After successfully screwing over his enemy and returning to the army camp, Hudson felt refreshed.
Looking at the situation on the battlefield, the Rocknard family's losses this time were definitely substantial, enough to cause them significant pain.
Unfortunately, Maxim was still too inexperienced. If he had been a street-smart rogue dragon, the Rocknard family would undoubtedly be weeping this time round.
A centipede dies but never falls.
It wasn't a day's job to obliterate a major power within the rules. Hudson was fully prepared for this.
He initially wanted to persuade Maxim to do it again, but eventually dismissed the tempting thought.
Nebbie dragons may lack life experience and may be easy to dupe, but they certainly aren't lacking in wisdom. Too calculated designs can easily backfire.
Being targeted by a giant dragon would mean endless restless days in the future, making it hard to get a good night's sleep.
