Chapter 1412 You Don’t Want Anger A Dragon (1)
?”He is not an enemy!” Gracia raised his hand, stopping the elf’s army with just a simple gesture, “He is Goddess Lunea’s guest!”
General Sione also hesitated. Even though Goddess Lunea was a human, the elves worshiped her just like they worshiped The World Tree. In fact, some people believed more in Goddess Lunea than the World Tree for the fact of her presence, protecting them with the barrier she set up.
General Sione was one of them. The reason he came here was under The King’s command, telling him an enemy managed to pass by their frontline. They came to protect the temple, thinking The Clown Troupe managed to breach their defense.
But Exalted Priest Gracia told them that this creature was The Goddess’ guest. That made him hesitate to make a move.
“We have been waiting for your arrival for years, Sir Tang. Please follow me. Goddess Lunea has been waiting for you,” Exalted Priest Gracia bowed her head slightly, trying to lead Tang Shaoyang into the temple.
“Halt!” A dignified voice rang in the air, and everyone recognized the voice. It was The King’s voice, King Manasa, the man who ruled The Osligia Kingdom.
“If he is the guest of Goddess Lunea, then can you explain why he broke the barrier in the Capital?” The elf army split up, opening up for the king.
King Manasa wore his armor instead of his royal robe. That showed that he came to fight, not to talk.
Tang Shaoyang chuckled and realized that High Priest Estia had The King as the backup. That was why she was so bold to take action. That just made sense if The King was involved. But that just annoyed him for the fact that this King became an obstacle for him to meet Lunea.
“Then can you tell me why your frontline general named Yasi and Levani tried to kill me even though Exalted Priest told them I am Goddess Lunea’s guest?” Tang Shaoyang just shook his head, “Aren’t they receiving an order from you?”
The conversation certainly confused everyone’s presence. These people in the capital were not aware of the conflict in the frontline yet.
“You can stop pretending. I know everything,” He then turned toward the Exalted Priest, “Why don’t you ask your High Priest Estia, Exalted Priest. I am sure you will find the answer.”
Gracia was confused, and she could tell there was a conflict between Tang Shaoyang and The Osligia Kingdom. However, from what she knew, The Osligia Kingdom was not supposed to know about Tang Shaoyang. Where did the conflict come from?
She listened to Tang Shaoyang and called the High Priest Estia. The other side told her that Tang Shaoyang killed Dewil. The other side told her that Tang Shaoyang was a murderer.
“You killed Sir Dewil?” Exalted Priest Gracia asked. If she had to choose who to trust between Tang Shaoyang and Estia. She would choose to trust Estia.
“Of course, they will try to frame me,” Tang Shaoyang took out the headless body of Dewil along with the head.
The elf army gasped in shock as everyone immediately drew their bows. They just needed an order to release the arrow, but Exalted Priest Gracia raised her hand.
“Do you want me to examine the body?” She stood next to the body.
“You are quite smart. So there’s no need for me to explain anything. Check the wound on his back. The wound is larger than the one on his chest, right? He was stabbed from behind by an elf named Yasi, and an elf named Levani severed his head.”
The elf used a short sword, so the sword barely pierced through the body. Gracia flipped the body, and that was right. The wound on the back was larger than the one on the chest. That meant Sir Dewil was killed from behind.
“As you can see, there’s no sign of struggle from him as well. His armor was fine, his bow was on his back, and his swords were in the sheath. Do you think he was fighting someone or was killed by someone he did not expect?”
Gracia really wanted to believe High Priest Estia, but the evidence was saying otherwise.
“I bring the body to gain your trust so there’s no need for us to fight. But that’s just not going to happen. The King is on High Priest Estia’s side. This fool king wanted to kill me to maintain the barrier, and I don’t know what your High Priest wants. Maybe The King promised to take her as his Queen.”
“Is he telling the truth, King Manasa? Are you going to violate The Oath you make with Goddess Lunea?” Gracia got up and turned toward The King.
“Listen to me, My people! This man here, he comes to break Goddess Lunea’s seal. That will free Goddess Lunea from System’s punishment, but for what cost?” King Manasa’s voice echoed through the city. He ignored the question and thought of convincing his people instead.
“The cost is the barrier that has been protecting us from The Clown Troupe for ten years! We will lose Goddess’ protection forever if we let this man meet Goddess Lunea! Make your choice. Fight with me and kill this man, or let this man meet Goddess Lunea!?”
Tang Shaoyang was annoyed, and now he was angry. These people wanted to kill him for their interests even though there was no need for them to fight. Lunea must make a promise to them for their protection, and these people had the audacity to break their promise.
He did not really want to kill all the elves, but it seemed like he was given no choice from the start. They had to get rid of these people if he wanted to meet Lunea peacefully.
While the elves were in dilemma, an arrow was shot. It made a whistling noise in the air, but the arrow was not directed to Tang Shaoyang but Exalted Priest.
Gracia did not expect that someone from The Osligia Kingdom would shoot the arrow at her. She froze, not expecting someone from this kingdom to want her dead.
In the blink of an eye, the arrow reached Gracia. She thought she was dead for sure, but the arrow stopped a few inches away from her eyes. The tip of the arrow was so close to reaching her right eye.
Tang Shaoyang caught the arrow and burned the arrow, “Right. Since you desperately want to protect the barrier, then I will destroy that barrier instead.” If the barrier disappeared, there was no reason for them to fight.
Tang Shaoyang used True Dragon, releasing a shock wave of Chaos Energy. The shock wave pushed everyone back and destroyed several buildings near Tang Shaoyang, including the temple.
It was just a split moment as a giant shadow loomed over the Capital of The Osligia Kingdom. Everyone looked up at the creature floating above the Capital.
A black dragon with five heads, and three pairs of wings. The dragon roared, creating another massive shock wave just from the roar and destroying more buildings.
King Manasa could not believe what he saw and subconsciously took a few steps back before he fell on his butt. His chest heaved up and down as his pupils dilated.
