RE: My Dragon Girlfriend In The Dragonic Apocalypse-Novel

Life can be a hassle sometimes, and it can be grueling. Some people wish they were dead, but once you die, that is it. There is nothing else. At least Blake felt this way before until he himself was reborn. But whether it was a whim of some god or just some kind of freak accident, as he stared at the rows upon rows of coffins in front of him, he hoped that those who died would be able to go back in time or be reborn.

The city was very silent. The fog of mourning those who died had settled in. The bodies had already been burnt one at a time, and their ashes were placed into the coffins to avoid any chance of them becoming undead.

The entire population of Destiny City was gathered around the monument as Blake carved the name of each person into it. So that those who died would always be remembered by having their name carved onto this monument. He also set up a plot of land for the graves so each casket would be buried with its own personal tombstone as well.

It took him two days to carve in the names. During this time, no one left. They all watched as Blake continued carving in the names of the dead. One after another, he continued to carve names until he finally carved the last one. He then turned and looked at the citizens of Destiny City with a sad expression. It really did hurt to know these people died for his dream, for this city that they had all built together.

"This battle cost us a lot. We fought. We died. But we came out victorious. Allowing those who died for our right to survive in this world to not have died in vain. All of you. Every single one of you is to thank for how we were able to overcome the odds. Like how we were able to use the technology and weapons we created here in this city to beat an enemy that had millions of soldiers compared to our few numbers.

"Those that died can rest in peace knowing they had fought for our freedom. Our freedom to live as we please and to live a life like no other. A place where no one is suppressed. A place where no race is looked down on. A place that you all, me, my family, and yours, have worked hard at building up. Using what we have learned to make things better and better. Let's have a moment of silence. To thank these brave souls for allowing us and Destiny City to see another day…." Blake lowered his head and closed his eyes. He had quite a few people he was friendly with die. He wanted to rush and destroy the bastard that had caused him and his people harm. But he could not order an all out assault. He had to give the people of his city an option.

After a long silence, Blake once more raised his head and cleared his throat. "People of Destiny City!"

His voice rang out, gaining everyone's attention instantly. "I do not wish to see our city coming under attack ever again….. But I also do not wish to force anyone to run to our enemies' nests and take them down. But I will ask this. For those who wish to expand and help take over the lands surrounding us until we have formally annexed any areas owned by the three clans who have attacked us, please raise your hands. For those who raise their hands now, we will be pressing forward and expanding in all directions. From coast to coast, from north to south. Until everything is within our control. A few miles a day. Taking in those who need new homes. Growing Destiny City from being a small city to a country."

Blake did not even need to count as he saw thousands of hands raised into the sky. Mostly every citizen of destiny city had raised their hand and were willing to fight. Willing to gain revenge, one step at a time.

A while later, inside the meeting room, things were quite busy. "Blake, since you decided to go all out now to reclaim land, we will need to have forces who will be moving city walls and constructing new ones, as well as building new homes for new residents. I suggest the dragonic men under our custody do this."

"That's fine. Put the dragons to work as well. They are all under our control now. We will start with the elves. I already promised Noa we would liberate the elven people from the elven royal family. It would be best to do this anyway. We can take in any races along the way and bluster our forces.

"Training will also increase as well. New weapons will need to be made on a larger scale. There is a lot to do, but for now, we can slowly expand our territory towards the south. Our northern flank should also be guarded day and night. Have the magic surveillance systems moved past our outposts. In all areas about a hundred miles out. Do not leave any openings. We are not ready to fight another wave of dragonic, but we can at least prepare to put up a damn good fight if needed." Blake knew a lot needed to be done, but for now, this was a good start.

"You do not need to worry about the dragonic for a while," Clance spoke up. "The crown prince will not be in a good spot due to this loss. He will need to lay low for a while before he can try to fight once more. If he admits to the loss so soon, he will not have any gain with my father, and because of his relationship with his sister, he can only sit and wait until things smooth over more. Only then can he admit that something went wrong, and he can blame it on the general."

"That's good to know. Then our first objective is to take over the elves!"
