Chapter 1628: Chapter 867: The Empire’s Dire News

King Roosevelt’s plan was extremely ruthless.

Even when looking throughout all of human history, few emperors have devised such a grand and prolonged plan.

Given the Drama Master’s sixty-year lifespan, he almost spanned his entire life, intending to complete this war in the final year of his life.

The king looked at the Duke of Storm City, the master of the kingdom who rarely showed a hint of fatigue, and he said somewhat wistfully, "This time, fate has given us a chance. If it weren’t for someone deliberately framing you, I might not have lived to see this day."

In the original plan, the Duke of Storm City was supposed to pretend for a while, and then naturally be discovered with evidence of treason, which would slowly incite conflict from the king’s side, ultimately forcing the Duke into rebellion.

Only then would it seem more genuine, and the Giant Race would believe him.

But the king did not have much time left.

He almost thought he wouldn’t live to see the moment the plan was implemented.

Now, it was good. The friend in the giant prophecy directly set him up, and the Duke of Storm City took advantage of the situation and played along, accelerating everything.

That’s why everything seemed so hasty.

The king was very pleased.

He endured for nearly forty years, using the lives of 110,000 slave soldiers and two retired aerial fortresses, just to completely dominate the Taboo Forest in his generation and complete the evolution of humanity.

It seemed as if from the moment he violated that female giant, he had already planned everything, and this war had only two purposes:

First, to end the threat of the Giant Dynasty.

Second, to capture the female giant in the Taboo Forest and forcibly extend the life of the Roosevelt Family to usher in a new era for humans.

Once they managed to breed a new generation from the female giants, even if the entire world turned into a Taboo Forest, the Roosevelt Family could still survive.

By then, this King Roosevelt would be renowned through the ages, like the first King Roosevelt, a master of revival.

In the palace of the Central Royal City, King Roosevelt looked at the soldiers in front of him and said calmly, "In this battle, all of you are heroes, and the kingdom will not forget you."

The soldiers following the Duke of Storm City were filled with excitement.

After speaking, the king sat down at the desk and began to sign documents.

The first was to acknowledge the legitimate royal status of the Duke of Storm City.

The second was to reward the soldiers who followed the Duke of Storm City.

He did not reward the Duke of Storm City because the Duke no longer needed anyone to reward him.

The king wanted to give this brave and wise son a seat.

And the person sitting in this seat only needed to reward others and no longer needed others to reward him.

The only regret was that the Duke of Storm City was not a Drama Master; he had practiced the Arbiter’s dark magic in the past.

The king looked at the Duke of Storm City, "From today, start practicing as a Drama Master."

The Duke of Storm City showed a slight smile; he had finally obtained everything he wanted: "Thank you, father."

However, just as the family was enjoying the joyous moment, suddenly an officer came running wildly and shouted, "We just replayed the satellite surveillance frame by frame and found that before the Eternal Spear fell, all the giants disappeared."

The smile on King Roosevelt’s face slowly faded: "Say that again."

The smile on the Duke of Storm City’s face also slowly faded.

The officer repeated, "The giants did not die."

He hurriedly opened the video, and everyone clearly saw that when the Eternal Spear was about to fall, the giants indeed disappeared from view.

Satellite surveillance was in high resolution; this couldn’t be faked.

Everyone was stunned...

Someone exclaimed, "What happened?"

It was still the king and the Duke of Storm City who reacted first: "Key of Gate!"

"It’s Key of Gate!"

As the saying goes, it was Key of Gate that led to both success and failure.

They used Key of Gate to leave the battlefield, and so did the other side!

The king said grimly, "Joker..."

It must be noted, the king learned this move from Qing Chen. If Qing Chen hadn’t used some extremely irritating tricks in the Northern Jindai territory, he wouldn’t have learned this move!

Playing Key of Gate in front of Qing Chen was a bit like showing off one’s skill with an axe.

Last time, when he learned from Joker using Key of Gate, Joker taught him a lesson with a mercury bomb, and Nikita suffered burns all over, and the Jindai Family Master fell from the deck of the aerial fortress.

This time, he used Key of Gate again from Joker, and once again, Joker taught him a lesson!

The king used a lifetime’s worth of time, two aerial fortresses, and hundreds of airships, only to exchange for a door frame from Joker!

The price was too high!

The Duke of Storm City looked sullen, having just received the commendation, only to now learn of the plan’s failure.

This missile was thrown down, killing countless beasts in the Taboo Forest.

But what’s the use? The Taboo Forest occupies most of the West Continent’s land, and the beasts they saw were just a drop in the bucket.

The giants only brought these beasts because their population was too small to control more beasts.

Now, if the Giant Race truly produced several demigods, all with Beast Taming Talent, then the Roosevelt Kingdom wouldn’t stand a chance; just the mice in the Taboo Forest would be enough to destroy a kingdom.

So the harm they caused to the Giant Race... was equivalent to no harm at all!

The greatest harm would probably be making the giants choke while laughing out loud.

The Duke of Storm City couldn’t bear such a failure.
