Chapter 364 - Chapter 364: The Present and the Future

He detained all the soldiers in his mansion.

In response to this situation, Roa didn't hold back. He personally took action, killing everyone in the mansion.

The North God style expert was killed with a single sword strike, becoming a victim of the Windpipe.

Roa's approach was simple: if you don't obey, I'll kill you until you do.

The territory was vast, and the Kingdom of Asura had a large population. There would always be obedient people.

Roa didn't care; he wasn't afraid of not finding the right people.

At first, the nobles seemed to be scared by the killings, and no one dared to speak up.

But by the middle of the month, a neighboring country sent troops to attack the border of the Kingdom of Asura. The border nobles' response was simple: they didn't resist. In some areas, they even opened the city gates to welcome the invaders.

That morning, Ariel was overwhelmed by these trivial matters.

She summoned the nobles and asked them for solutions, but the answer she got was: "If you return our territories, we can repel the invaders from the neighboring country."

Ariel was furious. It was obvious to everyone that this was the nobles' doing.

The nobles thought their coercion would make Ariel back down.

But that morning, Roa rode a red dragon, flying across the entire Kingdom of Asura.

Those imperial forces that attacked the villages were completely annihilated, leaving none alive.

Roa is not just a simple swordsman; his magical attainments are also quite remarkable. He fears group battles with these kinds of minions the least.

Facing a being like Roa, it's not like enough numbers can wear him down.

A lot of ants can indeed kill an elephant.

But the gap between them is so large that even ants and elephants cannot describe it.

Under this disparity, the so-called quantity cannot fill the void.

Just in case, Roa even ran to the neighboring country's capital for a friendly transaction.

Roa reasoned with them, and the rulers of the neighboring countries were understanding, all expressing that their countries would never do such a stupid thing.

After a negotiation, both sides reached a treaty. The rulers of the neighboring countries even watched Roa depart, and after seeing him leave, they were so grateful that they shed tears.

This made Roa feel very emotional. Indeed, there are many good people in this world; those stupid nobles of the Asura Kingdom are ultimately a minority.

Back home, Roa did not execute all those nobles. He found a few who seemed to hold high positions and were deeply involved in the matter, and directly killed them, confiscating all their titles and property.

In just one month, the nobles of the Asura Kingdom were reduced by a third, with high officials either dead or exiled.

For a time, the entire country was in turmoil.

However, everything was within Roa's expectations.

Faced with the turmoil, Roa's solution was simple: whoever obeyed lived, any rebellion would be suppressed, and any invasion of the border would be besieged.

The number of people who died during this period was more than the total number of people who had died in the previous decades combined. Since the founding of the country by the ancestors, this year had the highest death toll.

However, looking at Roa's decisive and ruthless attitude, it seemed he could really kill everyone.

By the end, everyone was numb, and they spoke cautiously, fearing that any rebellious thoughts would be detected.

Originally, this hall would be full of people, but now, just a month later, the hall was empty, and the number of people who could stand here was less than half of what it used to be.

It is worth mentioning that Roa killed so many people that many positions were vacant.

Roa thought for a while and directly called Philip over.

Philip also entered the city overnight, returning to the Royal capital once again. He stared dumbfounded at the group of people who had successfully rebelled.

Philip, who was in a remote area, was still a bit confused at the moment, and inexplicably became a marquis, with his territory several times larger.

Sitting on the throne was a girl whose appearance and temperament could be described as perfect, and standing beside the girl was a young man with a long sword at his waist.

The two of them had now taken control of the entire court. If the Asura Kingdom was previously the world of nobles, then now the only two people who could truly speak in the Asura Kingdom were Roa and Ariel.

Everyone was terrified by Roa's killings, living in fear every day, afraid of being directly beheaded by Roa the next moment.

In Philip's view, Roa's approach was still too radical, but at this moment, he was not qualified to speak. He wisely chose to shut up, honestly accepting the promotion and becoming Ariel's right-hand man.

Returning to the dream capital again, Philip felt a little dazed, everything was like a dream, happening very suddenly.

This year's cold wave was particularly severe. To prevent ordinary people from freezing to death, Roa asked Ariel to formulate a series of detailed disaster relief plans. Of course, Roa did not participate in these things; he was only responsible for killing people and deterring the nobles, and nothing else.

After dealing with things, seeing that the situation had stabilized, Roa, fearing that the old thief of the Human God would instruct the Dragon God to steal his home, brought Paul and Zenith's family to the capital early.

The black sphere above the Fittoa Territory was getting bigger and bigger, and at this moment, it was on the verge of erupting at any time. The magic power contained in it made even Roa a little speechless.

The transfer incident is equivalent to a large-scale spell. The violent magic power will envelop the entire town, and the people in the town will be randomly teleported to a place.

This is not a good thing. There are too many dangerous places in this world: magical beasts, the Demon Continent, labyrinths, wars, etc. Too many things can lead to death, especially for those civilians without martial power, facing these things is simply courting death.

But Roa couldn't stop it from happening.

The best way is to organize people to evacuate and transfer everyone away when the magic surge erupts.

But if he really did that, Roa had a bad feeling.

Even though it was very simple to do, his intuition told him that it was better not to do it that way.

However, it's better to keep family members in a safe place, lest his crystal be stolen after he finishes fighting.

Just in case, Roa also planned to move the Holy Land of Swords over.

Regarding the move, Gal directly refused without even thinking about it.

The Holy Land of Swords has always been a must-contend place for all swordsmen and a symbol of the strength of the Sword God Style.

