A Wizard’s Secret - Chapter 1001 - Candora Trio-Lords!
Doomsday City, despite its name and Doomsday’s presence, did not contain any aura of bloodshed. On the contrary, it was a peaceful city with bustling trade.
Currently, the biggest castle in Doomsday City had a tense environment. Here, there was not a single guard in place. The entire castle seemed almost deserted.
There were five strange men in the castle. Anyone familiar with Holy Dragon Empire’s rebel army forces would be astonished because these five were the strongest rebel army leaders.
Among them, Doomsday was seated at the top. Below him were the Phantom King, the Shadow King, the Liberator, and the Nine-lives Werewolf. These top five rebel army leaders controlled most of the rebel forces. Their combined force was immensely powerful and posed the most prominent threat to the Holy Dragon royal family.
Moreover, all of them were top-level full-shifter existences. Their Supreme Talents had been honed to the utmost limit. Each of them was evenly matched with Farron.
Seeing that these five people had gathered in Doomsday City, they must be discussing a major issue.
Doomsday was the first to speak. “Everyone, I’m honored that you came here today. Now, the time has come. We’ve conquered the entire Holy Dragon Empire, some small territories notwithstanding. Only Holy Dragon City hasn’t been conquered. Holy Dragon City is the essence of the Holy Dragon royal family. Just one or two of us wouldn’t be able to conquer Holy Dragon City. Therefore, only by joining forces and working together, we’ll have hopes of conquering Holy Dragon City. If we succeed, everyone will get what they wish for. Furthermore, the Holy Dragon Empire will be divided into five sections. For the next hundred years, there mustn’t be any conflict between us. What do you think?

Doomsday voiced out his proposal. The reason he had gathered the five main rebel army leaders was to discuss the final battle. As long as they could conquer Holy Dragon City, the Holy Dragon Empire would be their dominion in the future.
Thinking of the prospect, the five rebel army leaders were somewhat excited. This was because as long as Holy Dragon City remained standing, it was a potential threat to them. All of them knew that the Holy Dragon royal family was not as weak as they seemed on the surface.
Nevertheless, the five main rebel army leaders knew the royal family’s true strength. Hence, the glamorous-looking and androgynous-sounding Phantom King spoke shrilly, “Doomsday, hehe, who doesn’t know that the Holy Dragon royal family is hiding the head of the Sacred Lion Beast? Tsk, there are also those old folks who are kept under wraps by the royal family – none of them are half-assed opponents. If we’re not careful, we might even be in danger.”
Although the Shadow King was not well-liked, his words were on-point. The royal family had never been docile. All of them knew the royal family’s prowess. It appeared that the royal family, too, had been amassing their strength. As soon as they had sufficient strength, they would possess utterly crushing abilities.
“Gentlemen, the royal family is indeed difficult to deal with but to be fair, we don’t know what the royal family is up to. We only know that the royal family seems to be amassing their strength. If we wait for them to finish amassing their strength, it could be potentially disastrous for us. Moreover, this attack won’t just be comprised by the five of us.”
When Doomsday finished speaking, everyone had a look of surprise. Among the rebel armies in the Holy Dragon Empire, only the five of them had reached the same level. As for the ordinary full-shifters, regardless of number, their presence was inconsequential.
“Three of you, please come out.”
As soon as Doomsday spoke, three men in long golden robes emerged from behind the main hall. However, if one were to look closely, they would be baffled to discover that all three of them looked the same.
These three identical men exuded an imposing aura that, even without saying a word, inspired foreboding in the hearts of those present.
“Candora Trio-Lords? I didn’t expect that even the Candora Empire would intervene!”
The white-robed Liberator, who had not spoken previously, gazed sharply, almost as if there was a tinge of resentment and dissatisfaction.
The men known as Candora Trio-Lords smiled. “Liberator, you also originated from the Candora Empire but there were some unfortunate mishaps. The royal family expresses our regrets.”
The Liberator came from the Candora Empire. Most probably, there was some conflict between him and the Candora royal family.
“Hehe, Candora Trio-Lords, if the Candora Empire is intervening, then we’ll have to be more careful.”
The Shadow King replied acerbically. The rebel army leaders were not very fond of the Candora Empire. After all, during the Holy Dragon Empire’s most glorious era, its power was almost enough to dominate the Candora Empire. Many conflicts had erupted between the two empires and there was even a “blood grudge” between them.
This time, the Holy Dragon Empire was strife with internal conflict. The empire was severely fractured and was currently at its weakest state. For the Candora Empire to intervene now meant that they were trying to infiltrate the Holy Dragon Empire amid the chaos. So, even if the rebel army leaders succeeded in conquering Holy Dragon City, they might have to face the Candora Empire’s army next.
Hence, these rebel army leaders were unhappy about the Candora Empire’s participation.
“The Candora Empire only wants the head of the Sacred Lion Beast! We will not touch the rest of the bounty such as the royal family treasure chest. Moreover, we promise that we won’t invade the Holy Dragon Empire within a hundred years. How about that?”
The man who appeared to be the leader of the Candora Trio-Lords spoke.
“The Candora Empire truly has an enormous appetite. Right at the beginning, you’ve already demanded the head of the Sacred Lion Beast. Of all the empires on the mainland, only the Holy Dragon Empire has the head of the Sacred Lion Beast! You’re snatching the most precious treasure just like that. How can that be?”
The Liberator was the first to object, followed by nods of agreement from the other rebel army leaders. All of them coveted the head of the Sacred Lion Beast. After all, the head of the Sacred Lion Beast would allow them to level-up and decipher the secrets of the sacred beasts.
At their level, the only valuable reference material to help level-up was the legendary sacred beasts. Even though the Holy Dragon royal family had not been able to decipher the secret of the sacred beast despite possessing it for so many years, and the chance was only one in a million, these rebel army leaders would not give up.
The Candora Trio-Lords furrowed their brows. They had already expected that it would not be easy.
“Since all of you disagree, then we’ll do it this way. First, we conquer Holy Dragon City and wipe out the Holy Dragon royal family. Then, we’ll each rely on our skills to determine who gets the head of the Sacred Lion Beast. How about that?”
The Candora Trio-Lords seemed extremely confident to suggest such a proposal. After all, the five rebel army leaders held an advantage in terms of numbers.
Doomsday finally said, “Gentlemen, I think this is a good proposal. With the addition of the Candora Trio-Lords, we’ll have eight ultimate contenders in total. Even if Holy Dragon City has those old folks under wraps, they won’t be able to do much. Holy Dragon City must fall!”
Doomsday categorized all the contenders at their level as ultimate contenders because they no longer had any room to move forward. Each of them had reached their ultimate limits. The only competition was in terms of Supreme Talents.
Doomsday’s statement enticed the rebel army leaders. All of them were very confident in their abilities and were convinced that they would not lose. As long as they got rid of the ultimate contenders from the Holy Dragon royal family, the entire Holy Dragon Empire would collapse in an instant. Then, they would each cut-up a territory and establish five smaller kingdoms.
Perhaps, if they were lucky, they could even get their hands on the head of the Sacred Lion Beast to be studied further. Then, like the ancestors of the Holy Dragon royal family, they could use the head of the Sacred Lion Beast to dominate the entire Holy Dragon Empire!
Seeing the fiery heat in the eyes of those present, Doomsday and the Candora Trio-Lords smiled. They knew that no one could resist the temptation…
