He controlled Yada Sect, which had ancient martial artists as its members.Thus, he also knew about the incidents involving the beasts.James' explanation about the animal mutation had slightly convinced him.However, it was still inappropriate to abdicate the new King.Zacarius continued. “There are still ten more years, which should be enough time to prepare. The international situation is quite a mess right now. Many new countries have emerged, and the Kingdom of Merania has been watching Sol closely. If the current king steps down, Merania will seize the opportunity and cause discord.“I hope you understand.”Hearing this, James fell into deep thought. Dragonville had a vast amount of land, most of which was deep forests. It would be easy to develop these lands and build a new moat and fortress.“Focus on conquest,”Zacarius spoke again. He looked at James and said, “Right now, every country is trying to seize the resources and lands of the countries at our borders. You
Everyone’s eyes were fixed on James.In the past few years, James had disappeared without a trace. All of a sudden, he appeared once more, telling them to gather to discuss an important matter.Blake looked at James and asked, “What’s going on, James? Is this matter truly that important? ”“Mhm, it’s of the utmost importance.”James’ expression became solemn as he looked at the people in the villa, saying, “I’m going to declare Dragonville as an independent nation in the Southern Plains. I’ll need everyone’s help.”“What?” The people present were baffled by his announcement.Independence?James wanted to make Dragonville a nation of its own?Everyone looked at James puzzledly.If he really wanted to rule the nation, he would have become the king four years ago. He would not have waited until this moment. So, what exactly was the purpose of Dragonville’s independence right now?The people in the villa were all James’ former confidants and were absolutely trustworthy.James
In just three years, she had climbed to the position of director.James looked at the time. It was almost noon.“I’ve always remembered that I still owe you a meal. Do you have time today?” James smiled.He was embarrassed to seek out Quincy.Whenever a problem arose, he always sought her help. This time, it was a critical issue that impacted humankind's survival.Thus, he had to shamelessly come to see her.Quincy looked at the time and hesitated briefly. Then, she said, “I originally had a meeting, but since you’ve come all the way to Cansington to treat me to a meal, it’s impolite of me to refuse.”With that said, Quincy stood up and gestured to James. “Let’s go.”James stood up and left the office with Quincy.Inside a private room in a high-end western restaurant in Cansington, Quincy brought her glass of red wine to her lips and took a sip. “Go ahead. Tell me what’s going on.”“It’s nothing. I just came here to catch up with you.”“Do you think I can’t see through yo
Quincy was a beautiful and charismatic woman, who was also extremely capable to boot.Countless suitors approached her in the past three years.However, she refused them all.She already had a man in her heart, and it was impossible to replace him.Deep down, she knew she and James had virtually no chance of being together in this lifetime.The two casually chatted for a while.James made the decision quite hastily and still had many more things to settle. Thus, after hurriedly finishing lunch, he bid farewell to Quincy.Quincy returned to her company and began filing her resignation. After that, she prepared to head over to the Capital to regain control of New Era Commerce.Meanwhile, James went to see the Blithe King to explain his new plan.“Blithe King, I need someone to take charge of the Southern Plains right now. This person must have a great deal of prestige. As a commander, you are a very suitable candidate. I’ve also discussed this matter with the old and new King. B
“I need Mount Thunder Sect’s assistance.”Without missing a beat, Jackson replied, “No problem! I’ll let my daughter lead some disciples from Mount Thunder Sect to the Southern Plains to help you complete your ten-year plan!”Jackson wholeheartedly supported James.James looked at Simon and continued. “Mount Thunder Sect can’t stay idle either. From what I understand, the earth will expand in the future, and many more mountains, rivers, and land will come into being. For humanity to survive, we need to occupy as much of earth as we can. Mount Thunder Sect should use this area as your base and as a foundation to build a city. As for the other things you need to do, go ahead and proceed with your plans. The country has pledged to support you.”Simon stood up and said, “Thank you for telling me this, but I have some other questions I’d like to ask you.”James said, “Go ahead.”Simon asked, “You’ve already stepped into the ninth rank. I’d like to inquire how you did it. In Mount Thun
In order to get Mount Thunder Sect’s support, James passed the Lunar and Terra Art to Simon.However, James merely gave Simon a simplified version.This was because James did not completely trust Simon and was slightly worried about what he would do.After Simon acquired the Lunar and Terra Art, his hands trembled from excitement.Jackson was intrigued by the cultivation method as well. Despite that, he did not ask too many questions and instead changed the topic.“When are you heading to the Southern Plains, James?”James replied, “I’ve already made all my preparations and will leave for the Southern Plains immediately. After I resolve the matters in the Southern Plains, I’ll notify the ancient martial artists of Sol regarding the details of the seals.”Hearing this, Jackson looked at Delainey, sitting quietly beside them.“Delainey.”“Yes, Dad?”Delainey stood up and said respectfully, “I await your orders, Dad.”Jackson instructed, “Gather ten thousand disciples from Moun
At that moment, the door opened.A young man walked into the room and immediately became the focus of everyone’s attention.It was James who had rushed over from Mount Thunder Sect.While on the way, James made arrangements for the meeting.Henry returned to the Southern Plains a few days ago and had begun investigations on the personnel there. He figured out where people’s loyalties lay in the Southern Plains.The problem with the personnel in the Southern Plain’s Military Region had plagued the region for a long time. James planned to purge the military region of its dissidents but never found the time. Now that he wanted to establish a country, it was necessary to clean up the place.As soon as James entered the room, everyone stood up.James walked to the seat in front, sat down, and waved his hand to signal everyone to sit down.“Dragon King.”After everyone sat down, Henry stood up and walked toward James. He took out a document and handed it over, saying, “I’ve prepared
“Breaking news!“The Dragon King, James, has reappeared in the Southern Plains and arrested more than ten generals, including a one-star general.”The news about what happened in the Southern Plains quickly spread throughout the country and caused an uproar.Talk of it spread quickly all over the country.Before the public had a chance to calm themselves, James appeared on a social media platform for the first time and posted an announcement.“The Southern Plains declares its independence.”At the same time, journalists from all over the country gathered in an eighteen-story building’s top floor at the center of Dragonville in the Southern Plains.James’ voice rang out clearly.It was a live broadcast. Everyone from the country and even all over the world was able to watch it.The news James released online spread like wildfire, and many people tuned into the live broadcast.“What happened?”“Everything is peaceful now, so why did Dragonville suddenly declare its independe
