Chapter 1619: Chapter 1222: An Unexpectedly Narrow Mind
"Is it feasible?" Korey, for the first time, lacked confidence in the Dragon Knights.
"This time our Dragon Clan and their Dragon Clan may be evenly matched in strength, but we are clearly at a numerical disadvantage. So all I can do is find ways to enhance the combat level of each dragon. Speaking of combat improvements, the Dragon Knights’ ability to amplify the Dragon Clan’s combat prowess is significant, after all, this is the training system I established with my own hands," Long Yi said.
Korey listened, pondered, and then his eyes lit up, "Not long before you left, I asked you, after your departure, the White Dragon Empire will become the most powerful empire in the Human Realm. No country here could match us, even without Giant Dragons and Dragon Knights, we would still be the strongest. Is there really a need to train more Dragon Knights? I remember you told me then: ’It is necessary. We must not only train Dragon Knights but also train them on a large scale. Because of the reconciliation between the Dragon Clan and humans, the threshold to become a Dragon Knight will be lower. Becoming a Dragon Knight should be as common as becoming an athlete. We need to turn Dragon Knights into stars, make them celebrities, involve everyone. Turn Dragon Knights from warriors into stars, into idols, into beings everyone adores.’"
"At that time, I thought you said this only to turn the Dragon Clan into an industry. Now I realize that you did it all for today’s coming," said Korey while looking into Long Yi’s eyes.
"At that time, I had a vague feeling that this day might come. Making the Dragon Knights into a form of entertainment was indeed my intention, after all, it’s more comfortable to enjoy worship than to revel in slaughter. But now, if we don’t eliminate the threat of those Worms, then I can tell you clearly that all three Planes created by Creator God Simu will be destroyed. With the help of Giant weapons, perhaps the Human Realm will be the last to perish, but it will eventually not escape its fate," Long Yi said, his face void of any smile while the immense threat of 1.5 billion oppressed him so much that he couldn’t smile.
"I understand. I’ll immediately convene the World Congress and mobilize all Dragon Riders," Korey said.
"No, the World Congress needs only to make clear to all the countries the stakes of this matter. By now every Dragon Rider should already know, previously Creator God Simu has already communicated this to every dragon, asking them to tell their riders. Giant Dragons are bound to leave, after all, they are not creatures of this world, but the Dragon Riders are different. These Dragon Riders have families here, friends, loved ones, and most importantly, their countries. If their countries interfere, then the Dragon Riders will not be able to leave with peace of mind," Long Yi said.
"I’ll get to it right away," Korey said.
In fact, all the emperors of the Human Realm’s empires already knew about this. In the Human Realm, the relationship between Giant Dragons and Dragon Riders is extremely close, and many of the emperors are Dragon Riders themselves, so it was impossible for them to be unaware.
Thus, when Korey summoned them, the emperors who had already prepared for everything quickly rushed over—not by airships, not by carriages, but directly by Giant Dragons.
From the sending of the summons to the gathering of the emperors in the grandest Imperial Palace of the White Dragon Empire, it took no more than two hours.
Only the emperors and their most trusted confidants were present.
Although these emperors meet annually in the White Dragon Empire to discuss major issues of the Human Realm, every time they arrive here with composure, not as they do now, with a continuous heavy buzzing throughout the conference room.
Among these emperors, Long Yi saw Empress Suolin of the Green Dragon Empire. Decades have passed, and the once naive girl had grown into a mature Empress. Korey told him that she had married long ago and had two teenage Crown Princes.
Seeing Long Yi standing behind Korey, Suolin was first stunned, then she came up to Long Yi excitedly, looking up at him and smiling, "True to the Giants, so many years have passed, and you look exactly like you did in my memory, without even a slight change."
"Because I have been traveling through time and space, in fact, it has only been a few years for me," Long Yi said.
Suolin nodded, then looked around Long Yi and asked softly, "Is she doing well?"
"Suolin? She might be traveling in some point of time," Long Yi said.
"Indeed... Time is truly a miraculous thing," Suolin nodded, then lowered her voice even further and asked, "Regarding this matter, how dangerous do you think it is for you?"
Despite her low voice, almost instantly, the buzz in the conference room disappeared. The emperors had received relevant news from their dragons, but none of it was certain. Long Yi had been standing there without speaking, and the emperors had not realized that he was Long Yi. However, when Empress Suolin of the Green Dragon Empire addressed him, everyone realized that man was Long Yi, who had left the Human Realm for decades!
And now, upon hearing Suolin’s inquiry, everyone wanted to know the true extent of the threat posed by this issue.
