Arc 3.21 [Chapter 56]
Christian burst out of the boundary and threw the young dragon in his arms hard to the ground, threatening, "One more scream and I'll kill you now."
The young dragon cowered and stopped screaming.
Christian had taken advantage of the chaos to enter the Dragon King's chambers, and had found the dragon magic collection in a hidden compartment.
Christian couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and all he could think of was, "What a right time and a right place."
The dragons had been lured out, and he had been lucky enough to find a book of magic at the drop of a hat. He flipped through the book of magic, but found that all the words in the book were in dragon language, and he did not know any of them.
So he grabbed a young dragon, just 200 years old, and took it into his hands.
The young dragon had just transformed and was extremely weak, and although it struggled desperately, it was easily caught by Christian.
With all the turmoil in the area, a young dragon missing would not be noticed. The dragons would only think it had been killed or disappeared in the war and would not notice anything else.
In order to prevent the dragons from detecting the screams of the young dragon, Christian used a silence spell.
The silence spell means that he is surrounded by a silent zone where no sound can go out, but at the same time, no sound can be made. As a result, he missed Bai Lixin's repeated revelations.
Christian used the invisibility spell to hide his form and that of the young dragon and touched the edge of the boundary.
Before he left, Christian looked up at the sky again, just in time to see Bai Lixin "fall" from the black dragon's head. At the same time, a black dragon flew even further towards Bai Lixin.
Christian laughed in ecstasy at the sight, "Let's see if you don't die this way."
He wanted to make sure that Bai Lixin was dead, but the young dragon in his arms was making a lot of noise and even gnawing at his wrist with its fangs. In pain, Christian dared not stay any longer, so he used the dragon to open the boundary and get out.
As soon as he was out of the boundary, Christian lifted the invisibility and silence magic and dropped the hatchling to the ground, threatening its life.
At that moment, Christian suddenly felt a murderous aura appear behind him, and he rushed to the side.
Just after Christian jumped up, the ground where he had just been standing had become a meter deep pit.
Christian looked at the person who came and instantly sneered, "Hillman, it's you! Thank you so much for this time. "
Hillman gritted his teeth and glared angrily at the man who was both beautiful and sinister, "You liar."
"Who told you to be gullible?" Christian gracefully brushed his sun-like obsidian hair with one hand and grabbed both wings of the young dragon in the other, saying, "You should be grateful that I gave you a free lesson and didn't charge you for it."
Hillman was so angry that he wanted to chew the treacherous man up in his mouth.
Christian saw his movement and quickly raised the small dragon in his hand to his chest, "Come on, by all means, make its death painful."
The silver-haired man's sharp claws that were about to reach out came to a screeching halt!
Christian threw back his head and laughed.
So what if the dragon was powerful?
Wasn't he still playing with them? He could easily use their hearts in the right way.
Christian laughed wildly, his eyes tinged with contempt and malice. There was no trace of holiness like before. His face was like an evil ghost in an oriental picture scroll.
"If you are so energetic, you might as well worry use that energy 5o worry your dear Princess Sophia's kingdom of Sena, which I will raze to the ground if you dare to oppose me again!"
He held up the young dragon, laughing as he got into the carriage that had been parked to one side and left in place by Bai Lixin.
A white mist floated up at the foot of the carriage, and at once it turned into a white light and disappeared before Hillman's eyes.
When Hillman saw Christian disappear, he did not stay long. He was in a hurry to get back to Sena to ensure the safety of Princess Sophia.
With a flourish of his arms, Hillman transformed himself into a beautiful, long silver dragon and flew off on his wings in the direction of the Sena kingdom.
After they were all gone, six men appeared out of nowhere in the empty desert. It was none other than the six men, including Chief Priest Kenny.
During the battle between the Golden Dragon and the Black Dragon, the ground continued to tremble, and the cave they were in could not be saved at all.
