Emperor Kain roared in disbelief. The fact that these people emerged from the Deatheater's Forbidden Land meant invincibility to him. Countless strong warriors from the Four Battlefields had entered the Forbidden Land, only to end up as bones. Why could these individuals walk out unscathed?"Hmph." Dragg sneered dismissively. "Just because you can't do it doesn't mean our Four Battlefields warriors can't."Dragg then turned his attention to Xayne, nodding appreciatively. "You're quite impressive. At such a young age, you possess the strength of a Senior Divine Commander, and you haven't even been tempered by the Four Battlefields. What's your name?"Xayne's eyes sparkled. He admired Dragg, but his position as a commander meant he held an equal status. Thus, his admiration was fleeting.With no trace of hesitation or weakness, Xayne responded, "I am Xayne Xavier, the King of the North of Drakonia."Dragg's expression brightened. "Xayne, King of the North. Excellent. It's remarkab
The representatives from various countries, now in utter silence, nodded in agreement to Dragg's words. Dragg cast a final cold glance at the kneeling Emperor Kain and said, "Emperor Kain, today I will spare you. Go back and tell the people of Newcroa that Drakonia cannot be bullied. If they want to discuss world affairs with us, we are open to negotiations. But if they want to challenge Drakonia with their strength, we are ready to fight to the end."With that, Dragg paid no more attention to Emperor Kain and walked out of the canyon, boarding a military aircraft with Xayne and the others, leaving the Devil's Canyon.Once Dragg and his party had departed, Emperor Kain stood up from the ground, his face filled with rage and humiliation. He roared, "Damn Dragg. Damn Drakonia. I will not let this go."With that, everyone quickly left the Devil's Canyon.Once they reached Drakonia, Dragg and his group entered Drakonix and met the Emperor.In the Emperor's Pavillion, the Emperor, vi
"Hanwan? How is he back? Wasn't he dead?"Dragg's body suddenly radiated a chilling aura and anger upon hearing Hanwan's name.The Emperor shook his head, walked to the window, and said, "In recent years, Hanwan has been training a corps of 200,000 death warriors abroad. Many people are also secretly contacting him within the country. According to the intelligence we have now, Hanwan intends to overthrow the current regime of Drakonia to achieve his own ambitions and dominance."Currently, Drakonia is in a perilous situation. Various countries are starting to move, looking for an opportunity to launch a war of annihilation against us. A few days ago, the Combat Division received a confidential report that three Divine Commanders and five Eternals had appeared on the border, ready to strike at any moment."What worries us most is if those returning experts from the Four Battlefields get involved, Drakonia will face a brutal war."The atmosphere in the Emperor's Pavillion turned hea
The secret meeting lasted well into the night.Xayne returned to Folksworth the next morning. When Serena saw him, she was so overjoyed that she immediately threw herself into his arms and exclaimed, "Honey, I missed you so much."Xayne squeezed Serena's delicate face and smiled. "I missed you too."Without delay, Xayne swept Serena into a princess carry and headed straight for the bedroom upstairs. Serena was startled. She pounded his chest with her fists, shouting, "Hey, what are you doing? It's still daytime.""Just taking care of some couple matters. I think we can have another child," Xayne said with a grin and kicked the door shut with a bang.The next two hours were entirely theirs.When the time passed, Serena lay in Xayne's strong embrace, her face flushed, and quietly asked, "Honey, do you think we'll be together forever?"Xayne, leaning against the headboard, gently stroked Serena's smooth, white shoulders and replied, "Of course. In my heart, it's only you and Coco."
