Chapter 725 - The Pleas of Vice-Captain Hansen and the Others!
Chapter 725: The Pleas of Vice-Captain Hansen and the Others!
Captain Nair made up his mind.
He knew that even if he agreed to Joelson, he would not be able to sit on the throne safely.
Compared to Joelson, Captain Nair was too inferior. If he became the king of the underground city, then all the residents of the underground city would not agree to this result, they would all question the legitimacy of Nair on the throne, the captain of the guards!
If he wanted to hold on to this position, he could only be like the old King Leighton and the Iron-Blooded King Reynolds. He could launch a bloody campaign to purge the underground city and force everyone to submit to him!
Nair, the captain of the guards, knew in his heart that he would definitely not be able to do such a thing calmly.
The captain of the guards, King Leighton, and the Iron-Blooded King Reynolds both yearned for this position, but there was still a world of difference between them.
The poor captain of the guards, Nair, understood the feelings of the people at the bottom very well, so he would definitely not do such a cruel thing.
Moreover, even if the captain of the guards really stabilized his throne, what could he do?
He could only lead the underground city and continue to be muddle-headed. He would continue to sleep in this unknown little local chronicles and continue to become the next Iron-Blooded King Reynolds. He would become an ordinary person in the history of the underground city, a very common and run-of-the-mill person.
However, Joelson was different.
Joelson was completely different from the captain of the guards, who did not know where he could lead the underground city!
Joelson had the ability to lead the underground city out of this Wailing Abyss!
If such a powerful Joelson became the king of the underground city, then Captain Nair was very sure that Joelson would definitely be able to lead the underground city out of this terrible Wailing Abyss, out of this poor land of extreme ice!
Captain Nair felt a wave of certainty in his heart. This was a definite thing!
If that was the case, then Captain Nair could feel relieved in his heart.
Compared to those people who yearned for boring power and status by themselves, it was obvious that letting the underground city out of this impoverished place was even greater and more important!
This was a glorious feat that would leave a lasting mark on their descendants!
If Joelson became their king and led them out of this barren land, their generation of underground city people would be remembered by future generations!
Not to mention, after they got out of the underground city and reached the underworld, with Joelson’s talent, he could lead them to expand their territory and leave their names in history!
With such a powerful Joelson as the leader of the king, it would not take long for the underground city to become a powerful country in the underworld that everyone had to respect and fear!
After weighing the pros and cons, Captain Nair naturally understood which was the better choice for him and the underground city!
Captain Nair could not accept the position of the King!
Not only for his own sake but also for the sake of the entire underground city!
Although Joelson directly announced this sad decision to all the residents of the underground city, as long as Captain Nair moved his mouth and touched his lips, the position of the underground city’s king would be his.
However, the captain of the guards still resolutely knelt on the ground and sincerely spoke again:
“Sir Joelson, please take back your order. The underground city needs you!”
The captain of the guards said sincerely. He climbed a few steps forward and came in front of Joelson’s heel. He pleaded.
When Joelson heard that the captain of the guards, Nair, was still unwilling to give up on the idea of making him the king of the underground city, he couldn’t help but sigh deeply.
“Sigh.”
The captain of the guards, Nair, sighed. He really couldn’t accept the captain of the guards, Nair’s pleas.
Joelson’s ambition wasn’t in this small underground city. Compared to this small underground city, with the dragon god’s pasture system, his ambition was even further away.
The fragments of the death artifact, the dragon eggs of the death demon dragon, and the even more powerful and mysterious higher planes.
All of these were more attractive than becoming the king of an underground city.
Even if Joelson had no ambition at all and accepted becoming the king of this place to live a slow retirement life, he probably wouldn’t be able to agree to this unambitious idea of his. Even the dragons under him would not agree with his decadent idea!
That’s right, with Joelson’s ambition, he would never be able to be a king in such a small country. This was no different from starting a retirement life in his prime.
Therefore, no matter how bitter the Guard Captain Nair was in his heart, no matter how sincere his request was, it was impossible for Joelson to choose to accept the other party’s proposal.
He was willing because it was simply impossible for Joelson to waste too much of his youth in such a small place.
However, looking at Captain Nair’s sincere invitation to stay, Joelson was still troubled.
Captain Nelson’s sincerity was truly moving.
However, just as Joelson was hesitating…
Beside him, Vice-Captain Hansen’s face was also pale, his expression constantly changing.
Vice-Captain Hansen’s gaze was very complicated as he looked at Captain Nair, who was kneeling on the ground.
Vice-Captain Hansen naturally knew what his long-time friend was thinking.
To the vice-captain of the guards, wasn’t he the same?
Hansen had been the vice-captain of the guards for countless years. The temptation to control the military power in the underground city was not small!
In fact, the temptation was even greater than the desire of the captain of the guards, Nair, for the king!
Having been the vice-captain of the guards for countless years, Hansen knew very well how much he wanted to be promoted!
As if the dry land was thirsty for the rain, the vice-captain had been waiting for this promotion for so many years!
However, what made Hansen feel complicated was that the vice-captain didn’t want to accept the order that Joelson gave him to control the entire underground city.
Not only did he not want to accept it but he also could not accept it!
Because once he accepted Joelson’s order, it meant that the underground city would lose Joelson forever!
