Chapter 455: The Dragon Kings’ Meeting
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Watson, let me introduce you. That dragon’s name is Rosalia. She is one of the pregnant dragons in our lair. She has been pregnant for nine years and six months. In a few more months, she will be in labor. ”
A typical dragon’s gestation period lasts about ten years. It was distinct from humans.
Fafnir introduced Watson to the red female dragon lying in the cave’s mouth, pointing to her. Watson had helped her to achieve starlight-tier, even though her strength had been forced to drop to peak diamond-tier due to the poison Watson used, but her life form was already very different from the usual dragon.
She had become a G.o.d. Even as a Dragon King, she had never considered becoming a G.o.d because the entire dragon race had only one Dragon G.o.d in its thousands or even tens of thousands of years of history. However, with Watson’s a.s.sistance, she had easily done so, for which she was extremely grateful.
“Lady Fafnir,” Rosalia said.
When Fafnir introduced Rosalia, she was not sitting idle in the cave’s interior. She struggled to her feet and lowered her ma.s.sive dragon head as if she wanted to bow to Fafnir. However, Fafnir had already reached out to stop her before she could finish her actions.
“Rosalia, you are currently expecting a child. There is no need for you to bow.”
Fafnir looked at Watson as she spoke. “The rest is up to you, Watson.”
Watson nodded. He approached Rosalia, holding the super reproductive potion that could increase fertility. Rosalia was unafraid as she sensed Watson’s approach. Instead, she appeared nervous. Watson’s performance in the Dragon Knight selection, combined with the heroic feat of a.s.sisting the Dragon Clan in the lair to advance to sovereign-tier, had caused quite a commotion in the lair. Despite the fact that Rosalia did not go out, she was confident that Watson would not harm her.
“This potion, Miss Rosalia, has the ability to increase your fertility. After taking it, your pregnancy will improve. Give it a shot.”
Rosalia was silent for a moment after she took the potion with her ma.s.sive dragon claw. She stuffed the potion into her mouth while Fafnir and the others looked on.
“How is it, Rosalia? Do you feel anything?” Fafnir’s eyes flitted nervously as she inquired.
Despite Watson’s extraordinary abilities, Fafnir was still concerned. That was also why she did not just drop the potion into the water. Instead, she let Rosalia have a go first. If there were any issues with putting it in the water, they would be difficult to resolve. It would be preferable first to find someone to test it. Furthermore, that potion had the potential to increase a dragon’s fertility by a thousandfold. The effect would be significantly reduced if it was diluted. It would have been better to give it to a single dragon.
In response to Fafnir’s inquiry, Rosalia’s ma.s.sive dragon head swayed left and right, mumbling, “I feel great. My body has been bothering me for several years, and I get tired easily. It has been a long time since I have felt this relaxed. My body weighs as little as a feather.”
A m.u.f.fled sound came from under Rosalia’s body as she spoke. A ma.s.sive dragon egg appeared out of nowhere beneath her slender dragon tail. The dragon egg had golden scales and appeared to be very hard. The dragon egg shook violently after landing on the ground. Cracks appeared on its surface soon after. A dragon, the size of a mucus-covered human, crawled out of the eggsh.e.l.l and quickly ate it. On the body of that little dragon, a diamond-tier aura appeared. Its body grew slightly larger, and red appeared on its golden scales. Flames erupted from the cracks.
Rosalia had been expecting for a long time. When the dragons were on the verge of giving birth, Watson’s potion stimulated them, causing them to begin giving birth early.
“That little dragon has the appearance of a diamond-tier sacred fire razorback. An adult sacred fire razorback can summon flames that can burn through anything. At the same time, the barb-tipped scales on its back can withstand most attacks. I was not expecting Watson’s potion to have such an immediate effect. That little dragon is also at diamond-tier. As Watson stated, the potion he created can not only increase fertility but also strengthen the dragons!”
When she saw the dragon appear in front of her, Olena could not help but exclaim in surprise.
Rem was a little more cautious. “We only saw one dragon,” she said. “Rosalia had been pregnant for quite some time, so it is not surprising that she gave birth to a dragon egg. Furthermore, Rosalia’s partner is a powerful diamond-tier dragon, so giving birth to a diamond-tier little dragon is natural! That appears to be unrelated to Watson’s potion, which is at its normal level of production.”
