[: 3rd POV :]
The moment the ninety nine expedition leaders returned...
Silence enveloped the entire world.
Daniel stood at the very front of the gathering while behind him stood the Fourteen Rulers of Vahl'Zareth alongside the commanders, generals, and elites who had each returned victorious from their respective conquests.
Every one of them carried relaxed smiles.
Not because the battles had been easy.
But because every mission had been completed successfully.
Daniel slowly swept his gaze across everyone.
"I'm glad all of you returned safely."
A warm smile appeared on Melira's face.
"We've completed our mission, Daniel."
King Thrain laughed proudly.
"Hahaha! Those planets never expected us to arrive."
Kaelgor folded his arms.
"Most surrendered after witnessing our strength."
Sylthara smiled elegantly.
"A few resisted."
"...They no longer do."
Maiya immediately raised both hands.
"I conquered mine the fastest!"
Aeriwen sighed.
