Behind Leticia, black wings of shadow unfurled. Lamia likewise spread her wings of shadow, while Wang Xiaoming directly unleashed his dragon form, revealing his jet-black dragon wings.
The three of them took off together from the top platform of the Keystone Gate, heading south. They quickly flew to the edge of the ice field, which stretched a full fifteen kilometers south from Itogami Island. As they flew here, Wang Xiaoming could clearly see the row of black warships. Five warships were lined up horizontally in a single column, with a cluster of cannons pointing towards Itogami Island.
Good heavens, two triple-barreled 460mm main guns in the front and two triple-barreled 460mm main guns in the rear. Are you kidding me, playing Yamato here? Oh, no, it has one more turret than Yamato. Although it's an Eastern European country, the architecture of this battleship is ridiculously exaggerated. I don't believe it wasn't modeled after the Yamato.
Wang Xiaoming and the others landed on the edge of the ice field, watching the row of warships from a kilometer away. The visual advantage brought by the dragon transformation allowed Wang Xiaoming to clearly see the people on the battleship.
A group of * * * wearing black military uniforms were on the deck of the battleship. All of these people were vampires, but based on the epaulettes on their shoulders, one could see the difference in their status. And in front of them all was a man with short black hair, also wearing a black military uniform, except that the epaulettes on this man were the largest! Moreover, he was the only man with his hands behind his back, just like Wang Xiaoming, who had just landed. The two men maintained the same posture of having their hands behind their backs, and then looked at each other.
They could see each other and confirm each other's identity.
"First Progenitor, Oblivion King Qiyi Juranbarada."
"Fourth Progenitor, Ideal King Wang Xiaoming."
In the eyes of the First Progenitor, Wang Xiaoming was the real Fourth Progenitor, the real Ideal King. That twelfth body called Agulola was just a tool to control familiars.
"Your Majesty, let us take them down for you."
After confirming the other party's identity, several vampires immediately stepped forward beside the First Progenitor, knelt on one knee, and made a request to the First Progenitor.
Facing the request of his subordinates, the First Progenitor smiled and looked at them.
"Oh? Are you confident in taking them down? That is an enemy that even Vattler could not defeat."
"We know Lord Vattler's strength best. His defeat must have been caused by a sneak attack. It is enough for us to deal with such a sneak attacker. Only the Fourth Progenitor is worthy of your Majesty's attention. We will eliminate all the remaining people for your Majesty."
All those who made the request were former subordinates of Vattler. After the Blaze Feast, they left Itogami Island under the orders of the Third Progenitor, bringing news of Vattler's death back to the War King's Domain. And now, having returned, they have decided to avenge Vattler!
"Is that so? Since you have made such a decision, then go ahead."
The First Progenitor stood at the forefront, looking at Wang Xiaoming on the ice field in the distance, wanting to see what his subordinates could do.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After receiving the War King's permission, these subordinates immediately raised their heads happily.
There were two of them, Gilla Lebedev Valdizlava and Tobias Gakan, both beautiful young men from vampire nobles in the War King's Domain, subordinate nobles belonging to Vattler.
Of course, they were not only Vattler's subordinate nobles, but also Vattler's admirers. That's right, Vattler was a homosexual. Vattler destroyed several countries, and the kings of those countries, in order to save their lives, even sent their daughters to him. Vattler kept at least five princesses in his home, but Vattler didn't even look at these five princesses. In his eyes, there were only beautiful young men he loved or those who were powerful.
These two beautiful young vampire men were Vattler's loyal subordinates and lovers!
Now that Vattler, whom they admired, was dead, since they had returned, they would naturally avenge Vattler!
After receiving the War King's permission, the two left directly, ordering the soldiers next to them to prepare a small boat for them, after all, it was impossible to let the battleship rush over.
The soldiers drove the small boat to send them to the ice field, and Wang Xiaoming on the ice field also witnessed these two people coming by boat. Along the way, Wang Xiaoming had no intention of stopping them, just watching them get off the boat that docked.
"Wang Xiaoming! Your doomsday has arrived!"
As soon as they came down, these two people started shouting loudly.
Okay, Wang Xiaoming didn't know them, but he could probably understand that these were two fools who came to deliver food.
"Leticia, capture them, don't kill them, they will be useful later. Capture the driver as well, keep them all for later use."
"Yes, Master."
Leticia nodded slightly, and then immediately released the Dragon's Remains. These two vampires, who had just landed and only said one sentence, were directly cut off one hand by the Dragon's Remains, and the driver of the small boat was also the same, directly cut off one hand, and then pulled out by the Dragon's Remains and pressed on the ice field.
The two vampires, who had vowed to come and eliminate Wang Xiaoming, were directly taken down like this. The whole process was very short.
This process was also seen by the War King on the battleship. He looked at Leticia's Dragon's Remains with great curiosity. The attack process didn't seem to be caused by familiars, but Leticia was indeed a vampire, could it be some kind of magic?
