Ch 110: All In Order

Chen Wen said, “We’ll let you go, but leave behind anything valuable. We need to account to our Master.”

“Impossible!” the Paladin and Magician said together.

“Then die!” Although they spoke harshly, Chen Wen and his companions made no move.

This emboldened the Paladins and Magicians, certain they wouldn’t dare act.

They invoked the Church of Light and the Magicians’ Guild to pressure the dragons.

Not only did Chen Wen ignore their tactics, he also cursed the God of Light, infuriating the Paladins.

Finally, seeing the dragons losing patience, they reluctantly surrendered their valuables.

Their belongings were in a Magic Space; Chen Wen didn’t know if they had given everything. Seeing them nearly finished, he didn’t press the matter.

He didn’t want to actually kill them.

Letting them go would be more useful.

After being thoroughly searched, they could only leave resentfully.

This score couldn’t be settled so easily.

“Dragon Riders? Excellent!” a Paladin gritted his teeth.

Taking their belongings wasn’t a big deal; Paladins didn’t possess many valuables anyway.

But insulting their God of Light was unforgivable.

They had to report to Headquarters and thoroughly teach those bastards a lesson.

Meanwhile, one Magician anxiously asked another, “Impersonating members of the Magicians’ Guild like this, if they find out, won’t they come after us?”

“Relax! Dragon Riders won’t spread such things around. Do they think they can defy the Magicians’ Guild?” the Magician reassured him. “If they truly weren’t afraid, they wouldn’t have let us go.”

They hadn’t gone far when they heard howls and cries from behind. Looking back, they saw an orange-red glow emanating from the canyon.

That was the color of Dragon Flame.

They swallowed hard.

Those Dragon Riders were truly mad; they had annihilated such a large army?

They quickly accelerated their departure.

That army must have belonged to a Human Nation nearby; otherwise, such a large force wouldn’t have dared venture into another country.

Since they had sent troops to hunt Vitia and the others, Chen Wen naturally didn’t want to let them off so easily.

Now that this army was destroyed here, the defenses of nearby cities should be weak. It was the perfect time to raid them and grab some things.

The Church of Light’s churches were very wealthy.

He shared his plan with Vitia and the others, asking them for the direction of nearby human cities.

Hearing the Boss was going after gold, Second Brother and Third Sister immediately became excited.

Vitia tried to conceal it, but the fleeting greed in her eyes betrayed her.

Vitia told Chen Wen that the human nation was called the Andeshi Kingdom and pointed out the direction of their capital city, several hundred miles away.

The capital city?

The Church of Light’s cathedral there must be larger than a Duchy’s church. The gold there…

Chen Wen flew with them towards the direction Vitia indicated.

After flying for a while, they noticed something amiss. Thick smoke was rising from behind a hillside not far ahead.

They flew over and were shocked.

It was a human village, now in ruins. Most houses were burned to their frames.

The nearby farmland and forest were also ablaze.

Human corpses littered the ground and irrigation ditches; men, women, old, and young, some charred to cinders.

What had attacked them?

Beasts? Magical Creatures? Or Orcs?

They continued towards the capital city. Along the way, they encountered several villages reduced to ruins, corpses strewn across the ground.

Although Chen Wen was now a dragon, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy at such a sight.

It was too tragic.

They passed a town similar to the villages, but some farmland outside the town remained undamaged.

A dozen elderly people and children were harvesting grain in the fields.

Seeing several dragons approaching, they turned pale; the children trembled, unable to move.

The elders quickly pulled them away.

Chen Wen saw that the harvested grain wasn’t ripe yet. Some children even grabbed leaves and stuffed them into their mouths.

How hungry they must be!

He descended towards them.

He didn’t land, but as he flew in front of them, he took some beast carcasses from his Magic Space. Seeing they were all elderly people and children, Chen Wen took the Paladin’s sword and cut the carcasses into small pieces in mid-air.

The elders were terrified when a dragon flew towards them, but they had a dozen children with them, so they ran desperately.

Finally, seeing the dragon catching up, they stopped and hugged the children.

The children closed their eyes, huddled in the elders’ arms, not daring to move.

After a long time, the elders didn’t meet their expected deaths.

They cautiously opened their eyes.

They saw many pieces of meat scattered nearby.

The dragons had flown away.

These pieces of meat weren’t there before.

Although they had been running desperately, the elders were certain there had been no meat on the road.

They stared at the departing dragons, stunned.

Was this meat left by the dragon?

They still couldn’t believe it.

Only when the children discovered the meat and exclaimed did they come to their senses.

“Grandma Aling, is this meat left by those dragons?” a ten-year-old girl asked.

This was the path they had just taken; there was no meat before, so its sudden appearance could only mean it was left by the dragon.

And she had vaguely heard something fall to the ground, likely the meat.

This also explained why the dragon flew towards them but didn’t harm them.

It was to drop this meat.

Why would a dragon drop meat for them?

Her little head couldn’t understand.

“Probably!” said the elder called Grandma Aling. “Noy, quickly call everyone to carry the meat. There’s so much, we can’t carry it all ourselves.”

The girl quickly took a piece of meat she could manage, along with two children about her age, and ran towards the forest.

Meanwhile, Chen Wen and Vitia soon saw a magnificent city.

Unexpectedly, smoke was also rising from this city.

Noises came from within the city.

As they flew closer, they suddenly noticed a row of people neatly hanging from the city walls.

Their clothing was luxurious; they must have been Nobles in life.

The one hanging in the middle wore the most elaborate clothing and a crown.

Was he the King?

The Andeshi Kingdom’s Nobles had been overthrown?

Who did it?

They looked towards the city; two groups were fighting.

One group’s flag bore the same pattern as the King’s clothing; led by Magicians, they charged like rabid dogs towards the other group.

The other group’s flag was the same as the army they had annihilated in the canyon. Although led by Paladins, they were steadily retreating towards the city center.

The Church and the Magicians’ Guild were fighting each other?
