Dragon Monarch System
Chapter 233 233:- Blood Is Thicker Than Water

"This is the map of the Southern Fire Dragon Empire." Watson opened the map of the southern region. The Istarin Emperor stood opposite Watson with his arms folded on his chest. He looked at the territory of the Southern Fire Dragon Empire with a very serious expression.

The seven generals of the Istarin Empire stood beside Aditya and Watson. All of their eyes were on the southern fire Dragon Empire's map.

"Last time, Peak 5th-order cultivator, Kang, the elder of the Southern Fire Dragon Empire managed to survive even though the Black Dragon Emperor's son died. So including him, at the present moment, the southern fire Dragon Empire has two Peak 5th-order cultivators. The other one is obviously the black Dragon King, Brolbiner."

Watson paused to make sure that everyone was following him. "Other than two Peak 5th-order cultivators, the dragon Empire also has a few more Beginner 5th-order cultivators. One of them being the black dragon Emperor's eldest son. The other beginner 5th-order cultivators are the generals of the Southern Fire Dragon Empire."

"All of the Southern Fire Dragon Empire's troops were killed because of that overgrown snake." Even if Watson wasn't a natural-born Dragon. Having a drop of a Divine Dragon flowing through his veins, the old butler refused to call or acknowledge the great Sage snake with respect. In fact, Watson looked down on the Great Sage Snake. In Watson's eyes, other than having Mid 6th-order cultivation, this stupid overgrown snake had nothing else to offer.

"Things clearly didn't go as planned for the black dragon King. No one obviously expected a 6-star magic circle to be activated on the battlefield. The deaths of all the allied Empires' troops and their 5th-order generals will have a severe reaction from the allies. I feel that the allies would stop helping the Southern fire Dragon Empire and back out. The same could be said for the Northern Frost Dragon Empire."

The loss of a 5th-order general is not a small thing. Even for a big Empire, it would take at least 3 to 6 decades to have a beginner 5th-order cultivator. Not to mention the huge amount of resources and money used to raise those cultivators. Aside from the deaths of the generals, hundreds of thousands of troops died on the battlefield without obtaining any form of results. In a way, both dragon empires only used the allied troops to fight while preserving their own powers. This will obviously dissatisfy the allies.

"So right now the relationship between both Dragon Empires and the allied Empires is very shaky. The allied Empires must be asking for a satisfactory explanation. For even if we attack, this is very unlikely that the Storm Empire and the Ageless Islands would send any reinforcement."

"Or the chances of the opposite happening is also true."

"Your Majesty, do you believe that the Storm Empire and the Ageless Islands would help the Southern Fire Dragon King?"

"The probability that happening is very less."

12 hours ago,

In the middle of the night, a handsome young man stood on the balcony of the royal palace looking at the dark cloudy sky. It has been more than 12 hours since the Great Sage Snake showed up. By now, many big Empires, factions, and even forces from the Main continent have been sent here to investigate the whole matter. In the end, this conflict caught the attention of too many Empires from all continents; including the main continent.

"I was so close to victory. Yet just a single carelessness destroyed all of my happiness. If only I had sent someone to investigate the battlefield before the battle even started."

Sigh!

The cold, cruel, heartless, and bloodthirsty, black Dragon King that everyone knew looked oddly tired and exhausted.

It has been more than 500 years since he had seen his twin brothers. The hatred that both brothers had for each other was on another level. Despite being twins, despite having the same blood flowing through their veins, and despite having similar personalities and hobbies, both Dragon Kings could never bring themselves to like each other. The hate that they had for each other continued to grow with each passing year.

The enmity which at first started as a rivalry would only end with the one's death. In these 500+ years, the black dragon King never has slept peacefully. His heart always has been in flames. His heart always remained heartless.

But today, this was different.

"Strangely I feel very calm tonight. As if a huge burden has been lifted from my shoulders." Although the Black Dragon King is supposed to feel happy with him finally feeling peace, all he left was emptiness. Nothing but pure darkness. This feeling was very difficult to express in words.

