Naval Gacha System: It's Time To Monopolize The Seven Seas!

Chapter 131: | 131 | The Fall of Austerus

In the capital city of the southern colony, Austerus. A dreadful silence shrouded the marbled buildings and bricked streets. Groups of colonial guards patrolled the streets and guarded the three dividing circular walls preparing for the inevitable.

As the capital city faced its dreaded landscape, its central castle faced another challenged. After all, while the city faced the unknown, those in the control were confronted by the horrifying truth.

"I- Is this the truth?" An old man questioned with a tone brimming with doubts. He couldn't believe the reports about the status of the northern side of the colony. To think that their military outposts scattered throughout the northern lands would be destroyed in mere moments.

"It is the truth, Colonial Governor. These report could only be gain from the survivors of the northern side. Other than that, it became a wasteland covered with craters." The secretary reported with a hopeless voice.

It sounded cold, pragmatic, only speaking of the truth. His feelings had already gone astray the moment he recorded the amount of casualties in the northern massacre.

"But how? How could have they done such thing? I thought we were merely facing a single warship!? *Bam!*" The colonial governor slammed his hand onto the table. His mind surged with questions of all kinds. And he wanted answers.

Even though the colonial governor looked extremely pissed in front of him, the secretary merely lifted his glasses and answered each of his governor's questions.

"The north of Austerus was devastated through a variety of explosions. And the reason why they could do such a thing despite merely being one ship is simple. It was done by someone aboard on the ship." The secretary stopped for a second and continued.

"The Dragon of Liberation... That is what the survivors call the dragon that materialized in the heavens and blasted everything on the ground. Her identity is Laplace, formerly known as the Dragon of the Revolting Tide."

"We already knew she was a part of the United Navy. Though, we didn't expect for her to grow stronger. Her records didn't utter any violent explosions in the wake of her breath. This means that she had advanced into a higher form."

"It should explain why she looks incredibly bigger than her former size. At any rate, with her in the heavens of Austerus. We don't stand a chance." The secretary finally uttered the truth that no one wanted to hear.

It was the fact that they stood no chance against their adversary.

"B-But why is she working with the United Navy?" The colonial governor asked since the United Navy was a human-heretical organization. Why would be a beastfolk working for a human organization?

It doesn't make sense to him.

"Perhaps, their goals simply aligned with one another. It was already noted that the United Navy doesn't have the same values as the entirety of humanity. They consider the freedom of all sapient life as above all else, contradicting with the covenants erected by the Sovereigns."

The secretary didn't care about why the dragoness was working with the United Navy. What mattered was their current circumstance. The Dragon of Liberation was obviously aiming for the dismantlement of the colonial government.

Thus, the colony of Austerus must be destroyed.

"A-Ah... I was right!" The colonial governor yelled out and began celebrating like an old man who won the lottery. The secretary kept gazing at the skies and felt that something was amiss.

It was at this moment that he realized, while the dragon would have spared the city. That didn't mean that it would spare the central castle and its colonial governor. With this in mind, the secretary was about to warn the colonial governor.

Sadly, he was too late.

"My, my... Aren't you quite a celebrative one." A beautiful voice sounded out of nowhere, bringing about the attention of the colonial governor and his secretary. The colonial governor felt his spine shiver and he immediately yelled out.

"Assassin!" The moment his voice escaped his lips, numerous colonial guards entered his office. There were also various generals who were waiting to have a meeting with him.

The moment they entered the colonial governor's office. They only saw a beautiful white-haired lady wearing a jet-black suit. She had black horns and a dark tail, making her akin to a summoned devil.

Though, she might as well be one to them.

"Immediately calling out for your men, I don't know if I should be impress or disappointed. But I understand your fear. This colony has little to no wyvern riders, and has no Magus. I would also fear myself, so I won't fault you."

The edges of her lips slowly rose as she pointed at the newly-arrived men. In a moment, golden arc of lightning escaped her finger. It shot into the entrance of the office, and immediately fried the colonial guards and generals of Austerus.

"W-What do you want! I will be willing to pay for my life. Do you want wealth? Slaves? Power?" The colonial governor decided to negotiate for his life. Sadly, it wouldn't work.

To dismantle the colony of Austerus, was to terminate the colonial government and its leader, the colonial governor.

"I don't need your wealth or power. He's already enough." Laplace smirked and responded to the colonial governor with confidence. Afterward, she appeared in front of the colonial governor and swiftly crushed his head.

Blood splattered all over the office, though most that dared to strike the dragoness's body was disintegrated into dust. Though, the secretary didn't have such a spectacular power. So, he was left with being fully covered of the blood of his boss.

After killing the colonial governor, Laplace's job in the colony of Austerus was done. She slowly turned her golden eyes towards the secretary and ordered him.

"There should be the remains of the colonial military scattered throughout the colony. Make them surrender, and I will not hunt you."

The secretary rapidly nodded when he heard her orders. He didn't dare to hesitate, and it was his chance to not die. With this in mind, he didn't hesitate to take it.

"I shall do so, Lady Laplace." He kneeled and bowed before the Dragon of Liberation.