“Watson, it appears that the potion is not as potent as you claimed.”
Fafnir could not help but turn her head and look at Watson with dismay.
“Do not worry, wait a second. The show has only just begun.” Watson smiled confidently.
Another popping sound came from beneath Rosalia’s body as he spoke. Golden dragon eggs appeared one after another. Each of those golden dragon eggs was the size of a full-grown dragon. When they hit the ground, they shattered, and the sacred fire razorbacks crawled out one by one. Several dozens of sacred fire razorbacks appeared on the ground soon after, and the number was still growing.
“What is going on?”
Rosalia stared blankly at the little dragons. She was utterly unconcerned. Her body felt warm, as if she wanted to close her eyes and sleep. Typically, a dragon’s birth was difficult and painful, and it was usually good enough to give birth to one dragon egg. However, she continued to lay eggs. It was as if she had been consuming food.
Not only was she stunned, but everyone else in the room was as well.
“Is that a birth? I have a feeling that even if we used magic to replicate those dragons, the speed would not be as fast,” Olena muttered.
“That is Father’s power. What is the point of being surprised?” The Golden Flash and Charcoal appeared calm, but the surprise in their eyes betrayed them.
Hundreds of little dragons crawled out from under Rosalia while everyone was stunned. After eating the eggsh.e.l.ls, the little dragon grew quickly, expanding from one meter to ten meters in length. Hundreds of little dragons measuring more than ten meters long occupied the nest, which quickly became overcrowded.
“Quick, Olena, Rem, get those dragons out of there.”
Fafnir made a quick decision to relocate the newborn dragons. That would keep too many dragons from occupying the cave and causing it to collapse.
Rosalia’s labor was done in about ten minutes. A thousand diamond-tier dragons had appeared. Some of the diamond-tier dragons were prostrating themselves beside Rosalia in the cave. They rubbed against her body. Olena and Rem brought some of them out. They practiced flying in circles above the dragon’s lair.
Rosalia exuded a motherly glow. She spread her wings and flew over the children, stopping to thank Watson. “Thank you so much, Watson. The medicine you gave me was truly miraculous. I was able to give birth to so many healthy dragon babies.”
Nothing made a mother happier than seeing her children grow up healthily.
“You flatter me, Miss Rosalia. I only did something insignificant,” Watson said.
“Lady Fafnir, something terrible has happened!” Olena, who had just left the cave, said at that moment. “All the dragons in the lair went insane after learning that Watson’s super reproductive potion had caused Rosalia to give birth to 1,000 dragons. They are rus.h.i.+ng over here now, hoping Watson can concoct the same potion for them. The lair is home to nearly 100 pregnant dragons. If they gave birth to 1,000 dragons each, the total number of little dragons would be 100,000. They will not be able to fit in the lair.”
“If we can’t fit them, we will have to expand the nesting area. It will not be a big deal! We will let those pregnant dragons give birth for as long as they can.”
Fafnir’s eyes glowed. Originally, there were only a few thousand dragons. In comparison to human kingdoms with tens of millions of people, the number was small. However, with Watson’s a.s.sistance, the number of dragons could grow by 100,000 in a single day. It was still tiny in comparison to the number of humans. However, that was already an unfathomable number.
“Watson, can you keep making the potion you just made to boost our reproductive ability?” Fafnir turned her head and asked Watson as if she was thinking of something.
Increasing the number of dragons by 100,000 every day was a good idea. Watson had to be able to make potions in a continuous stream.
“I can keep making potions as long as I have enough raw materials.”
“Excellent. Tell those pregnant dragons, Olena, to take out all the herbs and give them to Watson. Only those who have provided enough herbs will be able to obtain potions. The more herbs they provide, the more likely it is that they will get potions first.”
After Fafnir issued the order, the entire Dragon Lair welcomed an even more significant change after everyone transformed into a Dragon King.
Roar!
Roar!
The little dragons that filled the sky danced in the air. There were a large number of sacred fire razorbacks among those little dragons and many other types of dragons. No matter what kind of dragon they were, they all had a unique characteristic—they emitted a diamond-tier aura.
