Chapter 426: The Birth of the Storm, Dragon Emperor!

On that day, a storm swept through the entire Jungle Empire!

A man named Auzo held the head of the Jungle King and declared his name in front of all the people and slaves of the Jungle Empire.

The giant dragon destroyed the palace, proclaiming the downfall of the King of the Forest.

"People of the Forest Empire, oppression continues, slaves never ending, the incompetent king is complacent and weak."

"They break your back with their inherited authority, forcing you to kneel, but I, I want you to stand up."

"The King of the Forest is dead, now it’s me, Auzo, who will control the Jungle Empire!"

After the king’s death, most of the soldiers chose to pledge loyalty to the new king!

But there were still some soldiers who rose up in rebellion!

They swung their swords at Auzo and the dragon, and in the endless storm, they were crushed into pieces!

Two elf women approached Auzo and loudly recited.

"The new king hereby solemnly swears that there will be no more slaves or oppression in this world, the only ruler shall be the Majesty!"

"My fellow elves, we will no longer endure humiliation or fear!"

"King of the Forest made us kneel with his hereditary tyranny, made us forsake dignity, made us tools and playthings, but the new king, he asks us to stand up!"

"We are life, not slaves!"

"The new king will lead us into a new era, one that will be great and sacred!"

"In that era, there will be no slaves, no tyranny, everyone will be equal!"

"And in this world, there is only one king!"

"Emperor Auzo, please allow this once humble and insignificant slave to offer you my lifelong loyalty!"

All elf slaves were unbelieving upon hearing this solemn declaration.

Immediately after, they wept tears of joy.

Under Auzo’s command, all chains that bound the slaves were released, freeing them from heavy burdens!

The elves all knelt down!

"We are willing to live and die for the new king, without hesitation!"

"We are willing to live and die for the new king, without hesitation!!"

"There shall be no tyranny in this world anymore!"

"There shall be no more slaves in this world!!"

"Xiāng, present the head to the new king!!"

"Stormborn, Dragon Emperor!"

"Stormborn, Dragon Emperor!!"

。。。

Inside the royal palace.

Auzo’s hand slowly stroked the bow of Daidalos Stormbow.

Two elven maids stood silently by, not saying a word.

Auzo looked at the two elves, "Why are you still here? I have told you, you are no longer slaves, you don’t need to serve me."

"Go find your families and reunite."

Two elf women turned around, "We… don’t have any family anymore…"

"Our family was executed by the King of the Forest for their mistake…"

Auzo turned his gaze at the mention, "What are your names?"

"Slaves don’t have names…"

"We, from birth until now, have never had our own names." The two elves grew increasingly despondent as they spoke.

"No family… no name…"

Auzo then slowly put down Daidalos and said, "In my homeland, people’s first and last names are linked together."

"This means your life is tightly connected to your family."

"Since you have no family, I will be your family. Since you have no names, I will give you names."

"Ophelna, Ophelya, please use my last name."

The two elf women immediately kneeled down upon hearing this, "Your Majesty… we are of humble background, how could we possess your sacred last name…"

"Yes, we are of lowly birth, we are unworthy, we have no right to be part of your family…"

Auzo’s eyes narrowed, "I said, you are not slaves, you are equal to me, there is no distinction of high or low."

The two elf women looked at each other, "But…"

"Please Your Majesty, take back your command."

Auzo seemed to understand something at this point.

The sense of being a slave was deeply ingrained in them, even if the chains were removed, they still felt like slaves from within.

This cannot be changed quickly.

"Withdraw the command?"

"This is the king’s order."

"I command you to treat me as an equal and accept the names I give you."

The two elves hesitated for a moment, "Yes, Your Majesty."

"Th…Thank you, sir."

The female elves looked at each other, "Great, we have names now!"

"Yes, we have names now!"

"Since we are all family of the king, does that mean we are sisters?"

"Yes, sisters, we are family, wonderful!"

Auzo looked at the two elves and sighed in his heart, then picked up Daidalos again.

Ophelna walked up to Auzo and asked, "Your Majesty, I see you’ve been looking at this bow all the time. What’s special about it?"

Auzo’s fingers touched the bow, which looked like wings.

"This bow, named Daidalos, symbolizes protecting others. My mother used to wield this bow and fought her whole life to protect others."

"But those she protected betrayed her, causing her death…"

"All for a bow."

"She spent her life shooting arrows with this bow to hunt demons, only to die from betrayal by her own people. Isn’t it ironic?"

Auzo picked up a small knife and carved two small words on the bow.

Ophelya stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what are these words?"

Auzo stayed silent for a moment, "Chinese characters."

"Chinese characters?"

"What do these two words mean?"

"Fail."

。。。

Fly arrived at the Elf Empire in the jungle.

The elves looked at him unfriendly, "Human, what brings you here?"

Fly raised his head, "I want to see the Elf King."

"Soon, there will be a civil strife among you, let me see the Elf King."

The fairies whispered to each other, and one of them started talking to the tree.

Soon, a loud female voice could be heard from the ancient tree.

"Let him come in."

The fairies made way, and Fly walked straight into the Elf Empire without any obstacles.

He walked up the huge tree roots, climbing higher and higher until he reached the central area of a gigantic ancient tree.

Here was a vast square supported by intertwined tree roots.

The ground was covered with green stone tiles.

In the center of the square, there was a huge statue.

The statue depicted two female elves.

Under the statue, there is a stone with writing on it.

"Elf Twins, Ophelna and Ophelya."

"The wise twin sisters of the elven tribe once fought in famous battles alongside Auzo, but they both fell in the war after the Twilight of the Gods."

"The two sisters defied the will of the God of Elves, Tiel Sandrus, but they saved the Elf clan, so they are seen as legendary figures by later generations of the elven tribe."

Fly glanced at the words on the stone but didn’t pay much attention.

The twins, who lived in the background, never appeared during the game period.