No matter what the other party's magic was, at least now it could be confirmed that ordinary nobles were not the opponent of the other party's maid. Since they were not the opponent of the other party's maid, then there was no need to waste time, just go up yourself.
"Jana, come here."
"Yes!"
Along with the War King's order, a red-haired beauty in military uniform walked to the War King's side.
"Come with me, and while I'm playing with that Ideal King, eliminate those two maids."
"Yes!"
The girl nodded immediately, not feeling at all that she would lose to Leticia.
The War King slowly raised his right hand behind his back, and the turret next to him immediately lowered its gun barrel, aiming the gun barrel originally aimed at Itogami Island at the ice field a kilometer away.
The raised right hand was lowered, and the triple-barreled 460mm main gun immediately fired.
A salvo of three shells, three shells flew out in a roar, smashing towards Wang Xiaoming's location.
And at the moment the shells flew out, the War King and the red-haired beauty next to him both disappeared directly from the spot, appearing on the flying shells.
On these rapidly rotating shells, a layer of black film on the soles of their feet allowed them to ignore the rapid rotation of the shells under their feet, maintaining the posture of standing on the shells, riding the shells and flying out, and then directly smashing into the ice field in the distance.
Boom boom boom—
Three shells smashed into the ice field, directly blasting three large pits in the ice field.
And in front of the big pit, the War King and his red-haired beauty landed gracefully, the War King even maintained the posture of having his hands behind his back, as for the red-haired beauty, she landed in a kneeling position on one knee. The two people appeared in front of Wang Xiaoming in a master-servant posture one after the other.
Wang Xiaoming looked at the two people who flew over on the shells, and twitched the corner of his mouth speechlessly. Riding over on the shells, do you think you are Kizaru?
"Nice to meet you, Fourth Progenitor, or rather, Ideal King."
The War King who landed looked at Wang Xiaoming, smiling and greeting.
"Yes, nice to meet you, First Progenitor, Oblivion King."
Wang Xiaoming responded while pointing to the driver who drove the small boat.
"Leticia, eliminate him."
Crack—
The Dragon's Remains directly executed the soldier, and the soldier's body was also thrown into the sea.
"Executing my soldier in front of me doesn't seem good."
The War King looked at Leticia executing the soldier indifferently, his voice beginning to turn cold.
"No, I don't think there's anything wrong with that. After all, I've left two for you over here, haven't I?"
Wang Xiaoming waved to the two subordinate nobles, and Leticia immediately controlled the Dragon's Remains to throw the two subordinate nobles in front of the War King. In this way, there were four of them in total.
"Then shouldn't I thank you for showing mercy?"
“If you want to thank me, that's perfectly fine. After all, I'm still thinking about joining you guys.”
Wang Xiaoming extended his right hand towards the War King.
“So, First Progenitor, can I join you and take you to Itogami Island?”
“Of course!”
The First Progenitor smiled and nodded, agreeing to Wang Xiaoming's request.
When facing enemies within the organization numbering four, you can make a request to the other party, and they will unconditionally trust you, allowing you to join their organization.
[Fifth Heavenly King] activated!
431. War King's territory is the most intimate partner of the Ideal Country!
“This time, the situation is different from what the outside world is saying. It's all a misunderstanding. I have great faith in the Fourth Progenitor. My visit to Itogami Island this time is not because of the war that the outside world believes, but to welcome the Fourth Progenitor into our Progenitor family. At the same time, it is also for the War King's territory and the Ideal Country to achieve a deeper cooperative relationship.”
The First Progenitor, Oblivion War King, brought his vampire subordinates, arriving at Itogami Island with a menacing aura, and then successfully joined Wang Xiaoming's camp within seconds of landing.
At the press conference on Itogami Island, the First Progenitor, Oblivion War King, Qi Yi Julanbalada, stood on the podium. To his left rear, his loyal guard, Zhanna Rashuka, stood with her hands behind her back in military uniform. To his right rear were the two lower nobles who once belonged to Vattler, Jira Lebedev Valdizlava and Tobias Gakan.
The four of them could completely represent the First Empire in saying the above words. After all, the First Progenitor himself had directly entered the scene. Who could be more representative than him?
At the press conference, the Oblivion War King spoke eloquently, with a smile on his face, appearing very approachable, making even his subordinates behind him look much more comfortable.
Oh no, that's not right. One of his subordinates is a beautiful woman, and the other two are handsome young men. They already looked pretty good to begin with.
However, the words spoken by the War King astonished the reporters below. The cameras clicked incessantly, and the video cameras were eager to get as close to the War King's face as possible.
The scene was incredibly lively!
After all, the war between the First Progenitor and the Fourth Progenitor, which the whole world was paying attention to, turned out not to be a war at all. This was truly amazing.