“I can’t believe that the dragon race can break through to the number of 100,000 in one day, and I was able to witness that scene. It’s really an honor.” An elderly dragon looked up at the dense crowd of dragons in the sky and could not help but be so excited that tears welled in his eyes. At that moment, the number of dragons seemed to be even more significant than the number of birds that flock together.
In the past, the dragons’ wish was to break through to 10,000. For that purpose, the dragon race tried all kinds of methods to increase their fertility, but unfortunately, they did not have any luck. However, all of that was easily resolved in front of Watson. In just a short day, the Dragon Clan had increased their population by 100,000. If that continued, the Dragon Clan would become just like humans. It would not be difficult for them to become the biggest race on the continent.
With their numbers and powerful strength, they would definitely be able to dominate the world.
“Thank you, Young Master Watson. You are truly the Dragon Clan’s lucky star. Other than the Dragon G.o.d, Young Master Watson has made the greatest contribution to the Dragon Clan. Even the Dragon Kings can’t compare to him! Just now, I heard Lady Fafnir say that he wants to nominate Watson to become the ninth Dragon King. I am the first to agree.”
“I also agree. Even though Watson is a human, he has made a significant contribution to our Dragon Clan. Even if we treat him as a Dragon Clan member, there’s nothing wrong with that. ”
While the many dragons were chattering, Watson walked out from a cave where a pregnant dragon was located on the rock wall. Looking at the Dragon Clan, he narrowed his eyes. “Well, 100,000 dragons are indeed too crowded. There isn’t even a place for the young dragons to stay. Furthermore, it’s too noisy to let those dragons fly all over the place. Since I’ve been chosen to be the leader of the Dragon Clan, I’ll be good to them.”
“Fusion system, activate.”
Watson extended his right hand toward the Dragon Lair and the countless barren mountains around it.
[Congratulations, Master, for successfully fusing the starlight-tier building, Divine Dragon Star.]
The countless barren mountains turned into rays of light and coiled around the Dragon Lair, causing the entire Dragon Lair to rise from the ground. It folded and curled in midair, transforming into a s.h.i.+ning star that gradually floated into midair. The place where the Dragon Lair was initially located, there was only a flat land with countless trees. The magical beasts had disappeared in all directions; they were at a loss.
The Dragon Lair was built in a continuous mountain range a few hundred kilometers east of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. That mountain range was known as the Dragon Mountain Range because the shape of the mountain range was like a dragon circling it. In addition to the presence of the Dragon Clan and many magical beasts in it, that mountain range had always been a famous adventurer’s exploration place in the kingdom that was not inferior to the underground maze outside the City of Steel.
However, the mountain range that stretched for dozens of kilometers had utterly disappeared, and a s.h.i.+ning star had appeared in the sky instead.
[Starlight-tier building: Divine Dragon Star]
[Abilities: barrier of the Dragon Clan (the main body is made up of stars and separated from the original world). It is a long way from the real world. Only the dragons can go back and forth freely), Boundary Removal (the power of the dragons will be liberated. Even if they use the power of the Divine Dragon Star, they will not be expelled from the original world), Summon of the Dragon G.o.d (it can consume the power of Divine Dragon Star and summon a Dragon G.o.d. The Dragon G.o.d can satisfy people’s wishes and at the same time contain the power of the Divine Dragon Star), Blessing of the Dragon G.o.d (any dragon living on the Divine Dragon Star will receive three times the attributes of the previous Dragon Clan. It will lose the effect after leaving the star).]
[Additional abilities: Planetary Collision (can cause the Divine Dragon Star to fall and cause large-scale damage to the ground), can only be used once per day), Ocean of Gravity (has the ability to control gravity and distort the magical field surrounding the star).]
Following the successful fusion, Watson looked up toward the sky. There was a s.h.i.+ning star above his head. It was hidden behind the blue sky. Countless dragons were floating in the air in a daze, realizing that the dragon lair had disappeared. They were at a loss. At that moment, Watson stomped his feet.
