Volume 4 Chapter 216
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 216: Preparations Complete
Perhaps after receiving the divine blessing of the Vampire Ancestor, Morton’s power surged dramatically, allowing him to touch the threshold of a High-Race King. Thus, defeating the Troll King might not have been difficult for him.
Unfortunately, the one he faced was Xia Lulu.
Having barely reached that threshold, he dared challenge the strongest of the High-Race Kings, even believing he had the power to kill Xia Lulu.
Just thinking about it made Xia Lulu herself feel like laughing.
However, to the uninformed onlookers nearby, it was anything but laughable.
“Did the Silver Dragon Princess just annihilate Morton?!”
“Am I seeing things?”
“No, this is real, Morton really lost!!”
The trolls were utterly shaken.
Supported by his subordinates, the Troll King fell into a heavy silence after witnessing the battle, unable to speak for a long while.
In nearly everyone’s minds, only two words echoed,
Terrifying!
If the Silver Dragon Princess’s strength had reached such an overwhelming level, then Xia Lulu, ruler of the Dragon Kingdom, must undoubtedly be even stronger than Xia Yi. Just how terrifying would that be?
“Your Majesty, this…?” The trolls looked to their king.
Though being saved by someone else and surviving was cause for relief, the Troll King felt no joy.
Long ago, when he first ascended the throne, he had proudly declared to his people.
“I, the Troll King, will become the mightiest on this land, leading the troll race to stand above all races. Even the dragons, the so-called strongest High Race, will be trampled beneath my feet. That overrated Dragon King may not even be my match!”
The Troll King admitted there had been some exaggeration in his past boasts. He had assumed his life would seldom intersect with the dragons soaring in the skies, so a little bragging among his kin seemed harmless, after all, their paths were unlikely to cross.
But now…
It was a boomerang, hitting him right in the face.
Recalling his past words filled him with shame, leaving him in no position to boast anymore.
“…She defeated Morton… She’s powerful,” the Troll King quietly conceded.
Sighs rippled through the troll ranks. The gap in strength was like a chasm, shattering any lingering illusions.
As for the vampires, Morton’s death had thrown their army into disarray, and their collapse was now inevitable.
Faced with an enemy like Xia Lulu, what fighting spirit could remain?
If she took to the skies and unleashed a spell-bombing barrage, the vampires wouldn’t stand a chance, they’d be utterly crushed.
Vampire soldiers began discarding weapons and armor, fleeing in panic.
“Your Highness!”
Dragon forces flew in from afar, their massive forms descending onto the battlefield. The captain of the Anti-Vampire Clan Special Operations Unit hurried to Xia Lulu’s side.
“Your Highness, what are your orders?”
“Prepare to mop up. The enemy commander has been slain, and the remaining forces pose no threat. End this swiftly and secure Talan City,” Xia Lulu commanded.
“Understood!”
The captain replied respectfully, inwardly marveling at how swiftly Her Majesty had turned the tide with just a brief intervention. The remaining dragon soldiers would merely handle cleanup duties.
With dragons now on the battlefield, the vampires’ will to fight evaporated entirely.
What followed was a meaningless cleanup operation, which Xia Lulu left to her subordinates.
“With Talan City taken, the Anti-Vampire Clan Alliance forces can now advance unimpeded.”
Xia Lulu murmured to herself. Everything was proceeding according to plan. Soon, the alliance would plunge like a blade deep into the heart of the Holy Crimson Empire.
Reaching the imperial capital would mean rescuing her daughter.
“…Mm.”
Suddenly, Xia Lulu shuddered, a searing pain tearing through her heart. She gritted her teeth, suppressing any sign of discomfort to avoid drawing attention.
“So even using a bit of power seriously causes this now…”
Her hand pressed gently against her chest.
“Still, we must press on and storm the imperial capital of the Holy Crimson Empire as soon as possible. Xia Yi is still trapped there…”
…
…
Some time later, in the imperial palace of the Holy Crimson Empire’s capital.
The date of Elizabeth and Xia Yi’s wedding was drawing ever closer.
“Reporting to the Divine Ancestor, all preparations for the wedding have been completed as you requested.”
Herman stood before Elizabeth, delivering his report.
“You may inspect them at any time. If revisions are needed, we will make them immediately. If you are satisfied, the ceremony can proceed as scheduled the day after tomorrow.”
“Good, I understand.”
Elizabeth nodded with satisfaction, eagerly awaiting the day. She had spent most of her time in the imperial palace lately, seldom venturing out.
“Additionally…” Herman hesitated.
“Speak freely.”
“Yes, Divine Ancestor. It’s regarding the war,” Herman explained. “After Morton fell on the front lines, Talan City fell into the hands of the Anti-Vampire Clan Alliance, becoming a breach. Their momentum is now unstoppable as they advance swiftly, approaching the imperial capital. Estimates suggest they will arrive around…”
“Also the day after tomorrow, correct?”
“…Yes.” Herman nodded.
“Faster than I anticipated. Someone must be in a hurry to save her, couldn’t resist joining the fray.”
“Divine Ancestor, I’ve verified frontline reports multiple times. They claim it was the Silver Dragon Princess, Xia Yi · Christie, who led the dragons to crush Talan City’s defenses and slay Morton.”
Herman found it puzzling, as the real Silver Dragon Princess was currently in the imperial palace, awaiting her wedding.
“A silver dragon with the same appearance, yet even greater power… It must be her, right?”
Elizabeth leisurely uttered the name.
“Xia Lulu · Christie, Xia Yi’s mother, the Silver Dragon Queen.”
“I share the same view, Divine Ancestor. The Silver Dragon Queen likely used the Silver Dragon Princess’s title to stabilize the Anti-Vampire Clan Alliance. No one else in this world could match her power,” Herman analyzed.
“How perfectly aligned with my wishes, an unexpected delight, one might say. On the day of my wedding with Xia Yi, Xia Lulu will also lead the Anti-Vampire Clan Alliance to assault the imperial capital.”
A faint smile curved Elizabeth’s lips.
“In that case, why not capture Xia Lulu as well and have her join this wedding?”
