Chapter 488 - 488 A Momentary Pleasure of Lovers
488 A Momentary Pleasure of Lovers
Once the contract was completed, the two runes would disappear. If the contract were not completed, punishment would befall them.
“All right, you guys can leave now!” Li Xiang waved his hand.
Yameng took a deep breath, took one last look at the City of Dawn, and left with his remaining subordinates.
This trip to the City of Dawn had caused the Eternal race heavy losses. However, fighting with the Lord of Dawn meant he could have a certain understanding of the opponent.
“Next time, I’ll destroy the Kingdom of Dawn!”
At this moment, Ye Xi and the other heroes returned from the battlefield. The rest of them were cleaning up the battlefield.
“My Lord, are you going to let them go?” Ye Xi asked.
“Keeping them will do more harm than good. Why don’t we exchange them for some benefits and let them leave? The Eternal race is just one of the many races in the Alliance of Gods. Even if we destroy them, it won’t do us much good. It’ll only make things worse for us. In terms of resources, we’re far inferior to the Alliance of Gods, so there’s no need for us to worry about temporary gains and losses. This battle can last long, and we still have many opportunities.”
“Understood!”
Li Xiang released the Eternal King because he didn’t want him to be trapped and cause significant damage to the Kingdom of Dawn. Other than that, he had another consideration.
Even if the Eternal King Yameng was killed and the Eternal race suffered a heavy blow, they could choose another chief. With their foundation, it wouldn’t take long for them to stabilize again.
However, this would significantly affect the Kingdom of Dawn, and the Alliance of Gods would target and suppress the country even more.
In terms of development speed, the Kingdom of Dawn was thriving, and there was no need to slow down its development because of this.
He had just looked at his system panel and saw that he was close to upgrading the City of Dawn to level 8.
The morale had long since reached 85 points, but the prosperity was still 78 points. It only needed the last two points to meet the upgrade conditions.
As for the resources consumed, it was not important.
However, these 78 points of prosperity had been going on for a long time without any changes.
This was why Li Xiang had agreed to the last two conditions with the Eternal race.
He hoped to increase the prosperity of the Kingdom of Dawn through external stimulus.
After all, the larger the country, the harder it was to raise prosperity.
At this time, Li Xiang turned around and saw that the Scorpion race and Ogres in the city had been wiped out with the help of Yang Mi and the others.
Previously, Li Xiang had activated the Halo skill and the defense and recovery bonus of the Black Tortoise Armor, which had greatly increased the strength of the warriors who participated in the extermination of the two races. Naturally, the speed of the extermination had also increased, and there were almost no casualties.
As the Lord of Dark and the Eternal King fled, the remaining foreign races were not even worth mentioning at this moment.
The Scorpion race and the Ogres were killed in less than half a day. New Rune Bombs were placed underground, covered with soil, and strengthened with magic.
As long as no one touched the soil underground, the Rune Bombs would not explode.
This kind of explosion wouldn’t affect the surface of the ground, but it could cause fatal damage underground.
After all, the power of the Rune Bombs was mainly based on the rune power attached to it, and the power of the explosion was only attached.
As the last foreign race warrior in the border city was killed, the entire Kingdom of Dawn was instantly covered in a layer of gold.
At the same time, a Luck Wyrm appeared above the City of Dawn.
Near the Wyrm, countless golden clouds of mist appeared in the air. The Wyrm swam happily in the dense golden energy. It opened its mouth and devoured the golden energy.
As it devoured, its body also began to undergo a strange change.
The scales became more complete and tougher, claws grew out from its abdomen, dragon horns also began to split, and a piece of golden scale grew out from its chin.
The Luck Wyrm was transforming into a true Dragon of luck.
However, only a few people could see this scene. Only those who were proficient in the path of luck and the true upper echelons of the Kingdom of Dawn could see the transformation of the Luck Wyrm.
“The Kingdom of Dawn has born a true Dragon of luck. They’ve killed so many foreign races and even defeated three demigods. They’ve also forced the Eternal race to make a contract. The luck they’ve plundered is enough to advance the Wyrm to a true dragon.”
In a city of the Kingdom of Dawn, an older man with a white beard looked in the direction of the City of Dawn from afar, his eyes filled with surprise and joy.
And Ye Qiu, who had seen the Luck Wyrm last time, was even more excited.
“The Kingdom of Dawn has finally established a foothold in the Myriad World Continent! The Alliance of Gods sent three of its top races and even sent the King of the Angel race and the Eternal King, but they all returned in defeat. If this news spread, it would be enough for the Kingdom of Dawn to shock the entire world.”
Fu Mingxue didn’t say much and only nodded, his hand continuously caressing his treasured saber.
He had exchanged his merit points for this saber from the Treasure Pavilion, and it was a divine grade saber.
He wouldn’t have loved it so much if it was only divine grade. The real reason was that this saber was called the Phoenix Saber, which perfectly matched the saber techniques he comprehended after seeing the phoenix. This feeling was extremely mysterious, and he felt that if he used this saber to execute a corresponding saber technique, it would become even more powerful.
As for whether the Kingdom of Dawn would be able to gain a foothold, it was not within his consideration.
He was just a warrior. When the country was in trouble, he could help to fight the enemy. He didn’t care about anything else.
At the same time, Li Xiang could sense that the Star Spirit and the space it was in were also advancing along with the Luck Wyrm.
The timely release of the news that the war had ended on the identity card immediately made all the citizens of the Kingdom of Dawn cheer.
This reaction might have been a little slow, but it was still wrapped in a massive amount of power of faith.
Even Li Xiang’s face turned red from the impact of this wild tide of power of faith. It was as if he was drunk, and his eyes were blurred.
Yang Mi, wearing armor and holding a long spear, jumped over. When she saw Li Xiang’s appearance, her eyes were full of surprise.
“What is this? Drank too much? What kind of wine is so strong? Could it be that Master Chef Chen Tao has found a better wine?” As she spoke, she got closer and sniffed.
“I don’t smell any alcohol.”
Li Xiang stretched out his big hand and instantly pulled Yang Mi into his arms.
“Today, the whole world joins in the jubilation. Send orders to all the cities. Except for those who are maintaining vigilance, everyone else can revel for three days!”
“Yes! My Lord!”
Li Xiang was hugging Yang Mi, and her beautiful face was blushing.
The other heroes and subordinates left one after another tactfully.
Even Zhou Yutong and the others did not appear.
Li Xiang initiated his ability with his mind, and immediately, the two disappeared from the top of the city wall and came to his bedroom.
He could feel Yang Mi’s body turning soft and hot. He looked down and saw a pair of hazy eyes.
Without any words, he lowered his head and kissed her soft lips.
As they kissed, their clothes kept falling.
Not long after, heavy breathing and panting could be heard in the room.
A momentary pleasure of lovers was better than gold.
