Dragon City, which Louis had forcefully renamed, was silent. The civilians who were preparing to escape turned pale. When they heard Louis 'declaration that the fugitives were dead, they all looked terrified. They held their soft bags in their hands 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 didn't know if they should escape or stay here.
These mercenaries were all extremely brave people. 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 soldiers guarding the city. They were not elites in the first place. The elite soldiers had long been taken by the commander of the Holy Iris Flower Knights to invade the elves, and in the end, they were almost wiped out by Louis.
These soldiers had received the order to retreat from the archbishop who had already escaped. They did not have much intention of resisting. After hearing Louis 'order, they did not dare to escape.
The Dragon City was not named the Central City casually. It was located on the most important roads of many races. The south was the country of the 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 away from here, and the road was full of danger. If they did not have 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 look at it and sigh. They had to think about it carefully. This was 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.
Louis did not know that much. He only circled the city once and saw that most people had given up resisting out of fear. Some soldiers even turned into traitors and began to drive the civilians back to their homes that were almost burned down. He nodded in satisfaction.
It was too late to regret now. Since a part of the city had been destroyed, Louis had to do his 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.'
Louis comforted himself. He had not used up all the divine power in his divinity yet. He still had his trump card, so he was not particularly afraid. What he needed now was time to grow quickly.
As long as he could find enough energy to turn himself into a complete form according to the AI, coupled with the divinity he 'picked up', Louis even had the ambition to turn himself into an immortal god!
Of course, that was something Louis would have to consider later. Now, he had to think about how to make himself a foothold in this world.
With another flap of his wings, Louis flew back to the palace-like cathedral at the highest point of the city. His body shrank again, and he withdrew all his Divine Power. This Divine Power was too precious. He did not dare to use it casually before he knew how to replenish it. It was a trump card for survival.
Louis returned to the palace in his dragon form. Louis was extremely satisfied with the luxurious palace. Perhaps this would be his nest for a long time in the future.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, the instinct of the dragon made Louis's heart tremble. He smelled the scent of treasure.
Louis, who was excited, followed his senses to the palace. It was not easy for him to find it. He easily found the basement where the treasures were stored. Perhaps this was the talent of dragons.
"Babies, I'm here."
Whether it was a dragon or a human, treasures were always attractive, and Louis was even more passionate about his spoils of war.