Swoos.h.!.+
With a m.u.f.fled sound, the stars in the sky were pulled infinitely closer. The dragons instantly felt the changes in their surroundings. They appeared in an endless world with ancient forests that reached the sky. There were also many tall mountains. Most importantly, a transparent barrier could be faintly seen at the top of the world. Behind the barrier was an endless pitch-black starry sky. In the starry sky, cl.u.s.ters of light spots that would light up and then extinguish could be seen everywhere; the eyes of a G.o.d were watching everything in the world.
It was as if the star was located at the boundary of the original world.
“Where is this place?”
“Why did we suddenly change our position? It feels like that place is so big, and besides the dragons, we did not sense the aura of any other creatures! Such a big place, ten million dragons could fit in it, let alone a hundred thousand. Did Young Master Watson create this place?”
After the dragons appeared on the Divine Dragon Star, they looked around in surprise, exclaiming in amazement.
“Dragons, that is the new home I prepared for you. In the past, dragon lairs were built in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Not only were they monitored by the Army of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but they were also constantly hara.s.sed by adventurers! But now, the situation is different. The Divine Dragon Star I created is essentially a star. Right now, we are in the gap between the original world and the world where the G.o.ds live. In other words, no matter what you do, no one will disturb you anymore. This is a genuinely free land. ”
Watson opened his arms as he hovered in the sky, speaking with confidence. His voice was not loud, but it resounded in the hearts of every dragon.
“Thank you, Young Master Watson, for creating such a place for us. We will never forget your kindness.” After the dragons heard Watson’s words, they transformed into their human forms and knelt on one knee toward Watson.
In the past, due to the scarcity of dragons, they could only occupy places within the human kingdom and sign a non-aggression pact with the humans. The eight Dragon Kings ruled over lairs in different places; they were scattered in five kingdoms on the continent, including the Holy Dragon Kingdom. They finally had their own territory. That place completely belonged to them, and no one could disturb them.
“Long live, Young Master Watson!”
More dragons transformed into human forms and knelt toward Watson, expressing the excitement in their hearts.
At first, Fafnir had invited Watson to the Dragon Lair because they were greedy for the magical things that Watson had displayed. Then, they had more respect for Watson. At the same time, they were glad that Fafnir had invited Watson to the Dragon Clan. If not for Watson, how could they have seen that scene that they might not even have seen in their dreams?
“Everyone, don’t get excited. Let me show you the specific usage of the Divine Dragon Star. ”
Watson nodded in satisfaction at the grateful words of the dragons. He had created that star to give the dragons enough s.p.a.ce to live and make the place where the dragons lived a secret. He wanted to avoid being discovered, just like how he had built Mount Creation at the border, the tower in the City of Steel, and the Golden Palaces in the ocean. He was preparing to transform that world into his perfect idea.
As he spoke, Watson raised a finger toward the dark sky. “Divine Dragon Summon!”
As his voice fell, the night sky that was initially s.h.i.+ning with stars suddenly lit up. The stars suddenly shone brightly and outlined in the endless universe, turning into the outline of a giant dragon. The shape of that divine dragon occupied the vision of all the dragons below. Its size was so huge that it exceeded the combined length of several stars.
1
After the unimaginably huge illusion of the dragon race appeared, a vast heavenly voice suddenly appeared in everyone’s ears. “I am the Divine Dragon, the Guardian of the Divine Dragon Star. I can fulfill your wish.”
“I want a building suitable for the dragons to live in.”
“As you wish, Master.”
After the Divine Dragon respectfully responded to Watson’s words, its body gradually collapsed from the ma.s.sive starlight. Strands of starlight fell from the night sky and landed on the ground, instantly turning into numerous dazzling temples that shone with the l.u.s.ter of diamonds. Those temples looked golden and radiant from the outside as if they were the residences of G.o.ds. They were much better than the caves in the Dragon Lair.
Many dragons were stunned by that. They breathed heavily. After all, if it was not for the lack of s.p.a.ce, who would want to live in a small cave? If there were luxurious and s.p.a.cious houses to live in, who would like to live in a simple home?
“This is the first ability of the Divine Dragon Star, and that is to summon the Dragon G.o.d! The Dragon G.o.d can fulfill your wishes and help you resist the enemy. The premise is that you must provide the Dragon G.o.d with enough abilities.