The urgent cries echoed through the building, causing the entire structure to shake."Supreme Commander? The King of the North? Why would he be here?""Yeah, did they come to the wrong place?""I have a relative who's a soldier in Northern Plains. He even wrote a will recently, saying something about the war breaking out."Amidst the commotion, Xayne emerged from the elevator, his expression serious."What's going on?" Xayne frowned, puzzled by the situation. He wondered why there was no communication but a personal visit instead."Supreme Commander, the situation in the Northern Plains is critical. Not only are the Newcroans involved, but other countries have also joined in. They know you're not currently in the military, so they're becoming very audacious, coordinating their forces to crush us."Red Rose is personally overseeing the battlefield but has fallen into the enemy's ambush. We've lost contact with her. She's now surrounded by enemy forces, waiting for our rescue. We
The sudden invasion by the Tri-Lion Empire was well-prepared. Initially, their troops launched a surprise attack on Red Rose's forces. Despite repelling the initial assault, Red Rose's troops were soon surrounded by other national forces that appeared on both flanks, effectively trapping them in the middle.Now, they found themselves encircled by the enemy, making a breakout extremely difficult. The enemy had set up defensive positions swiftly, making any advance costly. The Northern Plains forces had been in this situation for nearly three days. They were low on supplies because they had been deployed in a hurry, and the sudden snowfall had further complicated their situation. If they continued to delay, the enemy could win by simply surrounding them and waiting.Moreover, it was evident that the enemy intended to encircle and cut off any reinforcements.Logically speaking, the Northern Plains army guarding the border in Northern Plains would come out to rescue them at this time,
Red Rose's plan convinced everyone in the command center. Her strategic analysis earned her the admiration of the entire team. Her decision was reminiscent of Xayne's bold and unorthodox approach."You're right, taking risks is the only way to break through the danger.""I agree. It's better to take a chance than to wait for death.""Let's do it. Even if we die in battle, our compatriots will avenge us. We fight for our country's honor."The soldiers were excited, and their spirits were high. The thought of attacking the Tri-Lion Empire's defenses made their blood boil.Meanwhile, in the main camp of the 300,000-strong army of the Tri-Lion Empire, Arnold was leisurely dining in the mess hall while his soldiers relayed reports to him."Report, General. The Northern Plains forces have ceased all activity. Neither the forces at the Northern Plains defense line nor those encircled have shown any response."The adjutant beside him, visibly excited, said, "It seems they've given up re
"Don't worry," Xayne assured as his voice steady. "If they had the manpower to wipe out Red Rose, they would've done it already. Killing Red Rose would have shattered the reputation we've built for years, and they would have made a big show of it to boost their morale while crushing ours."But they didn't. That means they haven't acted instantly. And why haven't they? Because they don't want to risk their losses. They're trying to lure us out, to chip away at our strength bit by bit."The only way to counter this is to launch a full-scale assault and strike them. Make them respect our strength!"As he spoke, Xayne slammed his fist onto the table."Tomorrow, we set out. We trust Red Rose can hold the line. By noon, the enemy's morale will start to wane. That's when we strike and catch them off guard. If Red Rose can't hold, we'll annihilate the enemy and honor our fallen soldiers with their blood!"Upon seeing no movement from the Northern Plains army the next day, Arnold grew impa
Dean's wild provocations quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.At that moment, a striking young woman stepped forward, removing her sunglasses as she made her way through the throng.The woman was dressed in an elegant black gown, the hemline revealing a pair of flawless, slender legs that caught everyone's attention. Her expression, however, was haughty, as though she looked down on everyone around her.She was Deanana Lovorka, the heiress of the Lovorka family conglomerate. While not exactly a household name, she was considered a minor socialite in the upper circles of Drakonix."Manager Dean, it's been a while!" Deanana greeted casually.As someone who frequently traveled abroad for business, Deanana was a familiar face at the airport and she had crossed paths with Dean on several occasions.But she was not here for a casual chat with Dean. It was far from it.She had come specifically to see Xayne.This was, after all, the legendary King of the North. Just six months ago, he w
"Do you have any idea whose luggage this is?" Aava asked coldly with a sharp and commanding tone.She was on the verge of revealing her special credentials—something she rarely used unless absolutely necessary. Xayne had been her hero, someone she deeply admired. The ridicule from Miodrag moments earlier had already pushed her to the edge, and now even a low-level airport staffer dared to humiliate him."Of course, I knew. Xayne, the King of the North six months ago; now he's just a regular civilian," the staffer replied with icy indifference. The staffer smirked. "Miss, do you think Xayne is still the mighty King of the North? There's no war, the capital isn't under siege, and he's utterly useless now. Take my advice—someone young and beautiful like you should stay far away from trash like Xayne. Get closer to someone like Young Master Dongfang instead. It'll do wonders for your future!"Dean swaggered over, cigarette dangling from his mouth, hands clasped behind his back. His ex
Upon hearing those words, both Xayne and Aava paused in surprise, then frowned in unison.The VIP lounge was clearly still operating as usual. Inside, over twenty people were relaxing—some reading newspapers and sipping coffee. There was no sign of any "closure" or "disinfection."It was obvious that this so-called announcement was deliberately targeting Xayne and Aava."Manager Li, isn't this going a bit too far? That's Xayne—formerly the King of the North. He has special privileges to use the VIP lounge. If this gets reported to higher-ups, we could all be in trouble…," whispered one of the airport staff, cautiously approaching Dean."Higher-ups? Haven't you heard? Young Master Lyuben already gave the order—anyone who sides with Xayne will see their entire family wiped out." Dean sneered, exhaling a cloud of smoke as he lit a cigarette."And even if the higher-ups find out, what can they do?" Dean added mockingly. "I'll admit, six months ago, I wouldn't have dared cross Xayne. B
