The terrifying explosion and the soaring flames instantly captured everyone's attention.
Some people were woken from their sleep, opened their eyes to look outside the window, and saw what looked like two extra suns in the sky, making them fall back onto their beds in fright.
Allister also saw this scene. Ever since those Wing Tribe members left with two giant dragons, he had been keeping an eye on the direction of Ireya.
Upon seeing the flames, he blurted out, "Did they succeed?"
Only to find Conley and Claudio looking at him as if he were an idiot.
"That's not the kind of light produced by burning pine resin," Conley said. "Besides, if Lannita and the others had succeeded, it would be burning on the ground, not in the sky."
Conley's mind was now filled with panic. Although he had been contemplating how to rid himself of those Wing Tribe members to become a true emperor, now was not the time.
He still needed Lannita and the giant dragons to deal with Ireya and his two allies.
