994: Chapter 317: The Frustrated Giant Divine Dragon (Part 3) 994: Chapter 317: The Frustrated Giant Divine Dragon (Part 3) The Qin City Silver Dragon scoffed disdainfully, “What do those riches amount to?
I wouldn’t care for them even if they were offered to me now.
When I was first captured by Qin City, I was indeed furious and anxious, uncertain about how Qin City would deal with us.
Later, when Qin City tried to recruit us by threatening our lives, I thought they just wanted to enslave us.
But eventually, I realized how fortunate it was to be captured by Qin City.”
“What?
You find happiness in captivity?” the silver dragon of the Dragon Clan asked his kin, puzzled.
“Don’t you understand?
I knew you wouldn’t.
Hehe.
Our Qin City is rich, and now, who doesn’t know our wealth in the entire continent?
Even Faran might not match up to us.
See this deep sea fish oil?
Every one of the Silver Dragon Clan in Qin City has an allowance of it.
I have quite a lot; just eat it without worries.
Brother, not to boast, but living in Qin City is many times better than before.
Not only is it more enjoyable, but the higher-ups also really consider our welfare.
Although the training is tough, the food we eat now was unimaginable before.
While in Qin City, we dine on different rare foods almost every day.
Not to mention, remember when I left the Dragon Clan, your magic was even a rank higher than mine?
Look now, my scales have even started acquiring a purple hue, and my strength has reached the peak of rank nine.
You, over these years, still remain the same; frankly speaking, if you encounter me on the battlefield, you’d be defeated.”
While speaking, the Qin City Silver Dragon even shook his own equipment, his sturdy dragon claws were fitted with magic gem-studded claw covers, and his vulnerable neck and heart area were protected by special armor.
This armor was embedded with uniform magic arrays, specifically designed for the Dragon Clan.
With the amplification of the magic arrays, the Silver Dragon could unleash magical powers without reduction, yet only consuming two-thirds of the original energy.
The silver dragon of the Dragon Clan looked at his kin’s shiny equipment with envy, sighed heavily, and said, “You know, Howard that old miser hoards all the good stuff in his lair, even pilfers our belongings.
Hoping for him is futile.
Had I known, I wouldn’t have fled so quickly; it would have been better to be captured with you.”
“Hehe, this is a case of fate diverging among kin.
Life in Qin City is so wonderful; no race faces discrimination there, everyone is a partner.
Our situation is much stronger pared to the past where we had to fend for ourselves and even watch out for our own kin.
Our Lord, the Zither Emperor, is the mander of this allied force.
After the holy war, our Qin City’s status might even surpass Faran.
Do you see our Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier, that’s unique to Qin City.
Its power, once you witness it, you will understand.
Howard harbors so much hostility against us in Qin City, hmph, under his leadership, the Dragon Clan will only decay.
If one day, in impulse, he clashes with us in Qin City, I’m not joking, brother, you’d better flee for your life; just the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier alone could obliterate the entire Dragon Clan.”
“Is the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier really that fearsome?”
“I guess you’ll see soon enough.
Talking doesn’t do it justice; hearing is believing but seeing is the truth.
I have already e to terms with it.
His Excellency, the Zither Emperor, being a foreign Divine Dragon, is also a Giant Divine Dragon.
In our hearts, he is the leader of our Dragon Clan in Qin City.
Only under his leadership will our Dragon Clan bee stronger.”
The same scenarios almost happened in every interaction within the Dragon Clan, gradually, subtle changes started to occur within the Dragon Clan legion of the Zither Emperor’s Aircraft Carrier Battle Group.
And all of this was pletely under Sura’s control.
In the Marshal’s tent, Ye Yinzhu’s expression was grim as he stood in the center, surrounded by the five deputy marshals of the allied forces and the six Tower Masters of Faran.
These individuals constituted the true upper echelon of the allied forces.
Tower Master Aubrey couldn’t help but say, “Yin Zhu, we have been in the Abyssal Plane for almost five months, and during this long time, the Abyssal Plane, as if unaware of our arrival, has made no response.
This is very abnormal.
Should we initiate a strike, even if just a tentative one?”
Ye Yinzhu shook his head and said solemnly, “Our current situation is very disadvantageous; it’s what we expected as the worst scenario.
If I’m guessing right, the Four Abyssal Countries must have reached some agreement.
During this time, they have been mobilizing troops, preparing for a total assault on us.