Miodrag's laughter quickly caught the attention of onlookers in the bustling terminal. But their gazes were fixed not on him but on Xayne.The "King of the North" was a name nearly everyone recognized, yet no one dared approach him. Lyuben's warning had spread far and wide: anyone who got close to Xayne would face annihilation."Miodrag! What gives you the right to mock Mr. Xayne? Just hours ago, he was fighting on the front lines for this country. And you? What have you done besides indulge yourself in luxury?" Aava snapped with a sharp and clear voice."Heh, I pay taxes, don't I? Doesn't spending money generate tax revenue? Without people like me keeping the economy alive, what would Xayne have eaten in the north? Dirt?" Miodrag smirked, his tone dripping with mockery. He sneered and continued, "If not for us rich kids throwing around millions in donations every day, Xayne wouldn't even have warm dirt to eat!""Damn it! The nerve of that guy!""What's so special about the East
"Is it true that Xayne captured the so-called 'Lord of Light' alive?" Lyuben remained calm as he was playing a grand piano in the lounge."Indeed! Word is, the Lord of Light's master, Master Emin, was present as well. However, Xander also made an appearance. My analysis suggests it was Xander who forced Master Emin to retreat, while Xayne crippled the Lord of Light." An older man lowered his head respectfully as he spoke, his voice tinged with urgency."Oh? Defeating the Lord of Light… he must have had a trick up his sleeve. Was it some kind of tactic or setup?" Lyuben asked without betraying a hint of emotion."It's said that Xayne specializes in traps and ambushes. Otherwise, Hiram and his crew wouldn't have met their end in that mansion. Master Dongfang, you mustn't underestimate him!""Hmm?!" Lyuben's eyes shot open suddenly, piercing beams of icy resolve radiating toward the older man.The man immediately lowered his head further, not daring to meet the gaze of the young lead
"Lowes, what are you panicking for?" Zoro's cold gaze locked onto Lowes.Even though Lowes was several generations younger than him, as the head of the Bullard family, he had the status to stand on equal footing with Zoro."I'm not panicking, I just don't want to see more white funeral banners hanging at the Bullard family estate. If Xayne comes back and chooses to settle the score, do you think any of us can handle it? You might not know this, but back when King Quidie rebelled, even Klink didn't dare lay a hand on him," Lowes replied, his voice strained but steady.He paused, taking a long, slow breath to calm himself. "Put it another way, if Xayne comes for us, even KB Kings Circle won't step in to save us. If that doesn't scare you, then I don't know what will!"The air in the room grew colder. Lowes glanced around at the faces of the other family heads, hoping to see reason in their eyes. But then came a sneer.Zoro let out a low, disdainful chuckle. "Even if Xayne didn't die
"Xayne!" Zoro clenched his fists so tightly. If anyone had a grudge against Xayne, the Eastin family's hatred was no less than that of the Bullard family. Not to mention, Flamey had been killed by Xayne not long ago. This blood feud had to be settled.The Big Four weren't some weak, defenseless prey that Xayne could toy with as he pleased. For decades, the Big Four had controlled the heart of the Drakonia's economy. Every senator, governor, and political figure had to show them respect. But since Iver's death, the Big Four had lost their glow. People who once bowed their heads were now looking down on them. The root of all this was because of Xayne.That's why, after Flamey's death, the Eastin family had no choice but to call upon their master, a man who had been living in seclusion for decades. Every bit of information regarding Xayne's trip to Egenda, his plans, his contacts, and even his flight schedule had been deliberately fed to Lord of Light.They made it clear that the momen
"In the end, his ambitions were never realized. When he attempted to merge all five Dragon's Hearts, he died. After his death, the Dragon's Hearts vanished without a trace. That's why the Light Order has always kept a close eye on Drakonia, especially on the methods Commander Zedd used to track down those Dragon's Hearts," Joe explained.Hearing this, Xayne was utterly stunned. He had never imagined that over a century ago, Commander Zedd had possessed five Dragon's Hearts. That would have been a time when Drakon Destiny was on the rise. However, because of the failed fusion, Commander Zedd lost not only his life but also Drakon Destiny's, which declined, leading to the humiliations and defeats that followed over the next century."So you're saying the Dragon's Hearts are tied to the fate of a nation?" Xayne asked, his shock evident."Absolutely. Based on our research, there's no doubt about it. The fate of Drakonia is linked to the Dragon's Hearts. Every time someone successfully f
In the VIP lounge of the airport, Xayne and Aava were waiting for their flight. Not long after, a tall, broad-shouldered young man strode in. He scanned the room briefly before his eyes locked onto Xayne and Aava. Without hesitation, he walked straight toward them. "Mr. Xayne, I'm sorry for the wait. I was sent here by Yves."The young man sized up Xayne, his eyes flashing with surprise when he saw that Xayne was completely unharmed. Word had spread about Xayne's clash with Lord of Light, a confrontation that even drew out a Radiant Commander figure, Emin. Yet here Xayne was, perfectly fine. It was hard not to be impressed.As Yves's right-hand man, Joe Zhird knew better than to underestimate someone like Xayne. His respect was evident in his tone and demeanor. With his status as the top lieutenant of Black Ice Platform, even the heads of prominent families would approach him with courtesy. But right now, it was Joe who was showing deference to Xayne, and this caught Aava by surprise
