No one would be naive or arrogant enough to think that they could fight against the Empire.
Among this group of people, the strongest one is only the Silver Peak, and there are hundreds of people in the empire, not to mention the superior gods and legends, in the sanctuary, let alone gold-level extraordinary beings.
The Knights Templar, the Bloodlight Sanctions Institute, the major sects, the major magic academies, the major guilds...these are the forces that the empire can mobilize.
If they discover the truth about the Mysterious Island in the future, everyone can only hope that the empire will not pursue them. It is like ants walking at the feet of adults, and adults don't bother to step on them.
But this possibility is very low.
Because once the secret is exposed, the empire will know that they possess two artifacts, the war peddler’s alchemy technology. This is no ordinary ant, but an ant dragging a golden apple. Adults will be happy to stop and bend over to crush
Kill the little ant and pick up the golden apple into your arms.
As long as you imagine the future of being wanted by the empire, everyone will find it terrifying.
Bai Ya looked sad: "I'm wondering if the death of the Flame Dragon King will be counted on us? After all, we didn't save it at that time, but let it be destroyed together with the Mysterious Island."
Muban shook his head: "We must do this, otherwise we would not have survived until now. Once the Flame Dragon King escapes from the alchemy circle, all of us will be slaughtered by it if we cannot escape. We have negotiated with it, haven't we?
"
Lan Zao comforted: "The empire probably won't know. We didn't kill it ourselves, we used the alchemy circle. That was the power of the war mongers. So, as long as we don't tell, the empire can't blame us for its death."
.”
The young knight fell silent.
After Zhusha was executed, everyone had a debate on the fourth floor of the Alchemy Center about how to deal with the Flame Dragon King.
Because of time constraints, the young knight proposed negotiations.
So, everyone returned to the lava battlefield.
However, the negotiation with the Flame Dragon King did not go well. When the Flame Dragon King saw everyone returning, he immediately understood that the war dealer was dead. It was so arrogant that it was unwilling to share the credit with these little buggers who were picking up the slack.
From its perspective, this makes sense.
The war dealer's death was caused by the powerful team of the Blood Light Sanctioning Institute. The knight boy and the group just happened to meet him. And if they were not forced to do so, these people would not come back to negotiate with him.
"You scumbags have no choice at all!"
"Do you want to negotiate with me?"
"Hahaha, that's ridiculous! Why? Because you are free now?"
"Without my help, you will all die! Even if you don't help me get out of trouble, I can break free of this alchemy circle, and then you will face my wrath!"
"Now, I order you to open the alchemy circle and allow you to kneel down and beg for mercy. Maybe I am in a good mood and will spare the lives of some of you. Hahaha."
The negotiation with the Flame Dragon King completely failed.
When everyone was at a loss, the knight boy suddenly suggested that he could actually try to use the alchemy circle to kill the Flame Dragon King.
The reason why the war dealer did not take action was actually because he wanted to capture this legendary monster alive.
The war dealer is a goblin, and he is greedy by nature.
But the alchemy circle actually has the ability to kill the Flame Dragon King.
Everyone has no choice but to try.
So, under the red light of the knight boy's blood core, the Flame Dragon King's attitude changed drastically before he died.
"no no!"
"You can't do this to me!"
"You damn bug...Okay, okay! I admit that you are qualified to negotiate with me, and we can have a good talk."
However, the red light covered its whole body and quickly melted its body.
The Flame Dragon King roared angrily and unleashed endless curses on the knight boy. In the end, all its blood essence was absorbed by the blood core and used by the boy.
In the process of killing the Flame Dragon King, the young knight carried everyone else's back.
He concealed the fusion of the blood core and continued to conceal the terrifying power of the blood core.
As for the new changes in dragon people after leaving the island...
He had no explanation and no need to explain.
The young man was silent, while Zong Ge was hesitant.
Because he has another channel through which he can contact the higher-ups of the empire.
That's his father!
However, Zonge didn't want to do this.
According to this method, the credit gained from dedicating the artifact is not the honor he wants.
He didn't have to think twice to know what his brothers and sisters would think of him.
Just bad luck.
Got a big deal.
The sinister villain who killed the priests of the Shengming Sect and attacked his own companions...
