I became a dragon in hell.

The White Bone Emperor's words were really hurtful.

Out of favor, exiled...

Couldn't you have said it more subtly and tactfully...?

"Hehe, it's not exile." Sophia forced a smile. "It's a fiefdom. The North is my fiefdom, and my father loves me very much."

"Really? How many troops did your father give you when you came to the North?"

Sofia made an eight with her hand.

"Eighty thousand?"

If there were 80,000 soldiers, then the white-haired princess's father must have truly doted on her.

He can transform 80,000 soldiers who die on missions into ghost soldiers, sending them to hell to serve him.

Sofia's eyes widened. Eight...eight thousand?

As expected of the White Bone Emperor who commands 100,000 Yin soldiers and generals, he casually mentioned 80,000 troops.

If she had 80,000 troops, she would have already taken down all the local ruffians and scoundrels in Twin Moon City, as well as those nobles who harbored malicious intentions and held power by their own armies.

"No... there isn't 80,000."

Sofia gave an awkward laugh.

"Eight thousand?"

Eight thousand elite soldiers would be barely acceptable.

"Eight...eight hundred."

After saying this, Sophia lowered her head, not daring to look at the soul fire flickering in Diding's eyes. This small force was truly insignificant in front of the White Bone Emperor who commanded 100,000 Yin soldiers and generals.

?

Eight hundred?

With such a small force, how dare they say they weren't exiled?

If the king of this kingdom truly loved this white-haired princess, he certainly wouldn't have only allowed her to bring eight hundred soldiers to the border.

An unfavored princess, a princess who has not yet established herself in her fiefdom, a princess with only eight hundred soldiers...

Diding narrowed his eyes and looked at Sophia, saying, "Princess, lift your head."

Sofia looked up, somewhat nervously, fidgeting with her dress with both hands.

"Because of your honesty, you have the opportunity to cooperate with me." Destin looked into Sophia's red eyes and continued, "Eight hundred people have their own ways of playing. As long as the reward you offer can tempt me, I will definitely help you return to the capital and become the queen of this kingdom."

"Huh? Fight...fight back to the capital? Become the kingdom's...queen?!"

Sophia was shocked and her face showed fear. She had no such intention. She only wanted to control the North and ensure that those who followed her to the North could live to old age.

She never even considered returning to the capital or becoming queen.

Eight hundred soldiers—less than the garrison of a single city—were likely to be crushed in the north as soon as they raised their army...

Anna, who was standing at the restaurant entrance wearing silver-white armor, twitched her eyelids when she heard Distin's words. This White Bone Emperor really dared to say anything.

Eight hundred men marched back to the capital and made Her Highness Queen...

Based solely on Princess Sophia's identity as a necromancer, she was destined to have no such opportunity.

To take a recent example, before Princess Sophia arrived, the lord of Twin Moon City was the lord with the strongest military force in the Northern Territory.

After Princess Sophia arrived, the city lord showed no intention of relinquishing military power; his desire to maintain his own military strength was all too obvious.

Don't fight your way back to the capital to become queen. It would be good if the White Bone Emperor could help Your Highness control the Northern Territory.

"Your Majesty, it's nighttime now. Please don't tell me scary stories. I have no such ambition."

Diding looked directly into Sophia's red eyes. The eyes are the windows to the soul, and the white-haired princess's red eyes were clear and bright, with timidity and shyness in them, but no ambition.

It's okay, ambition is sometimes forced out by circumstances.

For example, if he weren't trying to survive in hell, he wouldn't have recruited skeleton soldiers or seized territory that was advantageous to him.

In order to survive, he had to develop his own power and train skeleton soldiers loyal to him.

The White-Haired Princess's current situation doesn't seem to be very good either.

He was out of favor and exiled to the North with only eight hundred soldiers, and had not yet fully taken control of the North.

Adding to that her identity as a necromancer...

Dying in the North probably wouldn't cause much of a stir.

Once the white-haired princess realizes her situation, she will develop some ambition.

"If you have no ambition, then what is the purpose of summoning me?"

"Keep watch, ah no... Your Majesty, please don't misunderstand me. I originally wanted to see if I could summon a few bronze skeleton soldiers to keep watch for me, and then lead them out of the city tomorrow to hunt down the goblin tribe on the mountain."

I never expected that Your Majesty would answer my call. I certainly wouldn't dare to ask you to keep watch for me, much less command you to goblin hunt.

That's why I wanted to cooperate with the Emperor. With 100,000 Yin soldiers and generals under his command, he certainly doesn't lack skeleton soldiers. You see... tomorrow, when I lead my troops out of the city to suppress the goblins, could the Emperor perhaps have some of his skeleton soldiers answer my call and assist my soldiers in suppressing the goblins?"

After carefully stating her request, Sophia clasped her hands together, her red eyes filled with anticipation.

She dared not summon the skeleton soldiers of the "Young Dragon Destin," whose situation was far more difficult than her own.

Having been targeted by the Lich Lord, he dug tunnels in Hell to survive, managing to recruit some skeleton soldiers, only to have them all summoned to the human world.

She couldn't bring trouble to this poor, weak, and slightly evil dragon. Of course, the main reason was that she was afraid the 'baby dragon Diding' would grow up and come to the human world to settle scores with her.

Once a dragon reaches adulthood, its strength becomes terrifying.

There was one thing she felt was very wronged about: the necromancer's summoning of skeletons was supposed to be random, and she didn't understand why she was able to keep summoning the skeletons of "Young Dragon Didin".

Now that's good, if the "White Bone Emperor" agrees to let her summon his skeleton soldiers, she will no longer have to worry about being beaten by the "Young Dragon Destin".

"Summon...my skeleton soldiers?"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Sofia nodded repeatedly, like a chick pecking at rice.

Diding narrowed his eyes. "Alright, now try summoning some undead creatures. Let me see if you can summon a bronze skeleton soldier."

"OK."

Without hesitation, Sophia took out her staff from her spatial ring, raised it above her head, and chanted a spell. As a bluish-gray mist emerged, a dark green magic circle about three meters in diameter appeared on the ground.

Two skeleton soldiers, their bodies wreathed in black necromantic energy, appeared on the eerie green magic circle.

The magic circle disappeared, and two pitch-black skeleton soldiers appeared in the restaurant.

Sophia saw the skeleton soldier whose entire skeleton gleamed with a dark light, put down her staff, rubbed her eyes, and said, "Anna...Anna, please help me check, did I summon two black iron skeleton soldiers this time?"

Anna, who teleported to Sophia's side, glanced at the skeleton soldiers Sophia had summoned and nodded with a smile: "Your Highness is not mistaken, you did indeed summon two Black Iron Skeletons this time!"

"I knew I couldn't keep summoning skeleton soldiers forever!"

Sofia jumped up and down excitedly.

Diding glanced at Sophia expressionlessly.

It's confirmed, the one who summoned his skeleton soldiers was indeed the white-haired princess in front of us!

The two black iron skeleton soldiers that the white-haired princess summoned this time were still his skeleton soldiers.

How was he able to recognize his own skeleton soldier?

Because he used his soul power to brand numbers onto the skulls of each of his skeleton soldiers.

The skulls of these two black iron skeleton soldiers are inscribed with [49] and [50] respectively.

Should we fight?
