After leaving Ofia’s palace, Lei Yuan wanted to head out as soon as possible, but he was stopped by Lotti.
“Why are you in such a hurry? Go gather the army,” Lotti said seriously. “We’ll set off tomorrow morning.”
‘Tomorrow morning? Now that you know that your country is under attack, shouldn’t we set off immediately?’
“Travelling takes time. If we don’t leave now, can you be sure that, by the time we arrive, the city gates of your country will not have been breached?” Lei Yuan probed.
“That’s why I told you to quickly gather the army! We don’t need to hurry,” Lotti said anxiously. “The teleportation gate can send us back to my country instantly, but there can be nothing wrong with the state of our army.”
The Aifell Empire was the only one that could save Lotti’s country now. If something happened, and they could not get there in one piece…
“Understood.”
‘So, a teleportation gate actually exists.’ Lei Yuan had never heard of such a thing before.
He immediately went to the military barracks to mobilize an army and gave them many important instructions. Of course, these soldiers were the former enemy soldiers he had charmed before. Even now, they still held an immense admiration for him.
“Radiant Knight! You actually came to the barracks today! Are we going to war? We haven’t had a war in so long that our hands are itching!”
Because they came from the enemy country, they were not sent to fight in the last war. That was probably because the kingdom was worried that they would rebel on the spot.
This time, when Lei Yuan came in person, they believed that they were going to battle for real.
“Everything looks good. Get ready tonight. We’ll be going to the Hundred Beasts Kingdom to provide reinforcements.” Lei Yuan gave the order, and the soldiers had no objections. They began packing up at once.
However, there were quite a few people in their army, and when they were done preparing, it was already the next morning. They gathered together, and Lotti used a teleportation array to teleport everyone to a small city on the border of the Hundred Beasts Kingdom. Their allied forces were desperately struggling against the enemy, and it was obvious that they could not hold on for much longer.
Lei Yuan immediately ordered his soldiers to charge in. He also sent Draco to interrupt their attacks.
The enemy’s army was in shock, as they did not expect a whole army to appear out of nowhere.
“What happened? Where did these reinforcements come from? Didn’t I tell you to use a magic array to prevent their reinforcements from coming?!” The invading army’s general was very angry when he saw that the formation was broken.
“General, I don’t know what’s going on, either! Without their mage, Lotti, no one can break my magic array… unless she’s actually back.”
However, the general was unable to catch sight of Lotti’s figure in the crowd. Instead, he saw a man riding on the back of a dragon.
He knew about the warrior they called Lei Yuan. He was the person who instigated a large number of soldiers to defect. Today, he was actually here!
For some reason, the general thought that Lei Yuan’s face was quite handsome. “Everyone, calm down! Victory is right in front of us!”
The general wanted the soldiers to break through the city gates, but no one was listening to his orders anymore.
The reason for that was because… everyone’s attention was drawn toward Lei Yuan.
“Although this is my first time seeing him, my impression of him is that he’s very capable! Such a person is qualified to be my general!”
“Of course, he’s capable. He can even control an evil dragon. How could his ability be lacking? Why don’t we follow him?”
“Let’s go, let’s go! I’m not fighting the Hundred Beasts Kingdom anymore!”
The general was speechless and stupefied.
What was going on? Why did his army betray him?! These were the men who were most loyal to him!
However, there were still soldiers who shouted at him, “General, come with us! Don’t just stand there by yourself!”
The general did not reply. What shocked him was that he was really tempted to follow Lei Yuan.
What just happened? The battle was reversed in the blink of an eye.
The allied soldiers at the city gates did not know how to react to what had happened.
“What’s going on? Why is everyone running in the same direction?”
“There’s an evil dragon rampaging over there. There’s no way that it’s here to help us, right? If this continues, we really won’t be able to hold on any longer.”
“No, look over there. Isn’t that Mage Lotti?!”
“I see her! She’s brought reinforcements to help us! We’re saved!”
Lei Yuan sat on the dragon’s back and circled above the army. The soldiers were all infected by his Charm and submitted to him.
Lei Yuan could feel power coming from all directions.
It had been a long time since he experienced this feeling. Indeed, he needed to move to a new region to get stronger. If he had known earlier, he would not have stayed in the palace for so long.
In the end, with Lei Yuan’s level increasing, even the general could not help but choose to submit to Lei Yuan. This made the enemy behind the scenes very angry.
“What do we do now? Did we fail just like that?” One of the subordinates asked an authoritative figure nearby, “Should we…”
The man waved his hand to signal an affirmation.
After subduing all the soldiers, Lei Yuan prepared to descend and inquire about the current situation. However, before he could land, he sensed danger.
He raised his head and saw a dragon rushing over from not far away.
“Be careful! This dragon is very strong. You can’t beat it head-on.”
Perhaps because it thought Lei Yuan was rich enough, the system began to provide information on its own.
‘What’s going on? Could the enemy have more soldiers hiding somewhere?’
It seemed that only that one dragon was coming. But Lei Yuan realized that this dragon was different from the other dragons he had seen so far.
“That is the Infernal Dragon,” the system hurriedly explained. “It is very strong. With your current ability, you won’t be able to subdue it.”
‘Damn it!’
The Infernal Dragon’s attacks were extremely swift and powerful, so much so that Lei Yuan had to retreat.
He did not forget to shout at the soldiers, “Retreat!”
However, he was already too late. The Infernal Dragon had swept across a large area and knocked many of the soldiers to the ground. Without any obstacles, the Infernal Dragon began to attack the city gates.
Originally, the guards at the city gates were already in short supply. When the Infernal Dragon attacked, they never stood a chance.
Lotti was so angry that her eyes almost turned red. “I’ll fight you to the death!”
She was willing to die to take down the Infernal Dragon.
However, Lei Yuan stopped her before she could rush in. “Don’t go. I have a plan.”
“What do you have in mind?” Lotti asked anxiously. “Now that my country is being threatened, you—”
“Listen to me. Retreat with the soldiers. Don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen to your country.”
For some reason, these words made Lotti feel relieved. She did as Lei Yuan asked.
When he saw that Lotti had brought the soldiers to safety, Lei Yuan took out his sealing artifact.
The system could not help but praise him, “Not bad, kid. You’re quite smart.”
It remembered that this magic artifact contained a subdued Hydra. It could also subdue the Infernal Dragon.
“Of course, don’t you know who I am?”
Lei Yuan immediately released the Hydra.
The Infernal Dragon was very strong, and it was impossible for him to subdue it by himself, so he sent the Hydra to fight it. After they wore each other down, Lei Yuan could then subdue both of them at once.
He could not completely control the Hydra at his current level.
The moment the Hydra was released, everyone was shocked.
