Chapter 1310 The World Is Already Different
On the city wall, the atmosphere that had been boiling with excitement because of the victory suddenly turned to freezing point.
Instead, there was a suffocating silence, and gasps of shock...
The body of the Flame Dragon Mage Captain lay silently in a pool of blood, his eyes wide open, frozen in the horror and disbelief of his dying moments. The wound on his head, pierced by the sword pellet, still oozed a mixture of red and white liquid, which trickled down his forehead, leaving a glaring stain in the pool of blood—a truly horrifying scene.
General Jinlong's breathing suddenly became heavy, and his fists clenched involuntarily: "Duke Nightsong, you..."
Not only were the dragon soldiers dumbfounded, but Li Shuying and the others also stared blankly at Ye Ge.
In her memory, Lord Ye Ge had always been gentle, even too kind, unlike the other demonized members of the Ye family, such as Lord Ye Yulong and Lord Ye Qingxin, who were so ruthless and vicious...
However, today...
"call......"
Ye Ge gently blew on the fingertip that had just released the sword pellet, her tone calm and composed: "I killed him, you shouldn't have any objections, right?"
General Jinlong paused for a moment, then frowned slightly: "He disregarded military discipline and deserves punishment. But..."
"But he is a member of your dragon clan, so it should be your dragon clan that punishes him, right?" Ye Ge knew what he wanted to say without even listening.
General Jinlong: "..."
“That’s because you’re still viewing me through the lens of ‘Duke Nightsong’.” Nightsong glanced at him indifferently. “General Golden Dragon, you seem to have forgotten who I am now.”
General Jinlong's eyelids twitched immediately.
"I am now the executive officer of the Allied Forces of the Myriad Races. Not to mention a mere mage captain from your dragon race, even you, the great general, or even His Majesty the Dragon King, must obtain my approval for any major operation."
Ye Ge remained expressionless: "You should know everything he said and did on the city wall just now, how he provoked me. If a mere squad leader of your dragon race can arbitrarily point fingers and criticize my decisions, how can this Alliance of Ten Thousand Races be considered respectable?"
"..."
General Jinlong had nothing to say and remained silent.
"Essentially, this is because your dragon army... oh no, it shouldn't just be you. I think the entire alliance of all races hasn't had time to change their mindset yet. They're still using the old way of thinking to view me and the human race."
"Tsk, that's normal. After all, I was only a Saint Realm Transcendent not long ago, and your Dragon Clan has been powerful and glorious for tens of millions of years, so you're not used to obeying the orders of a human."
Ye Ge's gaze swept over the corpse on the ground, and he sighed with some regret: "Alas... it is indeed very difficult to break old ideas... unless one can truly experience a deeply memorable pain, one can truly wake up and realize that the world has changed."
"However, with powerful enemies surrounding us on this battlefield of myriad races, and our alliance facing formidable foe, I have no time to let those less intelligent people slowly feel the pain. Therefore, survival of the fittest, sending those less intelligent people to their deaths directly, without hindering the army, is actually more efficient."
Ye Ge glanced at the other dragon soldiers on the city wall out of the corner of his eye, his voice as cold as ice: "It will be the same from now on."
"..."
The dragon warriors shuddered at these words, their faces turning extremely unnatural. Many of them had shown disdain or skepticism when Ye Ge charged towards the insect swarm, and had even whispered among themselves. Now, they either instinctively lowered their heads or hurriedly looked away, none daring to meet Ye Ge's gaze.
"..."
General Jinlong finally raised his hand, clasped his hands, and said in a deep voice, "Duke Yege... no, Administrator Yege is absolutely right. On behalf of those dragon soldiers who broke the rules, I apologize for what happened just now. I will definitely report to His Majesty and restore military discipline."
Upon hearing this, Ye Ge smiled faintly.
"Heh, restoring military discipline, huh...?"
He slowly approached General Jinlong.
"Actually, that sword strike should have landed on your head just now."
"!"
General Jinlong's expression immediately changed.
what! ?
He looked up and met Ye Ge's gaze.
As the third strongest being in the Eastern Dragon Kingdom, General Golden Dragon is at the ninth stage of the Soul Emperor realm. His combat power is second only to Dragon King Ao Sheng and Thunder General Cang Ting, and he has always been very confident in his strength.
However, at this moment, facing this human boy who was only at the fifth level of the Soul Emperor Realm, staring into those eyes as calm as a deep pool, he found that he had a strong intuition inexplicably: he was not joking, nor was he boasting. If he really wanted to kill him, he might really be able to kill him!
General Jinlong found it unbelievable.
He actually sensed an indescribable sense of oppression from the human boy in front of him, whose extraordinary level was even lower than his own!
He had only ever felt this way before with His Majesty Ao Shenglong!
"Is it that your dragon soldiers are ignorant of the rules and truly disregard military discipline, or... is someone behind the scenes instructing you to test my bottom line as an administrator?"
Ye Ge's eyes were sharp, and his voice was so low that only the two of them could hear him.
General Jinlong's heart skipped a beat.
“I don’t believe that your dragon clan’s military discipline is really that lax. If no one instructed him, I don’t believe that a mage squad leader would be so bold as to overstep his authority, bypass the general who was right next to him, and issue orders without authorization.” Night Song said, “Besides, you didn’t stop him when he was about to issue the order, right?”
"..."
Unbeknownst to General Jinlong, cold sweat broke out on his back.
I never expected him to see through it...
But Jinlong, as expected of a veteran of the dragon clan, remained calm and composed even in this situation.
"Was he acting on someone's orders...?" Ye Ge gave him a deep look: "Or is it that you, as a general, simply lack authority?"
"..."
General Jinlong calmly said, "Lord Yege, you have misunderstood. Just now, I was only thinking about how to deal with the Zerg, so I did not notice and failed to stop that foolish fellow in time... I sincerely apologize to you and will never do anything like this again."
"That would be best." Night Song: "By the way, is there any food? You must be providing meals for allies who have come all this way to help, right?"
He had already slept in bed all day, and after waking up, he rushed to help. He hadn't eaten all day.
"..." General Jinlong was somewhat taken aback by his unconventional language: "...Of course."
Ye Ge smiled and turned to leave. Gao Shenxue, Xia Xiyao, Jiang Xiaoming, Li Shuying, and the others immediately followed.
The way the dragon soldiers on the city wall looked at Ye Ge was completely different from when they first arrived. Every one of them looked at Ye Ge with deep fear and apprehension.
They spontaneously made way for Ye Ge and his group as they walked past calmly.
General Jinlong's expression was complicated, his gaze following the receding figure with deep intensity.
What an...unfathomable human being...
