Chapter 273: Chapter 185: Want to Turn the Tables? _2
Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!
In the arena, a slow, extremely unfriendly round of applause starts. Even a fool like Long Yi could hear the rage in the applause.
Without lifting his head, Long Yi knew that the applause could only come from one person.
The Emperor of the Black Dragon Empire, Kaniel Black.
"You’re Long Yi, right?" Kaniel Black’s voice echoed throughout the whole arena.
"Yes, I am Long Yi. I suppose the legless idiot must have mentioned my name to you," Long Yi replied with a smile. Hearing the mention of the severed leg, a tall, thin man in a black robe by the emperor changed his expression noticeably.
"Your Majesty!"
The man tried to say something, but the emperor silenced him with a wave of his hand.
"Well done, very well done. I assume your moronic emperor sees you as a secret weapon," said the Black Dragon Emperor.
"You’re wrong, you fool. I almost missed the registration. It was only through shameless begging that I was allowed to compete," Long Yi responded with a smile.
At this time, he was still holding Ai Lin in his arms. As a Half-Dragon Body, her physical strength was exhausted to its limit causing her to faint in Long Yi’s arms. By now, though still weak, she could stand on her own. But for the greater good, she decided not to interrupt, so she continued to blush and snuggle in Long Yi’s arms.
Kaniel Black has been in power for more than sixty years, centralizing authority and controlling all power within the Black Dragon Empire. No one dared to talk to him this way, even if they were from an enemy kingdom, they would at least pay face.
But Long Yi is not a diplomat, he didn’t have to hold back so much. While he wouldn’t claim to be an expert at verbal sparring, he had never been scared of anyone.
"Good! Good!" Kaniel Black was truly enraged this time. He was about to order all the dragon knights in the field to slaughter every member of the White Dragon Empire present.
But the tall, thin man in the black robe by his side realized something, whispered a few words into the emperor’s ear. The eyes of the Black Dragon Emperor suddenly lit up.
"Boy, is your dragon a Demon Abyss Dragon?" asked Kaniel Black.
"Yes!" Long Yi patted Bajie’s head, and Bajie immediately issued a ’guh’ sound. However, due to its size, it was much less pleasant to the ear compared to Xiaoyou.
"I see, so you are a Dual Dragon Knight with a Demon Abyss Dragon. That makes sense!" Kaniel Black seemed to understand something. Then he abruptly stood up and ordered, "Imperial Dragon Knights, line up!"
Suddenly, all the Black Dragon Empire’s dragon knights sprung onto the field, their imposing figures covered the entire arena in an instant!
"Boy, there are over a hundred vicious dragon knights here, and around this stadium, there is also a dragon knight army of three hundred. Now I ask you, if we fight now, what is your plan to win?" Emperor Kaniel Black asked.
"Fight to the death, what else?"
The answer from Long Yi is simple. In the face of absolute numerical superiority, besides fighting to the death, there really isn’t much else to do. The number of times in history when the outnumbered have triumphed all depended on some condition being met - you always need some advantage.
"How about I propose another option," said Emperor Kaniel Black with a smile.
"Shoot, tell me." Long Yi was very calm in the dialogue.
"The four of you, surrender!"
Emperor Kaniel Black went straight to his terms. He felt deeply hurt for his lost men. However, he wasn’t mourning the dead. He was angry about his pride being hurt, and he was curious about this unexpected combination called Long Yi.
Because apart from the four people he saw, there were also a golem and a female demon. And with the golem and female demon alone, they were able to defeat a dragon knight. This power was very enticing to Emperor Kaniel Black.
"Surrender?" Long Yi seemed not to understand and asked again.
"Yes, surrender. As long as you submit to my Black Dragon, you won’t die today!" Emperor Kaniel Black said.
"Don’t you think you’re being a bit insincere?" the honest Long Yi pouted discontentedly, "Look at those who surrender, they’re always promised wealth, power, gold and beautiful women. You say surrender and we should just surrender? Won’t that make us lose face?"
Emperor Kaniel Black burst out laughing, "Fine then, tell me, what do you want?"
Long Yi began to think very seriously, while not far away, Ka Zan was getting so anxious he was smoking. He didn’t understand Long Yi’s personality, but when he saw Long Yi’s face, he found that Long Yi was really thinking!
The fool! This would be treason!
"Okay, I know what I want!" said Long Yi.
"Speak!" Emperor Kaniel Black ordered.
"I want half of the territory of the Black Dragon Empire, starting from the border of the White Dragon Empire!" As soon as these words escaped Long Yi’s mouth, chaos immediately ensued in the crowd, followed by endless curses.
"Hahahaha! The kid has guts!" The smile on Emperor Kaniel Black’s face became even more sincere.
