My Dragon System

Chapter 316 - Tell them Everything

Ray wasn't the only one that stood there confused in the room. The looks of the other people bore similar expressions.

"A new king?"

"Did they just say they wanted to create a new kingdom?"

"This is crazy, they are crazy!"

They chattered with their guards trying to make sense of what they had just heard. What they were most shocked about though, was the fact that Slyvia had declared the man standing next to her, as the King of the Redwings. Did this mean that Ray was the leader of the Redwings the others thought? Or maybe he was just a token to be put in the real leader's place.

They all felt that Ray looked too young, although no longer looking like a teenage boy, he still looked like a young a.d.u.l.t in his early twenties.

"This is impossible!" Peak shouted, "You can't just go around declaring and making kingdoms, that land that Avrion is on belongs to the Alure kingdom."

Peak then pointed directly at the Queen who was standing to the left of Slyvia.

"You think claiming independence will stop us from attacking the Alure kingdom. It's clear that you are helping them just by inviting them into this room."

"The land that Avrion is on never belonged to the Alure kingdom in the first place." Slyvia interrupted.

"What she says is true." The Queen said, "You can check our records if you wish, that land has always belonged to a mighty beast too powerful for us to deal with. It was only thanks to a deal with the Divine being Avrion was allowed to exist in the first place."

Peak then pulled his guard to his side.

"Check if what she says is true for me." He whispered.

"Fine but it still stands that the Redwings and the Empire are officially at war. As stated, the other kingdoms are not to help in any way, and that includes trades."

The Empire were trying their best to get rid of the Redwings without even lifting a finger. First, they wanted the Alure kingdom to attack them, now that he could see this wasn't going to work, he resorted to plan B.

Without trade, a city would need to be self-sustaining. Peak had done his research into the Redwings before coming here. At the moment, most of their coin came from quests and beast cores. Such as protecting Nobles to and from cities, or by selling the beast cores as raw material, that could be used to craft weapons to be sold.

Without being able to trade with the other kingdoms or cities, what would they do for food and other supplies such as clothing? Its main export was beast cores but other than powering up items or making weapons and armour, it was useless for everything else.

"Fine." Ray answered, "Is there anything else?"

The confidence Ray was showing was causing Peak to worry a bit. Did he have a plan for all this he thought? There might have been something he didn't know about.

Then a sinister idea came across his mind, and he started to laugh out loud, the noise echoed through the room.

"Well then, Queen Elizbeth I must say it was so nice of you to bring the Redwings, I guess the King is it now, is right on our doorsteps. As our two nations are at war and you were unofficially invited to this meeting, I am free to do what I wish."

He then turned to the two guards by his side who each was dressed in gold plated armour. It sparkled in the light while holding their long silver spears.

"Kill them!" Peak said as he pointed at the two.

The others in the room didn't know what to do. Afraid that a fight may break out any second now, they stood away from the main table and hid behind their guards.

But before they knew it, Ray had already crossed over the large table and was by the side of the other three. The first guard thrust his spear towards Ray, he then simply stepped to the side and slammed his fist into the spear, breaking it into two before Grabbing the guards head and slamming it down onto the table.

Sparks of purple lightning then left his hand as it continuously shocked the whole guard's body. He started shaking like crazy on top of the table, until foam began to appear from the man's mouth.

The other guard then tried to move to get in closer but for some reason, he couldn't. When he looked down, he could see that both of his legs were frozen in place. Ray then slowly walked up the guard and saw him shivering.

'This man is too powerful, no wonder he wasn't afraid of the Shadow' The guard thought.

Ray placed his hand on the guard's shoulder and slowly, the ice on his body started to rise until it had finally reached just below his neck.

"Remember everything you saw today." Ray said, "This is a message for the Empire."

Leaving the guard alone, Ray then turned to look at Peak and immediately started to walk towards him.

"What are you doing? Are you an idiot!" Peak shouted, "The Empire will never forgive you for this."

"Strange?" Ray replied. "I thought we were already at war, what else could we possibly be afraid of?"

Ray then grabbed Peak by the head and slammed his head down on the table as well. His cheek was squashed up against his mouth, unable to say anything. The only sounds that were heard were grunts and m.o.a.ns.

The more he struggled, the more force Ray would apply, forcing him to eventually remain still.

"This is a message to not only the empire but the other six kingdoms here as well." Ray said, "Just as the Empire has said, anyone who allies with us is an enemy of the Empire. Anyone who allies with them, is an enemy of the Redwings."

Activating the fire attribute his gauntlet started to heat up ever so slightly. A burning sensation could be felt on peaks face, but soon the heat got incredibly hot.

Screaming could be heard in the room, and eventually, Ray pulled Peak's head back and lit his whole body on fire.

"You would have lived if you did not try to kill us," Ray said.

Ray then turned to the frozen guard who had witnessed everything from start to finish. "Remember what I said earlier, tell them everything."
