A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 286: Chapter 258: A Tale of Vengeance

Red Dragon Kahill ultimately lowered her head.

Fifty years—for the Dragon Race, this time span is not long; her life is far more precious than fifty years. Moreover, if it were another Evil Dragon, threatening with a life-saving debt, demanding allegiance for five hundred years might be considered lenient.

In comparison to what she gained.

This effort is almost negligible.

In the eyes of Evil Dragons, it’s almost like charity.

If not for the Giant Dragon in front of her displaying every feature of an Evil Dragon, Kahill might have suspected him to be a kind Dragon.

She felt she had made a profit.

Little did she know, Galos thought the same.

It’s well known that free things are often the most expensive; the moment Red Dragon Kahill agreed, it destined her to serve Dragon Valley and work for Galos for life.

”Now, let’s talk about how you fell into this situation.”

”It’s a long story... it’s not just one thing that led to it.” Kahill scratched the scales around her neck, her expression becoming complex.

Merely a young dragon not yet twenty.

How rich could her experiences be?

... The Red Iron Dragon’s gaze swept over the scars on Kahill: ”Then start from the beginning.”

Immediately, Kahill spoke through exhaustion, ”I am alone now, but actually, I was not living in solitude...”

She quickly recounted recent events.

From the ambition upon leaving Cliff Strait, to the silent defeat in Sel Wilderness, then the remorse and anger upon being hunted... Galos could feel the change in her emotions from her descriptions.

Among them, what intrigued Galos the most was.

It turned out that there were other Dragons as well.

Not just one Dragon located in Sel Wilderness, but three Dragons captured by the Black Rock Dwarves.

As for those dragons who died in Kahill’s description... Galos said nothing more.

The survival environment for Evil Dragons is so harsh; although those who grow up to be Evil Dragons are generally much stronger than Metal Dragons of the same age, the cost is extremely high.

In Galos’s view, Kahill and the others had almost fallen into every possible pitfall.

It might be because they were born in the Blue Dragon community, including the two young Dragons, who lacked experience in wilderness survival, were not cautious enough, and faced too many avoidable troubles.

”In this damned wilderness, even if we wish to lay low and develop, living in forbearance, all kinds of dangers still come one after another, killing our companions, making even escaping the wild impossible.”

Kahill whispered curses.

Hearing this, Galos narrowed his eyes, earnestly said: ”Born as an Evil Dragon, any place in this world is fraught with danger, full of malice.”

”Laying low? Weakness is always the greatest danger; blindly laying low and enduring hardship will only result in forever being unable to raise your head.”

He was always cautious in actions, far from being ’opportunistic.’

He knew very well that being marked as Red Iron hybrid meant that even if hiding in the darkest corners to survive, even without doing anything, adventurers or similar characters would sooner or later come knocking for a battle.

At that time, if he were weak, he would undoubtedly die.

Therefore, after careful consideration each time.

When it’s certain that the benefits of something outweigh the risks, Galos would act decisively, seeking resources and environments for his own development and growth.

”Galos, according to what this young Red Dragon said, there are still three Dragons trapped in the wilderness, captured and imprisoned by the Black Rock Dwarves.”

Solrog’s voice echoed inside his heart, saying, ”The Blue Dragon is naturally skilled in managing territory and followers; I lack such a deputy. Besides, the Green Dragon and Black Dragon each have characteristics beneficial to the development of the Molten Iron Tribe, I suggest rescuing them.”

As a standard Dragon supremacy advocate.

Iron Dragon Solrog is very willing to rescue more Dragons, creating a Dragon Empire capable of ruling the world, ultimately to be governed by the Ignatius Brothers over other Giant Dragons.

”Please, rescue the Blue Dragon caught by the dwarves.”

Kahill’s whispered plea sounded simultaneously. The proud Red Dragon lowered her head, saying, ”He is of my age, but possesses strength comparable to mine, worthy of your investment and cultivation.”

Red Dragon Samantha exclaimed with a ’huh.’

”Blue Dragon... and there’s also a Green Dragon and a Black Dragon, why not mention them?”

She asked.

Upon hearing, Kahill sneered and said, ”Green skin and black skin count as Dragons? They’re just slightly better than white scales yet still useless; they were captured with almost no resistance; it’s simply shameful. If they had been of any use, we could have broken through the dwarves’ blockade back then.”

Well said!

As a Red Dragon supremacy advocate, Samantha gave Kahill an appreciative look.

At the same time, Galos quietly contemplated, not directly answering.

”The young Dragon’s capture happened recently.”

”They were captured while heavily wounded; their lives should be unharmed. Living Dragons are more valuable than dead ones.”

”Additionally, although Sel Wilderness has the Thousand Snake Mark road network, attempting to transport Dragons is not something that can be done quickly; they are most likely still at the Black Rock Duchy outpost.”

He pondered inwardly, claw lightly tapping the ground.

Black Rock Duchy, a member of the Lothern Federation, a duchy formed by dwarves, not a vassal of any Kingdom, its military strength within the Federation is mid-level, considered moderate.

Now the issue lies with.

The risk of raiding the Black Rock Duchy outpost compared to the benefits of rescuing Dragons, which is heavier or lighter.

However, this isn’t a particularly complicated problem.

After a dozen seconds, the Red Iron Dragon lifted his head inch by inch, gazing toward the direction of Sel Wilderness.

”Solrog, Samantha, how many years have we been away from the wilderness?”

He asked.

”Fourteen years.”

The two responded instantly, without hesitation.

As long-lived Dragon Race, they’re not particularly sensitive to the passage of time; the clear recollection is simply driven by strong emotions.

”Yes, fourteen years.”

The Red Iron Dragon spoke slowly, not hurriedly: ”Unknowingly, fourteen years have already passed.”

He recalled vividly, pushed out of Sel Wilderness at precisely eighteen years old, forced to flee to the Border Area, now thirty-two years old, fourteen years have passed.

After a few seconds of silence.

The Red Iron Dragon grinned, revealing his sharp fangs.

He asked, ”Do you thirst for returning to the wilderness?”

Solrog and Samantha exchanged glances, then nodded emphatically, their eyes flashing with excitement: ”Every moment, we want to make those crawlers feel the fear dominated by the Ignatius Brothers.”

Defeated by powerful enemies, driven.

Returning stronger, seeking revenge.

Though more Dragons perish midway, stories like these appear multiple times in the Dragon Race heritage.

Raiding a Federation stronghold isn’t something new either.

After thoughtful contemplation, Galos decided to take action personally, opting for swift victory, quickly raiding the Black Rock Duchy stronghold, rescuing the Dragons, and having them serve Dragon Valley in return for saving their lives.

Black Rock Duchy isn’t much more prosperous than the current Molten Iron Tribe.

Their headquarters lies in the south, only some troops stationed in Sel Wilderness, perhaps two or three resource points in total.

Even if they become furious post-attack, wanting to strike against Molten Iron Tribe.

They must consider if their forces can safely traverse Sel Wilderness, if their supplies can support such a distant war, if they can endure a fight in the Border Area against Molten Iron Tribe.

Moreover.

The number of Dragons in Sel Wilderness isn’t small; being attacked by Dragons makes it difficult to directly pinpoint the Border Area.

Most importantly, Molten Iron Tribe awaits the flames of war to ignite before advancing into the wilderness; before then, Galos wants to test what reaction the Federation has internally when an internal member is attacked.
