The defeated saint is also on the way to tame the evil god today

　"Cain, you can take everything from me..." Poerses murmured, "I don't want anything. I want revenge. I want to kill them all..."

　Revenge, these two words seemed to bring tears to his eyes, and the icy blue in Perses' eyes burned again.

　Seeing the ice flame from ancient times, the smile on Cain's face became more mysterious.

　"Okay," she said.

　Then, she turned around, stretched out her hand and chopped it lightly—

　"boom---

　—”

　A clear boundary was split in the black fog, and the black dragon was also split in half.

　He exploded into countless black pieces of flesh, and dark blood rain fell from the sky, watering the broken ruins.

　In the center of the ruins, Poerseth staggered to his feet, ice-blue flames burning on his body.

　He raised his head, bathing in the black rain of dragon blood, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

　He laughed, and his laughter grew louder and louder, and more and more crazy.

　The ice-blue flames gradually outlined the pitch-black armor, and the black dragon's blood bathed the armor and flowed along the majestic body.

　""

　After the black rain ended, the dark knight stood on the ruins of his family, with only a pair of ice-blue vertical pupils flickering between the gaps in his visor.

　Poerses Xia's figure was submerged in the rainstorm, and the existence of the Ice Dragon family was also submerged.

　The one who walked out of the rainstorm was Gu Longshou.

　He looked at the sunny sky, his eyes flashing with madness from eternity.

　That's ice flame.

　...END...

Chapter 404 When the Wind Howls

　Wuthering Heights - Southeastern Danzhou

　"Rumble..."

　As the stone gate slowly rose, Zuo Shangtang's face was exposed under the firelight.

　Fire, the fire burning the Dragon Boat Festival venue? Fire on the castle walls.

　The firelight stained the pale face of the former Danzhou governor with a hint of orange and yellow, but strangely it did not reflect in his pupils.

　"this way please."

　On the side, a knight in black armor bowed slightly and gestured for Zuo Shangtang to pass.

　Under their escort, Zuo Shangtang walked in the long stone corridor.

　A gloomy atmosphere permeated every corner of the place. The oil paintings in the corridor depicted grotesque ancient blood sacrifices. A sight seemed to be coming from between the seams of the armor of the knight standing in the corner.

　But Zuo Shangtang couldn't even feel much fear. It should be said that he couldn't feel much emotion at all.

　Three days have passed since the incident at the Dragon Boat Festival.

　These three days seemed so long to him that it seemed like a lifetime ago.

　Three days ago, he was the prefect of Danzhou. Although he was quite busy on weekdays, he was above thousands of people after all, and it was lonely at the top.

　And now, he is a traitor, a sinner, and an accomplice of the Black Dragon Society.

　No...wasn't it the same before? When he personally led the fleet to the sea and ordered them to fire at the Ice Dragon family's territory, the Zuo Shangtang, who had originally harbored justice and dreams, was already dead.

　When he witnessed the existence of the Ice Dragon family disappearing into history, when he witnessed the fall of a family and the obliteration of a period of history, how could he claim to be the guardian of history?

　He is just a speculator.

　He was afraid of losing everything he had gained, and kept telling himself that he was fighting for the people of Danzhou - there was no doubt that dragons were harmful.

　But in these short three days, he realized his hypocrisy.

　He wasn't fighting for anyone but himself.

　Now, there is no turning back.

　""

　"Clang."

　The door was opened and a howling wind blew in, causing Zuo Shangtang to squint his eyes slightly.

　He walked through the gate and onto the terrace high above Wuthering Fort.

　At the edge of the terrace, Doreen DuBois, clad in a black robe and with her tattooed hands bare, was already waiting. She stood at the edge of the terrace, her long hair blowing in the howling wind.

　Zuo Shangtang hesitated for a moment, then walked to her side and whispered:

　"You have something to do with me?"

　Doreen turned her head, her proud eyes briefly reflecting Zuo Shangtang's reserved face, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

　"I want you to be a witness."

　Doreen pointed into the distance, gazing at the maple leaf plain before her.

　Among the sparse sea of ​​clouds, small settlements and paddy fields on the plain can be vaguely seen. The cold wind rolls over the plain, blowing the sea of ​​clouds into wild strokes.

　At the end of the plain, the outline of an army was vaguely visible - it was the army sent by Danzhou Prefecture, deployed at the border of Howling Fort, and could attack at any time.

　After the Dragon Boat Incident, those troops had been deployed there and the stalemate lasted for three full days.

　"You know, the Danzhou people sent a messenger and asked me to hand you over," Duolin smiled and looked at Zuo Shangtang. "They really want your head. They even tried to persuade me to surrender and advised me not to act impulsively."

　"Then...will I be handed over?" Zuo Shangtang's voice was low.

　"I butchered the messenger and made him into sashimi, then prepared a dish and sent it over."

　Doreen still maintained her smile, and her golden vertical pupils flashed with a light that frightened Zuo Shangtang.

　He watched the servant turn his head again and look at the sparse Danzhou army on the plain.

　"The day the Ice Dragon family falls, we should take action. I will lend my army to Lin Yu and lend it to you. A low-ranking servant will accompany you and use his arms to summon a black dragon servant."

