“The Dragon Emperor?”
“What Dragon Emperor?”
Seeing the dragons kneeling in the direction of Watson and the others, all the elves were stunned. The human ministers also looked at each other in surprise. “Who is the Dragon Emperor? Is he referring to His Majesty?”
“I think those dragons are talking about His Highness Watson. Have you forgotten? A few days ago, when the seven gods rebelled, it was His Highness Watson who summoned an army of angels, the sea folks, and the dragons to stop the riot. Apparently, His Highness Watson is related to the dragons.”
“Even if Watson is related to the dragons, he should not be called the Dragon Emperor, right? What is a Dragon Emperor? I’ve only heard of the position of a Dragon King in the dragon race, but I’ve never heard of a Dragon Emperor. ”
A group of ministers whispered to each other. Watson was unmoved when he heard those words. He had long known that the Forest Dragon King had signed a contract with the Elven Kingdom, asking the Dragon Clan to help with the invasion of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. However, he could not show it. He immediately waved his hand and was about to say something.
At that moment…
Swoosh!
With a muffled sound, a streak of light blazed across the sky. A faint green light bloomed in the air, turning into a world tree-like gate. The Forest Dragon King walked out of the gate.
After the Forest Dragon King appeared, the many dragons lowered their heads even more, showing respect.
“So those dragons are paying respects to the Forest Dragon King. That frightened me.” The Elven King touched his chest. When the dragons paid their respects to the ministers of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, it really made him break out in a cold sweat. The dragons were his pillar of support. If he lost their help, it would be very difficult for him to conquer the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Fortunately, the dragons were not paying respects to King Landhar III and the others. How could mere humans and sea folks have the right to make the proud dragon race kneel?
While muttering in his heart, the Elven King smiled at the Forest Dragon King and said, “Forest Dragon King, you’re here! Those dragons just called you the Dragon Emperor. Is that a new form of address within the Dragon Clan? Or did I hear it wrongly? Are they actually talking about the Dragon King?”
The Forest Dragon King did not respond. Instead, he turned around and knelt on one knee in the direction of the humans, like King Landhar III. “Forest Dragon King, Rita, one of the eight Dragon Kings, greets the Dragon Emperor.”
Even the Forest Dragon King knelt?
That scene made the Elven King swallow his words. He thought that the dragons were kneeling to the Forest Dragon King. Since the Forest Dragon King had knelt, it was obviously not what he thought. The Forest Dragon King was the highest judge of the dragon race, and she had the ability to make him kneel. Where did that Dragon Emperor come from?
The elves were also surprised, and their eyes were filled with panic. They had dared to attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom partly because they could not die, but more importantly, because of the help of those dragons. If there were a so-called Dragon Emperor of the dragon race in the upper echelons of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, then their attack plan would be ruined.
While many elves were panicking, they saw King Landhar III shake his sleeves, cough with a dignified expression, and walk out of the crowd.
“Well, since things have come to this, I won’t hide it anymore.”
“King Landhar III, you are the Dragon Emperor? So you have been colluding with the dragons all this while? That means that you already knew that we had asked the dragons for help during the attack on the Holy Dragon Kingdom. You set me up?”
The Elven King’s mind was in a mess, and many scenes flashed through his mind quickly.
The Forest Dragon King had signed a contract with the elves, saying that they would attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom with them. However, before they arrived at the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the Forest Dragon King had to make a trip to the Dragon Clan’s lair in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. After returning, the Forest Dragon King and the other dragons did not say much, but he could feel that those dragons had become stronger.
In addition to the rumors from the Holy Dragon Kingdom, King Landhar III had signed a new contract with the dragons, expanding the number of dragon knights from ten to a hundred. He did not know what kind of deal he had with the dragons.
That made the Elven King wonder if King Landhar III had given the dragons a lot of benefits to become their Dragon Emperor. Perhaps it was just a conspiracy to get the Forest Dragon King to contact him and sign a contract with them, just to make the dragons betray him at that moment.
“King Jersey, you still look very confused. Let me answer your questions.”
King Landhar III placed his hands behind his back and was about to continue speaking in a calm tone. Before he could finish speaking, the Elven King gritted his teeth as translucent elven wings appeared on his back. The wings flapped, and a peak platinum-tier aura burst forth, causing him to turn into a streak of light and fly toward King Landhar III.
