131 Bro Leon, Is It Not Bro Leon?
“Dragon King… it is indeed the Dragon King!”
“But why are they helping Leon against the Empire? Wasn’t it said that the Empire and the Dragon Race were in cahoots to manipulate this war?”
“I guess there must be some within the Dragon Race who’ve been trying to uncover this grand conspiracy all along?”
“Honestly though, I don’t quite trust the Dragon Race… Look at that Dragon King Constantin, he seems super aggressive.”
“What you’re saying is ridiculous! Would someone not fierce enough even be able to become the Dragon King?”
“However it turns out… since we’re all victims who’ve been deceived by the Empire for so long, right now whoever can take down the dog emperor, I’m rooting for them!”
“You’re getting a tad too extreme with that thinking.”
“So what? Who are you rooting for then?”
“Leon.”
“Tch!”
“…”
A myriad of emotions swirled around in the crowd, as people debated.
There were those who unconditionally believed in and supported Leon, while others had a cautious and skeptical stance towards this current mission of Leon’s.
However, everyone, regardless of their stance, was someone who had been oppressed by the Empire for a long time, and so there was certainly no way anyone would take King Cant’s side.
This was the purpose of Leon using the Shadow Stone resonance to reveal the Empire’s ugly face to the public.
Even if he couldn’t make everyone support him, he could at least let the majority see the current situation clearly.
The leading Sharp Blade Trio looked towards the three Dragon Kings who descended from the heavens, clearly somewhat shocked.
They were indeed the newly trained dragon-killing machines of the Empire, their efficiency in no way inferior to the young Leon of yesteryears. In front of any member of the Dragon Race, they almost always swept in with brute force.
But since these were the helpers Leon had brought, they were probably different from the Dragon Kings the trio had faced in the past.
Especially that… Constantin.
The “fusion technique” and the “Sharp Blade plan” were carried out simultaneously, so the Jimei brothers had also heard a bit about Constantin, the super stitched-up monster.
Even more so since he had once broken free from the mind-restraint of the Royal Wizard Corps and escaped the Empire, causing quite a commotion.
Now, this revenant of burning vengeance has returned, no doubt to exact his revenge on the Empire.
But despite expecting the battle to be tough, Jini showed no sign of fear.
“Looks like you haven’t been doing so well among the Dragon Race all these years, eh Leon?”
Team Leader Jini’s voice was still full of contempt, “Two women, a corpse that’s died twice, and this is who you’ve called for assistance?”
“The boss means that if you can’t get enough people to back you up, you might as well surrender. No need to come out here to make a fool of yourself,” Kite added.
And finally, the one-armed Jimei was even more arrogant,
“Three Dragon Kings, so each of us gets one, no need to scramble like we used to!”
Taunting before battle was a standard procedure, and heart-piercing trash talk was inevitable.
But Leon was beyond the age for trash talk.
The people beside him—his wife, aunt, and Old Constantin—had no interest in this phase.
Claudia and Roswiser stood with their arms crossed, watching the three argue with a gaze filled with care and pity for the brain-dead children.
Though Constantin was bestowed with the title of “a corpse that’s died twice,” he remained calm, refraining from immediate action.
Because he knew he was here as Leon’s assistant; Leon had not spoken yet, so he should not steal the spotlight.
You ask why esteemed Red Flame Dragon King Constantin would obediently follow General Leon?
It’s naturally because of the roomful of Primal Power Magic Manuals that Leon had promised him!
…
Leon looked around on both sides, and none of the three assistants showed any signs of replying with trash talk.
Though Leon himself wasn’t one for verbal sparring either, this was still a crucial battle and a few words were necessary.
“Regarding the allocation of headcounts, you need not worry.”
Stepping forward, Leon spread his right hand, gathering lightning force in his palm. “I’ll take the three of you alone, and Constantin will only deal with those Dangerous Species and Fusion Beasts.”
Upon hearing this, Jini arched his brow. “Leon, you’re quite arrogant, aren’t you? Did you know that on dragon-slaying battlefields, our brothers’ records are no less impressive than yours.”
Leon let out a cold snort, slightly crouched into an attacking posture.
“Let me explain this after a couple of moves.”
With that, Leon didn’t waste any more words on the Sharp Blade Trio, directly gathering lightning spells, flashing his form, and darting forward.
In a life-and-d*ath battle, it’s a matter of breaths between taking someone’s life, so there’s no need to shout ‘one, two, three, go.’
Leon’s sudden assault was also very effective, as the Sharp Blade Trio had no time to react.
By the time Leon’s form materialized, he was already by Jini’s side.
Instantly, a sharp bird whistle sounded in Jini’s ear—
BOOM!—
A decisive strike, directly sending the leader of the Sharp Blade group flying back over ten meters.
And this Thousand Birds technique was the signal for the start of battle. The Emperor Cant on the Land Boat wiped off the sweat from his forehead and immediately called out,
“Attack! All of you, attack! k*ll this traitor!”
“Roar!—”
The Dangerous Species and Fusion Beasts surged forward.
As Leon had said before, these guys were handed over to the three experts he’d invited for handling.
Claudia glanced over those horrifying and grotesque monsters with her beautiful eyes, raising the corner of her mouth.
“He’s handed over the tough ones to himself and given the small fry to us. Roswiser.”
“Hmm?”
“Your husband is quite stingy.”
“…”
Roswiser smiled helplessly but also got ready for the attack, “Predecessor, battles know no stinginess. All enemies must be confronted with all our might.”
“Ah, that’s a great sense of determination. No wonder you two are a couple.”