"Did anything happen to that bastard?" The black dragon king asked out loud. Sadly no one answered him. Instead, a cold wind blew past him as if nature answered his question.

Who would have thought that after 500+ years, there would be a day when the Black Dragon King shows signs of being concerned about his biggest rival?

The black Dragon remained standing on the balcony while staring at the vast starry sky with an empty look. For the first time, those black pupils of his held no emotions in them. Usually, at this time of the night, he would have fun with his wives but right now he strangely didn't feel like doing any of that.

And just like this, the whole night passed. The black dragon stood on the balcony in silence for the whole night. When the first ray of the morning sunlight reflected on his handsome face, he finally decided to leave the balcony. This entire night, he was lost in the memories of his childhood. The days when he and his brother spend time with their father. Their brotherhood turned into a rivalry because of their father who wanted to motivate both of them to become stronger. Their rivalry turned into something that cost the lives of millions.

While walking out of the balcony, the black dragon King tightly clenched his fists. 'There is no doubting it. That bastard is dead. I am not sure who killed him. Maybe it's that giant overgrown Snake or someone else. I don't care. Without him, the Northern Frost Dragon Empire would soon fall. This will be my opportunity.'

The last thing the black Dragon King desired was to finish what he wanted and this was to unite both Dragon Kings.

"But before that, I will need to have a serious conversation with my allies. Now that that bastard is dead, I won't need them anymore." Brolbiner's eyes flashed in madness and were full of killing intent. For some reason, he strangely felt anger. Even though he is not sure why he feels this way. Maybe the death of his brother was emotionally affecting him. After all, blood is thicker than water.

After reaching the throne hall, the black dragon King summoned his prime minister.

"Oliver?"

"Sire, how can I help you?"

"Call the representatives of both allied empires." In less than 5 minutes, two old men were standing before Brolbiner.

"Your majesty, I heard that you have summoned us." In front of Brolbiner himself, not even the representatives dared to show any disrespect. Even a fool can see that Brolbiner looked much angrier than usual. The atmosphere inside the throne hall was much tenser and suffocating than usual.

"I heard that both Strom Emperor and the Ageless Islands emperor wanted an explanation from me." Everyone in the throne hall shivered when hearing the ice-cold tone of the Dragon King. Meanwhile, the faces of both representatives turned pale. From the tone of Brolbiner, they knew they needed to escape. Unfortunately for them, this place is a prison from which they can never escape. Even if Brolbiner and Kang didn't do anything, other powerful figures living in his royal palace would be able to kill them even before they can leave the throne hall.

"Your Majesty, I....I...." The storm Empire's representative began to shutter in fear while the other one couldn't even utter a single word as his body shook violently in fear.

All of a sudden, Brolbiner smiled. For some reason, this smile even made their souls shudder in fear. Brolbiner said nothing. He just stood up and started walking down the stairs very slowly while staring at two old men who were nothing but chickens that he can slaughter at any given time.

"What sort of compensation do both of you want?" Neither of them had the courage to reply as Brolbiner continued to walk down the stairs.

"Your Majesty.....we....I....afw"

Hmph!

"Pathetic!" Brolbiner waved his right hand. The next second the entire throne hall fell into darkness. There was no light in the throne hall. But all of sudden, from the floor thousands of skeleton snakes, started coming out.

Everyone took a step back in fear seeing those skeletons with green venomous pupils moving at the two representatives.

No!!!

Please!!! Ahhhhh!!!

Ahhh!!!!!

Everyone was terrified seeing how ruthlessly two men were bitten dead. However, Brolbiner's eyes held no emotions for them. Everyone felt that today the black dragon king was acting strange.

"Send their bodies back home. Also, prepare for the war. This time I will be personally leading this War. I want everyone..." The black Dragon king paused as if sensing something. He raised his head and looked up. Before he can fully register what was going on, the temperature of the entire capital started rising rapidly.

What followed next was...
