Alex rushed out of the ship, quickly making his way back to the group that was staring at the golden sphere where the Dragon Emperor was most likely inside.
"Any changes?" Alex asked.
"Nope, none," Yan Yating said. "No matter how much we attack, we can't seem to put a mark on the sphere at all."
Alex frowned. "We can't even be certain if he's dead or not," he said. "We'll have to act under the impression that he is still uninjured and recovering inside the sphere."
Alex turned and gave an order to everyone who could hear him. "Stop attacking!" he shouted. "Reserve your strength for when he comes out."
Many of the people stopped attacking, but a few didn't know if they should follow his command or not. Alex wasn't their ruler, so they were uncertain.
"His words as my words," Pearl shouted toward the ones, especially the beasts who hesitated. "Do what he says."
The beasts stopped attacking.
