Chapter 276: Submit

Noah's subordinates apprehended all of the attackers.

It wasn't challenging to capture them since these men could no longer move due to the Dragon's Prestige.

Since their lord was already dead, his aura in the Commanding Badge could no longer shoulder this Dragonic Prestige for them.

Noah's entire group was quite surprised when they witnessed this scene. They were confused since they didn't experience that suppressive feeling at all.

They had no idea that the Dragon's Prestige was suppressing them, and it was Noah's aura that was defending them.

Noah recalled the details he had heard from Patrick regarding this Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament.

'They are all suffering under the Dragon's Prestige?' He wondered.

"Your master is already dead. You can no longer stand, let alone run away. This simplifies matters for you. If you want to survive, then surrender. That is all I want to say," Noah spoke while sitting on a stone as he gazed at these warriors who had attacked them.

For a couple of seconds, no one spoke. They were thinking deeply about Noah's words.

They observed Noah's subordinates and Noah as well. They wondered whether it would be a good idea to submit to this guy.

Suddenly, one of these warriors shouted, "I submit. I submit! Please deal with this suppression now!"

Noah nodded his head and pulled out his commanding badge.

Blue light from the commanding badge was shot out that scanned the man. After a couple of seconds, the man felt the dragon's prestige disappear.

As that man's comrades saw him stand up, they immediately decided to submit to Noah as well.

Noah accepted their surrender.

In the end, only ten warriors remained stubborn and refused to surrender. Noah naturally didn't show them any mercy.

He ordered these warriors who had just surrendered to kill these warriors. He was testing their resolve.

He noticed the hesitation in the eyes of the warriors chosen for this task.

Noah was slightly confused as he witnessed that hesitation. They might hold some hidden resentment for Noah because of making them slaughter their comrades.

Or should he be pleased that they were willing to listen to his orders? Didn't this mean that his group had expanded?

Currently, there were 80 warriors in Noah's group if these were to be counted. 3 warriors from Noah's group had lost their lives in the earlier battle.

Soon, the stubborn warriors who refused to surrender were killed by the newly surrendered warriors.

Noah gazed at them and ordered them with a monotonous voice, "Introduce yourself."

Slowly, the warriors began to introduce themselves one by one. After half an hour, they were done.

"Set up the camps for us all and also patrol during the night," Noah ordered before he stood up and returned to his tent.

These warriors were quite startled to hear this order.

They were awaiting some sort of heavy punishment. Perhaps some whips or torture or even interrogation at the hands of Noah's subordinates.

However, Noah gave them a very light punishment.

A few of them even believed 'He is just a little naïve kid.'

These warriors did as they were instructed. Noah's subordinates watched these men pitch the tent and quickly set up the camp.

Their coordination was a lot better than Noah's subordinates. And Noah's subordinates felt like they had seen something new.

Many of Noah's subordinates belonged to the Origin Sect's Branch. They had never done menial tasks like setting up camps or something else. They had servants who would do such tasks for them.

However, they couldn't bring those servants along with them here in this Heavenly Dragon Battleground's Tournament.

In the Hall, the King and his entire group of ministers had witnessed this battle.

A minister had his eyes fixed on Noah as he spoke out with an excited smile, "This time's batch is truly exceptional. This boy has not only gained insight into the sword, but he has even comprehended a part of the Sword Domain! I have never witnessed such a talent in the world!"

This minister's identity was quite special. Because other than being a minister, this man was also the King's tutor.

Naturally, that was the case when the King was a youth.

However, the King still greatly respected his tutor and would normally listen to his words.

When the other ministers heard the final sentence, they couldn't help but stare in the King's direction with a doubtful gaze.

This man had tutored the King, yet he had just uttered that this boy was the best talent he had witnessed!

Wasn't he implying that the King's skill wasn't comparable to this boy's? In reality, he was looking down on the king.

This was a very disrespectful statement. These ministers were curious about the King's response.

The King remained quiet as his eyes focused on Noah.

He seemed to have ignored his tutor's words. The other ministers turned their gaze back at the multiple screens.

"Your Majesty Tryfon, even if this boy does not win. It would be prudent to approach him after the tournament," The King's tutor added this statement.

The King nodded after some moments, "I had the same thought. He is inexperienced and naïve. But his strength and potential can make up for these faults."

A minister suddenly spoke out, "…This is just the beginning, your majesty. I believe there will be many more warriors who will surprise us."

This minister had another identity. He was also a member of the Night Mountain Sect.

"It looks that you have a lot of faith in your disciple, Danil," Another minister voiced her opinion. It was a semi-dark-skinned woman with a modestly proportioned physique.

Unlike Danil, she possessed no other identity and was merely the King's advisor.

However, she didn't fear anyone among the ministers. And possessed the sharpest tongue among them.

"I do. If this kid is only on this level, then he will be soundly defeated by my disciple, Takis," Danil replied with a confident tone.

"Is that so? Was your disciple as strong as him when he was merely 10 years old?" The dark-skinned woman asked with a sneer.

Danil was speechless as he replied, "…No."

"Yeah. How amazing your disciple is. He can win against a 10-year-old, and you can assert his supremacy by pointing out this feat. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?" The dark-skinned woman asked while pointing her finger at Danil.

Danil's face flushed with embarrassment. He didn't think his random words would be used against him in such a manner.

He managed to squeeze out a response, "…I have never spoken anything against this boy's talent. Just as Lord Kostos had spoken, this boy has the greatest talent I have ever witnessed in my life. However, what we should focus on now would be who would win this tournament. I merely believe my disciple has a greater chance than this boy."

Danil was trying to divert the attention away from this boy and towards the other tournament participants.

Another minister suddenly spoke, "I concur with Danil's statement. The boy appears strong, but his Sword Domain is incomplete. And he doesn't seem to possess any treasures. It would be difficult for this boy to challenge the other warriors who possess the awakened spiritual weapons with them."

The minister who assisted Danil was one of Danil's comrades in the court. He possessed a good influence in the court and had successfully changed the topic.
