Western Fantasy Lord: Starting with Daily Intelligence

Chapter 72 The Price of Becoming King

Connors led Vanessa and Vivian away discreetly, keeping his eyes fixed on his duke father.

Hopefully, his composed demeanor wasn't an act, otherwise the entire Giant Wall City could be wiped out today.

Although he had never seen a Sky Knight fight, the sheer aura they exuded completely robbed him of any desire to fight, demonstrating just how terrifying they were.

Everyone stared at Theodore nervously, their hearts pounding in their throats.

One against three, the Duke is at a disadvantage.

Theodore glanced at the three men, his tone flat:

"Sun Knight, King of Light, and a patriarch of the Sun God Cult, you really went to great lengths to kill me."

"I advise you to use whatever trump cards you have as soon as possible, or you'll miss your chance." The white-eyed youth said with a playful expression, toying with a white ball of light between his fingers. The ball of light nimbly circled around his fingers, repeating itself endlessly.

"Is that so? Then I won't hide it anymore."

A voice came from the crowd, followed by a powerful aura that rose up and turned into gusts of wind, standing in opposition to the three auras in the sky.

The crowd quickly cleared a space, where a refined-looking man in elegant clothes stood with a smile on his face.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 20 ...

Someone exclaimed:

"My God, isn't this Grand Duke Fernando Baron of the East?!"

The three people in the sky frowned.

The appearance of the Duke of the East was something they had not anticipated.

But before they could prepare, another powerful aura rose up.

From the clouds, a beautiful, mature woman dressed in snowflake-patterned knight armor slowly descended. Her ice-blue knight sword was engraved with beautiful ice roses and inscriptions of unknown meaning. Her eyes, like shattered ice, coldly stared at the group.

Wow...

A commotion arose from the crowd.

"My God, I must be dreaming. Even the Grand Duke of the North has come."

"This must be the blessing of the God of Nature."

The faces of the people in the sky had now darkened.

But it wasn't over yet. Another powerful aura rose from the top of Lionfire Fortress, accompanied by a mocking tone:

"Fool, now you're dumbfounded, aren't you?"

Everyone turned to look and saw a figure dressed in a magnificent green robe with a haughty expression appear on the tallest building of Lion's Fortress.

"God of Nature, am I dreaming? All four Steel Dragons are here!" The guests felt that everything before them was so dreamlike that they couldn't help but feel that the world was illusory and unreal.

Connors relaxed, secretly letting out a sigh of relief.

I knew my dear Duke father was very reliable.

At this moment, the three people in the sky had grim expressions; this sudden turn of events was something they had not anticipated.

What puzzled them even more was that the plan had been in preparation for a year, and many of the moles who had been working silently in Steel Dragon for years had been mobilized. How did they manage to find out about it in advance?

Could it be that there's a spy?

The three people in the sky tacitly had this thought.

Theodore, with his hands behind his back, rose into the air and said calmly:

"Do you have any last words?"

Sun Knight's face twitched; he hadn't expected karma to come so quickly.

He looked around and found that the four dukes had surrounded them.

"Are you planning to start a war here? A battle at the Sky Knight level, and Giantwall City will be reduced to ruins," he threatened.

They never expected that the Great Wall City, originally intended to restrain the Lion King, would now become a protective barrier for them.

At that moment, a gentle voice came from within the Great Wall City.

"Please, dukes, do not hesitate, I will take care of Giant Wall City."

Everyone turned to look, their gazes traversing countless distances, and saw the lush and vibrant Holy See, where a gentle and mature woman held an ancient wooden staff, her body surrounded by a pale green magical glow.

next second.

Boom! Boom! Boom! The earth shook violently.

Countless giant trees grew from all parts of the city, intertwining themselves and transforming into a giant bowl that covered the entire walled city.

The King of Light sighed, concluding the mission: "Gentlemen, this mission has failed. Whether you return alive depends on your own abilities."

After saying that, his body transformed into countless photons, shooting off into the distance like a shooting star.

But will the dukes really let him leave so easily?

The first to move was the Grand Duchess of the North. Her icy eyes were devoid of any emotion, and a wisp of frosty breath escaped from her mouth, causing the air around her to freeze with a crackling sound.

Absolute zero!

......

Inside the tree bowl, all the residents of Giant Wall City couldn't help but shiver.

Vanessa's face was pale, and her body felt a bone-chilling cold, like the inescapable chill of someone who is ill.

Vivian's tail bristled as she stared intently at the top of the tree bowl.

Connors's face froze. His power was suppressed, and he shrank back as if he had encountered some kind of natural enemy, feeling very uncomfortable.

On his unseen back, icy blue snowflake marks glowed, and Ice Seed flew out from them.

"Bingdi, why are you awake?" Connors asked in surprise.

Icebeam's little face was serious as it looked at the top of the tree bowl: "I sensed the aura of the Ice Spirit King."

Suddenly, the tree bowl trembled violently, and powerful shockwaves collided above it, causing numerous branches to fall. Sunlight streamed through the gaps between the branches into the giant walled city, like the dawn of the apocalypse.

Immediately afterwards, several powerful pressures erupted simultaneously, their terrifying aura resembling the might of the heavens.

For a time, the city of Giant Wall trembled violently, and a large number of tree branches fell from the sky.

But Connors astutely observed that when those branches broke off, new branches immediately sprouted, and they were even thicker and stronger.

Is this magic...? He couldn't help but ponder.

The battle lasted a long time, but later the battlefield shifted to outside the city and eventually disappeared from sight.

......

The next day, in the study.

Connors was summoned here early in the morning.

Theodore Jon sat behind his desk, impeccably dressed and with his hair neatly combed, as if the great battle of yesterday had never happened.

"The main target of this attack by the Sun Empire was me. Although they did not capture the Sun Knight and the King of Light, they seriously injured both of them. They will not make any moves for a while."

Connors asked in bewilderment, "If they weren't after war, why did they attack you?"

Theodore pondered for a moment: "Their target is the Flame Elf King within me. Each elf species can only have one Elf King. To advance to Sky Knight, one must either find an elf species that does not yet have an Elf King, or kill the Elf King of that species."

Connors suddenly realized, "So that's how it is."

This is too cruel. Is this the price of becoming king? Being an elf isn't easy either...

"The Blazing Sun Empire is very powerful. If it weren't for your intelligence this time, they would most likely have succeeded," Theodore said.

"Whatever reward you want, as long as it's not excessive, I can grant it to you."

Connors' eyes lit up, and he blurted out:

"I want land!"
