Chapter 1175 A War.
1175 A War.
[Arcturus Blaze, do not blame me if your actions ruin the long-standing relationship between our races.]
Alaric spoke in an emotionless tone and before Arcturus could react to his words, the call was cut.
"What...?"
Arcturus couldn't believe what he heard.
Ignatia had a grave look on her face as well. This was exactly the scenario that she was picturing in her head and wanted to avoid.
"Was he trying to threaten me? Does he think that the Dragons are scared of going against Vampires!? Ruin the long-standing relationship!? Haah!? He wishes to ruin the relationship that was built through so many generations for a mere middle-level clan!? Has he lost in his mind!?"
Arcturus, on the other hand, was still acting violently and Ignatia, finally lost the last spec of patience that she had been holding on to,
"You are the one who has lost his mind, not him! Do you even realize what you just said to him!? You said you would raze the entire Clan to the ground, you mentioned killing all the members, one of them being that man's blood niece, right on his face and you still think he was wrong for choosing sides!?
Threatening to kill his family, you think anyone would take that without reacting, you think you would have taken it without showing any reaction!?
And for a 'mere middle-level' clan? Do you even realize what clan we are going against? That clan has one of the most monstrous talents Yrniel has ever seen, a talent that is supported by an equally monstrous being who can topple our entire continent with a single flick of her fingers.
This is what we are up against, who in their right mind would support you in this matter? Especially when everyone in the world knows that you are in the wrong.
You do not even have justice on your side!"
She spoke, mentioning the graveness of the issue. If Vyriana decided to take action, they wouldn't even have a place to run away! They were in such a tight pickle that they could lose their head at any moment, caution was necessary, all their future plans and their consequences needed to be calculated hundreds of times before finally turning them into action.
However,
"I have been ignoring this for a long time now, yet time and time again, you are overstepping your boundaries,"
Arcturus spoke up as he stared at his wife with a cold look on his face.
"What...?" Ignatia's expression changed.
"Ignatia Blaze, you have been trying to pick faults with whatever actions I make without even trying to
understand the intentions behind them. You fear Lady Vyriana so much that you would rather cripple your own movements than see past a simple truth.
If Lady Vyriana wished to interfere, we wouldn't be having this conversation here, she would have killed us all already.
For you to miss this and regularly find faults in my actions, even going as far as raising your voice at me, the Dragon Lord,
I, Arcturus Blade, deem that you need to face the consequences of your actions."
"Y-You..." Arcturus's words were cold and seeing his expression, Ignatia instantly understood what he was trying to say and couldn't believe it.
In her long life, she had never once expected that there would be a day when she would face a situation like this, a situation where her own husband's subordinates had now surrounded her, ready to get her the moment her husband ordered.
Ignatia was so shocked that she didn't even think of resisting,
"Capture her."
Arcturus ordered, 15 Divine Stage Cultivators quickly surround Ignatia before her arms, legs, and neck were chained using the Shackles of Eternity, a 12 Star Artifact that is used to limit a Divine Stage Cultivator's Law, significantly decreasing her powers to the point where resisting a few Saints would prove to be a difficult task even for a strong cultivator like Ignatia.
"Normally, you should be executed for questioning the Dragon Lord's decisions, however, since you are my wife and the person I respect, I would let go of this matter by simply imprisoning you inside Infernal Void Prison for the next 100 years.
I believe you require some self-reflection and 100 years would be the perfect duration for that.
I will be looking forward to your return as a better, stronger person, Ignatia."
The Dragon Lord spoke in a calm voice.
"..."
This time, however, Ignatia, who was chained, didn't say even a single word. She was simply too shocked to react to anything and neither was she strong enough to actually resist all these beings who had surrounded her, especially her husband.
Arcturus was strong, absurdly strong. There was no way someone like Ignatia could go against him. The Dragon Lord's wife simply accepted her fate, she was then taken away to the Infernal Void Prison, a Prison located deep inside the Dragon Lord's mansion and guarded by 10 Divine Stage Cultivators.

With Ignatia gone, Arcturus turned towards his other servants, then, a cold smile appeared on his face, and, "With that done, let us focus on the real issue.
The ExceedoGenesis wants War, don't they?
Then War is what they shall get.
The little victories they have got while fighting against some weak clans have gotten into their heads, it is time we show them what the real world is like.
Release an official Statement,"
Arcturus ordered and soon, an official statement was released from the Dragon Continent as well, and unlike the long statement that came from the ExceedoGenesis, the Dragon's reply was short.
'Anyone who allies or associates themselves with ExceedoGenesis will be seen as our Enemies.'
The Dragon Lord did not bother giving any explanation regarding the matter. He didn't say what he wanted out of this, he didn't offer any middle ground, he didn't provide any option to stop the war,
The meaning behind his short reply was simple, n)-o(.V(.e/)l.)b--I/-n
From now on,
It was either the ExceedoGenesis,
Or the Dragon Continent.
