Chapter 783 The Power of Names
In the name of the Full Moon King.
He ordered every city lord in the land of the full moon to send troops to accompany him to attack Ztic, to uphold justice for the former king of Ztic, and to spread the glory and prestige of the full moon across the land again.
Let those who blaspheme and pretend to be the Black Iron Dragon King turn into mud under the trampling of their army.
Of course, a large number of people opposed it and were unwilling to send troops.
However, driven by the four laws and the influence of the Full Moon Dynasty has not been completely lost, many people are on the side of the Full Moon King.
One by one, the city lords arrived with their armies, and a large number of warriors and demon hunters joined the king's army. The Dragon Palace also sent a dragon professional to accompany him on the expedition, which seemed huge for a while.
In the palace.
The Full Moon King looked at the list of applicants and was filled with joy at first.
But then, the expression slowly changed.
He raised the list and asked, "Is there only this many?"
The minister below: "It's all up there."
Only a small half of the city lords expressed their willingness to send troops, which made him furious. Even though he knew that the influence of himself and the Full Moon Dynasty was no longer what it used to be, this was still far beyond his expectations.
Most of the city lords who did not come are from the western region of the Full Moon Land. Most of them are old people from the Dragon King era, descendants of ancient heroes who followed the black iron, bronze, and silver dragon kings to expand territories and conquer weird lands.
These people have always been arrogant and have a high opinion of themselves, which the Full Moon King had anticipated.
What the King of Full Moon didn't expect was that even some of the city lords in the eastern region of Full Moon didn't come over.
This is the place where the Full Moon Dynasty started. It can be said that the full moon kings of all generations have exhausted their efforts to achieve such a level of prosperity in the eastern part of the Full Moon Land.
In a rage, he wrote to these city lords who did not come.
"Your ancestors once swore to my ancestors to be loyal to the Full Moon King forever from generation to generation."
"And now, has this oath been forgotten?"
His words were not harsh, and could even be said to be somewhat sincere.
It seems that they hope these people will change their minds.
But then, he immediately gathered the troops who had been summoned and attacked the most unyielding and powerful city lord in the east with a thunderous strike.
When the city lord's city was breached, he killed everyone in the city lord's family and fed the corpses to Weird. This can be said to be the most severe punishment.
This scene indeed shocked many people and frightened everyone.
One after another, the city lords who had made no movement at first led their elites to come one after another.
They came to the Full Moon King and shouted loudly.
"Your Majesty, we are late!"
"After hearing your order, we started to make preparations, recruiting the most elite warriors and demon hunters under our command, and using the most powerful sealed artifacts, so we came here at this time."
"Please forgive us for being a little late and not joining you in the crusade against the disobedient person."
They all said that they were late because of something that had delayed their trip, and they asked the King of the Full Moon for forgiveness.
And finally.
The Full Moon King only scolded them and let them go.
What he wants is not their true loyalty, but their surrender and kneeling before him, with fear and awe on their faces.
However, only the city lords from the eastern region came. Most of the city lords from the western region of Full Moon remained unmoved.
Allied forces from all over the country gathered on the plains and held an expedition ceremony.
Then it was announced that the war against Ztic had officially begun.
Tens of thousands of troops set off.
dusty.
Under the raised flag, the King of the Full Moon rode an earth dragon beast, wearing golden armor and looking at the western region with sharp eyes.
The King of the Full Moon held the beast-control holster in his hand, determined in his heart that he must solve the western problem that had not been completely solved for generations.
"When I come back, I will lead the victorious army to completely conquer these disobedient people one by one."
After being divided into groups that were barely reorganized, the troops that went out were all divided into units of 10,000 people.
Only a small half of them are actual combat soldiers, and the rest are baggage troops and logistics personnel, but these personnel can also fight.
These armies came from different cities, and were mixed together with varying strengths and weaknesses, and the management system seemed chaotic; the personnel also obeyed different masters, and one of them with the highest prestige was only temporarily appointed as the commander of the army.
Some troops are brave and good at fighting, while others can only be said to be barely making up the numbers.
Each legion enshrines a bronze statue of the Bronze Dragon King, which is carried with it at all times, and the army moves around it as the center.
That's right, in this world, even when sending troops to fight, they have to carry a bronze Dragon King statue on their backs.