One dragon and six people then fled from the cave in a blaze of glory, and they listened to Bai Lixin's words of holding accountability to the bottom of their hearts.
Then the dragons began another civil war among themselves, and the six men rushed to follow Hillman and escape from the dragon territory before the ground shook again.
After this, they never wanted to come back to the Dragon territory again.
The dragons were too powerful, and although they had only spent a short time at the edge of the boundary, it was a terrifying experience that they would not want to remember for the rest of their lives.
All six walked slowly, not knowing what to say.
After a long time, Chief Priest Kenny clenched his fist and said, "I didn't think Christian would be such a person."
The other five were all lost in thought. They had worshipped the High Priest as a god since they were young. They considered him as their spiritual pillar and role model.
But today, their faith had collapsed and the image of their role model had been destroyed.
Several people felt as if their bodies had been emptied of energy, and even their future was uncertain.
"No matter what, let's go back to the Saron Empire," the leader of the search party said, lost in thought. "My men are still imprisoned in the castle and I can't leave them behind."
Chief Kenny nodded, "Fine, we'll see what happens then. Let's go back first."
Several men then got into the carriage they had left here and headed for the Saron Empire.
......................
In the Saron Empire, Christian hid his young dragon in the hem of his broad sleeve, got out of the carriage, and went straight to his chambers.
After closing the doors behind him, Christian hurriedly carried the young dragon into the dungeon that was connected to his chambers, and locked it into a magical formation.
The metal was as crisp as an apple to the dragons, and a dungeon could not hold them, only a magic array could.
As soon as the young dragon's body was free, it opened its fangs to lunge at Christian, but as soon as its tiny body was halfway up, the magic formation sprang into action, sending a translucent pale blue barrier back at it.
The hatchling groaned as it was electrocuted.
Christian sneered, "This is my territory, no one will come to your rescue even if you scream your head off. As long as you behave, I will not kill you and will even treat you well. "
The young dragon slumped to the ground, its pupils glaring at Christian, who, upon seeing that the young dragon was not cooperating, grunted, "Suit yourself!"
And with that, he turned his head away with a flip of his sleeve.
When General Kapler heard that Christian was the only one returning home, he hurried over in a frenzy.
As soon as he saw Christian, he asked sharply, "Your Highness, where is His Majesty? You went together, so why are you the only one who has returned? "
With a sad expression on his face and tears in his eyes, Christian choked out, "His Majesty, he was killed."
Kapler's eyes widened and he took two steps back in disbelief, "Killed? How is that possible? Didn't he have the Black Dragon with him? "
"It was because of the Black Dragon. It turned out that the Black Dragon was a traitor to the Dragon Clan, and as soon as he entered the Dragon Clan's territory, he was attacked by the Dragon King's guards who had poured out. During the attack, His Majesty unfortunately fell off the black dragon and was eaten. "
Hearing the news that his majesty had been eaten by the dragons, Kapler cried out, his eyes red, "No, it's not true, it must not be true!"
Christian let out a long sigh, "General Kapler, people have their sorrows and joys, and I was lucky enough to escape. The country cannot be left without a master. General Kapler, please gather the ministers quickly. We need to get this out in the open. "
General Kapler's eyes were red, but he frowned at Christian's words, "No, I believe His Majesty is not dead, and as long as I do not see His Majesty's bones, I will not acknowledge His Majesty's death. But you, High Priest, of the nine people who went with you on this journey, how is it that you are the only one who has returned unharmed? "
Sadness flashed in Christian's eyes, "I did not want to die there with them, but his Majesty instructed me before he died to return to the Empire and deliver his message."
Still unwilling to believe the news of the emperor's death, Kapler shook his head and rose to his feet with difficulty, saying, "I will not admit that his majesty is dead until I see the bones. Your High Priest, I take my leave. "
Christian secretly gritted his teeth when he saw how stubborn Kapler was.
If you don't summon them, do you think I can't do it?
