Rise Of The Dragon Emperor

33 A ploy arises



( In the nothern barren lands , the summit of the eight Warlords )

Eight Warlords sat across a table made of animal and human bones as meat and wine dishes were littered half eaten on them.

Today was a monumental day for the council as a new force had joined amongst their ranks , the remnants of the phoenix clan and the leader of the 7 seas organization were present at the table.

The nothern barren lands followed the law of the jungle , as every major warlock controlled a few villages and attacked other villages to pillage their grain and steal their livestock.

There was nothing permanent in these parts as burning of an entire village was a yearly phenomenon for the people , as men died every other month fighting in petty fights.

There was no moral decency in these parts of the continent , as there did not exist a concept of education for children or family practices like marriage.

There were only mating partners , as women were but a tool for breeding and tending to livestock. They had no other rights or pleasures of life in the village.

To describe the people of the nothern barren lands as barbarians would be wrong as they were not savage brute’s incapable of communicating through human language , however they were for sure savages who lived a dog eat dog life.

However precisely because they lived such a life , their cheiftains were supreme warriors who had their foundation built , not from learning the art of combat through theory , but from a lifetime of intense battle..

This was the reason behind their killing aura being extremely thick , which was even more exaggerated when they met for their once a year annual summit , the only day when a mandatory cease fire existed.

For years , the nothern chieftains had eyed the fertile and happy cities of Avalon , as even a single raid on these towns could set their clan up for feasts all year long. However Alexander Draco was not a guy who could be offended.

After many small skirmishes where the royal army of Avalon completely decimated their unorganised counterparts , by marching in tight trained formations and the use of superior equipment and higher grade spells , the nothern savages did not dare look Avalon’s side anymore

However , that was to change today , as the two new guests came with a proposition to cause chaos within Avalon.

Ever since those who conspired against the royal prince’s lives were being hunted by Sam , many phoenix clan members had to flee the country overnight into the nothern barren lands , as although Avalon shared it’s borders with three neighbouring nations , only the nothern lands were safe for these deserters.

Life was hard for the phoenix clan members in these parts of the world , as they were not accustomed to the savagery of these natives . Completely unable to adapt to live in such morally degrading conditions.

The women had it especially hard , as every other man in the village eyed them with lustful eyes of a beast , ready to pounce on at any moment.

However the phoenix clan members did have power , knowledge and wealth , as they could go head to head with the savages , causing heavy casualties to the enemy too. Which was why they were invited to the table today , alongside the leader of the seven seas organization . The strongest man on table at level 132 , named ‘ William Arthur ‘.

The agenda today for this meet was put forward by William as his absolute strength was the only way that the 8 savage leaders listened to a sentence without interrupting it with petty jokes.

William said ” I know you guys often fight with each other , and die like cattle for nothing.

However today i come here and give you the opportunity to change. My organization and the phoenix clan are ready to provide monetary and food support to your villages . All of them ! however , in return we ask for one thing and one thing only…

The fall of Avalon ! “.

A big burly man wearing bears coat over his back banged his wine cup on the bone table as he glared at William. However before he could utter a word , William said loudly ” I HAVEN’T FINISHED YET , and i swear to god if anyone so dared to interrupt me before i have said everything I need to say , then all 8 of you will be dead before you can reach for your hideous self crafted weapons “.

Silence descended on the table as the savage leaders with their incredibly thick murderous aura felt a chill run down their spines when William let go of some of his own.

The killing intent in Williams aura was soo dense , it made the savage leaders shiver in disbelief as they felt their blood run cold in their veins .

William continued ” I know none of you have the strength to win a fair fight against Avalon , but nobody asks you to fight a fair fight.

organize small specialized parties and launch systematic terrorist attacks on their lands , and overtime frustrate Alexander enough to get him to march his armies into the nothern lands

It will be at that moment , in your home turf that you will route the enemy and take over the kingdom of Avalon .

Naturally the kings will be the phoenix clan , and the seven seas organization will take a pick of their loot . However everyone of you will also have a piece of the spoils , big enough for your seven generations to praise you as a hero.

All you need to do is leave this table today with a permanent ceasefire and make your damn terror units. Food , grain , weapons , money . Leave all that to the seven seas.

NOW I TAKE QUESTIONS “.

William was completely authoritarian in his approach as the savages found it hard to retort or even say a single word. However one of those leaders , the one in the bear coat ‘ Ballu ‘ , was not the most intelligent of the lot , being as bear headed as the skin hanging behind his back

As he stood up and said ” What makes you think that you can come to our table , sit and drink our wine and still have the gall to order us around , not even being a cheiftain ?

The black bears don’t bow before any…. “

Before ballu could complete his sentence his throat was slit as blood spurted all over the dining table , as William could be seen sheathing his sword back in its scabbard.

Nobody was able to even see his attack , it happened that quickly , as ballu fell dead on the very plate he was eating from a moment ago.

Fear was thoroughly instilled within the 7 other leaders left alive as they subconsciously protected their throats with their hands.

William said ” Any other objections? “.

To which nobody dared to reply a single word , as their silence was taken as their agreement.

A ploy to destabilize the region of Avalon had been made , and the Draco’s remained unaware about it. However the phoenix clan chief did bring up one topic before the banquet ended , where he said ” Even if we do overthrow Alexander , there is still his two boys Ronan and Percy Draco.

Those two are monstrous geniuses that cannot be allowed to grow , as even if we succeed , if those boys live , Avalon will never truly fall under our control”.

Tales of the legendary talents of the Draco family were no longer hidden news for major powers , as everyone was wary of the two rising stars. However towards this concern William just said ” Naturally the boys cannot be ignored. The academy of Avalon is a well protected place where causing interference is hard.

However not only one , i have two arrangements already in place for them boys.

Alexander killed my brother’s when he took down the temple . It’s a blood feud that will only be settled with blood.

It was naive for Leif to think that some petty renumeration could make for the loss in life.

The Draco’s owe me a blood debt and

William Arthur always collects his debts”.

With this the banquet was concluded , as a new enemy had started planning for the downfall of the kingdom of Avalon. As many dangers awaited the Draco family and the people they govern.