“Next, I want to show you the Divine Dragon Star’s second ability, the Ocean of Gravity. You can freely control the gravitational force around you, making the earth rise or fall. You can even distort the gravitational force to hide the ground you are on, just like that.”
Watson clapped his hands, and the entire Divine Dragon Star immediately erupted with a strong gravitational force. All the Dragons felt their bodies sink, and then all the light around them disappeared, turning into darkness. That was because the gravitational force had distorted all the light. In the dark, only the buildings that had just appeared on the star of the Dragon G.o.d were emitting light, making it seem completely silent.
The feeling of the gravitational distortion only lasted for a few seconds before Watson dispelled it, “Those are the two main abilities of the star of the Dragon G.o.d. I believe that you have also felt the remaining functions. That is, living here can increase your strength. The strength of each of your dragons is three times that of the previous ones. Furthermore, you can freely release your abilities in that area. Even if you temporarily raise your abilities to the starlight-tier, there won’t be any problems.”
“Young Master Watson is telling the truth. I feel that my body is filled with power—a single punch can crush a mountain.” A muscular dragon held a dragon claw upward; they carried a terrifying power that could crush anything.
Fafnir’s eyes lit up. “It’s okay to display the power of the starlight-tier here? Let me try.”
As she spoke, her body suddenly expanded from the human form of a young girl to become a divine dragon made of flames. Countless flames appeared in the pitch-black night sky. In those flames were the same as the starlight that had just formed the Divine Dragon in the endless night sky. They were connected and occupied the entire universe. A huge dragon that was burning with flames of unimaginable size appeared. To the naked eye, the huge dragon had three eyes and a sun disk on its back. To the naked eye, the sun disk was no different from the real sun.
When the fire dragon that covered the starry sky appeared, the temperature of the entire dragon star rose rapidly. The trees in the forest began to burn. Even the hard ground and the palace that had just been built were showing signs of melting.
The starlight tier was named so because the elites who had reached that level would be like stars illuminating the world. It was also because, after entering the starlight tier, the power in their bodies would undergo a qualitative change and become comparable to the number of stars.
At that moment, because of the advancement to the starlight tier, Fafnir had transformed into the Divine Sun Dragon. If she attacked with all her strength, her emitted power would be no different from the actual sun. Obtaining the power of the stars was the difference between G.o.ds and humans.
“Lady Fafnir, it’s so hot. My body is about to burn. Please don’t reveal your true form again. ”
As Fafnir revealed the appearance of the Divine Sun Dragon, many dragons’ scalps were on fire. The chaotic cries caused Fafnir to retract her true form in the sky and return to the appearance of a human girl.
The dragons were all peak diamond-tier dragons because of Watson’s help. However, in front of Fafnir, they were like ants. There was an insurmountable gap between the G.o.ds and the dragons.
“Watson, you have done so much for the dragons. How can I thank you? ”
After transforming, Fafnir wrapped her arms around the back of her head and came to Watson’s side with a relaxed expression. She had been suppressing her power to avoid being excluded from the world after entering the divine tier. However, there was no such restriction on the Divine Dragon Star. She had just revealed a little bit of her power. Seeing the awe-inspiring eyes of many of her fellow dragons, she felt very pleased.
“Lady Fafnir, you only need to fulfill your promise and summon the Dragon Kings over. Then, you can recommend me to become a Dragon King,” Watson responded with a smile.
“Just that request?” Fafnir was a little surprised. After a moment, she nodded. “Alright, I promise you. I’ll contact the Dragon Kings right now and ask them to hurry over! But Watson, with my current strength and the strength of the other dragons, I think I can already defeat the world. Why do you need other Dragon Kings?”
“For me, it’s not enough to do just that.”
Watson shook his head and recalled what his future self had said when he fought Nia. His real enemy was the Thorn Empire, and he only had three years left. Therefore, he had to maximize the power he could control. Since he could create eight starlight-tier Dragon G.o.ds, it would be too much of a loss if he could only create one.
That was not only for the challenges in the future but also to defeat King Landhar III.
Fafnir did not quite understand Watson’s answer, but she still followed Watson’s idea and pa.s.sed the information to the other Dragon Kings. There was a unique way for dragons to receive news from the dragon language magic pa.s.sed down from generation to generation. No matter how far away a dragon was, they would be able to receive it.
