"You mean... the hundreds of private soldiers of the White family were eaten clean by a group of goblins retrieved by the Hugh Wen's family in just a few minutes, right?"

After the disappearance of the Dragon Rider Commander Retuss, General Zuode, the undisputed supreme leader of the Imperial Military, sat on his high-back seat, savoring the bright red wine while listening to his subordinates' reports.

"Yes, sir, those goblins are very weird. Their power is incredibly powerful, and there are a few suspected hilly monsters among them."

Kneeling in front of the general was a dark walker covered in black robe. Although he did not exert any force, a trace of black air still emanated from him. It can be seen that if he did not deliberately suppress it, his body would disappear into the air on its own. This is a true "shadow" who has lived in the dark for a long time than under the light.

"Since you said that those goblins are wrong, why didn't you secretly catch one or two of them? Just let those monsters dig and study them, and you'll know everything."

"Sir, I'm sorry, I do want to try to catch one or two, but when I approached Mandala Castle, some of the goblins actually became aware of my existence. If I hadn't seen the opportunity quickly, I might have even been discovered by them?"

"Discover you? How is this possible? Even if I wasn't careful, I wouldn't have been able to detect your existence within a distance of one or two hundred meters. How could a group of goblins have such ability?" General Zuode's eyebrows finally frowned. He slowly lowered the red wine glass, looked at the dark walker below with a cold look, and said, "Are you sure what you said is true?"

The dark walker's head was lowered, his face was almost about to touch the ground, and his shoulders began to tremble. He said in a panic: "Sir, the villain must not dare to talk nonsense to you. Someone in those goblins really noticed my existence, and there were more than one. This was definitely not my illusion, it felt like he was noticed by a scout with special racial talents in exploration. By the way, these goblins did not participate in the battle, nor did they eat anyone. They seemed to be responsible for the alert."

"Scout?" General Zuode keenly captured the word. You mean: "Can you feel the breath of a soldier from these goblins?"

"Yes... this is indeed very similar to what I felt when I was discovered when I was exploring the Dragoon Regiment's garrison."

"League... Goblins... are getting more and more interesting. It seems that even if the Hugwen family loses Amanda, they can still provide me with some fun. By the way, what about Baroque? I send him to protect Robin. Even if he can't complete the mission, at least he can fight alone."

The man in black trembled even more and said, "Mr. Baroque could not come out either. I was too far away and could only barely see Michel, the patriarch of the Hughwen family, bringing a child and a goblin into the big house. It seemed that a short battle had occurred. Lord. Baroque should have either died in battle or been subdued..."

The general put his chin on his face and stopped talking for a long time. After a while, he seemed to suddenly remember something and asked, "My daughter, have you found her?"

The man in black seemed not to have expected the general to change his topic so quickly. He was stunned for a moment before he realized it and immediately replied: "We have mastered the whereabouts of the eldest lady, but...

"Hmph... Is it true that I am hiding beside that fat female monster..."

"Did you know everything?"

"She has the courage to return to Black Mountain, and she must have some support. That girl knows his father's true strength, so she will definitely find a backer that makes me afraid to appear. In the current imperial capital, no one can make me worry about anything except that fat girl."

"Sir, what should we do? We cannot get close to the camp where His Highness the Desert King is."

"Let that girl do it herself. Isn't she still in the rebellious period now? Hahahaha... It will take some time to let her know what the consequences will be if she doesn't act according to the script written by her father."

After saying these words, the general stood up, pushed open the door and walked out. Outside the door was a vast fully enclosed square, with a huge space of more than 300 meters in length, width and height. There were no windows around, and the light was dim. The depressing and closed atmosphere seemed to be deep underground.

In the center of this square was imprisoned a woman, a beautiful green-haired woman. She was wearing a broken ornate dress, but her limbs were penetrated by huge iron nails, and she was hung in the air by exaggerated chains as thick as a waist. The woman was gasping for breath, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down her hair to the ground. She looked extremely painful, but she seemed to be unable to even be in a coma.

When the general appeared here, several old men wearing magician robes were immediately trotting over like factory technicians, standing behind the general, looking like listening and waiting for arrangements at any time.

"How is the progress? When will this stupid dragon be able to unseal and restore its original form?"

The older magician immediately replied: "Sir, the magic circle is operating normally at this moment. He has been drawing the magic essence of the jade dragon Isera at a speed of 80,000 units per day. At this progress, he finally reached the requirement and successfully cracking the seal in her body should be too late, but..."

"What's wrong?"

"It's just that doing so has a huge burden on her body. She may not be able to hold on at any time and die one step before the seal is broken."

“…How much is this chance?”

"About half..."

"Then prepare some first aid measures in advance and give her some strong medicine. The kind of potion that can strongly stimulate vitality is effective for the dragon clan. No need to consider side effects, as long as she can complete the ritual alive. In addition, let the skinning craftsmen prepare in advance, the body materials of the seventh-level dragon must not be wasted."

"...Sir, if you really do this, will you completely anger the Dragoon regiment? After all, according to the plan, we will dismantle Mrs. Iserra in public, but she is nominally the legal wife of Retusus and the Marquis of the Empire."

"Dragon Cavalry Regiment?" When talking about this name that had been pressing on his head for decades, General Zuod suddenly showed a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he heard him say, "Their troubles cannot be solved so quickly. This time the enemy is difficult to deal with. More importantly, this battle is not easy to fight without Retusus. And once our plan is completed smoothly, let alone those dead kids who don't know their surname on the big lizard, even if Retusus himself can escape from that place and return here, I can also completely solve him."

When General Zuode spoke, he seemed to know the situation of the Dragon Cavalry regiment, and even had some knowledge of the whereabouts of Rettuss.

The ravaged and cruel green-haired woman in the middle of the square was Goron's adopted mother, the emerald dragon Isera. When she heard General Zuod's name appearing in the mouth of General Zuod, her shoulders suddenly trembled. The woman struggled to raise her face. She looked at the murderer who tortured her in the distance, but there was no hatred in her eyes, but there was a hint of pleading.

"Zode, don't forget to promise me before, my...my children...including my adopted son Goria, if you hurt any of them, I swear in the name of the ancient dragon god, and I will definitely make you unable to die a bad death!"

General Zuode also glanced at him and looked at the legendary dragon head-on. He suddenly smiled: "Madame Isera, it is rare that you cooperate with me like this. In return, let me tell you one thing. Your adopted son, Goria Huwen, has returned to this imperial capital. His purpose is to obtain your soul blood from me and to rescue his real mother."

Iserra was stunned, a hint of sadness and grief flashed across her face, but soon these emotions turned into a hint of relief.

"That's right... He has found his biological mother, that's good... If I can help, at least... it's worth it to be dead..."
