466 The Biggest Cinematic Experience

"What an utter load of horse shit! I expected them to come up with their own bullshit justification for invading our empire, but it still infuriates me to hear it! They must think we are stupid!" a lord cussed furiously.

However, he wasn't the only one outraged by Vaan's words. In fact, everyone was fuming with rage.

If the Holy Knight Empire executed its own strategist and gave its emperor's head to the enemy, the Holy Knight Empire would truly be at the Kingdom of Black Rose's mercy and the mercy of every other rivaling country like the Great Ratholos Empire.

"Don't listen to that brazen man, Your Imperial Majesty! There's no way Marquis Salazar is one of the Devil's Contractors! There's also no way he would think we are stupid enough to agree with such outrageous conditions! He is just trying to confuse and make us doubt ourselves before the battle!"

"Who the hell do you think I am? Don't you think I am aware of that?! Even if Marquis Salazar was a Devil's Contractor, do you think this emperor will offer up his own head?!"

Following Emperor Renardier's furious roar, the lords and nobles' heated, anxious words died into silence. They were startled into calming down as if they had been splashed by cold water.

"There will be no surrendering today, nor is there a need to! Today, you will all die!" Emperor Renardier declared coldly.

They had to slaughter everyone from the Kingdom of Black Rose to ensure their lies became the truth. After all, no one would be able to refute their claims if they were all dead.

And the other countries wouldn't be able to say anything either because the Kingdom of Black Rose's witch army was found on the Holy Knight Empire's soil, along with multiple burned cities.

Unfortunately, Emperor Renardier did not know Vaan had been collecting evidence of the Holy Knight Empire's wrongdoings since the start of the war.

"Does Emperor Renardier speak for everyone else from the Holy Knight Empire?"

"His Imperial Majesty is the emperor of our great empire; his will is the empire's will!"

Shortly after Vaan received the answers from the Holy Knight Empire's lords, nobles, soldiers, and holy knights, basically everyone on the rocky mountains in the distance, he no longer delayed his judgment.

"Your answers have been heard," Vaan acknowledged.

"The Holy Knight Empire has chosen to protect and side with a traitor of humanity! Therefore, I, Vaan Raphna, as a representative of the Kingdom of Black Rose, defender of the north, will declare the Holy Knight Empire has forsaken humanity and sided with the demons of Gehenna!"

"For that, the Kingdom of Black Rose shall purge all traitors from the Holy Knight Empire! Any resistance will be met with deadly force. Anyone defending them will be considered in leagues with the demons of Gehenna!" Vaan loudly declared.

In a few words, he made the Holy Knight Empire the enemy of Pangea. At the same time, he warned other countries spying in the dark to think twice before deciding to assist the Holy Knight Empire.

He had chosen that exact day to reveal Ulrich Salazar's identity in order to ensure they could invade the Holy Knight Empire without other countries interfering.

At the same time, Ulrich Salazar wouldn't be given the time to flee into hiding.

"You've gone too far with your accusations! Do you honestly believe anyone would fall for your bullshit?! You have no proof!"

"You want proof? Look up at the sky!"

Following the outbursts of the imperial people, Vaan directed their attention upward. At the same time, he signaled Zodreg to bring out the big holographic screen.

Soon, a giant floating blue crystal appeared; it lit up with colorful lights and projected its recordings with clear audio to be heard, playing from the first scene.

In that moment, the first and biggest cinematic experience was known to the world.

"Destroy it! We mustn't let them continue!" Emperor Renardier roared with bloodshot eyes, fearing the scenes to follow.

Although the wizards fired their spells, a powerful magic barrier protected the massive holographic recording.

Seeing that, Emperor Renardier's expression turned grim.

At the same time, a seed of doubt regarding Ulrich Salazar sprouted in his heart. He also had many questions on his mind. But, unfortunately, it wasn't an opportune time to investigate or have his questions answered. It was no longer a matter of who was right and wrong but a matter of survival.

They had to destroy all witnesses and enemies. Otherwise, the empire would be done for!

"All units, attack!" Emperor Renardier ordered gloomily.

They had prepared a solid defensive strategy on the rocky mountains. But thanks to the enemy's means, they were forced to be on the offensive instead, rendering their preparations useless.

"Impatient, are we? Then..." Vaan chuckled as he raised his hand and swung down, signaling his side to attack. "The dragon unit can take the lead."

Roar—!!!

After Zodreg and the others received their Supreme Leader's permission, several earth-shaking, sky-rending dragon roars resounded.

In that instant, whether it was the newly-emerged imperial armies that appeared on the west, east, and rear of Vaan's army or the imperial army charging down from the rocky mountains at the front, everyone froze in their tracks and glanced up without exception.

"D-Dragons...! True Dragons!! They have True Dragons!!! Arghhh!!!"

Following countless imperial soldiers' cries of shock and disbelief, blazing fire breaths descended upon them like hellfire from above.

Hundreds of imperial soldiers were wiped out on the spot, but the dragons’ fire breaths didn't just stop on the first impact. The fire breaths formed long blazing trails as Zodreg and the others flew over the imperial armies, causing their kill count to soar quickly into the tens of thousands.

Imperial soldiers, holy knights, lords, and nobles...

It didn't matter who they were; their strength and equipment quality meant nothing in front of the might of Rank 5 fire dragon breaths.

"H-How... How can this be...?! Why are the dragons here?! They were supposed to be reclusive!"

"Why... Why did things turn out like this? Where did it all go wrong?

...From the start?"

Whether it was Ulrich Salazar or Emperor Renardier, both stood rooted on the spot at the top of the rocky mountain cliff, stupefied with eyes of sheer disbelief.
