Beastio roared, trying to mediate the situation. However, Matt pointed at Henry and accused, "You conspired with the people from Drakonia to gather our troops here, deliberately weakening our military strength. You are truly despicable."Henry suddenly realized. "No wonder the Silver Snake Squad's surprise attack failed. We fell into your meticulously laid trap. Matt, I understand now. You plan to exhaust our military forces first and then hold us hostage."The analysis from Henry made sense, intensifying the already existing mistrust. Tensions rose higher."We must fight them now. If we don't, they will wipe us out!" Matt's furious shout instantly disintegrated the Eight-Nation Alliance.Half an hour later, gunshots rang out in the conference room. Soon, only Henry and Beastio remained standing while everyone else lay dead in pools of blood.Meanwhile, a fierce battle among the eight armies ensued at the border. Many foreign troops had come only to capture Xayne and were poorly

The Emperor fell silent for a moment before replying, "Great Elder, I haven't informed the KB Kings Circle yet.""You haven't informed them?"The Great Elder tensed at the news, then relaxed as he seemed to understand something. "Your Majesty, I understand your reasoning. However, the survival of the nation is at stake. The KB Kings Circle must also shoulder the responsibility. If they make excessive demands after the war, I will negotiate with them."Hearing this, the Emperor nodded. "In that case, I will follow the Great Elder's guidance."The Great Elder nodded, then looked up at the sky and asked, "Who is attending the external warriors' meeting this time?""Xayne, the supreme commander of the 300,000-strong Dragonbreakers Legion, has reached the level of a Senior Divine Commander," the Emperor said, his face filled with uncontrollable excitement and pride."Xayne? A Senior Divine Commander? How old is he? Why haven't we heard of him before our seclusion?"The Great Elder'

Everyone knew deep down that the exceptional genius of the Xavier family had endured the premature baptism of national fortune to protect Drakonia and slay the returning major battlefield warriors. However, this also led to the subsequent dark events, making it a subject too sensitive to discuss openly.The third Emperor had ordered that this event be sealed in Drakonia's secret history. Everyone who participated in that war was given a death order to keep silent, under penalty of death for their entire family if they spoke a word.From that point on, Drakonia reassessed the Xavier family. Their bloodline was deemed uncontrollable. Once out of control, they became like bloodthirsty demons, with crimson eyes and an aura of bloodlust, driven only by the urge to kill. Consequently, members of the Xavier family could serve as generals but were forbidden from becoming rulers or advancing to higher levels of power. They were also prohibited from undergoing the baptism of national fortune

It was said that he was a relative of the Queen of the Fran Empire.Immediately, the attendants who had come with the Fran Empire’s general jumped up in anger. They were rushing to check on his injuries while shouting furiously at Xayne, "How dare you assault our prince?! We will sentence you to death!"However, Xayne remained unfazed while glaring coldly at them. "This is just a small lesson. Tell your prince that Drakonia is no longer the weak nation it was a hundred years ago. You have no reason to be arrogant or to judge Drakonia in my presence."He continued, "For five thousand years, except for that one century, every dynasty, every era of Drakonia has not been something people like you could look down upon or covet. Even that century of humiliation is a brief chapter in Drakonia's long history. In the future, Drakonia will rise again and reclaim its place at the pinnacle of the world!"These statements resounded so powerfully that it was shaking the entire conference room.

Orison frowned. This was a blatant show of disrespect toward him. The return of the top fighters from the Four Battlefields outside the country was an event that all twelve nations had to attend. After all, if any of the returning champions from Drakonia found out that their representatives were absent, there would be trouble for everyone involved.That was why Orison looked so troubled. This was a test, a choice given to him by Xayne."Mr. Orison, what should we do now?" asked the representative general from the Imperial Garmen Empire, frowning.Others chimed in. "Mr. Orison, if Drakonia doesn't participate, it might cause unnecessary trouble...""What now? Do we continue the meeting?"Everyone looked at each other with indifferent expressions. After all, it was Orison who had made the comments, not them.Orison was silent for a moment before he turned to his assistant. "Go and invite the King of the North back.""Yes, sir."The tall, attractive white woman in high heels swa
