Chapter 425: The Birth of a New King!
Jungle Empire.
Countless giant trees surrounded the area, with tall buildings built around them.
The race known as the Elves were enslaved, doing various tasks, while humans enjoyed fruit wine and finely ground food.
Deep within the Jungle Empire, inside a palace atop a tree.
A slightly chubby man wearing a crown and with dark green curly hair was being served by two Elves.
The two Elves had pleased expressions, as one of them offered wine and the other fanned with a leaf.
"Is this Daidalos?"
The old man handed Daidalos over, saying, "Great King of the Forest, Your Majesty of the Jungle Empire, here is the invincible bow you desired!"
The king waved his hand, and a knight in green armor stepped forward to hand the bow and arrows to the king.
"It’s not really that different."
"Knight Commander, how do you think this bow compares to the Jungle Dragon, forged from dragon bones and green gold in our empire?"
Jungle Dragon is the name of the bow.
Legend has it that made from dragon bones and green gold, it is the strongest bow and arrow in the Jungle Empire, impossible to be drawn even by a hundred men.
"Your Majesty, I heard even an ordinary woman can draw this bow. How can it compare to our empire’s treasure?"
The king smiled, "Well said, but I do like the look of this bow."
The village chief was happy to hear this, "Your Majesty, as long as you like it, then the people in our village…"
"Oh, hold on, don’t rush. With the upcoming big war, the Empire’s finances are also tight," said the king, suddenly showing a playful smile.
Upon hearing this, the village chief silently cursed.
This insatiable old leech!
"We brought some items with us, although not valuable, they should help fill the needs of the treasury."
The king smiled, "Well then, the Jungle Empire always welcomes you, after all, you are also my people, right?"
"Let’s go, you go bring your people in."
The village chief nodded humbly, "Thank you, Your Majesty…"
Boom!
Just then, the dome of the palace was lifted open!
A huge dragon descended from the sky, leaving everyone stunned!
"Knight Commander!"
"You… Your Majesty…"
"A dragon, a huge dragon?!!"
"Darn it, what are the people outside doing, why would they let a dragon in!!"
The king, in a rage, cursed, and then saw a man with black scaled armor and white hair descending from the sky.
The village chief was dumbfounded when he saw the man, "Au… Auzo, you, weren’t you already…?"
Auzo coldly turned to the village chief, "Already dead?"
At that moment, the Knight Commander suddenly charged forward with his sword, and hacked Auzo’s neck with one strike!
Block!
A sound of metal clashing was heard as the Knight Commander’s sword was directly deflected.
Auzo grabbed the Knight Commander’s sword, then walked slowly towards the village chief.
The village chief was so scared that he collapsed on the ground, "Wait, wait, Auzo, please listen to me, it’s a misunderstanding about your mother!"
Auzo stood in front of the village chief, "Do you remember who saved the village in its most perilous moment?"
"It was my father, Aolun, a hunter who roamed around hunting demons."
"He once saved you all, until he fell in love with my mother, he stayed in this village, devoted himself to it, and eventually died in battle."
"Then came my mother, who picked up my father’s bow, a simple woman who bravely took up arms to defend you all on the battlefield."
"But what have you done?"
"To save yourselves, you betrayed my mother, and begged for mercy from demons and powerless kings!"
"Even animals understand that betrayal is unforgivable for humans, so you are no better than animals, right?"
"I truly don’t understand, is it so difficult to pick up weapons and fight?"
"Is it so hard to resist?"
"Do you have to beg like a dog to survive?"
"No, perhaps it’s not you who is wrong, it’s me."
"You have become accustomed to being controlled, to being ruled, to bowing to the strong, to kneeling and begging for survival."
"Your servility is ingrained in your marrow, like animals."
"Alright, next, I’ll rule over you, how about that?!"
The village chief looked at the king, but Auzo suddenly threw his sword and charged at the king!
The Knight Commander rushed out in response, "Your Ma…"
Swish!!
The long sword instantly pierced through the Knight Commander’s chest, then continued towards the king with full force!
Swish!
The Knight Commander and the king were pierced through, pinned together on the throne!
Seeing this, the village chief offered his own head to Auzo!
"Your Majesty, I-I’m willing to be ruled by you!!"
Auzo slowly reached out his right hand and placed it on the village chief’s head, "When did dogs start choosing their own masters?"
"Did I ever say I wanted to be your king?"
The village chief’s head was tightly pressed against the ground, trembling as he said, "You… you said, just now…"
*Splat!*
Auzo used his hand to crush the village chief’s head.
Brain matter mixed with blood sprayed out, and the headless body of the village chief fell to the ground.
Auzo walked to the throne, wiped the blood off his hands with the king’s clothes, then casually tossed aside the bodies of the king and the knights.
Auzo took a seat.
Two elven slaves instantly knelt down at the sight!
"Betrayal feels like sprinkling salt on a wound."
"I can tolerate disloyalty, hatred, fear, but betrayal is something I cannot bear."
Both elven maids exclaimed, "We will never betray you!"
Auzo sat on the throne, closed his eyes slowly, "But I can’t trust you, what should I do?"
The eyes of the two female elfs showed endless fear, the scent of death overwhelmed them, making them feel suffocated!
"No… please…"
"We, we haven’t done anything…"
The two elf women began to cry as they spoke.
Auzo slowly opened his eyes, then stood up and walked towards the two elven women.
He reached out a hand and placed it on the shoulders of two elf women.
"I know you haven’t done anything wrong, and I know you are innocent."
"Why don’t you tell me, what does it mean to be a slave?"
One trembling elf woman said, "Children of slaves are born slaves, our parents are slaves, so we are slaves…"
"Slaves have no rights, not even like animals, we are tools to be used and discarded, objects of pleasure…"
Auzo’s eyes sparkled, "Very well, but from today onwards, you are no longer slaves."
"In the future, there will be no more slaves."
"Those who have mistreated you will be dealt with by your king, and all I ask of you is to offer your loyalty."
