“King Landhar III, explain to me what’s going on.”
After looking at King Landhar III and Watson for a long time, the Elven King could not help but ask.
He could not understand the current situation. He thought that King Landhar III was the Dragon Emperor who had signed a contract with the dragons and that he was the mastermind behind everything. Then, he realized that the situation was very different from what he had thought.
Why was King Landhar III not the Dragon Emperor? That seemingly vulnerable youth in front of him had called himself the Dragon Emperor? Was that some sort of scam? However, things had come to that point, so what was the use of deceiving him? Furthermore, when King Landhar III took the initiative to stand up when he mentioned the Dragon Emperor and said he wanted to explain it to him, that reaction was equivalent to admitting that he was the Dragon Emperor, right?
“King Jersey, I wanted to explain it to you just now. You did not give me a chance to explain!” King Landhar III looked helpless. “Let me introduce you to the young man next to me. This is Watson. He is the strongest genius in the Holy Dragon Kingdom and the future heir to the throne. He is the Dragon Emperor you mentioned.”
“Not only is he a dragon, but Watson is also the leader of the sea folks! He and the other ministers arrived at the fortress city so quickly because of the river that ran through it and the deep-sea submarines that guarded the surrounding area. It was all thanks to Watson.
King Landhar III’s voice was not loud, but every word was like thunder, slamming into the chest of the Elven King.
It turned out that King Landhar III was not the one who had planned all of that, but the youth called Watson. He would not have controlled King Landhar III if he had known earlier. He would have turned around and killed Watson instead. Unfortunately, the ancestor he summoned had already locked his divine power onto King Landhar III’s body. The wooden divine sword floating above his head had already taken shape and was rapidly falling. It was already too late to change its target.
The Elven King’s expression changed a few times as he gritted his teeth. He said coldly, “It doesn’t matter. Regardless of whether it’s you, King Landhar III, or the young man who did all that, you will all die here in front of our ancestor’s great power.”
“Elven King, we don’t care if you target the human king, but we can’t let you attack the Dragon Emperor! According to the agreement, I will help you attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but the Dragon Emperor is an exception. Strictly speaking, the Dragon Emperor is not a citizen of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, so you can’t attack him.”
Led by the Forest Dragon King, the dragons kneeling stood up and glared at the Elven King. The Forest Dragon King flapped her hair and emitted a terrifying aura.
“Forest Dragon King, you have already betrayed the agreement between us, and now you’re lecturing me. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous? If I don’t agree to your request, what can you do about it?” the Elven King sneered.
He had already used his lifespan to summon the elves’ ancestor. Even the dragons would not be able to resist the elven ancestor’s starlight-tier divine power.
The Forest Dragon King shook her head, and a smile appeared on her delicate face. “The dragons are a race that keeps its promises. If we agreed to something, we would definitely do it. But if someone tries to break the contract, we won’t forgive that person easily! Your Majesty, your words have troubled me.”
As she spoke, the Forest Dragon King extended her right hand toward the sky. With a light pinch of her slender fingers, a crack appeared in the middle of the huge wooden divine sword that stretched across the sky for hundreds of meters. The divine sword burned fiercely in midair and turned to ash.
Not only was the divine sword damaged, but even the projection of the so-called elven ancestor, who released the divine sword, was also heavily injured. A crack had appeared in her chest and lower abdomen.
Following that, the body of the Forest Dragon King expanded and turned into the form of a dragon. The illusion of the elven chess piece that occupied the entire sky was immediately pushed aside by an even larger dragon-shaped creature. It was a dragon whose entire body was emitting natural light. The gigantic divine dragon that looked like a World Tree was the Forest Dragon King’s true form, the Divine Nature Dragon. Its body was as thick as a tree trunk, and every scale on it was made of leaves. When they rubbed against each other, a crisp sound could be heard. Its entire body looked no smaller than a planet.
“What is that?”
Many elves in the stronghold city looked up at the sky with their mouths wide open. It was not just them; even the humans in the fortress city looked up at the sky as well. They were so shocked that they could not speak. It was the first time they had seen a dragon that was the size of a planet. It was rumored that dragons were the strongest creatures in the world, and the Dragon King was a powerful existence that stood at the head of the dragon race, possessing unimaginable power. They did not expect the real Dragon King to be so powerful.
“That is the strength of the Dragon King? No, that tier has clearly surpassed the Dragon King.”
The Elven King looked up at the sky. Under his gaze, the massive illusion released by the Forest Dragon King in the sky had already begun to move. Its star-sized body was surrounded by the projection of the elves’ ancestor elf, and its tail wrapped around the projection’s body. The Divine Nature Dragon blocked the ancestor elf’s divine power, and its body gradually broke under the dragon’s powerful strength.
First its four limbs, then its neck. Soon, the ancestor elf’s body was torn into pieces of different sizes, turning into green light and dissipating in the air.
It only took a minute for that to happen. Then, the Forest Dragon King returned to her human form and fell from the air. She placed her palm on her chin and yawned as if she had just done a trivial thing.
“That is what happens when you attack the Dragon Emperor without my consent.”
As the ancestor elf’s power dissipated, the sturdy vines that had bound King Landhar III’s body also shattered. King Landhar III, who had escaped, moved his sore shoulders and tidied his clothes. “King Jersey, your plan has failed. I can guess the reason for your attack. No matter what it is, you can no longer attack my kingdom. Why don’t we sit down and have a good chat? After all—”
“Sit down and have a chat with you? Have you forgotten what the Holy Dragon Kingdom did to the Elven Kingdom? The Holy Dragon Kingdom had its achievements 400 years ago because your kingdom’s great mage, Antonio, went to the Forest of Eternity and stole water from the Spring of Life. Then, more than ten years ago, I let my daughter, Avril, marry you. In the end, my beloved daughter died tragically. How can I continue to trust you? King Landhar III, this matter will not end like this. Just you wait. Sooner or later, I will destroy the Holy Dragon Kingdom.”
After coughing twice, the wrinkles on the Elven King’s face deepened. Blood slid down the corner of his mouth, leaving a trace of red on the ground. It was a shocking sight.
Obviously, the projection of the elves’ ancestor had been destroyed by the Forest Dragon King, so he had suffered severe injuries.
“Fellow elves, activate the magical arrays that was set up in the city, and then leave.”
