Chapter 127: Maybe the Dragon Masters in Mythical Stories Are All Farmers?
For a time,
The entire Baitan City was cheering and shouting for the soldiers!
At this moment, many of the soldiers had yet to recover from the shock.
---
"Wait... They really surrendered?"
"Dear God… An army of 100,000 wizards surrendered without a fight!?"
"Can you blame them? Didn't you see the man on the dragon's back? He's wearing our Dragon Kingdom military uniform!"
"For the Voodoo Clan, the Voodoo Dragon is their god. Even if this dragon is still in its infancy, it's still their god! Their god has switched sides, so what choice do the servants have!?"
"Wait, are you saying that's the Voodoo Dragon itself!?"
"Impossible! The Voodoo Dragon is supposed to be the size of an aerial fortress! This dragon is big, sure, but it's much smaller than the legends say!"
"It's true! I just confirmed with the command center. The Voodoo Dragon was besieged by three king-level disaster beasts and was forced into rebirth. It's still in its infancy and only level 30!"
"That's why the Voodoo Clan started this war—to capture Baitan City, the Earth's Essence Hub, so their god could regain its peak strength!"
"But guess what? The Voodoo Dragon mistook the captured Xu Yan for its father!"
"And that's how the entire 100,000-strong Voodoo army ended up surrendering…"
---
"Wait, wait, WAIT!"
"You're telling me the reason we won this war… is because of Xu Yan ALONE!?"
"That he got captured, became a dragon's parent, and single-handedly flipped the war!?"
"This is insane!"
"But the most crucial question is… how did Xu Yan make the Voodoo Dragon acknowledge him!?"
"That's impossible!"
"I have no idea. Maybe it's something mythical."
"You mean like the ancient legends? The ones about Dragon Masters?"
"Yeah! In Dragon Kingdom mythology, there were people born with a dragon-like aura, capable of bonding with dragon-type disaster beasts and becoming sky-soaring Dragon Knights."
"That's just a fairy tale! You're saying Xu Yan is a Dragon Knight now!?"
"Well, he did somehow manage to control a dragon beast…"
"Wait, wasn't Xu Yan a farmer during the recruit assessment?"
"Yeah, he was! How the hell does a farmer end up controlling a dragon!?"
"Who knows… Maybe all the legendary Dragon Masters were just farmers?"
---
The wizard army took their positions outside Baitan City.
15 great shamans removed all their armor and weapons and followed Xu Yan and the Voodoo Dragon into the city.
At the city gates,
The Baitan City military security force was shocked by the scene.
15 great shamans were equivalent to 15 Xichuan generals!
The Voodoo Clan had such terrifying combat power!?
If the two sides had really fought, how many of us would have survived…?
The soldiers looked at Xu Yan leading the Voodoo Dragon and the great shamans and showed expressions of relief and admiration.
This kid must be a legendary Dragon Master.
Without him, both sides would have suffered massive casualties.
Everyone owed him their lives.
---
Soon, the top brass of the provincial military region received the news.
They had previously been worried about Baitan City.
Even after sending reinforcements, they knew it would barely be enough.
Because their biggest fear was the Voodoo Dragon's hidden king-level combat power.
But now—
The senior officials watched the footage from District Chief Wang…
And they saw Xu Yan riding a dragon through the skies.
Everyone froze.
When they realized this dragon was actually the Voodoo Dragon, they lost their minds.
---
"Wait… That's the Voodoo Dragon!?"
"It actually fell and was reborn in Nirvana!?"
"AND IT THINKS A CAPTURED RECRUIT IS ITS FATHER!?"
"How does that even happen!?"
"This is ridiculous!"
"So… Baitan City's crisis is just… over!?"
"Wait! It's not just that!"
"This is a Voodoo Dragon! An ancient dragon species! In 10 years, it will regain its peak and become a KING-LEVEL disaster beast!"
"KING-LEVEL combat power! That's the foundation of an entire country!"
"Our Xichuan Province hasn't had a king-level powerhouse for hundreds of years!"
"Even if it's a disaster beast, as long as Xu Yan controls it, we HAVE king-level combat power!"
"This isn't just a victory for Xichuan Province! This is a victory for the ENTIRE DRAGON KINGDOM!"
"We need to keep Xu Yan on our side!"
"How do we reward him!?"
---
"Extraordinary merit?"
"No, that's not enough!"
"Then what!? That's the highest reward we can give!"
"Forget the rewards! We need to raise his military rank immediately!"
"Xu Yan is still a low-level private! If other provinces hear about this, they'll LAUGH at us—and worse, they'll try to STEAL HIM!"
"We can promote him up to Captain without higher approval."
"Then let's do it! Eleven consecutive promotions! Straight to Captain! He'll be at the same level as a city military district commander!"
"Agreed! I'll process it right away!"
---
Soon, the Dayan City Military Region received an official promotion order from the provincial military.
---
"Xu Yan, due to his outstanding military contributions during the Baitan City beast tide, is hereby promoted to the rank of Captain!"
"This is an official order!"
---
When the Baitan City Military Region saw the announcement, they erupted into chaos.
---
"WHAT!?"
"Xu Yan got promoted to CAPTAIN!?"
"THAT CAN'T BE RIGHT!"
"Wasn't he just taking part in the recruit assessment!? Shouldn't he be getting promoted to Private!?"
"And wasn't he in danger before!? Now he's getting extraordinary military merit!?"
"Holy crap! District Chief Ding has served for decades and only just became a Captain!"
"Xu Yan's only been in the army for TWO MONTHS and now he's at the SAME RANK!?"
"This is crazy!"
---
Meanwhile, District Chief Ding sat in stunned silence.
---
"I sent him to take the recruit assessment…"
"I didn't expect him to come back as a CAPTAIN!"
"How the hell did he do it!?"
"Now we have TWO Captains in Baitan City… WHO'S THE DISTRICT CHIEF NOW!?"
"WHO GIVES ORDERS TO WHO!?"
"DAMN IT, XU YAN!"
"HOW DID YOU DO THIS!?"
---
Xu Yan… the farmer… had become a legend.
