Alexander raised his head up to look at the city lord of Hans, questioning once again in a cold voice "City lord of Hans, are you ready to suffer the consequences for your misdeeds?"

The city lord broke out in laughter as his body shook back and forth, his hand covering his handsome face which had yellow fringe near his eyebrows. "You"re no match for me! Remember this as well, I"m Orochi, one of the eight evil Overlords!"

The eight evil Overlords were the leaders of the evil forces and are said to be serving a Evil king that goes by the name Atroax, a Necromancer with physical capabilities above most valiant warriors.

As Orochi said this, the purple snake behind him vanished as his hair and snake turned a crimson red, the extravagant clothes he was wearing, was replaced by a long piece robe which reached down to his knees. If one doesn"t know about him, one might even think that he"s a gentleman who"s bound to become the white knight of every woman.

Flames gathered around him, but instead of doing any harm to him, they only surrounded him very gently, just like how a mother would take care her child.

Alexander didn"t know why, but he could feel his head hurting when he heard this, the blood flowing within him was pumping rapidly. Looking up at Orochi again, he saw the nightmare which he fears most, the betrayer of the Damian family who took his father"s life and became the family head of the Damian family.

It"s unknown what he"s doing in the lower realm and why his cultivation is even lower than him, but he knew that even with everything he have right now, he"s nothing but an ant in front of Orochi who has already killed countless elephants and even a few gigantic dragons.

In front of dragons, snakes are nothing more but their weakest descendents, but Orochi was a different case as he was one who surpa.s.sed his generation and formed a new one of his own.

Orochi himself was only half human, the other half of him was the White Crimson Serpent which venom wasn"t just poisonous, but also carries a scorching heat which ranks as the seventh flame in the whole world, its toxicity unmatched except for one foe.

Orochi smiled looking at Alexander before turning his head slowly over towards Abby, Alexander and Abby both felt that Orochi was going to plan something.

But before either of them could react, they could feel that their legs were being restrained to the ground and they were rooted to the spot.

Two snakes had actually spiralled up from the ground and was coiling on their legs, the more they tried to struggle, the tighter the constraint which resulted in them giving up on this thought of theirs.

When they looked up again, all they saw were two gigantic hands glowing with white crimson flames as they stood there motionless, they wanted to avoid it but realised that their body wasn"t listening to them as the hands caught them.

Clasp

The members of the Array Dragons all rushed forwards with their weapons and tried to break the hand, but before any of them could get near, the heat got them before blasting them off.

Back in Alexander"s and Abby"s mind at this time, was Orochi"s voice which sounded extremely serious as he told them to keep silent and listen.

"General!" One of the soldiers who had been with Alexander cried out with tears streaking down his face, his fists were clenched tight and kept to his side as he kneeled on the ground.

"You G.o.dd.a.m.n demon, what the h.e.l.l do you think you"re doing!" One of the younger and newer members cried out as he took out a small rock from the ground and threw it towards Orochi.

Orochi merely smiled as he brushed past this small side scene and dodged to the side, staring at that solider for a few moments he said "Young lad, what did you just call me?"

The soldier took a deep gulp of saliva, but knew that the only choice left for him right now would to be to argue back, he had to stall time for everyone to think of a way.

In a panic, the rookie soldier could only repeat what he said like an idiot towards Orochi "I said that you"re a G.o.dd.a.m.n demon who deserves death, someone like you shouldn"t even exist in this world!"

The other experienced soldiers all looked at the rookie in shame, he had the talent and guts to become a great solider, but he"s bound to go down today after what he has just said. Not only did he scold Orochi again, but he even made it worse when he repeated himself.

Orochi"s eyebrow rose for a moment, but he merely released Alexander and Abby from those mysterious hands before vanis.h.i.+ng into the air.

"The Azure Dragons, I"ll remember you guys! The next time we meet will be the time of war! Hahahaha!" Orochi left as he left behind the message of war towards them, his figure nowhere to be seen and all signs of him once being here were erased.

The soldiers and civilians had all vanished into thin air but none of the soldiers from the Azure Dragon army was injured or hurt, Alexander and Abby were fine either as they stood in front of their army.

Alexander got onto his stallion again, his scroll once again flas.h.i.+ng behind his back as he rallied "Soldiers of the Azure Dragon take note! Our next destination will be the King forces tournament!"

Alexander may be acting calm on the surface, but questions were tumbling about within his mind even until now, just what had Orochi meant by that and why was Orochi wanting him to take special care of that rookie.

That rookie may have talents and guts, but most or even all of his soldiers has that trait, it wasn"t the reason why he was chosen, but Alexander knew that Orochi arranged this mission for him due to a specific purpose and that he held no harm.

If Orochi had truly wanted to harm them, he would have taken his and Abby lives at that very moment where they were caught, the civilians and soldiers of his may be missing as well, but no signs of their death could be found.

As for his army, they were filled with countless questions in their mind, but they knew that it wasn"t their privilege to know and that they weren"t ent.i.tled to those answers, if their general had the intention to tell them, he would already have done so back then when rallying them.

Abby sped up her stallion to head neck to neck towards Alexander as she asked "Alexander, do you trust what he just said to us just now?"

Alexander shook his head as he rallied back towards his army "Azure Dragons, increase your speed! We"ll strive to make it there by nightfall!"

Besides Alexander and Abby who were riding on energy made horses at that time, all members of the Azure Dragon were actually travelling on dragons made of their own spirit energy.

If one were to look from afar, they might not believe their eyes as what they would see is an Azure Dragon das.h.i.+ng through the air as a tremendously fast speed, something which can only be accomplished by the army of thirty thousand strong where everyone trusted each other.

Whoop

Whirr

Poof

As the energy stallions below Alexander and Abby vanished, energy started to gather below them as an Azure Dragon spanning for about five metres appeared below them, it was at least triple the size of his army, but it doesn"t matter to any of them, it was a symbol of his strength and leaders.h.i.+p.

None of the soldiers felt jealousy, it wasn"t their general"s fault that their dragons are shorter than his.

Alexander stood on the dragon as Abby hugged him from behind, her face closely attached to his broad and strong back as she asked very softly "Dear, will everything be fine?"

Alexander placed one of his palms on Abby"s hand which was hugging him to the front waist as he a.s.sured her "I can"t promise that everything will be fine, but I"ll protect you with all my life."

Alexander didn"t make any large movements, neither did he tried to do anything flashy or memorable for Abby, all he had to say to her was one line. Sometimes, love doesn"t have to be filled with intense pa.s.sion and heat, love can be ordinary and peaceful, but what matters is the true heart which lays.
