheng were called back, and then the city began to formally prepare for battle.

Everything that could help restore the country was dismantled, then packed into Chen Cheng's space ring and taken away.

Especially those who died here and left behind urns, Chen Cheng carefully collected them all separately.

He wanted to take these people's ashes and bring them back to see the place.

If the day ever comes when the country is restored, they might return here when the desert project is restarted. This time, they can watch as their ideal of the desert turning into a water town is gradually realized.

And this busy work lasted until the next day.

The temperature in the desert is still very low in the morning, which is just right for traveling.

A group of hundreds of people, led by Chen Cheng, began their journey home.

There were thousands of them when they came, but when they left, only they were left with gray hair.

They took one last look at the desert city where they had lived for hundreds of years from outside the city, then packed their bags and left without hesitation.

"Goodbye Oasis City."

Doyle and others said silently in their hearts.

As the team leaders, Chen Cheng and Sheli walked at the front of the team. After leaving Oasis City, the next test was for Chen Cheng. He needed to bring these old seniors back safely.

Fortunately, there were enough magic crystals left by the lich, so they were not short of water. As for food, they had some of the remaining food from Chen Cheng and the food they had collected in the oasis before, so they were not short of food for the time being.

The only variable is the old soldiers behind, whether they can endure the hardship of the long journey.

Another thing is whether there will be sudden monsoons and other situations in the desert like before.
