993: Chapter 317: The Frustrated Giant Divine Dragon (Part 2) 993: Chapter 317: The Frustrated Giant Divine Dragon (Part 2) Although he hid it well, he still couldn’t escape Ye Yinzhu’s detection.
“No, I refuse,” said Sura.
Sura looked coldly at Howard and said, “The Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier Battle Group has been cooperating for a long time, and rashly adding new members will not strengthen our bat power but could actually be a drag.”
Howard angrily said, “You’re saying our Dragon Clan is a drag?
Do only you have the right to mand the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier Battle Group because of your connections, while our Dragon Clan has no right to join?”
A glint of purple flashed in Sura’s eyes as she said coldly, “Who are you saying got their position through connections?”
Howard sneered and, although he didn’t speak, his glances at Ye Yinzhu and then Sura made his meaning clear to everyone.
Sura was about to say something else, but Ye Yinzhu stopped her.
Ye Yinzhu stood up from his seat with a smile, walked slowly up to Howard, “Well, since Clan Leader Howard is so dedicated to the holy war, how could I refuse?
Starting today, you and your clan members will join the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier Battle Group.
You will all follow Captain Sura’s mands.
However, I don’t want to hear any more about those connection allegations you mentioned before.
I believe you understand what I mean.”
In an instant, Ye Yinzhu’s eyes became silver, and Howard was shocked to find that he had lost the ability to move his body.
This was not a lock wrought by Magic Elements or Douqi, but a purely mental seal.
In that split-second, Ye Yinzhu had used his immense spiritual power to directly seal the Soul Seal of Howard’s Psychic Sea.
The restriction lasted only a moment before Howard could move normally again, but the formidable Giant Divine Dragon clearly felt a layer of sweat on his body.
He had bee this powerful?
Trembling inwardly, Howard couldn’t help but feel both awe and fear towards Ye Yinzhu.
“Clan Leader, did you hear what I said?” Aside from a few individuals, no one present felt the change between the man and the dragon.
Howard thought to himself that since he had achieved his goal, conceding a bit now was no big deal, “Yes, Marshal.
I will follow Captain Sura’s orders.”
Ye Yinzhu walked back to his seat and said in a grave tone, “Next, let’s proceed with the defensive arrangements as per the original plan.”
A huge sand table, carried by twelve strong warriors, was brought in; it was the current model of the Ryuzakinus Fortress.
The generals gathered around the sand table, and Ye Yinzhu began to direct the strategic deployment, detailing every aspect of the fortress’s defense.
All of it had long been imprinted in Ye Yinzhu’s mind, as orders were issued one after another, even manding the six Tower Masters of Faran.
The meeting lasted for two full hours before it ended.
After the generals left with their orders, only Ye Yinzhu, who stood thinking in front of the sand table, and the Little Dragon Lady behind him, remained in the tent.
“That lizard clearly harbors ill will; can’t you see that?” said the Little Dragon Lady indifferently.
Her Soul Power was only stronger than Ye Yinzhu’s; anything he could feel, she naturally could as well.
Despite being the Divine Dragon King’s daughter, the Little Dragon Lady didn’t ask Ye Yinzhu for any power.
In the years of preparation, she had established her own role.
Her position was simple: Ye Yinzhu was the Allied mander, crucially important, and her duty was to protect him.
So, nominally, the Little Dragon Lady’s status was exceptional, but in practice, she acted as Ye Yinzhu’s guard.
Ye Yinzhu smiled faintly and said, “What kind of storm can he stir up?
He is scheming against me, but am I not scheming against him as well?
You’re right, he is just a lizard.
It’s about time for these so-called dragon clans from the Western Dragon Continent to end their arrogance.”
The Little Dragon Lady was taken aback, “What do you plan to do?”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head and said, “I don’t need to do anything.
Letting things take their natural course is enough.”
Over the entire span of three months, apart from the Horn Eagle Knights responsible for scouting, the Ryuzakinus Alliance Army did not expand at all.
There were also no actions taken to delve deeper into the Abyssal Plane.
They were simply focused on urgently constructing the Ryuzakinus Fortress.
In just over four months, the effects of the Ancient Tree were fully realized.
No matter how harsh the environment outside, within the Ryuzakinus Fortress it was as if a natural barrier had been erected, isolating everything from the outside world.
The immense natural aura even gradually started influencing the environment outside the fortress.
Inside the fortress, it was no different from the Human World.
With the concerted efforts of over a million craftsmen, the Ryuzakinus Fortress had been fully constructed, and all defense facilities were pleted.
