Volume 6 Chapter 137
by Golden DragonVolume 6 + Chapter 137: I Missed You, Xia Yi
“Your Highness, what are you doing?!”
“Atiya, because you have committed grave errors, you are under arrest!”
Xia Yi pulled out handcuffs and clasped them around Atiya’s wrists.
“How could you!” Atiya’s face fell. “Your Highness, why are you punishing me?”
“Because you’ve become a wicked dragon.”
“I didn’t do anything bad.”
“You terrorized the people of Maginot Fortress.”
“But I was the one being bothered all the time! I’m the one who was bullied! They wouldn’t even let me rest properly!”
“You really have no self-awareness at all.”
Xia Yi felt helpless.
She uncuffed Atiya and began to explain.
“Okay, okay, Atiya, it’s not really to punish you. I need your cooperation. Look here.”
“Hmm, this is…?”
“It’s the Maginot military uniform. I’m a soldier of Maginot now.”
Xia Yi pointed to her own uniform.
“I’ve obtained very important intelligence in Maginot Fortress, about the whereabouts of the World Tree.”
“The World Tree?” Atiya’s eyes widened. “Your Highness, we need the water of life from the World Tree to save Her Majesty the Queen.”
“Yes, that’s why I chose to join the Maginot military, to gather information about the World Tree. But the information is held by the upper echelons. I need to gain their recognition quickly. So I need you to serve as my trophy.”
“I see.”
“Atiya, come back with me to Maginot Fortress,” Xia Yi said. “I’ll arrange things for you.”
“Okay!” Atiya agreed. “Come to think of it, Your Highness, you seem to know something about this world? The Maginot military doesn’t seem like people from our era.”
“You’re right. Let me tell you what has happened.”
Xia Yi began explaining to Atiya the structure of this distorted Elf Kingdom, and the connections between the Mythic Age, the Envoys, and the Queen…
…
…
Maginot Fortress.
Daisy led the wounded soldiers back into Maginot Fortress, thanks to the time Xia Yi had bought for them.
They had just passed through the entrance and reached a safe area when professional medical personnel came to treat the injured.
“Damn it!!”
Wallace pounded the ground with his fist in grief and rage.
“Xia Yi died in the line of duty on her very first day! She, she… she was only a child of three hundred years old!!”
“It’s my fault. I misjudged the situation. I was overconfident. I never imagined that the evil blue dragon was hiding her true strength.”
Daisy lowered her head in dejection. Thinking of Xia Yi pained her deeply.
“Daisy, don’t say that. We share the blame,” Wallace sighed. “We veterans have much more combat experience than Xia Yi. We’ve fought on the battlefield for so long, yet we let her cover our retreat. That’s a dereliction of duty on our part!”
The others, hearing this, also felt ashamed.
“Xia Yi died as a hero. We must remember her forever!”
“We must report this to Lord Yuren. Everyone in Maginot Fortress must know that our military had such an outstanding soldier. We’ll give her a grand funeral!”
“I miss you, Xia Yi.”
Everyone began to mourn Xia Yi.
…
Half a day passed in Maginot Fortress, shrouded in grief.
Daisy, sitting in her office, finished writing her report and was about to submit it.
Suddenly, the door to her office burst open.
“Daisy! Terrible news! Maginot Fortress is under invasion!” a Maginot soldier reported.
“I’ll go see!”
Daisy stood up from her seat, left the report behind, and rushed out of her office.
As soon as she ran outside, she heard screams.
“Am I seeing things?!”
“Ahhhhh, it’s the evil dragon!”
“The evil blue dragon has invaded Maginot Fortress!”
Outside, Daisy saw the evil blue dragon descending from the sky.
Her face turned pale.
Could it be that the blue dragon had killed Xia Yi and then chased them here?
“All soldiers, prepare to engage the enemy!”
“Yes, ma’am!”
The soldiers inside Maginot Fortress mobilized, weapons in hand, standing ready.
“This time, we will avenge Xia Yi!”
Though already injured, Wallace, upon hearing that the evil blue dragon had appeared in Maginot Fortress, dragged his body, hoisted his weapon, and came to fight the evil dragon to the death.
Daisy was about to command the soldiers to attack when she spotted a silver figure on the dragon’s head.
“Hello, everyone~” Xia Yi waved to the people below.
“Xia Yi?!”
Wallace’s face was filled with shock.
“What… is going on?”
Daisy could hardly believe her eyes.
Seeing that Xia Yi was not dead, she first called a halt.
“Everyone, hold your positions! No attacking!”
The blue dragon landed on the ground, and Xia Yi jumped down from Atiya.
“Yes, comrades, I’m back.”
“Is it really Xia Yi?” Daisy walked up to her. “You’re… actually alive!”
“Not dead,” Xia Yi smiled. “Don’t worry. The evil dragon has been persuaded by me.”
Atiya returned to her human form. No one had expected that the fierce, rampaging evil dragon was actually a quiet, reserved, and beautiful woman.
Everyone present saw that the blue dragon beauty’s hands were cuffed, and she was now very docile, nothing like the ferocious beast she had been moments ago.
“Xia Yi, what’s going on?” Wallace asked.
Xia Yi explained to everyone: “I fought three hundred rounds with the evil blue dragon. During the battle, I kept trying to communicate with her, appealing to both reason and emotion. I succeeded in making her realize her mistakes. The blue dragon deeply understood her wrongdoings and repented.”
“I am very sorry for the trouble I have caused everyone. Under the persuasion of my kinswoman, I have seen the light,” Atiya said in a remorseful voice. “I have come to Maginot Fortress to apologize to everyone and am willing to accept any punishment.”
“Huh??”
Everyone found it utterly unbelievable.
The little silver dragon had subdued the ferocious evil blue dragon?
“Daisy, what do we do?” Wallace asked.
The other soldiers were also completely bewildered.
“Well…”
Daisy had never anticipated such an unexpected situation and was still considering how to handle it.
Seeing everyone conflicted, Xia Yi felt the time was right and stepped forward to speak.
“I have a good suggestion. How about everyone hear me out?”
