“What?”
The Eastern Hellhound and the other three had ruminated about that possibility.
Yet, these were their disciples.
They did not want to believe that the Northern Demon was right.
Thus, the moment they heard that their disciples were going to confess to them, they panicked.
Even the Dragonites panicked as well.
Our judgment has been wrong?
Is this for real?
“We’ll tell you everything! This is all our fault!”
Heracles was sobbing at that point.
The crowd was speechless at the sight.
Once again, Erudia fell silent.
Billions of people clenched their fists simultaneously.
“Spit it out!” one of the senior members of the Dragonites snapped.
“I’ll tell you everything!”
Eastern Beast then wiped the beads of cold sweat off his forehead.
“The Fusion Attack had been useless against the Northern Demon at the Ether training base. He was three times stronger than back then, and we were no match for him.”
“What?”
Everyone’s hearts skipped a beat.
The Northern Demon is really three times stronger than he used to be?
How can this be?
They nearly had a mental breakdown there and then.
It was as if someone had told them that the world they lived in was not the real world.
It was a disturbing reality, and some begin hyperventilating.
The heroes they adored were not the ones who eliminated the Northern Demon.
“We’re afraid of dying, so we ran. But as the Northern Demon was capable of catching up with us anytime, we made the Suicide Squad buy time for us by staying behind.”
“What? What the hell? Those are your comrades! They’re humans like you!”
The crowd nearly exploded in fury.
The Four Basilisks had made thousands of people sacrifice in exchange for their escape.
It was horrible.
“Continue,” the crowd gritted out.
“We weren’t the ones who defeated the Northern Demon. Someone else did. We only witnessed half of the battle.”
“Who was it?”
At that, everyone cast anxious gazes on them.
“We’re not sure, but they’re powerful. In the end, that person sacrificed his life to bring down the Northern Demon. At that time, tens of thousands of troops arrived. Back then, we could only say that we killed the Northern Demon. We didn’t dare to say that we were deserters nor confess that we’ve sacrificed thousands to escape death. In order to make sure that everyone believed that we were the ones to get rid of the Northern Demon, we killed all the witnesses.”
Without missing a beat, one of the senior members of the Dragonites asked, “So you killed all the captives?”
“Yes.”
“Then, you made over thirty members of the Suicide Squad who witnessed the scene out to be deserters to kill them?”
“Yes. We’ve already killed one of them.”
“You then forced the other members of the Suicide Squad to prove that you were the ones to kill the Northern Demon?”
“Yes.”
By then, everyone had to admit that what they had learned a while back was nothing but a lie.
Thump!
Upon learning the truth, the Five Dragons of Erudia all collapsed onto their knees.
It was a shocking revelation for all.
The heroes they worshipped were cowardly liars.
Everyone had been deceived.
The Four Basilisks had used dirty tricks to lie to the entire Erudia.
Until now, the Dragonites had never erred in their judgment.
Sadly, this was the biggest error they had made so far.
They were about to make the Four Basilisks Crown Kings.
If they were crowned as kings before the truth was revealed, Erudia would have turned into a laughingstock for all.
Their reputation would go down the gutters.
What was most horrifying was that the Five Dragons of Erudia never truly knew what kind of people their disciples were.
They finally realized that truth should not be based on the number of people.
At that moment, everyone was overwhelmed by upset feelings.
“Hahaha! This is hilarious.” Came the Northern Demon’s loud laugh.
“Erudia is nothing but a joke. Who is going to stop me now?”
