The Old Man and the Monster Chapter 19: The Dragon of Chaos in the Shadows
Who is the Dragon of Chaos?
Yushiro shook his head, in fact, everyone knows about the Chaos Dragon, but some people don't know that the Chaos Dragon is that person.
Yushiro didn't speak, and Hentai on the side clasped his hands to his chest, his eyes fell on the broken building on the hillock in front of him, obviously with little interest in explaining.
The older Near-God Army glanced at the commander, and only after receiving tacit approval did he ask the two senior colleagues in front of him, "What do you think has been the most influential event for the empire in the past hundred years?"
The two young warriors were stunned by the sudden question, and couldn't help but glance at each other, and at the same time saw the doubt in each other's eyes.
“...... Be...... The appearance of the Divine One?" one of them replied hesitantly.
The older man did not give confirmation, but looked at the second person.
"Is it the rebels of more than twenty years ago?" said another young man.
"You're right," the elder nodded, gesturing to the first person to give the answer, "and that's fine. ”
Yushiro clapped his hands, and the three of them turned to him at the same time.
"Actually, these two things have a common starting point, and both revolve around the same person. Yushiro finally joined the conversation, "That's Mr. Ryu, the leader of the resistance and known as General Law's number one enemy." ”
"Dragon...... The dragon king is ...... Dragons of Chaos!?"
Of course, the two young men had heard of Mr. Long, the empire's arch-enemy for a hundred years had become an important chapter in the school's history lessons.
This man who occupied the seventh district, almost succeeded in splitting the entire empire, and fought against the military for nearly ten years, and was called the dragon king by the military and the rebels, turned out to be the "dragon of chaos" in their mouths.
But then it occurred to the two of them that the title "Dragon of Chaos" was indeed worthy of its name, and that this dragon king had brought great chaos to the entire empire.
However, in the end, General Luo still made him sign a peace agreement, and the rebel army that had been formed for nearly ten years was disbanded, and the seventh district returned to the jurisdiction of the empire, and General Luo also achieved the title of military god, and the whereabouts of the dragon king have been unknown since then.
Some say that the Dragon King has been executed by the military, others say that he is being locked up in a prison in the imperial capital, and there are even a handful of rumors that the Dragon King betrayed the rebels to join the army.
As for the ultimate truth, no one knows, and it is not written in any book.
At this time, the general told the two young warriors that the small building in front of them was the residence of the Dragon King, who had been missing for more than 20 years.
The general said that they were coming to visit the first of the gods in this world, which meant ......
"That's right," Yushiro saw what they were thinking, and generously admitted, "The Dragon King is the first god in this world to be known to the Empire. ”
After listening to Yushiro's words, in addition to surprise, there was also an inexplicable excitement that slowly rose in the hearts of the two young people.
The chief brought them to the Dragon King's hiding place at this moment, which was almost a great opportunity to make a great contribution to the two of them.
"Sir...... We're going to ...... Get rid of the Dragon King completely?" One of them blushed with excitement and nervousness, and his flushed face could be seen even in the moonlight.
"Get rid of the dragon of chaos?" Hearing this, Hentai, who had been too lazy to comment, finally couldn't help but sneer, "As the old saying goes, people are self-aware, and you two want to get rid of the dragon king?" ”
"Sir, it's not that exaggerated, no matter how powerful he is, he is only alone, and besides, it has almost been thirty years. Even if he was really the Dragon King at the beginning, I'm afraid that the minions would have faded long ago, if we really came to tie him up this time, I would give him a shot when I went in. The soldier who spoke just now looked disdainful. He looked down on the cowardice of the few people in front of him, where he still looked like a soldier, he didn't dare to put this emotion on Yushiro, so he had to focus on the "Chaos Dragon" in his words.
"Oh?" Yushiro turned his head slightly to look at the other party, "You're stronger than the Great General." ”
"The subordinates don't dare!" The soldiers of the Near-God Army were so frightened that their faces changed, and they immediately bowed their heads and saluted.
"Even after nearly thirty years, the Great General is unwilling to show his killing intent in front of the 'Chaos Dragon', and if you are talking about how to kill him in front of his room now, doesn't that mean that you are not even more powerful than the Great General?"
"Subordinate......" The face of the soldier of the Near-God Army changed again and again, layers of cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back, he saluted again, gritted his teeth and said, "Subordinate knows his mistake. ”
Yushiro didn't look at him anymore, and he didn't pursue it anymore, but the expression on his face became more serious, "Remember, no matter how much time has passed, the dragon of chaos is still the dragon of chaos, and I can reveal to you another secret that you can know, the dragon king did not lose in that war back then." ”
The two young men looked up violently, and even the older soldiers, who knew about the existence of the Chaos Dragon, couldn't help but look at Yushiro.
Yushiro, however, had already guessed the reaction of several people, and there was no surprise, because when he first heard about it, he behaved exactly like several subordinates at the moment.
"The Dragon of Chaos, who calls himself Mr. Dragon, has led the rebels for eight years, and has been undefeated against the Imperial military for many years when they are absolutely weak in numbers and weapons. Even if a great general was born out of thin air and put on a battle, it took four years to achieve peace. Perhaps the vast majority of the people thought that it was the empire that defeated the rebels, and even most of the soldiers who participated in the war at that time were full of thought that it was the general who fought with Mr. Long for three days and personally took off the opponent's head to end the war. It's a pity that only the upper echelons of the empire and the near-god army know the truth. ”
Yushiro glanced at the three stunned subordinates and smiled faintly.
