"I underestimated your courage..."
Charles II stared resentfully at Roddy, but the latter ignored him and directly greeted Crohn and the others. "Elson, we haven't seen each other for a few months. How are you all?"
Crohn, Strange, and Scarlett did not know whether to laugh or cry. There was no way they could respond to such words. In the end, they could only shake their heads helplessly.
"It's all right. After the matter is over, the Magic Research Department will still be willing to welcome you."
After Roddy said this, he turned his gaze to Charles II. "Aren't you worried about your wife and children?"
Charles II, who was still brewing his emotions, suddenly froze — because his mind was indeed full of how to escape here just now. He had never thought that his wife and children were still in the city. At this moment, after being reminded by Roddy, he suddenly opened his eyes wide. "What did you do? Where are Solis and Brassock? "
He only asked where the two princes were and did not ask about the queen and daughter. This really made Roddy feel disgusted. He rolled his eyes. "Guess?"
Charles II was furious, but he did not dare to flare up. Thinking that the mages in the team had given up resistance, he also understood that he had completely failed, but the unwillingness in his heart made him clench the hilt of his sword. Many unrealistic ideas also emerged in his mind — if he rushed over now, was it possible to directly kill Sally or Roddy?
Sally looked at his flickering eyes and calmly said, "The Kingdom of Karen has shed enough blood. It is time for the war to end."
Charles II's face was livid. If he did not move, the other nobles would not dismount. At this moment, if he wanted to launch a charge and resist, the remaining nobles would most likely follow — because this moment concerned the dignity and reputation of the entire family. If anyone opened their mouth to surrender first, the entire family would bear the blame.
However, Charles II could not make this decision.
The situation was somewhat deadlocked, but Roddy was not in a hurry. In his eyes, Charles II was only an emperor with great ambitions but little talent. If he had the courage to make the decision to destroy indiscriminately, the situation in the Kingdom of Karen would not have become like this. At this moment, the choice was in his hands. He could decide the life and death of the other party at will. However, just as he was about to end the conversation, a fluctuation from above made him suddenly raise his head.
At this moment, Charles II saw the Dragon Slayer Mark light up in Roddy's eyes, followed by a whistling sound coming from the sky. He raised his head to look at the sky and was shocked to find that there were actually five giant dragons descending in circles!
Charles II didn't know what was going on, but he remembered that Lord Quayo had protected him back then. He disregarded the pain in his crotch and hurriedly dismounted. The five dragons were of different colours. Kardashian, who was the first to land, turned into her human form and landed on the periphery of the crowd. Charles II remembered that she was familiar with his daughter, Rowling, and immediately said, "Your Excellency Kardashian! You're finally here! "
"Ah?"
Kardashian, who was looking at Roddy, was stunned for a moment when she heard that. After she realized what was going on, she rolled her eyes at Roddy. "They just arrived? I thought it would be over in the morning. "
After saying that, she greeted Sally. "This crown of yours is a little stingy. I'll change it to a more beautiful one for the coronation."
"Really? That's great! "
Sally responded with a smile. This scene immediately stunned Charles II and the nobles behind him. Charles II, who was about to 'complain', swallowed his saliva. He felt that the Dragons seemed to be playing a big joke on him.
"Why are they all here?" Roddy glanced over. Kardashian was the first to land, and the other four dragons behind her turned into their human forms and came before him. He saw two familiar faces and raised his hand to greet them. "Your Excellency Iscar, Your Excellency Essien, I'm really sorry that I didn't get to greet you before."
"No need to address us as Your Excellency, Prime Minister Roddy. Just call us by our names in private." Essien did not say much. He pointed to Iscar, who had his head lowered beside him. "This guy is sure that he's fine, so he's coming out to report the news."
Roddy knew this would be the result. He was about to speak when he saw Iscar bow to him. "What happened before was really offensive … I apologize to Efta on behalf of the Red Dragons."
"I understand. There's no need to be like this."
Roddy quickly reached out to help him up, and then looked at the other two. The Black Dragon Herrlöw was a strong man who was two meters tall, and the Green Dragon was a short male elf who was about 1.7 meters tall.
"Rubens and Stika."
