208: The news spread

Hearing this, Arthur was a little surprised. He hadn't expected the Heine Kingdom to be richer than he'd imagined.

The royal capital alone had thirty billion in cash. One must know that when Arthur destroyed the Kate Kingdom, he only obtained 1.6 billion gold coins in cash!

Compared to that, the difference was nearly twentyfold. He couldn't help but exclaim that the Heine Kingdom truly deserved its reputation as a top kingdom on the Continent of Gods; it was indeed wealthy!

As Arthur was marveling, Fiore pointed to a space ring in Arthur's hand and said:

"Your Majesty, this space ring contains some relatively useful items that we specifically stored!"

"Oh? How so?"

"Your Majesty, during our five-person trip to the Heine royal capital this time, we discovered a secret technique no less powerful than the Advanced Knight Regiment secret techniques in your possession!

It's called the Legion Secret Technique, and it can gather the Qi of hundreds of thousands, or even millions, of soldiers to condense into a powerful phantom!

During the Battle of the Heine Royal Capital, the Heine Kingdom's hundred thousand Imperial Guard condensed a humanoid phantom with Legendary Peak strength!

With this secret technique, the millions of Bronze Knights in the Lionheart Kingdom will be able to unleash terrifying combat power!"

Although this secret technique wasn't of much use to Arthur.

After all, he could summon a Legendary Peak expert for a hundred million gold coins, whose combat power was far stronger than a phantom condensed by a hundred thousand, or even hundreds of thousands, of soldiers.

But he still nodded with a smile:

"Indeed, this Legion Secret Technique is good, but it must also have considerable restrictions!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, this secret technique does have restrictions.

I briefly scanned it and found that this Legion Secret Technique, besides only being usable by those who Cultivate Qi.

The army using this secret technique must also possess conceptual things like a military soul or faith, believing in their comrades while also believing that they can be invincible in battle and conquer anything.

Achieving this state requires an army to train together for several years, so it is very time-consuming!"

"Hmm, although there are many restrictions, it can indeed improve the combat power of the kingdom's army. I will pass this secret technique down later. You've worked hard!"

"I wouldn't dare!

Besides the Legion Secret Technique, that space ring also contains more than a dozen forbidden curse scroll of different types, which Your Majesty can replicate later.

Additionally, there are staves and robes used by Legendary Mages, which can be used by Melita, France, and others!"

Dragons do not need to use equipment; their bodies are the best weapons and armor.

And Melita, France, and others, as Legendary Mages, not having corresponding equipment was indeed a bit unseemly.

"You've thought of everything!"

His thoughts racing, Arthur couldn't help but praise her.

Afterward, Fiore explained in detail to Arthur the process of their attack on the Heine Kingdom's royal capital.

After a while, when the two had finished talking, Arthur looked at the several space rings in his hand, thinking it was time to divide the spoils.

Arthur would definitely keep the thirty billion gold coins in cash, which would bring his total gold coins to nearly forty billion. His savings would instantly triple, a significant increase in his net worth!

Suddenly acquiring so much gold, Arthur's mood instantly brightened.

Next were various valuables worth approximately seventy billion gold coins. To avoid revealing their identity as the destroyers of the Heine Kingdom.

Most of these seventy billion valuables would be difficult to sell!

However, some items could be sold for money, such as high-grade magic crystals and ordinary magic scrolls, which are common in the market and have no distinguishing features!

The items that could be sold were worth about twenty billion gold coins, and Arthur directly allocated ten billion worth of items:

"Fiore, you've worked hard on this trip. You should also have a share of the spoils. Each of you gets about two billion gold coins worth of valuables; distribute them among yourselves!"

"It is our duty to share Your Majesty's burdens; we do not seek rewards!"

The refusal of The Five of Fiore was within Arthur's expectations, and he continued:

"Not only will you have a share of these valuables, but I will also record your merits for completing this mission!

Moreover, you are all Legendary Experts; how can you not have a few hundred million gold coins on you? Take them!"

"Yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

Facing Arthur's renewed persuasion, The Five of Fiore no longer objected; instead, their voices were somewhat choked.

Their loyalty to Arthur was unquestionable, so when Arthur showed them concern in return, they were moved several times more than ordinary people!

Arthur saw everything and continued to instruct:

"The matter of the Haimo Kingdom has significant implications. Afterward, not only humans but also the Dragon Clan will likely investigate. You should return to the Lionheart Kingdom and hide; do not come out casually!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

...After arranging for The Five of Fiore, Arthur returned to the inn where Karona and the others were staying and continued to enjoy himself as if nothing had happened!

The next day!

Due to the existence of magic, the speed of news propagation on the Continent of Gods was no less than the internet era of Arthur's previous life!

Although the Yiri Kingdom, where Arthur and the others currently were, was separated from the Heine Kingdom by another country and thousands of kilometers.

The events of last night were being discussed by everyone in the Yiri Kingdom's royal capital by the next morning!

Especially in the lobby of the inn where Arthur's group was staying, there was a lively discussion.

"Have you heard? Last night, the Heine Kingdom's royal capital was attacked by five Legendary Silver Dragons!

Not only did the King and Queen of the Heine Kingdom perish, but even the six Legendary Experts present in the royal capital were killed!"

"I heard about it long ago, and the last two Legendary Experts of the Heine Kingdom's royal family are also missing. They must have met a tragic end!"

"In that case, the Heine Kingdom now only has two Legendary Experts from the two great ducal families left!

Even if they unite, they are only two Legendary Experts and cannot protect the original Heine Kingdom!"

"How glorious the Heine Kingdom once was, yet it was destroyed in an instant. What a pity!"

At this point, those people paused, as if lamenting, then, looking around nervously, they continued:

"I heard that the Heine Kingdom secretly hunted Dragons, which is why such a great calamity befell them. Our Yiri Kingdom shouldn't have such behavior, right!"

"I don't know; even if it does, it's not something people like us can know!"

"That's true...!"

Karona and the other girls had just woken up when they heard such big news, and they couldn't help but stand in the second-floor hallway, listening quietly.

A few minutes later, they understood the situation: it turned out that the Heine Kingdom, which had attacked them yesterday morning, had been annihilated last night!

Such a coincidence made them think deeply!

Coupled with the impression that Arthur's Mutual Aid Society was omnipotent, their curiosity exploded, and they immediately entered the room to ask Arthur.

Arthur had long anticipated all this, and his eyes signaled the Legendary Mage Melita to cast a soundproofing spell on the room!

Doria was the most impatient:

"Brother Arthur, we just heard news about the Heine Kingdom outside..."
