Chapter 549: Ten Minutes To Catch The Intruder

“As soldiers guarding the kingdom, you must not only face loneliness, but you must also be continuously on the lookout for foreign attackers. That is not an easy task. I will send people to assess you on occasion. If they discover that you do not fulfill the requirements, I will replace you at any time. Do you understand?”

Watson marched around the planetary fortress's gate, his hands behind his back. The soldiers' expressions became solemn as a result of his statements.

If some of those soldiers were only searching for perks and did not intend to work hard, they would have to think about it after hearing his words. They had enough benefits, so adequate punishment was also necessary. Only by demonstrating mercy and force would those soldiers be obedient.

“Your Highness Watson, I have a question.” A soldier tentatively raised his hand.

“What is your question?”

“I want to know about the criteria and qualifications.”

“It is quite straightforward. You need to promptly get the opposing kingdom's troop movements and prevent them from crossing the starlight barrier. However, if the opposing kingdom's spies infiltrate our kingdom, you've failed in your duty! Of course, it would be even better if you could anticipate the situation and take the initiative to apprehend the enemy's assassins and spies. I will reward you.”

“I see. In that case, I have something to report, Young Master Watson. Just now, the city seemed to have collided with something while it was moving. I vaguely saw a figure hit the city! The planetary fortress has already circled the surrounding cities. The residents have been warned not to appear on the city's trajectory. The figure I saw might be an assassin from the enemy kingdom.”

“What's your name?” Watson asked the soldier who asked the question with a smile.

“Your Highness, my name is Colette”

“Colette, you are able to sense when the city had hit a person, and you even analyzed their identity. You've done well. From now on, you can be the leader of the kingdom's garrison stationed at the planetary fortress! In view of your outstanding performance just now, I'll also give you a weapon.”

A book materialized in his hand as he spoke. The book had numerous bronze and silver weaponry. He activated the fusion system and forged them into a diamond-tier longsword.

[Diamond-tier weapon: Eternally Frozen Rose's Edge]

[Effects: Bloom Rose (diamond-tier spell, can turn an area into a snow and ice environment), Power of Ice (increases the effect of that weapon by 50 percent in a snow and ice environment), Absolute Freeze (diamond-tier rule, can freeze enemies).]

[Additional effects: Ice Armor Plating (when holding that sword, a layer of ice plating will automatically appear on the body, making it immune to most damage and resistant to control-elemental skills).]

The longsword measured more than a meter in length and half a meter in width. The blade's center was hollowed out, and within it were three diamonds that emitted a bright light. The chill in the air was menacing. At the bottom of the blade, a ring-shaped armguard in the shape of a snow crown floated. Rose blooms condensed from snowflakes could be spotted in the vicinity of the armguard. The entire sword appeared to be gorgeous. Everyone's attention was drawn to it the moment it appeared.

Watson weighed the longsword in his hand. Feeling the bone-piercing cold air coming from it, he nodded in satisfaction and threw it to Colette.

“That diamond-tier weapon is called the Eternally Frozen Rose's Edge. It has a great effect on those who cultivate a fire-elemental combat aura or an ice-elemental combat aura.”

“Thank you, Your Highness Watson.”

Colette joyfully accepted the longsword and knelt on one knee, respectfully. He was an ice-elemental warrior. Watson had not only given him a diamond-tier longsword, but it had also been custom-made to match the fighting aura trait that he had nurtured. That act had a profound effect on him.

He was once only an average squad leader in the fortress city. During the latest elven army attack, his brother was unfortunately killed. Fortunately, Watson was able to resurrect him using the human chess piece. He and his brother had joined the Planetary Fortress Army to show their appreciation to Watson. However, he was the only one picked by Fawkes.

“If I have immense power, I can keep my family and friends safe. I assumed that becoming the Planetary Fortress Army would help me reach my goal, but unexpectedly, my power has far exceeded my expectations! Even if the elven army attacks again, I will be able to overcome them. It is all because of His Highness Watson.”