The success Zong Ge needs is definitely not this.
He needs great military exploits, and the glory that makes everyone shut up and unable to question or slander him.
Another point is that if he goes through his father's channel, he is not sure that all these people will survive. He should be able to save one life, after all, he is his father's son.
But what about these people?
"Will my father take full advantage of his merits and let these people escape their crimes?" Zong Ge felt that there was little hope in this. He knew his father.
So, the half-orc said: "Everyone, I have a different idea."
"It's too negative to always think about getting away with it."
"Recall how difficult it was for us to fight through life and death on the Mysterious Island."
"We didn't really mean to kill Zhu Sha and the Flame Dragon King. We were just forced into desperation. It turns out that our choice was right, thanks to our captain. Otherwise, we would have been killed by Zhu Sha
Abandoned by the sand, slaughtered by the Flame Dragon King, or destroyed together with the island."
"How the top officials of the empire view the ants at their feet is how they view us. Have everyone forgotten the attitude of Zhusha and the Flame Dragon King? These powerful men who are above us will not recognize our efforts.
They won’t listen to our words at all.”
"We should not give up our gains. Although we can only use these two artifacts a little bit, their only power is already so powerful. Are you willing to give them up like this?"
Everyone was silent.
Zong Ge's words touched their hearts.
No one is willing to accept it, but what can be done?
"Now there is an opportunity in front of us." Zong Ge said.
The stand-in boy raised his eyebrows: "You mean the Pirate God's Throne?"
Zong Ge nodded and looked at them frankly: "Using pearl foam can only delay it for a while. We will be discovered sooner or later."
"I am very much in favor of atonement. Because everyone knows that there is absolutely no way we can resist the empire. Even if we are on the run for a while, we have to remain anonymous and be in fear all day long. Who wants to live this kind of life?"
"And atonement is risky. Our biggest reason is actually our lack of strength. Imagine how the empire would treat us if we were legends? The higher-ups will definitely try to recruit us. If these two artifacts are what they need,
They will choose to trade with us. In fact, they have many more artifacts than we do."
"And what if we become gods? By becoming the pirate king, we can even negotiate and cooperate with the empire to a certain extent!"
Bai Ya's eyes widened: "Becoming a god? Just by us?"
But San Dao nodded and supported Zong Ge: "In fact, the fourth generation pirate king is just a gold-level transcendent."
Bai Ya was very curious: "Is there such a thing?"
Cang Xu nodded: "He was assassinated and died soon after he became the pirate king. Even if he becomes a god, the use of divine power varies from person to person."
Bai Ya: "Uh."
Cang Xu: "However, this is indeed a very good idea. The Hundred Needles Clan Leader is a line, and we can use the Empire Spy line. We may not be able to become the Pirate King in the end. To be honest, this possibility is too high.
It’s too small.”
"But we can use the support of the empire to make ourselves as strong as possible. The merits we gain will be an important bargaining chip for our future atonement and can demonstrate our loyalty to the empire."
"We can't show our faces now. There must be many people investigating our whereabouts. Disguising ourselves as an island and wandering in the ocean can minimize the risk of exposure."
"If the atonement fails and it really doesn't work, we can continue to live as pirates. This will be our last resort!"
Hearing Cang Xu's last words, the knight boy, Zong Ge, Bai Ya and others all frowned subconsciously.
No one wants to become a pirate, but what Cang Xu said is right - this is a retreat.
"006 is a key figure and needs to be controlled. He must be allowed to follow us all the time." Muban suggested.
"What should I do if I'm covered in ash?" Que Fan asked.
Cang Xu's eyes were cold: "Kill him, he knows that his name is still at the top of the holy monument. The secret of the mermaid's fairy tale is likely to be exposed because of him. We cannot afford such consequences."
Zong Ge groped for his chin: "Golden chin, the sea snake girl can absorb it."
San Dao nodded with a rather complicated expression: "We need peripheral people."
"As for loyalty, loyalty, the magic contract can solve this problem. Using 006, we can let the empire provide it." Fat Tongue said.
One person is short of wisdom, but everyone is wise.
Strength is might.
One word from one person determines the fate of others.
