Chapter 537 - Supernatural Evolution
There are many ways to kill Watson. The a.s.sa.s.sins can infiltrate the cities in the Holy Dragon Kingdom and disguise themselves as humans. They can catch Watson off guard and attack him when he pa.s.ses by!"
Four ancient men sat together with King Jersey in the forest, in the elven army"s headquarters, deciding how to cope with Watson.
The four elders were discussing the issue. King Jersey did nothing but cross his arms and frown, deep in thought.
"Daphne, it"s okay to ambush Watson, but who should do it? Your a.s.sa.s.sins? While they are great, they would not be able to kill Watson. Even I can"t fight him. That suggests the youngster either has a formidable tool or his strength exceeds mine."
Landon fiercely disputed Daphne"s notion. "For such a strong guy, as long as the killer has a hint of killing intent, he will be immediately discovered. Even if he can"t feel the killer"s murdering intent, it is useless."
"What about poison?"
"Poison is also not an option. A person of such strength also has a certain level of poison resistance. It will be hard to injure him unless it is an incurable poison. Didn"t His Majesty say it is best to catch him alive?"
"This will not work. That, too, will not work. Tell me what to do, Landon." Daphne"s eyes narrowed as she huffed in displeasure after being rejected numerous times.
"I am thinking," Landon resentfully answered. It was clear that he did not have a good idea. Pagani, who was not far away, shoved his spectacles upward. "So, no matter what approach is used, the key is to ensure that it is effective against Watson and will not injure him. I have an idea," he said calmly.
"What is it?"
Everyone asked in unison, and even the Elven King looked at him.
"We can use the power of law in the elven chess pieces to our advantage. The G.o.ds fought over the race chess pieces in ancient times, and they had great power. Fortunately, our ancestors did their best to retain some of the elven chess pieces back then, and he left one for us to keep, allowing the elven race to survive until today! If we can exploit the energy stored within the chess pieces, we will be able to injure Watson and also make a breakthrough in that fight."
"Pagani, are you crazy? Unless it is a matter of life and death, we must not use the elven chess piece or reveal its existence. Otherwise, we will face a disaster."
When confronted with Daphne"s answer, Pagani stated calmly, "It is a question of life and death. Do you think the Holy Dragon Kingdom will let us go if we don"t catch Watson and defeat them? The war has already started. There is no other option than determining the outcome."
"You"re right." Daphne"s voice had weakened.
"Using the power of the elven chess piece—not bad. That is a good idea. As long as we can destroy the Holy Dragon Kingdom, we have to try everything! I"ll use that power now. You guys can go to the army later and choose a hundred soldiers. I have a good plan."
King Jersey crossed his hands and stood up from his seat after a brief period of thought. He had a grim look in his eyes.
"I wonder if Your Majesty has any good ideas. Can I hear them?"
At that moment, a woman"s voice came from outside the tent. The Forest Dragon King, Rita, slowly walked in from outside. Her right hand was twirling her green hair, and her expression was neutral.
"Do you still have the guts to return here, Forest Dragon King?" King Jersey snorted, his cheeks flushed with uncontrollable rage. "Who allowed you in here? I explicitly told the soldiers not to let anyone in during our discussion."
He would have slain King Landhar III if not for the Forest Dragon King"s intervention. The Holy Dragon Kingdom would undoubtedly tumble into disarray if King Landhar III abdicated.
"I don"t want to come back either, but I have to keep my commitment! Are you referring to the soldiers?" The Forest Dragon King clapped her hands, and someone entered the tent. It was two dragons, each holding an unconscious elf soldier.
"You not only aided the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but you also attacked my subordinates! You have broken your promise! Are you planning to a.s.sault me next?"
"It appears that Your Majesty has misunderstood my intention. I am not going to do that. We had already agreed that you would provide me water from the Spring of Life, and I would a.s.sist you in dealing with the Holy Dragon Kingdom when we signed the contract. However, Young Master Watson was not included in the equation. Young Master Watson is the Dragon Emperor and part of the Dragon Clan! I do not mind if you attack the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but please don"t blame me for being rude if you dared attack Young Master Watson. For example, the new idea you mentioned, if there is anything that would be detrimental to the Dragon Emperor, please excuse me for not agreeing with it."
The Forest Dragon King was smiling, but the coldness in her words made everyone in the room tremble unconsciously.
"Rest a.s.sured, Forest Dragon King. We have no intention of attacking Watson. We were just discussing how to capture King Landhar III." Pagani quickly tried to smooth things over, and only then did the Forest Dragon King restrain her terrifying, powerful aura. "I see. I"ve helped in the fortress city just now. I"m a little tired now. I need to go back and rest."
The Forest Dragon King motioned toward her two followers to toss the elf guards to the ground and walk away without looking back.
The Elven King gnashed his teeth in rage at the scene. He tightened his fists unconsciously. "She obviously did nothing, yet she is exhausted. That sc.u.mbag, disgusting woman."
"It is pointless to be upset now, Your Majesty. It is good that the dragons did not express open hostility toward us. We may temporarily keep the dragons happy in this approach! However, what should we do next? Should we keep going after Watson?" Daphne seemed concerned.
She grew unsure of the plan that they had devised after hearing the Forest Dragon King"s statements. After all, she had seen how the Forest Dragon King had repelled the ancestor elf"s onslaught with one blow. The implications would be unthinkable if the dragons sided with the Holy Dragon Kingdom because of Watson.
"Keep going with the plan. The dragon wants me to quit? They are underestimating me."
"As long as I activate the chess piece"s power, the elves will get a breakthrough," King Jersey said as he released his clenched fist and drew a race chess piece that s.h.i.+mmered with a faint green glow. "It makes no difference how powerful the Forest Dragon King is. After all, according to the elves" records, their power exceeds that of regular G.o.ds and might even be more extraordinary.. That ability was dubbed the Supernatural Evolution by the ancient elves.
