CHAPTER 677: Your Majesty, You Can't Ignore Us!
What can seven days accomplish?
If an ordinary citizen were to answer this question, they could provide a long list of answers, as if they could accomplish many things. However, for a king, especially one who may soon face an attack, this seven-day timeframe is truly too short.
The king of the Pagoda Empire feels this way; he thinks these seven days are simply not enough, and he has no idea what to do.
Zhao Hai has now left the Pagoda Empire and is on his way to the Aksu Empire to inform Boric of the news. Although Boric and Zhao Hai have a grudge from the past, his enmity with the church of light is far greater. Moreover, this time, it is the demon clan that is invading. Regardless of their past conflicts, Zhao Hai must deliver this message to Boric, as he is, after all, a member of the human race.
After informing Boric of the news, Zhao Hai has to return to the Leon Empire. He is very aware of the current situation there. The Leon Empire is currently in a state of anarchy, governed by a coalition of powerful nobles. In the eyes of these nobles, Zhao Hai is already the king of the Leon Empire, so he must handle matters here.
Instead of directly entering the Leon Empire from his space, Zhao Hai exits outside the space and stands atop a bone dragon, flying towards the capital of the Leon Empire.
As soon as Zhao Hai arrives over the capital, he is taken aback to hear a sudden cheer erupting from below. Looking down, he sees the ordinary citizens of the Leon Empire standing in the streets, cheering for him.
This situation is quite surprising to Zhao Hai; he did not expect the common people of the Leon Empire to be so fond of him. It leaves him confused. In his perspective, he hasn't done anything significant for them to welcome him this way.
Little does he know, although the Dragon Clan has only ruled the Leon Empire for a short time, the Sub-Dragon Clan's show of power in the city, along with their indiscriminate slaughter of civilians, has caused the people to thoroughly despise the Dragon Clan.
However, the Dragon Clan has always been overwhelmingly powerful, their reputation for invincibility across the continent has made the people too fearful to resist. Now that Zhao Hai has utterly defeated the Dragon Clan, the commoners are naturally very pleased.
Zhao Hai rides the bone dragon directly into the palace of the Leon Empire. As he lands in the palace square, the powerful nobles immediately rush out to greet him. They do not live in the palace but are handling their own affairs. Upon hearing that Zhao Hai has arrived, they hastily come over.
Zhao Hai looks at the nobles standing before him, nods, and says, “Come with me to the main hall; I have something to discuss with you.” He then turns and walks towards the main hall of the Leon Empire.
The nobles regard Zhao Hai without hostility; on the contrary, they are filled with joy. In their eyes, Zhao Hai's arrival at the main hall signifies that his identity is officially recognized, and he is preparing to become the king of the Leon Empire.
Furthermore, since Zhao Hai has returned at this moment, it implies that his battle with the Dragon Clan has concluded? The calm demeanor he displays indicates that he has not suffered any losses, and he possesses sufficient strength to confront the Dragon Clan!
The nobles have not yet considered the possibility that Zhao Hai could annihilate the Dragon Clan. They believe it to be impossible. Even if Zhao Hai is powerful, it is already quite remarkable for him not to suffer losses at the hands of the Dragon Clan, so how could he possibly defeat them?
Arriving at the main hall of the Leon Empire, the nobles follow suit. Zhao Hai looks at the throne in the hall and sighs. However, he does not sit down; instead, he glances at the nobles. The nobles see a glimmer of coldness in Zhao Hai's eyes, and they involuntarily feel a chill run down their spines. They realize that Zhao Hai looks down on them, which prompts them to bow their heads in humility.
