From Baron to Lord

The entire imperial capital looked incredibly magnificent. In terms of scale alone, it was even larger than the cities of the Radiant Empire.

Alan couldn't imagine how they had built such a large stone castle.

After all, they didn't have magic and could only rely on manpower to build it.

Alan didn't hesitate and flew directly into the imperial capital.

It seemed their guess was correct. Those guys had already transported everything away, and many residents had also left.

Now, only a few scattered people remained on the outskirts. The closer one got to the city center, the fewer people there were, almost none, a deathly silence.

Hearing the noise, they subconsciously looked up and only saw a few dragons. It seemed they didn't know they were invaders.

On the contrary, many people came out to watch, and some were even cheering.

Alan ignored them and went straight to the palace.

The furnishings inside were more luxurious, but they were also built of stone, full of a rough atmosphere.

A sweep of mental power downwards immediately revealed that it was empty inside. Almost all the valuable things were gone.

Only some stone chairs were left inside, very empty.

Moreover, the placement inside was messy and dirty, probably to disgust Alan on purpose.

Alan naturally didn't care about these things. After taking a casual look, he prepared to destroy the place. "Huh?"

Suddenly, Alan noticed something and came to a place, and the remaining people hurriedly followed.

They came to an open space, where it was very tidy. A line of words was written on the ground.

It was the language of the Source World, and Alan and the others recognized it at a glance.

As Saint-tier and Legendary-realm experts, not only had their strength increased, but their mental power had also greatly increased.

The biggest benefit was that their learning ability was countless times faster than ordinary people.

They had already learned their language when fighting against the Source World.

Now, they naturally saw what was written on it at a glance. "You will eventually be defeated—Illidan."

"Hmph, they're just putting on a tough front."

Alan didn't get angry when he saw this, thinking it was nothing important.

After all, they were now the biggest winners.

"Alright, let's get down to business," Alan said, and they immediately flew around and began wanton destruction.

Although these were carefully constructed by those demi-humans, they couldn't withstand the destruction of the Dragon Knights.

Many buildings collapsed one after another, and stones fell to the ground with a loud noise, shattering into pieces.

Countless dust clouds rose, and the entire imperial capital changed completely, with ruins everywhere.

When those demi-humans saw this scene, they immediately understood their identities and fled outwards, crying and shouting. … … … … … Seeking flowers …

They ignored those guys. After all, their goal was to destroy the imperial capital, and killing more demi-humans was useless.

Moreover, they were proud Dragon Knights. Now they actually had to slaughter those old, weak, sick, and disabled guys, which was really embarrassing.

Under the tacit understanding, none of them took action, and they left the entire palace to Alan.

By the time Alan flew into the sky, the ground below was already a ruin, leaving only the palace where he was standing.

Alan raised his left hand, and a yellow light appeared in his palm.

Alan took one last look below, and his left hand pressed down, and suddenly, the entire area where the palace was located sank a lot, and a large pit appeared on the ground. . 0 Not only that, the shockwave continued to spread, and the ruins that had been destroyed by others turned into dust.

The entire imperial capital seemed as if it had never existed.

Looking at such great power, they couldn't help but look at Alan with awe.

Alan didn't expect to achieve such a great effect.

He just thought of the gravity of the Golden Behemoth and had a new idea in his mind, adding it to the magic circle.

Looking at such great power, Alan was also pleasantly surprised. It seemed that he needed to continue working hard in this area next.

Seeing that the imperial capital had been destroyed by them, Alan didn't linger and directly beckoned them to leave.

Back at the military camp, he saw many soldiers busy. Although Cruise had given them a holiday, and they had worked all night.

But after all, it was daytime, and many people still hadn't slept and were handling matters.

Among them, the workers building the railway were the most active. After all, their merit was calculated according to the length of the railway they built. The sooner they finished building the railway, the sooner they could go back.

Of course, Alan strictly ensured the quality of the railway and wouldn't let them rush things recklessly.

Their progress was still very good. When Alan returned to the army, he had already seen that dozens of kilometers of railway had been laid in two days.

This was already very rare. Although many parts were prepared, the task was still very heavy.

The road surface had to be flat, and a large amount of qualified wood was needed. Several.

Chapter 504 Cruise's Gift

Now the military camp, without missions, is still quite relaxed.

"Do you know why we haven't seen those Dragon Knights today?" A thin, Silver-rank soldier looked at the others with a mysterious expression.

"Hey, you're right, I really didn't see them today." Others immediately became interested.

