“Shua!”

I appeared in Dragonslayer Fortress and when I went online this place wasn’t ruined anymore. The rebuild was 80% done and the walls were made of white dali stone. Probably because the mountain range nearby was producing such stone. The wall was really shiny and it was also covered in a layer of white metal.

A bunch of undead warriors defended the wall and when they saw me, they knelt down on one knee and said, “Greetings The Executor!”

I was shocked, “Why did they call me that? Which army are you from?”

“We are from the second army of Dragonslayer Fortress. Although we are hybrid demons but Pearl said that we will forever recognise your identity. You can command any army.”

I smiled, “Where is Her Highness?”

“In the administrative hall, she is discussing things with Lady Frost.”

“Okay, bring me over.”

“Yes.”

Thus, something strange appeared. A level 8 hybrid demon led me to the hall and treated me respectfully. This was something I had never thought about. Moreover, his name was green which meant that the system recognised the friendly relationship between Dragonslayer Fortress and Tian Ling Empire. Moreover, the connection was me. If one day I wasn’t in the game, then the person maintaining the relationship should be Frost. She also had that ability.

Dragonslayer Fortress’s hall was built really majestically and it was similar to the administrative hall of Dragon City. Moreover, there were four Dragonriders and Barbarian Wolf Cavalrymen guarding. Many dragonriders were flying the sky. Seemed like Dragon City and Dragonslayer Fortress were very close to one another.

“Creak…”

I pushed open the door and a dragonrider smiled at me respectfully, “The Executor please enter.”

“En.”

I walked into the hall and both Butterfly and my sheath hung behind me. Frost, Zhi Shu and Pearl saw me. Especially Frost who held my hand excitedly and she smiled, “Long time no see, I thought that you would abandon us!”

I explained, “There is something to do in the other world, I can’t always be here with all of you. But don’t worry, I will remember to come back.”

“Come over to sit.” Pearl bowed to me, this seemed a little too polite.

I cupped my fists and then sat beside Frost and smiled, “How is Dragonslayer Fortress? If we work with Dragon City and Tian Ling City, we would be able to crush Sif right?”

Frost nodded, “Originally yes. In the battle three days ago, we wiped out 200 thousand Sif troops but we didn’t expect that Sif had the ability to open the hell crack after swallowing Azure’s strength. A giant path appeared in blood mountain range so she had endless amounts of troops. We had no choice but to switch to defence.”

“Do you need me to do anything?”

Pearl smiled, “Eh… This is quite tough. I thought that you were The Executor but Lochlan informed the world that the next Executor is Zhao Kai Guo so although we need your help but you aren’t able to say much.”

I slapped the chair, “Eh are you looking down on me? Although I am not The Executor, but I am the general of Royal Army. Isn’t 200 thousand of them a strong group too? Moreover, I am the only king of Tian Ling City, with my ability I can bring some resources.”

Frost covered her mouth and laughed. Zhi Shu stretched her arms and laid on her chair lazily. She looked at her own huge chest and who knew what she was thinking about.

Pearl smiled, “Since that is the case then let me be honest, I hope you don’t reject.”

“Speak.”

“Sif and I both have cold weapons. Although we are strong but our firepower can’t compare to the humans. This is a reason why the Hybrid Demons lost. Human weapons developed too quickly, far quicker than we expected. So to defeat Sif’s army, the only way is to have enough weapons!”

Pearl added, “Moreover, we need a large amount. Sif does have endless troops.”

Frost said, “Although Dragon City has many Dragon Crystal Cannons and Flame Dragon Cannons but it is not enough. Pearl hopes that you can get some God Dragon Cannons over, can you do that?”

“You need God Dragon Cannons?”

I thought about it, “This is tough. Tian Ling City lack God Dragon Cannons and many of them were destroyed when we attacked Iron Skull City. But I will try my best to get as many as I can. After all, defeating Sif is huge to us.”

Pearl nodded, “En en, this quest is yours to complete!”

Suddenly, a dragon rider walked in and cupped his fists, “Lady Frost, a Tian Ling City Royal Army War Hawk Knight wants to meet Sir Li!”

“Let him in!”

“Yes!”

Half a minute later, a Royal Army messenger walked in and knelt down on one knee, “General, His Majesty has a letter for you!”

“En.”

I opened it and it was clearly written by Lochlan and it was also in traditional chinese. The contents were asking me to head back and the handing over and Xiao Yao King ascension ceremony would take place in Tian Ling City. It would be at 8pm, the prime time of the game when most players were online.

“What is it?” Frost looked at me in concern.

“Nothing much, it is about The Executor and officially becoming king.”

“Just nice, you can take the chance to ask Lochlan about God Dragon Cannons.”

“En, I will head over, wait for my good news.”

Pearl stood up and bowed, “Then the little girl will wait here for the king’s good news.” 24062

I was speechless, Pearl was actually teasing me.

……

I crushed the city return scroll and after a flash, I appeared in Tian Ling City. I summoned Mei Er and flew towards the Palace. A few Guards Army troops knelt down, “General!”

The way they called me changed, how fast!

But the few guards got the news even earlier and they cupped their fists, “King!”

This title was so cool.

Very quickly, Situ Xin and Lin Qiong came over and after Lin Qiong got off his horse, he laughed, “Congratulations The Executor… Oh no, it is congratulations king, today His Majesty will make you king. You came at the perfect time!”

I smiled, “Don’t worry, I won’t forget you.”

“Haha.” Lin Qiong and Situ Xin both looked glad.

Situ Xin walked closely beside me and lowered his voice, “King, you will give up your role as The Executor so the entire empire’s troops will be in General Zhao’s hands. Although he has followed you in battle for many years but he is inexperienced. Would it be too quick? The empire is just formed and if you give up power… The army might waver.”

Lin Qiong said too, “I worry too, please reconsider.”

I laughed. These two were too loyal to me and I was touched, “Thank you for your concern but don’t forget that I am still general of Royal Army. It is still the top army of the empire, with me here who can rebel?”

Lin Qiong laughed, “That is true, I worried too much.”

……

Further ahead was the altar and a bunch of old forces came to congratulate me. Han Yuan, Xiao Lie, Jing Yin were among them. Apart from that, Tan Taiyu, Ouyang Di, Qu Hu etc generals all cupped their firsts. Further ahead, Lochlan came over, “Master Li, you are here!”

“En, thank you your majesty。”

“Come over here.”

“Okay.”

First was the handing over ceremony. Yan Zhao uncle returned to Changsha and took over right away. He stood there in delight.

I took out the seal and said, “Uncle, take it?”

“En!”

He nodded and actually knelt on one knee. He carefully took the seal. This was a glorious moment for him. He was old so how long could he remain on the virtual battlefield? Maybe he was here to complete a dream and now it was completed.

Actually, I was feeling really happy for him deep down.

After he took the seal, he walked to Lochlan and bowed. He then swore his loyalty. Lochlan officially gave him the title and Tian Ling City’s troops landed in the hands of this Prague Guild Leader.

……

“Master Li.”

After it ended, Lochlan walked forwards and helped me up the altar. He said to the Tian Ling City people and players, “I took over from Emperor Owen and things were in chaos and panic. Luckily I got Master Li to help. We wiped out Flaming Cloud City and then Moon City. We then took down Nine Heavens City, Iron Skull City and Swirling Abyss City. Tian Ling City’s flag flies high all over the continent and that is my honor. It is also Master Li’s hard work. Today, I will break the rules and make Master Li Xiaoyao King, he is above the three dukes!”

The people praised and I officially obtained the title.

King, was a ruler of an area too right?
