Chapter 178 (2/2)

Rhodes was shocked at Sui Xiong’s teasing and immediately explained himself. But his explanation was drowned in Frost’s scream.

“I want to go too!” the voice of a young rock dragon screamed, as loud as a car honk. “Although my fighting skill might not be on par with Jose, I run fast! If necessary, I can also drill underground and fly. If I cooperate with him, regardless of assassination or escape, it will be much safer!”

Snowflake creased her eyebrows and hesitated before she nodded faintly.

“Be careful!” she said. “Safety first; you have to return alive to have a future!”

“I’ll prepare some poisonous mushroom bombs. At a crucial time, you can throw them out,” Acraian said. “But you must remember, you can only use it in desperate times. This thing is very dangerous, the killing radius is extremely huge. It would easily affect the innocent citizens.”

“Don’t head to the north. The Orcs on that side are more alert,” Satan said as he took out a map and pointed. “Head over to the middle region of Orc Empire, it is more peaceful there and the Orcs are less on guard. It would be easier to flee after causing some chaos. I have mastered the high transmission skill recently and I can give the both of you scrolls. After the fight, immediately return to the theme park via transmission skill. No matter how great they are, they won’t be able to catch you!”

“Hold on!” Sui Xiong looked at them in heated discussion, who seemed to have confirm the plan of sending a person and a dragon to the Orc Empire to kill the priest of the Orc God system church. He couldn’t help but shout, “All of you got it all wrong! I am talking about designing a holy kingdom! Why did it turn into war with Orc God system? And I, as a God, have yet to agree, when all of you seem to have decided on how to fight the war!”

“Your Majesty, coming across such matter, you must declare war!” Gerald shouted. “This is not only your problem, it is also our problem! As devout believers, how could we withstand other people’s’ intention to kill Your Majesty!”

“Not ‘intended;’ they already did!” Snowflake corrected him, “although I am not a believer, such a matter is so difficult to put up with! If I could swallow my pride for such matter, I do not deserve to consider myself a proud giant dragon!”

Sui Xiong looked lost; he couldn’t understand why would a normal fight developed into such a situation.

He sought for help by looking at Ray and Carisa, who were also attending the meeting through magic projection. For the past few years, the lady city owner—who still looked the same since she stopped aging at seventeen—nodded in agreement. “If it was me, I would think there is a need to take revenge. The situation in Garth city for the past few years has improved. If you need money, we could transfer some out… about 10,000 gold coins? Is that sufficient?”

Then, she turned and looked at Ray who was sitting next to her in real life.

All these years of dealing with government affairs in Garth city, Ray’s temperament was getting more and more stable; he even developed an invisible dignity. That moment, he looked as though he was wearing a crown, just like a king who was reliable and dependable, who would make all his officials devote themselves to him.

In Garth city and the nearby area, people addressed him as “The King of Seaside,” and the title was approved by everyone else. Hence, it was quite widely spread.

It was said that the King in Moon Kingdom heard the news and got angry. But even the King had no confidence to warn or lecture Ray for that.

There was even rumor that there was a bard who saw both of them and talked to them once, praising them, “The one sitting on the throne was dignified, but his dignity came from his crown and his knights; the other one, his dignity is his crown and his knights. If must be an evaluation between the two, the King that opened up a kingdom is of course more powerful than the King guarding the city.

Looking at Sui Xiong’s eyes, he nodded and said calmly, “Your Majesty, you rejected such a war due to being the embodiment of kindness. But, just like a King couldn’t start or end a war according to his liking, the same applies to Gods. You are our ruler, you have the rights to decide everything. The reason why we are angry, why we want to start a war, is because of that too.

“Please take a different viewpoint and think. How could a God self-sustain among various Gods? You, of course, could enhance your power through forming alliances with other Gods. But, I think, compared to allies, deterrents are even more important!”

“I think I am quite a deterrent…” Sui Xiong mumbled.

Ray smiled and said, “I do not deny that. Back then, that battle where you killed two Gods at a time already sent out a sufficient deterrent. But the deterrent belonged to you, not your church. As a God that built a church, your church requires the same level of deterrents. Otherwise, when your holy kingdom rises up to the sky, the believers in the human world will be hemmed in by various Gods’ churches that were fighting against you.”

“I’ll go and beat up those Gods!” Sui Xiong gave a death glare, and said ferociously.

“If the other party were to dominate by sheer force of numbers?” Ray smiled as he spoke. “Honestly speaking, this is a provocation, but also an opportunity. It’s an opportunity to show our flag of Void Mask church and gain fame! If we could use this opportunity appropriately and built our church’s prestige with the Orcs’ fresh blood, regardless of preaching or war, it would be more convenient.”

Sui Xiong was at loss for words and kept quiet for very long.

He looked over to every higher-up of the church and looked at these friends that were most loyal to him, and contributed the greatest. In the end, he let out a heavy sigh.

“If these are the so-called ‘game rules,’ then do according to your ideas.” He slowly disappeared in dejection. He got back to the deep and serene underground, and hid himself in the darkest corner to rest.

The rules in this world are so annoying!
