Everyone in the stronghold erupted in panic.
"A Rock Dragon! We're doomed!"
"Another rampaging dragon attack? We've already lost over ten strongholds to them!"
"The Black Gold Chamber of Commerce won't help us! They control the city, it's their responsibility to save us!"
"Don't be ridiculous! The Chamber of Commerce has lost more than ten teams already. They've given up on the dragons!"
Just then, Lu Yu stepped forward. "Everyone, calm down. I'm here to help."
Disbelief washed over the soldiers. "Are you serious? Sent by the Chamber of Commerce? That's impossible! They're practically throwing in the towel!"
Lu Yu shook his head. "No, I'm with the hunting team, not the Chamber. We're obligated to assist you this time."
"The hunting team? But you're alone! What about backup?" someone asked curiously.