His lips curled into a sneer, and he said to the priests around him, "Play the national mourning music and gather up the ministers. I have something very important to convey to them."
...............
Hillman flew back to the Sena Kingdom on the wind. So eager was he to know the news of Sophia that he even forgot about his incarnation.
In the castle of the Senna Kingdom, the people stared at the sudden arrival of the huge silver dragon, and one by one, they screamed and ran in all directions to escape.
Only Sophia, in the back garden, looked up at the beautiful silver dragon and put her hands behind her back, smiling and squinting.
Hillman caught sight of Sophia, and with a dive, he flew in her direction, and as he reached the ground, he transformed himself into a handsome young guard.
He grabbed Sophia's shoulders and said hurriedly, "Sophia, listen to my explanation, I have no intention of hurting you."
Sophia grabbed Hillman's wrist and smiled, "Hillman, you look so beautiful when you transform into a dragon, like a floating, flowing cloud."
Not expecting Sophia to praise him instead of being afraid, Hillman was lost in thought for a moment and said in surprise, "You're not afraid of me?"
Sophia asked in return, "You have been guarding me; why should I be afraid of you? I like you more than anything. "
Hearing Sophia's words, joy filled Hillman's chest. The happiness came so suddenly that he could not believe it.
He hugged Sophia tightly, his nose sniffing the fragrance that belonged to her alone.
High above the castle, King Serinon's eyes shone brightly at the sight of his daughter and the dragon embracing each other.
While Sophia fell into the sweet dream of a siesta in the late afternoon, Hillman was called into King Serinon's study.
"Hillman, I didn't expect you to be a dragon." King Serinon said in a deep voice.
Hillman was busy half-kneeling on the floor and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, although I am a dragon, I have never harmed a human. And the only reason I am here is to protect Princess Sophia."
King Serinon looked Hillman up and down, as if to ascertain the truth of his words, and Hillman arched his back nervously, fearing that King Serinon would drive him out of the palace and that he would never see Sophia again in his life.
Only after a long time did King Serinon say, "Yes, I believe in your feelings for Sophia. This morning, when I saw the two of you in a deep embrace, I suddenly felt that I had made a very wrong decision. "
King Serinon sighed, "I should not have rashly made Sophia King Alexander's fiancée. Ah, if I could turn back time, I would have made Sophia your fiancée."
Hillman's eyes lit up with surprise and he asked, "Your Majesty, is it true what you say?"
He nodded, "A gentleman's word is not a joke."
Helliman said excitedly, "Your Majesty, King Alexander went to the Dragon Territory two days ago, and at this moment he is in grave danger."
Just as he finished his sentence, the magic ball on the emperor's desk lit up, and the originally transparent magic ball now showed a picture of the spy that the Sena Kingdom had planted in the Saron Empire.
The spy saluted and then said to King Serinon, "Your Majesty, from the castle came the great mourning music, and I heard that it was King Alexander who had died."
King Serinon's heart fluttered with joy, and he confirmed, "Are you sure?"
The spy nodded affirmatively, "Yes, that music is exactly the kind of mourning music that would be played only if the king were dead."
Arc 3.22 [Chapter 57]
King Serinon's face showed excitement as he turned off his crystal ball after confirming King Alexander's death from his subordinate.
"You were right, Hillman, Alexander is dead!" King Serinon's voice trembled slightly from excitement and said, "Hillman, I think you should know that the reason I made Sophia Alexander's fiancée in the first place was also due to Alexander's power and national strength. But now it's different. Once Alexander dies, the Saron Empire will be in turmoil. If we take this opportunity to attack it, the first empire that has been dominating the whole continent will fall apart in a matter of days."
King Serinon looked at Hillman with a gleam of determination in his eyes and said, "Hillman, if you can turn into a silver dragon and attack the imperial castle of the Saron Empire and take it down in one fell swoop, I will make Sophia your wife!"
