Chapter 747: The Dai Kingdom in Panic (First update, requesting everything)

During this period, Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power had once again grown to a certain extent; in this aspect, he was already not much worse than Ning Bizhen, and it was likely that before long, he would catch up.

In the sky, the density of flying Spirit Beasts was naturally not as high as in dense forests or grasslands, but it was not too low either; through the feedback of his Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng could see hundreds of points of light.

The two Demon King-level dragons were extremely fast; in the time of just one or two breaths, the first batch of Spirit Beasts left the range of his Mental Power sensing, and thus the second batch of Spirit Beasts arrived.

As soon as these flying Spirit Beasts discovered the two Demon King-level dragons, they were all given a great fright and retreated in succession.

Even though the two dragons had restrained their Dragon Might, just seeing their abnormally massive bodies was enough for the flying Spirit Beasts to feel their terror; this was definitely a terrifying existence they could not afford to provoke.

Consequently, these flying Spirit Beasts either chose to detour or turned and fled in a panic, and the more timid flying Spirit Beasts were even scared into falling from the sky.

Even a Demon Saint-level Spirit Beast would likely have to temporarily avoid their Keen Edge; besides weighing whether they could defeat the two Demon King-level dragons pulling the carriage, they would also have to face their master.

Since the two dragons pulling the carriage were already this strong, the master of the carriage went without saying; they were definitely an existence not to be trifled with.

Under these circumstances, there had never been a single wild Spirit Beast that dared to take the initiative to attack; it could be completely described as calm and tranquil.

In less than two hours, the carriage flew out of the borders of the Langya Kingdom and turned to enter the territory of the Dai Kingdom.

This was also Li Zhangsheng's first time going abroad, and he could not help but be full of curiosity about other countries, even the small Dai Kingdom was no exception.

Li Zhangsheng had once seen many introductions to the Dai Kingdom in books; the Dai Kingdom only had the territory of one province, but most of its land was coastal, and the only part that bordered the Langya Kingdom could be said to be a peninsula.

In addition to this one province, the Dai Kingdom also had many islands; the profits from fish and salt and port trade naturally became the largest source of income for the Dai Kingdom's treasury. Plus, the Dai King sympathized with the common people and implemented many benevolent policies, so land annexation was not serious; therefore, although the Dai Kingdom was small, compared to the Langya Kingdom, which had several times the land area, the people of the Dai Kingdom lived quite prosperously.

Unfortunately, heaven has unpredictable winds; ever since the news spread that a second Abyss Gate was about to "settle" in the Dai Kingdom, the Dai Kingdom became filled with panic. Many large factions and nobles did not look favorably upon the future of the Dai Kingdom, believing that with the Dai Kingdom's national strength, it was fundamentally impossible to resist the invasion of two Abyss Gates simultaneously.

If it were only grassroots or mid-level combat power, it would be fine; as long as one was willing to spend resources, one could recruit a large number of personnel. But in this world where supernatural powers run rampant, the key that determines the direction of the war is often top-tier combat power.

The top-tier combat power mentioned here is naturally the Emperor Rank; Pseudo-King and Sixth-Rank Experts can only be considered high-level combat power.

As previously mentioned, the Dai Kingdom has one and only one Emperor Rank, but they are unable to be in two places at once and can only block one Abyss Gate.

Not only that, this Emperor Rank is also very elderly, and their lifespan is about to come to an end.

If there are no accidents, it is feared that in a few years, the country of the Dai Kingdom will disappear into the dust of history.

This is also the main reason why many nobles do not look favorably upon the Dai Kingdom; the vast majority of factions have long prepared a way out, and many have even secretly moved out of the Dai Kingdom. For example, Fang Qing, who was killed by Li Zhangsheng four or five months ago, wanted to secretly move his family to the Langya Kingdom.

In such a tiny country as the Dai Kingdom, Pseudo-Kings can be said to be few and far between. The Fang family represented by Fang Qing can be said to be a major faction in the Dai Kingdom, definitely ranking among the top ten factions in the Dai Kingdom.

Unfortunately, Fang Qing happened to defect to Dou Yuanbin, and as a result, became the first Pseudo-King to die at the hands of Li Zhangsheng.

If even a large faction like the Fang family had to move their entire clan, it goes without saying for other factions.

In addition, during the process of moving, many factions acted like wandering bandits; harboring the intention of making one last score, they ruthlessly plundered the local people before making off.

In less than a short year, the Dai Kingdom completely changed its appearance; not only was the whole country filled with panic, but every day local factions left the Dai Kingdom, and many people with connections chose to flee the Dai Kingdom with their families.

Under internal and external troubles, the national strength of the entire Dai Kingdom can be said to have regressed rather than advanced. As more and more factions flee the Dai Kingdom, the first Abyss Gate, which was originally suppressed as solid as a rock, has become precarious again.

If this continues, before the second Abyss Gate appears, if the Dai Kingdom still cannot invite powerful aid, it is feared that the time of the country's demise will be at hand.

Taking a step back, even if an outside Emperor Rank is invited, the other party is an outsider after all and cannot stay in the Dai Kingdom forever; at most, they can only quench a temporary thirst.

Unless an outside Emperor Rank becomes a part of the Dai Kingdom, the Dai Kingdom will still be unable to avoid the outcome of destruction.

Judging from the situation, wanting to make an outside Emperor Rank join the precarious Dai Kingdom requires using substantial benefits to move the outside Emperor Rank, but this is easier said than done.

This is the current status of the Dai Kingdom!

However, the Dai Kingdom has not yet collapsed; even though people are panicked and the crime rate is rising straight up, it has always maintained a certain rule of law, not enough to let the entire country fall into chaos.

Consequently, when the two Demon King-level dragons pulling the carriage entered the territory of the Dai Kingdom, a harsh alarm sounded immediately in the border fortress of the Dai Kingdom.

The next moment, more than a dozen figures flew out from the fortress; when they saw the massive dragon bodies of the two dragons, every one of them had their expressions change drastically.

They were mid-to-high-level figures in the fortress, at least at the level of a Fourth-rank Demon Tamer, so their vision was naturally not bad; even though they were still a bit far away, they immediately judged the approximate size of the two dragons.

"Demon King-level dragons!"

The only Sixth-Rank Expert present was the commander-in-chief of the fortress. After discovering the two Demon King-level dragons, his face was filled with bitterness, and he cursed his own bad luck in his heart.

A dragon of such size had definitely reached the Demon King level; he believed his judgment very much because he had once seen a Demon King-level blue dragon.

But as the distance closed, the look of shock on this Sixth-Rank Expert's face became more and more obvious, simply because compared to the Demon King-level blue dragon he had seen before, the size of these two Demon King-level dragons was clearly more shocking.

Especially that black dragon, its body length exceeded sixty meters; it was truly a behemoth, making the red dragon to the side look much more petite.

This was definitely an existence that could not be resisted!

Even though they hadn't fought, the Sixth-Rank Expert's intuition told him that he was afraid he couldn't beat even one of them even if he tried his best.

Compared to the Sixth-Rank Expert who could barely remain calm, the performance of those Fourth-rank Demon Tamers was very unsightly.

Many people started to back out on the spot, and some even secretly retreated a short distance, ready to run away at any time.
