The Almighty Dragon General
Chapter 7148

As his words trailed off, a few more explosions emanated from the collapsed stronghold. It was a sound so uniform and terrifying that it would send shivers down people's spines.

Even Biefren, hovering in the void, swiftly returned to James' side out of caution. "What's that sound, James?

Before James could answer, the gravely wounded old man exclaimed," That's the Divine Army! They're more dreadful than Xanthakos' Marauder Army. If they breach the stronghold, it will spell disaster for the Wyrmscale Source.

Biefren's expression darkened upon hearing his explanation. However, James remained seated, unperturbed.

As the thunderous rumble grew louder, a dark mass resembling a raging sea appeared in the distance. The Divine Army had shown up.

They marched in four square formations, roughly 10,000 in number. Though their numbers were not impressive, their murderous intent truly chilled the air.

After halting a light year away, a graceful and beautiful figure emerged from the formation and descended before James.

She bowed and greeted respectfully, "I'm Lord Goyo's trusted Subordinate, the Tikos Path King, Zaila Jasperson. It's an honor to meet you, Mortal Emperor." James responded with a smile.

Suddenly, Zaila said coldly, "Do you really intend to side with a tyrant, James?" James asked, "What status do you hold as a Path King?"

Zaila was stunned by his questions.

The old man interjected, "Lord Goyo has nine Path Kings, seven War Saints. They're very strong."

James answered nonchalantly, "I see."

He turned back to Zaila and asked, "Are you here for peace negotiations or war?" Zaila replied arrogantly, "That depends on your decision. You're one of the five Chosen Ones that Lord Goyo had chosen.

"Your title isn't just an honor. You're qualified to become the next Supreme Path. Are you foolish enough to forfeit such an opportunity?"

James arched an eyebrow, turned to Biefren, and asked, is she threatening me?" Beifren nodded and answered, "Uhh...Well, yeah. She's implying that Lord Goyo can elevate and strip you of your title."

James looked at Zaila and asked, is that what you meant?"

Zaila snapped, "Yes! I advise you not to act recklessly. We have the highest expectations for you to become the Supreme Path. Why would you jeopardize your future for Xanthakos? Moreover, you have no grievances with Lord Goyo, so why meddle unnecessarily?"

"Continue ruling over the Wyrmscale Source and integrate your Five Spirits. Once everything is over, you can ascend as the Supreme Path. Isn't that way easier?"

James sipped his Chaos Absinthe and said, "Is that your idea or what Goyo told you to say?"

Zaila was at a loss for words.

James looked at Beifren and said, "She couldn't answer. It must be her words."
