The Rise of Dragon Temple - Chapter 203

After Frogua’s military had left, Joseph and Master King turned and strode towards the Dongfang Clan. At this very moment, the atmosphere in the main hall of the Dongfang Clan was odd and terrifying. All the warriors had left, and even the Dongfang Clan’s God of Wars were forced to leave for the battlefield.

Moreover, Dongfang Muyu and Zhuge Jiannan were also seriously injured. It was impossible for them to recover from their injuries in a short amount of time. They didn’t have the strength for another battle. It was also the same for Terrance. His acupoints were sealed and the injuries on his body were quite serious. Of course, his injuries were definitely much lighter than that of Dongfang Muyu and Zhuge Jiannan.

Moreover, he had been to the Dragon Pool with Sebastian before. Even at this moment, there was still a lot of energy left in his body that had not been absorbed. Therefore, when Terrance sat on the ground and leaned against the pillar, the injuries inside his body had begun to heal miraculously.

Other than being unable to move, there was nothing else to worry about. However, right now, Terrance didn’t care much about that, his eyes were now scarlet red.

“What does this mean?” he muttered in his heart. He initially planned to lead the military to the Outer Region’s battlefield himself, but now he was the one being left behind. The others had all left, and he was the only one left. The three elders went to the Outer Region’s battlefield, while Sebastian and the First Elder, went to stop the two powerful sects. He was the only one left…

“Please don’t let anything happen to you…” Terrance was very emotional. Whether it was the Four Great Elders of Frogua or the four old men who were about to fight in the Outer Region’s Battlefield, if something really happened to them, it would be a huge shock to the entire Frogua. To put it bluntly, all of this was caused by him. If something really happened, he would definitely feel guilty for the rest of his life.

“I’m not strong enough! I’m not strong enough!” Terrance clenched his fists and gritted his teeth. He had a ton of complicated emotions welling up in his heart, guilty, unwillingness, and powerlessness…

Concurrently Joseph came in from outside. Joseph walked in front, and Master King followed behind. When the two of them arrived, naturally, none of the people in the Dongfang Clan dared to stop them. After all, these two people were both at the peak Royal level.

However, even though Joseph walked into the hall, Terrance was still feeling guilty and tears were dripping down the corners of his eyes.

Joseph squatted down. After a moment of silence, he said, “Mr. Terrance, it’s not your fault. I know what you are thinking, but you don’t have to blame it on yourself. And those old men all support you, don’t they?”

After Joseph finished his words, Joseph’s gaze lit up. He stared at Joseph and murmured, “Lord Dawson, you are aware?”

Joseph nodded and fell silent.

The look in Terrance’s eyes was extremely complicated. He looked at Joseph with begging eyes. “Lord Dawson, I am aware that I’m going to say something pretty excessive, but I’m begging you. The four old men must return safely! They have contributed so much for Frogua and we couldn’t let them die. Please… Lord Dawson, I beg you, ask Dragon Temple to aid them, help them… please?”

As he spoke, tears started falling down in the corners of his eyes. Even if he could break free from Lu Wuji’s attack and release his acupoints, he could not go to the Outer Region’s battlefield. The reason was very simple, because… there was no one left in charge of Frogua, and he was the only one left. Frogua was really too weak this time, National Destiny was at its lowest and it really wasn’t enough for these people to pull it back up. Frogua’s young generation had a ton of God of War but they were lacking Divine Kings.

Therefore, in the past few years, as long as someone in the Frogua broke through to the Divine King level, he would be sent out to fend against the enemy. Only a few Divine King commanders were left to station at Frogua. The same goes for God of Wars, most of them were sent to Outer Region’s battlefield.

After Terrance finished speaking, Master King, who was standing behind Joseph, suddenly changed his expression and hurriedly said to him, “Mr. Terrance, don’t make things difficult for the Lord. The Dragon Temple has only been established for five years. Although the establishment is very formidable now, however, there are too few warriors. Moreover, the Dragon Temple can’t fight openly on the battlefield. You know the rules…”

Terrance took a deep breath and opened his mouth. He looked at Joseph apologetically and said, “I’m sorry, Lord Dawson… it’s me…”

“Fine!” Before Terrance could finish his words, Joseph interrupted him and nodded in agreement. Behind him, Master King’s expression changed drastically, but before he could speak, Joseph waved his hand and said, “Master King, you don’t have to say anything. I understand. But you all don’t have to keep worrying about it, it situation has turned so badly. The foreign alliance is not as strong as how it used to be and this time the table has turned…”

“Thank… thank you,” Terrance said gratefully to Joseph. Behind Joseph, Master King sighed deeply, shook his head, and did not say anything else.

“Well…” Joseph nodded Terrance, he then turned back and saw two military personal coming in. One of them was at the early stage of Divine King, he was Terrance’s adjutant.

“Greetings, Lord Dawson!” Terrance’s adjutant bowed to Joseph. From the moment Joseph returned three months ago from the Outer Region’s battlefield, basically, all of the top personnel of the Military were well aware of Joseph’s deeds. Everyone admired Joseph very much. He was a person who could be in charge of the military and be one the Marshal, but he refused such an offer.

“Well, you don’t have to be so polite. Take Mr. Terrance back and let him have a good rest. There will be a ton of trouble coming up…”Joseph said to Terrance’s adjutant.

The adjutant nodded. Then, he and the other God of War walked up to Terrance and helped him up.