…
At that moment, in the Winter Nation, many kilometers away from the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
The capital of the Winter Nation was known as the location of the Holy Land of Ice and Snow.
“Your Majesty, after the tireless efforts of the various healers in the capital, the symptoms of the citizens killing people in a frenzy have been alleviated.”
In a palace made of ice in the Holy Land of Ice and Snow, the Queen of the Winter Nation, Gustav IV, was wearing a pure white, transparent dress. She cast her gaze on the minister kneeling on the ground.
Gustav was the name of the Winter Nation’s royal family, so the Winter Nation was also known as the Kingdom of Saint Gustav. However, most of the world knew them as Winter Nation.
Empress Gustav IV was a gorgeous woman. Her silver-white hair was tied up high, and she wore a crystal crown on her head. Her sky-blue eyes were like an ice lake that would not melt. Even though she was almost 50 years old, there was not a single wrinkle on her face.
“I understand now. Some time ago, countless blood-swords suddenly appeared in the kingdom. Those blood-colored blades are obviously from foreign attacks. According to my understanding, out of the five kingdoms on the continent, the only ones that can do that are the Holy Dragon Kingdom—they wors.h.i.+p the seven G.o.ds—and the war-loving Thorn Empire. First of all, excluding the empires that do not have any conflicts with us, the only suspect left would be the Holy Dragon Kingdom. There is a G.o.d, Ares, who rules over wars and bloodshed among their seven G.o.ds.”
Empress Gustav spoke slowly; her voice was clear.
“We thought so too, Your Majesty! The Holy Dragon Kingdom should have been in danger from us after the collapse of the Dragonspine Snow Mountain. It’s fine if they aren’t worried, but they even dare to take the initiative to attack, which gives us an excuse to attack them in return. I suggest that we send troops to the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s northern border and take the border first.”
“We don’t have to take the border. I heard that the border count doesn’t have a good relations.h.i.+p with the King of the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Maybe we can rope in the border count and deal with the royal family together.”
“The border count does have a conflict with the King of the Holy Dragon Kingdom, but that is a matter of their kingdom. It doesn’t mean that he will help us! It’s better to send troops to occupy the border first. The envoys and Her Royal Highness have yet to return, and we have had no news from them. Either they have met with an accident, or the Holy Dragon Kingdom has discovered them. Perhaps the Holy Dragon Kingdom will launch a strike against us because of that. No matter what, we have to send troops to bring Her Royal Highness back and ensure her safety.”
Looking at the ministers’ discussions below the stage, Empress Gustav IV tapped her chair with her fingers with a calm expression. When the ministers were almost done discussing, she sat up straight and said, “I have already understood everyone’s thoughts. Sending troops to the Holy Dragon Kingdom is inevitable, but we don’t have to rush to attack them. Just this morning, I received a letter from the Elven kingdom! The Elven King has already left the Forest of Eternity with his army. He will probably arrive at the southern border in a few days. Why don’t we take advantage of the time when the Elven kingdom and the Holy Dragon Kingdom are at war to invade the border and make the Holy Dragon Kingdom suffer from enemies on both sides?”
“Your Majesty is wise, indeed!”
After Empress Gustav IV voiced out her thoughts, the ministers immediately complimented her.
“Is there anything else you wish to report?”
“There’s one more thing, Your Majesty. Just now, someone saw many giant dragons soaring into the sky in the northern ice field. They were heading toward the Holy Dragon Kingdom.”
“The dragons went to the Holy Dragon Kingdom?” Empress Gustav frowned, a trace of doubt flas.h.i.+ng in her eyes.
Every kingdom had a dragon lair. That was where the dragons lived, but not all lairs would sign contracts with humans. The only dragon lair in the world that signed a contract was the lair controlled by Fafnir, located in the Holy Dragon Kingdom. The dragons were divided into pro-human and anti-human factions. Fafnir was the representative of the pro-human faction. Generally speaking, anti-human dragons lived in places with terrible conditions to avoid being disturbed. Only pro-human dragons would live in the kingdom.
