204: The silver dragon that made the move
Upon hearing this, the Old Ancestor of the Heine Kingdom pondered for a long moment before nodding.
"What you say makes sense. It is highly probable that this matter is inseparable from Arthur and the Lionheart Kingdom!"
"However, as far as I know, the Lionheart Kingdom only has The Three Legends on the surface, even if one of them is a Water Element Dragon."
"Compared to our Heine Kingdom, there is still a significant gap. Where do they get the confidence to oppose us?"
"Regarding this point, have the King and Queen found out why?"
Hearing the Old Ancestor ask for the reason, the King's expression became somewhat awkward.
"This... we are currently unclear!"
"Esteemed Old Ancestors, the Lionheart Kingdom is located in the remote Doreen Peninsula and is isolated from the continent by the Desert of Death, so information is relatively restricted!"
"However, after the incident with Felipe, I have already sent people to investigate. I believe news should arrive in a day or two!"
"In addition, I have also sent people to check the location where Felipe met with the incident; I believe we will find it soon."
"By then, we can also infer the enemy who killed Felipe through the signs of battle."
"Hmm! The arrangements are quite proper and prompt!"
"Although it is highly probable that this matter was the work of the Lionheart Kingdom, it is also possible that other enemies are hidden in the shadows. In any case, do not slack off recently!"
"Before we figure out who the enemy is, do not leave the royal palace, so as not to let the enemy take advantage of any loopholes!"
"Yes!"
Losing two Legendary figures and one Genius all at once, the Old Ancestor of the Heine Kingdom was also deeply pained.
Therefore, to prevent any further accidents, he made such a decision.
Afterward, everyone began to analyze their old rivals to see if it was possible for them to have joined forces.
One hour later, at eight o'clock!
"Except for the Lionheart Kingdom, which we are not familiar with, the reports from spies in other kingdoms show nothing unusual!"
"It seems we still need to focus on the Lionheart Kingdom!"
A Legendary figure from the Heine Kingdom summarized the discussion just now.
"Since that is the case, then let's first..."
Just as the two-thousand-year-old Old Ancestor of the Heine Kingdom was about to conclude the meeting, a peculiar magical fluctuation spread throughout the surroundings of the capital of the Heine Kingdom.
It caused his words to come to an abrupt halt.
The secret chamber where the people of the Heine Kingdom were located had tremendous defensive capabilities, isolated external probing, and soundproofing, but it did not block their ability to probe the outside world.
Otherwise, they wouldn't even know if an enemy snuck into their home while they were holding a meeting!
The strange magical fluctuation caused everyone in the secret chamber to become solemn.
"Legendary-level magic fluctuations, and there is more than one!"
"Damn it, could it be that the people from the Lionheart Kingdom have come knocking on our door!"
...
While everyone was somewhat panicked, the two-thousand-year-old Old Ancestor of the Heine Kingdom remained motionless and said calmly:
"No matter who it is, open the magic array guarding the capital first!"
"Yes, Old Ancestor!"
Upon hearing this, the King, who held the key to the magic array, immediately took it out, infused it with Battle Qi, and activated the magic array!
After completing this step, the group quickly walked out of the secret chamber, wanting to see who exactly dared to come and run wild in their Heine Kingdom.
...
Time returns to two minutes ago.
Under Arthur's orders, five Silver Dragons led by Fiore took advantage of the night to arrive at the capital of the Heine Kingdom.
In order not to attract attention, under normal circumstances, the five Silver Dragons, including Fiore, lived in human form.
Now was no exception!
The five Silver Dragons, or rather, five young girls with silver hair, were currently standing above the capital of the Heine Kingdom.
They coldly scanned the incredibly prosperous capital of the Heine Kingdom, which was as bright as day.
After a while, Fiore, who was in the lead, said:
"It is a pity that because of the unwise actions of some people, all this beauty is about to end!"
Upon hearing this, one Silver Dragon looked excited:
"They actually dared to try and harm Your Majesty; they truly deserve to die!"
Upon hearing this, the expression on Fiore's face also became fierce:
"That's right, they deserve to die!"
"Since Your Majesty sent us to complete this matter, it shows he values us."
"This is also our first mission, so we must finish it perfectly."
"Yes!"
"Act according to the plan!"
As Fiore waved her right hand, the other four Silver Dragons behind her immediately disappeared.
The next second, they appeared in other directions outside the Heine Kingdom's capital, forming the shape of a pentagram.
Then the five of them moved in sync, first each taking out a silver scale the size of a washbasin; these were their own Dragon scales.
Silver Dragon scales are incredibly tough and also possess certain spatial attributes, capable of being used to refine artifacts or set up arrays.
One could see that the scales Fiore and the others took out were covered in mysterious patterns, clearly having been specially processed.
The five of them inserted their respective Dragon scales into the ground and formed hand seals, accompanied by a surging stream of magic power pouring out.
Under the operation of the five of them, a transparent barrier surrounding the entire capital of the Heine Kingdom gradually rose.
Within just a few seconds, it completely formed.
The entire barrier had a radius of a full ten kilometers, which was a super version of the barrier Arthur used during the day.
Not only could it prevent people inside from escaping via spatial magic, but it could also block communications and possessed certain defensive capabilities both inside and out.
It could be described as an excellent helper for exterminating a clan.
Because it was transparent, combined with the cover of night, the vast majority of people in the capital did not realize what had happened.
Only experts at the level of Sky Knight and Grand Magus or above detected the magic fluctuations when Fiore and the others set up the array, knowing something was wrong.
Since they had already prepared their backup measures, Fiore and the others no longer hid themselves!
They successively revealed their strongest combat forms: their Dragon forms!
In an instant, five Silver Dragons, fifty meters tall, appeared above the capital of the Heine Kingdom.
"The damned Heine royal family actually dared to secretly hunt the Dragon Clan. As the inspectors of the Dragon Clan, we Silver Dragons will seek justice for the dead Dragons today!"
"People of the royal family, hurry up and get out here, or we will start a massacre!"
Fiore's words were truly a way to shift the blame, diverting people's attention toward the Dragon Clan.
After all, Arthur himself was human, and it was impossible for him to massacre the entire capital just because the Heine royal family attacked him.
He only intended to kill the royal family and then plunder the wealth of the nobles and merchants in the capital.
He would not touch the commoners.
Otherwise, if the matter became too big, it would attract the personal investigation of a demigod, and Arthur's conscience as a member of the Human Race would not allow it either.
And only killing the royal family meant that what happened in the capital today would eventually spread, so there had to be a reason.
On the other side, as the five Dragons, each like a mountain, appeared above the capital, along with their attitude of looking for trouble.
The entire capital was instantly plunged into panic.
Coupled with the faint Dragon might of Fiore and the others, some timid people were even so scared they lost control of their bowels and bladders.
The originally incredibly prosperous capital immediately fell into chaos!
"It's over, it's over! Five Silver Dragons! The Heine Kingdom simply cannot withstand this!"
"Indeed, we had better run quickly, leave the capital, otherwise it won't be good if we get caught in the crossfire!"
