Dragon Monarch System-20 Chapter 20

“Zayne, that idiot King is going to come today. Make sure to use 5,000 troops and crush him. I don’t have enough time to play with that idiot. Today the Prime Minister of the Zulux Empire is going to come. So take care of that foolish King and end his story today. I don’t want any unnecessary drama.”

“I understand.” Zayne was trying his best to not show any anger. Deep down, he was so angry that he wished to rip this man’s head with his bare hands.

Zayne did as Duke Ryan ordered him to do. He placed 5,000 troops before the city gate. Today the eastern entrance of Zraka city was closed because of the fight that could start at any given moment.

Standing at the top of the wall, Zayne’s heart beat wildly as he waited for the long waited battle to begin. Today, many powerful figures had their eyes set on this battle. Among those people, there was the Goddess of Wealth, Haku (commander), duke Sarlus and some other powerful figures of this continent.

“Today, history will be created.” Zayne looked at the 5,000 soldiers. These soldiers are those who have sworn their loyalty to Duke Eastgard. These soldiers wouldn’t hesitate to kill an innocent. Zayne, specifically choose them to face His Majesty.

While Duke Eastgard was having a meeting with the Prime Minister of the Zulux Dynasty, the 5,000 soldiers who were ready to face Aditya eagerly waited for his arrival.

The whole world seems to have gone silent. Only breathing sounds could be heard. It already has been 3 hours since the soldiers have been standing in formation and waiting for the opponent to show his face.

“When will the enemy come?”

“I don’t know. But I am sick of waiting.”

“We have been standing under the afternoon sun for 3 hours.”

Today the 5,000 soldiers especially looked very excited and energetic. The reason for their excitement was simple. It was rumored that whoever lands the final blow on King Aditya will get a special reward from Duke Eastgard. The thought of Aditya defeating 5,000 never comes to their mind. All the soldiers were more focused on thinking about how they are going to land the final blow and get the reward..

“Do you think we should really stand against the King of Istarin Kingdom?” One of the soldiers felt hesitant. His family lived in the capital and has been under the King’s protection. He felt by standing against the King, he was betraying his family and motherland.

“Of course. We should. After Duke Eastgard takes over the capital, we all will receive more benefits than the current King could ever give us.” Another soldier replied. All the 5,000 soldiers were personally hand-picked by Duke Eastgard. He wanted to make sure that his soldiers would stay with him in any situation and wouldn’t betray him.

The sun was right above their head. Outside the eastern walls, there was 8km of grassy land. The duke often used this huge open field to train his soldiers. Unlike Duke Sarlus, Duke Eastgard gave more priority to the military.

But that doesn’t mean Duke Sarlus’s military power is weaker than Duke Eastgard’s. Both houses had more than a hundred years of history. While the house of Eastgard focused on quantity, the house of Sarlus focused on quality. Sarlus troops were far stronger and more experienced than the troops under Ryan.

“Hey, what is this thing in the sky?”

“Where?”

“Right above you”

Everyone who looked at the sky saw something that they would never be able to forget in their lifetimes. A big shadow covered the sun. For a moment everyone felt like the sun was swallowed up by the shadow.

But after a few seconds, a dark red light began to appear. The dark red light was so intense and bright that the sunlight was replaced by red light. Any person near or around the Zraka city saw this phenomenon.

The people in the city also saw this sudden change. For a moment everyone panicked. As seconds passed, everyone realized that what once seemed like a red shadow that threatened to devour the sun, was actually a dark red flame. The dark red flame looked like some kind of meteor that threatened to destroy the entire city.

“God what is happening?”

“Is this the end of everything?”

“I think this is the wrath of the Gods.”

“What should we do now?”

With each second passing, with the gravity, the dark red flame that looked like a meteor only kept increasing its falling speed. After a few seconds, everyone’s faces turned pale seeing what previously looked like a meteor was actually a 2-meter-long lance that was covered in a giant wave of red flame. The red flame around the lance made it look like some kind of meteor.

