"Didn't you just tell me not to attack Black Stone City to avoid falling into the trap of the Double Rest Sect?" Lannita frowned.

"Yes, I still don't recommend you to do so. The Double Rest Sect has only one Dragon Slayer Holy Artifact. Although Angela is also a follower of Saturday, Merlin clearly cares more about Ireya and her Green Field."

"So if their plan against you and the White Queen fails, they will definitely return the Holy Artifact to Green Field, and then we can launch an attack."

"Won't Merlin return to Green Field with the Holy Artifact?" Lannita asked.

Yaxu shook his head, "No, Merlin will not stay in Bratis permanently. He leaves periodically for the Divine Country."

"Have you gone mad? What do you mean 'returns to the Divine Country'?"

"It means he will suddenly disappear and then reappear after some time. It's not a secret anymore; many in Green Field know this," Yaxu said. "I have witnessed his disappearance myself."

"He usually stays on the Bratis Continent for just one day and then disappears for two days, so he should be gone for the next two days."

"You mean I should wait here for two days?"

"Not necessarily that long," Yaxu said. "Since you and the White Queen just appeared in the skies above Black Stone City, and I have also escaped, this means that you know Green Field is currently in a vulnerable state. The Double Rest Sect will definitely rush to bring back the Dragon Slayer Holy Artifact."

"Then why shouldn't I take this opportunity to attack Green Field?" Lannita countered.

Yaxu was momentarily stunned, "Well... that's possible too, but then we won't be able to destroy the Dragon Slayer Holy Artifact."

"No matter, we can first attack Green Field. Surely the Double Rest Sect will immediately bring the Dragon Slayer Holy Artifact back, and then we can turn around and destroy it."

Lannita had been observing Yaxu for a long time and had not seen any flaws.

Nevertheless, individuals like Yaxu, who arrive early to infiltrate the Bratis Continent, are naturally skilled at camouflage, so Lannita remained cautious around him.

The timing of his appearance was a bit too coincidental, although he had plenty of reasons, Lannita still couldn't fully trust him.

Especially since he was the only one from Shajia who was still alive, which was very suspicious.

Thus, even though Lannita heeded his advice and gave up on attacking Black Stone City, she did not plan to follow his lead completely.

Afterward, she and Yaxu mounted the White Queen and turned to fly towards Green Field.

On the way, Lannita asked Yaxu some questions, including how he managed to escape and why they killed Hirodod.

Yaxu answered everything fluently, and no faults could be found, except when the questions related to the Blood Moon Association came up, Yaxu looked utterly bewildered, indicating he didn't know how Hirodod had died.

However, he assured Lannita that Shajia's people had not harmed Hirodod; by that time, they were either dead or captured, with none left operating outside.

Lannita then asked Yaxu what he planned to do next, whether he would go with her back to Lion Heart Castle to meet Solomon. Yaxu seemed hesitant.

Lannita knew Yaxu was worried that Solomon would blame him for Shajia's death, so she comforted him.

"Don't be afraid, just go back and explain the situation clearly. I can persuade Solomon not to kill you."

Yaxu was still hesitant.

Lannita didn't mind; whether Yaxu agreed or not, she would still take him back to Lion Heart Castle in the end.

This way, once the Arias family and the Double Rest Sect were dealt with, her father could no longer cause trouble for Solomon.

As for whether Yaxu would survive, Lannita had only said Solomon wouldn't kill him. Whether Sibulun would let him go was not Lannita's concern.

Even though Yaxu might have just saved her life, for someone like Lannita, gratitude meant very little. Lannita only cared about a person's worth, and minor characters like Yaxu weren't worth the investment from her or the Wizard Association behind her.

Lannita soon arrived at Green Field, and by that time, it had completely darkened.

The girl did not contact Harvin, the Commander of the Alliance Army, as an attack like this didn't require military assistance anyway.

Lannita firmly believed that the white dragon beneath her was stronger than an entire army.

She directly ordered the white dragon to launch an attack on the town below, first arriving above Teacup Castle and unleashing the Dragon Flame for nearly half a minute.

The horrifying high temperature surged through the narrow windows into the castle, sweeping through everything in its path.

Tables, chairs, carpets, portraits, decorations, and even metallic armor all melted in the terrifying heat.

If Ireya had still been inside then, she would likely have been burned to ash.

However, Lannita had no time to check her results, as the nearby garrison reacted quickly. The next moment, a giant crossbow arrow as thick as an arm brushed past the body of the white dragon and pinned itself on the burning castle.

—Sea King Spear.

Lannita had seen such giant crossbows at Crab's Corner, although most of them were destroyed by the Wing Tribe, but they had kept one for study.

The lethality of this device was considerable; if it got close enough, even a giant dragon could be injured.

Therefore, Lannita decisively had the giant dragon fly away from the castle in front and plunged back into the town, starting fires everywhere.

However, since it was nighttime, Lannita could not see the situation below very clearly and couldn't choose specific targets, thus she let the giant dragon attack on its own.

She quickly noticed that the white dragon was getting closer to the ground and, at the same time, she smelled a tempting aroma.

It was the scent of roasted meat, or more precisely, roasted lamb.

Lannita dimly saw what seemed to be several roasted lambs not far below, and it was this fragrance that had lured the white dragon over.

Lannita didn't mind feeding her mount while conducting a raid, as it wasn't the first time she had done so.

But this time, a hint of caution arose in Lannita's heart.

The roasted lamb seemed oddly out of place; logically, no one should be eating at this hour.

Thus, Lannita acted quickly to stop the white dragon from swallowing the roasted lambs, issuing three commands for it to leave immediately.

The white dragon seemed reluctant in the face of the delicious food and even threw a tantrum like a child.

However, under Lannita's urging, it reluctantly lifted its head again, flapped its wings, and flew past the tempting roasted lambs.

Lannita breathed a sigh of relief. Her vigilance had just relaxed due to the low visibility at night, and she had not noticed that shortly after she left, a Black Panther immediately approached one of the roasted lambs, split its belly open, and then picked up the rice ball inside.

It then transformed into a peregrine falcon, spreading its wings and flying towards her.

The white dragon quickly noticed the peregrine falcon nearby. It was the first time it had seen a bird that wasn't afraid of it.

And since the peregrine carried a scent it liked, the dragon decided to teach the bird a lesson.

Suddenly turning its head to bite the falcon, but the cautious bird turned as well, immediately dodged to the other side,

Given that peregrines are among the fastest flying birds, it miraculously dodged the giant gaping maw of the white dragon.

However, the white dragon still managed to swallow something, but that thing was too small and slid straight down its throat. The white dragon didn't even taste what it was, and the unknown small item had already slid down into its stomach.
