Chapter 400
The Almighty Dragon General
The nation observed ten minutes of silence to honor the Black Dragon, the God of War. After informing
the press of the circumstances surrounding the Black Dragonâs death, Levi chased the reporters away.
After all, what he was about to do next was not suitable for television broadcasts.
Levi entered the consulate general.
Envoys of the twenty-eight nations were here for the negotiations. After Levi walked in, a few soldiers
carried the still unconscious, badly injured Henry in.
Levi cut to the chase and spoke in a firm voice, âIn accordance with international practices, youâll have
to pay a ransom for every prisoner-of-war. A million for each common soldier, 10 billion for a general,
and 5 billion for a lieutenant, and since youâve killed our commander-in chief, weâll increase the price
tenfold. We request that you pay up immediately. Otherwise, they will be executed this instant.â
Levi revealed their demands.
Enraged, the envoys stood up. âNo way.â âLevi, youâre taking it too far.â
âHell no!â
Levi stared at them with ruthless eyes.
âIn that case, Iâll give the order to execute all the captives immediately.â
As he said that, he turned to leave.

âG-General Levi, letâs talk it over.â
âL-Letâs discuss this.â
âTenfold is too much. We canât accept this.â
The envoys wheedled.
âToo much?â
Levi pointed at the unconscious Henry and said coldly, âThe Black Shadow General is on the verge of
death. Our commander-in-chief was killed. You better pray that the Black Shadow General makes it out
alive. If he doesnât, the Black Dragon army will have our revenge.â
The envoys were appalled by his words. âFine, I accept your conditions.â One of the twenty-eight
nations gave in. âMe too.â
One-by-one the envoys folded. Soon, all twenty-eight envoys agreed to pay the ransom.
They made the bank transfer immediately. After that, Levi kept his word and released the captives.
At a military base in the Southern Plainsâ¦
Levi told James everything in detail. âCommander-in-chief, the nation now knows of your demise on the
battlefield and observed ten minutes of silence. All envoys had paid the ransom. This incident has been
brought to a close.â
âYes.â James gently nodded. Levi continued, âThe total compensation from the twenty-eight nations
stands at 8.9 trillion dollars. The money is currently in the bank account of the Black Dragon army.â
âSay what?â
James balked at the insanely high figure.
In the past, the losers paid compensation directly to him, the victor. He had never concerned himself
with the numbers.
He did not understand the concept of money.
After arriving in Cansington, he finally grasped the usefulness of money. Thus, he understood what 8.9
trillion was worth.
âYes.â
Levi nodded and continued, âThe twenty-eight nations have been bled dry. After this incident, their
nations incurred huge losses. Itâs estimated that their economies will not recover to pre-war conditions
for the next three years.â
James thought for a moment and instructed, âNotify the National Treasury and transfer 2 trillion to the
Finance department. Transfer 1 trillion to my bank account, and use 1 trillion for the Black Dragon
armyâs military spending. Divide the rest among our men.â
James knew that each of his men had their own family.
The Black Dragon army guarded the border. They could only return to their hometowns after many
years.
They were responsible for defending the border and exterminating their enemies. It would be
disheartening if they had to worry about their familyâs livelihoods on top of everything.
590 million dollars divided among the one million soldiers truly was not much.
It was a token of his appreciation.
âI thank you on behalf of our men.â James looked at Levi and reminded him, âThis money must get to
the hands of our hardworking men. I hope I wonât have to punish anyone for misappropriating the
funds.â âDefinitely.â âAlright now, youâre dismissed.â âUnderstood.â
Levi turned to leave.
James visited the military hospital.
He assessed Henryâs condition and prescribed medicine for him. Then, he ordered his men to prepare
the medicine. While they did that, he continued to treat Henryâs injuries with his silver needles.
Today was a dark day for Sol.
News of the demise of the Black Dragon, the God of War of Sol, had spread across the nation. The
God of War had left the world.
However, he left behind an immortal legend.
Especially the final combat leading up to his death. He exterminated all twenty-eight elite mercenaries
and even wiped out tens of thousands of the enemyâs army while being pursued the whole night. His
heroism would go down in history and be forever remembered by all of Sol.
