The Almighty Dragon General novel Chapter 1039

Chapter 1039

James asked about Mr.Gabriel, and the King’s expression turned solemn.He took a cigarette from the table, lit it, and inhaled deeply.

Smoke filled the air in front of him.

After some time, he began to speak slowly.

"When discussing this, one should begin a century ago."

James was intrigued upon hearing these words.He always had a limited understanding of what had happened a century prior.He only knew that one hundred years ago, the first King of Sol had teamed up with the ancient martial artists of Sol to encircle and destroy the Gu Sect.

It was said that countless lives were lost in the battle.

"A hundred years ago, aggressors started an invasion.Sol was in terrible distress.In every region, resistance forces were formed.Among the numerous resistance forces, the brigade led by the Gu Sect was the most powerful.However, the Gu Sect did not have pure intentions.Not only did they want to drive out the aggressors, but they also wanted to retaliate by occupying the hostile nation and attempting to unite the whole world.

"Furthermore, the Gu Sect’s strategies were sinister.They made use of Gu venom to confuse and poison people’s minds.

"In the end, all regions of the nation came together and expelled the aggressors.The Empire of Sol was established, but it was far from peaceful in the nation.The head of the Gu Sect’s Maverick family advocated seizing this opportunity to expand the territory and lead an army to launch an attack on the entire world.

"Others believed that since Sol had only recently been stabilized, it should heal and increase its population.It was inappropriate to start a battle, but the conflict with the Gu Sect eventually took place.

"During this battle, the first King of Sol joined forces with martial artists in Sol.

With Mount Thunder Sect as the leading force, combined with the other two families of the Gu Sect, they surrounded and attacked the Maverick family.

There were countless casualties in that battle.

Even the Mount Thunder Sect Leader at the time was tricked, poisoned with Gu venom, and died in battle.

"After that, the King was still concerned about the other two families and thought that the Gu technique shouldn’t have existed at all.So, he wiped out the Davis family and the Owen family as well.Since then, Gu Sect disappeared without a trace.

"However, the Gu Sect Leader at that time might have already guessed that the King would attack him, so he gave himself a way out.During the battle that year, Callan Maverick, the Gu Sect Leader, managed to escape.The person who died was simply his underling impersonating him."

He cast a glance at James as he said this.

"But now the opportunity has arrived."

James became deeply absorbed in his thoughts as well.

The King's words were generally reliable, because James knew about Reign Maverick.That was the person who poisoned him with Gu venom at Mount Thunder Pass at the time.

Still, he did not understand why Reign chose to merely poison him with Gu venom rather than kill him immediately, as the Emperor would have doubtlessly done.

Was that not just providing him with a chance to survive? Then there was his grandfather.

According to Maxine’s speculation, the person behind the Emperor was his grandfather.

If that were the case, then his grandfather might be an ally of Mr.Gabriel.