For marching and fighting, encountering enemies on the road is not a terrible thing, but encountering strange things on the road is the most terrifying situation.
Especially when large armies are gathered together, it is easier to attract hordes of strange attacks. If one is not careful, the whole army may be annihilated.
——
News of the Full Moon Dynasty's war mobilization, of course, immediately spread to the east coast further east.
Especially Ztic, a country on the east coast that bore the brunt, was the first to be alarmed.
Blacksmith's official city.
When the princes and ministers of Ztic learned the news that Ztic had declared war on them, they were all frightened and came to the palace to pay homage to their king.
Fei Komodo has not returned yet, and they don't know what to do next, but the enemy is so powerful, coming from the land of the full moon where the dragon civilization emerged.
At first.
They came to the land on the east coast just to escape the war in the Land of the Full Moon.
Although more than a hundred years have passed, they are no longer what they used to be, but the fear and longing for the land of the full moon still remain in their hearts.
Even after several generations, the shadow of the terrible dragon war and the demon hunter war has not completely dissipated.
"The King of the Full Moon has issued five decrees. Now dozens of cities have dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops, and they are about to attack us."
"I heard that the major dragon palaces have also dispatched, but I don't know how many dragons there are."
"Oh my god, how many more, one is enough to be scary."
"How can there be an army of hundreds of thousands? A hundred thousand would be good."
"One hundred thousand can easily crush us into pieces, so what can we do to resist?"
"We have to find a way."
"What can be done?"
The current King Ztic was sitting on the throne, looking at the panicked nobles and ministers.
Although his ancestor Feikomodo had told him before his reincarnation to prepare for the worst, the situation was still more serious than he imagined.
Unlike the previous Ztic kings, he truly got rid of the shackles of Feikomodo and took control of the power. Before Fekomodo entered reincarnation, he handed over all the power of the demon hunters and even the true name of the sealed object. Got him.
This alone allowed him to truly hold the core power of Ztic.
It seems that the betrayal of the former Ztic King did make Fecomodo make some changes.
But this is also equal to.
At this moment, he has to face the issue of the country's survival as a true king.
The people below had been arguing, and in fact they were also vaguely looking at King Zhtic's expression, but he never spoke or responded.
He was thinking about a question.
"What is the purpose of the Full Moon King launching this war?"
“Conquer the East Coast?”
"Seize the sealed book?"
"Robbing gold and silver treasures?"
He didn't understand.
The existence of the Sealed Book has been announced, Fekomodo has entered reincarnation, and the news of the arrival of the Black King Helfas is also known to everyone.
If the opponent doesn't look for the Black King Helfas at this time, what does it mean to attack Ztic?
The other party's behavior is as illogical as fishing for the moon out of water.
Of course, it seems difficult to find Helfas in the huge crowd.
And it seems even more impossible to obtain the Sealed Book before Helfas, the true master.
Everyone now thinks Helfas knows the location of the book.
He even believed that this book was originally left by the Black King Helfas, and it would be easy for him to get it again.
No one expected that the Black King Helfas did not know the location of the book at all, or even the real name of the book.
Everyone thought that the Black King might have found the book at this moment and was regaining his former power.
As the rumors say, wait until he regains all his power.
He will return to the position of Dragon King.
"Why?"
"Why fight Ztic? What does he want from Ztic?"
He didn't expect that.
It is precisely because of the rumors circulating among the people that everyone thinks that the Black King may have obtained the sealed book and is regaining his former power.
Therefore, the Full Moon King was forced to another extreme.
The King of the Full Moon, who considered himself the King of Kings and the God of the Earth, believed that it was impossible to get the sealed book before the Black King, so out of fear and instigation, he made a move that seemed almost crazy to ordinary people. decision.
Through this war, he will gather the most powerful troops and forces on the ground to defeat Ztic in one battle.
World War II engulfed the east coast, sweeping everything with boundless power and kingly aura.
at last.
Challenge that.
Helfas, the god-man who returned from heaven and the first king of the dragon people.
The current King Ztic knows limited information, which is nothing more than some information about the war launched by the Full Moon King. He will not be able to figure out the key to it for a while.
He could only bring his thoughts back to the palace and look at the noble ministers who kept looking at him during the quarrel.
He could see the fear of these people, and many of them even thought about surrendering and defecting before the fighting started.
