Chapter 1167 1167. Powerful Intimidation

Jack put his sword on Arther's neck, his beast form had ended. He shouted using mana manipulation, causing his voice to reverberate everywhere, "Everyone, stop...!!!"

The charging soldiers stopped. Mostly because of seeing Arther's condition rather than hearing Jack's voice.

"Let... Let our lord marshall go...!" One of the soldiers exclaimed.

Jack looked at Arther who was still kneeling.

"It is over. Kill me!" Arther exclaimed. "I'll never serve you."

Storm Breaker's blade remained on Arther for a few seconds before it was lowered. Seeing that act, Arther uttered with discontent, "What is the meaning of this? Kill me! I don't need your pity."

"Why do you rebel?" Jack asked. "I don't mind if you don't serve me, but why do you rebel? You know this will just cause bloodshed among Themisphere's people."

"Hmph! Why? You ask? It's because you are not the rightful Themisphere king!"

"Why do you say that? Because I am an outworlder?"

Arther didn't answer the question. He put on a defiant expression.

"The world and the people of this country acknowledged me as the king!" Jack exclaimed.

"Just because the Goddess said it, doesn't make it true!" Arther shouted back.

"The Goddess is not the only one who acknowledges me," Jack said and equipped his title, Rightful Themisphere King. He had been using the Hero of Themisphere title during the battle because that title boosted his battle capabilities.

Arther was visibly distraught after seeing the title. He knew what this title meant. It meant Jack had been acknowledged by the past kings of Themisphere.

"This... How can this be...?" He didn't want to believe that Themisphere's past kings willingly handed the crown to someone who was not of their blood. Moreover, someone who was an outworlder.

"I know you are unwilling to trust me. But know that I challenge you to a duel so that no innocent Themisphere civilian loses their life. Do you see my army? We can easily siege this town and take you all down, but the ones who suffer will be the civilians inside the city. I don't want that to happen!"

"Big talk! You just don't want to show your true color!" A familiar voice was heard. Jack turned and saw Warren among the soldiers that had come out of the city gate. The soldiers didn't dare to approach because Jack could still kill Arther easily under the situation.

"You..." Jack's eyes narrowed after seeing Warren. He also spotted Walter beside the ex-magistrate.

Warren didn't stop. "You just don't want to lose your army! You know you won't be able to take us down easily. All this talk about sparing the civilians is just an excuse."

"If I want to take down this city. I can do it on my own. I don't need an army," Jack uttered.

"Hahaha! I don't even know how to respond to such bullshit," Warren mocked.

Jack lifted his king badge. It shone a bright blue. All of a sudden, everyone heard the loudest roar they ever heard in their lives. The roar was not only loud, but it also pierced into the depth of their hearts and made them tremble. They all felt a great urge to fall to their knees and capitulated to whatever uttered that roar.

They all instinctively looked up. They saw a shadow behind the clouds that filled the sky. A shadow of something extremely big. The clouds parted and a layer of blue light descended. With it, the largest dragon they had ever seen flew down through the clouds.

The dragon had an elongated body covered by dazzling blue scales, with two large wings spanning hundreds of meters. It roared again as it descended. Shockwave radiated from his roar. This time, many did drop to their knees.

The dragon flew above the city and made several turns. Everyone in the city had a good look at it. They were all terrified about what this fearsome creature intended to do.

It then flew back outside the city gate and hovered right above Jack. Its massive head bent down and stared at the army that stand before Jack.

"This... A level 95 eternal grade ancient dragon...," Arther uttered. His voice was shaking.

The nearby soldiers and officers who heard Arther's words couldn't help but tremble.

"This... Is this...?" Arther couldn't finish his words. He couldn't bring himself to believe what he wanted to ask. He didn't need to.

"This is our new country guardian, Broidrireg!" Jack announced. His voice was again enhanced by mana manipulation. Everyone heard it clearly, even many of the citizens who were near the main city gate.

"Coun... Country guardian...," Arther was full of disbelief. This dragon was even more powerful than their previous country guardian, Tiemezzys.

Arther had previously met Tiemezzys. He could sense from the pressure, the difference between Broidrireg and Tiemezzys was not just their levels. Broidrireg was much more ancient. Its power was deeper. If he dared to compare, Tiemezzys could be described as just a child in the presence of Broidrireg.

"Ho... How...?" Arther asked.

Arther was asking Jack, but it was Broidrireg who answered him. "It is because I believe he is the one who can bring Themisphere and this world to prosper."

Arther could hardly believe his ears. Such a declaration from a being as powerful as Broidrireg. He needed no more persuasion.

"I yield," he said.

Everyone heard Arther's words. Warren panicked after hearing it. "No... Lord Marshall, you cannot give up! We cannot let Themisphere fall to the hands of the outworlders. We must fight for what's right! We mustâ€""

"I said, I YIELD...!!" Arther bellowed. "Everyone! Lay down your weapons!"

The soldiers looked at each other. One by one, they dropped their weapons to the ground.

"No... No! Everyone, we mustn't give up! We must..."

"Oh, shut up, Warren!" Castus scolded. "It is over."

"No..." Warren's face was pale.

Seeing that the soldiers were surrendering, Jack send John a message. The surrounding army started advancing again. The surrendered soldiers gazed at the incoming army with wariness.

Jack waited until those soldiers came near before announcing, "Everyone who has joined this attempted rebellion! Those below the rank of Knight Lieutenant are pardoned from any punishment. I believe you are just following commands. As for all court officers and Military officers with the rank of Minister and Knight Lieutenant or above, you will be demoted by one rank. Any of you who don't accept this punishment can go ahead and resign. I won't give you any trouble."
