Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 472 The Platinum Dragon King's Request: The Death of the "Dark God"?
The atmosphere became quiet!

Facing this true dragon king, perhaps only the one before us could speak in such a way.

This kind of "questioning".

This did not anger the Platinum Dragon King; instead, his amber vertical pupils revealed a sense of nostalgia.

In the past, when the Platinum Dragon King traveled with the old woman and others, he controlled the empty Platinum Armor from a distance in place of himself.

Therefore, after their true colors were exposed, their companions were furious, and the resentment they felt at that time has not yet subsided.

That's right!

The old woman before me is none other than Ligulite Beres Karau, one of the 13 heroes, known as the "Necromancer".

Silence cannot be taken as a response.

Ligulite's sarcastic voice rang out, "Or is it that you disdain to explain to this old woman?"

I heard the tone of voice I had expected, just like always.

The Platinum Dragon King couldn't help but smile, recalling the noisy daily life during his past travels, which was a very pleasant memory.

"It was indeed I who instigated the Azure Sky Dragon King to put pressure on the Kingdom of Ri Yestijer."

The Platinum Dragon King responded softly, his voice still gentle, his gaze sweeping over Ligulite's fingers:
"The ring seems to be missing. Where did you put it?"

“…Oh, I do think no one should be able to take anything from you, but it is, after all, a powerful tool that transcends the realm of humanity.”

It's not entirely a change of topic!

It was an item made with "Primordial Magic," but now the power of that magic has been corrupted and distorted, making it difficult to create the same item again.

As one of the few true dragon kings currently bearing the "primordial magic"!
The Platinum Dragon King naturally wanted to ascertain the ring's whereabouts.

"Don't change the subject." Upon hearing this, Ligulite raised her hand.
"But you have a really sharp eye. Is it a dragon's ability to sense treasure? ... Oh well, don't worry, I've given it to a young man."

Platinum Dragon King nodded slightly: "Is that so? Since it was you who decided to give it to me, it shouldn't be wrong."

The implication is clear!

This statement, which conveyed a great deal of trust in the person in front of him, caused Li Guli's tense and dissatisfied expression to ease slightly.

"I don't know what you're trying to do."

"Based on my understanding of you, you wouldn't be so bored as to manipulate a war and do something so despicable just to 'relieve your boredom'."

Ligulite raised her head and stared at the Platinum Dragon King. "Whether it's a kingdom or an empire, with your power, no one can stop you from destroying these two countries."

"Why do such a thing? Once war breaks out, the number of dead and wounded will be in the tens of thousands, whether in a kingdom or an empire!"

Ligurt's voice grew heavy at the end.

"No one can stop him...?"

The Platinum Dragon King's breathing was long and deep, and he did not reply directly: "That's hard to say. Another aftershock is coming, Ligulite."

"This time, I may not stand on the side of the world like the team leader did."

"So you believe me, Ligurette?"

"What does this have to do with you manipulating the war between kingdoms and empires..." Ligulite's voice rose an octave.

"I hope I can get your help."

A faint voice sounded.

Ligulite paused, frowning and looking at the Platinum Dragon King with surprise.

"I would like to trouble you to infiltrate the Slane Theocracy and conduct an investigation."

"A concealment ability that can even fool a dragon king like me. There shouldn't be anyone in the Slane Theocracy who could easily discover your existence."

"At least that mysterious, supposedly deeply hidden 'Black Scripture'—no one can discover you."

The Platinum Dragon King spoke very sincerely, allowing Ligulite to process the information before continuing:
"With the assistance of the Azure Sky Dragon King, the Kingdom should be unable to stop the Empire. The Slan Theocracy will definitely intervene in this matter while their main focus is on the war between the two countries."

"It should be easier for you to infiltrate the church."

"The war between the kingdom and the empire is not important. The course of the war between the two countries can be easily controlled, and it will not cause too many casualties."

Ligurt remained silent, seemingly deep in thought.

For a good while.

“I want to know the deeper reasons!” Ligulette said.

"Whoo~"

The Platinum Dragon King breathed softly, his gaze falling on a slightly oddly shaped longsword not far away:
"This aftershock, which is a once-in-a-century event, may be different from the past. My goal is to protect this world, and humanity is naturally one of the key members."

