Chapter 188
When I went out on the surface, there were many beastkin wolves gathered around .
Altogether, there must have been one hundred of them .
Goran was talking to them about dealing with the aftermath .
The beastkin wolves had rushed here after wiping out the enemies in the area .
I had destroyed the barrier with Meteor Strike .
And then I had killed all the enemies inside with Eric and the others .
However, as it was an ambush, we had not touched the surrounding area .
Eric said,
“It’s their main base . So there should, of course, be dark ones in the surrounding area . And so I asked them to sweep the area . ”
“How many of them were out there?”
“There were ten evil dragons and two magic machines . There was also a band of about seventy vampires led by a lord . ”
“That’s…quite a lot . ”
The evil dragons were especially dangerous . As were the magic machines .
And seventy vampires could raise hell .
Just then, I saw that Danton Woolcott was rushing towards me .
Danton was Shia and Nia’s father .
“Danton . Are you alright?”
“Aye, I am fine . ”
“He is actually not completely healed . He shouldn’t have been out today…”
“As a father, how could I stay when my daughters were fighting so hard?”
Danton was as stubborn as ever .
I was a little worried .
“Still, you beastfolk wolves sure are strong . ”
“I am happy that you think so… But we were unable to stop the evil dragons from coming here . ”
It had been their role to stop any enemies who would try and return to the base .
“It cannot be helped . The dragons can fly, after all . It is enough that you stopped the machines and vampires . ”
“Yes . It was a great help . ”
“It is the highest honor to hear you say so, Your Majesty . ”
And then Danton turned to Shia .
“I hope you were able to be useful to Mister Locke and the others?”

“That was my intention . ”
“Yes, Shia was a great help . As she always is . ”
“Thank you for saying so, Mister Locke . And…where is Nia?”
“Nia is helping to protect the water dragon princess . ”
“What… Can she handle such an important role?”
“I returned to the settlement once during the fight . She held her own admirably . ”
“What a surprise…”
“Even I hadn’t expected her to…have grown so much . ”
Danton heard this and smiled happily .
As we talked, the oldest of the beastkin chiefs walked up to us .
He bowed to Eric, who stood next to me .
“Your Majesty . To destroy the enemy’s barrier with meteors… I was shaken to my core . ”
“Of course, you were . ”
Eric said a little happily .
“I had assumed that a sorcerer would do something about it . But I imagined it would be to force it open . ”
The old chief looked around him and then stopped at Dorgo .
“Was it you who cast that magic, Your Majesty?”

Dorgo was acquainted with the beastkin tribes .
As they were both in charge of watching the surrounding area, they had probably been introduced .
“It was not me . ”
“I see . I was thinking that such great magic could only be done by a dragon within the royal family…”
“Oh, even for us royal dragons, such magic would be very difficult…”
Dorgo said with a chuckle .
Then the old chief looked at me .
“Could it be you who summoned the meteors?”
As Dorgo had denied it, I was the next likely person .
Aside from the beastkin, the only people here were Eric, Goran, Serulis, and Dorgo .
Well, Grulf was here too, but he didn’t look like he could summon meteors .
And everyone knew that Eric and Goran were not sorcerers .
Serulis had traveled with the beastkin recently and was known to be a warrior .
And so if it wasn’t Dorgo, than it had to be me .
Shia and Danton looked at me worriedly .

They knew that I wanted to keep my identity secret .
“Yes, that’s right . I hope that the shock waves did not cause any trouble for you…”
“Oh, not at all . The summoning of the meteors made our job much easier . It reduced casualties for us . ”
“That’s good to hear…”
“You would have lost your advantage had you taken time to force your way into the barrier . They would have been able to prepare to meet you . ”
As I talked with the old chief, about ten other chiefs gathered around .
And then the old chief bowed once again .
“Thank you . You made good use of the information that we risked our lives to acquire . ”
“Don’t mention it . It was thanks to your bravery that we were able to attack them . ”
Eric said .
“Indeed . Locke’s magic would not have been much use if he didn’t know where to use it . ”
Then one of the younger chiefs spoke up in a hesitant voice .
“Please correct me if I’m wrong, but could you be the Great Philosopher, Our Saviour, Grand High Sorcerer Ruck?”
At this, the rest of the beastkin wolves became excited .
