No time better than present

Currently Irene and Belserion were in the meeting room with the other ministers. There were no other dragons there as most of the dragons were sent to the battlefield to fend off the hostile dragon while a few were left behind in order to protect the kingdom. They have all gathered as Belserion had to report something to the others as it was quite a disturbing matter or so Belserion says. Damian was also invited there along with Clive as the ministers decided that of the news is as grave as Belserion proclaims to be then it would be better that the two envoys from Adroelia know about this as well as they were their allies.

Belserion then looked at everyone and once Irene gestured that everyone was present Belserion nodded and then started explaining the situation.

Simply put the situation was a bit grave according to Damian. According to Belserion one of the dragons who is a guard at the outpost of the battlefield of the dragons noticed several dragons sneaking away from the battlefield and mo ing towards the kingdom and even though they were able to deal with most of them 12 or so still escaped them and we'e heading towards the kingdom and since their units were already less compared to that of the hostile dragons, they don't have the luxury to send some from the battlefield towards then as it will likely weaken them on the battlefield. Some dragon slayers were still sent towards the dragons, but the dragon indirectly said that the dragon slayers were not match for the Dragons who got past them. That was the gist of the story.

The whole meeting room was filled with arguments as all the ministers were panicking about what to do about the situation. Sure, they can send the Dragons and the dragon slayers that are currently there in the Kingdom but that means leaving the security od the kingdom practically naked, and that is something that they cannot afford specially during a time of war.

Seeing that the conversation was reaching nowhere Damian who was currently not wearing his mask looked at all of them casually and said, "Should I take care of it?"

At this the whole room fell silent and all of them looked at Damian thinking that he was joking but one of them was different.

Belserion looked at Damian seriously and asked, "Can you do it?"

And once again all of them including Irene was shocked and looked at Belserion with their mouths wide open.

"Belserion-sama, you cannot be serious, no matter what post he might be in Adroelia, they are still dragons, not to mention Ian-sama is not even a dragon slayer."

"Yeah! How do you think a person who is not even a dragon slayer can take down a dragon much less a dozen of them."

Irene looked at Belserion with a mixture of both confusion and anger and said, "Belserion it is not a time for jokes, we are already in a tough situation, don't make it even worse."

But both Damian and Belserion ignored the others and said, "Yeah, no problem with that, its just that the time will change depending on what attribute the Dragons are, Oh, also the collateral damage is something I am not going to take responsibility for. And I am also not going to deal with the evacuation."

Hearing that all of them once again turned their gazes at Damian and wanted to say something but Belserion started speaking, "No problem about the collateral damage will be there if you catch upto them before they come near a town or something, right? And about the evacuation, leave that to me, I can carry all of them away from danger even if we were to be near a settlement."

"You coming too?"

"Yeah, I mean it is actually a problem for our kingdom, We cannot be dependent on the people from other kingdom like this."

Irene who have been ignored by the two became enraged and said, "HAVE BOTH OF YOU GONE MAD!!!!!"

Both of them looked at Irene and then said at the same time, "Oh, she is mad."

Damian then said, "We are not mad, it's just that it is within my speculations. It would not be a big deal to if it is just that many, besides while I am at it, you all might be able to make some sort of plan and execute it, so even if you don't think that I can beat them I and Belserion will still be able to hold them back for a while, till you all would be able to come up with something."

Hearing that the whole hall fell silent. The explaination that Damian gave them was not something they were able to retort to, it was the truth that currently they don't have any plans for the situation, so if someone was able to get some time for them even if it is a little bit it would be beneficial to them.

Irene who was totally against the idea of the both Belserion and Damian taking charge was not able to say anything. She knew that what the two were saying was a good idea but at the same time, she didn't want two of her most important people to put their lives on the line and that too at such a dangerous situation.

Seeing that none of them was going to oppose them Damian stood up from his seat and said, "Well, seeing that none of you have any problems with this, I would be going along with Belserion, and if you think that we are just putting our lives on the line then just do your best in coming up with a plan. Let's go Belserion."

Belserion looked a bit surprised seeing Damian ready to go immediately and asked, "Now?!"

Damian looked at him, shrugged his shoulders and said, "No time better than the present."

Belserion just nodded and then the two of them left the meeting hall which was left completely silent once the two of them got out.

Irene looked at all of them and said, "The meeting is adjourned, we will have a discussion about the matter tomorrow as well, so try to come up with a counter measure." She then stood up and walked out of the room while massaging her fore head and thought, 'He really know how to worry me. WHY THE HELL DO HE HAVE TO DEAL WITH THE DRAGONS ON HIS OWN!!!'