Joseph turned his head and looked at the back of Terrance, his gaze was complicated. That day Terrance acted different from the Terrance he knew, he no longer sounded cheerful. Instead, he shouldered too many responsibilities and it suffocated him. He wanted to break the rules but he didn’t have the power to do so. In the end, the old men had to go and fend off the enemies themself and this will affect Terrance tremendously. If one of them couldn’t make it back alive then Terrance might be guilty of the rest of his life.

The next moment, Joseph took a deep breath, turned around, and walked to Dongfang Muyu and Zhuge Jiannan, who were sitting behind the main hall, seriously injured.

With the arrival of Joseph, the hearts of Dongfang Muyu and Zhuge Jiannan was filled with great fear. Especially Dongfang Muyu, he was about to tear up at this moment. That day he took all the troops over and he killed the Nongong Clan leader and demolished an entire clan. That three old men were ruthless, they took away all the remaining clan leaders and most of Dongfang Clan’s forces.

And now, Joseph came over, followed by a mysterious man with the power level of a Royal Level. He was even more ruthless! Two months ago, in the Outer Region battlefield, he slaughtered 88 strongholds of the Outer Region overnight. A few days ago, he slaughtered the two major clans and the four top influential families. Now, Joseph was here again.

“Lord… Lord Dawson, what… what can I do for you? We will try our best to satisfy you…” Dongfang Muyu was extremely scared and said with a pale face. He was really scared. In his current state, Joseph could slap him to death with one palm, and also kill Zhuge Jiannan.

Therefore, after seeing Dongfang Muyu beg for mercy, Zhuge Jiannan hurriedly said to Joseph with great respect, “Lord Dawson, the Zhuge family is willing to serve you…

After a moment of silence, Joseph squatted beside them and raised his head to look at the back of Terrance who was leaving. He said to the two clan leaders, “See that person? His name is Terrance. He is a little insidious. He could have broken through to the Royal level a long ago, but he has always suppressed it. He used to be so cheerful but now he couldn’t even smile. He… is my friend…”

When Dongfang Muyu and Zhuge Jiannan heard what Joseph said, their bodies suddenly trembled. The two of them also felt the chill emanating from Joseph’s body.

They opened their mouths and wanted to say something, but Joseph continued, “And you have seen the three old men who were just here moments earlier, haven’t you? All of them are in their 70s. They should be enjoying their old age. But now that Frogua is in trouble, they put on their armor again and fight for the Frogua.”

After saying this, Joseph looked back at Dongfang Muyu and Zhuge Jiannan and said, “Perhaps you two and the Nine Greatest Clans treating them as a fool. The only thing you care about is your own benefits and your inheritance had been going on for ages. From the kings era to this modern era, here you still stand. Perhaps you don’t care about your ancestors anymore…”

When Joseph said this, Dongfang Muyu and Zhuge Jiannan were both silent. They lowered their heads, and there was a hint of shame on their faces.

Indeed, with their status, no matter where they went, they would be the big shots on this planet. Therefore, there are some things that do not need to be said but everyone understands perfectly. For example, when these clans were first established, they had all fought for this country but as time goes by the newer generation had gotten accustomed to leisure life and they ignored the suffering of the poor.

After a while, Dongfang Muyu looked up at Joseph and said, “Lord Dawson, I’m willing to give up half of the Dongfang Family’s forces to aid the soldiers at the front line…”

After Dongfang Muyu finished speaking, Zhuge Jiannan looked back at him in disbelief. However, Dongfang Muyu did not look at him back. Zhuge Jiannan’s expression changed again. Meanwhile, he quickly said to Joseph, “Lord Dawson, our Zhuge family is also willing to give up half of our heritage…”

Joseph nodded and said, “Well, Mr. Zhuge, please send the troops to Mr. Terrance. I hope you won’t have any more tricks!”

Zhuge Jiannan trembled and said, “No, I don’t dare…”

Dongfang Muyu was stunned and asked Joseph, “Lord Dawson, what about me?”

Joseph shook his head and said, “You can continue to cultivate the juniors. This time, your Dongfang Family contributed the most. The Dongfang Clan leader, the fact that you took the initiative to say those words just now proves that you still have a trace of enthusiasm in your heart. You are not bad, and this time, most of your Dongfang Clan’s forces were being brought to the battlefield. If there is anything, you can come to me…”

Dongfang Muyu was taken aback. After struggling for a long time, he said to Joseph, “Thank… Thank you, Lord.”To be honest, after what happened that day, Dongfang Muyu’s heart was moved. It was shocking to see how the three old men and Terrance forces rushed to the battlefield.

Meanwhile, Zhuge Jiannan regretted when he heard Joseph’s words. The Zhuge family was good at scheming and analyzing gains and losses in all aspects. The Zhuge Clan had lost a great opportunity to surpass the Dongfang Clan. After hearing Dongfang Muyu and Joseph’s conversation, he finally understood that the clan was about to split. The Dongfang Clan had chosen to join the fight and Joseph’s promise was also Terrance and Sebastian’s promise!

“Did I make the wrong choice?” Zhuge Jiannan took a deep breath. He muttered in his heart, but he did not know if he had made the wrong choice.

Zhuge Jiannan lowered his head and remained silent. He wasn’t as afraid as the time when three of the clans were destroyed and the remaining clans were requisite. Dongfang Muyu was the strongest clan leader among the Nine Greatest Clans and he had made such a decision. Perhaps this time the Nine Greatest Clans really has no hope of surviving.
