Long Aotian was momentarily stunned, and then he angrily declared:
"Don’t think that just because we lost the War God and Long Kui, we have no combat power. Our Great Dragon Empire is full of strong warriors. Just wait and see!"
After speaking, Long Aotian turned around and walked out of the hall.
The result of this negotiation was as he expected, but he did not anticipate that the Flying Leopard Empire would be so high-spirited now, completely different from a few years ago.
Using the Transmission Array, Long Aotian quickly returned to the Royal Palace and met his father.
Seeing Long Aotian return empty-handed, the Emperor of Great Dragon remained exceptionally calm.
"Father, I have conveyed your message to the Flying Leopard Emperor, yet he refused to bring out Yang Xiao and even told me,
if we want war, then war it shall be; he awaits you on the battlefield!"
The Emperor of Great Dragon chuckled and said,
"Did the Flying Leopard Empire also tell you that without the War God and Long Kui, we cannot engage them in battle?"
Long Aotian was surprised and looked at his father,
"Father, how did you know?"
"Hehe, the Flying Leopard Emperor and I have clashed countless times over the past hundred years. His character and temperament are as clear as day to me, and likewise, he knows mine very well."
Long Aotian looked at his father and asked seriously,
"Father, what do we do now?"
"What to do? Hehe, do you think I gathered an army of a hundred thousand overnight just to make a show and intimidate them?"
"If war truly breaks out, we,"
Long Aotian didn’t continue, but his meaning was clear.
Just like the Flying Leopard Emperor said, without the War God and Long Kui, the Great Dragon Empire is like a dragon without a head. Even if still mighty, it lacks sharpness.
The Emperor of Great Dragon glanced at his son and then at the other War Generals in the hall, smirking as he spoke:
"Do you all think that our Great Dragon Empire is no longer a match for the Flying Leopard Empire?"
The hall fell silent for a moment.
Long Ba, the Commander of the Guard Team, stepped forward and declared loudly:
"Our Great Dragon Empire’s Guard Team is steadfast and our combat power is sharp. As soon as His Majesty the Emperor commands, I will immediately lead a hundred thousand elites to flatten the Flying Leopard Empire."
Then, everyone shouted in unison:
"Flatten the Flying Leopard Empire!"
"Kill Yang Xiao, avenge the Third Prince!"
"Avenge the War God!"
"Avenge the Dean!"
...
For a moment, the crowd was filled with rage, and the shouts were as thunderous as a storm.
The War God and Long Kui were highly influential figures in the Great Dragon Empire, deeply loved and respected by their subordinates. Yang Xiao’s killing of the two had long accumulated much resentment in their hearts.
Previously, the Emperor of Great Dragon had not ordered a war, so everyone barely suppressed their resentment.
Now, with the killing of the Third Prince by Yang Xiao, the enraged Emperor of Great Dragon decided to go to war, igniting and bursting forth the suppressed hatred of the people.
The Emperor of Great Dragon, satisfied, glanced at the crowd in the hall, waved his hand, and the hall immediately quieted down.
"Good! I am gratified to see you still so full of fighting spirit and courage. This is the vigor that our Great Dragon Empire’s iron army should have!
I also know what you are worried about. However, with me personally leading the battle, you can rest assured. In this battle, I shall certainly bathe the Flying Leopard Empire in blood, kill Yang Xiao, and avenge the fallen War God, Long Kui, as well as the Third Prince, to bolster our nation’s prestige!"
Hearing this, the people were also filled with enthusiasm, shouting again:
"Bathe the Flying Leopard Empire in blood, kill Yang Xiao, bolster the nation’s prestige!"
...
The Emperor of Great Dragon waved his hand again, and the shouting ceased.
"Before we set off, I have some good news to tell you. Standing alongside you in battle will not only be me but also the elder of our Great Dragon Empire’s Royal Family, the Thunder God!"
Inside the hall, upon hearing this, the people instantly fell silent, each person was shocked, staring dumbfounded at the Emperor of Great Dragon.
Thunder God!
For the soldiers of the Great Dragon Empire, this name was all too familiar.
In everyone’s mind, the Thunder God was practically the emblem of the Great Dragon Empire.
The Thunder God was the Emperor of Great Dragon’s uncle.
The father of the Emperor of Great Dragon and the Thunder God were brothers who shook the Witch Star Continent two hundred years ago, invincible, and together they carved out the vast territory of the current Great Dragon Empire.
During a hunting expedition, the two brothers ventured into a deep mountain and encountered an Emperor Level Realm demon beast. In the struggle, the Emperor of Great Dragon’s father was accidentally killed by the beast.
Although the Thunder God slew the beast, he could not save his brother’s life.
On his deathbed, the brother entrusted his son to the Thunder God.
The Thunder God was deeply devoted to his brother. Back then, the current Emperor of Great Dragon was young and unqualified to inherit the throne, so the Thunder God personally aided him in ascending to the throne, leading the Great Dragon Empire.
Even later, with a formidable royal rival like the War God, no one dared to covet the throne.
Decades ago, sensing his end was near, the Thunder God retired to the Royal Forest of the Great Dragon Empire, vanishing ever since.
For decades, everyone accepted that the Thunder God had passed away.
Now, with the Emperor of Great Dragon suddenly mentioning the Thunder God’s name, everyone was naturally utterly shocked. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com
Many people present had only heard legends of the Thunder God and had never met him in person.
Long Aotian looked at his father in astonishment,
"Father, Grandfather Thunder God, he, he,"
At that moment, Long Aotian didn’t know what to say.
Wasn’t it said that the Thunder God had already died? How could the Thunder God suddenly be brought up?
The Emperor of Great Dragon chuckled and said,
"The Thunder God disappeared decades ago, officially declared dead, but in truth, he did not die. He secluded himself in the deep mountains to cultivate a new Genetic Evolution Method,
Back then, only I knew about the Thunder God’s retreat for cultivation. Over the years, I visited him annually in the Royal Forest. Now, he is ready to emerge from his seclusion,
Enough with the words. Come with me to the Royal Forest to welcome the Thunder God’s return."
Hearing the Emperor of Great Dragon’s words, everyone was aghast yet immensely excited.
The Thunder God was once at an Emperor Level Advanced Realm; such evolutionary cultivation today leaves him nearly unrivaled.
If the Thunder God is indeed alive and can help the Great Dragon Empire conquer the Flying Leopard Empire, this war would be a breeze.
Initially, everyone had their concerns, but after hearing about the Thunder God’s assistance, they naturally became extremely excited.
"This is great, with Senior Thunder God’s assistance, not just the Flying Leopard Empire, even the Genetic Store Elder Court will have to submit."
"Who would have thought the Thunder God is still alive? The heavens truly bless our Great Dragon Empire!" frёewebnoѵēl.com
...
The Emperor of Great Dragon, leading over a hundred Imperial Generals and officials, left the Royal Palace hall, soared into the sky, and headed towards the Imperial Forest hundreds of kilometers away.
This was a sprawling Primitive Forest, stretching thousands of kilometers, which had always served as the Royal Forest.
The Emperor of Great Dragon frequently brought his subordinates here to hunt.
The Emperor of Great Dragon led over a hundred generals, flying within the Royal Forest, reaching a mist-shrouded Shan Feng, and descended halfway up.
In front of a massive cavern of Divine Mountain, the Emperor of Great Dragon said,
"Everyone, wait here. I will invite the Thunder God to emerge."
