Chapter 799: 796, Manina’s Sophistry_1
Pu Langte activated the “amplification module” of the mecha, magnifying the call interface 100 times and turning it towards the group of giant dragons on the top of Lin Long mountain.
Let Manina explain this to the Giant Dragons himself!
“Red Dragon Queen Your Excellency, Dragon Emperor Your Excellency, friends of the Dragon Race, please believe me, I really didn’t know about this!” Mariana appeared innocent in the video call:
“Everyone should know that we, the Raging Sun people, have always respected the Giant Dragon Clan greatly.
Every year we hold the Lin Long ceremony, where the most excellent Skuru people and the dragon race become partners. Our cooperation with the dragon race has always been based on mutual benefit.
If I discovered the bodies of dragon clan, I would definitely send it to Dragon Island first according to the treaty we previously signed. How could I secretly deal with it behind your back? Isn’t it so, everyone?”
“Bah!” The Red Dragon Queen spat out a dragon breath from within the mountain belly. She could no longer be bothered to pay any attention to this despicable and shameless person.
If it wasn’t for the knowledge of the “Bloodline Curse”, she would have really believed the Raging Sun people were good!
The Dragon Emperor and a few other Dragon Kings also wore faces of rage. In the past, they thought too highly of the Raging Sun people and only now do they realize how despicable and vile they are!
In the video call, Manina continued to explain, full of grief over his misconduct: “However, I am to blame for all this. Such a big incident happened under my reign and I was absolutely clueless. It’s a severe dereliction of my duty as an emperor.
So here’s what we’ll do. Give me half a month, I will definitely get to the bottom of this! When the time comes, I will personally go to Dragon Island to apologize, bringing with me the head of the culprit behind the scenes!
All the illegal earnings accrued by the organization that the culprit belongs to, along with an apology fee from our Empire, will also be brought to Dragon Island.
Here, I express my deepest regret for this matter, and I will do everything I can to make up for my incompetence.
I will bring the plotter to justice and give the deceased Red Dragon King an explanation!”
Manina’s words were sincere and filled with self-criticism for his failures and anger towards the plotter, as if he really had no knowledge of this matter.
As for Manina himself, he had been hiding in a large city in the southwest direction of the empire, without returning to the Imperial City.
Manina is not a fool. He can manage with long-distance confrontation for now, but if he were to return, he’s afraid he’d be torn to pieces by the furious Dragon Clan.
Seeing Manina’s cunning defense, Dragon Emperor Kadrigos and the five Dragon Kings were filled with anger.
Manina said he had nothing to do with this. Who would believe him?
How could dozens of giant dragon corpses be transported into the Imperial City, stuffed into a mountain belly only a few kilometers away from the Royal Palace, and you tell us you don’t know anything about it? Do you think we’re fools?
However, the Dragon Emperor and the five Dragon Kings were also aware that now is not the time to confront the Raging Sun people.
It’s 5 and a half months till the decisive battle between the Skuru people and the Blue Star Humans.
If they confront them now, the Raging Sun people would have plenty of time to deal with them in these 5 and a half months.
Leaving everything else aside, just the fact that Manina the Third and Pu Langte leading more than 20 seventh-level powerhouses from the Raging Sun Empire, would be enough to trample Dragon Island flat, wipe them out completely. What’s more, there would be almost no loss on the Skuru people’s side.
The strategic depth of Dragon Island is too small. They cannot withstand such an attack.
Therefore, as Zhong Feng said, what the Dragon race needs most now is to swallow your anger, bury your hatred, and only break with the Skuru people after the start of the great war.
Inside the mountain belly, Dragon Emperor Kadrigos took a deep breath, suppressed the surging anger in his heart, and said coldly: “Manina, is this matter really unrelated to your royal family?”
“100% unrelated, I swear on my own character! I simply did not know anything about this, how could there be any connection?” Manina defended himself loudly in the video call:
“If you don’t believe me, you can search the ‘Lin Long’ research institute. I grant all dragon clans full access to the Royal Palace. Everyone can also search my residence.
If you find any solid evidence that the royal family connived with the ‘Lin Long’ research institute, I will commit suicide immediately!”
Manina’s tone was very sincere, and he was calm at heart.
Speaking of which, he had to thank the Blue Star Human who infiltrated the Royal Palace two days ago.
After that incident, the Royal Family realized that the archives of the Royal Palace were not safe.
To prevent that Blue Star Human from returning, in these two days, the Royal Family had moved all the top secret information to places outside the palace.
Now, when the Dragon Race goes to the Royal Palace, Manina is confident that they won’t find any reliable evidence and it will just be a waste of their time.
“Mind your words!” Like a sharp blade, the Black Dragon King flew vertically out from the mountain belly.
“Brothers, let’s go!” The Black Dragon King summoned the vast group of Black Dragon Clan, flying swiftly towards the direction of the Royal Palace.
The Black Dragon King was very clear that since Manina was so confident, they probably wouldn’t find any solid evidence in the Royal Palace.
He is not going to the Royal Palace to look for evidence, but to cause havoc!
The Giant Dragon Clan, being large and clumsy, it’s very normal for them to damage part of the palace buildings while looking for evidence, right?
The Black Dragon Clan, the dragon clan with the strongest physical destruction abilities, can mess up the royal palace!
The aggrieved Black Dragons flew towards the Royal Palace, while other Giant Dragons, led by their respective Dragon Kings, scattered in different directions to search for evidence (cause destruction) in different parts of the city.
The “Lin Long” Research Institute is the largest dragon research institute in the Raging Sun Empire. Since it’s the “largest”, there must be a “second largest” and “third largest”.
The Raging Sun’s “second largest” and “third largest” dragon research institutes just happen to be in Sun City, along with more than ten other smaller ones.
The Green Dragon King led the Green Dragon Tribe to completely destroy these dragon research institutes.
As for these small and large research institutes, the Dragon clan would kill all their researchers, destroy all their data, regardless of whether they were innocent or not.
Holding onto the principle of “better to kill wrongly than to let one off”, they implemented complete physical destruction.
The White Dragon Queen did not lead the White Dragon Tribe to cause havoc in the city.
She stayed with the Red Dragon Queen to comfort her friend, while also trying to control her emotions to prevent her from impulsively picking a fight with the Skuru people out of anger.
The White Dragon Queen didn’t move, but the White Dragons autonomously dispersed across the city looking for “evidence”.
Some went to the museums in the city, some went to the Warcraft Park, some used psychic powers to scan the city continuously….
Whenever they found a suspicious place, the dragon races wouldn’t hesitate to burst in and investigate.
All the giant dragons acted in striking unison – destroying to vent is the main goal, and finding evidence is secondary.
Everyone unanimously put most of their energy into venting and destroying.
Before long, the whole Sun City was turned upside down by the furious Dragon clans.
