Volume 6 Chapter 138
by Golden DragonVolume 6 + Chapter 138: Atiya’s Insolence
“I have a good suggestion. How about everyone hear me out?” Xia Yi said to the crowd.
Hearing this, Daisy looked up. “What suggestion?”
“Well, here’s the thing. Actually, I talked with her a lot and learned some things.”
Xia Yi walked over to Atiya.
“She told me her name is Atiya. She’s all alone out there, with no one to rely on. She’s very pitiful…”
“Pitiful??”
At those words, Wallace’s expression nearly collapsed. She had wiped out everyone in an instant, and that was pitiful?
“Ahem, anyway, she’s very lonely,” Xia Yi said. “You see, her nature isn’t bad. She didn’t want to kill anyone, she was just desperate. After I made things clear with Atiya, she wanted to turn over a new leaf. As the saying goes, ‘To know one’s wrongs and be able to correct them, there is no greater virtue.’ How about we let Atiya join the Maginot Fortress as well?”
“Let the evil dragon join us?!”
Xia Yi’s proposal made everyone present gasp.
That was far too bold!
“I don’t think that’s a good idea. Many of us were injured by her before,” Wallace objected. “We all saw how terrifying she is!”
“Wallace, that may be true, but think about it, Atiya is very strong. Wouldn’t letting her join the Maginot military greatly increase our combat strength?”
Xia Yi began to analyze logically.
“Besides, Atiya has repented and wants to make up for her wrongdoings. Since she can communicate with us properly, why not give her this chance? There’s no need to push her to the opposite side.”
“Well…”
Wallace hesitated.
After all, Xia Yi’s suggestion was quite reasonable. Atiya’s addition would greatly enhance the military’s combat power, while continued hostility would be very harmful to Maginot Fortress.
“If everyone is still uneasy, let me watch over her. Since I was the one who persuaded her, I can make sure she doesn’t cause trouble,” Xia Yi said.
Everyone then turned their eyes to Daisy. She was the leader, ultimately, the decision was hers.
“Daisy, what do you think?” Wallace asked.
“…”
Daisy fell silent.
In the past, she would never have agreed. When this blue dragon went berserk, few could stop her.
But the situation is different now. These people did not know that Maginot Fortress was in crisis and urgently needed strong fighters to supplement its combat power in preparation for the inevitable bad times ahead.
“Let me report this to Lord Yuren. Xia Yi, you and Atiya wait here. I’ll be back soon.” After much thought, Daisy wanted to hear Yuren’s opinion.
“Okay, understood!” Xia Yi acknowledged.
…
In Yuren’s office, Daisy reported all that had happened.
“…And so, Xia Yi brought Atiya back to Maginot Fortress, even handcuffed her. It seems Atiya is willing to listen to Xia Yi.”
Daisy explained the day’s events in detail from beginning to end.
Yuren sat in his seat, listened quietly, and did not offer much opinion.
“Yuren, what do you think?”
Yuren spoke: “Let Atiya join Maginot Fortress. Have Xia Yi keep an eye on her.”
“Are you sure that’s okay?”
“There may be some risk, but having Atiya as a member of Maginot Fortress is better than having her as an enemy. She might even help us when future disasters strike,” Yuren reminded. “Don’t forget, there are very few dragons in Maginot Fortress. In aerial combat, dragons have a unique advantage, an area where we are severely lacking.”
“That’s true. On the Calamity Beast side, it seems special flying individuals have already appeared.”
“We don’t have many choices, Daisy. Time is growing increasingly tight.”
“Alright. I’ll arrange for Atiya to join the Maginot military. Coincidentally, Xia Yi’s dormitory has an empty bed. I’ll put her there. Since they are of the same race, they should get along fine.”
“Speaking of which, Xia Yi stayed behind alone to hold off the rampaging Atiya?” Yuren shifted the topic to Xia Yi.
“Yes. Her magic is very impressive. She can perform techniques that even great mages cannot. Her mana pool is also deep, she casts spells as if mana costs nothing.”
“It seems she has great magical talent. We need her help as well.”
“Yuren, are you thinking of including Xia Yi in ‘that plan’?”
“I have that in mind…”
“That plan is crucial to the survival of Maginot Fortress, no, of everyone! Xia Yi has only just joined. If we let her access such core secrets, won’t that risk complications?”
“The special individual gestating in the Adam Plains is about to awaken. We are racing against time.”
“…A complex expression appeared on Daisy’s face.”
“Ah, Daisy, your concerns are not without reason,” Yuren sighed. “Give me a little time to think it over.”
…
After communicating with Yuren, Daisy returned to the group.
She announced that Yuren, as the leader of Maginot Fortress, had agreed to let Atiya join the military.
With Yuren’s decision, no one else raised objections.
Although they had indeed had conflicts with Atiya before, continuing to fight as enemies was truly frightening. It was better to turn an enemy into a friend.
And so, Atiya joined the military, became a soldier, received an official pass, and was assigned to the same dormitory as Xia Yi.
“Hooray! Same dorm as Her Highness!” Atiya said happily in the dormitory.
“Atiya, we’ll be roommates from now on!” Xia Yi laughed.
“Hehehe. I can continue serving Her Highness as a maid.”
“Speaking of which, Atiya, there is something I want to do with you.”
“Hmm? What is it?” Atiya was curious.
“Well…”
Xia Yi stood on tiptoe and whispered in Atiya’s ear.
Atiya’s eyes widened after hearing it.
“It’s… like that?”
…
…
In Xia Yi’s dormitory.
At Night.
“Mmm… ah… mmm…”
“Your Highness, what’s wrong? Can’t go on anymore?”
“Atiya, you, you…!”
Xia Yi’s snow-white little face flushed crimson. A misty veil covered her eyes. Under Atiya’s assault, her breathing rhythm had completely broken.
At that moment, the blue dragon maid’s tail wrapped around the silver dragon loli’s tail, clinging tightly together.
“Atiya, you…!”
Xia Yi was both anxious and angry, but she had little strength left. Her waist had gone limp. She was completely controlled by her own maid.
Atiya launched another offensive. “Your Highness, now I’m going to… be insolent~”
