Chapter 409: The Order's Stance

A couple days after the attack Caelum returned, with the villagers 'replacements' in tow.

Caelum was leading a line of short, reptilian humanoid creatures through the village. Their scaled bodies were brown and dull compared to the true dragons', and their expressions were almost disturbingly joyful.

The villagers, who were being released from their servitude and were giddy with excitement, still paled in comparison to the sheer joy on the faces of these scaled creatures taking their place

The creatures, which Kain found out were kobolds, chattered excitedly among themselves, their large, expressive eyes darting around the village with undisguised glee.

"Praise the dragons! Glorious masters of fire and might!" one of them exclaimed, its voice high-pitched and grating.

"Finally, we get to serve them directly!" another shouted, practically hopping as it scampered to keep up with the others.
