Everything quieted down. Corpses and rubble littered the ground. Was this the scene of a fallen kingdom?
Smoke filled the entire city. The palace, as well as the cities outside, were all in chaos. The place where the palace had once been had been turned into ruins. The disheveled king sat paralyzed in the middle of the ruins. He raised his head to look at the sky, his eyes dim and lifeless.
Beside him lay a man covered in bloody holes. He was the king's only friend. At this moment, the king felt incomparably lonely and helpless.
The blood on his thigh had congealed. The enemy had spared his life, but to him, it was better to just kill him. The king was still alive, but his subjects and subjects were all dead. Only he was still alive.
The king looked at the broken blade beside him. The blue blade had already been broken in half, but the long hilt was still intact.
At this moment, he felt like he was the hilt. He was already useless, just an old and muddle-headed king. An old man who couldn't even protect his own citizens. He reached out and grabbed the broken blade. The broken blade cut his hand. He placed it on his neck and closed his eyes.
"Kill me!"
The moment he closed his eyes, the scene of what had just happened flashed through his mind.
That woman in red robes looked at him as if she was looking at an insect. As the king of a kingdom, this made him extremely angry.
Unfortunately, those two terrifying claws had pierced through his body. He was willing to bet that there was some sort of terrifying magic or poison on them. His body was instantly immobilized.
"With such little ability, you dare to call yourself king. Humans are truly pitiful. But don't worry, I'm not here to kill you. I'm just here to bring you a message."
Hearing this, the king revealed an extremely shocked expression. What kind of person wanted to bring a message to slaughter an entire city? This despicable monster!!
He cursed in his heart.
"Very soon, the Wussen Empire will rule the entire world. You'd best be tactful and submit to us. Otherwise, next time, it won't be this small."
After saying this, the woman turned and left, saying, "Go back, children." Then, he stepped into a black mirror, and the monsters that were wreaking havoc in the city also disappeared. None of them could be found.
The king opened his eyes, revealing an expression of terror. He threw down the broken blade in his hand. His hand was covered in blood. He clenched his hand and cried out in pain.
Why was it so painful?
However, at this moment, a figure descended from the sky.
Boom!
It was his son, the one who had the right to inherit the Flying Dragon Empire. He was here.
But he was too late.
"Father."
Xiang Long shouted. He saw the state of the city and saw the corpses of his father and Uncle Leng Shi. He understood what had happened. He was afraid that this was an attack from the inside. The monsters had somehow penetrated the city barrier and destroyed it from the inside.
Otherwise, the demons would not have been able to capture the city in such a short period of time. Furthermore, there would definitely be spatial teleportation magic. The only Demon King with magic of this scale and scale were the Evil Dragon Emperor and the already dead Underworld Demon King. Therefore, he guessed that the attacker was definitely the Evil Dragon Emperor. This was his revenge.
"Flying Dragon, you are finally here."
The King lowered his head and said. The Flying Dragon Special Forces remained silent. He took a deep breath. He was going to be scolded by the King again.
Unfortunately, the King did not like his second son. He liked the First Prince more. However, to his surprise, the Second Prince, Xiang Long, won the battle for the throne. He was supposed to inherit the throne five years later but the heavens seemed to be playing tricks on him. He became the Hero.
The King used this as an excuse to put the matter of the throne aside. Xiang Long knew that the King was secretly looking for a new candidate but he did not dare to say it out loud.
"Forgive me for being late. Father, please punish me."
"Kneel down."
Xiang Long looked around. His Dragon Guards were very tactful. They all turned their heads and walked away. He did not want anyone to see him kneeling down.
"Yes, Father."
Xiang Long walked in front of the King unwillingly. Then, he knelt down on one knee.
The King picked up the long handle on the ground and stood up. Xiang Long realized that his thigh was pierced through. He was stunned for a moment. Then, he tried to stand up.
"Don't move!"
The King ordered. Xiang Long did not move. He felt uneasy. He did not know what his father wanted to do.
"Now, I want you to be the special envoy of the Dragon God, the protector of the people, and the ruler of the Dragon Boat Empire!"
"What?! This! "
Xiang Long was shocked. He raised his head and looked at the King. He could not believe his ears.
"Let me finish! But I have two conditions. "
"Father, please tell me! I will abide by them! "
Xiang Long said emotionally. His eyes were filled with tears. He had been waiting for this moment for so long. His father finally acknowledged him.
"First, you have to abide by the traditions of your ancestors. You have to let your remaining children choose a successor. You cannot be biased."
But you are biased!
Xiang Long screamed in his heart. But at this moment, it did not matter anymore. He had already accepted it. Joy had gone to his head. Let bygones be bygones.
"Second! Promise me that you will avenge the Dragon Boat Empire! Destroy the Wussen Empire for me! Kill that Demon King who calls himself the Queen Mother!! "
The King shouted. He gritted his teeth. It seemed that the person who attacked Dragon City was the enemy called the Queen Mother.
"Yes! I will bring her head to you. I swear on my throne and the name of the Brave! "
Hearing this, the King let out a long sigh and nodded.
"Very good, very good …"
Then, he lowered his head and used one hand to take off the dusty crown on his head. He glanced at the crown. This was probably the last time he would wear it.
He didn't think that this little toy would be so memorable. He couldn't help but think back to when he had taken it from the hands of his father who had died of illness. Even though the previous king had died, he still used his stiff hands to hold it tightly in his hands. He swore that he would never become a king like him.
But now, he understood.
It was not easy to give up. He felt some regret. But words were like water that had been spilled.
"From now on, you are the twenty-sixth King of the Dragon Boat Empire."
The King placed the crown on Xiang Long's head. The survivors in the ruins and the moon in the sky witnessed this.
… …
In a corner of the city, a small black circle appeared in the wall. Three figures walked out from it.
"Heavens! What the hell is going on? Is this Dragon City? "
Bessie looked at the wretched state of the city and could not help but cry out.
Reina was also shocked. In the morning, this was a bustling place. But at night, this place had turned into ruins.
War …
"It seems that the Wusen Empire is stronger than we thought. We cannot sit by and do nothing."
Long Xing frowned.
Reina did not say anything. She looked at the ruins. There were a few hands and feet sticking out from the cracks. She fell into deep thought.
If … if she did not fall into panic and did not hide her identity, and directly used magic and strength to deal with those insects, would these people be saved?
"I don't know if everyone in Tianshan Town is still alive. How should we go back …"
Bessie covered her face and sobbed. She felt very helpless.
"Reina, I am going to inform the Union. Are you willing to come with me?"
Long Xing asked.
Reina did not say anything. She just shook her head.
"Alright. Take care of yourself."
After saying that, a black mirror appeared behind Long Qing. She turned around and disappeared into the mirror.
But at that moment, a call came from not far away.
"Hey!! Is anyone still alive?! "
It was the voice of a survivor. Hearing this, Bessie immediately stood up.
"Yes! Here!! That's great, Reina. We are not the only ones … "
She looked back and found that the two had disappeared.