Normally, those Dragon Knights would sometimes fly on dragons. At that time, they would all hold their heads high, looking longing.

Even if they weren't riding dragons, they would often see them.

After all, they were from the Knights, and those Marco, Duke Will, and so on.

Whether it was those who had led them before, or those who saw that they were knights under Alan, they would often come by for a look.

Today, they noticed that the dragon knights and the dragons had decreased in number, and while they were wondering why, they heard about the situation. “990”

“Tell us what happened, kid.”

The skinny knight looked around and said mysteriously, “I’m telling you, they went with the King on a mission.”

“A mission?” Those people didn’t believe it. “What mission requires the King and those dragon knights to go together?”

“What I’m saying is true.” The knight became anxious. “I didn’t sleep this morning, and I saw the King and the other dragon knights’ dragons fly away.”

“Moreover, my younger brother is under Marshal Cruise, and they all know that the King has already decided to take those dragon knights to destroy the capital of the Source World.”

“Destroy their capital?” The surrounding people immediately widened their eyes and leaned in.

After all, this sounded too exciting. The capital was the most important place for those Source World creatures, and yet it was going to be destroyed.

In previous battles, this had almost never happened.

After all, most of the time they were evenly matched. The kingdom would not easily attack a duchy, not just within the same empire, but even between different empires. That was the default rule of the continent.

After all, that would be starting a war, but it would also keep the war at a very small stage. Going to the enemy's hinterland with experts at this time, wouldn't that be courting death?

It's just that the current Source World has suffered a great loss of vitality, and its experts are no match for the Alan Kingdom at all.

That's why Alan dared to take action boldly. If those guys didn't know where they had run off to, Alan would have given them a surprise.

However, in this current Source World, Mina's intelligence system is completely useless.

Moreover, the difference between humans and them can be seen at a glance, making it impossible to infiltrate.

Currently, apart from the army advancing, the only other option is to rely on the knights riding swift birds every day. “The King is really amazing, he even destroyed the capital.”

“Of course, when has the King ever failed?”

“It seems we will also win soon.”

They were all talking at once, full of confidence in Alan and their success. After all, in their hearts, there was nothing the King couldn't accomplish.

Destroying the capital of the Source World greatly boosted their confidence. After all, if even their capital is gone, failure is only a matter of time.

Seeing this situation, the knight smiled and went elsewhere.

This situation also appeared in many places. Cruise's actions were very fast.

When Alan and the others returned, the entire army was discussing this matter.

Seeing the figures of the dragons in the sky, they also cheered.

Alan knew that Cruise had released this news.

When they arrived at the barracks, Alan looked at Illidan and the others and simply nodded. They naturally knew that the mission was completed.

Although they were prepared, they couldn't help but reveal smiles.

After all, this was directly destroying the capital of others, and the effect was huge. Just looking at the warriors outside, you could tell.

“Your Majesty, to celebrate this success, I have a gift for you.” Cruise looked at Alan.

Alan didn't expect this. Cruise never cared much about this. He didn't expect that Cruise would have a gift for him.

“Okay, let me see what good things you have.” Alan agreed with a smile, also a little curious.

Cruise glanced behind him, and immediately the person behind him went out. Soon, two people carried something over and placed it on the central table.

Alan could also see that this was a rolled-up piece of paper. When they unfolded it, Alan discovered that it was a map.

“This is a map of the Source World…” Before Alan could ask, Cruise had already spoken.

What?

Alan knew that getting this thing was only a matter of time, but he didn't expect Cruise to do it so quickly.

You need to know, how long has it been now?

At most, only a day and a night had passed, but Cruise had actually drawn such a map.

The others looked at Cruise in disbelief. Cruise seemed to have expected this, and only smiled faintly. Although he didn't say anything, Alan could still see that his face was full of pride.

“When I learned that we were going to war with the Source World, I prepared for this aspect.”

“I asked Mina to go to the territory of the Netherworld Archduke and scout out a lot of information about the Source World.”

“Later, when Marquis Harry came, I was even happier. I spent a lot of time communicating with them and learned more about the terrain of the Source World.”

“Since their last passage was in the east, I obtained maps of many areas. After our passage opened this time, I also sent some people to collect information.”

“Later, there were those prisoners, whom I interrogated. Finally, in this one day, I sent out a large number of swift birds to complete this map.”

Cruise spoke lightly, but Alan knew his efforts.

“Cruise, well done.” Alan patted him on the shoulder.