“Shut up. I don’t need you to explain that. King Landhar III, are you trying to humiliate me by saying that? Only one of us can live today.”
Having already determined that King Landhar III was the Dragon Emperor, the Elven King’s eyes were bloodshot. It seemed like the Forest Dragon King and the other dragons had already turned against him. Their plans to attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom in the future would not go smoothly; it would be better to kill King Landhar III then.
King Landhar III was right in front of him, and the guards around him were not very strong either. That was an excellent opportunity. As for the dragons, he was confident that he could pass through them.
The Elven King took out an emerald-green incomplete chess piece from his robe with a ruthless expression. That chess piece was shaped like the trunk of the World Tree, and a lively aura surrounded its branches and leaves. There were faint, colorful micro-elves surrounding the chess piece.
When that chess piece appeared, the sky immediately turned emerald-green. The illusion of a world tree formed by endless starlight occupied everyone’s line of sight.
“Distant elven ancestor, please listen to my summons. I will use my bloodline as the price to release the power of the race chess piece. I look forward to the arrival of our ancestor to eliminate the enemy in front of me!”
Flower petals grew out of the illusory World Tree above the Elven King’s head as he chanted. Then, they condensed into a crystal clear fruit. The fruit exploded, and an elven girl wrapped in light appeared. Her body was tall and sturdy, and her eyes contained the will to look down on the heavens and earth.
“I am the Goddess of the Tree Spirits. I was born according to the wishes of my descendants.”
The elven girl stretched out an arm that was wrapped in light, and the light on the arm quickly spread into twining vines. The vines tangled in the air, and they soon turned into a sharp sword made of trees that fell downwards. The sharp edge of the wooden sword that stretched for hundreds of meters cut a long crack in the ground. The entire fortress city was about to be split in half, and the humans and elves in the city began to tremble spontaneously.
That was the suppression of a higher tier of life.
“The elven ancestor is also the Goddess of the Tree Spirit that the Elven Kingdom has always believed in. She has great power and can dominate the power of nature. In front of the power of the god, no matter how powerful the enemy is, they can only be destroyed! Fortunately, even though the Elven chess piece is incomplete, it can still cast the spell that was recorded in the ancient books to summon the ancestor.”
The wrinkles on the Elven King’s face deepened. He had aged a few years, and it was as if the elven girl was absorbing the life force in his body.
The Elven chess piece in his hand was the elven race’s most precious treasure. It could summon the elves’ ancestor to descend, but the price was to consume his own life force. He had already drunk water from the Spring of Life to obtain eternal life. At that moment, he was still unable to hold on.
The price he paid was also significant.
At that moment, following the elven ancestor’s attack, not only did a huge vine-wrapped divine sword fall from the sky, the ground also shot straight vines that emitted starlight, wrapping around King Landhar III, making him unable to move.
“King Landhar III, you must not have expected me to have a backup plan. If you want to blame someone, then blame yourself for being too conceited. Do you really think that just because you signed a contract with the dragons to become the Dragon Emperor, I won’t be able to deal with you?” The Elven King sneered. At the same time, a trace of doubt appeared in his heart.
Was King Landhar III the Dragon Emperor? Why did the dragons around him look indifferent when he made his move? Did they have the confidence that King Landhar III would not be injured? That would be ridiculous. The Elven King was confident that even the powerful Forest Dragon King would not be able to stop him in front of the elven ancestor. That was also why he dared to make a move against King Landhar III.
“King Jersey, you seem to have misunderstood. When have I said that I am the Dragon Emperor?” King Landhar III did not panic when he was captured. Instead, he looked helpless.
“You are still trying to evade the question at a time like this. If you are not the Dragon Emperor, then who is?”
The Elven King retorted angrily as a tender voice suddenly came from beside him. He turned around and saw that the person who spoke was Watson. The young man scratched his head and revealed a shy smile.
“I’m sorry. Actually, I’m the Dragon Emperor.”
“Hmm?”
The Elven King’s gaze kept alternating between King Landhar III and Watson, and he looked a little lost.