“What the hell is this?”

“Can we even survive this attack?”

All the 5,000 soldiers who previously looked very relaxed and occasionally cursed Aditya, now trembled in fear. Their faces turned pale, as their bodies froze in fear.

Zayne coldly looked at the 5,000 soldiers from the top of the wall. As the lance closed the distance, everyone can see that the lance was about to fall on the grassland located on the Eastern part of the city walls.

“Sir, Zayne should we help them?” One of the soldiers asked.

“There is no need. Everything is going according to plan. Prepare for the big impact. Order everyone to take shelter behind the walls.” Saying that even Zayne who was a second-order quickly took shelter behind the walls. The attack was so strong that even a second-order like him had no confidence in surviving.

“Everyone, run back to the city. We can survive if we take shelter behind the walls.” No one knew who said those words. But hearing those words, the soldiers whose bodies were frozen in fear had found some hope of surviving this nightmare. They quickly began running towards the wall but it was already too late.

Not only Zayne had ordered to keep the gates closed but also the lance was only 3 km away from hitting the earth.

Some soldiers realized this and fell to their knees. In the end, they couldn’t understand why low existence like them was being killed.

Just when the lance had a huge wave of 30 meters of red flame covering it was only 1 km away, everyone, even those who were hiding in the city felt the terrifying temperature. Even before the lance could hit the ground, the terrifying temperature of the flame was enough to melt the bodies of the 5,000 soldiers like butter.

Zayne, realizing this high temperature might end up leaving the soldiers hiding behind walls with severe 2nd or even 3rd-degree burns, quickly used all of his powers to form a huge energy barrier covering the eastern walls. 𝙛𝘳𝘦e𝓌e𝗯n𝗼ѵ𝙚l.𝒄𝚘𝑚

“Dammit”

Booooooooom!!!!!!!!

It was like the horror-struck sound that came with a violent earthquake was the painful roar of the earth itself. When the lance was crushed, a huge wave of red flame spread everywhere. The impact was so powerful, that the earth began to crumble and shatter, forming a huge crater.

When the people who were 15 km away from the Zraka city heard the sound explosion that came with the earthquake. However, it was the people of the Zraka city who experienced the wrath of the Crimson Dragon.

The explosion sound was loud enough to cause some ordinary people to faint. The earthquake was strong enough to cause cracks to appear in some new build houses. As for the old houses, those houses broke down as those houses could handle the terrifying earthquake.

Even though Zayne was using his power to keep the red fire wave that spread when the lance impacted the earth, many newly recruited soldiers fell unconscious with blood coming out of their mouths and ears due to the explosion sound.

Ryan Eastgard, a few hours ago started his meeting with the Prime Minister. The Zulux Dynasty has offered its wings to Ryan. By betraying the King, the Zulux Dynasty was going to help Duke Ryan in conquering and overthrowing Duke Sarlus. No one knew that Ryan was going to attack Duke Sarlus. Everything was proceeding in secret with utter caution.

“Your highness, the Zulux King is more than happy to help a fellow ally.” The prime minister spoke in a flattery tone with a hidden sinister smile on his face.

But before Duke Ryan could reply, an earth-shaking earthquake shook the entire city while a mighty roar of the earth caused chaos in the whole city.

“What’s happening?” At this moment everyone who was looking to know the end result of this confrontation had only one question in their mind. What the hell was going on? Today, many figures from the Zulux Dynasty and the Nepoca Kingdom came to watch the fight that was supposed to be known as the most idiotic fight in history. Everyone came even though they knew that foolish king was going to die. No one was expecting to see an attack that was strong enough to injure even a third-order cultivator being used on the soldiers.

10 Km above the sky, a certain figure with long dark blue hair was standing in the sky and looking down. If one looked closely enough they would see that the person’s face had turned pale and lost all of its colors.

“Everything went better than I expected.” Aditya smiled with his pale face.