The million craftsmen had withdrawn back to the Ryuzakinus Continent, leaving only one hundred thousand craftsmen from Qin City to carry out the fortress’s routine maintenance and reinforcement.
The Abyssal Plane could be patient, but Ye Yinzhu was even more so.
Over these months, several generals had proposed initiating a strike, but all were rejected by Ye Yinzhu.
What was he exactly waiting for?
Howard and his Dragon Clan had all joined the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier War Division.
At first, Howard was quite proud, as he could finally approach the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier legitimately.
As long as he could take possession of this enormous vessel, the status of the Dragon Clan on the continent would only rise.
Therefore, he was waiting for an opportunity.
Within the fortress, of course, Howard could do nothing; he wasn’t a fool.
With several hundred thousand troops from Qin City present, he had suffered a great deal before and wouldn’t act rashly.
He was waiting for the war to start; once there was war, anything could happen.
Therefore, over this period, Howard was the one who most eagerly anticipated war and proposed the most suggestions to take the initiative.
However, as time went by, Howard noticed something was amiss; his clansmen seemed to have bee quite close with those who had surrendered to Qin City.
Many of these dragons of the Dragon Clan had previously had relationships with each other, and some were even relatives.
Howard discovered that his clansmen were eating the finest foods every day and even started wearing more protective equipment.
When he inquired, the answer from his clansmen was simple: the items were gifts from the members of the Dragon Clan belonging to the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier War Division.
What frustrated Howard the most was that his clansmen ate much better meals every day than he did.
Seeing them eat the snowfish transported from the Ryuzakinus Continent while he was left with leftovers deeply fueled his anger.
But being the Clan Leader, he couldn’t just steal food from his own clansmen, right?
So, he had no choice but to protest to his direct superior, Sura, the captain of the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier War Division.
Sura’s response was clever and simple.
“You’re a Giant Divine Dragon already, why do you need such fine food?
It’s better to save the good food for the clan members who have the opportunity to evolve and enhance their strength.
Moreover, as a mander, you should lead by example and handle hardships!”
Howard really wanted to know what Sura was eating.
But Sura dined and rested within the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier, which was a place Howard absolutely couldn’t enter.
Ever since he joined the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier War Division, two individuals had always been by Sura’s side, two Platinum Behemoths.
Ye Yinzhu’s explanation was simple: the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier was vitally important; therefore, it was only right that the safety of the captain Sura be ensured by Divine Beasts.
Although Howard was quite confident in his strength, he wasn’t confident enough to contend with two Platinum Behemoths simultaneously.
Naturally, he couldn’t enter the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier.
He could only grit his teeth and endure.
Howard’s distress was entirely reasonable.
After all, he, as part of the Aircraft Carrier War Division, wasn’t treated any differently than other warriors of various clans.
And yet, within the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier War Division, he, as a Clan Leader, was receiving even less than the average member of the Dragon Clan.
With his pride, how could he bear it?
But he could find no justified reason to bee enraged.
About this, he had personally sought out Ye Yinzhu, but the reason given by Ye Yinzhu was quite straightforward: though the Dragon Clan had joined the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier, the treatment enjoyed by the Dragon Clan members of Qin City wasn’t covered by the Alliance but was an extra expense from Qin City.
The benefits his clansmen received also didn’t e from the Alliances but were gifts among the Dragon Clan members themselves.
As for why no one offered gifts to him, the Clan Leader, Ye Yinzhu simply gave an innocent explanation that such a situation was beyond his control as a mander.
The implication being, It’s your poor reputation; if no one gives you anything, who can you blame?
In the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier War Division, the resting dragons were exchanging with each other.
A Qin City Silver Dragon said to a silver dragon of the Dragon Clan, “Brother, have a taste of this.” While speaking, he passed over a beautifully crafted Crystal Vial.
The Dragon Clan Silver Dragon took it curiously, “Big bro, what is this?
It looks so pretty!”
“You don’t know?
This is Alaskan Deep Sea Fish Oil.
It’s said that only the Alaska snowfish found in the coldest seas at the far northern end of the Northernmost Wilderness can be refined to produce it.
Its value is much greater than an equivalent weight in gold.
Consuming it is greatly beneficial for our Silver Dragon Clan’s brains, especially for enhancing spiritual power.”
“More expensive than gold?
How did you get it?
Weren’t all your belongings left with the Dragon Clan when you were captured by Qin City?”
