The Mighty Dragons Are Dead

Chapter 1020: Chapter 1017: Death by Arrogance Chapter 1020: Chapter 1017: Death by Arrogance The Earth Fury Family had already been overrun by the raging charge of the Knight Order, and with Pilaf the Earth Frenzy no longer presiding over it, the castle relied solely on his legitimate eldest son, Pifonte Earth Fury, to maintain its operations.

Compared to Pilaf, whose strength was on par with top Domain Knights, Pifonte’s current power was, at best, that of a Completion Level Sky Knight.

And the two Marquises from Grey Iron Duchy advancing on them were both Completion Level Sky Knights. Outnumbered two to one, Pifonte was directly and disastrously defeated. His defeat, just like the war orchestrated by Liszt, had a predetermined outcome. Every person, young and old, was captured and became prisoners at the victor’s feet.

“Hand over all the contracts of the Elves, offer up the wealth of the Earth Fury Family, confess your guilt, and you and your remaining three brothers commit suicide, and I will spare the Earth Fury Family the sin of attempting my assassination.” Liszt stood in front of Pifonte, who was bound by Mountain Copper Manacles, looking imposing in his Bone Dragon Armor.

Pifonte did not look at his brothers; he simply turned his head and glanced at his wife, teary-eyed, and his three sons, aged ten, eight, and four.

Then, with a mixture of sorrow and anger, he looked at Liszt: “I am a noble of the Eagle Kingdom. My father and brothers attempted to assassinate you, but that did not betray the knightly code of ethics!”

“Do you really want to play on the literal meaning of the words, ‘victory for those in power, defeat for those who are vanquished’?”

Hearing this, Pifonte ultimately succumbed and said, “I understand. On behalf of the Earth Fury Family, I am willing to acknowledge my sins to His Majesty King Liszt, and am also willing to hand over the family’s Elves and wealth… May I meet my father before I take my own life?”
