After Kemun heard Vaan's suggestion, he could only give Vaan a wry look. If only it were that simple. He was certain that Pedyssin would just find another reason to nitpick with him.
"There's no need for that, Supre Leader. I believe him," Pedyssin stated, contrary to what she had said earlier. Then, she glanced at Kemun. "Since the Supre Leader has intervened, I'll let you off the hook this ti, Lord Kemun."
Kemun heaved a sigh of relief after he heard that.
In fact, the problem started when Pedyssin caught sight of a young female dragon hitting on him. In other words, Pedyssin was jealous and, perhaps, self-conscious of her age.
It was tough being a male dragon sotis – Kemun lanted.
Moving forward, Vaan summoned the nine dragon lords for a eting at the Dragon Summit.
None of the dragon lords dared to take their ti. Thus, they all arrived swiftly after putting aside their activities.
Afterward, Vaan explained the situation to the dragon lords.
"So the Holy Knight Empire's invasion is inevitable, huh?" Astarot muttered with a deep look before asking, "What do you require from us and the Red Dragon Clan as a whole, Supre Leader?"
"We have an agreent with Queen Henrietta that requires us to lend our assistance in defending the Kingdom of Black Rose from foreign invasions. Although this agreent was made for Gehenna, the Holy Knight Empire is also considered a foreign force…"
"I didn't think there would be a day we have to intervene in a conflict that isn't related to Gehenna," Astarot ntioned with a concerned look.
After all, the Red Dragon Clan wasn't ready to reveal all of their cards to the world.
"Don't worry, Lord Astarot. I will not have the whole clan participate in this war personally. After all, sending everyone out will defeat the purpose of making Gehenna overestimate our true strength," Vaan calmly stated.
"Only the young dragon elites will join the war. The rest will play a supportive role in manufacturing equipnt and magic tools to strengthen the kingdom's troops."
"How many young dragon elites are we expecting to reach Rank 5 after seven days?" Vaan enquired shortly after.
The nine dragon lords quickly shared their data before they reached a rough evaluation.
"Including Zodreg and the others, we can expect a total of twenty young elites to Rank 5 by the end of the seven days, Supre Leader," Astarot answered.
"Twenty Rank 5 True Dragons, huh?" Vaan softly muttered with a nod of approval.
Considering the might of dragons, twenty Low-level Rank 5 True Dragons would possess the sa combat prowess as twenty Mid-level Rank 5 beings.
If they joined forces, they could stand their ground against High-level Rank 5 beings and buy so ti.
Nevertheless, soon, Vaan took out all the equipnt he had acquired from the Assembly of Silent Night and tasked the Red Dragon Clan to modify their sizes and appearances to fit the witches of the kingdom.
"This… This is incredible," the sixth dragon lord, Tyvrin, comnted with astonishnt after inspecting most of the Rank 4 pieces of equipnt. "To think humans have advanced this much with Pangea tals…"
"Right," Astarot nodded as he traced his claws on a piece of equipnt and glimpsed into vague and fragnted mories of the equipnt's creation process. "In order to produce this quality of equipnt purely with just Pangea tals, they have to use a special fire and a sophisticated refining process."
"If we look at the Kingdom of Black Rose's rate of developnt, it would have taken them several hundred more years to achieve this level of advancent, and that's if they focus on magic tallurgy studies."
"Unfortunately, their focus lies in magic. Thus, I can kind of see why the Kingdom of Black Rose is falling behind in this field, but at the sa ti, not really. This knowledge doesn't seem to originate from Gehenna," Astarot stated with a puzzled look.
Even if the Devil's Contractors could borrow the knowledge of the Great Devils to produce such quality equipnt, that was only applicable to Gehenna tals.
However, the equipnt before them was made purely with Pangea tals.
Knowledgeable as the Great Devils were, even they would take ti to learn about Pangea's resources and produce quality items from them.
Furthermore, it didn't make much sense for the Great Devils to teach such refining knowledge to the humans; that was no different from strengthening their enemies.
"I agree with Lord Astarot's opinion," Narvim supported.
"The knowledge used to produce these pieces of equipnt doesn't originate from Gehenna. For example, take a look at this Rank 5 sword. This doesn't look like sothing humans should be able to produce even if they were given a thousand years."
"It seed like a master artificer used so highly-advanced techniques ant for higher-rank materials to produce this. There's hidden knowledge in these items that even we can benefit from learning," Narvim added.
"The problem is that these items aren't limited to the Assembly of Silent Night. The Holy Knight Empire possesses many pieces of equipnt of such qualities, and possibly the rest of the Pangea, too," Vaan ntioned with a frown after listening to the dragon lords.
"If what you all say is true, then the tallurgy knowledge and refining techniques used to produce these quality items must have originated from a reincarnator of this universe."
"That does seem to be the most plausible explanation, Supre Leader," Astarot and the other dragon lords agreed.
In that instant, it beca more apparent to them that more advanced civilizations existed out there sowhere among the stars.
Nevertheless, moving forward, Vaan listed a number of items for the dragons to produce, which included communication type, barrier type, spatial-interference field type, image-capturing-type, sound-recording-type, and one-ti explosive-type magic tools, among several other requirents.
Vaan also drew down rough blueprints for each requirent and explained their functions, leaving the finer details for the dragons to handle. When he checked with the dragon lords, they were able to confirm they could produce such particular magic tools according to his requirents.
After the eting with the dragon lords concluded, Vaan brought a large number of empty mory crystals back to Sunpeak Town.
By then, a new day had just started as the sun slowly rose on the horizon.
