1511 Advancing in a Frenzy Part 2 (2/2)

There was no way Saleen would have only brought Rafel with him. She was only there as a show of status. There were at least 10000 ancient warriors right behind him.

Ancient warriors were level nine soldiers whose life force had been drained almost completely. Even if they were to survive the battlefield, Saleen could do nothing to save them.

Someone reported to Grand Duke Platinum after seeing 10,000 warriors flying through the air.

Saleen flew straight to the Grand Duke's residence from the air, wasting no time to wait for the Grand Duke to receive him. He landed right outside the war room.

The Grand Duke felt rather awkward. Lion City was his city, but Saleen was able to come and go as he pleased without anything getting in his way. But it was Saleen who had built the magic net, and over half of the defense forces were provided by Saleen. The Grand Duke eventually calmed after recalling those facts.

”Your Highness Saleen!” The Grand Duke received him enthusiastically, with none of the usual haughtiness and troublesome rites of the Cloudflow people.

”Well met, Grand Duke. Let's talk inside.” Saleen extended his hand, gesturing for them to go inside. The Grand Duke was rather frustrated as Saleen had been too natural. He acted as if the palace was his own, instead of the Grand Duke's residence.

The 10,000 ancient warriors landed outside of the residence, guarding the place. The external fringes, as expected, did not have a plaza capable of housing 10,000 ancient warriors, and as such, they packed the whole area.

Saleen walked into the war room and took his seat at the side of the guests, while the Grand Duke returned to his master seat. Saleen did not go to the hall of the war room, but chose a small meeting room to the side. That meant that he had no need for others in Lion City to be part of what he was about to do. He was simply there to talk to the Grand Duke.

”As you can see, duke, the advent of the divine kingdom changed everything on Myers Mainland. Cloudflow Empire would soon cease to be, and the history of the four empires shall come to an end completely. I shall move out to destroy the royal family of the Tanggulasi Empire and the Sikeqinya Empire within the month. As for the royal family of the Cloudflow Empire, the god creatures would get rid of them even if I were to do nothing.”

”What about the Qin Empire then?” The Grand Duke asked along the way, before finding that he had asked a rather dumb question.

”The Qin Empire won't be staying around for long either. I'm about to establish the Fifth Dynasty, and then, I'll select a suitable candidate to become the emperor.”

Saleen's words baffled the Grand Duke.

What Saleen said was totally unexpected. His strength had been such that, if he were out to unite the mainland, it would have been entirely possible. If it had not been for the divine kingdom's advent, Saleen would have definitely been able to unite the entire Myers Mainland within 100 years. Everyone knew just how useful the Floating City was after all.

Regardless of how robust a city's defense might have been, none would have been of any use to take on the Floating City.

Saleen said that the Qin Empire would not have been around for long, and the meaning of that was obvious. It was to say that the Grukos would be rendered little more than pages in history books soon.

Lex was Saleen's wife and everyone knew just how close those were. Their marriage was not a political alliance. When Lex married Saleen, she was but a viscount and Saleen was a king of a small nation. But, the interests of both parties had long been tied together, and there was hardly any trade to be had between the two.

What was even more shocking was that Saleen had intended to establish the Fifth Dynasty.

Furthermore, he also said that he would select a suitable candidate to become the emperor of the Fifth Dynasty. That was to say that despite his powers, he had no intentions of participating in the fight to rule the Fifth Dynasty, and Lex would not be part of the fight either.

”Duke, I know that there are four of you in Cloudflow, and all of you are very formidable. I'm sure your clan has more than what you could spare at the moment. Work on it and invest more, it'll be worth your while. The benefits that will be granted to your clan when the Fifth Dynasty gets established will depend entirely on the war with the divine kingdom.”

”Master Saleen, is this your will?”

”Indeed, and my mind is set. I won't be changing anything,” Saleen answered in a composed manner.

”Well then, Master Saleen, who do you think would be the suitable candidate to sit on the throne of the Fifth Dynasty?”

”Lex.”

Saleen's words almost choked the Grand duke. But Saleen quickly continued, ”if she were to become the empress, her reign would last only 100 years at most. I'd have her give up the throne after that, and my children would not become an emperor of this dynasty. The coming 100 years shall be the key period for determining who shall be the next emperor.”

Seeing that the Grand Duke looked dazed, Saleen smiled and continued, ”I take it that you have over 800 years of life, right?”

The Grand Duke realized that Lex would not have changed anything within the century she was in power. Saleen's idea was still to have her pull herself out of the competition. With that, the Grand Duke was probably the first to know of such a news, and that would be a huge advantage to him. Although Saleen was closer to Grand Duke Iron Blood, he believed that Saleen was not friends with Grand Duke Iron Blood.

Grand Duke Iron Blood's family background was too formidable. It was a clan that was related to the dragon plane after all.