Kardashian introduced the two. The two young Dragons were a little curious about Roddy. They were not as polite as Iscar and just nodded to greet him. Roddy greeted them and turned to ask Kardashian. "Isn't it arranged in a week? Why are you here today? "
"We're here on behalf of our lords to inform you that two elders of the Green Dragons have symptoms of mental attack. At the same time, there are more than 30 ordinary members who are slightly affected. The Red Dragons are not doing well either. There are more than 20 of them with mild symptoms. At the same time, some of the young dragons are also affected. Fortunately, this incident happened. Otherwise, the future would be unpredictable. "
Kardashian glanced at Charles II and the others. "When are you going to finish? We're here to make some preparations in advance so that the venue for the meeting is too shabby. The lords are very concerned about this matter. However, since the venue is arranged in the capital, you'll naturally be in charge. If there's anything you need help with, just let us know. If there's anything important that needs to be notified, we can also contact the lords in time. "
"Let's do it in the central square. We'll discuss the details later." Roddy did not take it seriously at all because the content of the meeting was the main point.
He knew that the current situation was actually the Dragons fighting to be on his good side. He was good at taking advantage of the situation. After thinking for a while, he immediately said, "That's good. I have something to discuss with the lords. However, there were too many things yesterday, so I didn't have the time to talk about it."
In fact, he had this idea yesterday. However, the Red and Green Dragons had not been replaced yet. This kind of thing was not suitable to be brought up in front of the other lords.
Iscar and Essien were also a little curious. The former asked, "What's the matter?"
Roddy turned back and waved at the Magic Tower. He whispered, "Let it out."
The next moment, a dark purple figure suddenly appeared at the top of the Magic Tower. A hoarse dragon roar sounded. The Shadow Dragons spread their wings, circled around, and swooped down towards Roddy. After landing with a loud rumble, the ferocious-looking dragons obediently lay beside Roddy.
"By chance, I found it imprisoned in a magic tool." Roddy looked at the few Dragons who looked surprised. Kardashian's surprise was fake. Without her help, it would be difficult for Roddy to tame this Shadow Dragon.
Roddy continued, "There are no signs of demonic invasion on its body. I think … this may be the last Shadow Dragons."
"I hope to inform the lords of this news. If possible, I hope to discuss this matter in a week's time."
This news obviously exceeded the expectations of Iscar and the others. Rubens and Stika, who were originally calm, looked at the Shadow Dragon in surprise. Then, they looked at each other and said, "We will inform the lords now!"
"You guys go first. I still have something to say."
Kardashian asked them to leave first. So, the four dragons immediately transformed and left the Imperial City. The news of the Shadow Dragon was too shocking. They all wanted to inform the lords as soon as possible. After they left, Kardashian heaved a sigh of relief. She relaxed and said, "The Green Dragon and Red Dragon have each picked a new lord. This matter is too rushed. The new lord should not cause too much trouble in a short period of time."
"It's good that everything is stable. A solid alliance is ten thousand times better than a total collapse."
Roddy turned his head and said to the Shadow Dragon, "If you want to fly, go circle a few times. Just don't attack any creatures."
The Shadow Dragon obediently hissed and flapped its wings to fly into the sky. It was not like the other Dragons who used magic to fly into the sky. Therefore, the strong wind caused by the flapping of its wings directly blew Charles II and the others around.
But at this time, they could no longer care about their image. Everything that happened in front of them was completely beyond their understanding. Since when did Dragons become so polite to humans? And that Shadow Dragon, why did it look like Roddy was its master?
Kardashian's behavior was casual and intimate. In addition to the words she said to Sally, this group of self-proclaimed smart nobles naturally understood what it meant!
Charles II felt as if there was a fire burning in his innards. He tried to please the Red Dragons in every possible way, and in the end, he did not even hesitate to hand over the control of the entire army. But in the end? The entire army was still defeated. Even the Red Dragon Lord himself couldn't turn the situation around. This kind of defeat, where he worked like a horse and lost everything, was a world of difference from Roddy, who was in control of everything.
"What do you plan to do? Do you still want to stay here? "
Kardashian looked at them impatiently. Under such urging, Charles II had no choice but to make a stand. He gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword, not to fight, but to hold it with both hands …
Handing over the sword meant surrender, and the surrounding nobles lowered their heads. But there was nothing to criticize about Charles II's behavior. In the face of Roddy, who was on an equal footing with the Dragons, this team of a hundred people could not do anything at all.
But the king wanted to say something, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.
For a former ruler, admitting his own failure was an extremely humiliating thing.
Holding the scepter in her hand, Sally stepped forward. She raised her gaze and looked at Charles II in front of her. She raised her hand and grasped the gem-studded longsword. She saw the reluctant expression on the other party's face when he let go of the sword. But at this moment, Sally did not show any mercy. She exerted a little force and the sword broke free from his hand.
"Long live Evertar!"