He asked: "How was the discussion? Did you have any results?"
He seemed to be very open-minded and asked everyone, leaving the decision to everyone's vote.
The ministers looked left and right, and after a while someone came forward and said.
"We believe that the army of the Full Moon King is invincible. With our strength and army, how can we withstand their conquest?"
"Whatever the Full Moon King wants, we will give it to him. There is no need to go to war with them!"
"Your Majesty, that is the King of the Full Moon, the King of Kings!"
"Front confrontation is never a wise move."
The king looked at the speakers and nodded.
"But how can we convince the Full Moon King of our sincerity?"
He called several people with the strongest opinions to the front and asked them what to do next and how to let the Full Moon King know their sincerity until they surrendered.
These people happily stepped forward to the steps in front of the throne. However, as soon as they raised their heads, they saw sharp knives and spears stabbing them from high places.
The current King Ztic just glanced at the guards beside him, and the other party killed them all.
The heads of these people were cut off and thrown to the ground.
Headless corpses and ferocious heads were stacked on top of each other, and blood flowed between the cracks in the palace's bricks.
This cruel scene made many people present so scared that they collapsed to the ground and screamed.
The current King Ztic came down from the heights, holding a sharp blade and looking in all directions.
Wherever he passed, the crowd gave way.
Then they all knelt on the ground.
chanted.
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty!"
"His Majesty……"
Seeing everyone kneeling on the ground, the current King Ztic stopped and stood in the middle of the hall.
"At this point, do you think this is just an ordinary war?"
"This is not a war between us and the Land of the Full Moon, this is a war of faith."
The current King Ztic showed unprecedented determination and ruthlessness in an instant, showing a completely different attitude from before.
"The false king who stole the Land of the Full Moon and claimed to be the King of Kings has continued for the sixth generation and has come to an end."
"The Black Iron Dragon King has returned. He is about to regain his former strength and regain his position as Dragon King."
"The King of the Full Moon tried to resist the return of the Dragon King, and he has gone completely crazy."
King Ztic looked at everyone and asked loudly.
"Are you going to be as crazy as him?"
"To surrender to him at this time, to surrender to him, is to betray the Black Iron Dragon King."
"Betrayal of all dragon kings."
"When the Dragon King, the true master of this land, returns, what qualifications do you have to kneel in front of him."
His words immediately raised this war from the level of an ordinary war to an unprecedented level.
This seems to be no longer a war between people and countries, but a war between the Dragon King and the Human King.
This is not a challenge that the King of the Full Moon is challenging to Ztic and the East Coast, but a challenge to the legendary most ancient dragon king and the incarnate god.
As he spoke, the current King Ztic suddenly understood something.
He showed an expression of sudden realization.
"Don't you understand yet?"
"The Full Moon King's target is not us, he is challenging the Dragon King."
"He is declaring war on the God above."
Some people present are different from ordinary people. They still know some secrets. For example, there are rumors that the Black Iron Dragon King is not a dragon, but a god-man who came to the world from the kingdom of gods. There are also some rumors left in their families. record.
Many of these records are extreme admirers of the Black King Helfas. In their words, they even directly regard the Black King as the god who came to the world to save the dragon people.
Everyone's expressions suddenly changed. This seemed to be a side they had never thought of before.
Yes, if they surrender to the Full Moon King at this time, what will happen to them if the Black Iron Dragon King really returns by then.
Of course a Ztic King could not suppress them, even now in this palace, they were trembling with the sword.
But after returning, they were able to let the king understand the heritage of the great nobility passed down from generation to generation.
But at this moment, King Ztic added the title of Black Iron Dragon King to this war, and the weight was completely different.
It seems that this name can be worth hundreds of thousands of troops.
They also began to reconsider the special nature of this war, the future ownership of this land, and where they and their family should go in this chaos and dispute.
The current King Ztic also saw this change and noticed the twinkling changes in their eyes.
He immediately struck while the iron was hot and continued.
"Have you forgotten whose descendants you are?"
"We are the descendants of the Golden Tribe, and we are the descendants of the blacksmith officer under the throne of the Black Iron Dragon."
"We are born with the mark of the Black Iron Dragon King."
"Why did our ancestors come here from the land of the full moon in the first place? Isn't it because they were dissatisfied with the King of the Full Moon and to wait here for the return of the Black Iron Dragon King?"
