Upon learning the final result, those in the hall seemed even more silent than before.
If the story ends with General Vladimir's final sacrifice saving everyone...
This will be a story worthy of praise and admiration.
But... Erica du Chloe?
How was she able to stop that monster?
The truth ignited the doubts in the ministers' hearts, making it difficult for them to understand.
Regardless of the truth, Erica's disappearance is now an undeniable fact.
No one knows her current situation.
Their fate is unknown.
Silence reignited the tone of the court assembly. The emperor slowly raised his head, his expression revealing neither joy nor anger.
"How is General Vladimir in condition?"
"Your Majesty... the general is seriously injured, but his life is not in danger."
The emperor nodded and said calmly.
"There is no worry in the north at present, so send someone to summon him back to the capital."
"It's time for this old general to take a rest."
Having said that, he stood up in the hall.
He put his hands behind his back, stepped down from the throne, and slowly strolled down the steps.
The ministers immediately stood still, not daring to utter a sound, and could only stare blankly at the emperor who looked old and frail.
Suddenly, Aubrey's low, hoarse voice rang out:
"What's the name of that monster? What are its characteristics?"
The ministers were all taken aback.
The knight hurriedly reported:
"It... is enormous, yet serpentine in shape, able to fly through the air without wings, and its eyes are even more awe-inspiring than those of a dragon."
"Therefore... the conclusion of the Pale Mage Council is... a dragon."
"Oh, a dragon."
The emperor chuckled and nodded with a smile.
He walked out of the palace on his own, the sunlight shining through the thin, white clouds onto his body.
Aubrey slowly raised his head, looking up at the clear blue sky and feeling the warmth of the sun.
"Send word down to find its location."
"Notify me as soon as it appears within the Empire's borders."
At that moment, the emperor's blood and qi began to surge.
The ministers seemed to see something in the emperor's back view.
The phantom kept flickering, and finally, it reappeared as the red lion from before.
The red lion gradually grew larger, and finally, with an unparalleled sense of oppression, sat cross-legged beside Aubrey.
The emperor squinted, looked up, and gazed at the clouds on the horizon.
'Revi.'
What exactly did you leave behind for your daughter?
...
In the south of the empire, in the land of the monster rift.
Yellow sand flew up, and the scorching sun hung in the cloudless sky.
A warm breeze stirred up some dust on the ground, and the air seemed to tremble slightly.
Countless people gathered in the surrounding streets.
Warriors with longswords at their waists, male and female mages in colorful robes holding various magical items, and muscular men wielding giant axes.
Despite their different professions, they share the same name.
Adventurer.
And here lies the largest monster rift within the empire's borders.
This place is known as a paradise where danger and opportunity coexist.
The adventurer's capital - Godinlima.
But at this time, a group of uninvited guests arrived in this city that was never quiet.
Without prior arrangement, these adventurers simultaneously made way for the army on the street.
Hundreds of demi-humans walked along the streets.
Cat and dog ears twitched on their heads, and they walked in orderly rows in bone armor.
Despite being a group of demi-humans, the powerful aura emanating from them deterred even the fearless adventurers from confronting them.
This is clearly a well-trained team.
And at the head of this group is their leader.
That was a knight.
She had long, flowing silver-white hair, and her eyes held a cold arrogance.
His body was covered in a suit of silver armor that shimmered with golden light, giving off a distinct sense of oppression.
Everyone could see that the knight's equipment was superior, and it wasn't even ordinary quality armor.
The adventurers stared wide-eyed.
"Then... whose team is it?"
Someone was speaking in a daze, as if they had seen someone familiar. They couldn't help but widen their eyes and look carefully into the line.
"Hey, look at that woman."
"Elsa, the Greatsword Assassin?"
Among the demi-human crowd, a human walking in the middle of the procession stands out conspicuously.
Elsa's eyes were lifeless, and her expression showed neither joy nor sorrow.
The iconic giant blade at his waist was long gone, replaced by the same weapon used by those demi-humans.
"I heard her team disbanded a long time ago and joined the Raiser family with Cindy, so why is she back...?"
"I'm not sure... wait, something's not right."
Behind the demi-humans, a white cloud slowly drifted over, drawing the attention of all the adventurers.
"Hiss... An elf!"
The adventurers around them were all stunned when they saw the creature above the clouds.
It's one thing for demi-humans to appear here, since there are quite a few demi-human slaves in this adventurer's city.
Moreover, the demi-human slaves here are far more chaotic than those in bustling cities.
