Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
When Richard returned to his senses, he looked at the fat commander starkly proud of himself and did not know what to say.
This plot was too far-fetched.
The Scarlet Council wanted to overthrow the Templar City, and he was deeply bound to the Scarlet Council.
Not only did he take a drop of the holy dragon’s blood, but he also used the corpse of the templar dragoons to recruit the skeleton blood dragon…
He might have to continue making enemies with the templar dragoons.
But now, he had become the enemy’s officer. Did this count as entering the enemy’s camp?
However, this medal was still okay. It could increase his strength by 10%. The additional gains were not for nothing.
Richard wore the medal on his chest with peace of mind.
The fat commander quickly turned his attention to business.
“Draco, searching for the Third Princess is the most important thing at the moment. Come with me!”
After the fat commander said that, he led him out of the residence and began to call for the army.
Not long after, a 1,000-man army arrived. The newly appointed level-five commander was in high spirits and assigned Richard a small team of subordinates.
Rare level 9 soldiers — Longsword warriors.
It was only now that Richard realized how powerful the Templar City’s army was.
The lowest level in the barracks was the rare-level type of soldier, the glorious type, or even the higher type of soldier.
And this was only the city guard army. The elite in charge of fighting was probably even more powerful.
After the army gathered, the fat commander came to the high platform in front of him. His voice was filled with anger as he roared.
“The Third Princess went missing for no reason several hours ago. His Majesty the King was furious and issued a death order. We must get her back within a day!
“The city guards are responsible for the safety of the city. The Third Princess went missing. We have a responsibility that we can not shun!
“Next, we must find the Third Princess at all costs. Even if we can find clues, we will be rewarded handsomely!
“Everyone set off immediately!”
With the fat commander’s order, Richard had no choice but to lead the squad of longsword warriors out to patrol with the army.
What was going on?
He could only think of a way to slip away on the way… ‘This fat commander is also a scammer. I helped you get promoted, and you will treat me like this?’
Stepping out of the barracks, he immediately felt the chill of the atmosphere.
It was already late at night, but several soldiers still walked on the streets.
The winged angels and the templar dragoons appeared in groups in the sky.
The scene looked extremely grand.
It made him feel something was wrong. Although the status of the Third Princess of the empire was noble, there was no need to go to such great lengths, right?
It was understandable under normal circumstances, but now was the time when the four dark camps of the Covenant of Evil’s army approached Templar City.
Wasn’t it insane to use so many armies to find the Third Princess?
Was the Oath of Light taking GG’s script this time? With such a king, it would be difficult to find him.
While Richard was hesitant, he approached the fat commander and asked.
“Sir, what are the characteristics of the Third Princess? Where did she go missing? How are we going to find her?”
The fat commander could be described as stupid by intelligence reports, so his reaction was not that good. Richard asked, but he did not ponder about it and directly told him everything.
The more Richard heard, the more shocked he became.
The Third Princess was not a member of the royal family who had nothing to do. She was the commander of the templar dragoons.
She was a superb existence that was above level 20.
When the Third Princess was born, the king of the Templar City had specially begged for the blood of a demigod-level dragon to bathe it in dragon blood and let it grow up.
She was exceedingly powerful and talented when she came of age.
She won the respect of the terrifying templar dragoons and became their commander.
The Third Princess was a Templar City genius and was a salient member of this battle.
At such a critical moment, the commander of the templar dragoons disappeared.
No wonder His Majesty the King was furious.
Even if the other party did not have the identity of the Third Princess, the commotion couldn’t be small.
“A level 20 hero has disappeared in the city. The waters are too deep…”
Richard became more vigilant. After he got the information he wanted, his thoughts changed. He said, “Sir, the Templar City is so big. It’s too inefficient for us to continue searching like this, and it’s easy for other armies to get ahead of us…”
“I suggest that we split up into small teams and search separately. That way, we’ll have 100 search teams, and the chances of finding them will be much higher than if we all gather together.”
The silly fat commander nodded his head in praise.
“Not bad, that’s a good idea!”
As he spoke, he quickly ordered the army to split up into small teams and search for the Third Princess.
Initially, the fat commander wanted to bring Richard along so that he could give him some ideas.
However, Richard did not want to follow this guy. He found an excuse to fool him and wandered around the city with his subordinates.
Along the way, he saw many players. These guys had received similar missions. They were all very motivated and went wherever they went.
After two hours, just as Richard was hesitant about whether or not there was a problem with the dwarf’s rescue plan.
‘Thump! Thump! Thump!’
A small team of longsword warriors behind him all fell to the ground.
Richard suddenly turned around and saw the figure hidden in the shadows.
His tone was full of surprise.
