205: Desperate crowd

Seeing five great Dragons suddenly appear, and looking like they were looking for trouble, many people immediately considered fleeing.

A panoramic view from high altitude showed an endless stream of people beginning to surge towards the four city gates!

Unfortunately, not only did The Five of Fiaole's transparent barrier set up outside the city block both ingress and egress...

...but the Magic Formation raised by the Royal Family after detecting other external Legendaries also normally sealed the inside from the outside, meaning those people couldn't escape at all.

Of course, while some were running away terrified of death, others were loyal to the Royal Family.

After those loyal to the Royal Family realized that the five Dragons led by Fiore were hostile, they began gathering near the Royal Palace, with the Imperial Guard stationed in the Royal Capital being the most conspicuous!

A total of 100,000 Imperial Guards gathered together was quite a spectacular sight!

...After Fiore issued her threat, the high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom strangely did not appear immediately, until a minute later, when the impatient Fiore was about to directly bomb the Royal Palace with magic.

The high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom, who had been meeting in a Secret Chamber, finally appeared.

They appeared so late because they were terrified by the lineup of five Silver Dragons!

When The Five of Fiaole were setting up the Formation, the high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom noticed the magic fluctuations and initially thought it was just an ordinary Legendary.

But before they could leave the Secret Chamber, the magnificent Dragon Might of The Five of Fiaole had already spread throughout the entire Royal Capital.

Coupled with Fiore's harsh words, the high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom were instantly dumbfounded.

When did they slaughter Dragons? They had actually attracted the Law Enforcers of the Dragon Race, the Silver Dragons—and five of them at that.

Looking at the five genuine Silver Dragons, the high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom subconsciously thought someone must have committed an outrageous act.

After all, Dragons are proud; if they want to attack you, they'll just do it without finding excuses!

But upon second thought, one Dragon could fight at least three Legendaries of the same rank, and hunting one usually required four Human Legendaries of the same rank.

The Heine Kingdom Royal Family only had eight Legendary Experts in total. If four of them went to hunt a Dragon, a mobilization of that scale could not possibly be concealed.

Understanding this point, the high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom realized they had been wronged!

But at the same time, they realized that this matter was beyond their ability to resolve.

Subsequently, the high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom acted decisively and did not immediately leave the Secret Chamber, which was protected by a shielding Magic Formation.

Instead, they quickly tested various escape methods to see if they worked!

Such as Spatial Teleportation, or Earth Evasion!

Unfortunately, no; all escape methods were blocked by a mysterious Magic Formation!

Next, they tried to contact the outside world, hoping to request the Empire's help for mediation, as they truly had not hunted any Dragons in private.

But they discovered that even Magical Communication was cut off by the Magic Formation outside the Royal Capital!

"How can nothing work? Are those five Silver Dragons truly planning to exterminate us?"

A Legendary of the Heine Kingdom couldn't help but cry out!

Having tested numerous methods, the high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom were filled with despair. They understood that the five Silver Dragons had come prepared, and today's situation was unlikely to pass easily!

When they saw that the five Silver Dragons, having found no one, were preparing to magically bomb the Royal Palace...

...they were forced by desperation to finally show themselves!

The oppressive presence of the five Silver Dragons was too intense. At this moment, only the two-thousand-year-old Old Ancestor of the Heine Kingdom could speak without changing expression.

"Respected five Silver Dragon Inspectors, is there perhaps some misunderstanding? I can guarantee that our Heine Kingdom has absolutely not hunted Dragons in private!"

Of course, Fiore knew the Heine Kingdom hunting Dragons was a lie; she was just looking for an excuse.

She scanned the group, found that the six remaining Legendaries mentioned in the Heine Kingdom's records were all present, and nodded in satisfaction. This way, things would be less troublesome!

On the other side, the old Legendary of the Heine Kingdom saw Fiore, the leader, nod, and thought Fiore was agreeing with his statement.

Overjoyed, he said:

"So the Inspectors agree! That's wonderful!"

Unfortunately, before he could be happy for three seconds, Fiore interrupted his fantasy:

"When did I say it was a misunderstanding!

The Heine Kingdom Royal Family has hunted Dragons without cause. The evidence is conclusive. Immediate judgment!"

Then, ignoring the drastic change in expression of the Heine Kingdom officials, Fiore directly commanded:

"Attack!"

"Spatial Lock!"

The five Legendary Peak Silver Dragons cast the spell together. In an instant, the space surrounding the current high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom—six Legendaries and the Queen—was solidified!

It must be known that The Five of Fiaole were already at the Legendary Peak when they received Instillation from Arthur again, making them significantly stronger than typical Legendary Peak Dragons.

Now, the Spatial Lock jointly cast by the five Dragons...

...even the two-thousand-year-old Legendary Peak Expert of the Heine Kingdom could only move slowly, like a three-toed sloth, completely harmless!

Needless to say, the others were completely frozen, unable to move, like people in a vegetative state!

Seeing this, Fiore didn't give the Heine Kingdom officials time to breathe, and continued the attack:

"Spatial Severing!"

Eight crescent-shaped silver light blades appeared. Wherever they passed, space was cut open.

Leaving behind only pitch-black fissures!

Facing these blades capable of severing space, the immobilized high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom clearly had no way to resist.

The spontaneously activated Magic Items shattered instantly upon impact.

Only their desperate eyes remained!

One second later, the heads of the eight high-ranking officials of the Heine Kingdom fell from the sky!

The reason for decapitation was twofold: first, the neck is the most vulnerable point; second, cutting elsewhere might damage the armor, which was loot and thus money!

They could quarrel with anything, but not with money!

With the demise of these eight people, the entire Royal Capital fell silent!

What had they just witnessed?

The kingdom's high-ranking officials, six Legendary Experts, and two Sky Knights, had died just like that, in a matter of seconds!

Those were Legendaries, figures standing at the pinnacle of the kingdom, with lifespans up to a thousand years!

The scene was so surreal that many people in the Heine Kingdom even thought they were dreaming!

At the same time, an indescribable fear gradually spread through everyone's hearts!

"Your Majesty! Old Ancestor!"

But there were also those filled with extreme grief and indignation. A middle-aged man, clearly a Royal Family Direct Descendant, cried out in sorrow and rage as he looked at the eight heads falling from the sky!

This extremely sorrowful cry brought many people who were standing frozen in the Royal Capital back to their senses!

This was followed by another wave of frantic mass exodus, with many people even starting to attack the Royal Capital's Magic Formation, hoping to break the Formation and escape!

Contrary to the majority, the shouting Royal Family Direct Descendant did not flee.

Instead, he looked at the tens of thousands of Imperial Guards beside him:

"Gentlemen, today is a moment of crisis for the kingdom. The kingdom spent years cultivating you, even recruiting you into the Imperial Army, for this very moment. For the kingdom, fight!"

"Fight!"

"Fight!"
