Chapter 1919 Regretful Fate
And Kanus' revenge was far from over.
Almost at the same time that Lu Siya fled back to Dragon City, a 'suicide squad' secretly set off from Picturesque Orchid Lake and sneaked into Dragon City like a shadow.
At that time, the Dragon City civilization and the Turan civilization were still nominal allies. The economic and trade exchanges between the two sides were very close. In each other's territory, there were a large number of merchants, foreign students, military liaison officers, and even combat professionals from the other side.
With the help of the Turan orcs who lived in Dragon City, although the suicide squad did not lock onto Lu Siya, they easily found the half-public headquarters of the Eye of Chaos and launched an attack that shocked the entire Dragon City.
Four members of the suicide squad successfully hijacked two armored airships loaded with a lot of solid crystal fuel and crashed into the Eye of Chaos' headquarters.
Taking advantage of the earth-shattering explosion in their headquarters, where everything was burning, the buildings nearby were tilting and collapsing under the influence of the shock wave, and the smoke covering the entire block, the remaining members of the suicide squad launched an indiscriminate massacre on everyone within their sight. It did not matter whether they were the staff of the Eye of Chaos or innocent civilians.
This massacre was the most tragic attack Dragon City had ever suffered since it was built.
As the enemy, the Holy Light faction had meticulously planned, repeatedly infiltrated, and focused their attacks over the past few decades. However, they had never caused such huge casualties in the densely populated cities under the command of the Dragon City civilization.
After the incident, it was estimated that at least three thousand citizens of Dragon City had died in this terrorist attack.

Nearly ten thousand people, while heavily wounded, had also inhaled the toxic cancer-causing substances released from the incomplete combustion of buildings and crystals. Suffering from irreversible sequela, they died one after another in the following year.
Due to the special nature of the attack's location, a large number of secret organizations of the nine great families were set up around the headquarters of the Eye of Chaos. Most of the people who lived and worked here were the elites of Dragon City who were in the prime of their lives.
The economic losses and collateral effects brought about by this had reached an incalculable astronomical figure.
When the smoke and the pungent smell of blood spread throughout the entire Other World, all the members of the Dragon City civilization and the Turan civilization realized that the alliance between them that fought side by side was gone forever.
From this moment on, the descendants of Earth and the Turan orcs were mortal enemies.
The internal war of the Chaos faction erupted in a day.
This was because their actual control areas were in a state of overlapping.
The Dragon City civilization and the Turan civilization were like gladiators who had one arm tied to the other while the other held a dagger dipped in poison and locked the other's heart.
As soon as this civil war broke out, it became white-hot.
The most pitiful ones were the students, businessmen, engineers, and even military liaison officers stationed in the other party's territory.
They were all labeled as "spies" and "assassins," and they were imprisoned, abused, and tortured.
The Chaos Civil War had become so intense in just a few days that both sides had to urgently transfer a large number of elite forces from the frontlines against the Holy Light faction to return to their hometown to fill the heavily damaged defense line.
The lions who had been through hundreds of battles and had every chance to make contributions and create glory were now reduced to mountains of corpses and seas of blood in the bloody mill that was running out one after another.
Meng Chao, who was commanding the battle at the front line, finally learned the truth from his ashen-faced subordinates and even Lu Siya herself.
He was so shocked that he did not have the time to reprimand his subordinates and Lu Siya.
To preserve the fruits of victory to the greatest extent, he took the risk of being cursed and even nailed to the pillar of shame in history. Through a secret channel, he contacted Doomsday Wolf Kanus and told him that the assassination of the highest leader of the Turan civilization was not his intention. The two sides were entangled so deeply that if they continued to suffer heavy losses, they would die together.
Therefore, no matter how angry Kanus was, he should consider the big picture and give peace and victory a chance.
Kanus told Meng Chao honestly that he was not as angry as he appeared to be.
In fact, he had long predicted the possibility of the alliance breaking down between them and was prepared to be backstabbed by his allies.
In fact, he had been training his men since a long time ago and had meticulously planned an assassination against Meng Chao. The suicide squad that had infiltrated Dragon City and carried out their revenge was originally meant to assassinate Meng Chao.
However, he did not expect the Dragon City people to be so stupid. They could not wait to make a move before the Holy Light faction was completely destroyed.
However, his emotions and will were not important.
Since they had already started a war, it was bound to be a battle to the death.
The die had been rolled. Even if he and Meng Chao shook hands and made peace in front of everyone, or even if they lay on the same bed, it would be impossible to stop the wheels of the civil war from continuing to rumble forward until one side was completely crushed.
"You and I both know that the Turan civilization and the Dragon City civilization will never be allies forever. We are destined to betray each other sooner or later."
Kanus said to Meng Chao with an almost cold calmness, "It doesn't matter if you were the one who personally led the assassination, or whether you were the one who ordered it, but it has dealt a huge blow to my dignity as the King of Turan.
"As you know, Picturesque Orchid Lake has always been a place where the strong prey on the weak. The winner is king, and we value honor more than victory.
"If I remain indifferent to such a despicable assassination, not to mention the chiefs and experts of the other four families, I will be regarded as a weak coward or even a vassal of the Dragon City civilization. Even the wolves and tigers of the Gold Clan will no longer obey my orders wholeheartedly.
"To maintain my dignity and status, I had no choice but to take revenge at all costs.
"Since this revenge has caused such serious consequences, there must be a lot of uncompromising people in your Dragon City civilization who are furious. They will definitely not sit idly by and watch us shake hands and make peace.
"Under such circumstances, pushing forward the so-called 'peace process' by force will not only be useless, but will also further damage our prestige. The ambitious generals, chiefs, and independent experts under our command will only escalate the scale, intensity, and cruelty of the war in order to completely destroy the hope of peace.
"So, regretfully, my brother, perhaps this is our fate and even the fate of our civilizations."