That was also why Empress Gustav had been willing to negotiate with Fafnir in the early years, even though there were dragons in the northern ice field. The Dragon King that controlled the Dragon Lair in the northern ice field was known as the Ice River Dragon King; any existence that tried to enter his territory would be mercilessly frozen into ice cubes.
“The dragons in the ice field are moving out collectively toward the Holy Dragon Kingdom. What does that mean? Too many things have happened in the Holy Dragon Kingdom recently. There seems to be a pair of invisible hands controlling everything. It gives me a bad sign.”
Tapping her fingers on the chair, Empress Gustav IV raised her head. Her sky-blue eyes looked at an unknown place with deep emotions rolling within.
..
On the other side, in the direction of the Forest of Eternity in the south.
An Elven army of more than 100,000 elves was quietly crossing mountains and ridges, arriving at the southern border of the Holy Dragon Kingdom.
“Everyone, put in more effort. As long as we cross that southern forest that blocks us, we will arrive at the Holy Dragon Kingdom.”
An elf general took the bow and arrow from his back and wiped it, cheering the soldiers on.
“Previously, our elf race has been harmed by the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Even our precious Lady Avril died tragically because of their king. Now, it’s finally time for revenge.
“Take down the Holy Dragon Kingdom and kill all the people in the kingdom. From now on, the world will belong to the elven race.”
The elves raised the longbows on their backs and shouted.
Among the elves, the Elf King stood in the central area. Beside the king was a beautiful woman wearing a green robe with two curved dragon horns on her head. That woman was wearing a robe made of leaves. Her long green hair gave off a natural aura.
At that moment, the woman was looking around and said, with some emotion, “Elf King, in order to ask me to help, you are willing to spend the water from the Spring of Life! You even gave the water to your soldiers. For an immortal army of 100,000 elves, you almost dried the Spring of Life. Is it worth it?”
The Elf King’s face was a little twisted at those words. After a moment of silence, he said coldly, “It’s worth it. As long as we can kill the King of the Holy Dragon Kingdom and destroy the Holy Dragon Kingdom, everything is worth it! The elves had always guarded the Spring of Life, which did not bring us wealth. It’s better for me to use water from the Spring of Life on the soldiers and risk my life, even if that is a decision that goes against our ancestors.”
“As you wish,” the beautiful woman replied perfunctorily. “As one of the eight Dragon Kings, I am the one who controls the forest. With the amount of water from Spring of Life that you gave me, I will give you the support of a hundred dragons. That should be enough to wipe out a human kingdom, right?”
“Thank you, Forest Dragon King. That amount is enough.”
The Elf King spoke confidently. He had already sent a message to the Winter Nation a few days ago. Calculating the time, the Winter Nation should have received it. The Winter Nation was closer to the north of the kingdom. If he attacked then, it should be around the same time as the Elven Kingdom. If the Winter Nation were to play tricks and attack slowly, he would not be afraid.
With the dragons and the immortal elven army, he would be able to occupy most of the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s territory. By then, it would be too late for the Winter Nation to react.
“No matter what, I won’t lose out because my plan is perfect!” A smile appeared on the Elf King’s lips. He was already fantasizing about taking down the Holy Dragon Kingdom and seeing King Landhar III begging for forgiveness in front of him, the scene of the elves becoming the rulers of the world.
At that moment, the Forest Dragon King standing beside him suddenly changed her expression and interrupted his thoughts. “Elf King, I’m sorry. I just suddenly received a message from Dragon King Fafnir from the Holy Dragon Kingdom. She has something very important to discuss with me. It seems that I have to leave.”
“What’s the important thing? I won’t let you miss our battle with the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Forest Dragon King, I’ve given you the water of the Spring of Life.”
The Elf King looked nervous as he saw the Forest Dragon King wave her hand carelessly. “Don’t worry. With the speed of your soldiers, it will take at least three days, or even longer, even if they want to cross the forest that is full of magical beasts. That’s enough for the dragons to fly back and forth to the Holy Dragon Kingdom. Don’t worry. Since I’ve promised you, I won’t go back on my word. The dragons are creatures that keep their promises. I’ll rush back before the battle begins.”
After saying that, the Forest Dragon King spread two wings made of leaves on her back and flew into the air.. Hundreds of dragons disguised as human figures followed her into the air and disappeared in an instant.
