Ascent of Hero on the Dragon Throne

"Commander in Chief, do you think we should negotiate peace first?" Allen reminded Lance.

"You look quite familiar. Did we meet somewhere before?" Alyssa asked as she suddenly looked at Allen with cold eyes. She recognized Allen as the soldier who lurked at the Timber Deity Empire to carry out a secret mission for the Crimson Dragon Army. She remembered that she let Allen escape before. Woods informed her then that if it were not for Allen, he might have been killed by Rocky when he attacked the Evian City. Alyssa guessed that the reason why Allen let Woods escape was that he wanted to repay her. After all, she let go of him back then. That was why when she saw Allen trying to persuade Lance to start the peace negotiation, she said nothing but reminded him through her cold stare.

When Allen looked at Alyssa, he suddenly knew what she was trying to tell him. He frowned and asked calmly, "Oh really? That's weird since I've never seen you before."

"Well, maybe my memory is wrong. But you do look like a person who was released by me before," Alyssa said as a shrewd look flashed through her eyes.

The look on Allen's face changed suddenly. After hesitating for a moment, he said to Lance, "Commander in Chief, since the Timber Deity Empire wants to compete, let the members of my Elite Regiment compete with their spirit manipulators."

"Okay. We must convince princess Alyssa of our strength!" Lance nodded and looked at Alyssa with a cold smile.

"Three-out-of-five sets. Okay?" Allen asked as he looked at Alyssa.

"That's fine with me. But if you are worried that the Crimson Dragon Army will suffer a crushing defeat, you might want to consider adding a few more rounds," Alyssa provoked him.

The center of the desolate village was cleared up in no time. Alyssa and Lance sat on opposite sides with exactly ten meters away from each other.

The atmosphere was peaceful before, but now it became tense.

"Alyssa, you were too impulsive just now," Woods, who was standing beside Alyssa, whispered.

"The negotiation is just a bait. We just need to buy more time,"

his hands and asked, "Who is willing to fight against me?"

The thought of Allen, a warrior at the Supernal Stage, fighting in this small competition absolutely frightened everyone. Allen was the strongest at the site except for Alyssa and Lance. Therefore, his spirit-manipulated beast must have reached the fourth grade of the four-star level or even the five-star level. However, there was no one else who had a spirit-manipulated beast that would be a match for Allen's spirit-manipulated beast in the Timber Deity Empire's side, except for Alyssa.

Seeing that Allen was about to fight, Alyssa remained calm and smiled. She then shouted, "It's your time to show up!" Her feminine voice was like the sound of a great bell that was heard from far away even beyond the desolate village.

After a while, two men appeared at the entrance of the desolate village. Then all of a sudden, they appeared in the middle of the site. One was tall and thin with a long beard. He was about 40 years old and his eyes seemed so joyful and happy. He was holding a fan and looked plain, but the aura of the Supernal Stage he released was very strong.

The other man was about 50 years old. He had grey hair, a radiant face, and two sharp insidious eyes. He was also at the Supernal Stage. His power seemed to be at par with Allen's.

The presence of two masters of the Supernal Stage shocked the audience.
