Reincarnated as a Red Dragon, Discipline Makes Me Stronger!-Chapter 47 - The Arrival of the Commander, Calsus
Chapter 47: The Arrival of the Commander, Calsus
“Get up, Mia. I’ve prepared breakfast for you.”
Although it was midnight, Max insisted that it was breakfast.
Mia heard Max’s call and her eyes instantly snapped open.
With Agatha gone, Max was now the head of the family, as the head, his word was law.
Even if he were to order her to do something unbecoming of a dragon, Mia would not hesitate.
Mia walked to Max’s side and saw him cooking a large pile of roasted meat in front of her. The fragrance wafted into Mia’s nostrils, and she could not help but slap her little paws on her face.
“It’s roasted human meat! This is Mia’s favorite meal!”
Upon realizing that Mia was imitating him, Max could not help but snap at her.
“Didn’t I tell you not to imitate my actions…”
While shaking his head helplessly, Max tossed the human meat that he had roasted and seasoned to his sister.
“There are 60 of them in total. Enjoy the treat.”
“We have a big battle to fight after this meal. We can’t go hungry.”
Mia did not have any reservations against roasted human meat. In fact, now that Max had added seasoning to it, she was even more excited.
Mia was a glutton through and through. She was wholly focused on eating the roasted meat, and Max’s words had fallen onto deaf ears. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚
Realizing that he could not get through to her, Max decided to withhold his explanation about the situation they were in until she had finished eating.
If he were to split the 60 people into equal portions, both siblings would be entitled to 30 people each. This was more than enough for Dragon Hatchlings.
Mia’s was in an extremely good meal after the scrumptious meal she had. She clapped her hands once again.
“Alright, Mia, listen to me.”
“Our lair is about to be discovered by the humans. A fierce battle is inevitable.”
“I plan to strike first and teach a lesson to these impudent humans. I will exact a heavy toll unto them.”
Upon hearing Max’s words, the proud genes of the dragon race within Mia seemed to have awakened.
Her large, gem-like pupils instantly turned into a thin slit, and her emotions began to become slightly irritable.
“These humans deserve to die.”
“I will obey your commands, brother. We must carve the fear of dragons within these humans’ souls.”
Marx nodded and continued to instruct Mia.
“Before I let you loose, promise me one thing. You are not to carry out any actions that put your life at risk.”
“All you need to do is to support me with your spells in the sky. I will face them alone.”
“But, brother…”
Mia wanted to interject, but she was rudely interrupted by Max.
“Your life is of the utmost importance.”
“Even if we were to lose this battle, there’s always next time. However, once we lose our lives, we’re gone for good.” 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢
Mia hesitated for a long time before nodding.
After all, compared to the trivial affairs of humans, Mia was more concerned about losing her brother.
…
At the same time, in Longsong Alley.
The various lords of the kingdom either came personally or sent their capable generals. Large numbers of troops were currently gathering.
The Lord of Longsong Alley, Ardarian was pacing back and forth, as if he was anxiously waiting for something.
In the distance, the loud sound of a trumpet suddenly rang out.
Following which, a majestic army appeared from the direction of the Imperial City.
The army was incomparably luxurious, and all of their warhorses were armed to the teeth.
Moreover, they had even brought three Dragon-vanquishing Ballistae with them!
However, what attracted the attention of the onlookers was that within the center of the army, was an extremely luxurious carriage.
A large number of soldiers protected the carriage, as if to ensure that the individual within it would not come into harm’s way.
Each of the soldiers guarding the carriage were elites that were specially chosen throughout the continent. Each of them were capable of dealing with several ordinary soldiers on their own.
Moreover, leading this attention-drawing army was a knight in dazzling silver armor.
At this moment, he was turning around to look at the carriage, his eyes flashing with hesitation.
Sheathed on his back were two massive greatswords.
Each greatsword was inscribed with three runes. Moreover, the runes inscribed on it were in no way inferior to the Red Dragon Slayer that Rafik lugged around.
The knight took off his helmet. He was a middle-aged man with golden hair. He had an excellent temperament and had an indescribable attraction.
“Sir Calsus, you are finally here!”
“I’ve been waiting for your arrival with great anticipation!”
Upon noticing the imperial army’s arrival, Ardarian quickly rushed forward to greet them.
The knight before Ardarian was called Calsus, and he was the most powerful general within the kingdom.
This time, Calsus was the commander of the crusdae against the mysterious dragon hiding in the north.
Despite being the lord of Longsong Alley, Ardarian, could not be presumptuous in front of Calsus.
He needed to treat Calsus as if he were the king himself.
After all, this was the authority that the king had bestowed upon Calsus.
Moreover, not only did Calsus possess Diamond Rank swordsmanship and combat ability, he also possessed great talent in magic.
The combination of his talents in swordsmanship and magic had not only amplified his combat prowess linearly, in fact, it had resulted in an exponential boost!
Better yet, not only was he a genius in combat, he was also a master when it came to the art of war.
In the last war to unify the continent, Calsus had made great contributions to the old king.
The number of enemies that Calsus had downed, both directly, or indirectly, had numbered over ten thousand!
Ardarian dared not be discourteous to Calsus just because he had a kind expression.
After all, as the individual that contributed greatly to the king’s plan to unify the continent, there was no way he could be a good individual!
Once the battle began, the current Calsus who had an amiable smile, would instantly transform into a battle-hungry demon that would slaughter all his enemies!
There was a saying that circulated in the continent.
“There is a chance that you would survive if you offend his Majesty. However, offending Sir Calsus would undoubtedly lead to your death!”
Despite that, Calsus did not have the time to chat with Ardarian at the moment. He shook his head and refused to exchange pleasantries with Ardarian.
Just a day ago, Calsus had already sent several advance teams to scout for traces of the mysterious dragon in the desert where Agatha was located.
However, two teams had vanished without a trace.
Something must have happened that caused them to lose contact with him.
The scouts that Calsus sent out were by no means weak.
Even the weakest among them were of Gold Rank.
Gold Rank. Those who possessed this level of strength would instantly become honored guests in the homes of the weaker lords. They would not have to worry about food and drinks for the rest of their lives.
As such, the fact that he had suddenly lost contact with them had meant that they were most likely dead. Calsus was very pained by this line of thought.
‘They have most likely encountered Agatha and her children, or the mysterious Ancient Dragon, and as a result, they lost their lives.’
“Open the map and record the movements of all the returning advance investigation squads. Use that information to speculate the location of the two missing squads.”
Despite only just arriving at Longsong Alley, Calsus had instantly gone to work.
The soldiers behind him dared not laze around, and they immediately heeded his orders.
About an hour later, a densely recorded map was handed to Calsus by the soldiers.
All the areas that had been investigated by the advance team were marked blue, and the only area that was not marked was a valley.
In that very same alley was the lair of Max and Mia!
