"Elder Landon?"
The surrounding elven soldiers looked at Landon in disbelief when they saw him fall at Watson's hands. Some of them tried to call out to him.
Landon, the great elf elder and supreme elite, had been defeated by a human youth. How was that possible? It seemed like the young human had not used any particularly powerful abilities yet. Were they hallucinating?
Feeling the gazes from all directions, Watson released his arm. Landon, who was in front of him, immediately collapsed. His dragon-like arm disappeared.
"Fusion system, activate."
After defeating Landon, Watson did not continue with his attack. Instead, he began to fuse with the wreckage of the submarine that Landon's attack had shattered. The wreckage that was already in tatters turned into streams of light and fused together, turning into brand new submarines that floated in the air. They were filled with a sense of oppression.
"Everyone from the Elven Kingdom, I'll give you two choices. Hand over the hostages in the fortress city and surrender yourselves. Or I'll kill all of you here. You have one minute to consider it."
Watson raised a finger. As he spoke, hundreds of Deep-sea Behemoth Submarines floating around him extended their cannons in all directions. The cannons flickered with pitch-black light as if a cannonball would be fired at the next moment.
His voice was not loud, but it reverberated throughout fortress city.
"The Elven elites have been defeated. We're saved." The refugees in the cities had been under the control of the elves and had lost all hope of survival. When they heard Watson's call, they clench their fists. Their eyes were filled with excitement.
Compared to those refugees, the elves' expressions darkened.
"Elder Langton has lost. What should we do? Continue to attack?"
"Under such circumstances, we aren't a match for him even if we continue to attack. Why don't we rely on our undying ability to protect His Majesty and retreat?"
Negative comments spread among the elven soldiers. Just as the elves were hesitating whether they should continue to fight Watson or not, the sky in the city suddenly emitted a dragon's roar, and hundreds of giant dragons rose into the sky, with elves on their backs. One of the elves wore a long emerald robe and a crown studded with gemstones. He looked majestic and gave off a life-like aura.
That elf was the king of the Elven Kingdom—Jersey Alpha.
"I did not expect the human army to come to the fortress city to provide support so quickly. I also did not expect the King of the Holy Dragon Kingdom to come personally, risking his life for a city on the border. Are you really bold, or do you look down on the elven army?"
The Elven King rode on the dragon and arrived at where Watson and the others were in a few seconds. He glanced down, and his gaze stopped on Watson. Then, his gaze shifted to King Landhar III, who was not far from Watson.
King Landhar III had met the Elven King before. When the Elven King saw King Landhar III, surprise flashed in his eyes for a moment before it was covered with hatred.
The Elven Kingdom attacked the Holy Dragon Kingdom to help him take revenge on them. King Landhar III's appearance had saved him the trouble of destroying the Holy Dragon Kingdom's cities one by one or attacking the royal capital.
When he was resting in the city hall, he heard the sound of intense fighting outside. Soon, a guard came over and told him that a human army had joined hands with the sea folks to attack them, and even their great elder, Landon, was defeated. He had been very confused. The elven army had consumed the water from the Spring of Life to become immortal, so they should not have been defeated. All the worries in his heart had disappeared. King Landhar III was there personally, so it was natural for him to defeat Landon.
King Landhar III was a king. If he could not do that, there was no point in defeating him. The corners of the Elven King's mouth rose, and his smile was cold. He wanted to see King Landhar III struggle and kneel in front of him.
"King Landhar III? The King of the Holy Dragon Kingdom has come personally. Is that true?"
"Since His Majesty has said so, it must be true. It's no wonder those people are so powerful. It turns out that they are protecting their king."
Many elven soldiers on the street cried out in surprise after the Elven King's voice fell. Even the residents of the fortress city were shocked. Then, their expressions turned into ecstasy. They did not expect King Landhar III to come to save them personally. With the king present, the chances of them being saved skyrocketed.
"King Jersey, I haven't seen you in a long time. The last time we met was more than ten years ago. After so many years, you look much older than before." King Landhar III raised his head. His gaze met with the Elven King in midair as he said with some emotion.
"King Landhar III, stop pretending. Since you're here today, don't leave! It was you who led your men to defeat Landon, right? As far as I know, the only person in the Holy Dragon Kingdom who can defeat Landon is Sword Saint Reid. Stop hiding and let him come out."
The Elven King snorted and looked around for Reid. Even though he did not see Reid, he knew that he was there because King Landhar III had come to the fortress city.
"King Jersey, I'm afraid I have to disappoint you. Reid is not here today."
"He's not here? Do you think you can fool me? If Reid had not come, who was the one who defeated Landon just now?"
When the Elven King asked, many elves turned their eyes toward Watson. Sensing the movements of those people, the Elven King narrowed his eyes and looked at Watson. He had noticed Watson because he was a teenager among a group of luxuriously dressed human noblemen and ministers. However, he did not think too much about it. It seemed like that youth was the one who had defeated Landon.
"You defeated Landon?" The Elven King could not help but ask. Watson's age and the weak aura emanating from his body meant he did not look like an elite at all. Did King Landhar III try to mislead him?"
"That's right. Let me introduce myself. My name is Watson, and I am a—"
"It doesn't matter who you are. Don't think that you can strut in front of me just because you defeated Landon. I have already made ample preparations for the attack on the Holy Dragon Kingdom! Fellow dragons, it's your turn now."
Without waiting for Watson to finish speaking, the Elven King interrupted him impatiently. He waved his hand, and the dragons beneath him immediately carried him to the ground. After placing him and the Elven guards down, those dragons immediately transformed into human forms and flew in Watson's direction.
More than a hundred dragons flew in the air. Each dragon exuded the aura of a Dragon King, and the terrifying aura made the air sticky. The residents of the fortress city, who had looked hopeful because of Landon's loss, looked desperate.
Any of those dragons seemed to be stronger than Landon, and there were a hundred of them. Even Sword Saint Reid was no match for them. Furthermore, King Landhar III had not brought Reid with him.
The Elven King stood behind the dragons, hugging his shoulders with a smug look on his face. Those dragons were all subordinates of the Forest Dragon King. Not only did they possess the strength of a Dragon King, but they had also consumed water from the Spring of Life. They were immortals. A hundred dragons were enough to flatten the entire Holy Dragon Kingdom. The scene of everyone present, including King Landhar III, being torn apart by the dragons, began to appear in his mind.
However, he was surprised when those dragons did not make a move. Instead, they knelt on one knee and spoke respectfully.
"Greetings, Dragon Emperor!"
What?
The Elven king opened his mouth wide.