　"But the ice dragon lineage wasn't completely destroyed that day. Perses Xia survived, and so did Vivian Xia. Now, one of these two ice dragons serves the Supreme Being of Mortiheim, while the other follows the Golden Full Moon. We can't touch them at all."

　"Dragons are such difficult-to-kill creatures," Doreen sneered. "The Black Dragon Society's creed is to lurk in the shadows of history and manipulate history, but look, no matter what we do,

　No matter how many times those dragons were sung into the shadows of history, they would always emerge and try to bring Yan Xia back to the period ruled by the Ice Dragon Emperor.

　"This is the end of mercy, Master Zuo. We have been too kind, too restrained. For the sake of the welfare of the majority, we have ignored the laws of dragons. Their logic is the logic of violence, and only unlimited violence can completely eradicate them."

　"Whether it's the Ice Dragon family of the past or the Jiedushi of today, dragons exist in a different way, that's all."

　After listening to Doreen's words, Zuo Shangtang swallowed slightly.

　He considered it for a moment, then spoke softly:

　"So... what are you... going to do?"

　"This is what I asked you to witness," Doreen chuckled, "I want you to witness the beginning of a war..."

　After that, she waved her hand lightly and issued a simple instruction.

　The roar of huge rocks was heard, and Zuo Shangtang lowered his head in shock. He saw that the outline of Howling Fort was slowly beginning to split, and countless cracks appeared on the castle, and dust fell down.

　From those huge mouths, huge revolver cannons slowly stretched out. Each cannon had at least eight barrels, and the caliber was comparable to the main gun of an ironclad ship!

　"This...this is..." Zuo Shangtang was stunned for a moment.

　"The first fireworks of the new world."

　Doreen reached out and grasped a beam of dark light.

　Her eyes gradually turned pure black. At the same time, dark power spread across the outline of the castle, quickly entangling the huge cannons.

　The cannon began to rotate, and with the sound of gears turning, the outline of the castle began to tremble.

　"Witness," Doreen whispered, "unknown times."

　""

　On the distant plain, in front of the army, the observer put down his telescope and whispered:

　"Something seems to be wrong..."

　Before he had time to take a closer look, he heard distant roars coming from afar.

　"Boom boom boom boom——"

　On the horizon, the outline of Howling Fort was briefly blurred by the glow of fire, and then, black tracks streaked across the sky and flew towards them.

　It took several full seconds for the observers to realize that those black meteors were artillery shells!

　Fort Whistling is firing! Doreen DuBois is firing on her own initiative!

　"Everyone avoid! Everyone avoid!"

　The army began to retreat to the rear, trying to avoid the coverage of the artillery, but those dark meteors seemed to have life, falling straight towards the army under the fine-tuning of gravity.

　Before the shell landed, the observer inadvertently raised his head and briefly made eye contact with a shell.

　Yes, they looked at each other, because he saw that there were eyes growing on the shell.

　Dark eyes.

　"Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom -"

　Black flames exploded, instantly obliterating the outline of the army. As the Howling Fort continued to fire, more and more black blocks were smeared on the plain, turning everything covered into the unknown.

　An unknown force destroyed them in an instant.

　"They won't even know the war has begun," Doreen turned around and gave a faint smile to the stunned Zuo Shangtang, "Just watch, the wind will howl."

　After saying that, the hostess of Wuthering Heights turned and left, leaving Zuo Shangtang standing alone on the terrace.

　The former governor of Danzhou looked at the plain covered in darkness, slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

　His breathing became heavier, so heavy that he seemed to be falling, or perhaps he had already fallen to the bottom of the abyss and could no longer go down.

　Ruan Lili suddenly woke up from the sound of thunder and got up from the bed.

　She gasped and clutched her chest, feeling the blood rushing through her heart, the lingering feeling of the nightmare still lingering.

　She dreamed of the past again.

　""

　Ruan Lili lay flat on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

　A nightmare, another nightmare from the past.

　Ever since the Ice Dragon family was exterminated, she had been having the same dream over and over again.

　At that time, the Xiaolong family had not yet declined, and many members of the family had close relations with Danzhou Prefecture, and even integrated into the human race for a time.

　But on the second day after the Ice Dragon family was exterminated, Doreen Dubois came to the door.

　That day, her father and mother protected Ruan Lili behind them, and the Lord of Howling Castle had a smile on his face that Ruan Lili still could not forget.

　Her words haunted every one of Ruan Lili's nightmares:

　"Your family needs to lose about 70% of its members. In your family... just two will do."

　"Make a quick decision, or do you want to die together?"

　Even though she was young at that time, Ruan Lili knew that the demise of the Ice Dragon family would inevitably involve the Roaring Dragon family.

　But what she didn't expect was that this involvement would lead to an inhumane genocide.

　Ruan Lili also knew that the only reason the Xiaolong family had not been completely exterminated was because Xiaolong had made outstanding contributions to the transportation and shipping industries, and it would be a waste to kill them all.

　That day, she watched her father and mother bid farewell in tears, and watched them walk into the black flames and turn into ashes.

　That scene replayed itself in my nightmares, again and again.

　""

　Ruan Lili patted her face, got out of bed, changed her clothes, and pushed the door open to go out.

　She knew that her days of lurking in Danzhou Prefecture, working hard and being inferior to others were over.
