Chapter 629: Chapter 500: 100,000 Black Dragons!

At this point, despite Kirei Kandela, the Emperor of the White Dragon Empire, not thinking in the same way as the common people, he pretty much had the same idea. After all, Kirei was one of the few who knew the origins of Long Yi. Being a Giant meant being an unstoppable force in that ancient era. In the beginning, many races within the Multidimensional Plane worshipped the Giants like gods. Even now, some traditionally preserved races still hold reverence towards the Giants.

Kirei had no doubt that Giants could defeat the Dragon Clan. However, he remained cautious about Long Yi’s ability to overwhelm the entire Dragon Island.

Afterall, at this point, Long Yi was not yet a true Giant, while Dragon Island was still home to millions of the Dragon Clan.

In fact, after the Dragon Island Council obtained images from a Dragon Soul’s memory, they were all shocked.

The strength of a huge two hundred-meter body that instantly buried nearly two hundred Black Dragons was beyond the comprehension of any Dragon Clan. Even during the heyday of the Dragon Clan, it was hard to find Dragons with such overwhelming strength!

"I didn’t expect, the Demon Abyss Dragon who went to the Melting Fire Abyss for exploration has become this powerful!"

A trembling voice of a council member said.

"Look, at least under our pressure, Long Yi has once again shown us the future of our strength, hasn’t he?"

The Chairman Gulelie said, but there was a slight tremor in his voice.

Although with the help of the Giants’ technology, the Dragon Clan could be reborn, but the taste of death was hardly pleasant. Before, Dragon Island had sent ten thousand pureblood Black Dragons to the Black Dragon Empire with great fanfare, but now, nearly two hundred were lost in a single battle! And this was done by mere Bajie, a Dragon!

This was a straight insult!

After a moment of silence, Chairman Gulelie suddenly raised his head, looking at each councilor.

"I propose, we dispatch an additional one hundred thousand Dragon Clan troops to the Black Dragon Empire!"

Gulelie’s voice was low, cold, and trembling uncontrollably!

He was not afraid! This was rage! A rage that dared to challenge his authority!

"I object! Gulelie, have you lost your mind! We are supposed to obtain the secret of the Dragon Clan’s curse removal from Long Yi, not drive him to death!" Asus roared.

"I’m not crazy! Asus, you’re just too foolish! Haven’t you seen that Long Yi is only helping the Dragons around him lift the curse? If we don’t make him feel an unprecedented threat, he’ll never help the White Dragons of their Empire lift the curse!" Asus roared back.

Asus clenched his scepter tightly in anger and said, "Didn’t I tell you that even though Long Yi has found some methods to lift the curse, they are not stable and very difficult to employ on a large scale?"

A cruel smile appeared on Gulelie’s lips, "Of course I know, that’s why I want him to feel the pressure – to stop him thinking about these useless things! I want him to realize that only by lifting the Dragon Clan’s curse, can he save himself!"

Asus was truly angry now; his scepter shone brightly in his hand, staring at Gulelie, "Do you want to exchange the lifting of the White Dragon Empire Dragon Clan’s curse, with the continuous deaths of your own kind?"

Gulelie stared at the scepter in Asus’ hand that hadn’t shown a glow for a long time, a trace of fear flickering in his eyes. This scepter signified terrifying power and supreme authority. But it also meant the absolute control of this huge floating island!

If possible, Gulelie really wanted to seize this scepter. But it was impossible; this scepter belonged to that Giant friend of Asus. The moment Asus obtained the scepter, it was already completely linked to Asus’s space, and no one can take it away except the Giant himself.

Thinking of this, Gulelie’s voice softened a little.

"So what do you want me to do? My old friend? Should I kneel before that human and beg him to cure us? No, I cannot! I am the Dragon Clan! The magnificent Dragon Clan! The second-born of Gods! And he is just a human, a humble life created by the Giant! Never! You can use the scepter, you can even lock me up right away, but I will never give up my plan! I do everything for the rebirth of the Dragon Clan! I am blameless!"

Asus looked into Gulelie’s eyes. He saw the heart of this old dragon. He understood the responsibilities that Gulelie, as the chairman, had to shoulder. He also knew the burden that Gulelie carried, being directly responsible for launching the attack on the Giants that year.

Asus really wanted to tell Gulelie and everyone here, loudly, that Long Yi was the Giant, the Giants had returned, and they bore no grudge against the Dragon Clan! However, looking at the eyes of the old dragons around him, all Asus saw was anger. So, he decided to abandon that idea. Perhaps some people have been hoping for the return of the Giants, but at least here, all the old dragons’ eyes held were flames of rage.

"Sigh!" The glow of the scepter in Asus’ hand dimmed as he turned and left the council chamber. His figure disappeared, but his voice floated back: "Gulelie, my old friend, I hope you know what you are doing. And one day in the future, I hope you won’t regret the mistakes you made today!"

Soon, news arrived again. The Dragon Island is preparing to invest a hundred thousand giant dragons into the Black Dragon Empire!

This news completely exploded across the continent, driving everyone mad.

Does the Dragon Clan believe that the combat power of the White Dragon Empire is on par with a hundred thousand Dragon Clans?!

