The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 1120 - 1117 Willing to Surrender

Unsurprisingly, Edward Deep Red Gem, even mounted on a dragon, could not overcome Mountain Copper Dragon Mata, let alone face the Half-Step Barrier Knight Liszt.

However, the real surprise was when Edward saw Liszt approaching, he surrendered immediately: "King Liszt, I am willing to submit to you!"

"Submit, I don’t need submission." Liszt coldly refused.

"I am willing to submit to you like Duke Grey Iron Piero Grey Mouth Iron did initially, leading the Crimson Gem Family to allegiance with the Flame Kingdom... I have already reached an agreement with Red Honor, I will peacefully separate from it. As for whether Red Honor will become a dragon of the Flame Kingdom, that requires Your Majesty to personally communicate."

Having said that, he stood up and left the Dragon Tooth Platform of the Crimson Gem Dragon.

The Crimson Gem Dragon cried out sorrowfully, it was unclear whether it was lamenting over its knight’s abject surrender or its inability to maintain its dragon pride, or perhaps both.

"Can a dragon and a dragon knight truly separate normally?" Liszt’s gaze briefly showed a hint of curiosity.

"I don’t know, but Your Majesty, you have ridden dragons successfully multiple times, I believe you have your ways… Even if this process seriously injures or even kills me, it does not matter. I am not afraid of death; I only hope to die with value, the Eagle Kingdom is doomed to fall, and the Crimson Gem Family needs a new king to follow."

"I can’t judge the truth of your words, but the proposal is interesting, so I accept." Strength gave Liszt a solid confidence, unafraid of any underhanded tricks by Edward, "Now I need to clean up the battlefield, you and the Crimson Gem Dragon follow me."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Edward sat cross-legged on the back of the Crimson Gem Dragon, looking submissive.

Liszt turned around, smiling.

No matter how lofty Edward’s words were, considering the interests of his family, they could not erase his cowardly demeanor, and equally despised was the Crimson Gem Dragon—perhaps dragons are proud, but pride has its limits, both man and dragon influence each other, and no one can guarantee against corruption.

For instance, if someone else rode Fire Dragon Leo, they might be corrupted by Leo’s malevolent thoughts, turning into an evil murderer.

Of course.

None of this mattered anymore, as a man destined to rule the Legendary Continent, he understood the concept of inclusivity. As long as it didn’t undermine the fundamental societal structure, nobility was always needed to sustain his rule. Whether the Crimson Gem Dragon was accepted well or the Crimson Gem Family’s allegiance, it was all to ensure sufficient taxation.

Once he unified the Tri-Nation Alliance, what faced him next would be the three great empires, needing ample knights to maintain his rule and produce resources.

Boom!

"Roar!"

A sorrowful dragon’s wail echoed in the distance; the Topaz Dragon chose a final release, seriously injuring the Light Green Gem Dragon in the process and plummeting into the ocean expanse.

Mermaids released magic to envelop its corpse, preventing the loss of magic.

White Heart Iron Dragon Knight - Auden Platinum, along with the Azure Sapphire Dragon, frantically fled, but Ceased the chase upon Liszt’s signal.

Riding the Unicorn Charlie, she, along with other giant dragons, helped Lady Hippolyta crush the fleeing Lead Dragon.

Thus.

A sudden dragon-slaughtering battle ended swiftly, as Tracey Bloody Pelican, Warren Upside-Down Golden Bell, and Robert Lance, three dragon knights, died in battle, the Lead Dragon, Silver Dragon, and Zinc Dragon were all captured, the Topaz Dragon fell entirely, and Crimson Gem Dragon Knight - Edward Deep Red Gem surrendered.

As an ending unfolded.

"Four dragons, will consume four Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits, just right, with the Topaz Dragon dead, four more Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits can be cultivated… I wonder if there are dragons that can complete the Mind Battle without Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruits... Unless extreme measures are taken, it is unlikely."

