An Extra’s POV

"Hahahahahaha!!!"

The Dragons all laughed as the City before them was burning up—completely laid to waste.

The corpses of the innocents who attempted to evacuate also littered the ground a good distance from them, from all evacuation points no less.

There were four gates that led outside the Capital, and with two Dragons assigned to two each, the results ended the same for everyone who attempted to flee. They all died, and the exits were sealed so the rest would suffer within the stifling world of the Capital.

No one had any doubt about it—the humans were ruined.

"Thank you for your hard work, comrades!" Kat'erin smiled at the Dragons who stood before her and her comrade.

There were a total of six of them—two contributed from each Lord allied with the White Dragon Lord. They had rendezvoused a little beyond the outskirts of the Capital, though they could see all that went on in the ruined city from where they were.

It was all so fulfilling, and from the looks of all the Dragons involved, it was clear they felt the same thing.

"We do not deserve such high praise, Lady Kat'erin. You and Lady Shai'ya are our seniors." The most mature of the Dragons said with a smile, bowing slightly to her.

Despite them being men, they acted so humbly among two women. This was because, unlike certain societies and cultures that incorporated sexism in their practices, the Dragons did not care for sex or gender differences.

What mattered most was ability and rank.

"We are all Generals here, so there's no need to fuss over seniority." Kat'erin said with a dismissive wave, though she was satisfied to know that the people before her knew how to deliver proper respects.

"Still… you are a part of the 7 Squads. It is my dream to one day join a Squad, so I'll work very hard to prove myself worthy to the Empire."

"Me too!"

"I'll do my best as well!"