"This is our pride, our glory."
"Now that the Black Iron Dragon King has returned, are you going to give up the glory and perseverance that your family has inherited from generation to generation?"
The angry rebuke made many people present look ashamed.
After putting pressure on these noble ministers from both the past and the future levels.
King Ztik then brought up the current situation and told them what it would be like to allow the King of the Full Moon to enter Ztik.
"With an army of one hundred thousand, I think you can understand what your territory will look like just by walking around from Ztic."
"With so many people going out, it's impossible for them to go back without grabbing enough gold and silver. Not even the King of the Full Moon can restrain them."
"He doesn't have this prestige yet, unless his ancestors come again."
"At that time, the towns you have built over generations will be reduced to ruins, your farmland, sealed objects, and bronze dragon statues will all become the property of others, and the wealth you have accumulated will be lost to the rebels."
"Your ancestors have all experienced the battle between dragons, so you should be able to imagine such a scene."
One sentence immediately eliminated these people's retreat.
At this time, a big noble finally spoke up and said, "But how should we deal with the army of the Full Moon King now?"
The current King of Ztic: "The King of the Full Moon has come with an army of hundreds of thousands, and he is definitely not doing it for us, Ztic."
"They are coming for the entire east coast, because even if they rob all the Ztic, they will not be able to satisfy the appetite of the huge sergeant."
Now the first decision King Ztic made was that they alone would never be able to fight against the army of the Full Moon King.
"At this time, the owners of the kingdoms and cities on the east coast should be equally afraid of the arrival of the Full Moon King's army."
"If we unite all of them and gather the power of the entire east coast together, we can at least have the power to fight against the army of the Full Moon King."
"And there should also be many people in the army in the Land of the Full Moon who want the Black Iron Dragon King and were deceived by the crazy king. They may not really want to join this war."
"We can..."
——
When the King of the Full Moon gathered his army, he was launching an attack and massacre against the rebellious people and the rebellious city in the eastern region.
Now King Ztic also convened a conference of the East Coast City-Kingdom Alliance. All the kings and city lords of independent cities on the east coast participated. There were many participants.
Some came because they were worried that the army from the Land of the Full Moon would enter the east coast and plunder. Some came because of the name of the Black Iron Dragon King, and seemed to firmly believe that this victory must belong to the Dragon King in the end.
Countries large and small come together and sit together.
At first glance, their power seems to be immense. Even if it is not as powerful as the Full Moon Land, at least it is not without the power to fight back.
At least so many kings and city lords sitting together gave them a strong sense of confidence.
Although the meeting was noisy, some people even got into fights.
But in the end everyone reached a consensus, and the countries and all the city owners and nobles joined forces to form a coalition to resist the invasion of the Full Moon Land army.
And when the meeting is over.
As the king of Ztic who presided over the East Coast City-Kingdom Alliance Conference, he emphasized it again to everyone.
"The Black King has returned, and he will take back everything that once belonged to him."
"We will join forces to defeat the Mad King of the Full Moon Land and destroy the Full Moon Dynasty that has come to an end."
"Welcome the return of the Black King."
"We welcome him back to the throne of the Dragon King and become the master of all dragon people."
He knelt on the ground and raised his hands in the air, cheering and shouting.
With a fanatical expression: "Helfas, the Black King."
He seemed to understand very well what the main force of these people gathered here was, and he also knew how to make good use of this force.
He didn't know if this was the Black King's wish, but he knew that this would protect his country.
As he shouted, everyone also shouted together.
"Black King Helfas!"
"Herfas!"
"Herfas..."
The sound like a roaring mountain and a tsunami spread outside the conference hall and even reached the streets.
In this fanatical cry, a power and fanaticism that penetrated people's hearts gradually spread.
Even if it might just be a performance at first, the more you shout it, the more it becomes real and unchangeable.
Whether they were kings, city lords, nobles, commoners or slaves, they all knelt on the ground one after another.
The entire blacksmith's official city was kneeling on the ground.
Chanting the same name.
It seems to not only echo in the streets of the city and the mountains of the earth, but even penetrate the clouds.
Under that name all the people and forces of the East Coast came together.
finally.
With the fear of the land of the full moon, but also the hope of the old glory.
The nations along the east coast formed an alliance.
