The County Magistrate was stunned.
No one had expected such a powerful summoned creature to exist on this mountain.
A dragon? "Was that a true dragon?"
"No, it had to be an illusion!"
Even so, after witnessing this scene, the militia men brought from the county completely lost their morale.
The moment some of them caught their first distant glimpse of that long dragon dozens of meters long, they had already wanted to run.
And now the dragon exhaled again, turning its breath into a hurricane.
How could they possibly withstand that?

Otherwise, a few people might have been scared to death.
After all the turmoil, no one actually died in battle.
Yet more than a dozen people died simply while fleeing, falling from the mountain paths or stumbling to death in their panic.
Not a single person truly died in combat.
In the end, finding it too embarrassing, the County Magistrate reported that two of the people who had fallen to their deaths had died in battle because they had connections.

More than one-third in total.
Some people had become terrified and did not dare return home, instead fleeing directly into the mountains to hide.

He even sent them by one-hundred-li express delivery.
