Chapter 730: Smooth Transition - Part 1

Lukan

The transition from the previous ruler to the current ruler was going smoothly. The Lionax Kingdom's army gave up just like that when the Tang Empire came to take over the kingdom. Of course, there was no resistance because those who tried to resist had been eradicated.

Yes, six noble houses tried to resist as they were not willing to be under Tang Shaoyang's rule. One Archduke, two Dukes, and three Counts were conspiring together to have a siege battle. They were brave enough to fight back because they gained support from the civilians. The civilians willingly joined the army to fight.

There was one reason why these noble houses were willing to put up a fight. Because the news of King Emerson and the two Guardian's deaths were spread out like a wildfire. Within one night, everyone in the kingdom knew they had lost their King and Protector in a war. The Royal Family was left with nothing but a princess.

There was a significant benefit behind the fight. If the coalition managed to expel the invasion, the Archduke Family could marry their descendant to the princess and control the kingdom by themselves. That was a big prize awaited for them. The bigger prize, bigger risk, that was natural.

However, the result was disastrous. Yorutuba City, where the battle took place, was razed in a flame of war. It was a literal flame; yes, the city was gone from the map, leaving behind ashes and ruin for people to see the consequences against the Tang Empire. Not a single person survived from the city, and even children were not spared.

Of course, there was more that made the other noble houses scared of the Tang Empire. It was the thing that destroyed Yorutuba City. Since the noble houses openly challenged the Tang Empire, the other neutral noble houses sent their people to watch the war. If they had a chance, they might fight together.

But instead of seeing a chance to win against the Tang Empire, they were despaired after hearing the report about the creature that razed Yorutuba City. A gigantic dragon razed the city, not just one but three dragons. On top of that, they spotted Kirin, the Guardian Beast of Gigante Forest.

Tang Shaoyang transformed with [True Dragon], and along with Kalliyan, Aerelion, and Wrath, they destroyed Yorutuba City. Tang Shaoyang did not let his subordinates participate in the battle when it came to slaughter. It was enough for him to bear the guilt of killing the innocent. He would spare the children, women, and elders if it were the usual fight. However, this was different as he wanted to deter the remaining noble houses, so there was no need for the needless battle anymore.

Killing a few thousand to save the million, that was what he did. Sure enough, after he razed Yorutuba City, the whole Kingdom surrendered. The noble houses relinquished their private force and weapons to the Tang Empire while retaining their wealth. That was the promise from the Tang Empire.

There was no resistance after the Yorutuba City event, and today, The Emperor entered the Capital City of the Lionax Kingdom. The main road was filled with people. And yes, even though the Lionax Kingdom had just lost the war and a new ruler took over the kingdom, people were not afraid of the new ruler at all.

The atmosphere in the air was quite intense despite the crowd gathered, and they made no noise. Everyone was staring at the closed gate, and people could feel the vibration on the ground, the steps of the warhorses were coming closer, meaning the new ruler was near the city.

The twenty meters tall gate opened, making a loud noise. After the gate fully opened, music resounded in the air. The music tool had a similar sound to the trumpet, and the drum boomed in the air. Along with the music, people's eyes stared at the opened gate.

The people who wanted to see the new ruler gasped in shock as someone entered the city in a warhorse? The civilians were not sure if it was a warhorse or not. It stood like a horse, three meters tall with shiny greeny scales all over the body with golden mane from the head to the back. Its golden tail fluttered under the breeze, and the creature stepped into the city.

People were looking at the face of the warhorse, and it was not like a horse at all. There was no voice until someone gasped in shock. "It's Kirin! Guardian Beast Kirin!" Along with the shout, the quiet crowd buzzed. People were pointing at the Kirin, but their friends would fast enough to slap away the hand. It was rude pointing your finger at the highest rule.

Of course, Tang Shaoyang did not mind the noisy crowd and the music. He brushed Kalliyan's golden mane and muttered in a low voice. "It seems you stole my spotlight, Kalliyan."

"Should I leave, Master?" Kalliyan was aware that she was stealing her Master's spotlight. Today was supposed to be her Master's day, but her appearance ruined it. "It's fine. This is actually good, so the people will know that their new ruler is more amazing than their previous ruler."

"They probably already know about that, Master. You killed their previous ruler." Kalliyan replied with a small voice.

Following Tang Shaoyang and Kalliyan, Marshal Alton, Vice-Marshal Allan, and Vice-Marshal Ashley rode their warhorse. They did not wear helmets so that the civilians could see their faces. Quickly, the people recognized Ashley as she was a famous knight of the Lionax Kingdom. After that, one by one, people started to recognize Alton and Allan as well.

The tense atmosphere quickly broke into cheers as someone started to cheer and clapped their hands. Once a group started to cheer, the others followed. This was orchestrated by Archduke Semea and Headmaster Larry for their new Lord. They planted their people within the crowd and used them to melt the tense atmosphere.

Instead of welcoming the new ruler, this was as if people were welcoming the soldiers that just came back from the war.. The cheers reverberated through the city.
