"What, let the rulers of the countries personally go to the Greystone Islands within ten days to meet the King of the Offshore Sea, and then swear allegiance?"

Boom!

Grand Duke Quill slapped the armrest of his chair hard, and couldn't help but be furious as he listened to the message from the messenger below.

Even if he is the lord of a kingdom, he will not be so arrogant and unreasonable when he wants to summon the ruler of the principality, and he will put on a polite posture on the surface.

"What if I don't go? Emissary from the Limestone Islands. ”

Taking a deep breath, Grand Duke Quill tried to calm himself down and come to his senses, and then said in a deep voice to the messenger of the King of the Sea.

The voice of the messenger did not fluctuate emotionally, but only relayed the will of the upper echelons, bowed his head and said to the Grand Duke of Quayle:

"If you don't go to the Limestone Islands for ten days, the mighty Emperor will come to your land in person."

"What a arrogant dragon! Hmph, don't the humans in your Principality of Bora who are loyal to the dragon have a little pride and glory that belongs to humanity? A high-ranking nobleman of the Duchy of Quill couldn't help but reprimand the envoy.

At the same time, many of the guards who stood in silent as sculptures in the palace hall stared at the messenger.

With a blade-like gaze, the envoy who was in a bad situation raised his head, and said with a tough attitude: "The wings of the Emperor will eventually cover the entire coastal sea, and this is just the beginning. ”

Looking directly at the solemn face of the Grand Duke of Quell, the messenger said in a deep voice:

"Wise and far-sighted Grand Duke Quill, if I were you, I would know very well what choice should be made at this fork in fate—swearing to the King of the Near Sea, to the Dragon of the End, this is the only way out."

Hearing the words of this envoy, some nobles were directly furious.

"You, a messenger loyal to monsters, are also worthy of teaching our Grand Duke to do things? Damn it! ”

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

However, unlike the agitated nobles, the anger of the Grand Duke of Quill had dissipated by this time.

His eyes narrowed slightly, his face constantly changing, his fingers kept tapping on the armrest, and he stared at the human messenger who served the King of the Coastal Sea below, and fell into thought.

A few seconds later.

Grand Duke Quill exhaled, waved his hand, and said to the human messenger, "I already know your intentions, you can go." ”

"I hope the Grand Duke can make the right choice and don't make mistakes."

The human messenger admonished, then withdrew.

After the messenger left, Archduke Quill fell into deep thought again, his fingers tapping on the armrest to make a tuk-tuck sound that echoed through the wide hall.

"Grand Duke, you don't really think about surrendering to the King of the Near Sea, are you? This will be an insult to the prestige of the country, and if it is known to the deceased princes, their souls will not be able to rest in peace. ”

An earl looked at the Archduke of Quell, who was thinking, and couldn't help but speak.

However, he did not wait for Archduke Quill to respond.

Another earl spoke, saying:

"The King of the Near Sea? Now almost all the creatures in the coastal sea have called him the Emperor of the End in awe, but the alliance of our countries has been defeated, and the so-called national prestige in your mouth has ceased to exist at the moment when the crusade army was defeated. ”

"I don't think it's a big deal to be loyal to Emperor Junyan, just look at the current situation of the Duchy of Bora, Emperor Junyan won't interfere too much in the ruling mode of the country under his command."

"In addition, such a terrifying dragon has never been seen before, and it can turn the tide of the battle with its own strength, sweeping away all the high-ranking existences of our coalition army, and the potential of the other party is unimaginable to us."

The latter-speaking count was more inclined to be loyal to Zachar.

"No matter how strong the potential is, it's just a dragon that is not yet a legend."

"It asks all the rulers of the coastal countries to go to the Limestone Islands to meet them, and if they don't go, they threaten to visit the land in person, hehe, so arrogant, but can it really pose a threat to the coastal countries?"

The Earl, who had just begun, smiled and continued:

"Our country may not be able to withstand its ferocity, but what about the Duchy of Tver? They've got a legend! No matter how strong the King of the Offshore is, it can't escape the fact that it's not yet a legend, and a dozen tens sound strong, but it's not enough to make it stand up to a legend. ”

After hearing this, the other earl directly retorted:

"This is almost everyone's news in the coastal waters, do you think Emperor Yan will not know? But the other side still issued an ultimatum to the coastal countries, you think about what it means, stupid pig with a fat brain. ”

"What do you say? Balding filthy idiots. ”

The two counts' rhetoric became intense, and the argument that began as a well-founded argument quickly escalated to a personal attack on each other.

At this time, the Grand Duke of Quill patted the armrest, and a dull voice interrupted the argument between the two counts.

Under the gaze of a group of nobles from the top class of the country, Archduke Quill pondered his words for a moment, and then said slowly: "There is one sentence that I agree with what the envoy said just now—we are now standing at the fork of fate. ”

After a pause, Grand Duke Quill said in a deep voice: "Whether you choose to be loyal or disobedient, there is a great risk. ”

"But!"

