At the national gate, Xayne and the three hundred elite soldiers of the Dracarium were completely surrounded.Armed soldiers from all sides opened fire on Xayne and his men without hesitation.In an instant, gunfire erupted everywhere with loud bangs.Flames shot up to the sky."Kill!" Dragos roared in fury, leading his men as they fought to break through the encirclement.In no time, the area beneath the national gate transformed into a hellish battlefield.Gunfire echoed everywhere as blood splattered across the ground and bodies piled up.Even though they were only three hundred strong, they tore through the thousands surrounding them like a pack of wolves ripping through a flock of sheep under Dragos's leadership. They cut through the enemy seamlessly."Kill!"Dragos bellowed as his blackish-gold dagger flew from his hand. It pierced through the body armor of several soldiers. He leaped into the air, fist clenched, and slammed into the ground with tremendous force.With a

At that moment, a stern-looking old man emerged from the shadows behind the young man. He bowed slightly and said, "Crown Prince, it’s getting late. We should leave. The old Emperor is nearing the end of his life. We need to start taking control of the situation."The young man nodded as he withdrew his gaze and turned away. "I understand, Elder Hilton."As he turned, he suddenly asked, "What’s the situation with the KB Kings Circle?"Hilton responded respectfully, "Crown Prince, the KB Kings Circle’s leader, Klink, caused a disturbance at the Emperor's Pavilion earlier as he disrupted the council. However, it seems to have had no real effect. Xayne has still been appointed as the Grand Marshal. Also, according to the intelligence reports I’ve received, the KB Kings Circle appears to be pulling back for now."The Crown Prince nodded with a faint smile. "The KB Kings Circle’s attempt to influence Drakonia is merely their first probe. In the future, it will be a game of chess between

The Crown Prince frowned slightly and said, "Even if it’s difficult, we must press forward. For the sake of our grand ambitions, Hilton, I’ll need you to give it your all."Naturally, I will do everything in my power to assist you in ascending the throne and governing Drakonia effectively," Hilton replied as he nodded.Back in the Emperor's Pavilion, the old Emperor sat on the dragon throne, his body enveloped in the golden aura of the nation's fortune, appearing like a true dragon on earth. The ministers and generals dared not meet his gaze, trembling as they knelt before him and chanted, "Long live the Emperor! May Drakonia prosper!"The Emperor’s deep eyes swept over the crowd, and with a faint gesture of his hand, he signaled for silence. Drawing strength from the overwhelming aura of the nation's fortune surrounding him, he continued, "The second matter is this: after my death, I require all of you to faithfully obey the new Emperor’s commands and govern Drakonia well. Any betr

Xayne had never seen such an intimidating sight—a thousand heavily armored soldiers.He squinted, and a cold, fierce aura surged around him as he strode forward without hesitation.Dragos and the others wanted to follow, but Xayne shook his head and said, "This is the Ascension Path. It leads directly to the Emperor's Pavillion. None of you hold any position in the Drakonia, so you cannot step onto this path. Wait for me here."Upon hearing this, Dragos glanced nervously at the thousand armored soldiers, shouting, "Drakon King, but…"Xayne turned around as he faced the thousand soldiers in black iron armor already lined up on the Ascension Path.They were less than fifty meters away.The atmosphere around them was thick with tension and gravity.In that instant, the temperature dropped to freezing.Even their breaths felt frozen in the air.Dragos and all the elite fighters of Dracarium stared intensely at Xayne’s back."Dracoguard, are we just going to stand here? What if so

The black-armored soldiers roared in unison and charged at Xayne.In his eyes, there was nothing but overwhelming coldness and bloodlust."Stubborn fools! Since that’s the case, I’ll sever the Crown Prince’s right arm today!"Xayne’s voice was icy as his foot slammed down on the ground. With a thunderous crack, the earth beneath him shattered, and the immense pressure of a Bi-Divine Commander burst out as it swept across the battlefield.The ten soldiers at the front could not withstand the sheer force of his aura. They were blasted backward, vomiting blood, dead before they even hit the ground.Xayne then surged forward. In an instant, dozens of armored soldiers were flung into the air. Their bodies crashed back down like rag dolls, leaving a trail of destruction."Kill! Kill! Kill him!" The general shouted furiously, his voice filled with desperation.Watching Xayne tear through the formation like a human war machine, the general broke out in a cold sweat.He was terrifying.
