Era of Castles: Starting with 99 Dragon Eggs

Chapter 450 The Ruler’s Army!

The intention of the Ruler was very obvious. He wanted to make Mike back down.

Mike hurriedly said to him, “Your Majesty, this golden chair isn’t for me, right?”

The Ruler looked at Mike with some surprise, but a smile was already plastered on his face. “Mike, don’t worry about it. You’re already a divine-tier expert with two divine-tier summoning beasts. This is an amazing thing. After all, how many divine-tier experts would be unable to obtain a single divine-tier summoning beast in their entire lives?”

Hearing this, Mike thought that the Ruler had indeed found out about it. However, he said, “A divine-tier summoning beast like the Azure Dragon is far more powerful than me!”

“Oh?” The Ruler looked at Mike and asked, “So, you’re very clear about this?”

Mike’s expression did not change. He said to the Ruler, “This is what everyone thinks.”

The Ruler nodded. He was very satisfied with Mike’s answer. He looked at Mike and said, “That doesn’t matter. Mike, you can sit.”

Mike took a step forward and said firmly, “I don’t want to sit!”

The Ruler laughed loudly. His laughter echoed in the huge palace.

He looked at Mike and said, “Then that’s it. I’ll give you an ordinary chair. Don’t decline this time.”

Mike did not refuse anymore. He understood that this was the best result he could get. He understood that his goal had been achieved. Mike looked at the Ruler and immediately understood that as long as he did not sit in the same chair as the Ruler, he would be fine.

However, Mike was already on guard. He understood that the Ruler had been acting strangely recently. It was probably a big show, and he was also one of the main characters in this big show.

Soon, the chair was changed. Mike bowed to the Ruler and sat down on the chair.

The Ruler looked at Mike and nodded. “Mike, actually, you should know why I came to find you this time.”

Mike nodded and said, “Your Majesty, of course, I know. However, if you want to lead your own people to deal with the Dark Magi, it will be a bit difficult.”

The Ruler nodded. “I understand your difficulties, so I thought of a compromise.”

Mike looked at the Ruler and asked, “What is

it?!

The Ruler said, “You can choose 50 divine-tier experts in the Northern Region to be the vanguard and fight against the Dark Magi together with you. As for heaven-tier and high-tier troops, you can have as many as you want. If you don’t have enough, you can hire mercenaries.”

Hearing this, Mike was startled. He now had 50 divine-tier experts. He still frowned and said to the Ruler, “There’s still no way to do this.”

The Ruler frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Mike said, “According to our investigations, there is at least 500 divine-tier undead in the Otherworld right now. Moreover, the number of these undead is still increasing. Moreover, we’ve already lost more than ten prefectures. Even if we have to counterattack back to a prefecture and shrink our battle lines, we still have to set up a garrison in five prefectures. Having 50 people set up in five prefectures is actually not enoough. Moreover, when the eastern side is ready in two days, the pressure on the defense will increase greatly.”

When the Ruler heard this, he looked at Mike with a cold smile and asked, “Then how many people do you need?”

Mike said, “At least the Vanguard Team.”

“How many?” The Ruler was shocked by Mike’s big mouth. He looked at Mike and said in a deep voice, “The Vanguard Team is absolutely impossible. How about this, you get 60 people.”

The Ruler increased the number of divine-tier experts. However, this was not the result that Mike wanted, so he obviously could not agree. Mike shook his head and said, “60 people is too little. I need at least 90 people.”

The Ruler’s face darkened and said to Mike, “Just 60 people.”

Mike sighed and said, “That’s fine, but you must promise that these people will listen to me. I don’t want the internal fight to start before the fight starts.”

The Ruler nodded and said, “I can promise you this. The thing that you are worried about will never happen.”

Mike nodded and asked, “Your Majesty, when can we meet those people?”

The Ruler looked at Mike and said proudly, “In less than an hour, we will definitely meet them.”

Mike was very surprised. He looked at the Ruler and restrained some of the thoughts in his heart. He nodded and bowed to the Ruler and said, “Then I’ll make a trip to the frontlines.”

When the Ruler heard this, he nodded and said to Mike, “Alright. When you come back, I’ll arrange a feast for you and all the meritorious subjects.”

Mike nodded. Just then, the head guard walked in and said to the Ruler, “Your Majesty, the 60 divine-tier experts who have been summoned are already waiting outside the palace hall.”

Hearing that, the Ruler straightened his back and looked at Mike, saying, “Mike, come out with me to take a look at the heroic bearing of this group of experts.”

Mike did not like this term very much. He looked at the Ruler and tactfully nodded.

Mike followed the Ruler out of the palace hall. The 60 divine-tier experts were lined up in a square formation, quietly looking at Mike and the Ruler.

When they saw their leader come out, they did not dare to be negligent and shouted one after another, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

At the same time, a portion of the people also saw Mike. When they saw that Mike was so young, they started to grumble.

“Could this guy be our commander-in-chief?”

“I don’t think so. This guy is so young. He should be a successor of some Dark Continent who has been training with us.”

“That makes sense. If this guy is our commander-in-chief, I will never agree to

it.”

These words entered Mike and the Ruler’s ears. The Ruler chuckled. He looked at everyone, pressed his hands together, and said in a clear voice, “Be quiet. Let me introduce you. This is your commander-in-chief, Mike. Next, you will follow him to the front line to fight against the Dark Magi.”

As soon as he said this, it was as if a string of firecrackers had been thrown into a pig sty. Not only was it loud, but some pig shit had also exploded.

A person walked out. He puffed out his chest and looked at the Ruler. “Your Majesty, I am not convinced.”

“Oh?” The Ruler said. “Why are you not convinced?”

The person said, “We have never heard of this person. This person is not a noble of the royal family. How can he lead us to fight against the Dark Magi?”

Another person jumped out. He pointed at Mike and said, “I know this guy. He killed Barr of the Barr family in the Northern Region. Otherwise, Barr should be the one who was summoned here, not me!”

The Ruler’s face became serious. He said to that person, “If it’s a personal grudge, settle it after the battle. Now we’re discussing whether Mike is qualified to be the commander.”

Another person jumped out. He looked at the Ruler and said, “Your Majesty, I’d like to apply for a one-on-one duel with this whatever Dragon Castle Lord. If I lose, I’ll be willing to follow his orders. If I win, I’d like to ask him to get down from his position as the commander-in-chief.”

When the Ruler looked at this divine-tier expert, he found him to be rather cute. When Mike saw this scene, he just found it funny.
