Chapter 1866
“Breaking news!
‘The Dragon King, James, has reappeared in the Southern Plains and arrested more than ten generals, including a one-star general.”
The news about what happened in the Southern Plains quickly spread throughout the country and caused an uproar.
Talk of it spread quickly all over the country.
Before the public had a chance to calm themselves, James appeared on a social media platform for the first time and posted an announcement.
‘The Southern Plains declares its independence.”
At the same time, journalists from all over the country gathered in an eighteen-story building’s top floor at the center of Dragonville in the Southern Plains.
James’ voice rang out clearly.
It was a live broadcast.
Everyone from the country and even all over the world was able to watch it.
The news James released online spread like wildfire, and many people tuned into the live broadcast.
“What happened?”
“Everything is peaceful now, so why did Dragonville suddenly declare its independence?
Why did it suddenly become its own nation?”
“Isn’t James Sol’s Dragon King? Dragonville is part of Sol, isn’t it? How can they suddenly declare independence?”
After the news was released, James became the center of discussion.
All major websites and forums were talking about the news.
On a particular online forum, things seemed to be taking a bad turn.
“I’ll be the first to object!”
“James, you bastard, what are you trying to do?”
On the internet, many people chastised James and his decision.
Many people demanded the King step forward and explain the situation.
Some people also suggested that troops should be dispatched to raid Dragonville and take it back by force.
The internet was flooded with dissatisfaction about James.
James chose to ignore these displeased voices since it was useless to explain anything to them now. Time would prove his actions were done with the people’s interests in mind, and they would understand everything he did was for Soleans and all of mankind.
After Dragonville was declared as a country, James began to get to work.
He recruited some top architects and military experts from Sol.
James was ready to take action.
He was about to rebuild Dragonville and create a brand new country of his own.
Slowly, the opposition toward James began to die down.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed since Dragonville was declared as a country.
During this month, James had everything prepared.
He had sufficient funds and relevant experts on board.
James stared at a blueprint inside a temporary palace in Dragonville.
The design used Dragonville as the country’s center, and a palace would be built at its heart. Buildings would be constructed spread out from the palace.
An underground city would also be built since there was no telling what would happen during the apocalypse and measures had to be taken to ensure the people could weather the worst to come.
“James, something’s happened.”
Seeing Henry rush in frantically, James put down the blueprint. He looked at Henry and asked, “What’s wrong? What happened?”
Henry said solemnly, “Something has happened in Mount Bane.”
“What?”
