The Almighty Dragon General

About tens of thousands of cultivators were gathered inside Mount Taerl’s main hall.
In the highest seat of the hall was a man with slightly curly hair who donned a red robe. He had a domineering aura, but his face
was pale as a sheet.
The man solemnly said, “These monsters will not be easy to deal with. We only just repelled them, but they’ve already launched
another attack. Moreover, they’ve come with a greater number this time. What’s even worse is they’re stronger than before. We’ll
have to prepare for a long fight.”
“Sir, we should call for support. With our city’s current strength, it’s simply impossible to resist them.”
“Call for support? Who can we call?”
“Countless cities within our universe have been destroyed. Meanwhile, the other powerful cities nearby have already been
surrounded by monsters. They can barely protect themselves, so how will they support us?”
Many in the hall expressed their opinions with solemn expressions.
James overheard their discussion when he arrived outside the hall.
He learned that the city had been attacked by these
monsters quite frequently. Moreover, Taerl City was not the only one targeted by these monsters. In fact, all other cities in the
universe were under attack. It was possible other universes were also being attacked.
James frowned upon learning the details.
He firmly believed he was not just within a made-up illusion and suspected these events had happened in a specific period of the
past. These monsters must have destroyed Taerl City. However, its condition before destruction was recorded and projected into
the trial.
At that moment, James walked into the hall. He immediately became the focus of attention as he walked in.
“Leave them to me,” James spoke while walking.
His words stunned everyone in the hall.

The man in the highest seat stood up, looked at him, and asked, “Who are you?”
James replied casually, “That’s not important.”
He firmly believed he was in a projection of a past event. Thus, the living beings would not remember him, and his actions would
not change the actual outcome of the city.
James boldly walked to the highest seat and sat down under everyone’s aghast expressions.
“Presumptuous!!!”
A loud shout resounded in the hall.
“The highest seat belongs to the city lord! How dare you sit down?”
A wrinkled old man holding a cane reprimanded his action. He raised his cane, and a powerful aura erupted from his body,
seemingly about to attack James.
“Stop.” The man in the red robe stopped him.
“Sir...” The old man wanted to speak.
However, the man in the red robe interrupted his words. He looked at the powerhouses in the hall. His face was pale as he said,
“I was wounded in the previous battle and haven’t recovered. I’m no longer capable of fighting these monsters, let alone repelling
them this time. I’m no longer qualified to be Taerl City’s Lord. Whoever saves this city shall take over.”
Everyone immediately stared at James, curious about his identity. Nobody had seen him before, and they doubted his reliability.
James sat in the highest seat, looked at everyone, and said lazily, “I’ll be in charge of Mount Taerl and Taerl City from now
onward. I want to know about the city’s strength, so prepare a report on the strength of the city’s powerhouses and army for me.”
