"This is impossible! I clearly … "
Xiang Long's face turned pale. It was as though he had seen a ghost. Everyone found it amusing that a warrior named Bravery had such a terrified expression on his face.
"The knife you used to stab me still hurts. I should have died then, but the heavens didn't seem to want me to die just like that. Long time no see, Brother Xiang Long. "
Prince Xiang Long gritted his teeth when he heard this. This was his annoying sister. He did not expect her to still be alive.
He immediately looked at the State Preceptor and stared at him. "What happened? Why didn't I know she was still alive? "
State Preceptor Graham shook his head and did not say anything. However, Xiang Long felt that this had something to do with him. Otherwise, she would not have appeared here on her own.
Layel and the other outsiders did not seem to understand what had happened. Layel was still thinking of a solution. She noticed that Richard was unusually quiet today. What was he doing? She could never guess what he was thinking. She only had one goal now and that was to stop Xiang Long from becoming the King.
Long Qing's appearance had changed the situation. She could tell from Xiang Long's expression that her arrival was not beneficial to him.
"According to tradition, the one who survives the succession battle is the successor to the throne. However, I'm still alive. The succession battle is not over yet."
Long Qing said.
Xiang Long clenched his fist when he heard this. The other two warriors seemed to have sensed something. They moved slightly and looked at Xiang Long. Everyone in the hall was stunned by the terrifying murderous aura. The officials of the Dragon Boat Empire who had just experienced a disaster panicked.
Layel's eyes lit up. This was just in time!
However, Long Qing changed the topic and said, "However, I'm not here for the throne. I'm here to inform everyone of something that concerns the survival of mankind."
The survival of mankind?
Everyone pricked up their ears. After experiencing the tragic attack, they did not dare to underestimate the enemy anymore. Even the slightest movement would make them nervous. Who knew if the monsters would attack again? How would they appear, when would they appear and how many of them would there be?
These were all unknowns.
The scariest thing was that they did not know how the enemy broke through the city's wizardry barrier.
"I've found a way for the enemy to invade."
Before Long Yang could finish speaking, the crowd was already boiling.
"What?"
"Is this true?"
"How did those monsters get in?!"
Layel and the other representatives were also surprised. The reason why they were in such a hurry to transfer resources from all over the world was to investigate this matter and find out the truth. The news of Dragon City being attacked would spread throughout the world from the mouths of merchants and wandering singers. This would bring about panic, and panic would cause the empire to become unstable. Therefore, they had to find out the truth before the situation worsened to appease the people.
At the very least, they had to weave a decent lie and pretend that they were prepared.
Long Ying walked forward. She did not care about everyone's gazes, including her brother who wanted her life. She walked to the center and took out a bumpy black stone from her robe.
"Stone?"
"This isn't an ordinary stone. It's a Mana Ore that's rich in impurities. Compared to extracting Mana Stones from it, our Dragon Boat Empire's craftsmen prefer to polish it until it's smooth and use it as a traditional competition prop."
"Dragon Stone!"
Someone shouted this name. Instantly, other than the guests, everyone in the Dragon Boat Empire understood what this meant.
"You're saying that someone embedded magic into the Dragon Stone and disrupted the city wall's barrier?"
Grand Preceptor Graham frowned and asked.
"No, it's much more terrifying than that. Everyone, please look carefully."
As he spoke, Long Yang raised his hand and smashed it hard on the ground. With a bang, a black stone heavily smashed into the ground. Some of the stones cracked, and a small red spider limped out. Everyone retreated and hissed.
"This! What kind of monster is this?! "
"There's a monster! Kill it quickly! "
"Wait! We have to capture it and study it! "
However, in the midst of the chaos, the red spider suddenly jumped toward the face of one of the ministers and revealed the sharp teeth hidden under its stomach. At this moment, a hand quickly reached out and crushed it.
It was Prince Xiang Long. He frowned and opened his hand. The spider's corpse slowly fell from his hand.
"You're saying that this thing is the culprit of the attack?"
He turned his head and asked. His face was filled with doubt, unlike the others. The others were more afraid.
"At least it's the key. If you don't believe me, you can ask the survivors of the martial arts competition what happened."
Hearing this, Prince Xiang Long looked at Grand Preceptor. Grand Preceptor nodded and said, "It's similar to what she said. They all said that the monster came out from the stone. However, we did not find any evidence at the scene. Those monsters ate their companions' corpses and cleaned the area. Princess Long Yang, how did you find this evidence?"
"Because I happened to be at the scene as a spectator. What you should be concerned about is where these Dragon Stones came from. Isn't that right? "
Saying this, Grand Preceptor raised his head and looked at the guests.
"We have to ask the president of the Adventurer's Guild. In recent years, our Dragon Boat Empire's magic ores were all purchased from the Kalis Empire. Moreover, they were all transported through the Guild. If there's a problem, it must be related to the Guild."
Hearing this, everyone looked at the president of the Guild. Layel was shocked and felt her hands and feet turn cold.
How is this possible?!
Her heart sank.
"But the Kalis Empire doesn't have the ability to excavate the ores. They were excavated and refined by the workers of the Dragon Boat Empire."
At this moment, the silent Seventh Hero, Klaus, suddenly spoke.
Of course, they knew about this.
"But you forbade the Dragon Boat Empire from transporting it. You must have done something!"
The ministers replied.
"All we did was count the number. If it were other countries, they would have done the same."
"But this doesn't mean that you didn't do anything!"
Intense noises sounded in the hall. The countries pushed the blame to each other. This was supposed to be a coronation ceremony, but now it had turned into a conference hall. No, it was more like a market.
At this moment, the louder person had the upper hand. The situation had become uncontrollable. They all knew that there was a traitor among the humans.
"Quiet down!"
Suddenly, the seventh hero, Klaus, roared, causing everyone to shut their mouths. Everyone looked at him quietly, only to see that he was like an angry lion.
Long Xing was shocked. She had been paying attention to the actions of Layel, Phoenix, and the Seventh Hero. She thought that these two would definitely do something.
Hero Klaus said loudly, "Now that the human enemy is in front of us, we can't doubt each other here. Perhaps there really is a traitor among us, but the more important thing now is to fight against the foreign enemy. I have something to tell everyone. This is why I came here. I don't care if the Flying Dragon Empire can become the king. I just want to tell everyone that the Beastman King Will Thearch is dead. The person who defeated him is the Demon King of the Wusen Empire. "
"What!?"
Everyone was shocked.
Clearly, a great enemy had been eliminated, but they couldn't be happy. This meant that the new Wusen Empire was far stronger than the Beastmen.
