Dragon Monarch System

Chapter 359 - Conclusion Of First Battle [III]

”I never knew you guys were so spineless.” A cold familiar voice sent shivers down every fleeing soldierʼs spine. How can they not recognize this voice?

It was nonother than Victoria. Seeing her, their faces immediately lit up in joy like Christmas trees. Originally they had forgotten about her while some thought that she had died at the hand of the Istarin Emperor. But now that she was here, all the soldiers felt as if Heaven was helping them. Their faces couldnʼt hide their excitement. With Victoria here, she alone can take out the enemy troops and let them retreat peacefully.

”We might have lost this battle. But as long as we retreat, the victory will be ours next time.” This is what almost all the soldiers thought. Seeing Victoria, the soldiers were no longer in a hurry to escape. They all assumed that Victoria was going to protect them.

Looking at Victoria Adam frowned. He had many questions in his mind such as where was Aditya? Who won the battle? But right now he had a bigger and far more important issue at his hand. If Victoria stood against them, then even if they all attack her at the same time, they would still lose and end up dying at her hand.

A Peak 5th-order cultivator is a nuclear missile. They are known as Calamities. Their attacks are capable of destroying an entire city. Some people also call them Demi-Gods as 5th-order cultivators stand at the very top. One nuclear Missile can be stopped with another Nuclear Missile.

Everyone on the battlefield stopped and nervously looked at Victoria. The fleeing troops of the Mystic Spring Empire looked happy, and excited and were looking at their enemies with a mocking face.

However,

A few seconds later, the smiles on all the soldiers started disappearing one by one as they realized they were still under her pressure. The pressure coming from her body was so strong that they could not move. If Victoria hadnʼt held back, her cultivation pressure would be instantly killed all the 1st-order soldiers.

”I understand that she is angry with us for being so cowardly but why is she pressuring us with her cultivation.” All the soldiers had similar thoughts in their heads.

The silence was very suffocating. After an entire minute, someone from the Mystic Spring Empireʼs military couldnʼt keep silent anymore. After all, being pressured by a Peak 5th-order cultivator wasnʼt exactly pleasant. Even though he was a beginner 3rd-order cultivator, he still was feeling extremely uncomfortable. Being pressured like this, he couldnʼt circulate his Mana. His legs and arms were in pain. He felt slightly suffocated and found it a little bit hard to breathe.

He could only imagine what the lower-order troops are going through. The sufferings of the lower-order troops were many times harsher than his.

”Lady Victoria, I know that you donʼt like cowards. But if you continue to pressure us with your cultivation, I am afraid the lower-order soldiers wonʼt be able to take it for much longer. You might end up making some unconscious.” As he finished speaking, a few weak soldiers already had lost consciousness.

He spoke respectfully as possible so that Victoria wonʼt get angry at him and end up killing him. It took him a lot of courage to say these words. After all, he was dealing with a Peak 5th-order cultivator. Even a small mistake could cost him his life.

He was trying to make her remember that they were on the same side. Inwardly he was feeling very frustrated and angry for being treated like this. Because she is a Peak 5th-order cultivator, he canʼt say or do anything against her.

Victoria glanced at the man who spoke just now. ”Who are you?”

”____”

There was an awkward silence. The man who spoke felt very embarrassed after hearing her words. The anger in his heart increased.

Victoria wasnʼt pretending to not recognize him or anything like that. She was genuinely confused about who this person was. In the Mystic Spring Empire, there were thousands of other high-ranked soldiers like him. It is impossible for her to remember all of their names and faces. Also besides fighting and carrying out the orders of the Emperor, Victoria spent all of her time in training just like Lawson.

As a result, there is a rift between her and others in the military. She doesnʼt like parties or any social gathering as she is a socially awkward person. She hardly ever interacted with anyone from the military.

”First, I would like to make things clear once and for all.” She looked at everyone who was also looking at her.

”From now on, I am no longer a part of the Mystic Spring Empire. I have severed all of my ties with the Mystic Spring Empire.” For a moment non of the soldiers believed what they were hearing. But as they digested her words, their expressions became horrified as they realized why they have been pressured by her till now.

Gulp!

The soldiers gulped and nervously waited for her next sentence that could decide their fate. Everyone from the Istarin Empire and the Echo Dominion Empire was also shocked and surprised. Only the Dragonians looked calm as they could sense a fellow Dragonian from a far distance.

”I have pledged my loyalty to the Istarin Empire. His Majesty, Aditya, is my master and I am his Dragonian.”

Booom!!!!

Just as she finished saying these words, Crimson red Dragon wings appeared on her back, proving that she has become a Dragon now.

Seeing this, the soldiers knew that it was over.

Crack!

Suddenly the pressure coming from their former general intensified. Giant cracks started to appear on the ground around her. However, none of the Istarin and Echo Dominion Empireʼs troops felt any pressure.

It was as if the gravity around Victoria had been increased by several times and denser.

All 3rd-order Mystic Spring Empireʼs troops fell to their knees and grabbed their throat as they struggled hard to breathe. As for the second-order and first-order troops, the pressure was just too much for them.