These dragons were not "young" or "fresh" dragons but had already the Mind Branding imprinted, without the power of Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit, it would be difficult to erase the Mind Branding of the First Dragon Knight.

Initially, Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan was the only Giant Dragon who did not use the Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit and yet completed the Mind Battle.

But back then, it was barely possible because the Jade Dragon Leg continuously drained Ethan’s flesh and soul, unless Liszt continued such inhumane treatment towards the Lead Dragon, Silver Dragon, and Zinc Dragon, otherwise it would not have been successful.

"Let’s just forget it, deepening the hatred of a few dragons towards me is one thing, it would also greatly damage their vitality. Now is the time I need to snowball, the sooner they become combat-ready, the better... and with the presence of the Jade Dragon Leg, inevitably there will be dragons that die in battle continuing to nurture the Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit."

By battle foster battle, the Bewildering Dragon Mind Fruit is barely sufficient.

Looking at the now calm sea, Liszt closed his eyes and felt, the bewildering Power of Destiny around him growing stronger, giving him a sense of domination.

It seemed no longer the Power of Destiny guiding him, but he was beginning to control the Power of Destiny.

"The future has become blurred, but this blurriness is not caused by the weakening of the Power of Destiny; on the contrary, it is because the Power of Destiny is getting stronger, allowing me to write my own future... Alas, how immense was the Power of Destiny possessed by the Smoke Dragon in its earlier levels?"

A thought suddenly arose in his heart: "The confrontation between the Sacred Dragon and the Magic Dragon, was it the Smoke Dragon being deeply trapped by the Power of Destiny, betraying the humans of this planet, leading to the invasion of the Moon Dragon; or did it sense something from the Power of Destiny, decisively choosing to resist up to the moon?"

In his heart, he always felt that he should not be an evil being, that the Smoke Dragon should not be an embodiment of evil, he always doubted the content in the murals of Mount Mulagao Ding.

He shook his head.

He stopped pondering blindly.

Now is the time to tally the results of the battle, a time to celebrate the harvest.

...

This day, this Dragon Slaying battle, will surely resound through the northeastern corner of the Legendary Continent, all Nobles and Knights will discuss this battle.

And contemplate, consider what situations might occur in the future.

The first place to start, is Flame King City.

"Long live His Majesty the King!"

"Great His Majesty the King returns triumphantly, bringing with him the spoils of four dragons, along with captured Dragon Knights!"

"Princess Emily slays the Topaz Dragon!"

"Lady Hippolyta crushes the Lead Dragon!"

"His Majesty the King surpasses all Dragon Knights combined, his strength is unimaginable by anyone, boundless and bound to dominate the entire Legendary Continent!"

When the Lead Dragon, Zinc Dragon, Silver Dragon were brought to the back mountains of Day Moon Valley in Flame King City, when the corpse of the Topaz Dragon was dragged across the sky by the Fire Dragon, when the dragons returned to Sun Mountain and Moon Mountain, the entire Flame King City quickly boiled over. Nobles and commoners alike rushed to the streets in jubilation.

The news spread like a shockwave at blinding speed to every city in the Flame Kingdom, government officials in the precincts, nobles in manors, all went crazy for King Liszt’s great military achievements.

"Every time, every time His Majesty the King will defeat more Dragon Knights, the sky, land, and sea, the glory of our King is destined to spread everywhere, I deeply believe starting from Fresh Flower Town!" Marcus, the leader of the Black Horse Knights, raised his Knight’s Longsword.

Facing the Knights who were lined up taking oaths, he shouted loudly: "For the glory of His Majesty, we pledge, to charge to death, to trample the Eagle!"

"Charge to death!"

"Trample the Eagle!"

The knights of the Black Horse Knights, under the leadership of Marcus, chanted slogans and headed towards the Magical Gate of Reed City, ready to set sail for the Eagle Kingdom to wage war.

After the Dragon Slaying battle, came the issuance of the Punishment Order, the time to start plundering resources.