"The Slane Theocracy believes in 'human supremacy,' which is naturally not a problem for individual humans, but foreign races that want to cooperate with it have to face this belief."

"And the Theocracy possesses the legacy of the six great gods, making it a force that cannot be ignored."

"I understand."

Ligurette's pale hair was tied back, swaying slightly as she moved her head.
"Before that, there is something I would like to confirm again."

"You said."

"Is the 'Dark God,' one of the legendary six gods, truly dead?"

"As an immortal who governs the god of death, I always felt that the other party died somewhat rashly in the legends."

The Dark God?
A towering, undead figure appeared in the Platinum Dragon King's mind, completely unlike anything ordinary people could imagine.

"If it were any other question, I might not be able to confirm whether 'Dark God' Sirshana is indeed dead."

The Platinum Dragon King responded with a complex tone and commented:
"The other person is an impressive guy who has abandoned the natural hatred that his race should have for the living."

"Perhaps the words 'bold' and 'naive' can be used to describe the 'Dark God,' who symbolizes death and darkness in your human eyes."

Ligulite stared at the Platinum Dragon King with surprise. From the other party's words, she could tell that the "Dark God" and the Platinum Dragon King seemed to know each other.

"I never imagined that the legend of dying at the hands of the Eight Desire Kings was actually true."

Ligulite muttered something complex to herself, then turned and walked out of the hall without looking back.
"I see!"

“Safety is the most important thing, Ligurette. We are the only ones left of our former companions.”

The White Dragon King watched the old woman's retreating figure, his clear voice echoing throughout the hall.

Ligurt paused for a moment, then continued walking without changing her pace, merely raising her hand to wave.

Until the figure completely disappeared!

The Platinum Dragon King closed his eyes again, and the entire hall was plunged into darkness once more.

Did the "Dark God" die at the hands of the Eight Desire Kings?
It heard Ligurt talking to herself just now.

The Platinum Dragon King did not correct it; it did not see any point in doing so.

…………

Rumble!
The exquisite palace was shattered by the attack of a massive figure, and the terrifying shockwave swept up the broken stones and tiles, sending them flying in all directions.

"what!"

"what!"

"...!"

The palace guards positioned not far away were suddenly met with a flurry of screams.

"I said it!"

The Azure Dragon King's furious roar echoed across the royal city, "You only have one month, and now you tell me you're not ready?"

Unlike last time when it was just a forceful attitude!

At this moment, the Azure Sky Dragon King unleashed his dragon might without restraint. The oppressive aura emanating from this high-level and superior being caused some ordinary guards and maids to faint on the spot.

Even the elite troops transferred from the "Gazef Legion" and the "Crimson Rose Legion" were all paralyzed on the ground, completely unable to resist.

"Uh...uh..."

Lambusa III's eyes were beginning to roll back, and his body swayed as if he were about to fall to the ground.

As a king in his fifties, even if he had some martial prowess in his youth, it has declined significantly by now. The reason he has been able to hold on until now is because of this.

They carry magical items that provide mental resistance, as well as various items that enhance their abilities.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

Renas and Lajus were sweating profusely, their hands firmly supporting Lambusa III to prevent her from actually falling.

Lajus secretly unleashed various priestly skills that granted protection and resistance, allowing Lambusa III to barely maintain his dignity as king.

He wouldn't end up like the soldiers around him.

Some have already gushed out completely, even revealing a dirty, ugly, and pathetic state!
Fully armed, Gerdav stood at the forefront, without drawing his sword, remaining rooted to the spot like a statue, helping the king withstand some of the pressure from the dragon's might.

"hateful!"

Lajus was furious and indignant: "The Council is interfering in the kingdoms, no, it is instigating a civil war among mankind."

They looked up at the arrogant figure of the Dragon King floating in the sky.

Lajus longed to lead the [Blue Rose] squad to accomplish the legendary feat of "slaying the dragon".

can.

She couldn't do that. The Azure Dragon King was backed by the Council of Nations, not an independent monster, and adventurers couldn't interfere in wars between nations.

"Your Excellency, Dragon King's Envoy."

King Rambusha III swallowed hard, forcibly suppressing his inner shock and managing to steady his trembling voice as he stammered:
"This is not because we are slacking off. Integrating the troops and gathering forces will take a lot of time."

