Just as Eric and others were welcomed into Dragon Island, General Kedel had already led all the demigods and quickly returned to the imperial capital through the space rift.
He passed through layers of guards and came straight to the throne, where he saw Queen Catherine sitting on the throne.
The Queen was surprised to see General Kedel return, and thought to herself: The Empire has dispatched so many demigods, is it possible that it still cannot take down the Dragon Spine Kingdom?
Even if the other party has six demigod dragon knights, it shouldn't be so difficult.
General Kedel felt the Queen's gaze and immediately knelt on one knee, saluted respectfully, and began to explain in detail the reasons for this action.
"Your Majesty, I led the demigods to the Mermaid Kingdom to provide support, but we were unable to arrive in time. In this battle, three of our demigods tragically died. Fortunately, Brandi arrived just in time, and the tide of battle gradually turned."
"However, unexpectedly, the enemy sent a demigod dragon knight to join the battle. The situation took a sharp turn for the worse and became extremely unfavorable to us. With no other choice, I had no choice but to lead everyone in a retreat to the vicinity of Dragon Island, as previously agreed."
Upon hearing this, Queen Catherine frowned, her mind filled with confusion: "Where on earth did Martin White train so many Demigod Dragon Knights?"
Seeing the Queen's frown and serious expression, General Kedel quickly continued, "Your Majesty, there is one more matter of vital importance. If this is true, I'm afraid we will be unable to defeat Martin White."
"Go on, don't hesitate," the queen urged anxiously.
"Your Majesty, according to the dragons ridden by those dragon riders, Martin White possesses the ability to unconditionally ascend to demigod status. Based on this, advancement to other realms might not be difficult for him either."
Upon hearing the news, Queen Catherine was so shocked that she stood up involuntarily. She then hurriedly stepped down from the throne and walked straight to General Kedel. She asked solemnly with a serious expression, "Is the news true? This is not something to be joked about."
General Kedel smiled wryly and said, "Your Majesty, please think carefully about where those Demigod Dragon Knights came from. We have exhausted the resources of the entire empire to finally help Brandi become a Demigod Dragon Knight."
"You know, the difficulty of becoming a dragon knight is three times greater than that of ordinary professions. And look at Martin White, he can already mass-produce demigod dragon knights."
"Besides, this is just the dragon knight we see openly. Martin White certainly won't put all his forces into the mermaid kingdom near the sea."
"According to my speculation, he must have some dragon knights that he hasn't dispatched yet. In fact, it's not just the demigod level. Even lower-level dragon knights are probably not impossible for him to dispatch."
After hearing these words, Queen Catherine stood there in a daze, lost in thought, wondering what she was thinking about.
After a moment, she slowly returned to the throne and waved her hand gently, signaling General Kedel to go down and rest.
General Kedel felt heartbroken when he saw the Queen in such a state, but he really didn't know how to comfort her. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopped. Finally, he had to salute again and turned to leave.
The queen sat quietly on the throne, her eyes revealing confusion and her expression constantly changing.
Suddenly, she asked, "Tell me, if I asked you to assassinate Martin White, how confident would you be?" As soon as she finished speaking, an elf girl in a gray robe, with a flat figure and snow-white hair, appeared out of thin air. She looked at the queen with a fiery gaze.
"Your Majesty, if what General Kedel said is true, Martin White must have other dragon knights around him, and there might even be a lower-ranked dragon knight with a cultivation level comparable to mine."
"You also know that the perception of a dragon knight is much sharper than that of ordinary professionals, so..." The girl frowned slightly, with a hint of worry in her tone.
After hearing this, the Queen fell silent, and her mind was rapidly thinking about the possibility of assassinating Martin White.
She knew in her heart that given the number of terrifying dragon knights Martin White had displayed, her side had no chance of winning in a head-on confrontation.
However, she suddenly realized that something was wrong: if Martin White really possessed such incredible abilities, the Continental Congress would never sit idly by and would have taken him to the Sky City long ago.
After all, the Continental Parliament is obsessed with the mission of guarding this plane to the point of madness, and there is no way they would allow such a perfect tool to hang around in front of them.
Even if Martin White is accompanied by lower-level gods or even middle-level gods, with the background and strength of the Continental Parliament, there is a way to solve the problem.
However, when the Queen's thoughts touched upon the various rules that had just been set by the Continental Parliament and the recent change in Dragon Island's attitude, a flash of lightning flashed through her mind and she suddenly realized it.
In an instant, her face changed drastically. First she showed an expression of disbelief, and then she burst into laughter without caring about her manners.
The elf girl who was standing quietly beside her looked at Her Majesty the Queen with a puzzled look on her face when she saw this scene.
The queen laughed for a long time before she slowly stopped and waved her hand, signaling the elf girl to retreat.
The elf girl bowed respectfully and then disappeared again.
At this moment, the Queen's expression became extremely conflicted. She now understood that she was merely a stepping stone, but even though she was angry, she knew it was useless.
But a thought suddenly flashed through her mind: What if creatures from other planes were to intervene? But as soon as she thought about it, she immediately rejected the idea, thinking to herself: No, I absolutely cannot do that.
While the Queen was lost in thought, inside Dragon Island, Eric and seven others and their giant dragons were intentionally separated by the dragons, apparently with the intention of interrogating them separately.
The dragons ridden by Eric and his companions were no more than two hundred years old at most. Facing those dragons that had lived for one or two thousand years, they were far behind in both strength and experience and were completely unable to resist.
On the dragon's side, the questioning went quite smoothly and was completed without much trouble.
However, Eric and others kept their lips tightly shut and said nothing.
This made the dragons of Dragon Island very angry. They couldn't help but want to use violence several times, but when they thought that these people were all demigod-level and their strength should not be underestimated, they finally suppressed their anger.
The Great Elder did not use any prohibitive measures against them.