Grand Duke Quill's eyes lit up, and he said, "The risks of different choices are different. ”

"Choose allegiance, if the King of the Near Sea is defeated by the legendary existence of the Duchy of Tver and is expelled or killed, then we will become the laughing stock of the Near Sea and be nailed to the pillar of shame."

"Choose to be disobedient, and as a result, the king of the offshore really has the power to sweep the offshore sea, then judging by the dragon's temperament, what awaits us will be destroyed, and the country will be ruined."

Leaning back on the back of his seat, Archduke Quill spread his hands and said:

"Become a laughing stock, become a shame."

"Destroyed, the country is ruined."

It goes without saying which of these two outcomes is more risky and which is lighter."

After saying that, the Grand Duke of Quill fell silent, quietly watching the reactions of the other nobles.

Below, because of the risk theory of the Grand Duke of Quill, the nobles opened up new ideas, and their faces showed thoughtful expressions, including the Earl, who had previously vigorously opposed the allegiance to Zachar, and was also thinking about it.

After a while, seeing that the nobles under his command were almost thinking, the Grand Duke of Quill said:

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a major matter that will determine the fate of our principality, and I don't want to rule it alone."

"Let's vote, in the face of this now monstrous king of the near sea, the ultimate emperor dragon, whether to be loyal or to contend with it."

Immediately, voting began.

After some time, the results came in.

Of all the nobles present, only three nobles voted to fight against the Emperor, and the rest of the nobles all praised the loyalty.

After seriously considering the consequences and risks of the two options, the Earl changed his original mind and believed that allegiance to the Emperor was a better choice.

"Jeremy, Johnny, Elony."

Looking at the three nobles, Grand Duke Quill sighed, and then spoke: "Thank you very much for your dedication to the country, but now, it's time to end, let's dedicate ourselves to our country one last time." ”

"What?"

The three nobles were stunned.

"Take them down, at this fateful moment, there is no room for error." With a wave of his palm, under the order of Grand Duke Quill, a large number of guards came with a soaring murderous aura.

Meanwhile.

While the Duchy of Quill was making a move, the other Duchies faced the Dragon Emissary from the Limestone Islands, like the Grand Duke of Quell, who abandoned their subjective thoughts and made decisions with rational thinking that only looked at the risks.

Because of the defeat of the alliance of the coastal countries, he has been shocked by the dragon power, and he already has the idea of taking refuge, and after knowing the will of the emperor dragon brought by the envoy, he directly decided to be allegiant.

But there are also those who would rather die than surrender to non-human monsters.

There are also wavering, not knowing what choice to make.

Although they were all rulers of the country, the Grand Dukes of the coastal countries had mixed reactions.

Duchy of Tver.

After listening to the words of the Dilong envoy, the Grand Duke of Tver was very calm, although the coalition army was broken, but he was not afraid, and said: "Want to come to our territory in person? Then come on. ”

"When the time comes, the Principality of Tver will give a grand welcome to the King of the Near Sea."

Ten days later.

Limestone Islands, the large island of Western Asia, on the territory of the Principality of Bora.

Under the gaze of the five Grand Dukes, all of whom had the temperament of a superior person, a majestic golden beast slowly descended from the open dome of the palace.

The behemoth dragon came to his face.

The five Grand Dukes who had seen many big scenes were all slightly suffocated.

Although through remote observation of magic, I have seen the terrifying performance of the Golden Emperor Dragon when the war in the near sea began, but after all, it was through magic from a long distance.

Now facing this immensely powerful Golden Emperor Dragon, all the Grand Dukes felt an invisible and huge terrifying oppressive force.

"Is it really not a legend yet?"

"This kind of coercion, even if it's not a legend, is it almost the same."

Several Grand Dukes came up with this idea in unison.

At the same time, Sagar's gaze swept over the small archdukes in front of him, step by step, until the shadow formed by the huge dragon body enveloped them all.

The Grand Dukes tried to suppress their fear, but their slightly trembling bodies betrayed them.

Satisfied with their reactions, Saga lowered his eyes and said:

"You guys were smart and made the right choice."

After a pause, the dragon's head lowered, and he looked directly at Archduke Raymond and Archduke of Kassel up close, grinned, spewed out a scorching breath, and said:

"You two are very knowledgeable, if you don't come, the first thing I will go to is your country."

The shadows of the nations' activities had already been identified, and the two archdukes were the culprits who had provoked the kingdoms against Zachar in the first place, and had set the crusade like a fuse.

They are the ones who stir up the trouble.

They are the ones who have come to pledge their allegiance now.

The dragon's head, which was larger than his own body, was scorching and heavy with a huge oppressive force.

In the breath of a giant dragon hurricane, the two archdukes almost stood unsteadily, staggering slightly.

Barely steady, a smile squeezed out of their faces, and whispered:

"We are sure that the scale light of the Emperor will eventually shine on the entire coastal sea, and even the whole world."

"It will be a great honor for us to be loyal to you, to bask in your glory, and to live under your dragon wings."