Colette gazed at Watson while clutching the rose blade. The young man in front of him had a delicate face, but that was enough for him to devote his life to him. There had been various speculations spreading throughout the city in the last several days due to His Majesty King Landhar III's arrival. They said that Watson was not King Landhar III's son. He lacked the bloodline of the Holy Dragon Kingdom's royal family. King Landhar III, on the other hand, had abandoned the three princes and appointed Watson as the next king. Perhaps, it was because he was too exceptional.

Even King Landhar III could give up the throne for Watson, let alone ordinary soldiers like them. It was an honor to be appreciated by Watson.

There were certainly a lot of soldiers who felt that way. Many of them were envious of Colette.

“Alright, the weapons have been distributed. Now it's time to capture that suspicious intruder. This operation will be your first mission. I will reward anyone who can capture the intruder.”

“Your Highness Watson, rest assured that I will complete the mission.”

Following Colette's example, the soldiers were all rubbing their fists and full of battle spirit. Some of the vexed soldiers turned around and prepared to flee. Thankfully, the people beside them reminded them, and they quickly turned around. After Fawkes gave them the Dragon Transformation Potion and the Blessings of the Gods and Demons, they drank the two potions.

Boom!

The streets in front of the planetary stronghold trembled with a muted sound. Every soldier's body radiated powerful auras. Those troops initially sprouted angel wings on their backs, followed by dragon scales beneath their skin. The troops transformed into dragons with various forms and angel wings in a short amount of time. Dragon roars continued to reverberate across the city.

“So those potions did deed have the power to change people into diamond-tier dragons. It doesn't seem like there are any side effects.”

Fawkes looked up at the sky, blankly. After a while, he frustratedly patted his head. Watson had previously stated that he wanted to help the people improve their strength, so he had created those two potions. Watson had given them to him because he was concerned that the potions could have side effects, and Watson had only prepared a small portion for the Planetary Fortress Army, so he had not used them. Fawkes would have surreptitiously hidden the second half if he realized that the two potions would have such tremendous effects.

While Fawkes struggled with that, the soldiers who had transformed into dragons extended their wings and flew away. Their hearts were as excited as Fawkes', but they understood that it was not the time to be sidetracked. Watson had stated that whoever caught the intruders would be rewarded. They would not be able to acquire it if they were late.

Watson's prize was unquestionably excellent. Even a diamond-tier weapon was sufficient to drive them insane.

Thousands of massive dragons rose into the sky. That was a fantastic scene. Many city dwellers stopped what they were doing and gazed up.

“Let's go; we're going too.”

A whirlwind appeared beneath his feet when Watson put his hands behind his back. It lifted him into the air. Fawkes' back sprouted a pair of fighting aura wings, and he flew upward too. “Your Highness Watson, I do not know if there are any more of those two potions. If there are any left, I don't know if I will—”

“Oh? Do you want them as well? These two potions are explicitly made for the Planetary Fortress Army. Do you wish to join the army? Well, it just so happens that the army is ineedsalented individual who is skilled at management and overall planning.”

Watson glanced at Fawkes as a hesitant look appeared on Fawkes's face. “Your Highness, I don't want to join the Planetary Fortress Army.”

He only wanted to obtain two types of potions. After all, he was a city lord with a high position and authority, and he had a wife and children at home. It was hard for him to give them up.

“If you don't want to do that, then you'll have to wait if you want the potions. I plan to release the potions to the city's citizens once the entire Planetary Fortress Army has been outfitted with them. After this batch of troops, I hope to recruit another 100,000 soldiers.”

Watson noticed Fawkes's face darkening as he spoke. “But I can give you a chance. Let's bet on how long the Planetary Fortress Army will take to apprehend the assassins. If you win, I will give you a potion right away. What do you think?”

Was there such a good thing?

Fawkes first widened his eyes, then he hurriedly said, “Your Highness Watson, I shall bet ten minutes.. Within ten minutes, those planetary fortress soldiers will definitely catch the intruders.”
