Chapter 2490 – Human Alliance (3)

No one knew that long before Duan Hen and Shen Yanxiao became well-known, they had already made a private alliance. The destruction of the Elders’ Council of the Seven Kingdoms was entirely due to Shen Yanxiao.

Shen Yanxiao abided by her agreement with Duan Hen and helped him to reach the highest peak of

the Seven Kingdoms.

Even though Shen Yanxiao had not been in the Radiance Continent these years, her decision had unwittingly inuenced the patterns of the various countries in this continent.

Indeed, this was holding the universe despite being thousands of miles away.

“Duan Hen of the Seven Kingdoms pays respects to the Lord.” Duan Hen turned a deaf ear to other people’s comments, walked up to Shen Yanxiao, and knelt down on one knee.

Shen Yanxiao narrowed her eyes. Only the two of them knew about the cooperation between her and Duan Hen. Shen Yanxiao did not expect that the gloomy teenager she met in Twilight City would really become king. Duan Hen’s ability and skill had surpassed those of his peers. His cruelty could make even the

adults tremble in fear.

It was just…

“After a few years of not seeing each other, Sovereign Duan has become all the more mature.” Shen Yanxiao opened her mouth with a smile. Fear, that was an emotion that only her enemies would evoke. She and Duan Hen were allies.

“Duan Hen is very grateful for the Lord’s concern. This is the record of the preparations of my Seven Kingdoms. Please have a look.” Duan Hen got up; his youthful appearance did not show any

youthful spirit at all. His face did not have the slightest smile and every muscle of his body was

tightly stretched. Unlike what outsiders thought, becoming a king wasn’t so simple to him. How many nights had he woken up from a dream of a pool of blood; how many nights had he woke up under the murderous light of a dagger.

The assassination plots of the seven kings had never stopped. He was ghting with death every day.

Shen Yanxiao nodded her head and took the scroll to examine it carefully. Compared with the perfect preparation of the Divine Wind Alliance, the situation in the Seven

Kingdoms was much worse. The destruction of the Elders’ Council had caused long-term chaos to

the army originally controlled by that council. The various kings of the seven Kingdoms all wanted

to take the opportunity to retrieve their own army. Duan Hen spent great eort to control those

troops under his own hands. However, at his age, it was very dicult to control such a huge army; coupled with the Seven

Kingdoms’s various kings’ fear of him, Duan Hen encountered great diculties in the initial training of the army.

It was not until he took the princes and princesses of the seven small countries hostage that this

chaotic situation was stabilized. Duan Hen’s method of training the army was extremely brutal. During the period of his training, many soldiers were damaged. In a very short period of time, Duan Hen used this iron-blooded

training method to rebuild the army of the Seven Kingdoms. Even though it was not as tough as the Divine Wind Alliance’s army, it was also an army that would cause people to be terror-stricken.

Shen Yanxiao frowned slightly as she read the records sent by Duan Hen. His training methods were too brutal and she did not agree with this. However, she also knew that if Duan Hen did not do this, the army of the Seven Kingdoms would suer more casualties on the battleeld. Duan Hen’s erce character could be seen from the way he trained troops.

Shen Yanxiao believed that if she handed these records to the other leaders, it would frighten

people to death. Over 30% of their millions of troops were lost.

Three out of every ten soldiers died in training, a rate no country could aord.

Through the ages, Duan Hen was probably the only one who dared to do this.
