Isabella and Wendy were also overjoyed, hugging each other in celebration. The Aeolus Dragon held the three dragon pattern keys firmly, its eyes determined. "I've waited too long for this. This battle, I must win!"
Alex led the group, preparing to march directly to the royal city to confront the false dragon king.
"The royal city is right ahead," Michel said, his tone serious. "Once we break through this barrier, we can root out the false dragons entirely."
"Don't underestimate the enemy," Alex said with a faint smile. "The false dragon king has ruled for many years, so he must have exceptional abilities. He will have set up heavy defenses, just waiting for us to walk into his trap."
"What should we do then?" Mila asked anxiously. "We can't just give up, can we?"
"Don't worry, I have a plan," Alex said calmly. "Aeolus Dragon, do you know the layout of the royal city?"