"Moreover, we also need to consider logistics and a series of other issues. Within a month, it is simply impossible to mobilize a large number of troops."

This is a fact.

Not entirely!

Faced with the oppression of the Azure Dragon King, he launched the absurd act of waging war against the empire.

None of the nobles in the entire kingdom wanted to do this, but they had no choice but to take the corresponding action.

finally.

From royalty to nobles, a subconscious consensus has emerged: "delay"!
The Azure Dragon King opened his mouth, revealing sharp teeth, and a cold smile appeared on his lips.

It can guess some of these humans' thoughts, but their self-righteous understanding is just another proof of their stupidity.

Inferior race!
"Human King, you still haven't figured out one thing."

The Azure Dragon King arrogantly raised his head, his voice suddenly turning cold, and his long, azure-scaled tail lashed down from the sky like a whip.
You have no choice!

Boom!

The earth groaned in agony. The elite guard force of several dozen men was unable to put up any resistance and was whipped into a pulp by the Azure Dragon King's tail.

Blood blossoms shot into the sky!

Minced meat mixed with fragments of internal organs flew out like squeezed mud, and a strong smell of blood instantly spread.

Queen Lambusa III's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Your Majesty the Dragon King!!"

Lajus's face flushed red with rage. Unable to contain himself any longer, he took a step forward and rushed to the front, reaching into his magic belt at his waist:
"Aren't you going a bit too far? Princess Lana signed an alliance agreement with your council, not a vassal state agreement."

"We can refuse!"

Lajus drew his magic sword, its dark blade shimmering with starlight, and instantly doubled in size.

"Rajus...?"

Lambusa III spoke anxiously, his face filled with worry, yet also with a certain sense of satisfaction.

Lajus said everything he wanted to say.

"Oh."

The Azure Dragon King narrowed his dragon eyes, staring at the demonic sword in Rajus's hand. A slight glint appeared in his eyes, but he calmly expressed his resistance, saying:
"Your name is Lajus, right? I know you, the leader of 'Blue Rose'."

"Refuse? Of course you can."

As soon as these words came out!
Everyone present from the Kingdom's side was stunned for a moment.

"I have said it."

"You have never understood one thing from beginning to end: it was my grace that you were given the opportunity to attack the Empire!"

The Azure Dragon King spoke with an air of authority, showing no sign of absurdity, but rather as if it were perfectly natural:
"You should thank your princess for allowing me to choose your kingdom first."

"You can refuse now."

"Then I will choose the Empire to attack you; it makes no difference to me."

His calm and composed tone sent chills down the spines of everyone on the kingdom's side.

Lord Charles's order.

The goal is to instigate a war between the kingdom and the empire; it doesn't matter which side the government takes the lead in manipulating the situation.

They noticed the eerie silence below.

The Azure Dragon King grinned smugly, raised his thick, powerful dragon arm, flicked out his sharp nails, and lightly rubbed them together, saying unhurriedly:
"I don't like nonsense—send troops now!"

"this matter……"

Lajus's bright face turned ugly. He stepped forward again, gripped the magic sword tightly, and spoke loudly.

But he didn't finish his sentence.

"Enough, Larjus!"

Lambusa III took a deep breath, barely managing to steady himself. His aged voice interrupted Lajus, and he looked up at the figure in the air:
"Your Excellency Dragon King's Envoy, I'll leave the matter of dealing with the Empire to you from now on."

“Your Majesty?” Lajus turned around, staring at Lambusa III with wide, shocked eyes.

Renas and Gerdoff remained silent throughout; in this matter, they had no right or qualification to influence the king's judgment.

That night!

The royal conscription order was then issued to the six noble families.

Lambusa III naturally mobilized not only the troops of the pro-royalist faction, but also the troops of the noble faction, and even gave them priority.

If it were placed before...

Such a large-scale troop mobilization, especially since it involves forced conscription from the territories of other nobles, is unlikely to be sustainable.

but.

After abandoning the resistance, Lambusa III easily used the existence of the Azure Dragon King to suppress the voices of rebellion from the various nobles.

The time has come.

Mid-Water Month, February 2nd.

Nearly 10 troops were mobilized and began their march toward the border city of Ye Lantier.
