Chapter 284 The National Fortune and Dragon's Roar
In Gotham, while the parade was going on, the incarnation of the gigantic dragon of national fortune was swelling until it was fluctuating above the plaza. It even began declining.
"Something's wrong!" Rendon Scott, in the building right in front of the plaza, frowned and pondered over the situation, but he still kept peace on his face.
The squares of armed troops were on parade as normal, but every soldier was distracted.
"The Dragon never yields!" every soldier on parade yelled in their minds as they marched more firmly. They knew that the Kingdom was weakly guarded since the forces of frontier defense were dispatched to the External Battlefield. As the last ones standing between their homes and enemies, they had to stay moralized all the time.
"Victory belongs to the Dragon!" a Super-God-level commander, ahead of the line, exclaimed with all his strength, highlighted by his military suit and the sharp sword in his hand.
"Victory belongs to the Dragon! Victory! Victory!" every soldier behind the commander spared no efforts exclaiming, going on the warpath and heating up the atmosphere.
People who came to watch the parade became nervous as they also felt that something wrong happened to the national fortune as it was on the decline.
"What's going on? Is there a war again?" everyone felt the vibe here very tense and those soldiers on parade were stressed as if they were going to attend a war.
At the moment, even regular people sensed the tension among the parading squares, not to mention the foreign diplomatic corps who were top executives in their country. All of them started to contact their headquarters. But when the connection was on, they, at first, received news from their headquarters.
"Emergency! The Dragon Military and Heaven Domain carried out raids on the Spaza and the Canedy while distracting us with the parade! The headquarters of the latter two are destroyed. The powerhouses of the Dragon are gone, and we assume other headquarters will be their next targets!" these ambassadors were inundated with information.
All the foreign powerhouses in the Dragon Kingdom gasped for air, their face darkening and looking shocked. They were muttering to themselves that the Dragon Kingdom was firm and resolute to exterminate two strong headquarters within a short time.
Another piece of information said that the Dragon Kingdom started a war on the Battlefield as they were in fierce combat with the headquarters of Lion, Iron Eagle, and Silver Snake after they destructed the Spaza, the Canedy, and the other three middle-and-small-sized posts.
More ambassadors gave gasps of horror and they were too nervous to sit through the whole parade. The Dragon Kingdom, who would have thought, would initiate the second war during the ceremony of the 80th anniversary of its founding? It had been defending the attacks from the Z8 Alliance last time, but this time the sides had switched.
Fears took root in their hearts because the Dragon Kingdom somehow destroyed two headquarters in an instant and confronted Lion, Iron Eagle, and Silver Snake all by itself. Warfare spread across the Battlefield again!
"The Dragon Kingdom, Hayes, Iwan Cliff? Impressive!" the Great Emperor of the Giant Bear Quarter with an unparalleled aura squinted in direction of Rendon Scott who was in the building. Then, he gave some unseeable gestures to the Chief behind him, who later disappeared after a blur of movements.
On the other side of the plaza, the Chief of the Tiger Headquarters narrowed his eyebrowed and also gave gestures to the commanders behind him, who immediately disappeared as well.
"The Spaza is over? Well, nice timing, and it's time for Iron Eagle and Silver Snake to give up something since you've been oppressing the Tiger for decades. Shelton Hayes, good, great!" the Chief of the Tiger Military was overjoyed on learning the opportunity came. Although they were strong on the western continent of the world, their neighbor Iron Snake and Iron Eagle across the sea had been oppressing them. They were excluded from and even got sanctioned by the Z8 Alliance that the two counterparts built in name of pressing down the Dragon Kingdom.
"Haha, things are going intriguingly!" overjoyed, he sent back the message to his headquarters to catch the great opportunity.
Besides the Bear and the Tiger, every diplomatic corp had arranged for the emergency.
Emperor Beus of the Giant Bear Quarter lying on the north of the Dragon Kingdom squinted his eyes and stood up, and then he covered the whole plaza with his peak stage-nine King-level aura.
He took a deep breath and gruffly said to Scott, "On behalf of the Giant Bear, I give you our congratulations on the celebration and we're willing to ally with the Dragon Kingdom! Can we ally together during the ceremony today, Mr. Addison?"
All the other foreign ambassadors were surprised at Emperor Beus showing his goodwill to the Dragon Kingdom at its toughest time, for the Giant Bear Quarter was a strong headquarters full of powerhouses and top-tier legions and equipment. Compared to the Lion Kingdom, it was slightly weak, but stronger than the Silver Snake and the Iron Eagle.
Since the Dragon Kingdom's national fortune awakened, its strength had been increasingly built up to match the Silver Snake and Iron Eagle. If the Immortal Forces in the Kingdom were on the side of its Military, the Dragon Kingdom would not eat dust when facing the Giant Bear Quarter one day.
So, the alliance of the two headquarters would change the rules of the world in many ways.
Scott was shocked, for it left him in a dilemma that would lead the Dragon Kingdom to an arduous struggle if he chose poorly. If the Kingdom was trapped in a seesaw battle, it would cause great loss to their national fortune and strength. The warfare on the Battlefield with the eight External Military Headquarters was still under control, but if any external factors prolonged the war, that would be a disaster for every Military Headquarters in the world.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
After Emperor Beus finished talking, the void around the plaza started trembling while Scott was hesitating. What normal people couldn't see was that nine stage-nine King-level guardians of the rules showed up around the place.
The nine guardians all shoot their eyes at Scott in the building, their face darkening. If he agreed to ally with the Giant Bear, it would be a bomb to the world. All of this happened in an instant, and Emperor Beus was a great emperor.
At the time, all looked at Rendon Scott and Emperor Beus, awaiting their replies.
