I became a dragon in hell.

The three hundred elite soldiers, clad in full armor, were in turmoil. Lord Charman was dead, as were Lords Sinclair, Carlson, Stanton, and Coleman.

The 120 wolf riders were all transformed into ghost soldiers in just over ten minutes. Was there any point in them continuing to fight?

Continuing the fight, they faced an attack by 120 wolf riders.

They might even have to fight and kill themselves, and after they die, they will surely be transformed into ghost soldiers by that evil and powerful spirit.

Dying by the sword of a skeleton soldier is not terrible; what is terrible is becoming a ghost soldier after death and killing your comrades.

They are not afraid of death, but they cannot accept dying by the sword of their own people.

"I...I swear allegiance to Princess Sofia! I will never betray her!"

"Irving! You...."

"Fox, I don't want to be transformed into a ghost soldier after I die, and then kill you, nor do I want to see you become a ghost soldier and fight me!"

Lord Charman is dead, and so are Lords Sinclair, Carlson, Stanton, and Coleman. Do we still have a reason to fight?

Swearing allegiance to Princess Sofia is not considered betrayal!

"I...I also swear allegiance to Princess Sofia!"

"I'd like to too!"

The conversation between Irving and Fox triggered a chain reaction, with more and more elite soldiers willing to swear allegiance to Princess Sofia.

Princess Sophia even knelt on one knee and begged the evil skeleton monster to let them live.

What are they still insisting on?

Princess Sophia is the princess of the Kingdom of Roland!

If a princess is willing to kneel down so that they can live, then who is worthy of their loyalty?

The cacophony quickly dissipated into a unified voice, and finally, all three hundred men placed their right hands on their chests, swearing allegiance and following Sofia.

With a wave of his left hand, the floating Destin ignited a purplish-blue flame on the street.

Caroline, Drake, Thorne, and the other skeletons bowed to Distin and returned to Hell through the bluish-purple flames.

The 120 wolf riders, transformed into ghost soldiers, also entered hell through bluish-purple flames.

Including Charman.

After all the skeletons and wolf riders had entered Hell, Diding landed in front of Sophia, helped her up, and said, "Send me back to Hell. As for the reward... I'll tell you next time you summon me."

"Your Majesty...are you alright? Why does it seem like your soul fire isn't as bright as before?"

Diding glanced at Sophia.

Sophia dared not waste any more words. She mobilized the last bit of magic power in her body and sent the skeleton emperor in front of her back to hell.

Before Diding disappeared from Sophia's sight, he breathed a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of the sunlight, but the skeletons he summoned from hell could not move in the sunlight.

In order to enable them to move on the sun, he enveloped them with his own soul light.

In this way, the separated wisp of dragon soul could not last long at all.

If his original body were here, the situation would be different from what it is now.

Sophia watched Distin disappear from her sight and said "thank you" to him.

Without this White Bone Emperor, her fate... would probably have been to die in the City Lord's Mansion.

Sophia turned around, forcing herself to walk past Anna, and stood in front of the three hundred elite soldiers in full armor. She said in a deep voice, "Don't think that the White Bone Emperor is cruel. Before, in the council hall, the White Bone Emperor gave Charman, Sinclair, Carlson, Stanton, and Coleman the opportunity to choose."

They were given a chance to live, but they chose to ignore it. Just now, for example, the Emperor also gave you a chance to live.

Of course, your survival is partly due to my pleading on your behalf. But if the Emperor insists on killing you, there's nothing I can do about it.

So... be grateful. Be grateful to the Emperor, for he gave you a chance to live.

From this day forward, you are the Black Armor Army, the Black Armor Army loyal to me, Sophia, and your new commander is General Douglas.

A middle-aged man with brown hair, dressed in silver armor, walked up to Sophia, bowed to her, and stood behind her.

Douglas's eyes lit up as he looked at the Black Armor Army ahead. This Black Armor Army would be considered a formidable force even in the capital.

It's a pity about those hundred-plus wolf riders. The wolf riders who were transformed into ghost soldiers are even stronger. If those wolf riders could also follow His Highness, he is confident that he could wipe out all threats inside and outside Twin Moon City in a very short time.

However, that Bone Emperor was even more terrifying, as he was immune to sunlight and could summon skeleton soldiers from hell while sitting in broad daylight.

Outrageous!

"General Douglas, lead the Black Armor Army to seize the assets of the Charman family, as well as the Sinclair, Carlson, Stanton, and Coleman families."

"Yes, sir!"

Douglas walked past Sophia and stood in front of the Black Armor Army. "Don't worry, as long as you are truly loyal to His Highness, he will not mistreat you. You will be treated the same way you were before."

Once His Highness has taken control of the entire North, your treatment will likely be even better. Now, come with me to seize the assets of the Charman, Sinclair, Carlson, Stanton, and Coleman families.

Don't worry, I won't let you kill anyone, I'll only let you control them.

"Yes, sir!"

Douglas left with three hundred black-armored soldiers.

Seeing Douglas lead the Black Armor Army away, Sophia, whose magic was depleted, could no longer hold on and swayed precariously. Anna quickly dismounted and helped Sophia up, "Your Highness, what's wrong?"

"My magic is depleted. I suspect the Emperor... stole my magic, but I have no proof..."

Anna breathed a sigh of relief; it was just a depletion of magic power, nothing serious.

"Your Highness, let me help you to rest."

"Um."

Anna helped Sophia to the bedroom, and then left the head maid Emily in the bedroom to take care of Sophia while she went to lead people to clean the streets.

Sophia lay down on the bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep. Not only was her magic depleted, but her mental energy was also experiencing some problems.

Head maid Emily sat on the edge of the bed as the wind blew the curtains in the window after dark.

Emily got up and went to the window. Suddenly she felt a chill, but she didn't think much of it, assuming it was just the cool breeze tonight.

She closed the window, returned to her previous seat, glanced at Sofia who was still asleep, and picked up a book to read.

Unbeknownst to Emily, the moment she got up to close the window, a humanoid creature wielding a black and red scythe and shrouded in a black robe silently appeared at Sophia's bedside.

He looked at the sleeping Sophia and muttered to himself, "Those who should have died are alive, and those who should have lived are dead, and even their souls have gone nowhere."

How am I, the Grim Reaper, supposed to explain this when I go back?
