What do humans want to show?
Chips served, and…
bona fide.
You can't show the power to defeat me, you have to show enough humility.
This is what the world-destroying dragon means.
Everyone felt incredible when they heard the news.
"You mean, he destroyed four of our bases just to negotiate with us?"
This conclusion is so absurd that it makes people stunned.
It even feels a bit false.
Why is this necessary if it's just for a diplomatic negotiation?
"Because of our arrogance." Root calmed down after understanding what he meant. "We have never had a formal negotiation with them."
"No?" Those *** were confused.
Yes, not at all!
Not even once!
Mike for the first time, Francis for the second time, and Root for the third time.
There was never a formal negotiation that put wizards on an equal footing.
The consistent arrogance of the world's most powerful country makes it reasonable for them to ignore the appeals of small countries and even smaller wizards.
Greedily reaching out to the magical world, they never thought of cooperating, only taking it for themselves.
The root of everything comes from their arrogance.
"Ten minutes left!"
A horrified voice sounded.
Another report followed.
"The World-Destroying Dragon has entered Washington's territory!"
There was no time to think too much.
The world-destroying dragon is approaching the city, and any decision is powerless.
They looked at the president, who looked extremely ugly.
There is only one option now, take Root's advice and put the Wizards back on the table.
Otherwise, millions of people will become gifts to the goddess of death under the shadow of the Dragon of Destruction.
"Lute is in charge."
The president took a deep breath. His own stupidity and arrogance led to all this.
He could already foresee that his last year as president would be fruitless.
Re-elected?
It would be the best outcome if he was not sent to jail for this matter.
He felt deeply tired and made one wrong step after another.
America's arrogance will eventually cost them a heavy price.
...
A bustling, diverse city, Washington.
The capital of the world's most powerful country.
A paradise for rich people.
This place seems so insecure at the moment.
There are eight minutes left on the clock.
People just feel that there are dark clouds approaching in the distance.
A terrorist attack was reported and an area was evacuated.
This is already the limit of what can be done.
The heavily armed troops and tanks lay across the street.
Even so, there is no sense of security at all.
At this moment, humans are extremely vulnerable.
They stared at the huge, never-before-seen being slowly approaching.
It was a dragon, a giant dragon.
The world-destroying dragon.
Human arrogance drew the wrath of the Witch-King.
When this place falls, all of Washington and even the United States will become a thing of the past.
Root came to the front in a helicopter.
In just one hour, his eyes were full of fatigue.
In this hour, he experienced more things than in his whole life.
The president also came to the scene, and bodyguards and agents had to protect him.
This not-so-excellent president finally saved some face for himself at the last minute.
"If it were a terrorist attack, you might have some effect, but now, it is a force that humans cannot contend with.
Around you, you will only look small. "
At this point in time, there is no need to worry about assassination.
The president stood next to Root. He looked complicated and guilty and said: "My pride and arrogance caused all this."
"Mr. President, you don't have to blame yourself too much."
Root said: "We are all equally arrogant."
"You don't understand how many times we have had opportunities to show goodwill," the president said with a sigh as he backed away from the others and stood there with Root alone. "I also acquiesced in Francis' behavior."
"It's also our arrogance that all of this is what humans should have."
"Longevity genes can enable faster development of human technology."
Despite the suspicion of whitewashing, the president actually doesn't have much of a problem.
The main reason is that Francis spreads the hatred too much.
The Minister of Defense almost made wizards and humans irreconcilable, and in the end a war was needed to end it all.
"With tens of thousands of soldiers in this area, we have no way of knowing the dragon's methods," Root suggested. "What happened in Westview Town tells us that the dragon can control his killing."
"No amount of soldiers will have any effect, because the dragon's shadow can kill them instantly."
The president heard the suggestion and thought it made sense.
Concentrated soldiers cannot escape death, it is better to let them go.
Just keep two people.
The president immediately gave the order, and others immediately persuaded the president after hearing it.
But the president is now resolute and can only disperse the soldiers to various areas.
There are only two people in this place.
Leaning against the car door, the president ignored the surprise of Root next to him, took out a cigarette, lit it and put it in his mouth.
In one breath, he burned the smoke to one third, and the president exhaled heavily.
The president of the United States who graduated from a prestigious university, few people know that he smokes.
In front of the people, he needs to ensure his glorious and great image, so he often shows people with that false smile.
"I remember you have a daughter at home." The president suddenly said, "Rutte, you go back."
"If you fail, you can say goodbye to your family."
"No, Mr. President." Root shook his head and said, "She would be proud of me."
When talking about his daughter, Root relaxed his tense nerves and said half-jokingly: "She found an internship job at a newspaper, but every time she comes home, she complains."
"She is a caring person and has adopted so many animals that I often have to help her walk her dogs."
When a man talks about his family with you, it means he starts to treat you as a friend.
The president also smiled and said, "Girls in this period are like this. I envy you for having a sensible daughter."
Thinking of his own home, the president also had a smile on his face.
The two became friends as the end was approaching.
They could already see the approaching Dragon of Destruction.
First it was a small dot, now it is getting closer.
You can already see the fear and oppression caused by the black scales.
Before they even got close, the breathless fear began to overwhelm the two of them.
The sky became dark.
Above the clouds, black and white owls dance with thunder.
"Boom!"
A crash of thunder.
The sky reflected the appearance of a ferocious black dragon.
This scene also made some people in Washington discover it.
Riots began, with some convinced they had seen demons.
It is a dark existence that will destroy everything.
Some people smashed items crazily and ran into the store to steal the contents.
Fear spread quickly throughout the region like a plague.
The soldiers sent out in advance also began to suppress the riots.
Death was waving its wings towards them.
Root's legs were like lead and he couldn't walk.
The president's cigarette had burned to the butt, his fingers were burned, and his throat seemed to be blocked by something, making him unable to make a sound.
Soot falls.
Shadows moved slowly towards them along the ground.
die.
The word death quickly popped into their minds at the same time.
Frequently and repeatedly occupy the mind.
escape?
Can't escape.
Root's teeth chattered and he accidentally bit his tongue.
It left the taste of rust in his mouth, causing physical fear to recede.
Thinking of his daughter, he understood that there was no way out.
He steeled himself, pushed the president with his hand, and whispered, "Mr. President."
The president only came to his senses after being reminded.
He immediately threw away the cigarette butt that burned his fingers.
Cold sweat streaked his forehead.
Even if he had a death wish, his back could not help but be wet with cold sweat.
The shadow was no more than two meters away from them.
While advancing slowly, he came to one meter in front of them.
Half a meter.
Thirty centimeters.
Three inches.
One inch.
Stop.
The two of them were about to let go of their worries when they saw a shadow covering their bodies without warning.
Falling from the air, the huge body swept with hot wind and wrapped around the two of them.
The car was blown backwards, and they tensed up, struggling to stabilize themselves.
Wait until the hot wind caused by the giant dragon landing passes.
They opened their eyes that had been blown shut by the wind.
Death, this is what it feels like.
Looking up, that huge body looks like the god of death on earth.
The world-destroying dragon has ferocious claws, and there is no light on its dark scales.
The president's breathing became labored and he clutched his heart.
Root quickly looked at his body, standing under the shadow.
His face uncharacteristically dispelled fear.
"Success!"
He grabbed the president's arm, shook him, and shouted, "Our lives have not been taken away!"
This meant that, as he had guessed, the World-Destroying Dragon came here for a negotiation or diplomacy.
The goal is not destruction, which is unprecedented good news.
After his reminder, the president also reacted.
Weak humans gained a glimmer of hope.
They looked at the dragon, how should they communicate?
...
