“Hmmm? Mmm… Yes, most of them are only level 100. There are still a few at level 90.” Desaray replied. This was normal for her since her people were all willing to go level. Even the most common citizen was at least level 60 at this point. They had been power-leveling everyone in large groups in the raids of at least a hundred people at a time. With Oinktera and the others leading the way, all these people, from young to old, were gaining levels like crazy.

“That is…. Do you even need the help of the other races? If you were to stand on our doorstep with such an army, I would have no choice but to bow my head and surrender.” Garnet had no words to describe how he felt at this time. As a dragon, one of the most feared races of the other world, he could only bow down to Desaray and her army. He felt just her alone was enough to wipe out the demon queens.

“It’s more for insurance. Even if we could hold our own, we probably could not fully defeat them. You have to understand that this continent does not belong to my kingdom alone. If you wish to grow ties and trade between other factions, you need to do so by forming ties in a mutual manner. If we fight alongside each other won’t we have a better understanding of each other’s abilities and ways? I am not some dictator. Far from it. My entire council consists of members from the other races. We do what needs to get done for each race so that they can have places for them to live that fit their natural habitats.

“And mainly since this is a threat that concerns us all, I do believe each kingdom should pitch in to help. I am not one to save others just because I am kind. I will defend my people but to do so while not gaining anything from the other kingdoms who might see this as a chance to attack my own, well… I might just end up going on a conquest if any harm came to my people. That is if you could ever get past my defenses but to even attack means war.” Desaray explained bluntly. She may be considered a goddess but she cared more about her own people than others. If she had a church here in this kingdom, then she would need to protect it to save her followers, but she did not.

Ricky watched as his daughter confidently wrapped the dragon king around her finger with out doing much of anything but using words and felt that he had really missed an important part of her life. He missed her rise as a capable leader. In fact, he was very proud of her. She was confident and had her own morals. She had grown to become an amazing person. A person who could lead a kingdom even in war without flinching.

Yi Ling was not surprised by the turn of events. She already knew that Desaray was capable. She had been working hard at her side all this time so she understood that Desaray would stop at nothing to protect her own.

Garnet let out a sigh as he tossed his hands in the air. “You win. I can not argue with the facts at hand. You are using this war not only to form ties but also to keep your own people safe at the same time. To be honest, this is very smart. I also agree that each kingdom should do something about the demon queens. You have my full support, I will also send a few dragons with you to help protect your kingdom as well while you are fighting. You can even bind them by a magical contract as well. This way, you know they will not cause any harm to your people.”

“A pact of trust is enough. No need for anything over the top. Since we are going to form an alliance then we should be able to put some trust in each other. Since you are willing to send a few dragons to my kingdom while we deal with the demon queens, I will accept. I was also thinking of maybe forming a new form of office where each kingdom sends an ambassador to the other’s kingdom. This way, we can keep political ties much easier.” Desaray’s idea was not new to her world, but she was not sure about the other world.

“This is also a good idea. As for trade routes, we dragons will share our portal technology in order to establish an easier route so that merchants do not need to travel great distances. Each portal will be guarded on each side and strictly monitored. What do you think?” Garnet was more than willing to deepen ties with Desaray and her kingdom. Such military might was not something to joke about. If he did not take this chance to form a deep relationship, now wouldn’t he be kicking a metal wall when things get out of hand by some idiot who thinks dragons are the superior race?

“This also sounds good. We will write up more details after we flesh out everything else. But war preparations are needed first. We need to seize a bit of land on the other continent and set up a base of operations as soon as possible. We have already scouted the area, so we do have a location, but now we just need to move people around.”
