I reign supreme in the Western fantasy world for eternity.

The old commander's gaze swept over the golden lizard a little distance away, and he had already made up his mind.

Such a large lizard is indeed rare, but truly ancient fairies have always been unruly. Even the powerful fairy that I am currently commanding only cooperates with the legion for the sake of continuous battles, and in most cases, it obeys orders but not commands.

In contrast, the large lizard in front of them showed no dignity whatsoever in front of the female knight, even wagging its tail like a domestic dog.

Third-generation fairies are at most third-generation fairies with relatively pure bloodlines.

It's highly likely that it was the legacy of some fallen noble family, which this arrogant young man stole.

His last remaining concern was finally put to rest.

"Beast Taming School? Young man, you think you can stall for time? I've seen countless people try that trick on me. You think you can get away with a few nice words?"

He didn't give Ji Tian another chance to speak.

He raised his right hand and gestured to the tiger demon beside him, indicating that it was safe to proceed.

The demon resembling a striped tiger was already poised to attack. At this moment, it pressed its front paws into the gravel ground, carving four shallow marks on the stone slab with its claws. Then, its entire body shot out like a taut bowstring.

Extremely fast and menacing, its sharp teeth aimed straight for Ji Tian's shoulder and neck joint, attempting to dislocate the target's weapon-wielding arm in an instant.

Its goal was to first provoke the great goblin by killing its human companions, and then engage it in a fierce battle.

After all, he couldn't fly and hadn't mastered wind magic, so it would be difficult to get close to the opponent without drawing their aggro.

Behind it, the old commander began to stride calmly, his footsteps landing precisely on the edge of the dust raised by the tiger demon, neither obstructing the demon's attack route nor straying too far from the firing range.

He was waiting for the right opportunity.

If the tiger succeeds in this attack, he will take over the situation, take the bag of giant snake remains, and send the other party to court. If he is lucky, he may even gain control of the golden lizard.

If the opponent manages to dodge, he will follow up with a second strike while the opponent is still off balance.

However, what happened next completely exceeded the old commander's expectations.

When the tiger demon's sharp teeth were less than half a foot away from Ji Tian's shoulder and neck, Ji Tian's right hand reached forward and precisely grabbed the tiger's throat the instant it pounced in front of him.

The moment the hands closed, the demon's throat made a dull thud, as if it were being clamped by iron pincers.

The tiger's struggles were futile, so it tried to become ethereal, but Ji Tian's fist was faster, landing solidly on its head, shattering its thoughts and instantly dismantling its attempt to become ethereal.

Stones flew everywhere, the tiger arched its back, and its front paws frantically pawed at the ground.

Ji Tian didn't give it a chance to catch its breath, and then stepped on its flailing front paws to prevent it from escaping.

The old regimental commander stopped in his tracks, the composed smile on his face not yet completely fading, but frozen into a strange still image.

It is common sense to prioritize attacking the fairy's master during battle, so in most cases their master is a knight, who at least has some ability to protect himself.

But... that was just self-defense, it didn't allow you to fight back!

Only fairies can defeat fairies, isn't that common sense?

He swallowed hard, and with a wry smile, he began to speak:

"Young man... uh, sir knight, is there some misunderstanding between us?"

The captain and his adjutant reacted faster than he did.

The moment the tiger fell, the captain abruptly turned his horse around, his boot heel slamming hard against the horse's belly, the horse's hooves kicking up a cloud of dust.

The adjutant followed closely behind, and the two rushed towards the town entrance almost simultaneously.

They didn't even have time to turn around and look at the old commander, let alone check whether the tiger was alive or dead.

However, they had only taken a few steps when the golden dragon appeared at the end of the street not far ahead, its massive body blocking their way.

The captain yanked the reins hard, and the horse reared up on its hind legs, letting out a long neigh.

The captain stared wide-eyed at the enormous figure in front of him, his lips trembling as he tried to utter a threatening word but couldn't.

The adjutant simply rolled off his horse and raised his hands high.

"No, don't do it! We don't know anything!"

A moment later, the three were tied side by side to a big tree at the entrance of town, with rags stuffed in their mouths.

The so-called second-generation fairy hasn't woken up yet and is being watched over by Xiao Hua.

Seeing that the strongest fairy and the old commander had been captured, the knights in the distant squad dared not make any rash moves. They were also afraid that the noise of their escape would attract the pursuit of the flying giant lizard. They could only stand there anxiously.

The old commander initially tried to struggle, but after Ji Tian persuaded him with reason, he immediately became obedient, leaning weakly against the tree trunk, not even daring to move his eyes.

Lilith squatted down in front of them, hands on her hips, and mocked them.

"Weren't you so arrogant just now? You said the court of judgment and civilians died so easily, but now you can't even speak? Is this how your knightly order usually bullies people?"

The old commander wanted to say something, but with his mouth gagged, he could only make muffled sobs.

Lilith gave a soft snort and stepped back to Ji Tian's side.

Ji Tian ignored their expressions, squatted down, removed the gag from the old commander's mouth, and asked the first question:

Have any people from outside been detained or taken away recently?

The old commander coughed a few times, took a couple of breaths, and then quickly replied:

"No! Absolutely not! There are caravans and travelers coming and going in the North all year round, and outsiders occasionally pass through, but not a single one has been left unimprisoned!"

Ji Tian observed him for a few moments to confirm he wasn't lying, then asked the second question:

Where is the World Tree? And what level were the seven original fairies?

"Why ask that? Isn't that basic knightly common sense?"

"I'll ask you a question, you answer it. Why all the nonsense?"

"The World Tree is a legendary thing. No one knows exactly where it is. The seven first fairies are the ancestors of fairies. It is said that each of them has the power to contend with the entire world, but no one has ever seen it with their own eyes."

Ji Tian thought for a moment and then asked his third question: "To what extent can you cultivate your battle qi?"

The old commander's expression became somewhat subtle, as if he didn't quite understand why Ji Tian was asking this, but in the end he still answered honestly:

"Theoretically, there is no upper limit to battle aura. If there is enough time and resources, it can be improved indefinitely. However, most people will never be able to compete with a second-generation fairy in their entire lives."

Ji Tian nodded slightly, then used a few punches to lull the three of them to sleep. He then stood up and said to Mia:

"Your teammates should have been teleported to this world as well. Could they have been detained by the powerful forces in this world?"

Mia pondered for a moment, then shook her head:

"With their strength, they won't be easily captured unless they encounter one of the world's top experts. They are likely looking for an exit to leave this place."
