Chapter 84: The Dragon’s Treasure
Jason put his hand out and made the dragon co down to nuzzle its snout in his hand before he looked up at the tab hovering on the dragon’s head and humd.
It was a Rank II Rook, and that ant it was sowhere on the sa level as the Adamantine Ant Queen that Jason had resurrected a while ago, but Jason knew that there was no way this was true. Although the Adamantine Ant Queen was strong, it was still not powerful enough to hold a candle to the dragon! Even when they were fighting, the Adamantine Ant Queen needed the help of the other Rook-class subordinates to put the dragon down properly.
’So does that an the power gap in the Rook Rank is very large? If a monster this powerful is seen as a simple Rook Rank II, then how powerful does the monster need to be before it can beco a Rook Rank III?’
Jason grinned at the system. If his theory was true, then he could look forward to just how much more powerful the Rook Rank III would be. It’s probably going to be as strong as the Leviathan Rank boss of a yellow gate!
Jason felt a great feeling of excitent bubble up from his heart when he realized just how powerful the Rook Rank III would be, but before he could really enjoy the mont, a new notification popped up in his system.
——

——
Jason grinned. He had been waiting for the system to finally say sothing about him naming his subordinates. For a while, Jason thought about just giving his subordinates random nas to make it easier to call on them, but after Jason started gaining more and more subordinates, he realized that it would be difficult for him to even rember all their nas and he gave up on that line of thought.
But now that the system was giving him a feature for it, he could finally do it. The best part of all this was the fact that only the Rooks and higher would be getting nas. If Jason had to na three hundred pawns, he would lose his fucking mind!
’I’d probably just give them nas that start with letters or sothing like that. A, B, C... They’d fucking hate .’
Jason laughed at that before he turned to the large dragon in front of him. If he was going to na anything first, then it had to be this. Jason might not be the sort of person to spend all his ti on fantasy gas or movies because of how he was always working, but that didn’t an he wasn’t interested in them. He had seen a lot of clips from movies like Ga of Thrones and gas like Elden Ring and Elder Scrolls. They were just pastis, but they were fucking aweso to him.
So Jason crouched down and put his hand on his chin as he started to think of a na. He needed sothing good. Sothing simple that he wouldn’t bite his own tongue off while using. Sothing like...
"Ragnar...?"
Jason’s brow furrowed as he mumbled this na and he heard the dragon release a loud roar once it heard it! Jason looked up in surprise, and a smile spread on his face.
’You like that na.’
The dragon looked down at Jason and released a puff of smoke from its nose. It was a good na and the dragon liked it!
"Alright, let’s go with Ragnar."
[Does the user wish to grant this subordinate the na [Ragnar]? Yes/No]
Jason chose yes, and the tab above the dragon’s head changed.

Ragnar brought its head down to Jason and nuzzled him with steam coming out of its nose. It was glad to have a na! Jason laughed and pushed it back before it could throw him to the ground.
’Okay, okay, that’s enough. You’re gonna burn . hahaha. Alright, I have to na the other three. Co over here.’
Jason called on the other three Rooks and they ca over quickly. Jason decided to first pick out a na for the [Adamantine Ant Queen], and after thinking for a while, he settled on the na Raya. For so reason, it just seed to fit.

Raya ca over and nuzzled Jason in thanks as well, and Jason laughed while making sure to avoid the sharp mandibles that would definitely cut him. But suddenly, Raya was shoved to the side by Ragnar and she stumbled away before Ragnar ca around and nuzzled Jason as well. Raya hurried to her feet and screeched in anger before running to Ragnar and throwing him to the ground! How dare you try to steal the King away!?
Jason watched as the giant ant and dragon tussled, and it didn’t take long before Ragnar was sitting on top of Raya and preventing her from getting up. Raya cried out in anger as she tried to cut Ragnar’s legs with her mandibles, but Ragnar just laughed while releasing hot smoke from his nostrils. Jason ignored the both of them like a father ignoring his playing children and turned to the remaining two Rooks.
The [Adamantine Ant Soldier] was next, and Jason humd for a while before he decided on the na Dino. The ant reminded Jason a lot of a dinosaur, especially with the way it fought in the previous raid, so the na seed fitting.

Dino screeched into the air as it tried to get close to Jason for a hug as well, but before it could even reach Jason, it was snagged out of the air by Ragnar and put under its feet together with Raya! Ragnar nuzzled Jason’s face again, and Jason couldn’t help but put his head in his hand and laugh! He finally understood what was happening! Ragnar was possessive of him!
Dragons were all very possessive creatures, so they were always trying their best to prevent anyone from getting close to their treasure. But now that Ragnar was Jason’s subordinate, it saw Jason as his treasure and didn’t want anyone getting close to him.
’Just don’t kill them, Ragnar. I don’t want to waste mana to resurrect them again.’
Jason turned away with a laugh as he sent this ssage to Ragnar, and Ragnar roared back in agreent! But Ragnar suddenly cried out as Dino and Raya both managed to flip Ragnar off his feet, and the three of them began to tumble through the forest as they fought for dominance!
