Volume 4 Chapter 271
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 271: The Strongest Trump Card
“Hand over the Vampire Ancestor! Otherwise, for the sake of peace, the Anti-Vampire Alliance will declare war on the Dragon race!!”
Kennedy pressed aggressively.
Of course, he didn’t actually intend to personally start a new war, that would make him an eternal sinner.
This Elven general wanted to use the Anti-Vampire Alliance to pressure the Dragon race.
If it were only the elves, the Dragon race might choose to ignore them.
But the current situation was different from before, the armies of all other races were gathered here.
If the Dragon race’s response was inappropriate, it would undoubtedly anger everyone. This was a strategy of killing with a borrowed knife.
Even the arrogant Dragon race would have no choice but to lower its head here.
“…The war is already over,” Xia Yi replied.
“Hmm? What are you trying to say?”
“The war is over. The Vampire Ancestor has been defeated by me. As for your so-called warning? Kennedy, do you think you can command our Dragon race? Then let me tell you, “
Xia Yi’s voice was cold as she responded.
She showed no intention of complying with Kennedy’s demands, instead presenting her own stance.
“You are not worthy.”
“How bold, Silver Dragon Princess! Then we can fully regard you as defending the Vampire Ancestor and betraying the Anti-Vampire Alliance, correct!”
Kennedy hadn’t expected this Silver Dragon Princess to be so stubborn, still clinging to pride even in this situation.
The Dragon race was indeed powerful, with outstanding individual combat prowess.
However, the Anti-Vampire Alliance had so many members and countless soldiers.
In contrast, the Dragon side had only the Anti-Vampire Special Operations Unit.
The difference in numbers was clear at a glance, with the advantage obvious.
Could it be that this prideful princess was still waiting for someone to give her a way out?
That was impossible.
“Since your Dragon race has made its choice, then prepare yourselves mentally.”
Kennedy prepared to order the Anti-Vampire Alliance, commanding all allied armies to crush the dragons here together.
“The one who should be mentally prepared is you.”
After uttering this enigmatic statement, Xia Yi’s figure vanished from her spot.
The next moment, Kennedy sensed something amiss. Instinctively, he tightened his grip on Nature’s Boon and entered the combat stance.
Sure enough, Xia Yi appeared before him, wielding the Holy Sword as she swung it toward him.
This scene truly shocked everyone.
Under suspicion, Xia Yi had actually chosen to attack Kennedy!
Kennedy himself was utterly astonished. Was she completely ignoring the circumstances??
“Dammit!!”
Cursing, Kennedy met the attack with Nature’s Boon.
However, in terms of swordsmanship, no one present could match Xia Yi, the Sword Saint. Combined with her undeniable advantage in strength, this high-speed assault technique immediately caught Kennedy off guard.
After the clash of blades, the Elven Grand General shuddered violently, feeling as if struck head-on by a giant hammer. His arm went numb, and his weapon flew from his grasp.
And then…
Thud!
Xia Yi raised her fist, channeling draconic power, and punched Kennedy squarely in the face. The blow shattered his nasal bridge and sent him flying backward.
“Agh!”
Kennedy tumbled across the ground like a ball, rolling several times before finally stopping.
His face turned a mottled blue and purple, with blood streaming continuously from his nose.
The force behind that punch had been immense. The once handsome Kennedy was now disfigured, his face swollen like a pig’s head.
“You… you…!”
“Kennedy, if you have the resolve to declare war on our Dragon race, then announce it to everyone present.”
Xia Yi’s expression was icy, without a trace of fear.
She had seen through it, Kennedy was simply trying to corner her. No matter what explanation she gave, he would find a new way to trouble her.
What was the point in wasting more words on him?
After speaking to Kennedy, she turned her gaze to the leaders of the other races.
“Kennedy unilaterally seeks the Vampire Ancestor’s head to claim the greatest prize. I find this extremely displeasing. This is a conflict between the Dragon race and the Elven race. If any of your races intend to join in, I will regard your alignment as your race’s intention to enter this war between elves and dragons.”
“Your Dragon race is too tyrannical!!” shouted the Dwarf King.
“Indeed, our Dragon race has always been this way. Have you forgotten?” Xia Yi retorted. “Or do you need a taste of the Dragon race’s military might to remember?”
Her words left everyone speechless.
They realized the Dragon race had indeed always been like this. It was just that a powerful enemy had forced them to temporarily forget and cooperate with the dragons against the vampires.
Now it seemed that, despite the Dragon race’s overbearing attitude, they had contributed significantly to this war.
At present, this appeared more like a conflict between elves and dragons. Was it really necessary to drag their own races into a new war?
The leaders of the other races began contemplating this calmly.
After all, the war was already won. What they cared most about now was the distribution of benefits.
Even the usually impulsive Beastmen Chieftain chose to wait and see.
“What… are you all doing? The Dragon race has already betrayed us and declared war! Why aren’t we joining forces to defeat them?!”
Kennedy covered his face as he stood up.
He was nearly mad with rage.
“This is an order from the leader of the Anti-Vampire Alliance!”
“Stop making a scene!”
A sudden voice rang out.
Everyone looked over to find…
The Nine-Tailed Fox Princess!
Yue Liu stepped forward, her face clearly displeased.
The little fox walked over to stand beside Xia Yi.
This single action was enough to declare her stance.
“Nine-Tailed Fox Princess, what is the meaning of this?” Kennedy demanded.
“Hmph, I don’t like you!” she retorted.
“That’s… your reason?”
“What, you have a problem with that?”
The little fox was clearly angry, huffing with indignation.
“Our Fox race is also a leader of the Anti-Vampire Alliance. Did you seek our Fox race’s approval before giving orders? Stop dictating unilaterally!”
“Kennedy, stop dragging this out any further.”
Tia, the Knight King, also stepped forward, choosing to stand opposite Kennedy.
“Your actions are too ugly, clearly aimed at inciting a brand-new war. Although I too have some dissatisfaction with the Dragon race’s attitude, their role in this war cannot be ignored. They defeated both Herman and the Vampire Ancestor. No matter how you try to twist the truth with rhetoric, you cannot change this indisputable fact. Rather than trying to sensationalize and incite the crowd like you are, it would be better to calmly consider how to properly handle the defeated vampires.”
The Fox race and the Human race had clearly sided against him.
This made the other races even less inclined to fight.
Everyone else chose to watch in silent observation. The looks they now gave Kennedy were as if viewing the strongest trump card in a circus troupe.
The atmosphere grew awkward. Some were already beginning to feel embarrassed on behalf of this Elven Grand General.
“You… all of you… Ugh!!”
Kennedy was furious, utterly unable to bear it, still unwilling to let go.
However, an unexpected figure suddenly appeared on the battlefield, halting his actions and rendering him completely speechless.
“That’s enough, Kennedy. This war is over,” said the Elven Princess, Eve. “In the name of the Elven Royal Family, I command you to stand down.”
