The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 1122 - 1119: King and Grand Duke

"Your Majesty, negotiations with the Flame Kingdom are imperative." When Prince Alex arrived at the royal palace and saw Adonis, his first words were to persuade him to negotiate with Liszt.

"Why, Alex, do you also want to see me fail?"

"Your surname is Moonlight Silver, mine is White Maw Iron, but we are both from the Eagle Royal Family. Your embarrassment is no different from mine." Alex looked at the Eagle Kingdom’s King, who seemed to have aged twenty years in a moment, and sighed helplessly, "I have never been in favor of the Tri-Nation Alliance."

"But you voted in favor of the Tri-Nation Alliance initially."

"That’s correct." Alex spoke frankly, "Although I did not believe that the Tri-Nation Alliance could truly curb the Flame Kingdom, or rather curb Liszt’s rise, if we do not make an effort, we cannot just watch the Eagle Kingdom being gradually devoured by the Flame Kingdom... Now that the Dragon Rider Corps is in ruins, the Tri-Nation Alliance no longer has meaning—we need to face reality."

Adonis remained silent for a long while and then said dejectedly, "What kind of reality?"

"Liszt has already become the most powerful Dragon Knight in the northeastern corner of the Legendary Continent, no, he should be the most powerful Dragon Knight in the entire Legendary Continent. I do not know how strong he truly is, but from the way he easily slaughters Dragon Knights, he has far surpassed a Completion-term Dragon Knight… Moreover, he is not fighting with a Formless Dragon, but a Fire Dragon!"

"Emperor Jupiter also has Elemental Dragons, Dark Dragons."

"It’s not the same. I asked the envoy from the Kushan Imperial; Elemental Dragons indeed have formidable combat power, but at best, they are only at the level of Magic Metal Dragons, Royal Sapphire Dragons. The Fire Dragon might be slightly more dominant. Liszt’s strength is not merely due to Elemental Dragons."

"I don’t understand what you’re saying, Alex. I am not a Dragon Knight, but aren’t Dragon Knights the pinnacle of strength?"

"If Dragon Knights were truly the pinnacle, so many of our Dragon Knights would not have died." Alex shook his head, "I am also reluctant to believe that there are existences more powerful than Dragon Knights, but with Sacred Dragons already appearing, why couldn’t even more powerful knights emerge?"

Images of his several exchanges with Liszt flashed through his mind. Despite Liszt’s handsome and noble appearance, seemingly a natural-born greatness,

No matter how exceptional his appearance was, he could not bring himself to believe or accept that Liszt’s strength was beyond his comprehension.

But disbelief changes nothing. The obliteration of the Dragon Rider patrol is right before us. The panicked King Oden personally recounted the horrors of Liszt.

Three shots to kill a Dragon Knight, and two strikes to subdue a Giant Dragon.

An unimaginable strength.

Adonis looked at Alex, clinging to the last shred of hope, and asked: "Duke Buffett from the Kushan Imperial is coming with an Ancient Artifact to assist the Tri-Nation Alliance, Alex, perhaps I have not lost yet, the Eagle Kingdom has not lost yet!"

"Not to mention that Duke Buffett is just a Dragon Knight; even if he comes with an Ancient Artifact, how can he defeat Liszt, who surpasses Dragon Knights? Even if he could defeat Liszt and curb the development of the Flame Kingdom, the Eagle Kingdom no longer has any dragons."

He paused briefly.

He stepped forward and patted Adonis’s shoulder: "The current situation is not your fault, no one could have changed the situation we find ourselves in." His words of comfort were filled with bitterness, indicating a kind of inevitable defeat, not just for Adonis, but even if it were the kings of Blast Furnace Fortress and Steel Ridge, what could they possibly do.

The Eagle Kingdom is merely the first to fall.

Faced with the aggressive Flame Kingdom, Alex soberly realized that the Tri-Nation Alliance was like weaklings comforting each other, Magical Beasts huddling together before a Giant Dragon.

