**

At the moment the reddish-colored head of the fire dragon king who was one of the two fire dragon kings was shown in the plaza of the Kingdom capital, and therefore the fear of the people slowly disappeared.

The dragon king was an existence that no human could resist, and the people of this world equated their existence with a natural disaster, such as an earthquake. Therefore, when the head of one of the fire dragon kings was put on the square, the people who saw muttered ‘good luck’. They felt that dragon kings and other dangerous creatures were sent by the gods to punish humans. No one can resist the almighty will.

Of course, the people were trying to protect themselves from the existence of the dragon king. As well as the anticipation to face disaster, many of the former knights and heroes had tried to defeat the dragon king. However, until now none of them had succeeded.

Heroes and knights are not weak, at least they have a name for determination and motivation. The only mistake they avoided was ‘lah’. It is no exaggeration to say if they will not win.

The people were split into two camps, namely the stronghold that believes if the green troops brought by Queen Sigiz in their strange vehicle that has defeated the two fire dragon kings. However, the other camp is doubtful, and tensions arise between the two camps.

The news of the death of the two fire dragon kings had spread throughout the Andzrev Continent, and resulted in fear for most leaders and nobles.

On this day, the head belonging to one of the symbols of fear and terror became the decoration of the capital square of the Kingdom of Arevelk.

Just being able to drive away the dragon king was an extremely amazing thing. However, now the evidence of the death of the fire dragon king was in sight, and it turned out to have a strong impact on the person who saw it.

Their reaction can be said with ‘terona’ as well as ‘terdengang’, although the words that are suitable to describe it are ‘they stare with eyes and mouth wide open’.

The hearts of the people of Arevelk Kingdom were filled with joy and joy. However, the creature called the fire dragon king was so powerful, that it seemed unrealistic that there was an army killing him. Now, the dubious party saw the head of the fire dragon king separated from his body, all they felt was confusion.

Do not expect dragon meat can be eaten like beef or gecko are commonly used as traditional medicine in Indonesia. The scent of dragon meat was so rotten, that only insects and decomposing creatures were able to consume dragon meat. Because there was a case where a group of adventurers killed a dragon child and cooked it. However, after eating it, the entire group died of poisoning.

Dragon and wyvern meat is indeed very unpleasant and bitter, more than the bitter taste of papaya leaf herbal medicine.

However, the sound of cheers from the people of the capital made some parties ‘iri’, military officials for example.

Streets capital ‘macet’ with people who want to see what happens. Every location is crowded with people, be it streets or buildings. Suddenly, the existence of the dragon king's head made many people open an impromptu trading stall, of course there were no sellers of pegs or ice blenders in this world.

Some people even got to the roof of the building to see the head of one of the dragon kings. People crammed into the feet of others as they moved. Fortunately, there were no problems or problems.

When he saw the dragon king's head, the people stood frozen with their mouths wide open, even some forgot to blink when they saw an astonishing fact before them.

Some people seem to whisper to each other.

“Who is capable of such great things as killing the dragon king?”

“Are not the troops supposed to fight against the Luan Empire?”

In this world, there is no mass media that can quickly spread information. In this world, a trivial information can be known to the wider community within a few years later, for example a noble who willingly keep goats.

When a particular party wants to spread information, the fastest way is to paste posters and leaflets with implied information. Otherwise, some parties who become fraudsters will say “I did this!” because people are busy discussing this matter.

However, there is no technology like a smartphone, making things like this can not be posted. All one could do to see the head of the fire dragon king was watch it directly in the square of the capital of Arevelk Kingdom.

No one can answer questions like “Who did this. and what kind of big battles did they go through?”. The proof of the head of this large dragon king is proof that the army has won a battle ‘mustahil’.

If possible, the Royal artist would make a monument with the head of the fire dragon king so that this victory could continue to be remembered.

Humans are living beings who produce theories, explanations, and conclusions, then seek people to agree with their ideas. So people started to speculate.

Some people assume that only the green army brought by Queen Sigiz is the party that can defeat one of these dragon kings.

