Jean Rich was a merchant in the Lyon Empire. He specialized in sea trading, and he was quite famous in the Lyon Empire.
However, the recent changes in the Lyon Empire went beyond Ricky's understanding. First, the Dragons, with the cooperation of the Great Nobles, suddenly broke through the Lyon Empire's defenses and slaughtered the Lyon Family's people who were gathered in the Imperial Palace. Then the Dragons suddenly became the Royal Family of the Lyon Empire. They even changed the name of the Empire to the Saint Dragon Empire.
Ricky thought that this was the end of the matter. Everyone in the continent knew about the strength of the Dragons. Moreover, the Buddha Empire, Rosen Empire, Aksu Empire, and the Ocean Waves Dynasty had already recognized the Dragons' rule over the Lyon Empire. In this case, the Lyon Empire might really be ruled by the Dragons in the future.
In Ricky's opinion, this wasn't a bad thing. All the powers in the continent knew about the strength of the Dragons. Moreover, they had also formed an alliance with the Radiant Church. Although Ricky didn't agree with this, he was only a merchant, he didn't have the right to speak. Even if he had the right to speak, he wouldn't dare. After all, the ones in power right now were the Dragons.
At first, Ricky thought that there wouldn't be any problems. However, it didn't take long for him to realize that the Dragons' rule wasn't that good. The Dragons were too aloof, they simply looked down on Humans. In their eyes, Humans were just like ants, even lesser dragons. In the past few days, the number of innocent civilians who were slaughtered in the Lyon Empire had reached a thousand. These civilians didn't do anything wrong, they just didn't give a salute to the lesser dragons, or they just sold things to the lesser dragons for money.
It was impossible for such a rule to win the hearts of the people. This made Ricky discover that there were fewer and fewer people doing business in the city. Even the small nobles wouldn't go out if they didn't have something important to do. All kinds of balls and parties had also disappeared. Nobody was in the mood to participate in these parties, only the Great Nobles were in the mood to do so.
The ones who benefited the most this time were the Great Nobles. Although the Dragons were the rulers of the Lyon Empire, the Great Nobles were still outsiders. They weren't familiar with the Lyon Empire, so they had to rely on the Great Nobles to take care of everything. Because of this, the Great Nobles had more authority than before.
This was also the reason why Ricky felt disdain for the Great Nobles. To be honest, Ricky didn't like the rule of the Dragons. The Dragons were tyrannical, not only to outsiders, but also to commoners. What kind of rule was this? They were simply slaves. And for the sake of benefits, the Great Nobles were willing to bend their knees in front of the Dragons. This made Ricky feel disdain for their actions.
However, he was just a merchant. He had fame and money, but he didn't have any strength. He was really worried that those Great Nobles would make a move on him. Fortunately, he had some friendship with a few Great Nobles, so they didn't do anything to him.
Today, Zhao Hai was prepared to take a ship out of the city. This was because he wanted to go to Golden Island to do business. He was a sea merchant, which sea merchant wouldn't go to Golden Island to do business? But just as he was about to go out, an unforeseen event occurred.
Ricky's courage wasn't small. He had been on the sea for many years, so he had seen magic beasts and pirates. He had experienced life and death several times, so he naturally wouldn't be as afraid as ordinary people. Because of this, he had seen the entire battle in the capital with his own eyes.
Even after the battle ended, Ricky still hadn't recovered. He didn't think that the Dragons would be completely wiped out. Moreover, they were turned into undead.
Ricky stood in the attic on the top floor of his house. He looked through the small window at the square formation outside as well as the undead army. His heart couldn't help but tremble. He was afraid, he was really afraid. One must know that there weren't many people in the continent who weren't afraid of the undead, especially these powerful undead.
At this time, the square formation of the undead suddenly fluctuated as a Bone Dragon carrying a house appeared in the sky. The house was completely red, it looked like it was made of red crystal. Then a person opened the door and walked out. This person didn't look very old, and his appearance was very ordinary. But when he appeared, Ricky couldn't help but stare. This was because he knew who this person was.
The Lord of Golden Island, the Patriarch of the Buda Clan, the continent's strongest Dark Mage, the continent's most blessed Noble, the continent's most successful Merchant, the continent's most powerful Patriarch, and so on. This person was Zhao Hai Buda!
Because Ricky had business in Golden Island, he was fortunate enough to participate in Zhao Hai's wedding. He saw the entire process of Zhao Hai and Laura getting married. Zhao Hai even gave him a toast. How could he forget Zhao Hai's appearance?
But now that Zhao Hai appeared, Ricky couldn't help but be stunned. He didn't think that this formidable undead army would be commanded by Zhao Hai.