"In fact, although it is true that the Dragon King was the first to send the signal to sue for peace, it is only because he found that the longer the rebels fight against the Empire, the more people will die, and the greater the impact on the lives of ordinary people. Yushiro shrugged, a little helpless, "That's right, in the end, the war ended, just because the dragon king was tired, and he couldn't afford so many lost lives." ”
"The Great General, with the promise that no one would be held accountable, and that the Seventh District would pay only half of the tax for thirty years, exchanged the rebels for the dissolution of the rebels and returned to the people, and the Dragon King exiled himself and never participated in the affairs of the world again. ”
Endless has a cold face, as a soldier, but also a near-god army, this incident is undoubtedly an insult to them, but even General Luo himself does not deny this, and even wrote to the old emperor many times to explain the reason, hoping to cancel his title of military god. It's just that after the war, the empire urgently needed a national idol to boost morale and unite people, so the old emperor rejected General Luo's request.
Thinking of this, Hentai changed his silence and said to Yushiro: "General Yu, I don't agree with this matter of asking the Dragon King for help, and he may not be willing to help us." What's more, the Dragon King had already made an agreement with the Great General that he was not allowed to come forward to participate in the affairs of the world. ”
Yushiro shook his head, "Since Fang Zhuge was once the small leader of the rebel army, as long as Fang Zhenge still has a trace of sanity, it is possible for him to listen to the Dragon King's words." Even if it is useless, the Dragon King's ability can restrain Fang Zhuge, and in the face of his comrades-in-arms who once advanced and retreated together and lived and died together, I believe he will not let it go. ”
"As for his agreement with the general......," Yushiro said slowly, "the one who is also a god does not belong to this world in the first place, and dealing with the affairs of the one who is also a god, if you look at it carefully, is not a violation of the agreement between him and the general." I'm sure the general will understand. ”
"In any case, the subordinates don't think it's a good idea to ask the Dragon King for help. Of course, if the general insists on going, I am not afraid of him, I just don't think we need to take the initiative to cause this trouble. "What's more, the golden hand and the puppeteer are already on the way, and if the dragon king can't make a move, it won't affect us much." ”
Of course you're not afraid, you'll have at most one doppelganger.
Before Yushiro could answer, the three soldiers of the Near-God Army were already silently dissatisfied with Hentai's words.
"I see," Yushiro whispered, his attitude unwavering, "but I've already decided, and besides, since we're here, we're always going to have to meet the legendary dragon king, isn't it?"
Yushiro's words have come to this point, of course, Hentai can't object any further, as for the consequences, whether it will anger the dragon king and kill them all, it will have little impact on him. Anyway, Hentai has hundreds of doppelgangers across the country, and as long as one of them is alive, he can continue to replicate himself and restore the status quo at any time.
Seeing that Hentai no longer objected, Yushiro glanced at the rest of the people and took the lead in walking up the hill.
The wooden door of the small building looks no better than the appearance, it is tattered, it is full of scratches from the wind and sand, and the paint surface has fallen clean, but fortunately, there is no crack, and it looks like it can still last for a long time.
Yushiro stood in front of the door and silently took a deep breath.
To be honest, he is about to face the number one enemy of the empire that only exists in legendary books and archives, and even Yushiro, who has experienced a lot of battles, is a little nervous.
Yushiro admits that his martial arts and spiritual strength are far less powerful than General Luo, and in the face of the chaotic dragon who is unwilling to show his killing intent even in front of General Luo, if the other party wants to make trouble, then Yushiro will not think that one of his party can survive.
In fact, they may be killed at the very beginning of the idea of rebellion. It's not up to Shiro to be humble, he has read the top-secret file about Mr. Ryu and knows how far the other party can go.
The core reason why the rebel army, which has no advantage in weapons and personnel, has been able to compete with the empire for many years is the ability of this dragon king.
Yushiro knocked lightly on the door, but there was no response from inside the door.
Yushiro waited for a while, and the night breeze was a little cool, and he knocked on the door again.
After a long time, an old man's voice finally came from the room.
"Come in. The man said slowly, "The door is not locked, just push it open." ”
Yushiro was stunned and pushed the door hard, and the wooden door let out a long, tooth-aching creak, revealing the inside of the house.
As soon as the building entered the door, there was a shelf filled with all kinds of bottles and cans and books, and Yushiro even recognized one or two ghost novels that had been popular in previous years.
"The ghost of the back mountain," Yushiro's nervous heart slowly calmed down, "I didn't expect you to read such novels that young people like too, Dragon King." ”
"Am I old?" said the voice with a strange smile, "It's a young man's thing, but it's the best thing to spend your leisure time." As you can see, the last thing I need is my free time. ”
Tracing the source of the sound, through the gap in the shelves, Yushiro could see the living room behind the bookshelf, where a thin figure was sitting on the sofa with a book in his hand, talking and turning the pages through the dim light.
"It's time for your shaft to be oiled, too. Yushiro walked around the bookshelf, followed by Hentai and the three Near-God Army warriors. Although Endless said that he was not afraid, he was still cautious when he entered the house.
"It's in the middle of nowhere, so it doesn't matter if you grease it or not. The man said, snapping the book shut.
This sound startled Yushiro and his party, and several people suddenly stopped.
"Hmm...... Fear...... "The man sniffed in the air," it was all fear. ”
The faces of the near-god army turned red, and no one answered for a while.
"Your god of war is not there, let's say," Mr. Long found a comfortable position and shrank into the sofa, "What is the matter with the army of the gods looking for me?"