Hillman hesitated. It was true that he had nothing good to say about the Saron Empire, but the matter of turning into a dragon to attack a country had never occurred to him.
Seeing his hesitation, King Serinon continued, "I will give you and Sophia a grand wedding. Sophia will be your wedded wife, and she will produce many offspring for you. "
The future with a wife and kids that King Serinon had built for Hillman was too good to be true, and his words were like a deadly and tempting apple, luring Eve's fall.
In the end, Hillman made up his mind and nodded heavily, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will attack the Saron Empire for you, for Sophia, and for the Kingdom of Sena!"
Rather than wait for Christian to attack the Sena Empire, he would rather strike first and kill Christian himself!
In the princess's chambers, Sophia opened her eyes, a cold glint in her sleepless eyes.
In the end, her father was still treating her as a pawn and a prop in his conquest of the continent.
Her father was still the same as before, but she was no longer the same as before. And there was Hillman, only thinking about the many offspring they had not even discussed.
A gentle figure burrowed into Sophia's mind at the thought of all the power she had.
Ansel, are you really dead?
No, it can't be.
Sophia shook her head. Ansel was so strong that even the dragons were not necessarily a match for him, and besides, Lord Di Suo was so strong that he would never, ever let him be in danger.
Sophia sat up from her bed, intending to kill her way straight to the study to take Hillman down.
She was just about to reach the door when she heard a sound from her magic ball.
Sophia's raised hand lurched and turned back to the magic ball in surprise. A familiar figure appeared in the magic ball, a gentle smile on the man's handsome face. Although separated by a magic ball, Sophia felt that he was looking directly at her.
It was Ansel!
Sophia retracted her hand and ran quickly to the magic ball with her skirt in her hand. She picked it up. Her face was covered in ecstasy, "Ansel, it's great that you're alive!"
Bai Lixin laughed, "I'm not only alive, I'm well."
Tears welled up in Sophia's eyes as she nodded and choked back a sob, "It's wonderful that you're okay. Come back soon, Ansel, my father and Hillman, they are planning to attack the Saron Empire! "
Bai Lixin smiled and said soothingly, "Sophia, I came to you to tell you that there is no need to stop it. Just let Hillman go and attack the palace of the Saron Empire. I want him to do it. "
Sophia ran a hand over the corner of her eyes in confusion, "Why is that, Ansel? He will raze your palace to the ground!"
"I do not need a corrupt palace or ministerial body; only by destroying it can it be reborn. If these people recognize me in their hearts as their king, they will naturally not be hurt, but if they defect to Christian, I will naturally not condone it. "
Sophia listened with half-understanding, but she nodded, "Good. But Hillman... will Hillman be all right? "
"Don't worry, I'll return you the silver dragon with all its limbs intact." Bai Lixin smiled narrowly.
"Hmph, Hillman is just too unassertive and easily manipulated. Ansel, you should teach him a lesson! " Sophia stamped her foot harshly in annoyance.
The next day, Christian sent out a summons to all the important ministers, but to his surprise, only half of them came. The other half chose to ignore his orders and went to the side of General Kapler.
When he received this news, Ansel sneered in his heart.
Looking at the chief priests and the other half of the ministers who had surrendered to him at the round table, Christian said, "Alexander was tragically killed in the Dragon Lands. We will always remember his dedication and sacrifice for humanity and for the Saron Empire. "
The ministers agreed, and Christian added: "A king may die, but his country will not be destroyed, but King Alexander did not leave a single son or daughter to the Saron Empire. For the sake of the longevity of the entire Saron Empire, I hope that the ministers will choose a candidate to temporarily assume the position of king and lead us through the sad times. "
"I elect the High Priest to be the next king."
"The High Priest is the right person to be king!"
"High Priest, please also save our country and get it through the hard times!"
As soon as Christian's words were finished, the ministers who were eager to defect scrambled to show their loyalty.
Christian smiled gently and leaned back in the sumptuous seat of the high priest, content to let them express their admiration and praise.
