Dragon City, which Qian Xun had forcefully renamed, was completely silent. The civilians who were preparing to escape turned pale. When they heard Qian Xun's declaration that the fugitives were dead, fear appeared on their faces. They grabbed their soft bags and did not know what to do.
In this strange silence, the children's cries were even clearer. The parents quickly covered their children's mouths, trembling in fear of attracting attention.
Some of the mercenaries in the city were also at a loss. They did not know whether they should escape from the city or stay here.
These mercenaries were extremely courageous. If they had heard such words in other places, they would have ignored them and made sure that they were safe first. However, when the person who said these words was a Demigod Dragon, even these mercenaries hesitated.
On the contrary, the soldiers who reacted the fastest were the ones guarding the city. They were not elites to begin with. The elite soldiers had long been brought by the commander of the Holy Iris Flower Knights to invade the elves. In the end, they were almost wiped out by Qian Xun.
These soldiers had already received the order to retreat from the Archbishop who had already fled. They did not have much intention of resisting, and after hearing Qian Xun's order, they did not dare to escape.
The Dragon City was not called the Central City for no reason. It was located on the most important roads of many races. The south was the country of elves, the east was the territory of the orc and human kingdoms, and the west was the empire and the church. No matter which direction they went, the nearest city was far from here. There were dangers along the way. If they were not powerful professionals, they would only die if they fled into the nearby mountains and forests.
In the past, this Dragon City had been occupied by the Church, and there was a group of elite soldiers stationed in the city. In addition, the city's own magic defense ability and the terrain that was easy to defend and difficult to attack made it very difficult to take it down.
The intelligence network of the Papacy was not to be trifled with if they wanted to send a large army to the border. The Papacy would definitely be able to notice the obvious mobilization of troops and send more troops in advance. It would be even more difficult to take down this strong city with a small army. As long as the city was held for a few days, the Papacy would be able to respond and send troops.
To a certain extent, the Central City had always been impregnable, and there was a high-level Legend guarding it. Unless the continent went into an all-out war, it was almost safe here.
However, no matter how much the Pope fantasized, he would never have imagined that an ancient dragon, or a demigod ancient dragon, would personally attack the city. As a result, the city's defensive net was as thin as paper, and it was forcefully taken down in less than an hour. The Pope might have only just received the news.
If it was just an Ancient Dragon, the Cult Nation would not be afraid even if they had to pay a certain price. If it was a Demigod, the Cult Nation would grit their teeth and chase it away. However, when a Demigod Ancient Dragon appeared, even the Cult Nation would have to sigh in admiration. After thinking about it for a long time, this was almost the strongest existence under the gods.
Even if they were able to defeat the dragon, the Papal Kingdom's wealth would be completely wiped out. For a regime with a transcendent status, they would not easily do such a stupid thing. The Papal Kingdom knew that if their strength declined and their prestige was lost, they would be devoured by the human countries alone without the help of other races.
Right now, Qian Xun did not know that much. She only circled the city once and saw that most of the people had given up resisting out of fear. There were even some soldiers who had turned into 'human traitors', and began to drive the civilians back to their homes that were almost burnt down. She nodded in satisfaction.
It was too late for regrets now. Since a part of the city had been destroyed, Qian Xun would do her best to preserve the other part.
'However, it's not all bad news. At the very least, I've shown my strength. I'm sure the other countries or forces in this world will think twice about themselves and won't easily come looking for trouble with me.'
Qian Xun consoled herself. The divine power in his divine persona had not been used up yet, and he still had his trump card. There was nothing to be afraid of. What he needed now was time so that he could grow quickly.
As long as he could follow the AI's instructions and find enough energy to turn himself into a complete form, coupled with the Divinity he 'picked up', Qian Xun even had the ambition to turn herself into an immortal god!
Of course, that was something Qian Xun would have to consider in the future. Right now, what he had to think about was how to secure a foothold for himself in this world.
With a flap of his wings, Qian Xun flew back to the palace-like cathedral at the highest point of the city. His body shrunk once again, and he withdrew all of his Divine Power. This Divine Power was too precious, and he did not dare to use it without knowing how to replenish it. This was his trump card to save his life.
Qian Xun returned to the palace in her original dragon form. She was extremely satisfied with this luxurious palace. Perhaps this would be his nest for a long time in the future.
"Hmm?"
All of a sudden, Qian Xun's soul trembled due to the dragon's instinct. He could smell the scent of treasure.
Excited, Qian Xun followed her senses and arrived at the palace. It was not easy for her to find the treasure. She easily found the basement where the treasure was stored. Perhaps this was the talent of dragons.
"Babies, I'm here."
Whether it was a dragon or a human, treasures were always attractive. Qian Xun was even more passionate about her spoils of war.
