Dragon Monarch System
chapter-344

Far from the Istarin Empire's capital, on a remote island that happens to be the Istarin Empire's territory, Aditya, Watson, Percy, and 10 soldiers had come here.

The main reason, Aditya chose this island is because no one lives on this island. Around 6 or 7 years ago, a volcano erupted on his island. The volcano destroyed everything. Around 5,000 original inhabitants died while the other 4,000 original inhabitants of this island managed to escape.

The volcanic eruption destroyed everything. No living being was spared. In the end, what remained was a barren land covered in Volcanic ashes. There was no sign of living beings on this island.

Aditya and Watson are on the sidelines while Percy who was the 3-star blacksmith of the Istarin Empire started working on setting up the Solar Cannon. The 10 soldiers that came with them, helped Percy.

Meanwhile, Aditya and Watson observed the Solar Cannon with deep interest.

Unlike normal cannons, this cannon did not have wheels. The barrel of the cannon was twice big compared to normal cannons. Unlike normal cannons, this cannon did not have any gun power, ignition chamber, and Cannonball. Instead, in place of the gun power, and the ignition chamber, a yellowish glowing stone was placed.

These stones were solar stones. Solar stones worked just like Lunar Stone. In the darkness, the Solar stones would glow like Sun.

"Your Majesty, the Solar Cannon is ready." Aditya stepped towards the Solar cannon.

"How do I use it?" Aditya asked while staring at the Solar Cannons.

"It's really simple. Your Majesty just needs to place your hand at the back of the Barrel. As long as even a tiny amount of Mana is pushed inside, the Cannon will activate. Unlike normal Cannons, the Solar Cannon harvest energy from Solar stones. To charge the Cannon with enough solar energy, 30 seconds is required."

Aditya put his hand on the Barrel and then pushed a little bit of his Mana on the barrel. A second later, a yellow ball of energy started forming at the Muzzle of the Cannon. At the same time, the whole barrel of the Cannon started glowing. With each passing second, the glow brighter. The yellow energy ball also started getting bigger and much brighter.

30 seconds later, the solar cannon was fully charged.

"Your Majesty, please take your hand off the barrel to allow Cannon to fire." Aditya did what Percy told him.

Just as he took his hand off the barrel, a yellow beam of light was shot out from the Solar Cannon. Under Aditya, Watson, and the soldier's shocked gaze, the beam of light hit the mountain that was located on the other side of the island.

Boooooooooooom!!!!!!!!!

A huge explosion took place. The entire island was shaking. The shockwave generated by the explosion sent a large amount of dust and pebbles into the sky.

"Your Majesty, what do you think?" Percy asked while staring at his creation. He was really proud of what he had created. This was his best creation.

"Amazing" Watson said while staring at the mountain which now had been destroyed completely. In place of the mountain, a huge crater remained.

"The beam of light can travel up to 5 Km. If its anywhere outside of 5 Km, then the beam of Light loses its energy and power. If the enemy is within the 5 Km range and was hit with a beam of light, then it will land serious damage."

"The Solar Cannon is really easy to use. Unlike Traditional Cannons, this Cannon is more effective and also not that costly." Unlike Mana stones, Solar stones were very cheap. Now that Percy had managed to build a weapon that runs by harvesting the solar energy within the solar stones, the Istarin wouldn't have to worry about the cost of the materials.

"Percy, How many Solar Cannons have you built so far?" Aditya can tell that the power behind this shot was enough to seriously injure even a Beginner 5th-order cultivator. Just a single shot of this cannon would be enough to wipe out thousands of soldiers.

"Your Majesty, unfortunately, up until recently, I was perfecting this Solar cannon. Even now I can feel that the power of this Cannon can be increased if I managed to reduce the charging time. I only have built one Solar Cannon. To build multiple of these Solar Cannons, I would need funds and also manpower."

"Watson, give whatever Percy needs to make more of these Solar Cannons."

"Understood, Your Majesty."

"Now that I have seen the power of the Solar Cannon, it's time to head back." Aditya teleported everyone back to the Dragon Palace.

Meanwhile, after Aditya left, the volcano that destroyed this island had activated once again. The shockwave from the explosion caused another eruption to occur. This time, the Volcanic Eruption was even stronger than the previous times.

Scene change_____

Meanwhile, somewhere else,

An old man wearing a dark cloak entered a tailoring shop. The man walked inside the shop. He then stopped in front of one female tailor.

Noticing the old man..."Hello Sir, How can I help you?" The woman asked with a professional Smile.

The old man silently placed a golden coin that had Skeleton's face on it. Seeing the coin, the woman took the coin and put it in her pocket.

"Please come with me, Sir." The woman then led the old man to an ungrounded chamber. The underground Chamber of the tailoring shop was dark and gloomy. The old man can see many Assassins idly sitting.

As the woman bought the old man, all the assassins looked at the old man. Feeling everyone's gaze on him, the old man shivered in fear. He began to sweat in nervousness. This was a place that he would never want to return to again.

The woman bought the old man to the receptionist who was a beautiful seductive Succubus.

"Target?" The Succubus professionally asked without wasting any time. Indicating that she has been doing this job for a long time now.

"Istarin Emperor." The old man replied in a nervous tone.

Hearing this the Succubus showed a surprised look. "The Istarin Emperor's head is very costly. Not everyone can afford it."

"100 million royal gold coins."

The Succubus shook her hand with a smile. "Too little." Normally 100 Million royal gold coins would be considered a huge amount of money. But the target was really strong and it would nearly impossible task to kill him.

The old man gritted his teeth before adding more money. "500 million royal gold coins."

The Succubus licked her lips in excitement. The receptionist loved money more than anything. Hearing that the old man was willing to give 500 million royal gold coins, had made her excited and horny.

"Please wait here for some time."

"Why?" The old man asked in fear. He didn't want to stay in a place where he would be surrounded by Assassins.

"I will have to meet My Queen and get her approval on the Mission before the bounty can be made official." The old man nodded his head.

Seeing the old man look scared, the Succubus felt pity for him. "Don't worry, no one in this place would harm you. We don't harm our clients. Just order a drink or two and relax. If everything goes perfectly, then I will return within 30 minutes."

Scene change_____

Using a hidden teleportation array, the receptionist went to see her Queen.

Knock! Knock!

"What is it?" The Succubus heard a cold voice.

"My Queen, we have a 500 million royal gold coin bounty on the Istarin Emperor's head. Should we accept the Mission?" The Succubus asked as the last time someone put a bounty on Aditya, her queen had rejected accepting the Mission.

"No. Send our client back. We don't accept missions on the Istarin Emperor." The Queen replied in a stern tone. For some reason, she sounded really displeased.

"Alright." The Succubus sighed feeling depressed. She didn't understand why her Queen rejected such a big amount.

A few minutes later, the Succubus returned.

"My apologizes but we can't accept this Mission." The Succubus said in an apologetic tone.

Hearing this the old man was surprised. As he was about to leave, an Assassin who had heard what the receptionist said followed him. As the man exited the tailoring shop, the Assassin put his hand on the old man's shoulder.

"Who is it?" The old man was frightened.

"Do you want the Istarin Emperor dead?" The Assassin asked.

The old man nodded his head. "I will do the job for 100 million royal gold coins."

"But....."

"Keep this a secret between us. Follow me. This place has too many ears and hidden eyes." The old man followed the Assassin. Soon both of them left the city and went somewhere else.

Really Thank you very much to all those who sends support with valuable golden tickets. I hope we can keep it up!!!
