In a quaint ancient estate far within the imperial capital,
four elderly men with white hair and serious expressions were seated in the courtyard.
"When will the Central King arrive?"
One of the elders asked in a deep voice, breaking the silence of the courtyard.
Another raised his eyebrows and replied solemnly, "He's on the way, should be arriving soon."
"Creak!"
As his words fell, a sharp sound of brakes echoed from outside the courtyard.
Then, a tall figure strode into the courtyard—a man, nearly six-foot-three, burly and with a resolute face.
"Central King!"
Upon seeing the middle-aged man, all four elders rose to their feet and respectfully said.
The Central King nodded slightly and spoke, "Elders, there's no need for such courtesy. What matter required such urgent summoning?"
The Dragon Kingdom was vast, not only featuring four major war zones in the southeast, northwest, and central regions represented by the imperial capital.
