Therefore, Bailuo didn’t initiate this war in the na of vengeance against Count Thorn. If that were the case, how could the People of Yatun remain as calm as they are now, even going so far as to jest and laugh?
The war for revenge, with its blood hatred, Bailuo would use it against the Emperor Candidate.
The Ancient City...
Truth be told, it wasn’t yet worthy of such careful consideration by the People of Yatun.
"Now, let see how much the children have grown in these past few months."
Bailuo sat on his throne, overlooking the Ancient City and the endless Blood Moon Dreamland. His will was strong enough to focus on every person, observing every corner.
[To Stand Tall and Daring to Look Down Upon the World]
Truth be told, Bailuo rather liked Hailbo’s assessnt of the People of Yatun.
"Stop."
In the courtyard, Hailbo was accompanied by Yilona, Ina, Silly Tiger, Ju Nono, and the Flai siblings.
"What is it?"
Ina asked, puzzled, while Yilona detected the subtext in her dear friend’s remark: "Have we encountered the enemy? Here?"
"Right ahead."
"Hmm?"
Yilona quickly looked ahead and indeed, there was a figure approaching from the garden of the Mordi family.
"It seems that this domain has completely separated us."
Dressed in a pitch-black gown, around the age of twenty-seven or twenty-eight, the woman held a glass of red wine in her right hand and her left hand was placed beneath her chest. She stood like a queen of darkness: "Are you the invaders who burst into the Ancient City? Although you look not so young, I can see that you must still be children, right?"
"Fourteen or fifteen? Thirteen or fourteen?"
"Sending a bunch of kids onto the battlefield," Black Rose spoke, "Isn’t your king being a bit too excessive?"
Experience exclusive tales on empire
Black Rose was one of the seven Heroic Level individuals of the Ancient City and also a professor at the Hundred Flowers Valley Military Academy. She was quite old, but not human; rather, she was a Miracle Descendant from the Brilliant Duchy.
Truth be told, if we were to speak solely of seniority, Tulip, i Xiang, Xia Yan, and even the three national pillars of spring, sumr, and autumn were not her equal.
After all, she was the second person saved by Count Thorn after General Winter.
"Big sister, you," Hailbo’s gaze turned colder by a degree, "Are you evaluating our master?"
"Hmph."
Black Rose swirled her wine glass and then downed its contents: "I have lived for five hundred years, seen dozens of Masters of Miracles, and to be honest, I really dislike sending children onto the battlefield."
"Go ho," Black Rose spoke, "The battlefield is not a place for children, at least, not for a few more years."
"..."
Black Rose’s words weren’t just filled with mockery; she truly felt pity for the ones present like Hailbo and others.
However, as soone heard Black Rose’s words, a surge of violent emotion suddenly rose in their heart.
"What do you know!"
Hailbo said nothing, but Ina suddenly spoke up.
At the sa ti, the girl raised her magic wand, and green light flashed, illuminating the dark courtyard and garden.
"Hmm?!"
Black Rose had initially wanted to resist but suddenly sensed sothing and imdiately dodged the green beam.
"Whirr~~"
The green light fell on the garden behind Black Rose, causing the entire garden to wither and age rapidly.
"Has the battle started?"
From above, Bailuo saw Ina making a move against Black Rose, but the green light made Bailuo sowhat surprised: "This move, a whole new energy? What is this thing? Why is it filled with such imnse negative emotion?"
Looking at Ina, her state seed sowhat odd, as if it were a Nightmare Monster whose will had been corroded.
"Ina has a high affinity for Lyon’s power, but now..."
Bailuo sowhat agreed with Black Rose’s words: "It seems, sending Ina and the others onto the battlefield is indeed too soon."
The Yatun Clan was different from Ina and the others; they matured early and received military training from a young age, and had also been involved in quite a lot of skirmishes, with far more experience than them: "After this battle, the age for enlistnt will have to be changed to at least 15 years old."
"You’re really rude, young girl."
In the garden, Black Rose was startled by Ina’s sudden movent: "Not even a word before you attack, didn’t I display any hostility, did I?"
"An instant-kill move?"
Black Rose’s brow furrowed, her tone carrying a hint of surprise: ’This green energy is filled with unimaginable negative emotions, such imnse killing intent!’
Jealousy, wrath, hatred, bloodlust, possessiveness, the desire to destroy...
Not just Black Rose, but even Ju Nono was shocked as she looked at Ina: "Ina, where did you learn this magic? Our teacher, it seems, has never..."
"What’s this about adults and children, are you saying we should be protected?"
Ina, as if she hadn’t heard Ju Nono’s words, glared at Black Rose, finding her comnts stupid and laughable.
Ina had lived for more than a decade, but from her earliest mory until she t Bailuo, she had never been protected.
Her parents detested her, and the fellow villagers found joy in bullying her.
And back then, she was just a child, only four or five years old!
Children deserve protection?
Nonsense!
In such a chaotic world, even children must learn to protect themselves.
Even after arriving in the Yatun Duchy, Ina feared that she couldn’t show her worth, and then would be miserably abandoned!
"I’m not qualified to be on the battlefield?"
Ina’s eyes were filled with killing intent: "Are you looking down on ?"
"Go to hell!"
The magic wand released a green glow once more, and this ti, its power and range were even greater than before.
How dare anyone look down on her?!
Going to the battlefield was her reason for existence, it was how she showed her value to Bailuo!
Only by killing more, becoming stronger, she could keep climbing higher, and finally reach Bailuo’s side, to earn his affection!
