The most difficult game in history has descended upon the world, and players can obtain a random talent as soon as they log in.
Jiang Hao starts with a Supreme-level talent: as long as it is ...
By the time Jiang Hao and his group arrived, a medium-sized warship was already anchored atop the main city wall.
Yun Xinghe's expression turned serious, and he whispered, "Be careful!"
Jiang Hao immediately perked up. He had sensed through his mustard seed long ago that there were two legendary-level experts on the city wall.
It's important to understand that the entire Human Empire, including the Human King, only has three legendary-level powerhouses. This means that Prince Yi's sudden arrival and the grand display of power are definitely not just for show.
It was unclear whether Meng Guang had heard it or not; aside from a slight hint of excitement, his face remained expressionless.
After disembarking from the warship, Jiang Hao noticed that among the group, the two legendary-level experts dressed in luxurious robes each had a white cloth wrapped around their right arm. This was likely a gesture of respect from the imperial high command due to the Prince's death in battle a few days prior.
However, Prince Yi was nowhere to be seen, which surprised Jiang Hao.
The two legendary experts had already begun to scrutinize Jiang Hao and his companions with expressionless faces. However, when they saw Jiang Hao, they showed a hint of surprise.
After disembarking from the warship, Meng Guang waited a moment with a respectful expression before bowing forward and saying, "Greetings, Lord Chen Mo, greetings, Lord Li Ji."
Jiang Hao then learned that the slightly plump, kind-faced old man was named Chen Mo, while the thin, somewhat sinister old man was named Li Ji.
Jiang Hao was uneasy, wondering what their talents and legendary skills were, and he always felt that they were targeting him.
Since they know that the city lord of Dingbei City didn't come, they probably won't go too far against us, right?
Jiang Hao was finally relieved.
It was unclear whether the other party was friend or foe, and since they remained silent, Jiang Hao and his companions also kept quiet. For a moment, the atmosphere became somewhat heavy.
A sharp clang startled Jiang Hao, making his heart leap. It turned out the city bells were ringing again.
Jiang Hao focused his mind and noticed that everyone in the main city, including the two legendary experts Chen Mo and Li Ji, bowed slightly, as if some important figure was about to arrive.
Jiang Hao thought to himself, "This Prince Yi is quite arrogant."
After the bell rang six times in succession, Jiang Hao sensed a massive energy fluctuation rapidly approaching from the distance of the realm. However, compared to the fluctuation caused by Aorong activating the God-Slaying Curse, that fluctuation was much slower and far less powerful.
Jiang Hao was puzzled. With these six chimes, the main city's bells had now rung a full nine times—a privilege reserved for the King!
But isn't this welcoming Prince Yi? Could it be that the Human King has arrived? However, that fluctuation is not a legendary one.
For a moment, Jiang Hao had no idea what had happened in the Human Empire.
After a long while, a golden dragon, a thousand meters long, hovered above the main city. The dragon's head, as large as a mountain, hung in mid-air, looking down at the group of humans on the city wall, its huge and slender body moving erratically in the air.
On the back of the dragon, a man dressed in black robes was sitting astride.
The overwhelming pressure emanating from the dragon made the guards on the city wall unsteady on their feet. Although Jiang Hao knew that the dragon before him was only of epic-level strength, his heart still pounded wildly. The pressure emanating from this dragon was far too strong, even more intense than the sense of danger he felt from Chen Mo and Li Ji together.
The black-robed man on his back, with the dragon as a backdrop, appeared even more powerful. However, Jiang Hao didn't sense anything about him that warranted his attention.
The mighty dragon swung its tail, unleashing its full power, while the weak Prince Yi remained unmoved, as if he didn't care about any power at all.
Could it be that Prince Yi is also a vain fool who cares too much about saving face?
The scene was somewhat strange.
Yun Xinghe exclaimed in a low voice, "Dragon Knight!"
Jiang Hao couldn't help but glance at him sideways.
Since the one riding the dragon high in the sky is not the human king, there is only one possibility: Prince Yi, like his father, is also a dragon knight!
Chen Mo and Li Ji clasped their hands and bowed, while Meng Guang and the guards on the city wall knelt on one knee. Everyone said in unison, "Greetings, Prince Yi; greetings, Prince Yu."
Prince Yu?
Was that giant dragon Prince Yu?
Jiang Hao was deeply shocked.
The most stunning prince in the dragon race, he awakens two dragon king bloodlines simultaneously, making him the undisputed strongest member of the dragon race besides the dragon king.
Old Wang treated it with utmost respect, and Yun Xinghe once praised it as the undisputed king of the next generation of dragons. How did it become Prince Yi's mount?
Jiang Hao turned his gaze back to Prince Yi. He was probably around 40 years old, dressed in a black robe with wide sleeves, looking dignified and solemn, perfectly befitting his noble status. A white cloth strip was tied around his right arm, and his fair face bore a hint of sorrow, as if the death of the Prince had caused him immense grief.
He seemed to be deep in thought about something, turning his head slightly to look to the right front, appearing somewhat absent-minded.
This was Jiang Hao's first time meeting Prince Yi. Long before Dingbei City was even built, Jiang Hao had already witnessed Prince Yi's prowess. He had instructed Mingdu to easily seize control of Jinling City from Prince He, forcing the city lord of Jinling City to surrender to him.
From then on, everything that happened on the Hao territory was under his control. It wasn't until Jiang Hao established Dingbei City that the city lord of Jinling City, with Jiang Hao's help, killed Mingdu, thus completely escaping his control over the Hao territory.
After the failed assassination attempt on Oron, Jiang Hao took the initiative to contact Prince Yi, proposing to do business, and now he has been summoned by him to resist the invasion of the jackal army.
It can be said that, except for one rare occasion, Jiang Hao was completely led by the nose by him.
Prince Yi seemed to regain consciousness. He turned his head and saw two legendary experts bowing slightly on the city wall, Meng Guang and a dozen guards kneeling, and nine other people he didn't recognize standing there. He said, "Get up. Who is the city lord of Dingbei City?"
As Prince Yi spoke, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Hao.
Yun Xinghe stepped forward and said, "Your Highness, our city lord did not come. However, he entrusted us to do our utmost to help the human race resist the jackal people."
Prince Yi, somewhat disheartened, said, "I heard that your city lord annihilated 70 million jackalmen in one fell swoop. Now, billions of monsters from the Deep Sea Clan are besieging Qingyong City. I wonder what your opinions are?"
Chen Mo and Li Ji, two legendary powerhouses, were startled and exchanged a glance.
Meng Guang showed no surprise whatsoever, as if he already knew.
Jiang Hao was surprised once again. The Deep Sea Clan was secretive in its actions, and they were still dozens of kilometers away from the main city. Moreover, Jiang Hao did not notice any human spies around him.
How did Prince Yi and Meng Guang find out?
Prince Yi looked at Jiang Hao and said, "How about we let our Dingbei City Lord make a move again?"