Even though war had been declared, after the previous battle, the Black Dragon Empire once again entered a dormant period. The large-scale mobilization of the troops was disbanded, and both nations silently re-entered a state of war preparedness. Finally, Long Yi was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the hundred thousand army of the Dragon Clan, facing three thousand Dragon Knights of the White Dragon Empire, still left the White Dragon Empire breathless.

At this point, the emperor of the Red Dragon Empire sent a messenger with a message, which was only a short sentence.

"Did you all forget about me?"

Forgot?

Kirei could only laugh bitterly at this childish letter. As an ally of the White Dragon Empire, how could Kirei forget the Red Dragon Empire? It is undeniable that the Red Dragon possesses a destructive power greater than that of the White Dragon. However, the problem is that the White Dragon Empire has to face the formidable Dragon Island, not just the so-called Black Dragon Empire. Kirei finds it hard to believe that the Red Dragon Empire could unify and join the White Dragon Empire in the battle against Dragon Island.

However, that’s exactly what happened.

The emperor of the Red Dragon Empire sent a secret message stating the Red Dragon Empire was unafraid of the Black Dragon Empire or Dragon Island. If the White Dragon Empire was willing, the Red Dragon Empire was prepared to join forces with them.

However, there was one small prerequisite.

The White Dragon Empire must enhance the combat power of the Red Dragon Empire to stand against such a powerful enemy!

In Long Yi’s view, this was indeed a good ally.

The question was, could the Red Dragon Empire be trusted?

The White Dragon Empire was being targeted by Dragon Island for its rapidly expanding power. Suppose this power was given to the Red Dragon Empire, can they really ensure that they won’t turn against them?

As the saying goes, "knowing a person’s face does not mean knowing their heart"; Long Yi had no intention of landing himself in trouble.

However, not long after, the Red Dragon Emperor sent more information. He and the Prime Minister were willing to open up the discussion, with Little Zi present to ensure transparency.

As a result, Long Yi’s attitude changed immediately.

Given Little Zi’s current strength, not even the Dragon Clan could easily conceal their thoughts. They even voluntarily requested Little Zi to be present. Could it be that they are really sincere?

Little Zi immediately set off with the envoy to the Red Dragon Empire, while Long Yi stayed domestically, continuing his Dragon Knight enhancement plan.

At times, Long Yi honestly wanted to resolve the issue with the Dragon Clan permanently, and then let them all retreat to their Dragon Star. However, this was difficult. Even though it is easy to modify mitochondria for Lumberjack Crabs and to enhance the strength of humans, it is uniquely challenging to help the Dragon Clan break the curse. The companion bodies of these mitochondria were not simple biological structures, but rather special micro-organs composed of runes and a series of arrays. To reactivate these, Long Yi would have to pay a huge price. Moreover, every dragon’s companion body was entirely different, making it impossible to create a universal concoction where a single injection would suffice.

Even if there were such a concoction, Long Yi had no intention of providing it to the Dragon Clan. After all, Long Yi understood the Dragon Clan quite well. Once they regain true freedom, will they immediately turn around and kill all humans who had ridden them for nearly ten thousand years?

In short, Long Yi’s plan now was to temporarily enhance strength from all directions. He intended to find a balance in other skills of combat. Under no circumstances could he mess up before the last moment!

The pressure of war had given various research groups significant motivation. After a series of intense experiments, a new method was successfully tested on the apes. The next part was human testing. The White Dragon Empire had many death-row inmates, some of whom were spies for the Black Dragon Empire, others opportunistic thieves and robbers. Now, they were all assigned a new task: to be test subjects.

In the end, the experiment was proven to be very successful. Some confident convicts tried to break their shackles and escape after undergoing the experiment, attempting to kill the experimenters in the process. However, they were naturally turned into sieves by the surrounding armored soldiers and their light cannons.

Then came the actual transformation.

The first batch of one hundred Dragon Knights underwent the injection, and the results were remarkable!

Firstly, the Dragon Knights’ bodies became even more robust, their whole body covered by white bone armor, akin to tailor-made Dragon Knight armor. However, their faces were not included. The face armor was a result of several nights of research work conducted by Long Yi and the Crystal Core Research Institute. It was redesigned to incorporate several useful features, such as communication commands, into the armor designed for the Dragon Knights’ faces.

As for artificial dragon wings, they were indispensable. With dragon wings, Dragon Knights could fly on their own. Of course, having a large tail was also inevitable, as it was essential for maintaining balance in flight. Unable to find a better solution, Long Yi decided to keep the tail intact.

This new image did not overly violate the Dragon Knights’ mental boundaries. Unlike the method of integration through pure magic, Long Yi’s modifications were at the biological level. This new power did not revolve too much around the characteristics of the Dragon Clan.

Unlike the robust male Dragon Knights, the female Dragon Knights underwent a different transformation. After the initial transformation, all of the female Dragon Knights’ physiques became somewhat larger. However, after this most recent change, the female Dragon Knights resumed their original body shapes. Furthermore, some female Dragon Knights who had been less confident in their figures discovered that their bodies had become extremely appealing!

This was an unexpected, big surprise! (To be continued. If you like this novel, please go to qidian.com to vote for recommendation and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
