16 Conclusion

Everyone in the battlefield have no idea what just happened. Hannigan has a little guess, it's definitely connected to the black robe man. But that doesn't matter, the war has finally concluded. Even if the fight between the three fortress golems and the Stellarknight is still ongoing, they already won this war. After all, those four are just summoned beings that have a time limit.

Once they expired, there won't be anyone defending the city since every surviving enemies, have already fled towards the other city or back to the kingdom.

After fulfilling his mission, Viscount Randolph and the other four silver-rank mages unleashed a series of explosion type spells, destroying the entire control room and burning everything including the duke. This explosions also cause a chain reaction, making the entire [Mega-ton Hermos cannon] blow up, turning the city lord's mansion into a scorching hell. Then this group of silver-rank mages silently sneak away, carrying with them the entire fortune of the duke.

Everyone who witnessed the destruction thought that the explosions were caused by too much strain on the cannon's mechanism.

After confirming that everything were taken care of, the prince ordered everyone to return. Now that every mages on his legion were dead, no one left is capable of opening a portal towards a region much closer to the kingdom. They have no choice but to ride their horses and pegasus on the way back to the capital.

In the coming days, the royal palace will slowly be devoured inside-out.

"Everyone stop daydreaming!" Hannigan's loud voice has made all the surviving warriors shift their attention to him.

Hannigan gazes at his generals. Desrook and Savant look much better now, after drinking a high-quality healing potion. Emerald wasp seems fine too, she still has some surviving human-puppets at her disposal.

"Savant, summon thousands of your 2nd-tier servants to mine those manatite ores. My giant bugs will be responsible for transporting them back." Savant respectfully listens to his lord's command and started planning an effective mining method. Using the undead to mine is more efficient, since they don't get hungry or tired.

"Emerald wasp, bring all human-puppets with you to plunder the treasury inside the city lord's mansion. There will be lethal traps laying around, but that remaining silver-rank mage must know some sensitive information about the defense mechanism."

Emerald wasp respectfully bowed, "As you command my lord." and went to fulfill her task along with her servants.

"Desrook, summon low-tier forest protectors to take all those mystic cannons back to our base. Most of them are damaged but that old dwarven can definitely repair them." Hannigan gave Desrook a simple task, knowing that he is still in a weakened state after reviving.

After he completed giving his orders to the generals, suddenly…

"Hey kid!" Barlow came and given the former captain a bear hug, not minding his hard carapace body.

"What the fuck are you doing you old fool?!" Hannigan was flustered and tried to free himself from this idiot who's defiling his eerie image of a demon lord.

"Haha, kid are you still on your rebellious stage?" Barlow was just happy that they survived the war. The other rebels also joins in to greet their former captain.

After getting away from that embarrassing situation, Hannigan finally notice some surprising detail about the [Summoning Item]. Normally after using it, the [summoning item] that he knows should lose its luster and turns into a normal crystal.

But that didn't happen, the item still has a very weak aura pulsating inside it. He also feels that the aura is actually getting stronger again, bit by bit.

In other words, this is not a one-time use item, but a [Summoning Item] that possess a cooldown. This clearly show its rarity among all other [summoning item]. Demon lord Hannigan is now more curious at the identity of that black robe man.