One of the parties envious of the achievement of an army that could defeat the fire dragon king was Emperor Bogat.

When the news circulated in the community, it made some parties afraid of ‘national security issues’ Luan Empire.

Almost everyone who heard this news wondered if their ears were still functioning. Afterwards, the nobles of the Kingdom of Arevelk went to the capital to see the truth.

As the nobles were busy looking at the head of the fire dragon king with gaping mouths, they seemed to have forgotten that soon the signing of the peace treaty would be implemented.

**

“What people are foretold to survive after fighting against the fire dragon king?”

Sigiz immediately drank a sip of wine, then wiped it down with a handkerchief before answering the Great Witch's question.

“Yes, he just hurt a little, but he's fine.”

Sigiz did not return directly to the Cloud Palace, but visited the residence of the great Witch to invite him to the signing of the peace treaty.

It was clear Sigiz's purpose to invite the Great Witch, because at once to show the TNI if magic and divination really existed in this world.

Suddenly, the memories of the battle against the two fire dragon kings flashed across Sigiz's head. He could not describe the incident in words.

**

This almost entirely green fighting vehicle troupe flashed at the gate of the capital of the Kingdom of Arevelk. It was a very bright daylight, and the shining sunlight was not so hot.

The wheels of the vehicle, which mostly weighs more than 2,000 kilograms, cause dust, and keep driving on the streets.

In the vehicle, all personnel heard the sound of the engine combined with the sound of musical instruments typical of the Kingdom of Arevelk. Some musical instruments have a shape similar to typha, some young people play the instrument.

When he saw a musical instrument with a shape similar to the typha, Liben remembered his hometown. As he was about to cry, the entire personnel directly hit him on the head so that Liben would not cry.

A group of teenagers sang the song in an excited tone. For those who understand the lyrics, the song contains a welcome to the knight who risked his life in the great battle. Some lyrics contain a knight who can meet his lover after following a deadly battle. It made Nio and the personnel who understood the language of this world moved.

“It's very beautiful.”

“Ya.”

“Don't miss home, we're here a long time!”

After Nio reminded that of all his members, some members actually looked annoyed. What's wrong with missing family?

Some soldiers took out their smartphones to record this welcome. Some of the female soldiers to wipe away the tears for not expecting to get a very big welcome. However they cannot post this footage, as mobile internet networks are not yet widely available.

All personnel were impressed by the rapturous reception of the people of the capital of the Kingdom of Arevelk. Or maybe they need to get out of the vehicle to blend in with them?

Groups who play musical instruments and sing seem to be happy to perform for these foreign troops.

Nio sat in the front seat, beside him was Liben driving this tactical vehicle. Nio then opened the window to disrupt the fresh air, as during the walk he only inhaled the scent of fuel.

Nio could have replaced Liben driving, in a place where there are no traffic rules and traffic lights, making driving freedom for drivers of these combat vehicles. Incidentally some of the female members also tried to learn to drive, it reminded the men how scary the female driver, let alone the mother-daughter.

Nio and all the passengers of the tactical vehicle were seen enjoying the music they had just heard for the first time.

“I can play music too. But, tonight you must..., awww..!”.

Lux suddenly appears and runs at the same speed as the vehicle that Nio was riding in. Although Lux hides her ‘cabulu’ intentions, it is clear from her tone if she tries to tease Nio. But in the middle of his words, suddenly his speech ended with a strange scream.

A woman hit Lux's head hard, it is not yet known who the woman who dared to hit the head of one of the generals of the army of Arevelk Kingdom.

“Pardon the green warrior, I will bring him so as not to make you uncomfortable.”

“Si-please.”

Nio did not know who the female knight was, but he was not interested in the female beakbaya.

“Mr Nio, tonight stop by my house...!!!”

Nio responded to Lux's words with just a wry smile. While its members stared at Nio with a full-flavored gaze ‘jijik’.

“Formerly queen, now her subordinate. Choose one and don't be gilded all dong Commander!”

Nio thought about what they said. He leaned in the most comfortable position until the group reached a large building.

**

“I'm surprised if the young girl is a queen.”