The bodies of the 1st-order soldiers directly exploded like a water balloon while most of the second-order soldiers died as their hearts stopped beating. The ones that managed to survive were either very close to reaching 3rd-order or had some kind of magical artifact to barely protect themselves.

Victoria did not show any mercy even though these soldiers were her subordinate just an hour ago. Her eyes were cold as ice.

Boom!!!

Once again Victoria increased the pressure. This time, all of the second-order soldierʼs bodies exploded like water balloons; leaving behind small pieces of meat and bones all over the place. While the 3rd-order cultivators were on the verge of death.

The pressure was just too much for them. Their bodies were in immense pain. It was as if they were buried under a mountain. Their bones were slowly cracking and getting crashed. As their lives were being squeezed out, they couldnʼt even scream due to the immense pressure.

This horrifying scene was just too much for the other soldiers to watch.

”This is too much to watch.” Seeing how the bodies of the soldiers were exploding like water balloons and leaving behind small pieces of their bodies all over the place, the soldier couldnʼt take it anymore and ended up vomiting.

”If possible I would like to erase this horrifying memory from my brain.” One soldier said as he stared at Victoria. His entire body was shaking in fear. Today Victoria has left a deep mark on everyoneʼs mind. She showed what a Peak 5th-order cultivator is capable of. She showed the difference between them and her.

”Thank God, that she came to our side. Just imagining myself in their places, I can feel my very soul screaming in agony.” The second soldier shuddered as he spoke.

”She has gotten stronger after becoming a Dragonian.” When the battle started, Adam was able to sense her Aura. Comparing her past Aura with her current Aura, Adam could see a big difference. Previously her Aura wasnʼt strong to do something like this.

A minute later, the remaining Mystic Spring Empireʼs troops that stayed on the battlefield when Victoria arrived had been killed by her Aura pressure alone.

She was standing while being surrounded by blood, small pieces of meat, and bones. The ground around her had been painted with blood.

When Ashton arrived at the battlefield, he saw this and was very surprised. ”Where is she?” He asked Adam.

”Before she came, many other troops had managed to flee. She had gone to chase them down along with the Dragonians.” While the normal soldiers were tired after fighting a battle, the Dragonians had enough stamina left to chase the enemy troops and kill them.

Ashton looked at Daxton who had come out of his hiding and was standing next to Adam and talking with him about their upcoming actions. Previously Ashton wasnʼt planning on showing himself but seeing how things went, he had to come out.

Ashton couldnʼt leave even though he wanted as he was currently the guardian of the Emperor. This is also why he refrained from joining the battlefield even though he desperately wanted to. ”Ashton, donʼt let anyone cross the border. Go!”

”But...” Ashton was still hesitant. The safety of the Emperor was more important.

”I have Adam here. Besides, I donʼt think anyone has the courage to attack me right now.” Daxton wasnʼt joking. If anyone did try to claim his life, Adam and all the soldiers is going to rip them apart.

”Alright.” Ashton sensed Adityaʼs presence. Feeling relieved that Aditya was here, he left without wasting any more time.

Scene change

The Emperor and the Mystic Empireʼs Prime Minister watched the whole battle using an artifact. He was standing in front of a well. On the well water, a projection of what was happening on the battlefield was seen.

And when the Emperor saw Victoria killing his troops, he completely lost his mind.

Bang!!!!!

”This damn Bitch. I never thought the dog I raised would become bold enough to bite me.” The Emperor of the Mystic Spring Empire was fuming in anger. His anger and eyes had turned red in anger. He wasnʼt angry about the fact that he lost the battle. He wasnʼt angry at the fact that his troops were running away like cowards.

But seeing the very woman who had been adopted by the Empire and raised to serve the Empire betraying him, made the Emperor extremely mad and pissed.

When He sent his troops to fight the enemy, he did not send his full troop which was in millions. The Oracle Allianceʼs leader, Lucas, ordered him to first send a small number of troops to test the waters. The same could be said for the Echo Dominion Empire.

This is what he did. He sent Victoria so that she can keep their casualties as minimum as possible while winning the battle. Now all of his plans had been ruined. Not only did his troops brutally lose the fight but they also left the battlefield like cowards. On top of all that, one of the strongest pillars of his Empire and one of his most trusted subordinates just betrayed him. And turned against him. The situation was in no way acceptable to the Emperor.

”Write a report about everything that happened and send it to His Majesty Lucas. I am going to cool my mind.” The Emperor left this work to Prime Minister and went to cool his head as he knew without cooling his head off, he will make rush decisions which might cause them to lose the war.

Whenever the Mystic Empire Emperor talked about cooling his head, someone in the castle definitely died. As for who killed that person, no one dared to question it. Everyone just lowered their heads and ignored the dead person.

The Mystic Spring Empire still had an advantage in this war. As long as He donʼt allow the enemy to enter into his Empire, everything was good.

Seeing the Emperor leave, the Prime Minister sighed before deciding to watch the battlefield for a little longer to see if he can learn anything more interesting.