Suddenly, the earth trembled, and the ceiling above them cracked open. Some of the priests looked up through the cracked ceiling and cried out in fear: "A dragon! It's a dragon! "
The crowd erupted in fear.
Christian also saw the silver dragon and spat in his heart as he calmed the crowd, "Don't worry everyone, I'll go and solve it."
Di Suo, he could not defeat, but this young silver dragon was an easy match for him.
With that, Christian took his cane into his hand and flew through the gap in the broken ceiling.
As they watched the ceiling shake, all the people were frightened out of their wits and ran wildly out of the hall.
They screamed and scrambled for their lives, running out into the open square before they begrudgingly looked up at the two men battling each other.
The two men in the sky, who were constantly using magic, were clashing against each other, surprisingly evenly matched.
The crowd saw this and exclaimed, "The High Priest is really powerful. He can actually fight the dragons to a draw."
And it was at this moment that a change occurred.
A man exclaimed loudly, pointing to the sky, "You guys, look at the High Priestess! He's getting older! "
Following the man's hand, everyone looked in the direction of the High Priest, only to see that the High Priest, who had been full of power, was now decaying at a rate visible to the naked eye; his hair began to fall out, his body began to shrink, his back began to bend and stoop, his skin began to turn dry and waxy, and even his power had disappeared as a result!
The silver dragon flapped its huge wings so viciously that it slapped the aged High Priest onto the roof of the Priest's Temple!
The crowd started screaming again as the situation was turned around in the blink of an eye, and they couldn't even find a place to escape with all the debris everywhere.
The crowd, already trapped in a jar, cried out in despair, begging for the Silver Dragon's sympathy.
The silver dragon flapped its huge wings and flew to where Christian had fallen, its mouth open, intending to deliver a final blow.
Before it did so, a golden bolt of lightning struck from the sky, straight into Hillman's mouth.
Hillman looked angrily at the source of the lightning as he ached with pain.
Not far away, standing on a huge black dragon, Bai Lixin came in the wind.
The crowd that had been in despair also saw Bai Lixin. His appearance gave them hope again, and they shouted, "It's His Majesty Alexander! Long live His Majesty!!! "
The cries of the men drew the displeasure of the silver dragon, whose silver pupils took one look at them and his mouth opened to spit out a huge ball of fire.
The ball of fire exploded not far from the men, and they were so frightened that they shut their mouths tightly, not daring to utter a single breath.
Bai Lixin pointed his lance at the Silver Dragon and said coldly, "Silver Dragon Hillman, I warn you as the King of the Saron Empire to leave my country, or I will make you pay a terrible price. "
The Silver Dragon looked at the Black Dragon and Bai Lixin who had come to cause trouble, and a puff of white smoke came out of its snout as it hissed and flapped its wings and took to the sky.
Why, why was Alexander still alive?!
Tear them apart, and Princess Sophia would be his. They would be married, they would have many children, and they would live happily ever after.
The silver dragon, which had lost its mind, roared in anger towards the black dragon and charged at them in a reckless attacking stance.
Seeing this, Bai Lixin raised his spear and, with a flick of his foot, he leapt up from the black dragon and jumped directly onto the silver dragon's back. His eyes were as sharp as swords, and his hands were even simpler and more brutal, as he drove the lance deep into the back of the Silver Dragon with one push.
The Silver Dragon hissed in pain, and its body stiffened as it plunged straight down to the ground.
The Silver Dragon was so large that not only the entire palace, but also the royal city, could see the battle.
They saw their king descend from the sky like a god, not only rescuing the High Priest, but also easily subduing the silver dragon with just one move, saving the Saron Empire from danger.
The people clapped their hands and cheered. This was the true God of War. King Alexander was not only the king of a nation, but also the protector of a nation!
At that moment, everyone worshipped Bai Lixin's spontaneous and ruthless bravery.