As he spoke, the two Grand Dukes fell directly to their knees, expressing their submission to the golden emperor dragon in front of them like courtiers.

Zachar's head was withdrawn, and then he looked at the other three archdukes.

After a few seconds of silence, the remaining three Grand Dukes also put away the last shred of pride, and like Archduke Raymond and Grand Duke of Kassel, they fell to their knees and bowed in submission.

As the rulers of a country, they have always looked down on the superior beings who have fallen before them.

In the current situation, their feelings are quite complicated, and they finally feel what it is like to be a subordinate.

After leaving some small means in their hearts, Sachar bowed his head lightly and said:

"Get up."

The five Grand Dukes rose one after another.

"You have made the right choice, and as a result, you can still be the ruler of your country, and nothing will change except that you need to obey my orders and contribute your wealth to me regularly."

After a pause, the dragon's eyes narrowed slightly, and he whispered:

"As for the remaining three principalities, they will all pay for their choices."

Of the three principalities that didn't come, one of them was the unsurprisingly Tver principality.

The other two are the two closest principalities to the Duchy of Tver, thinking that relying on the protection of the legendary powerhouse of the Duchy of Tver can not be afraid of the power of the dragon.

The Grand Dukes looked at each other.

At this time, Grand Duke Anies, who was not very optimistic before the crusade began, took a deep breath and said to the majestic beast in front of him:

"Your Majesty, anyone needs to pay the price for their wrong choices, but I hope you can spare those innocent people of the principality."

Saga looked down at the weak Grand Duke Anies, smiled slightly, and said:

"I'm not a demon dragon, and I'm not interested in killing innocents indiscriminately."

After a pause, Saga said in a deep voice:

"I will purge all the high-ranking officials of the principality who have rebelled against my will, and replace them with a group of ruling classes."

"As for the ordinary people of the lower classes, they are about to live under my rule, and they will all belong to me, and no dragon will destroy their property for no reason."

Grand Duke Anies' eyes lit up and he said, "Praise you for your mercy and kindness. ”

Soon after, the five Grand Dukes had left the Limestone Islands and returned to their respective countries.

According to Zachar's order, they immediately began to draw the remaining forces and form a five-nation alliance to prepare for a crusade against the remaining three countries in the coastal seas.

Fate is unpredictable, and the world changes so fast.

The Grand Duke of the Five Kingdoms must not have imagined that he would instead be loyal to the King of the Near Sea, whom he regarded as the target of his crusade.

In addition, the Grand Duke of the Three Kingdoms did not think in advance that they, who were originally crusaders, would have to face the crusade of the King of the Coastal Sea in turn.

The roles have been reversed.

At the same time, in the process of the formation of the Five Nations Alliance in full swing, Saga was leisurely entrenched on the coastal beach of Boulder Island, bursts of white waves rushed on his scales, and a group of beautiful and distinctive maiden waiters around him were wet, gently wiping the beautiful dragon scales for Saga.

"This is the dragon."

The golden dragon closed its eyes and pretended to sleep, enjoying the delicate care of the maidens on their scales.

Suddenly, telepathy flickered.

Saga didn't open his eyes, silently listening to the voice that came to his heart.

"The king of the sea, the ultimate emperor dragon."

"I really didn't expect it, Sachar, it's only been a few years apart, although you are still in the ocean, but your reputation is far and wide, and it has spread to the Yar continent and our ears, this must be you, right?"

Amethyst Dragon's voice sounded from his heart with a thin smile.

Sachar responded:

"It's like a fake."

After a pause, he sighed and said, "Well, is this worth the fuss? I wanted to keep a low profile, but with just a small move, it shocked the world. ”

"Yes, yes, you're the lowest."

Listening to this voice, Saga seemed to see the delicate appearance of the amethyst dragon rolling her eyes at herself.

"Hey, you know me."

"Do you need help, you have become famous recently, and it is estimated that there are a lot of troubles, me and Xia Luoli have reached a high position now, although not as good as you, but they can definitely help."

They are all gifted true dragons, and their high level is not the same order of magnitude as the high level of ordinary creatures.

"I can fix it."

"When my side stabilizes a bit, it's time to go to the Yar Continent to have a look."

Immediately, Saga asked, "Tihir, where are you and Charoli on the Yar Continent, and how are you staying now?" ”

Amethyst Dragon replied, "There are some twists and turns, but overall it's not bad. ”

"During this time, there has been some friction with the rat people who are all over the ground and pop up from time to time, but it has been resolved, and I have also met a spell caster of the Cloud Empire, and with the assistance of the other party, I have built a small city as a habitat, and when you are going to come to the Yar Continent, contact me first, and take a look at my city."

The Amethyst Dragon wants to create a gem dragon city similar to the Deep Sea Dragon City.

She was already beginning to act for her spiritual goals.

"Okay, I got it."

After a brief exchange of old days, the young dragons agreed to meet again on the continent of Yar.

Soon after.

After the alliance of the five nations was united, they began to march towards the direction of the Duchy of Tver.
