Chapter 94 Your Majesty, You Are Too Noisy

The palace, night.

The banquet hall was already a mess. After the banquet, the members of the Dragon Slaying Alliance had left one after another. The army was about to set off, and they had a lot of things to arrange.

Now, only Beskod and Xu Yue, as well as the drunken King, were left in the banquet hall.

On the rooftop, Beskod leaned on the railing and looked into the distance. Under the bright moon, the distant sky was covered by a gloomy and thick black cloud.

In the dark clouds, the blue lightning flashed endlessly. Although there was no thunder, the oppressive and terrifying atmosphere had been heard from afar, which was the direction of the Dark Valley.

"Xinhuo, how do you think this dragon slaying battle will end?"

Hearing Beskod's inquiry, Xu Yue, who was standing by, responded softly:

"Of course, the Black Dragon will be defeated, and Lord Beskod will return to the empire with glory and the jade."

Xu Yue did not mention the names of others, and Beskod did not react after hearing it.

"Oh, so confident?"

"The Black Dragon failed fifty years ago, and it will fail now, too. Moreover, we are the active party this time, and we will bring peace."

"Ha." With a chuckle, Bescode did not comment on Xu Yue's answer.

"The Black Dragon is not a fatal disease. Even if the Black Dragon is destroyed this time, the Altria continent will just return to the previous state of war."

"Humans, elves, mages, priests, our group of people are united by common fear, but it will not be long before they will fall apart because of their own interests."

"As long as there are differences, struggles, and too many voices, there will never be a moment of peace on this continent, just like today's farce. Before they set off, the Allied forces almost fought each other, huh, Alliance?"

When mentioning the farce in the banquet hall today, Bescode showed sarcasm on his face. The leaders of the major forces quarreled, and it was a young child who stopped the quarrel in the end.

How ridiculous! Although their coalition army is nominally led by the human king, no one really cared about the so-called king at the banquet just now.

Thinking of this, Bescode's eyes became even colder. He turned his head to look at Xu Yue who was listening silently, and said meaningfully.

"Peace cannot be brought by killing a black dragon. There are too many different voices on this continent, and the noise makes every force have to keep raising the volume and shouting at each other."

"So, the only way to have peace is to have only one voice on this continent, a voice that can overwhelm everything and make all forces shut up obediently. Do you understand?"

Bescode's eyes were deep, as if burning with blazing flames. After Xu Yue looked at his eyes for a moment, he lowered his eyes slightly and responded.

"I understand that after the Black Dragon War, the Black Dragon Jade will transmit a voice to every corner of the continent, and that is your voice."

"Heh." Bescode chuckled and did not answer. Instead, he turned his head to look in the direction of the banquet hall, where a fat red figure was stumbling over. It was our respected human king.

"Haha, Bescode, I want the jade. After killing the black dragon, you must bring it back to me. With the jade, I will become the master of the continent."

The human king Cassius III was holding a golden wine glass and walking towards Bescode with a flushed face. Under the influence of alcohol, he was already imagining that after he got the jade, he would sit on the throne and rule the entire continent in one fell swoop.

Bescode did not speak, but just stood on the somewhat dim rooftop, coldly looking at the human king approaching him from the brightly lit banquet hall.

At the junction of the cold moonlight and the bright candlelight, two figures slowly approached.

Beskod's eyes moved away from the king and turned to Xu Yue who was standing beside him. Although he didn't say anything, the cold murderous intent in his eyes was clearly revealed.

Xu Yue understood and took a few steps forward to support the king who was staggering towards him.

"Beskod, I'm talking to you again, do you hear me?"

The king didn't resist when he was supported by Xu Yue. He was indeed quite drunk now. He glanced at Xu Yue and found that it was the follower that Beskod had been bringing with him today, so he ignored him. However, he didn't hear Beskod's reply for a long time, so his tone began to gradually increase.

"Beskod. Do you hear..."

"Puff."

This time, the king's words were interrupted by a sharp pain in his heart before he finished shouting. He lowered his head and saw a silver palm pulled out from his heart, with the sharp claws at the front of the five fingers bleeding.

"You, you..."

Xu Yue held the king's limp body with his left hand, and wiped his bloody right palm on his exquisite clothes for a few times. After the blood was wiped off, he threw the dying king to the ground.

The fat body hit the luxurious carpet, making a muffled sound, and Xu Yue's cold declaration spread along with it.

"Your Majesty, you are too noisy."

[You killed the human king Cassius III. ]

[The target is the head of the human empire, and you get 9.4% of the source of the world. ]

[You get a treasure chest (blue)]

On the rooftop, Bescode looked at the murder scene in front of him expressionlessly, and only slowly approached when the king on the floor was completely silent.

"Lord Bescode."

Seeing Bescode approaching, Xu Yue stepped back half a step, and the coldness in his previous tone disappeared.

Beskod nodded, stared at Xu Yue's still calm eyes for a long time, and then raised his mouth slightly. The two of them tacitly did not mention the murder that happened before, even though the person lying on the ground now was the most powerful king of the human empire on the continent.

"Take it. I heard that you seem to be interested in this thing."

A scroll was thrown by Beskod, and Xu Yue reached out to take it. After seeing the item introduction, a flash of excitement flashed in his eyes.

Noticing the flash of excitement in Xu Yue's eyes, Beskod smiled, and then solemnly instructed:

"The large flying ship you asked for has also been arranged. Go to Cook when the troops are dispatched tomorrow morning. He will arrange it for you. You will follow the army to the front of the Dark Valley, but after the war begins, you don't have to fight the monsters, but be on standby at any time. Once you receive my signal, you will immediately rush to the back of the Dark Valley. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Lord Beskod."

"Well, go."

Xu Yue saluted and left, leaving only one person and one corpse in the banquet hall.

Beskod looked down at His Majesty the King, who was gradually becoming cold on the carpet, with a cold look in his eyes.

"A foolish and incompetent person cannot be the king of the continent. I will do this for you, Your Majesty."

"Can that fire really be controlled, Lord Bescode? I don't want our plan to be complicated."

Soon after Bescode's words fell, a charming voice sounded from behind. The dark elf walked out of the shadows with enchanting steps, stood beside Bescode, and looked down at the corpse under her feet. She had witnessed the whole process in the shadows before.

"He is a good knife and a backup. The imperial capital and the flying ship are all my people. If he betrays me, he will not be able to move forward on this continent."

"Besides, he is a smart man."

As he said, Bescode looked at the hideous hole in the heart of the human king.

"From the moment he killed the king with his own hands, he had no way out. If he is obedient, he will be the sharp blade for me to eliminate dissidents after I ascend the throne. If he is not obedient, he will be the best sacrifice when I ascend the throne."

After a moment of silence in the banquet hall, the soft voice of the dark elf sounded again.

"Sir, you are the only voice that can exist on the continent."

………

Outside the palace, Xu Yue looked up at the golden light coming out of the second-floor window, his face calm, his eyes moved to the scroll of "Arrow Manipulation" in his hand, and a hint of an ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his mind recalled the casual chat with a knight who led the way.

"Is this a warning or a reward? Sir Bethcode~"
