The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Chapter 1017: Chapter 1014: Coercion and Bribery Chapter 1017: Chapter 1014: Coercion and Bribery The wilderness camp had already been taken over by Li Si Te (Liszt) with a firm hand.

At this moment, he was staring at Piero as he interrogated, “Duke Pierrot, I believe you owe me an explanation. I came here at your invitation to oversee the distribution of the Aluminum Dragon, only to find myself the target of a long-planned assassination. If I weren’t well-prepared, I might not have been able to leave here alive today.”

“Your Majesty, I beg you to believe me, the assassination has nothing to do with me, the Grey Iron Family, or the Grey Iron Duchy. I truly wanted to invite Your Majesty to oversee the Dragon Riding distribution… All of this must be the work of Pilaf colluding with assassins, it must be, and the Eagle Royal Family is certainly fanning the flames behind the scenes!”

The more Piero spoke, the more nervous he became, “It must be so, the Eagle Royal Family is behind Pilaf, and all of this, including the Aluminum Dragon, is a conspiracy of the Eagle Royal Family. Adonis Moonlight Silver is indeed cunning, taking advantage of my eagerness to revive the Grey Iron Family and thus luring Your Majesty here!”

Piero knew nothing about the Kushan Imperial, so he was unaware that the assassins were from the Kushan Imperial—the Archmage and the assassin were now unable to speak, and both Pilaf father and son were unconscious, leaving no one to tell Piero the truth.

Therefore, after Piero had filled in the blanks with his imagination, he was increasingly convinced that all this was backed by the Eagle Royal Family: “Your Majesty, Adonis must have used me, please believe me, I, Piero, have never thought of betraying Your Majesty!”

Liszt was noncommittal.

With a clench of his teeth, Piero said, “The assassination attempt has failed, and the Eagle Royal Family will surely react soon. When that time comes, not only will the Aluminum Dragon be out of reach, but the Grey Iron Duchy will also have reached its end… Your Majesty, please take in the Grey Iron Family, the Grey Iron Family is willing to follow you to develop in the Flame Kingdom!”