These reporters risked their lives to come to Itogami Island, hoping to get a big scoop, such as becoming war correspondents. They even wrote their wills before coming, but in the end, they only fired a shot from a distance, and then there was no movement.
Oh no, it's not that there was no movement. Not only did they not fight, but they even cooperated. The First Progenitor directly announced in public that he, the First Progenitor, acknowledged the identity of the Fourth Progenitor and was willing to let the War King's territory cooperate with the Ideal Country.
This was also a super big scoop.
You must know that the First Progenitor's words meant that the Fourth Empire had directly gained a foothold in this world! The fourth Night Empire in this world was officially established!
At the press conference, a clamor erupted as the First Progenitor spoke.
In the backstage of the press conference, there were also people constantly widening their eyes.
“What did you do to him?”
Nangong Nayue stared at Wang Xiaoming with wide eyes. As a witch, her intuition told her that the First Progenitor's state was not right. The way he was talking and acting like brothers with Wang Xiaoming was not like the First Progenitor at all. Although Nangong Nayue was seeing the First Progenitor for the first time, she was sure of one thing: this was definitely not how the First Progenitor should be! His personality could never be like this.
“I didn't do anything to him. I just told him to come to Itogami Island with me.”
Wang Xiaoming sat on the sofa, spread his hands, and didn't care.
“Do you think I'll believe that?”
Nangong Nayue curled her lips, then continued to look at the War King who was speaking, unable to stop herself from thinking.
The way he was talking with a smile and saying that he believed in Wang Xiaoming was like…
Like the Third Progenitor who stood not far from her during the Flame Feast! Yes, just like that Third Progenitor!
Understood!
Nangong Nayue felt like she understood everything at once!
“You wouldn't actually have a good relationship with all three Progenitors, would you? You actually knew each other a long time ago. Before you died, you actually had a good relationship with them, so now that you've been resurrected, they trust you so much.”
“Um, Nayue, actually…”
“Don't deny it!”
Wang Xiaoming wanted to say no, but Nangong Nayue didn't give him a chance to speak. She asked Wang Xiaoming the same question last time, but Wang Xiaoming said no, but Nangong Nayue didn't believe it at all.
“I roughly know what you want to say. It's probably something like you have nothing to do with him, right.”
“…”
What can I say? You've already said it for me.
“I've even thought of the reason why you would say that, because you are Wang Xiaoming now, not Cain, right.”
Nangong Nayue crossed her arms, looking like she had seen through him.
“Although I don't know why you changed your name, but you changed your name to cut off the past. The you in the past must have done something that the current you doesn't want to face, so the you who can't face the dark history chose to change your name and reappear in this world with a new identity. In this way, you cut off the connection with the past from your heart.”
“However, your past relationships still exist. The Fourth Progenitor recognized you the first time he saw you. The Third Progenitor said without hesitation at the Flame Feast that he believed in you, and now the First Progenitor is the same. The Second Progenitor probably won't be any different. It seems that the true history of this world is very different from what I know. There are many hidden secrets that I don't know.”
Nangong Nayue looked like she had discovered the truth, talking to herself and indulging in speculation, unable to extricate herself, which made Wang Xiaoming and his maids behind him look confused.
Agulola didn't understand what Nangong Nayue was talking about at all, while Leticia and the others felt that Nangong Nayue was really strong. Wang Xiaoming didn't even say anything or give any guidance, but she could actually imagine so much plot.
They were clearly from other worlds, but Nangong Nayue didn't know that. Under the circumstances of not knowing, it didn't seem like there was a big problem to have such a misunderstanding.
“Master, what do you plan to do with this First Progenitor?”
Leticia ignored Nangong Nayue next to her, who was indulging in guessing riddles and unable to extricate herself, and asked Wang Xiaoming in a low voice.
“The First Progenitor essentially obeys Cain's orders, which is meaningless to me, but I can let him help me a lot, so there's no need to kill him. Moreover, in this world, the existence of Progenitors is, in a sense, a kind of restraint. If there were no First Progenitor, the humans in this world would definitely kill each other even more fiercely than they do now.”
“Then, Master, do you plan to control him all the time?”
“You saw that?”
Wang Xiaoming looked at Leticia with a smile, and received Leticia's habitual eye roll.
“If I couldn't even see this, how could I be Master's head maid? I already saw it last time during the Agulola incident. Those people's performance was too strange, like they had suddenly become a different person. It was obvious that Master controlled them.”
“Hahaha, that's right, my Leticia is not only cute, but also a clever little head maid. They were indeed controlled by me. It's one of my special abilities, which can only be achieved under certain circumstances. As for what these certain circumstances are, you'll have to guess for yourself.”
At the same time, on television, the First Progenitor was giving his final speech with a smile.
“From now on, the War King's territory will be the best partner of the Ideal Country!”
He officially announced that the First Progenitor and the Fourth Progenitor had become extremely close partners.
