Chapter 1012: Alone

Stanwell’s words not only ignore the serious injuries that the ‘culprit’ Samuel caused to Bracklin, but it also declared the validity of the duel.

No one would think that Stanwell was convinced by the ignorant and fearless Prince ‘Arthur’ with just 1 sentence. Compared with a prince of an empire, even if it was a mechanical grand master, the Demi-God level powerhouse was still an existence that must be looked up to. Prince Arthur was rude because he came a step late and didn’t hear what Bracklin said. Therefore, he didn’t even know the identity and strength of the ‘uncle’ in front of him.

The key reason why Stanwell changed his tone was that he glanced at Gueroas. The 2 elders should have negotiated secretly. It must have something to do with Prince ‘Arthur”s ‘filial piety’ to Gueroas. No wonder the Royal Highness Prince appeared to be fearless after Gueroas appeared.

Only Stanwell and Gueroas, the 2 Demi-God level dragons elders, knew that it was not ‘Arthur’ who was ignorant and fearless, but everyone including Fagerius.

“Very good.” Chen Rui nodded to Bracklin, “You have a reasonable uncle.”

Bracklin didn’t react from his surprise for a while, and he nodded subconsciously. Stanwell’s eyes twitched. He finally acquiesced to the title of ‘reasonable’.

Fortunately, Chen Rui didn’t continue talking, but came to Fagerius and pointed to Bracklin, “General Fagerius, look, that young man is injured like this, and his uncle thinks it’s a fair duel. You still think it’s just nonsense?”

Bracklin was about to jump up when he heard the word ‘young man’, then Stanwell gave him a sideways glance, so he immediately lowered his head.

Zamindar happened to meet Stanwell before when he once went to the Dragon Valley with the church representatives to negotiate the magic game. He said, “Sir Fagerius should not question the decision of Sir Stanwell. This is the fair duel of dragon knights. Moreover, it’s a life-and-death duel.”

“That’s right!” Chen Rui was about to continue when Fagerius frowned and took a few steps forward.

“Your Highness Arthur, Trinis is the deputy legion commander of the Iron Scale Legion personally appointed by His Majesty. Like Samuel, he is a member of my dragon knight legion. He is also the supreme commander of the capital army stationed in the Golden Estate this time. Whatever the reason, if you have to put him to death, Your Highness will definitely not be able to explain to His Majesty.”

These words not only brought out Lex the Great, but also pointed out the fact that Samuel and Trinis were in the dragon knight legion, and Fagerius himself was the legion commander of the dragon knight legion, which was almost the same as Samuel — For both public and private reasons, Prince ‘Arthur’ should give consideration to this.

“I understand.” Chen Rui showed a pondering expression and nodded slowly. Trinis finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this scene.

As everyone knew, Samuel was loyal to Prince ‘Arthur’. If Prince ‘Arthur’ was asked to give Samuel a way out, there would be no problem.

“Then… Samuel.” Chen Rui glanced at Samuel, “Execute the result of this ‘life and death duel’ now. Loser, die.”

Fagerius was shocked. He didn’t expect that when he stated the pros and cons to Prince ‘Arthur’ like this, the other party still showed no mercy, which was tantamount to slapping the face of the dragon knight legion and super powerhouse.

Trinis thought he had heard it wrong, but when he saw Samuel approaching step by step with his long sword in hand, he just came to his senses. He used an item and turned into a red light, escaping into the distance.

The red light was fleeting, and it had turned into a luminous spot in the blink of an eye. However, this luminous spot was quickly magnified – Trinis suddenly went backward. Obviously, this was not what he wanted.

“How dare you run away cowardly after letting your dragon partner get hurt like this!” Stanwell snorted coldly with a cold light in his eyes.

“No…” Before Trinis could say ‘spare my life’, his body was suddenly torn apart into nothingness. The rest of the damaged ‘Ash Suit’ fell to the ground, looking bleak.

“That guy is not my partner.” Bracklin muttered in a low voice.

“Stop talking nonsense.” Stanwell said calmly, “Isn’t that shameful enough? Come back with me!”

Bracklin was afraid of this uncle since he was a child, so he didn’t dare to say more. He reluctantly stood up and walked to Stanwell’s side. Stanwell glanced at Gueroas and didn’t greet Fagerius, then he flickered and disappeared with Bracklin.

Fagerius didn’t expect things to actually take such a turn. Trinis was killed by Stanwell. His mind couldn’t digest what happened for a while.

Gueroas noticed that Stanwell never dared to look at Chen Rui. He knew that this guy killed Trinis out of anger. He shook his head secretly and waved toward Anderlu.

Anderlu’s body suddenly had a layer of silver-white light, and the serious injury recovered quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. Anderlu had taken the potion given by Samuel. Now with the help of Gueroas, the recovery speed was faster. His body shape slowly turned into the little shota, but his body was full of terrifying scars.

However, the recovery power of the holy dragon family was extremely powerful. Now that the injuries had been brought under control, it was only a matter of time before they recovered.

“Thank you, Sir Gueroas.” Anderlu stood up and bowed.

“Little Anderlu, I heard that you were grounded. You sneaked out this time, right? As for your father Pelin… don’t worry, I’ll go and explain to him.”

“Thank you sir!” Anderlu expressed his gratitude.

Gueroas looked at Samuel and added, “You have a good partner.”

