Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs

Chapter 447 The Ruler’s Arrogance!

The Gnome Dwarves’ expressions changed in unison. They looked at the Ruler with fear in their eyes.

The elder turned his head and saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.

Mike’s expression did not change at all. He slowly straightened his body, exuding this powerful aura. Finally, he raised his head and looked at the Ruler quietly.

Not only Mike, but even Little Jerry had a calm expression. He sat upright on the wheelchair, tidied up his slightly wrinkled clothes, and looked at the Ruler quietly.

The Ruler watched this scene and slowly withdrew his aura. He leaned against the back of the chair and said in an extremely tired voice, “Mike, I need your help.”

Mike bowed to the Ruler and said, “If His Majesty wants to deal with the Dark Magi, then it’s only right.”

The Ruler smiled and said, “That’s great. Let’s discuss what we should do.”

Mike nodded and stood in front of the Ruler and asked, “That depends on what his Majesty wants me to do.” The Ruler said, “First, restrain the Dark Magi on the battlefield and buy me time to mobilize the army.”

Hearing this, Mike was furious. The Ruler was still thinking of weakening his power. He tried to calm himself down and asked the Ruler with a mocking smile, “How much time does His Majesty need to buy?”.

The Ruler was hurt by Mike’s mocking. He was angry and said, “Not much. You only need to hold on for seven days. I will definitely gather the troops.”

“Ha…” Mike sneered. “I can do this, as long as the Ruler promises me one thing.”

“Oh?” The Ruler was a little surprised. He asked, “Promise you what?”

Mike laughed. “Why not let me be the master of this Otherworld? As long as I am the master of this Otherworld, let alone defending for seven days, even if I completely annihilate the Dark Magi, how difficult would it be?”

“Impudent!” The new head guard was furious. He drew his weapon and attacked Mike.

“Stand down!” the Ruler roared.

The head guard reluctantly withdrew the sword from Mike’s throat and stood behind the Ruler.

The Ruler stood up, looked at Mike, and asked, “Do you know what you’re saying?” Mike sneered and nodded. He said, “Of course I know, I know everything. I know that everything I said is true, but there is a foolish Ruler who is willing to believe the words of a spy. I know clearly that the matter is no longer something that can be solved by a single person or a certain force. I have to get the master of Otherworld to step out and deal with it, but that master of Otherworld is still thinking of eliminating the threat. I also know that even if we defeat the Dark Magi this time, there will be countless other Dark Magi who will step out in the future. They will bring with them the divine power of thunder and lightning and destroy the so-called impregnable rule that the Ruler has built.”

The Ruler looked at Mike and felt his blood surging. His face was red. He pointed at Mike and said, “You! You! You!”

Mike’s expression did not change. He looked at the Ruler and said, “His Majesty the Ruler is extremely powerful. Naturally, he can easily take Mike’s life. Mike will stand here and won’t resist.”

When the Ruler heard that, he snorted and said, “Mike, no matter what kind of misunderstanding you have about me, time will prove that I am right.”

Mike smiled and said, “I really look forward to that day. If His Majesty has nothing else to do, please leave first. You have to deal with your family’s matters.”

The Ruler looked at Mike and frowned. However, he did not flare up in the end. Instead, he left with his subordinates in anger.

The six elders were dumbfounded. They had lived for thousands of years, but they had never seen anyone who could fight head-on with the Ruler like Mike.

Mike was also covered in a cold sweat. If they were to really fight, he did not know how to face the Ruler. Based on Mike’s guess of the Ruler, the leader must have two or more divine-tier summoned beasts, in addition to the Ruler’s own strength. Even if Mike had the dragon head, he would probably only be able to fight to a draw after suffering heavy losses.

Fortunately, the Ruler remained calm enough, and Mike was also rational enough so that the battle did not erupt.

Little Jerry looked at Mike and asked, “Things have developed in the direction we expected. Then I’ll command the team to retreat to the west first.”

Mike nodded and said, “Tell all the branches east of Central Plains City to retreat to the west.”

Little Jerry nodded and asked, “Aren’t we putting too much pressure on the Ruler by doing this?”

Mike shook his head and said, “If we don’t do this, who knows what kind of tricks the Ruler will pull next? I’m not giving him any time. I’m letting him know that if we want to win this war, he has to listen to me.”

Mike looked at the elder and said to him, “You’ve seen what happened. Now, the choice is in your hands. If you believe us, you’ll retreat to the west with us.”

The elder wanted to say something, but Mike said, “I’m sorry, but I’m going to the Dark Church now. I’m going to call on the allies of the church to retreat quickly.”

After Mike finished speaking, he turned into a streak of light and disappeared into the horizon.

The elder looked at Little Jerry and asked, “Guardian, this…”

Little Jerry smiled bitterly and said, “You’ve seen the situation. We’re also very distressed. We’ve always been very sincere, but His Majesty the Ruler has always been unwilling to send troops. He only wants to exhaust our strength first. I’ll be honest, if our organization really pulls the castle lord to the front line today, the name of the Dragon Castle will disappear from the Otherworld tomorrow. This isn’t a threat, but a fact. Elder, I hope that you can think carefully about who you should listen to.”

After Little Jerry finished speaking, he also pushed the wheelchair and went to do his own things.

The elder sighed and looked at the five elders who were in a daze. He said, “Let’s go back first. Oh right, tell the major medicine departments to check their luggage and prepare to leave at any time.”

The other five elders no longer hesitated and nodded at the same time.

What happened today was too surreal.

Mike came to the Dark Church and gathered the four old men. The Lord of Storms was also listening from the side.

Mike looked at the crowd and explained his purpose for coming here. “Today, the Ruler went to my place and quarreled with me. We had a disagreement on some points of view. Now, I’m going to retreat to the west. Please take the disciples of the Dark Church and follow me to the west.”

Jake asked, “Are you really not going to resist?”

Mike shook his head and said, “I dream of going up to resist, but the problem now is that if we only rely on the Dragon Castle, the Dark Church, and the Gnome Dwarves. Even if we put all fight together, we won’t be able to resist for too long. Moreover, the most critical thing is that the Ruler hasn’t really taken the Dark Magi seriously yet. Even if the side of the Otherworld is already retreating, he still wants to continuously exhaust our strength.”

Mike looked at the four old men and said seriously, “The reason why I asked you to retreat to the west with me is to create divine power so that everyone in Central Plains City will know that the Dark Magi are coming.”

Guardian nodded and asked, “How feasible is

it?”

Leonhart frowned and calculated for a while, then said, “According to His Majesty’s temper, when public opinion continues to ferment and rise to the peak, he will generally choose two ways. One is to pretend that he didn’t hear it and let public opinion naturally abate. The other is to kill a few of the fiercest ones and force the public opinion to abate.”

Mike stood up and said, “Believe me, there will be a third possibility this time.”