After all, the Sword God Style is now called the mainstream, faintly above the other three styles.

Gal could not give up the Holy Land of Swords no matter what.

Roa was scolded by the old man, but there was nothing he could do. He had to change his reason and take all the disciples away to the Asura Kingdom under the pretext of exchanging and learning with the Water God Style.

Gal originally wanted to refuse, but Roa had no choice but to roughly explain his situation, and Gal reluctantly agreed.

After dealing with the old guy, Roa did not idle around. He kept wandering around the border of the Asura Kingdom to see when the Dragon God planned to come.

At this moment, there were already three god-level masters in the Asura Kingdom.

One Water God, one former Sword God, and one current Sword God.

Moreover, in a short period of time, the entire Sword God Style was also moved over with their families.

It can be said that the combat power was maxed out. Although they could not directly compete with the Dragon God, it was no problem to stay behind.

Faced with the big trouble of the Dragon God, Roa did not expect Gal and Reida to cope. Going up would be courting death, so they should honestly stay behind.

Everything seemed to be getting better, everything was in the plan.

However, everyone could still feel the atmosphere of an impending storm.

Everyone was on edge.

Roa was away for longer and longer periods of time, and for a while, he simply did not return to the palace. He did not know when the Dragon God would come, but he had to intercept the Dragon God outside the Asura Kingdom.

In the hall, Ariel frowned tightly, watching Roa's departing figure.

Roa casually strolled around the palace and then left again.

At this moment, a group of people stood below the hall.

This group of people was divided into three factions: the Water God Style, the Sword God Style, and the nobles who had no presence.

Everyone gathered together, staring at each other with wide eyes.

When Gal saw Reida, he showed a smile that he thought was very kind.

However, Reida rolled her eyes and ignored Gal.

This made Gal feel inexplicable.

The two were close friends and had been together for many years. Their relationship was not bad, but now Reida was putting on such a bad face.

Rudeus looked around, but before he could look around for a while, he was slapped on the forehead by a red-haired girl.

The three forces were meeting for the first time today. Rudeus was furious, but when he turned around and saw it was Eris, he instantly cowered.

The red-haired girl patted Rudeus on the shoulder, looked around, and asked curiously, "Where's your brother?"

Rudeus thought to himself that the red-haired girl would only ask where Roa was. Although he thought so, Rudeus still replied, "He's gone."

"Ah, when did he leave? I didn't even see him." Eris said, her expression somewhat disappointed.

Rudeus didn't care. He casually said, "He's been busy lately. After all, he can't be as idle as we are."

Eris did not deny this. Although she was disappointed, she still nodded.

Just as Eris was about to leave, Rudeus suddenly grabbed her.

Eris turned her head to look at Rudeus. She didn't say anything, but her expression was asking: What do you want?

"Ah, I just wanted to ask, where's Sylphy?"

Rudeus was still not good at dealing with Eris. He always felt a sense of oppression when Eris stared at him.

Eris thought about it very seriously and then said, "Sylphy? I think I saw her just now, but you have to ask your father or Aisha about this."

"Oh, is that so? Thank you." Rudeus quickly thanked her.

Eris shrugged her shoulders, didn't say much, and turned to leave.

Rudeus didn't care. Eris had such a straightforward personality.

But now it would be troublesome. He had to meet Aisha and the others, which always felt like it would become quite troublesome.

Rudeus was in a headache. He didn't particularly like taking care of children.

Compared to Rudeus's headache, Paul's side seemed very peaceful.

To avoid trouble, Roa brought all his wives back.

This also meant that Roxy, Mitsuri Kanroji, and others gathered together.

Mitsuri Kanroji and Roxy were meeting for the first time, and both seemed a little restrained.

Restraint was certain, after all, the only connection between the two was Roa.

However, because there were many children, the atmosphere was not completely cold, even though they didn't have much to talk about.

Chatting casually, Roxy's eyes were always on Mitsuri's undulating mountains, and Mitsuri Kanroji was a head shorter than Roa, but much taller than Roxy.

The difference between the two was very large.

Roxy showed an envious expression. The topic between the girls gradually went astray.

Roxy finally couldn't resist her curiosity and asked a question that even she found very embarrassing: "How can I grow up like you?"

Mitsuri Kanroji was slightly stunned and didn't react at first. It wasn't until she saw the part that the petite loli in front of her was staring at that she understood what the other person meant, and her face instantly turned red.

Although she was no longer a girl and had done that kind of thing countless times, was it really okay to discuss this in front of children?

Mitsuri Kanroji was a little shy, but Roxy's expression was quite serious. She continued to ask, "How did you get so big? Please teach me!"

Even honorifics were used. Mitsuri Kanroji was speechless. She looked down and found that Aisha, who had been uninterested, was now looking up at her with excitement, as if she was also very curious about this question.

Mitsuri Kanroji couldn't help but stretch out her slender finger and flick Aisha's forehead, saying angrily, "It's too early for you to think about that. Don't think so much, kid."

Aisha puffed up her face and retorted, "This is called planning ahead."

A group of people were noisy, without any sense of tension.

But this was what Roa wanted to see.

Whether it was the so-called Human God or the Dragon God, Roa didn't want them to worry. He could handle these things himself.

If the sky fell, there would be someone tall to hold it up. Roa didn't want everyone to be overwhelmed by the Dragon God and the Human God.

Everything was quiet in the Royal capital, without any unexpected incidents.

The snow was particularly heavy this year, and the cold wind mixed with heavy snow engulfed the entire world.
