Dragon Who Controls Time

The middle-aged man was Earl Rhode of Maple City. He wasn't considered a great noble, but his status wasn't low. He had his own fief and a large number of industries.

He had left Maple City, which he had managed for a long time, in the middle of the night, because he had no other choice.

The previous Lord of Maple City, a great noble with the position of Duke, Earl Rhode's father, had recently reached the end of his life. Before his death, the Duke passed his position to his third son, and thus, the new Duke of Maple Leaf was born.

However, the children of the old Duke of Maple Leaf did not get along well.

For the sake of the Duke's position, there were countless open and secret arrows and schemes.

After decades of struggle, more than half of the 20 sons of the old Duke had died. Among the remaining sons, Earl Rhode was the most outstanding one. He managed the wine and silk industry in Maple City in an orderly manner and it was booming. However, the old Duke was biased.

Earl Rhode's looks were ordinary and could even be said to be a little ugly. He did not inherit the old Duke's handsome appearance.

The old Duke favored his third son, Thorin, who had inherited his outstanding looks.

Thorin's ability was slightly weaker than Rhode's, but not by much. He was much stronger than the other children of the old Duke and only weaker than Rhode. The two brothers had many conflicts, but because of the old Duke's favoritism, Thorin's power was strong enough to make up for the slight difference in ability and had always been stronger than Rhode.

Now, the old Duke had even passed the position of Duke directly to Thorin.

This made Rhode go crazy, but he had no choice.

After receiving the news, Rhode immediately left Maple City with his loved ones and children. He knew that Sorin, who was as ruthless as him, would definitely come after him.

After Sorin became the Duke of Maple Leaf, Rhode no longer had the capital to compete with him.

In order to preserve his life, he had no choice but to leave imaska. Although the Empire's territory was vast, there was no place for him now. The roads to other Empire cities had been blocked, and the falling star sea was the escape route that Rhode had long thought of.

He believed that he could rise again.

Not long after, Rhode's group entered the dragonjaw mountain range and continued to gallop along the rugged road. This place was no longer within the territory of the imaska Empire, but Rhode didn't let his guard down. Under his command, the group didn't slow down at all.

As time passed.

The night gradually brightened, and the sun was about to break. The light was about to dispel the darkness.

Earl Rhode's tense mood calmed down a little.

But then ...

A series of rumbling sounds came from afar.

Rhode's expression changed.

He could hear the roar that seemed to come from hell.

This was a terrifying weapon of the imaska Empire. The Titan engine released energy to support its tall body. Its entire body was equipped with all kinds of powerful and strange machinery and equipment. The steel-cast armor had an indestructible defense. They guarded various cities and were usually in a state of shutdown. Only the Duke medal could activate them.

This weapon was called the mechanical Titan.

It was one of the strange machines that the imaska Empire was proud of. Its terrifying firepower could easily defeat ordinary legendary creatures. It also had intelligence and could act alone without the control of a legendary master.

Rhode knew that he couldn't escape the moment he heard the explosion.

​ Whoosh ...

The vehicle was disturbed by external energy, and the high-speed vehicle came to an abrupt stop.

"My dear brother, where do you want to go?"

you didn't inform your younger brother before you left. Isn't that a little unreasonable? father has always taught us to love each other.

Sorin's voice sounded in Rhode's ears.

His expression was heavy as he pulled out a dagger and held it against his throat. His eyes revealed a look of hesitation and struggle.

If he fell into Sorin's hands, he would rather die than live.

"Rhode! Don't be like this."

please plead with Sorin. You are brothers after all, he will not make things difficult for us.

The Countess cried and hugged Rhode's arm that was holding the dagger.

Rhode looked at Leena, his beloved wife, and his children in silence.

He slowly put down the dagger and walked out of the carriage.

The guards beside him were only decorations in front of the mechanical Titan.

Rhode's strength as a high-level strange machinist wasn't enough for him to defeat the mechanical Titan, and he couldn't even escape.

He raised his head.

In his field of vision, there was a mechanical giant that was more than 20 meters tall. Its entire body was made of cold metal and looked extremely ferocious. Strange mechanical runes were everywhere and finally intertwined in the center of its chest, forming the symbol of the imaska Empire, an exquisite gear.

The roar of the Titan engine was like the roar of Thunder.

The strong wind pressure caused the surrounding trees to sway.

The forehead armor of the mechanical Titan opened, revealing Sorin's appearance.

He looked down from above with the expression of a Victor.

Sorin, let my wife and child go. I'll let you do whatever you want with me.

Rhode said in a deep voice.

To his surprise, Sorin nodded his head and agreed to his request.

"Of course,"

"I only want to kill you."

In the next second, the mechanical Titan's crystal-like eyes shot out beams of light, guiding Lina and Rhode's children to Sorin's side. Sorin's arm directly wrapped around the Countess's shoulder, and the Countess only gave a symbolic struggle.
