Chapter 1804 Free

I bring you death.

Those were the last words that the Dragon Emperor wanted to hear from the mouths of the White Tiger.

He stood still, unsure if he was stunned or simply lacking in all emotion. He thought what he felt now was the numbness that came with the understanding that everything was over and there was nothing he could do anymore to prevent what he had tried preventing for a long time

Another prophecy was going to be true, wasn't it?

A tinge of pain came and went away as he remembered his wife who tried her best to stop this very thing from happening. In the end, it seemed all they had done was just delay the inevitable.

Maybe it wasn't even that. Maybe it was all just meant to happen this way, and they were all pawns to fate, unable to change what the future held for them.

The Emperor's body slacked as he saw the beasts around Pearl started to fly toward them, charging at them with the intent to kill.

He saw the opposing army begin fighting once again. His heart was simply not in it.

What else did he even have to care about? The prophecy was here and it was true.

Above your realm shall they proclaim your end. A King, A son of a King, and a Tiger pure White.

He turned to look at Alex. The King.

He looked at Zhou Linfan. The Son of a King.

And then he looked at Pearl. A Tiger with pure white fur.

He then looked down at the city that was the heart of his empire. Above his own realm.

"Is this really it?" the Dragon Emperor thought. "Am I destined to die like this? Do I have no chance of survival?"

A part of him refused to believe it. A part of him, that was forged by his wife's love for him told him to fight this thought, but truth overcame all feelings for him at the moment.

No thought remained but the single one. The words of his prophecy went through his mind over and over and over and over as if trying to haunt him with it anew.

A King. Death. A Son. Pure White. Proclaim. Your realm. A Tiger. The words of his prophecies rang loudly like an alarm in his head, and he couldn't help but hear it all as clearly as he had the first time all those years ago.

He regained his focus and saw the beasts and the men attacking his group of soldiers at once. Long Huogong was giving orders, but many of the soldiers seemed hesitant to fight at all.

They were not sure whose side they were supposed to be fighting.

The Dragon Emperor took a deep breath.

"Soldiers!" he shouted, immediately catching the ears of every single soldier on the battlefield and outside.

Many of the soldiers fought while lending an ear to him.

"I will not tell you who to choose today. Make the choice of your own accord," the Dragon Emperor said. "But know this, for the past 7 millennia, I have been your sole Emperor. The Azure Dragon has never done anything for you, he has never even known that you existed."

"It was I who ruled this empire. It was I who brought peace and prosperity into this empire. I may have done many things in the past, but I have never acted against the greater good of the empire."

"So when you choose me, choose to know that it is I who holds your best interest at heart," the Dragon Emperor said. "And if you don't choose me, and choose the enemy. Choose them knowing who you make an enemy of."

The Dragon Emperor's aura exploded as might beyond what any of the soldiers had ever sensed from a mortal making their minds shudder. Many of them reflexively fell back into rank and continued fighting for the Emperor.

A few still defected, but the number was far less than it would've been had the Emperor not spoken at all.

The Emperor looked at the armies. His number was now less than the enemies after the beasts were mixed into the battlefield. But he saw no problem in that.

On average, his soldiers were much stronger than the average soldier in the enemy's army. So, he could let them fight without much worry.

"Soldiers, break array and join the battle," the Emperor ordered and the many soldiers that were aiding their leaders commanded.

"Your Majesty," Long Huogang tried to protest, but the Dragon Emperor cut him off.

"Prepare everyone for battle," the Emperor said.

Long Huogang looked back at the 400 or so strong saints that were staying in an array, constantly empowering the Emperor.

"Everyone?" he asked.

The Emperor nodded. "Everyone!" he said and went into battle.
