NOVEL NEXT Chapter 183: King of Aragon
"The enemy will surely give chase when they see you retreating. Your target is to run in a way that gives them the idea they will catch up. All you have to do is make it to the town closer there; you will be given the exact location. That town can hold the whole army that will chase you. When they enter the town or get within proximity, it's game over for them—that is phase two.
While you are doing that, we will have evacuated anyone in that town. Then, the guardians, the others, and I will follow and set a full barrier over the town. The barrier will be fully unbreakable, and it will serve as the prison that traps the enemies. That will be phase three, and that is where the plan gets nice.
I will be inside that dome with the enemies, with a recording crystal following me. The receiving crystal will be sent to Aragon by Drake. We will use the two thousand people as bait. We will make demands, and every time they fail to do what we say, I'll hunt down ten or twenty soldiers and kill them," Silva said with a sick smile on his face.
"I doubt the king will yield that easily," Drake said.
"I know. He will attack again through other methods, but we will deal with all that as well."

The army led by Gallan, Dawn, Quin, and Mike headed for the enemy army. They used a portal to get to the town near the border so they would know its location. From there, they marched toward the enemy army to initiate the plan.
When they came in contact with Aragon's enemy, they immediately charged at them, and the Aragon enemy did the same, wanting to crush the small army of five hundred.
In less than fifty minutes, the Aragon enemy was massacring the dark dragon army with loud laughs and joyous roars. But when they were close to killing a hundred, Gallan yelled out, "Fall back!"
With his shout, the army turned around and started running away. The Aragon army was elated when they saw this—their enemies were wimps. They would take them all out like a hunting game. So, they gave chase fiercely, laughing as they ran, slowly catching up to the army.
After five minutes of chasing, they shockingly hadn't killed a single soldier, so they started speeding up. The town appeared, and the dark dragon army ran into it. The Aragon soldiers saw no issue with following them in. In their minds, the dark dragon army was weak and wimpy monsters. They didn't even think of the possibility that it was a trap.
So, they all charged in, and when they were all within range, a dome suddenly formed over the town. To their shock, they didn't see a single member of the army that had run inside.
Suddenly, they heard a voice echo throughout the town. "Welcome, all of you, to my personal death game for fun," Silva said.

When Drake saw that the dome was fully established, it was his turn. He had memorized the route to the capital of Aragon. After calculating, he estimated it would take five minutes to get there at his top speed.
He launched out like a bullet; the sonic boom caused the ground to explode, forming a crater. His speed was so fast that wherever he passed by, it seemed like he was causing ripples in space. Within two minutes, he had arrived at Aragon.
But his target was the capital, so he continued running. In almost five minutes, he arrived at the gates of the capital and bolted through. Nothing from their security could even detect him. He easily made it to the castle.
The doors were shut, but he blasted through and ran into the throne room. Luckily, the king was there—a barbaric-looking man with a thick beard and tan skin. The king wore armor rather than royal robes.
The moment Drake stopped in the throne room, he gave a fright to everyone present. But the king, a serious warrior, immediately pulled out a massive sword and took a fighting stance.
The guards pulled their swords and pointed them at Drake. The whole air became tense, and everyone stared at the intruder in their throne room.
"Calm yourselves. I am a messenger from the Dark Dragon Kingdom—the one you sent your soldiers to. My master and king have asked me to show you this." Drake pulled out the crystal, placed it on the ground, and it projected Silva holding an Aragon soldier by the neck.
"What the hell is this?" the king roared.
"The current situation. But my master will explain more," Drake said.
"Thank you, Drake. The connection is set, so I can talk now. King of Aragon, whatever your name is, all two thousand men that you sent to us have been captured. I'll start killing them one by one if you don't meet my demands.
Oops, I forgot to tell you who I am. I am the Demon King candidate and king of the Dark Dragon Kingdom. Back to what I was saying—their lives are in your hands," Silva said and crushed the neck of the guard, killing him instantly.
"I will reach out to you with the first demand in an hour. So, all of you, sit down and wait," Silva said and turned off the connection.
The King of Aragon was already seething with rage. He pointed at Drake and yelled, "Capture that man now!"
The guards moved to capture Drake, but he smirked. He stomped on the floor, causing the marble to explode and scatter in all directions. Then, he moved and knocked out all the guards. Discover hidden stories at m-vl_em_pyr
When the dust settled, the king saw all his guards on the ground. The king roared in anger and leaped into the air, his sword glowing red as he slashed down. But Drake used only a finger to block it. He smiled at the shocked king and vanished.