“Sir Ferguson!”
Ferguson was also in a great mood when he saw Richard.
“Richard, it’s all thanks to you this time…”
As Ferguson spoke, it looked up at the templar dragoons that flew everywhere and waved its hand.
“This is not the place to talk. Let’s leave first.”
As it spoke, it waved his hand, and a wave of energy enveloped the being.
The Concealment Power.
However, when Ferguson used it now, it was countless times stronger than before…
Richard opened his attribute panel, and the other party had returned to normal.
The power of a level-19 hero was no longer discounted.
He was relieved.
This A-rank mission had been completed in a strange and tortuous way.
Facing angels and demons was not something an ordinary person could bear, not to mention other things.
After Ferguson winded around for half an hour, it led Richard into a luxurious manor.
When Richard stepped into the hall, he immediately saw level 19 dwarf Knowles sitting on a chair and drinking tea. He had a chicken head.
“Oh, my friend! Hahaha, you completed our plan!”
When Knowles saw Richard, the dwarf directly jumped down from the stool.
It said happily, “You didn’t see how sublime the Scarlet Council elder’s expression was when it wanted to gather the army but found the Templar City entangled its minions!!”
“I swear, that was the funniest scene I’ve seen in the past ten years!
“You’re a genius, Richard!”
After Knowles shared its joy with Richard, it looked at Ferguson arrogantly.
“Ferguson, you idiot. If not for the powerful master Knowles and Richard’s help, that bastard David would have still imprisoned you. You should thank us!”
The corner of Ferguson’s mouth twitched, but it did not care about Knowle’s words.
It waved his hand, and a crystal that emitted powerful magic waves appeared out of thin air.
When the crystal appeared, a wave of magic energy swept through the surroundings.
One didn’t need to look to know that it was a high-level treasure.
Ferguson stretched out and handed it to Richard.
Most sincere gratitude filled its tone.
“Richard, this is the reward I promised you… The dragon crystal I obtained from the ancient ruins can transform your undead dragon into an A-rank hero.”
Richard’s breathing quickened as he reached out to receive the dragon crystal and opened his attribute panel.
[Ancient Dragon Crystal]
[Level: Special]
[Characteristics: A treasure taken from the head of a level 29 dragon hero. Can transform a dragon-type lifeform into a hero unit.]
[Description: Only dragons above level 20 can give birth to dragon crystal. Every Dragon crystal is a treasure to a dragon.]
“Hahahahahaha!!
“Finally! Finally! Finally!!”
A powerful dragon hero was about to be born in his hands!
Richard was indescribably excited at this moment.
This was an A-rank hero and a dragon hero at that!!
Ferguson continued after Richard’s excitement subsided a little.
“When your undead dragon transforms into a hero unit, it will consume a large amount of flesh and soul. You must be prepared for transformation again. If he lacks sufficient energy, his potential may not reach A-rank.”
After Richard firmly remembered this point, he looked directly at Ferguson and said in a solemn tone.
“Sir, your promise has been fulfilled.”
Ferguson laughed loudly.
“No, it’s far from it. This time, I definitely won’t be able to escape without your help. I still owe you a favor…
“But I don’t know what gift to give you for the time being. If you need anything, you can tell me. I’ll help you get it.”
Ferguson was full of confidence after recovering to a peak when it said this.
The corners of Richard’s mouth curled up slightly.
“Then let’s wait… I believe more in what you’ve prepared for me.”
These words threw the burden on Richard.
At least it was a life-saving favor. If he could return it, it wouldn’t be worse than the blood of the holy dragon and the dragon crystal, right?
Ferguson couldn’t help but laugh. “Young man, you’re honestly too similar to me in the past…”
At that moment, Richard suddenly thought of something. “What’s going on?”
He said in a condensed voice, “The Third princess of the templar dragoons and the commander of the Templar City went missing a few hours ago. The Templar City will ultimately stir up a storm.
“I’m afraid that the situation will change drastically. Is this manor safe? Should we leave Templar City first?…”
Ferguson and Knowles were about to speak when a tall figure who wore a black cloak appeared at the open door.
The figure’s face, hidden in the hood, only revealed a pair of blue eyes.
The soul-stirring light was like a giant beast crouching in the night, ready to unleash its most brutal attack at any time.
‘Thud! Thud! Thud! Thud!’
The crisp sound of footsteps came from the leather boots as the figure walked into the hall step by step.
It slowly walked up to Richard and looked directly into his eyes.
“Third princess…”
The tone was a little hoarse.
“We caught her.”
Richard’s scalp went numb.
The Scarlet Council captured this level 20 hero who led the templar dragoons and had countless people protecting them.
‘Do you want to be hanged like this…’
