Chapter 250: Yin Chi's Gamble
On the Ice Crystal Square in Dragon City stands a tall and majestic statue of an ancient dragon god.
The mighty dragon held the dragon ball tightly in one of its sturdy claws, while the other one stepped on a broken tree stump.
It implies that a long time ago, the ancient dragon god saved all the people of the dragon clan from the hands of the giant wood demon.
The Dragon Ball appeared at that time, and until today, it has been silently guarding all the dragon people in Dragon City in the endless cold.
The people of the dragon clan unanimously believe that dragon balls symbolize life and hope.
As long as this bead exists, the dragon clan can continue.
Anyone recognized by Dragon Ball is their leader.
No matter what unscrupulous things this person has done before, they can be wiped out the moment the Dragon Ball recognizes him as its master.
Under the ancient dragon statue, the current leader Sylph led everyone to offer sacrifices and worship.
This is one of the important parts before Dragon Ball appears.
It was also Sylph's resignation ceremony.
"You're just pretending. You're not a leader recognized by the Dragon Balls. Isn't the resignation ceremony a bit redundant?"
Reid's guard, Dragon General Borgo, seemed a little impatient and spoke rudely.
Several other rebel dragon generals were also not idle and verbally provoked Sylph one after another.
"Since you are just a verbal leader, why don't you just verbally resign? Don't waste time."
"It's better to bring out the Dragon Ball quickly. Where's that old guy Shuriel?"
"You're just stalling for time, aren't you?"
The rebels' complaints became more and more frequent, and Beatrix could no longer bear it and began to add fuel to the fire.
“Sylph doesn’t dare to bring out the Dragon Ball.
After all, all the magic power of the Dragon Ball had been devoured by her, and the Dragon Ball itself had become waste.
If she takes out the dragon ball, wouldn't her identity as a criminal be confirmed?"
Following the instigation of the leaders, more and more people from the rebel army joined the war of words.
They were united in their target, pointing it directly at Sylph.
The purpose was to make Sylph publicly admit the fact that the dragon balls were exhausted.
The person involved, Sylph, didn't seem to care about the verbal battles of these sinister people.
She bowed slightly and recited silently in her heart.
"I'm sorry, Master Hatti, Fufu failed to complete the task you assigned to her."
"In the past thousand years, many members of the tribe have died because of Fu Fu's incompetence."
"Even the object of our faith, the Dragon Ball, was not protected by Fu Fu."
"Fu Fu is not a good leader and has failed to fulfill her responsibilities. Today, under the witness of Lord Dragon God, I will step down."
"The responsibility for the depletion of the Dragon Balls also falls on Fufu alone."
When Sylph straightened up, she had turned back into an ordinary dragon citizen and no longer had the title of leader.
At this moment, she seemed to have regained her freedom, but in fact she fell into another abyss.
"Sylph, it's almost time to bring out the Dragon Ball, right?"
Reid waited until Sylph's resignation ceremony was over before he spoke for the first time.
It seems that he is the one who knows the rules best among the rebels.
In fact, Red was not in a hurry at all.
He thought from Sylph's perspective and couldn't find any way out of the situation.
The depletion of the Dragon Ball's magic power is a dead end that cannot be solved.
Even if Sylph was a genius among geniuses in combat and really defeated all the rebels single-handedly, she could not escape the fate of becoming a sinner.
"You and I both know that the Dragon Balls are running out. There's no need to hide it anymore."
"It doesn't matter if the Dragon Ball is gone. As long as you are willing to submit to me, I can promise you not to start a war or kill anyone."
"The position of leader can also be occupied by our Red and Silver Twin Dragon Kings."
Red spoke loudly, and everyone in the square could hear it clearly.
Sylph knew that Red did this on purpose, not for negotiation.
But he was simply teasing himself.
She could see that Red had a lewd expression on his face when he spoke just now.
Reed's words, as well as those of other rebels, were clearly heard by ordinary people.
Slowly, some civilians began to waver.
"Why do they always say that the dragon balls are running out? Can that be true?"
"I heard that the Red Dragon King said something similar when he was preparing to attack the city a year ago."
"If the magic power of the Dragon Ball is really devoured by Lady Sylph, won't we lose the object of our faith?"
In addition to those who gradually began to side with the Red Dragon King, there were also many rational people speaking for Sylph.
They were all filled with righteous indignation and disdained the arguments of the fence-sitters.
"Lady Sylph is so young, but she has been busy for a thousand years for the safety of us civilians. How could she be the one who swallowed the dragon ball?"
"Without Lady Sylph, I would have died in the hands of the brutal rebels. I will always support Lady Sylph!"
"Lady Sylph, we believe you!"
For a moment, the square was in chaos.
The more Beatrix listened, the more anxious she became.
Because there are obviously many more people who support Sylph than those who slander her.
She, Beatrix, dressed up to attend the Dragon God Festival today, not to see how popular Sylph is among the people.
She came to laugh at the joke, to laugh at the joke of Silver Dragon King Sylph.
"Master Reid, don't wait any longer, let's just get started. That bitch is definitely no match for us."
The dragon guard Borgo on the other side also looked eager to try.
"Master Reid, why don't we just beat her into submission?"
Reid waved his hand, signaling his men not to be impatient.
He knew very well that Sylph could not be defeated.
That woman will only get braver as the fight goes on.
In order to defeat her, you must use the psychological tactic of "being deserted by friends and relatives".
Letting Sylph be abandoned by her own people is a good choice.
And what Red said just now was just a means to stir up public anger.
"We have waited for a thousand years. We can wait a little longer. Once the Dragon Ball appears, Sylph's image will naturally collapse."
Seeing Reed's confident victory, Sylph sneered, "Reed, are you really so sure that you have won?"
Reid became interested after hearing this, "Why, do you want to bet with me?
Under the witness of the Ancient Dragon God."
Sylph stared at Reid, "How do we bet?"
The corners of Red's mouth turned up, and he couldn't help wanting to laugh.
"Let's bet on whether the dragon ball has run out of magic power.
If the Dragon Balls really run dry and become ineffective, you, Sylph, will have to become my slave.
How about it, do you dare, Silver Dragon King?"
