The group was not far from the Imperial City of the Dragon River Kingdom.
In just half an hour, they arrived.
Once there, they discovered that the rest of the Dragon River Kingdom was a scene of devastation, shattered by attacks from demons and monsters.
Yet the Imperial City was remarkably peaceful. Even its walls did not bear a single crack.
"Where do we go first? Straight to Yan He?"
Shi Fei asked.
"No. First, we go to the Dragon River Guard's headquarters. I want to see why they didn't send anyone to kill the Demon-Blood Lion Demon! They let all the commoners in an entire city get slaughtered by demons!"
Fang Xin said angrily.
"Alright, let's go!"
Shi Fei nodded.
The group immediately headed for the Dragon River Guard headquarters.
Before long, they arrived.
The headquarters was built extravagantly. The gates alone stood ten meters tall, magnificent and resplendent.
"Move!"
Fang Xin stepped inside, and the others immediately followed.
The moment they entered, a heavy scent of wine swept toward them from ahead, accompanied by bursts of laughter and banter—
"Come on, drink! Hahaha!"
"Finish this cup! If you don't finish it today, none of you are leaving! Don't blame me for getting rough—drink!!"
"I can't drink anymore, Commander, I really can't! How could any of us match your capacity?"
"Not drinking? Then you're refusing to give your commander face!"
Before they had even entered the main hall, Fang Xin and Shi Fei's faces were already filled with fury.
When Jiang Bei entered the hall, his pupils contracted as well.
What should have been a sacred place for judging criminals and issuing missions was now covered in wine tables. The Dragon River Guard soldiers had cast aside their helmets and armor, drinking heavily until their faces were flushed red.