Zhao Hai came out of his cane and stood on top of the Bone Dragon's head. Looking down at the Lyon Empire's capital, he said, "Friends of the Lyon Empire, greetings. I am Zhao Hai Buda, the Patriarch of the Buda Clan. The reason why I led my army here is to deal with the Dragons. The shameless Dragons actually occupied our Human Empire and enslaved us. This is something that this Zhao Hai Buda cannot tolerate. Today, I, Zhao Hai Buda, announce that my Buda Clan will declare war on the Dragons. Today, I have killed all the Dragons, Lesser Dragons, as well as the Nobles, Generals, and Magic Beasts in the Lyon Empire's capital. Yesterday, I killed all the Dragons and Lesser Dragons in Cavalry Fortress and Soaring Sky Fortress. Tomorrow, I will lead my army to Accra Mountain and have a decisive battle with the Dragons. Friends of the Lyon Empire, you don't need to worry about your safety. I have no intention of invading the Lyon Empire, so please don't be afraid!"
Zhao Hai's words were amplified by magic and spread throughout the capital. Everyone was quietly listening to Zhao Hai's words. Many commoners opened their windows and looked at the god-like Zhao Hai in the sky.
Slowly, some people came out of their houses, and then more and more people came out of their houses. Zhao Hai looked at the Lyon Empire's people below and calmly said, "Please don't worry, I have no intention of invading the Lyon Empire. This time, I came specifically for the Dragons. I hope that the garrison of the capital will maintain law and order, so that there won't be any chaos. Next, I will open the magic shield and meet the army of the Nobles outside the city. I hope that you won't run around, so as to avoid any accidental injuries."
After he said that, Zhao Hai commanded the formation to slowly move towards the northern gate of the city. At the same time, he closed the magic shield of the capital. The yellow shield slowly disappeared from the city.
At this time, Zhao Hai also appeared at the northern gate of the Lyon Empire. He slowly moved towards the army of the Nobles. The Nobles outside the city were trembling. Although the magic shield of the capital was opened, they couldn't enter the city. Moreover, the city walls also blocked their view, so they couldn't see what was happening inside the city. However, the magic shield couldn't block the sound. Zhao Hai's words were clearly heard by them. They finally knew who these people were as well as what happened inside the city.
When they heard that the Dragons and the lesser dragons were exterminated, the Nobles couldn't help but feel afraid. The reason why the Lyon Empire fell to its current state was directly related to them. If they didn't rely on the Dragons, then the Lyon Empire wouldn't have fallen to its current state.
Now that Zhao Hai brought his undead and killed the Dragons, the Nobles had lost their backing. Now, they could only wait and see how Zhao Hai would deal with them.
When they saw Zhao Hai's army of Undead, these Great Nobles couldn't help but go crazy. And when they saw the Bone Dragon beneath Zhao Hai's feet, these Great Nobles finally believed that the Dragons were finished.
They also understood why Zhao Hai was able to exterminate the Dragons in such a short time. It was because the undead under his command could fly. Flying undead? Were they 9th rank? They haven't heard of 9th rank undead before. But now that they were here, the Nobles understood that the undead were 9th ranks. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to exterminate the Dragons in such a short time.
The Nobles felt their legs trembling, they wanted to pee!
Zhao Hai stood on the head of the Bone Dragon and coldly looked at the Nobles, then he coldly snorted and said, "You are all traitors of the Human Race. You actually sided with the Dragons and helped them fight against the Humans. I originally wanted to kill you all, but I don't want to do that now. Yesterday, I went to Accra Mountain to fight the Dragons, so I don't have time to manage the Lyon Empire. Therefore, I hope that you can manage the Lyon Empire well. Don't cause any trouble when I fight the Dragons. Otherwise, I'll be the first to exterminate you!"
At this point, the Nobles didn't dare to say a word. They knew that if they had any intention to resist, then they would immediately be killed.
They knew their value in Zhao Hai's eyes. Zhao Hai wasn't short on money, he was one of the most famous merchants in the continent. Moreover, he controlled Golden Island. If he was short on money, then there would be no one in the continent who wasn't short on money.
Zhao Hai didn't lack people who would fight for him. At this point, there were hundreds of thousands of undead behind him, and all of these undead could fly. At this point, there were more than 40 Dragons, as well as a lot of magic beasts and lesser dragons. With Zhao Hai's current strength, he could easily destroy any country.
But at this point, what Zhao Hai lacked was people who could manage the Lyon Empire. The Dragons in the Lyon Empire had already been exterminated, so if Zhao Hai were to destroy them, then there would be no one left to manage the Empire. It would then fall into chaos, this wasn't something that Zhao Hai wanted to see. Therefore, Zhao Hai decided to let them live in order to help him manage the Lyon Empire. This might be their last value in Zhao Hai's eyes, so they didn't dare to resist and immediately agreed. There were also some Nobles who expressed their loyalty to Zhao Hai, pledging their loyalty to him.
