Chapter 529 - 17: Intergalactic War
The Star Annihilator Cannon’s power was immense, and the True Dragon’s body suffered significant injuries under this skill.
Emperor Kairo drove divine power to awaken Lu Hong, while a host of the True Dragon Empire’s strongest gathered.
The fame of the Star Annihilator Cannon within the Star Domain was well-known, and naturally, its weaknesses were not hard to discover.
Firing from the heart of the Maseli Core Circle to the hinterlands of Dragon City in the True Dragon Empire, and precisely guiding to Emperor Kairo, anyone could see that Lu Hong had become bait.
Whether the bait was aware or not, in the aftermath of the cannon’s blast, Dragon City was reduced to ashes, with a million civilians dead.
"Your Majesty! This man must be held responsible for this!" Now, no one called him Baron anymore. They all treated Lu Hong as the enemy, wishing to execute him quickly.
Emperor Kairo’s face was expressionless. He could see that Lu Hong was innocent, but Dragon City had been home to the relatives and families of many strong individuals of the True Dragon Empire, including Emperor Kairo’s own son and wife, who perished under the Star Annihilator Cannon. There had to be an explanation.
"Tu Kulu, you must take responsibility for this," Emperor Kairo said in a deep voice.
"I was not aware." Lu Hong spoke up to explain, "If you want my life, I’m afraid that won’t be possible."
Lu Hong could see the hatred and anger in the eyes of the crowd and knew explanations were useless. Yet, he could not die here. Having experienced death, he now cherished his life and did not want to die so stiflingly.