All of a sudden,

He took a deep breath, and in an indisputable tone, said: "Your Majesty, I know this is difficult, but I still hope that you, as the King of the Eagle Kingdom, will preside over one last meeting, discuss the future of the kingdom with the ministers, and face the existential crisis at hand."

"How so..." Adonis gave a wretched smile, "After this meeting, will I be leaving my throne?"

"Not leaving the throne, it’s just that the Eagle Kingdom’s throne might turn into a common Grand Duke’s seat."

...

"The Eagle Kingdom’s ministerial meeting is actually discussing the matter of submitting to my Flame Kingdom?" When Liszt received the message, he was descending from the Silver Dragon’s Dragon Tooth Platform.

The Silver Dragon, lurking in the Sun Moon Valley, flickered a complex emotion in its eyes without making a sound.

"Your Majesty, the Blood Servants are closely listening to the content of the ministerial meeting, and when there is new progress, I will report to you immediately," Mary Dawn Break respectfully said.

"Hmm, keep a close watch on every move of the Eagle Kingdom, and don’t forget about Steel Ridge and Blast Furnace Fortress Kingdom; what reaction will King Osborne and King Helder have after knowing the news." He touched the beautiful scales on the Silver Dragon and smiled, "That will definitely make an interesting scene."

"As you wish, Your Majesty." Mary took her leave.

Liszt locked eyes with the Silver Dragon and said softly, "I know you are a Silver Dragon nourished by the Eagle Royal Family, a symbol of the Eagle, but now you are a Dragon of the Flame Kingdom. During the time I swallow the Eagle Kingdom, rest and heal your wounds, afterward, you and I will face Blast Furnace Fortress and Steel Ridge together."

Huff.

The Silver Dragon took a deep breath, showing no other reaction, but this was already an expression.

Leaving the Sun Moon Valley, Liszt also sighed deeply: "I thought I controlled fate and could save some Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit, but it turns out... even the Mind Battle of the Crimson Gem Dragon needs the help of Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit to erase the Mind Branding of the First Dragon Knight."

Half of it was a sigh for the consumption of the Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit, and half was because he did not control "fate" as smoothly as he imagined.

Silver Dragon, Lead Dragon, Zinc Dragon, and Crimson Gem Dragon, these four Dragons have successfully, with the help of Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit, completed the Mind Battle and become his Giant Dragons.

Including the earlier Fire Dragon, Light Green Gemstone Dragon, Formless Dragon, Grey Iron Dragon, Mountain Copper Dragon, Royal Sapphire Dragon, Water Dragon, Aluminum Dragon, Bone Dragon, Bronze Dragon, the Flame Kingdom now has fourteen Dragons. It has leaped past the Steel Ridge Kingdom to become the kingdom with the most dragons in the northeast corner of the Legendary Continent.

"First, digest the Eagle Kingdom."

...

Thrilling matters can be set aside since the sweeping dragon-slaying battle along the coastline, after which the Flame Kingdom emerged completely victorious.

Liszt’s reputation then blew like the wind across the northeast corner of the Legendary Continent.

It caused a significant disturbance, especially among the Noble class of the Eagle Kingdom, who nearly crumbled like fallen pillars, lost and bewildered. Except for the Crimson Gem Grand Duchy, all other vassal states of the Eagle Kingdom sent envoys to offer tributes secretly to the Flame Kingdom.

Hoping to become vassal states of the Flame Kingdom and follow behind Liszt.

"Your Majesty, regarding the tributes from these vassal states, do you have any plans?" Li Weiliam asked.

"Now they want to follow me," Liszt glanced at the tea cup on the table, "Why didn’t they act sooner... Let the Outer Cabinet draft a proposal, devise a tax plan that each vassal state can accept, paying taxes to our kingdom can obtain temporary protection."

He paused, then picked up the tea cup and took a sip of fresh green tea, and said, "Let’s address the following of vassal states after I sort out the Eagle Kingdom."
