Search and Rescue

After leaving Goodpes's residence, Glaide glanced back resentfully at the place that had embarrassed him.

"Goodpes, you just wait. One day, I will make you kneel at my feet and repay you a thousandfold for the pain you inflicted on me!"

After making a solemn vow in his heart, Glaide flew straight towards Koreita, after all, he still had a mission to investigate the situation of Ishgar within five days. Of course, if possible, he wouldn't mind getting rid of that useless, good-for-nothing Selisliu while he was at it.

After four or five days of travel, Sordil and his men finally arrived at the crime scene. Looking at the numerous craters and dilapidated ruins on the ground, and smelling the lingering stench of charred flesh in the air, King of Babaronza's stomach churned violently, nearly surging upwards.

"Vomit!"

Although Igneel and the others didn't vomit uncontrollably like King of Babaronza, the horrific scene filled them with an inexplicable rage, giving them a murderous impulse. After a long while, Igneel roared, "We must not let these inhuman beasts get away with this!"

"Igneel is right, we must wipe out these despicable bastards and avenge these innocent victims!"

"That's right, we absolutely cannot let them get away!"

Just as the crowd was filled with righteous indignation and determined to kill the invading enemy, Sordil spoke up and stopped them.

"I understand how you guys feel, but our top priority is to thoroughly search the town and see if there are any survivors!"

No sooner had Sordil finished speaking than his wife, Grandil, immediately Grandiere, "Sordil is right. We should search the area carefully now to see if there are any survivors. This way, we can both help those in need and get information about those bastards from the survivors."

Hearing their words, King of Babaronza, whose stomach was empty, agreed, saying, "Prince Sordil and the Sky Dragon King are right. This is what we should do most right now, and it is also the best course of action!"

After the team's intellectual leader made the judgment, Igneel and the other strength-based members began to act according to the plan.

After slaughtering everyone in the town, Selisliu's rage, though not completely vented, brought him back to the brink of sanity. Only then did he remember the true purpose of his arrival in Ishgar, and he immediately led his men to scout the coastal area.

"Chief, this is a topographical map of the northwest direction!"

Selisliu took the drawings handed to him by his subordinate, examined them carefully, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"With these topographical maps, under Lord Goodpes's leadership, we can precisely eliminate all humans on Ishgar and turn the entire Asland into an ideal land for our dragon race."

"At that time, Chief, you can use these topographical maps to regain Lord Goodpes's trust and then completely defeat that Glaide!"

Upon hearing the name Glaide, the raging fire within Selisliu reignited. He clenched his right fist tightly and slammed it heavily into the ground. Seeing Selisliu's reaction, the dragon who had just spoken retreated in terror, not daring to utter a sound.

"Notify everyone to intensify the gathering of intelligence on Ishgar!"

"Yes!"

While searching for survivors, Yelibell suddenly heard a faint sound. Following the sound, she arrived near a pit about a hundred meters in diameter. Looking at the barren ground around her and then at the bottomless pit, Yelibell murmured, "Could there be survivors in this pit? No, I have to tell my brother Sordil right away."

Yelibell, who had already spread her wings and was ready to take off at any moment, suddenly stopped.

"But if there are no survivors down there, wouldn't I be giving a false report?"

For the sake of her reputation, and also for the impression she made on Sordil, Yelibell decided to go down and investigate. Yelibell first flew above the pit, then slowly descended. As she got closer to the bottom of the pit, the sounds she heard became clearer and clearer.

"General, run... Danger... Danger..."

"General... General... hurry... hurry and go..."

Yelibell followed the direction of the sound and bumped into the wall of the deep pit with a thud, but she didn't see the person who spoke.

"Damn it! Where is that guy?"

Undeterred Yelibell reached forward again, but the outcome was the same as before. Unwilling to give up, Yelibell made six more attempts in the next fifteen minutes, but aside from a few more bumps on her head, she gained nothing. Having exhausted all other options, Yelibell had no choice but to report the situation to Sordil, hoping he could find the mysterious survivor.

"Call out"

Yelibell rushed out of the pit at top speed and flew towards Sordil's location. Three minutes later, Yelibell successfully met up with Sordil on the sea.

"Brother Sordil, come with me quickly, I've found a survivor!"

"Alright! Then I'll trouble Sister Yelibell to lead the way!"

Led by Yelibell, the two returned to the deep pit. Looking at the completely dark pit, Sordil asked curiously, "Sister Yelibell, it's pitch black in here, how did you find the survivors?"

Seeing Sordil's bewildered look, Yelibell said smugly, "I didn't find it with my eyes, I found it with my ears!"

After Yelibell's explanation, Sordil suddenly realized that the Poison Dragon's terrifying hearing was precisely the best weapon to find survivors under these circumstances. Thinking this, Sordil intensely despised his earlier behavior of guarding a treasure trove without using it. After contemptuously dismissing himself, Sordil rushed over and gave Yelibell a dragon hug, thanking her for helping him develop a new use for the Poison Dragon Mode.

Caught off guard by the sudden 'attack,' Yelibell was momentarily stunned. It wasn't until Sordil released her grip that she blushed and recalled what had just happened.

After subconsciously teasing Yelibell, Sordil began preparing to descend into the pit to search for survivors. First, he cast Quality Magic on himself and Yelibell, adjusting their size to five meters. Next, he used the light-based skill "Radiance" as illumination for exploring the pit. Having made thorough preparations, Sordil, leading the dazed Yelibell, headed towards the pit.

"Sister Yelibell, do you remember the location of the survivors?"

Receiving no answer, Sordil curiously turned to check on Yelibell, only to find her lost in a daydream. Frustrated, he gently nudged Yelibell, hoping to pull her out of her reverie, but to no avail. Seeing this, Sordil sighed inwardly.

"Sigh! Sister Yelibell is so unreliable, whoever marries her will be in big trouble!"

Yelibell, who had already been given up on, instantly snapped out of her wedding night reverie upon hearing Sordil's words. She shouted at the empty space in front of her, "Who's talking bad about me?"

"Sister Ye... Yelibell, you... you're awake?"

Hearing Sordil's exclamation, Yelibell, who had completely broken free from the dream, realized her surroundings and cried out in surprise, "Ah?"