Nio smiled wryly as Sucipto said that. They both sit face to face in the hotel dining room that can be rented for 10 pieces of silver per day, which means this hotel is 3-star. Before them there was wine without alcohol, because TNI soldiers were forbidden to consume alcohol.

Not because of certain religious demands, because alcohol can make soldiers become uncontrollable and brutal.

Nio did not know the reason for the general like Sucipto mingling with the subordinate soldiers, even though the officer's dining table had been provided separately and got the best place of this hotel.

Nio said in his heart, “Hopefully the General does not know the real age of Queen Sigiz.”

Then Nio answered the words of Sucipto, “Yah, maybe the system of government in this world is a kingdom, or government that can be passed down to certain parties.”

“It is not wrong we accept warriors like you. You can draw big conclusions in a quick time, isn't that amazing?”

“Ready! Aren't you praising me too much? There are many such warriors here, so they also need to be praised.”

“Ready! Yes sir! Understood!”

Nio only smiled when Sucipto joked like that, some of the soldiers who watched were seen whispering about the closeness of Nio and Sucipto.

“But, why did you sign up to be a Student Army, and instead not join the Main Force?”

Nio understood this kind of question, because during the psychological test he also received similar questions. Then Nio tried to answer Sucipto's question with the same answer while undergoing a psychological test.

“Because I want to be placed in the Karanganyar Garrison, so that I can continue to monitor the condition of my brother. He's the only family I have, so I have to fight to protect him. Until coincidentally I was actually placed in the Karanganyar Garrison.”

“The value of mathematics is always no more than 20 digits, very master of history and foreign languages, can make plans even though suddenly, students are lazy but very clever. I also don't know want to praise you or others.”

Nio was not surprised if Sucipto could find out about it to that extent, he could only say thanks to Sucipto.

Whenever praised, Nio would sigh because most of the people who praised him were distinguished people, the President for example.

“What's the problem? Why is he moody?”

The members of the Cruiser Squad 1 who were sitting not far from Nio stole a glance towards him and Sucipto.

The capital of the Kingdom of Arevelk is one of the historic cities in the country, or it can be called a city that has a distinguished past. The city was founded before the Kingdom of Arevelk became a large country, some 2,000 years ago.

Even the history of the Royal capital was much longer than that of the Luan Empire and the other kingdoms. It could be said, the capital of the Kingdom was a pride for the people of the Kingdom of Arevelk.

Many races were Indonesian researchers decided to refer to them as Demihumans. Even so, only the ears and the additional tail alone make one of these races different from ordinary humans. Most of them are cat-eared, raccoon, and others, and a race of monsters called ‘centaurus’, a human whose half body is a horse.

Some Demihumans mastered magic, many sages and witches who studied in the capital. There had been no racial discrimination in the Kingdom of Arevelk since Sigiz ascended the throne, very different from other countries that made the Demihumans slaves.

Most of the city's buildings are two to three stories tall, buildings with four floors or more are extremely rare. On a small street, people hang laundry.

The main street of the capital was less than five meters wide, that was why the group of explorers were slightly obstructed.

The six-storey hotel building is a specially reserved inn for TNI groups in the Kingdom of Arevelk. What determines is Hin after getting word if the TNI will hold a visit to sign a peace agreement. Like most buildings in the world, the floors of buildings use very strong wood.

Hotel servants frantically served hundreds of green force personnel. Some of the servants were from the Demihuman race, it signified that this country did indeed value all the races living in its territory.

Not only the personnel of the cruiser Squad were in this hotel, but several other visitors were also here, but their numbers were not as many as these soldiers. The existence of these soldiers made them very depressed, even though the entire soldiers were being as polite as they could be.

Then the hotel visitors who are not from among the explorer Squad suddenly stood in a pose of respect to the king and queen. Then, the owner of this hotel also came out of his study to meet the two important people.

“Welcome, Your Highness Sigiz, and King Hin. It is my honor to have His Majesty come. And thank you for your noble protection for the defeat of the fire dragon king.”

For those who run the business, the arrival of important people means their business is getting famous, including according to the owner of this hotel.

