237,
Blending into the night sky, the pitch-black dragon spread its massive wings and soared high. With the flames of its black fire burning beneath it, a raging inferno ignited beneath the Tower of Gluttony. It was hard to imagine that a camp abandoned by Allen's army would have a hole at such a crucial moment in the intense battle on the northern and southern fronts.
Daniel rushed into the tent and found a large hole big enough for a carriage to enter. Luckily, Jealousy bent down and transformed into a dragon, able to enter as well. The hole was large, well-lit, and even wider inside, with a width of over twenty meters, allowing three black dragons to move at the same time. Judging by the support pillars, this was a temporary tunnel excavated in a straight line leading to the Misty Poison Marsh.
"What is this?!" Daniel's carriage got farther and farther away, leaving Jealousy with no opportunity to analyze the situation. In the underground passage, which was only three meters high, the height of a carriage, Jealousy couldn't even jump and could only crawl continuously. However, dragons were originally land creatures and crawled faster than horses. In less than ten seconds, Jealousy caught up with Daniel. "Human!!" Jealousy sprayed black fire while crashing through the wooden pillars, relentlessly pursuing Daniel. Impossible! Meanwhile, Jealousy also felt fear in her heart. Who would be so foolish?! Digging a tunnel beneath the Misty Poison Marsh? Wasn't it supposed to be a quick attack? Hasn't the military force been divided into three now?
Considering all the inherent conditions of Allen's army, Jealousy simply couldn't have anticipated this. However, Daniel had already turned these inherent conditions around. Allen's army consisted of a temporary mixture of soldiers, and coordinated marching strategies and team battles fought with organization and formation were absolutely impractical. Every warrior who participated in the Allen Martial Arts Tournament was an individual combatant, and in order to make the most of this, Daniel had never intended to develop tactics using traditional warfare thinking. That's why Daniel chose carriages to unify their mobility. After marching, he would directly place these individuals in the positions where they needed to engage in combat. Arrogance had once praised the beauty of this tactic—poor mobility, use carriages as a "carrier" to replace and cover up. Directly deploying one powerful combat unit after another to a specific point for targeted defense, turning defense into offense, was the reason why the outnumbered Allen's army was still able to defeat the demons. And now, this tunnel was no different. Allen, the king, and his strongest force, the Summoner Battalion, would be directly deployed to the forefront of Seven Sins City. The burning Misty Poison Marsh, guerrilla warfare on the northern and southern fronts, and the carriage formation—these powerful and extraordinary tactical maneuvers were all just "carriers." Their purpose was to provide cover for the strongest force and directly confront Seven Sins City. "It's all of them! All of them!!" Roaring in anger, Jealousy charged forward, already aware of this fact. There was no turning back, she could only continue her rampage until the end. However, in the narrow underground passage, Jealousy's continuous collisions with the wooden pillars caused the tunnel to start collapsing. "Schnee! Stick to the wall! We can't let the whole road collapse!!" The dragon caught up with Daniel several times, but with Schnee's exquisite carriage-driving skills, they managed to block Jealousy with wooden pillars time and time again.
"Now, why are there so many of them!" the dragon exclaimed.
The dragon and the carriage were only moments away from death.
But even with all the envy boiling inside, the dragon's form became increasingly difficult to maintain after repeated collisions.
"Damn it! Damn it!!!" the dragon cursed.
Suddenly, a large area collapsed, burying the envy once and for all.
The earth-shattering chase finally came to an end, and the exhausted envy reverted back to its human form.
However, this also allowed it to hide among the large chunks of rock, avoiding being buried alive.
Snow's carriage also overturned at the end, but Daniel leaped out, landing perfectly at the entrance of an underground passage leading to a mysterious camp.
Summoners in their magical robes peered out, and among them, one person stepped forward.
"My lord?!" many people were surprised by Daniel's sudden appearance, as the people here had no knowledge of what had happened outside. In order to cut off any possible clues that might be discovered by Arrogance, Daniel didn't even allow a single white snake to accompany him.
And now, Daniel didn't have time to explain everything. He pointed at several summoners and gave his command.
"Kill that envy..."
Just as he was about to finish his sentence, a thought flashed through Daniel's mind.
"Lock that envy... away."
"Yes!" they replied.
After saying that, Daniel turned and ran, all the way to a slightly larger tent.
Without saying a word, Daniel opened the tent and knelt before the Tiny Royania inside.
"Your Majesty!"
