1632 Additional Reward 1
The Sovaria Kingdom's Queen covered her eyes from the dust as the dragon flew off to the sky. Her heart was still beating furiously, not expecting she would survive after seeing Queen Cecilia on top of the dragon. As the dust settled down, she looked up at the sky. The dragon was nowhere to be seen.
With a sigh, she glanced to the side. Her husband along with his commanders were frozen in the ice tablet. The ice tablet was thirty meters tall, and the ice had some lens that magnified her husband inside the chest.
Her husband's terror face was displayed along with the headless body below the head. The dragon said that no one could break the ice. So yeah, the dragon preserved the dead bodies as a reminder for them, for the Kingdom of Sovaria for what they had done to the Kingdom of Ariot.
Then she sensed the tremor on the ground. An army was coming toward her. It was not like the army's late arrival would change anything. If the dragon could capture the commander and the vice commander at the main fort, then these soldiers would not be able to do anything to the dragon.
The Leader of the army rushed toward her, calling her name and her husband's name. The soldiers gasped in shock when they saw the three bodies inside the ice. The three bodies looked five times bigger, so everyone could see their King's dead bodies and head from a distance.
"Try to retrieve their bodies!" She ordered the leader to break the ice.
The Queen believed the dragon's words when the dragon said the ice could not be broken. This was just an attempt to satisfy her curiosity. The army barraged the ice with the fire spells, but it did not even melt the ice slightly. In fact, the temperature around here started getting colder because of the ice.
The ice could not be broken, and this would be an eternal reminder for the Kingdom of Sovaria for at least three generations.
*** ***Meanwhile, Herman and his team left the city and followed the dragon-like creature to an area. Tang Shaoyang did not tell him anything about where they were headed. The only instruction was to follow the creature named Maldros.
There were so many questions in his head, but he refrained himself from asking Maldros. About the eight-headed dragon, where Tang Shaoyang went, and where they were going.
While he could not hold those questions, not the same for his subordinates. Especially his youngest subordinate, Henry. The young man came closer to him and asked, "What do you think about that eight-headed dragon, Sir? Is that maybe The Kingdom Ariot's guardian beast?"
Henry shook his head, "No! That dragon is not the guardian beast. Those people would not be scared seeing the dragon if that's the case. And the Kingdom of Ariot would not lose the war as well with that fearful dragon. What do you think, Sir?"
Herman had the same thought as Henry. The dragon was not affiliated with the kingdom they served. He thought that the dragon appeared because they chose the hell difficulty. They had to fight the dragon for hell difficulty. However, the dragon did not come to attack them.
He had one more guess. The dragon was one of the Tang Shaoyang's summons. That was the logical explanation. Tang Shaoyang was not with them, and he was asked to go somewhere else. The more he thought about it, the more he believed that the eight-headed dragon was Tang Shaoyang's summon.
Herman did not want to believe it because that would make the gap between The United Sovereign and The Tang Empire widened even further. He had united North America, and yet, the gap between them widened further.
"We have arrived!"
Herman snapped out of his frustration when he heard Maldros' voice. He looked up and saw more of Tang Shaoyang's summons. He had seen some of them on the previous floor.
There were ten summons, and they were watching over thousands of people. That was right, he saw it right. More than a thousand people were captured and guarded by the nine summons.
Maldros looked at Herman, pointing at the captured people, "They are all Demi-God Ranks. My Master captured them for you all. There are three thousand and four hundred Demi-God Ranks. Each of you gets to kill two hundred of them."
Herman took a deep breath when he heard that. He did not want to believe Maldros, but his Detection just proved Maldros. The Detection revealed that everyone in his range was Demi-God Ranks. After ten people, he gave up and accepted that all of them were Demi-God Ranks.
Herman let out a bitter chuckle. This was just another hit to his face. Tang Shaoyang alone could capture three thousand and four hundred Demi-God Ranks. All of them were alive.
He then imagined what if Tang Shaoyang decided to take over The United Sovereign? The pitiful seventeen Demi-God Ranks were far from enough to face the Tang Empire.
"We are still far from them, and I think we have to stop putting the Tang Empire in comparison, Sir," Herman's trusted subordinate, General Advisor for The United Sovereign said the bitter truth, "Then that eight-headed dragon is Sir Tang Shaoyang's summon."
"Your subordinate is right. You should not use His Majesty as standard," Maldros chimed in, delivering an unnecessary jab to Herman, "He can kill you all by just standing still. Be grateful for his generosity, mercy, and…" The dragonewt came next to Herman, whispering while looking straight at Chief Mason, "And watch for your subordinate if you want to keep your kingdom intact."
Even though Maldros was not summoned, he saw everything. What the guards at the teleportation gate tried to do, and also this Chief Mason. He remembered what happened and reminded Herman out of kindness. Herman had been respectful toward his Master, hence he warned Herman about his subordinates' doing.
"That's just a reminder, not a threat. Go kill your share. You all have to kill our share before His Majesty returns."