After speaking, Claudia stopped fooling around, lifting her hand to gather Dragon Flame, and attacking the Dangerous Beasts around, sending those monsters flying into the sky.
Roswiser seized the opportunity, adding a fireball, forming a perfect first wave of coordination with Claudia.
“Not bad. Keep it up.”
On this side, the two were coordinating to clean up the small fry, their moves methodical and orderly, even to the point where they could be described as graceful and elegant.
But the situation with Constantin was obviously much ‘livelier’.
Because of the grudge he already had against the Empire, seeing these fusion monsters always reminded him of the days of torture in the Empire’s lab.
So Constantin’s hands weren’t light at all.
A few big spells of Dragon Flame later, half a street was nearly destroyed.
Fortunately, the Lionheart Association had already evacuated the crowd, preventing any casualties.
“Hmph, a bunch of trash.”
Constantin swung his right hand, shaking off the remnants of Dragon Flame in his palm, and then rushed toward a larger Fusion Beast.
Indeed, small Carla Mei can’t satisfy the Red Flame Dragon King; bigger targets are needed!
…
This battle, related to the Empire’s fate, quickly escalated.
Leon tangled with the Sharp Blade Trio.
Even against three, he did not fall behind.
Jini brothers’ punches were swift as wind, fast as lightning, with a storm of fist attacks toward Leon.
And Leon dodged all of these attacks; no matter how fast their punches were, Leon remained completely unharmed from beginning to end.
The four fought all the way from the upper city boundary to two blocks away.
Leon fought while retreating.
“I say, revolutionary hero, how come you’ve been fighting for so long without counterattacking?” The one-armed third brother Jimei mocked as he launched his attack.
Leon crossed his arms in front of him, blocking Jimei’s heavy punch with ease, then replied:
“Fight so long, and you haven’t yet used your other hand. How come? You don’t want to?”
In terms of verbal skills, these three combined couldn’t match a single fraction of Leon’s.
Not to mention, General Leon was once the boss of the Dragon Slayer Army; his verbal dexterity was naturally unmatched.
Let alone over the years, Leon’s battles of wits with the Mother Dragon in the Silver Dragon Temple had transformed him completely.
To win an argument with Leon, it’s simply more impossible than winning a fight against him.
Jimei instantly flared up, his punches suddenly losing order,
“You b*stard! I’ll rip off both your arms right now!”
“Jimei, wait! Don’t go in alone!”
But it was too late. The one-armed hothead had already jumped to Leon’s side, raising his leg, directly aiming toward Leon’s waist.
But Leon was just waiting for this chance!
As soon as Jimei separated from the other two, Leon had enough space to deal with him.
This way, it became a “Leon vs Jimei” fight instead of the initial “one against three”.
Leon intentionally left a false opening at his waist, baiting Jimei.
The moment he raised his leg, Leon hooked it with his arm, striking Jimei’s lower calf with his elbow forcefully.
Crack!—
A bone-breaking sound, followed by Jimei’s scream.
Leon took advantage of this momentum, grabbing Jimei’s ankle, twirling in place to slam and hurl him away.
BOOM!—
Jimei soared like a missile into a low-rise building, collapsing it instantly, burying himself under piles of rubble and rocks.
“Jimei!!”
Seeing the third brother wounded, Jimei’s brother Kite was slightly upset.
“Take care of yourself first.”
A deathlike whisper; Kite was momentarily distracted, but Leon instantly appeared beside him.
In the next moment, thunder roared, Leon prematurely detonated the Thousand Birds technique, using the explosive force to blast Kite away.
Upon finishing the move, Jini launched an attack.
But Leon was already ready, stepping back just a bit to narrowly avoid Jini’s charge.
Taking this opportunity, Leon lifted his leg, delivering a powerful knee strike to Jini’s abdomen.
In the blink of an eye, Jini felt all his internal organs twisting together, losing mobility instantly.
Leon then lifted his hand, grabbing Jini’s neck, raising him high, and violently throwing him onto the concrete ground.
Jini’s back and lungs suffered severe impact, coughing bl**d on the spot.
The ground beneath him showed clear cracks.
Leon slowly got up, kicking Jini aside with a foot.
By now, the Sharp Blade Trio had one buried, one blasted away, and another almost embedded in the ground.
The three lay in a ‘pin’ shape around Leon.
But Leon didn’t let down his guard, because he knew that these alone could not k*ll the three of them.
Sure enough, not long after, the Sharp Blade Trio adjusted and were ready for battle again, albeit with more injuries, but their fighting spirit and murderous intent had been ignited to the fullest extent by Leon.
“The wisdom from an elder: when outnumbered, split the enemy, transforming the situation of ‘one against three’ into three ‘one against one’.”
Leon explained calmly.
“So, let’s go back to the question we started with.”
Leon straightened his back, looking at Jini with ease,
“You claim your records on dragon-killing battlefields are no worse than mine. Actually, that’s not true.”
As he spoke, he slowly raised his right hand, the glowing blue thunder flickering in his palm,
“You can k*ll Dragon Kings because your limit is Dragon King;”
“But for me, I can k*ll the Dragon King because—”
“The strongest creature in this world is the Dragon King.”
“If there’s anything else, it’s simply because I haven’t met it yet.”
Snap—
Leon suddenly clapped his hands together, the bursting thunderous force continuously producing sounds, and clouds promptly covered the sky.
Lightning and thunder fiercely churned in the clouds as if they were wild beasts about to burst out of their confines.

Outside the battlefield, seeing Leon unleash the super ultimate Dragon Extinction three minutes into the fight, Lisa-chan thought:
Captain, not necessary, not necessary.
