"Clap Clap Clap Clap, Congratulations! You had finally beaten the Royals of the Empire." The Masked Announcer said as he looked at the pathetic expression on the Queen. "Did not expect you to stoop so low that you will even dare to use kids as your human shield and insurance against him."
The Queen wanted to reply but because of the venom from the non lethal round, there was nothing she could sound it loud. All she could do was muffled screams and angry expressions with her eyebrows.
The rest laughed at her as they hauled her ass out of the palace to see that all the Royal Attendants were still alive. That was when she realised that she had been betrayed by them, especially her most trustworthy servant. The looks in her eyes said it all as Puzzle bowed ever so slightly.
"Oh, don't worry. He is not getting away. For what he did, he might need to serve the new King until the day he dies. There will be no rest for him." Jin said and Puzzle nodded his head silently. As they dragged the Queen out of the Palace, the Masked Announcer sounded the city's alarms and gave the news to everyone through the public speakers even though he should not have any rights or permission to that particular channel.
"Lord Jin had completed the challenge. As a witness to his victory, the Masked Announcer of the Three Winged Angel Dungeon (which is me, if you have not recognised) had deemed Lord Jin of Mount Sunn, the new King of the Empire! Everyone, let us clap!" The Masked Announcer stated as he was standing out in the open clapping furiously just for Jin.
"Any famous first liners from the new King?"
"Royal Guards, get the situation under control right now. The Grey Bears and Pandarens would be assisting you to sweep every single district systematically to ensure that no Dragonlings are left. And Steele, get your ass here and lock the Queen up. We got a lot of questions to ask especially after the stunt she pulled to get all those Dragon Mechanoids in the city." Jin said and the rest of the Grey Bear laughed.
"Erm…That's not really a famous first liner, that's more like a paragraph. Regardless, glad to see that the King is already doing stuff to repair the city he had destroyed. That's some responsibility." The Masked announcer said and Jin tapped on his shoulders, asking if he could say a few more words.
"Oh, and any spies from other nations listening to this. You are welcome to try and fight us. If my Mechanoid Squad and I can beat 12 Mecha Dragons up in one night, I surely can kick your butt if you dare to invade us when we are at the most vulnerable. Otherwise, I am open to negotiations and creating friendships. That's all, thanks."
"Looks like our dear new King seemed to be quite a business person. Does not sound like it's a bad thing but things might be heating up for the Empire if he were to stick for some time." The Masked Announcer said but Jin knew that he was baiting the people because Syn might have already told him about the early Armageddon that the new King was about to dish out. It was a matter of time that happened and yet the Masked Announcer was still trying to hype things.
Soon, Steele arrived with a group of Veteran Royal Guards and they took custody of the Queen who had been paralysed. "So, is there any proper place to keep her before she had justice served on to her?"
"If you want justice to be served, these two are more than willing to do so," Steele said and it was then the two elite assassins came out from behind the Royal Guards.
"Huh? I thought the Royal Assassins are loyal to a fault to the Queen?" Jin asked and though he knew that he did not need to take his weapon out, those assassins traumatised him a little with all those laser web mounts that he instinctively placed his hands on his weapon holster.
"That you are wrong. Their allegiance is not with the person but with the crown." Steele said as he bent his knee and greeted his new King and so did the other veteran Royal Guards. The assassins followed eventually as well without hesitation and they took the Queen away from Yinn who had been holding on to her.
"This venom is not that great long term. I suggest using this instead." Sigma took a bullet and passed it to Yinn. "If you can replicate it then congrats to you. Otherwise, we are always available to supply you with a limited stock once the city has been rebuilt."
"Thank you, I will take note of that." Yinn smiled quickly and Sigma returned the gesture too. The Queen seemed to have regained a bit of her senses and tried to struggle but the centipede on Sigma crawled around Thessalia and in an instant, she was frozen.
"We will take it from here." The veteran Royal Guards said as they pulled her up and lay it over one of the guards' shoulders.
"Then, I guess we better listen to the King's previous orders to clear the Bearling City of the Dragonlings," Yinn said and the rest nodded their head as well. Jin wanted to move along with them too but the Masked Announcer held him back.
"There is a private matter I have to ask before allowing you to go. If you would spare some time for me." The Masked Announcer said and Jin looked at Steele. In an instant, he knew that they required some privacy, which Steele gave by telling the Grey Bears the situation within the city grounds.
"What is it that you got to say?" Jin asked as he sat at the steps of the Palace's entrance with the Masked Announcer looking over the broken city.
"Just a minor request for you to consider if you do not mind since I already knew your plans to initiate an early Armageddon." The Masked Announcer said as he finally decided to sit beside Jin.
