When Glaide and his men returned to the Western Continent, Sordil and Igneel also returned to the Prisoner of War Camp in the port town. Seeing that only the two of them had returned, Kaldiz and the others immediately surrounded them, asking about the results of their pursuit.

"You brats, why are only the two of you back? Where's the Black Great Dragon that escaped?"

Under the curious, nervous, expectant, and worried gazes of the crowd, Sordil retrieved the miniature Selisliu from his storage space and placed it on the ground, restoring it to its original form. Looking at the 'spoils of war' on the ground, and then at Sordil's extremely pale face, Kaldiz pressed for an answer:

"Hey kid, didn't you guys take care of this guy? Why do you still look so grim?"

Upon hearing Kaldiz's question, all the Women's Army stared intently at Sordil, hoping he could clear up their doubts.

"Uncle Kaldiz, this guy wasn't killed by the two of us, but by another force sent from the Western Continent."

Upon hearing this explosive news, Kaldiz and the others were all somewhat stunned. Before they could ask any questions, Sordil recounted the entire process of his and his companion's pursuit of Selisliu. After listening, everyone's faces darkened.

"I never expected things to turn out this way, Sordil. I think we need to hurry back and discuss a solution with Irene and the others!"

Sordil nodded to Kaldiz and said, "Yes! Brother Igneel advised me the same thing, so I've decided to return to Dragunov immediately."

As soon as Sordil finished speaking, all four Grandiere turned around, staring incredulously at Igneel, who was stuffing himself with food. After a long while, Grandiere, who was the first to recover, stammered, "So... Sordil, are you... are you sure... this idea came from that Igneel?"

Sordil nodded matter-of-factly, indicating that he hadn't made a mistake. At this moment, Metalicana said, "Sordil, it's wrong to lie to your wife. You'd better tell the truth!"

Upon hearing Metalicana's words, Sordil glared at him in shock and anger, but before he could reprimand this troublemaker, the focus of everyone's discussion exploded!

"Metalicana, what are you trying to do? Brother Sordil has already admitted that it was my idea, why are you still asking me questions? And, it's one thing for you to insult my intelligence, but you're even trying to sow discord between Brother Sordil and his wife. What exactly are you trying to do?"

Under the strange gazes of the crowd, and seeing Grandiere, Metalicana was momentarily speechless. He stammered, "I... I..."

"What? Say it!"

"You... you..."

Faced with Igneel's incredible comeback, Metalicana was rendered speechless. Just as his honest persona was about to crumble, Yelibell stepped forward to clear his name.

"Since Brother Metalicana can't say it, then I'll say it for him! Brother Metalicana does indeed still love Grandiere, but he has no improper thoughts about Grandiere, much less any intention to ruin their marriage. The reason he said that just now was simply to use Grandiere's position in Sordil's heart to verify whether what Sordil said was true or false!"

Metalicana looked excitedly at Ye Qingtian, who had cleared his name, then he knelt down with a thud and threw himself at Yelibell's leg, tears streaming down his face. Seeing the unknown creature rushing towards her, Yelibell quickly dodged to the side. Thanks to Ye Qingtian's precise dodge, Metalicana missed his target. Just as he was about to try again to grab her leg, Ye Qingtian stopped him in time.

"Brother Metalicana, you can keep your gratitude to yourself, there's no need for all this!"

"Yelibell, I'm not saying anything more. From now on, your business is my business!"

The controversy surrounding his intelligence came and went in a spectacular fashion. Once the storm had passed, the conversation returned to the matter of returning to Dragunov.

"Uncle Kaldiz, bring all the prisoners here. We'll return to the Kingdom of Donagunov now!"

"Good!"

The Royal Palace Courtyard of the Kingdom of Donagunov

"Buzz"

A silvery-white light suddenly flashed across the ground of the palace courtyard. Immediately afterward, Magic Array connected to form a Magic Array Magic Array, and as it formed, the surrounding space began to tremble. Belserion and his companion, who were playing chess in the palace, turned their heads towards the courtyard upon feeling the vibrations.

"Alright! That brat's back, so we can't play this game of chess!"

"Alright, now that we know they're back, let's hurry up and pick them up, otherwise Irene will say we're being inconsiderate again!"

After finishing their conversation, Belserion and his companion put away the chessboard and headed towards the palace courtyard.

As a devoted wife and mother, Irene knew the moment she sensed the fluctuations in magical elements within the palace that Sordil had returned. She immediately dropped everything and rushed to the palace courtyard as fast as she could. So when Sordil and his party arrived at the palace courtyard via the Teleportation Array, a large welcoming party was already waiting for them.

Since he had left King of Babaronza in the Principality of Babaronza before returning, Sordil threw himself into Irene's arms without any hesitation (he had switched to human form, so it wasn't some kind of funny or cringe-worthy scene).

"You rascal, why are you so late? I missed you so much!"

"We need to hurry to get to the Principality of Babaronza, so it takes a bit longer."

Just as the two were whispering sweet nothings to each other, a large group of onlookers, who were also being fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), and another wife strongly interfered with their relationship in protest.

"Cough cough!"

"Cough cough!"

"Cough cough!"

"You bastards, everyone's protesting our behavior!"

"Shh! At this moment, you are my whole world, and any sound other than yours is irrelevant to me!"

So, under everyone's gaze, the two of them shamelessly embraced each other tightly. After a while, Kaldiz, unable to bear it any longer, kindly reminded them, "You brat, have you forgotten why we came back this time?"

Under the harsh blow of reality, Sordil had to break free from Irene's warm embrace and then tell Irene, Belserion, and the others what had happened in the past few days.

After learning in detail about Sordil and the others' experiences, Acnologia remarked with a sigh, "Judging from this, the situation is very unfavorable for us!"

"It's more than just a disadvantage. If the map Sordil mentioned is detailed enough, the enemy could conquer the entire western region overnight. At that point, we will lose the ability to fight them!"

After hearing Her Majesty the Queen's speech, who was an expert in state affairs, everyone present truly realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Aunt Irene, according to your logic, haven't we already been defeated without a fight?"

After Anna finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to Irene, hoping she could give a not-too-bad answer, but the reality disappointed everyone.

"You can understand it that way too!"

Before Irene spoke, everyone still had a glimmer of hope; after she gave her answer, they were utterly despondent. Just as everyone was preparing to go home and find their own mothers, Sordil stopped them and gave them a much-needed boost of confidence.

"Actually, there's no need for everyone to be so pessimistic; we still have hope of winning!"

Seeing everyone staring at him, Sordil continued, "Before we returned, I had already set up many Teleportation Array in that area, so many that we could reach every corner through Teleportation Array. So as long as you learn how to operate the Teleportation Array, we can support the troops stationed there at any time, causing the dragons of the Western Continent to return empty-handed."