“Sorry, inn owner. The ones who killed the fire dragon king were not our troops, but those who wore green clothes.”

Sigiz pointed to a row of tables filled with 320 rover personnel that surprised them. Despite their polite behavior towards the local citizens, the magicians felt a strong pressure towards the soldiers who had high combat experience, Nio was one of them.

Sucipto's minions then stood up and saluted Sigiz and Hin with a firm posture. Their behavior turned out to be able to make the Royal soldiers who became Sigiz and Hin's bodyguards feel envious.

The first lesson to become a soldier is indeed a row-striped rule, but the Royal army is not as good as the TNI in this regard.

Sucipto invites Nio who is fluent in the local language to approach Sigiz and Hin. It seems, Nio has a side task, which is to become a translator. Nio hoped that he would be paid while doing the job of being a translator.

Nio and Sucipto again saluted Sigiz and Hin, of course they both did not know how to reply. Instead, Sigiz and Hin bowed and placed a palm on the left chest in return for respect.

Of course it took the witnessing public by surprise, as that respect was only done for a truly distinguished person, having a much higher rank than a king and queen or equivalent.

Sigiz looked at Nio with a gaze of ‘terchona’, because the young man who was still doing the respectful pose was like ‘bawa’, unlike the middle-aged man who was with the potbellied Nio.

“What are most of the high-ranking officers of the army doing distended?”

Sigiz glanced towards Nio's stomach which was not as big as Sucipto's. After all, high-ranking officers with the rank of general were more likely to perform duties from indoors, in contrast to Field Commanders who mostly served on the battlefield.

**

10 Royal soldiers lead a team of explorers to the capital's famous hot springs. While Nio and Sucipto are still having a discussion with Hin and Sigiz.

The distance of the hot spring is approximately 700 meters from the inn, and can be reached on foot for 15 minutes. Never mind walking, within 700 meters the soldiers were able to take it by road while squatting.

The afternoon atmosphere in the Royal capital was a novelty for the soldiers, so they captured it using their own smartphones and cameras. The square is also starting to get crowded with teenagers who are dating, it is no different most squares in Indonesia that serve as a place to date teenagers at night.

Of course the baths were split for women and men, the Royal soldiers who directed them according to their respective sexes. Of course some warriors knew the basic words of this world, so they would not go wrong in the bathhouse.

This type of bath is an open type, where the bath can be used together, such as a swimming pool.

After storing their field uniforms in lockers, male soldiers entered the bathhouse regularly. Some of the soldiers went straight into the pool of warm water, some chose to go around.

When entering the pool, they are required to be naked. While still in their respective garrisons, the soldiers often bathed together and were naked, so this was not a problem.

Some soldiers even compared the size of their anu to that of others. Who has the big one, they're the ones who win.

Chandra and Liben are still arguing about the size of their anu, if you look at the size of anu Liben is indeed larger than Chandra, even from all the soldiers in the bath. Of course about this Liben can be proud of themselves.

Some of the soldiers were envious about the size of the Liben, the rest were unconcerned about the useless activities these young soldiers were doing.

Nio had just finished doing his job, and was ushered into the bath by two soldiers. It was impossible for Nio to be left wandering around unattended, his status in Arevelk Kingdom was a guest.

After storing his clothes in the locker, Nio entered the male bathhouse. From behind the door, Nio could hear the voices of Liben and the other members of his Squad.

Nio opened the door and greeted the members of his squad who sounded still debating about the size of anu. However, after Nio opened his towel to take a soak, everyone fell silent as anu Nio hung up to 1.5 times the size of Liben's. Instantly Liben's confidence collapsed upon seeing the size of Anu Nio.

A few people surrounded Nio, and focused on his anu.

“What's up?”

Nio did not realize that his anu was the center of attention. A while later he looked towards the people glancing.

Nio's face instantly turned pale when he found out that his anu was causing people to surround him.

He immediately escaped from the soaking pond and immediately headed for the clothes storage. His face grew even paler as people voiced their disappointment due to their smaller size than Nio's.