The intellect of these Abyssal Creatures is higher than we imagined.
There are two situations in which an attack on the allied forces would be most disadvantageous for us.
One is to attack us with concentrated forces while we are still unsteady.
But our arrival was sudden, and we didn’t give them that opportunity.
Upon realizing they couldn’t prevent us from establishing a fortress and lacked sufficient forces for a quick strike, they didn’t waste their own strength.
They want to gather enough forces and then strike decisively, which is the second situation.
The six Masters, I need you to guard the portal exit to prevent any surprise sabotage by the Abyssal Demon King.”
Aubrey nodded and said, “That’s our duty.
However, always being at an impasse is not a solution either.
If the Four Abyssal Nations keep postponing their attack and we keep waiting, the consumption is immense.
Millions of troops consume astronomical amounts of resources daily.
Our defense is already fully prepared; yet the Abyssal Plane isn’t attacking.
Continuing like this, even with the support of the entire Ryuzakinus Continent, it would be hard to sustain for a long period.”
Ye Yinzhu said, “I have considered this, but the Four Abyssal Nations are more anxious than us.
A hasty attack would only increase our losses.
The fortress is finally established, with the Ancient Tree as our support, allowing our warriors to exert their maximum bat power.
However, once we attack, we give up the advantage we worked hard to build.
Although the response from the Abyssal Plane is more challenging than anticipated, we cannot deviate from the original plan.
We must continue to wait.”
Xi Duofu and Crespo, the top two vice marshals, nodded simultaneously.
Xi Duofu said, “I support the Marshal’s suggestion.
We shouldn’t rush against Abyssal Creatures, nor should we be hasty ourselves.
Once our warriors are lost, they would be devoured by the enemy, being their strength.
This would only increase the danger to our forces.”
Crespo said, “I also support the Marshal’s opinion, but could we, Marshal, think of some way to force those Abyss Nations to attack us?
After all, although we now occupy the channel exit, we haven’t touched their core interests; we’re just a nail in the Abyss Continent.”
Ye Yinzhu nodded and said, “I have considered this as well.
Since they don’t e to attack us, well, I will give them a little surprise.
Starting tomorrow, we shall expand our territory through environmental enhancement.
I don’t believe that under such circumstances, the Four Abyssal Countries won’t panic.”
The next day, the Ancient Tree, which had stopped growing for half a month, started growing again.
This time, the life energy it emitted strengthened multifold.
The immense natural aura easily leapfrogged the range of hills, beginning to spread astonishingly fast in all directions.
Indeed, the Ancient Tree had begun evolving again.
Once it evolved to the level of the Eternal Tree, its natural aura’s coverage would increase more than tenfold.
The environmental improvement would also be more direct.
Although it couldn’t provide massive Magic Elements for mages to cultivate like Faran, in such an optimal living environment, the bat effectiveness of all warriors, especially those of the Elven Tribe, would greatly increase.
The evolution of the Eternal Tree was even faster than that of the Ancient Tree, and the reason was simple; it was fully backed by the life force of Ye Yinzhu.
Having been tempered by the Soul Fire of the Divine Dragon King, Ye Yinzhu could now control the release of life energy with his spiritual power, so he no longer needed to fuse his blood into the Ancient Tree as before.
Instead, he only needed to continuously infuse life energy to help the Ancient Tree evolve using the most appropriate energy.
The entire evolutionary process lasted ten days.
Ten days later, the area around the fortress had pletely transformed into a paradise.
Once the evolution of the Eternal Tree was plete, the range covered by its natural aura ensured the air was pristine, and even the sky was affected, making everything harmonious.
The ground’s dark rocks, corroded by the Dark Element for many years, even began to transform into a substance similar to diamond—this discovery greatly excited the military leaders of various countries, as it represented a tremendous wealth!
Attacking the Abyssal Plane was initially unprofitable, but with the appearance of these diamonds, there was now an additional benefit of resource plundering in the holy war.
Thus, the morale that had slightly dipped over several months saw a substantial restoration.
The Eternal Tree, being the ultimate existence of the Elf Tribe, had an extremely apparent effect on environmental improvement, not only within the range of its aura.
Any polluted air that entered its aura was immediately purified.
The Horned Hawk Knights responsible for external reconnaissance clearly found that even outside the range of the Eternal Tree’s natural aura, as long as they weren’t too far away, the air was very fresh.
