Volume 3: Artifacts Chapter 164: Suppressing the Rebellion
Luke did not defend himself against the charges against him. When some Dragon Kings had already formed a subjective impression, any defense would be futile and would instead lead him into an endless argument trap, constantly consuming his already limited prestige.
Since the opposition uses the magic weapon to make a fuss, I will also use the magic weapon to make a fuss.
Sure enough, when Luke said that two of the three charges were related to the artifact, the opposition dragon kings immediately lost their arrogance.
So many dragon kings gathered here, and no one knows which dragon king is the eyes and ears of other forces. Once the secrets of the artifact are leaked, and the Rainbow Arch is eventually unable to return, who can bear the responsibility?
But can we just let King Taotie get away with it?
So many of us dragons came out in droves, and now we are going back in disgrace. How will the dragon descendants view us as the head of the clan?
King Soto, the Silver Ice Dragon, did not expect that King Taotie would not act according to his preset script, and turned from defense to offense, making it difficult for him to catch up.
But he had worked so hard to build up such a great momentum just to overthrow King Taotie. If he was defeated like this, no Dragon King would be able to shake King Taotie's position in the future.
"King Taotie, please do not use the dragons' fear of the artifact to confuse the public. You must give us a satisfactory explanation today. If you cannot... please take the initiative to resign as the King of the Dragon Kingdom. Otherwise, we will overthrow you by force."
Luke laughed and said, “If I step down as the King of Dragon Country, who among you is qualified to be the King of Dragon Country?
Is that you? King Soto!
While you were accusing me of being too close to human civilization, you were quietly getting close to Sky City. Dragons and humans have no hatred. Although the proximity of humans has brought a lot of trouble to dragons, it has brought us more benefits.
But what can the Sky City bring to Dragon Country?
Now that you have met the Sword of Oath, why not talk to the Dragon Kings and tell them what he promised you about becoming the Dragon King? "
Seeing that King Taotie was still holding on to the fact that he had seen the Sword of Oath, King Soto shouted angrily: "I said! I did not sell out any interests of the Dragon Kingdom."
Luke said loudly: "I also said... that's because you are not qualified to sell out the interests of Dragon Country yet! Don't tell us that you went to see the Sword of Oath secretly just to talk about the weather in Dragon Country!"
King Soto defended himself: "I saw the Sword of Oath because we all see humans as a threat to the ancient civilization!"
"Ancient civilization is not a whole. Who started the ancient war? Who destroyed the Shadow Clan civilization without declaring war? Was it human civilization?
Just because you don't like human civilization, you want to overthrow me and tie up Dragon Country and Sky City. It would be a disaster if Dragon Country fell into your hands!"
King Soto was so angry that he roared loudly, and Luke responded with a dragon roar.
King Soto was about to fight, but was stopped by the Dragon Kings who rushed over. His secret connection with Sky City had greatly reduced his prestige in the Dragon Kingdom, and the opposing Dragon Kings did not know what to do for a while.
Luke flew up and reached the highest point of the King's dragon's lair.
“I will give you an explanation for the three so-called crimes imposed on me.
The first one... It is an indisputable fact that human civilization is the most dynamic civilization now. Humans have opened up a new track that does not rely on artifacts in the competition of civilizations and have taken a leading position. Learning from humans does not mean bowing or surrendering to humans. In the process of learning, it is necessary to pay some tuition and some price. However, the harm caused by human activities to dragons is far less than one ten-thousandth of the damage caused by the Golden People and Angels. Now that neither Hell nor the Shadow Clan can be relied on, arming ourselves with the power of humans is the only way out for the Dragon Kingdom.
Don't believe the promises of the Shining Gold and the Angels. If given the chance, they will kill our dragon civilization just like they did the Shadow Tribe."
Article 2 is related to Article 3…
I sent at least one dragon king into the abyss to search for the artifact. He should be my best friend because his dragons are very close to me. But... we all forgot about him, and there is no trace of him left in this world.
There is only one explanation, that the abyss wiped him out. Only the power of the origin of the world could wipe out a great ancient dragon so thoroughly. That is why you think I did not send a dragon into the abyss. "
Luke looked down at the dragon kings.
The arrogance and prestige of the Silver Ice Dragon King Soto were defeated, and no Dragon King dared to debate with the Taotie King. Under the King's dragon power, some Dragon Kings did not even dare to look him in the eye.
Luke continued, "But the search for the artifact did not end with the disappearance of my dear friend. Another friend of mine is also helping to find the Rainbow Arch in the Abyss. I remember her name now, which is good news."
Who is the friend of King Taotie?
The first person the dragon kings thought of was the Moonlight Queen Qingkong, because she also entered the abyss after opening it.
Without the Dragon King to stand up and refute, the accusations against the Taotie King had no basis.
But Luke didn't intend to let the opposition dragon kings go.
"Human civilization is currently caught in a brutal civil war, with countless people dying every day. The reason for this war is that both the Golden Shield Empire and the Shining Gold people want to become the leaders of human civilization.
Failure to reach internal consensus will lead to conflicts and eventually turn into war.
This time, some dragons formed a rebel army to overthrow me and surrounded King's Peak. Although no one wanted to use force, what about next time?
If you guys continue to make trouble like this and shake the king's prestige again and again, then civil war will not be far away in Dragon. Today I will give you a thorough explanation...
If you don't obey me, come and fight me! It's much more cost-effective to kill a few dragon kings or even the king in the King's Dragon Nest than to kill hundreds or thousands of giant dragons in a civil war!"
The Dragon Kings truly felt the rage and murderous intent emanating from King Taotie. It seemed that they could not quell the anger in his heart unless they killed a few Dragon Kings here.
This time, Luke does not intend to continue to the king of the Dragon Kingdom who may be impeached at any time.
Now he would take this opportunity to establish the absolute authority of the Taotie King in the Dragon Kingdom. For this purpose, he really didn't mind killing a few dragon kings. Having a large group of dragons in his hands was also the reason why he dared to do so this time.
The might of the ancient dragon stood like a mountain on the King's Peak. The domineering aura of King Taotie made many dragon kings bow their heads.
King Saier, the Red Crystal Dragon, looked at King Taotie in the sky and couldn't help but sigh: "This is our king. Only such a king can lead the Dragon Kingdom.
King Soto, give up! I know you are just blinded by jealousy, and your heart always belongs to Dragon Country. Look at our king, he is a peak you cannot surpass, and he is the inheritance chosen by the former king for Dragon Country. "
"King Bis..." King Soto looked up at King Taotie, as if he saw a mighty golden dragon. But he quickly turned his head to the side and said to King Saier, the red crystal dragon: "I am indeed not suitable to be the king of the Dragon Kingdom. Using brains does not seem to be the specialty of ice dragons. It takes a smart king to deal with smart enemies. This time, it represents my test for King Taotie.
I'm going back to the Snow Castle. The Frost Dragon Legion shouldn't be destroyed in the fight with the Dragon King.
Tell His Majesty the King for me."
The Silver Ice Dragon King flew up and left the King's Dragon Nest from below the airspace occupied by King Taotie. Soon all the ice dragons in the rebel forces surrounding King's Peak retreated.
With the main force of the rebels gone, the remaining dragon kings in opposition no longer had the courage to fight against the Taotie King. If they went forward to fight, they might really be beheaded by the Taotie King's Blazing Sword.
The dragon kings of the opposition flew away from under King Taotie in shame, taking their own dragon groups with them.