Fagerius’ facial expression on the side was even more unsightly. Gueroas’ words revealed his undisguised admiration for Samuel. Gueroas was a powerhouse at the Demi-God level, and he was also 1 of the elders that Dragon Emperor Pagris relied on, holding real power. In this way, Samuel’s position in the dragon knight legion would only get higher and higher. The possibility of excluding him from the legion was almost zero.

Although Elder Stanwell of the Dragon Valley caused the death of Trinis, the reason was still the persecution of Prince ‘Arthur’.

In this incident, the 2 elder dragons, Stanwell and Gueroas, both stood on the side of ‘Arthur’, Fagerius could no longer say anything, but he said to Chen Rui indifferently, “This is the end of today’s affairs, but, Your Highness Arthur, no matter what the cause of this incident is, the result is that the legion commander appointed by His Majesty died in your estate. You need to give His Majesty an explanation.”

Chen Rui smiled and said something that surprised Fagerius, “General Fagerius, can I understand that because of Trinis’ death, a conspiracy against the Golden Estate… or against me, the third prince, was shattered?”

Fagerius narrowed his eyes slightly, “What does Your Highness mean?”

“General should be very clear about what the Iron Scale Legion has done in the Golden Estate during this period. Especially today, after the trouble in the Flower Wine Tavern, your legion wounded the Jade Legion defense forces who came. In addition to the soldiers, 7 innocent civilians had died and the whole of the Fresh Flower Tavern has been razed to the ground. Knight Zamindar explained the whole duel situation to me in detail just now. At the beginning, it was Trinis who took the initiative to challenge. He took out the ‘Ash Suit’ in the duel, then he drank black potions which is obviously a premeditated plan. Not only that, when he lost to Samuel, he actually summoned a dragon to carry out a sneak attack. If Samuel’s dragon partner hadn’t arrived in time, Samuel would have been annihilated now! If this is not a conspiracy, what is it?”

“This is just a personal grudge between him and Samuel, and the so-called conspiracy is nothing but Your Highness’ guess! There is no evidence!” Fagerius replied coldly. He was a super powerhouse, yet he was actually questioned by the prince. If it wasn’t for Gueroas beside him, he had already flared up or left on the spot.

Prince ‘Arthur’ didn’t seem to feel the chill in Fagerius’ voice at all as he continued, “Unfortunately, Trinis is a useless weakling. Even with this advantage, he was defeated by Samuel. He was also a coward who left after losing.. Even the dragons who left showed contempt for him. What I can’t figure out is, how can such a person be worthy of being a dragon knight?”

The last sentence made Gueroas nod. At the same time, it also gave Fagerius a loud slap in the face. Fagerius was already furious, but Chen Rui didn’t mean to stop talking.

“There’s 1 more thing I’m curious about, why did the sir general appear so coincidentally when Trinis failed the duel and faced the death threat?”

“I can explain that.” Gueroas began, “I have been in the Golden Estate for some time now. Since I’ve comprehended about power recently, I want to go back to the Dragon Valley training. Elder Stanwell will be my replacement. Fagerius came with Elder Stanwell this time, specifically for some handover work. However, Fagerius’ suddenly sensed something, so Stanwell and I came here with him… It should be that Trinis used some kind of dragon knight legion’s unique item to cry for help. Speaking of which, Trinis is only opportunistic without the slightest fighting spirit and the knight’s spirit. It is true that he is worthy of being dead. Fagerius, I don’t want to see this kind of person become a partner of dragons in the future, even if it is just a candidate. “

“Understood, Sir Gueroas.” Today’s events were obvious to all, Gueroas’s words were very fair. Fagerius could only suffer secretly.

“Looks like I’m overthinking, general. I apologize to you.” Chen Rui smiled lightly, but unfortunately, there was no ‘apology’ in his tone or expression.

Fagerius raised his brows, only to hear Chen Rui say again, “As for what general said… I’ll go to Yerodisha with you now to meet His Majesty!”

Fagerius showed an unexpected expression. In fact, he knew very well that what Trinis did was not entirely instigated by Garfield. There was also some influence of Lex the Great behind it, and the purpose was to target the Golden Estate.

The performance of Prince ‘Arthur’ had already aroused the fear of Lex the Great. In the battle for imperial power, it was not uncommon for father and son to fight each other. Although it had not evolved to the worst situation, Lex the Great’s intent to suppress the Golden Estate was beyond doubt.

It was truly amazing that ‘Arthur’ was able to manage the Golden Estate to such an extent. It was impossible not to see Lex the Great’s intentions. The Golden Estate was only extremely developed economically, but its military strength was extremely weak, which was far from being able to compete with the extent of the entire empire.

So, there was a faint sign of hostility when ‘Arthur’ desperately contributed to Trinis’ death today. In this case, he actually chose to go directly to the capital to meet Lex the Great, which really puzzled Fagerius.

“Your Highness…” The veiled Isabella said, “I’ll accompany you.”

“No.” Chen Rui shook his head, “I just want to make some things clear to His Majesty. As for safety, with General Fagerius there, there should be no problem. If we are fast enough, we should be able to arrive today, right, general?”

Going alone? Fagerius suddenly felt that he couldn’t see through this ‘mere’ prince with only Warrior strength. He took a deep breath and nodded, “We can arrive at night.”

“At night…” Chen Rui showed an implicit smile, “The time is just right.”
