Ace Dragon Rider
Chapter 667 - 533: The Entire Dragon Clan Appears!
At this moment, on Dragon Island.
The Dragon Clan Council was in chaos, the clamor made the entire venue seem like a boiling pot. This was the first time the Dragon Clan Council had been so out of control since its establishment. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
The reason was one thing only.
Long Yi.
The stunning strength exhibited by Long Yi was beyond what any of the old dragons present could have imagined.
One councilor shouted, "The war has just begun, and already ten thousand Black Dragons have been lost! Does Long Yi really possess such power?"
Another councilor shouted, "Those bastards Yake and Tilian are using the noble bodies of the Dragon Clan for their experiments, I propose we immediately cease helping the Black Dragon Empire!"
Yet another councilor shouted, "If Long Yi continues on this path, he will soon become dismissive of our Dragon Clan’s prestige! We must stop him!"
Then a councilor shouted, "This is all because we unilaterally supported the Black Dragon Empire, forcing Long Yi to shift more effort into developing even more powerful weapons, rather than focusing on strengthening the Dragon Clan’s power in his own country!"
Another councilor shouted, "Exactly, we should have allied with Long Yi from the start, making him realize the Dragon Clan’s contribution, and focus all attention on strengthening the Dragon Clan, rather than developing those weapons. Now, Long Yi has powerful weapons, and he is no longer interested in enhancing the power of the Dragon Clan. The war has reached this point, and Long Yi has only improved the breath of the White Dragon and Red Dragon! This is unacceptable! This completely deviates from our previous plan!"
The councilors were clearly divided into two camps: those advocating for war, led mainly by the Black Dragons. They believed that if Long Yi was still researching various weapons, it was because the pressure from Dragon Island on the White Dragon Empire was not enough. Only with enough pressure, would Long Yi inevitably abandon those so-called weapons of seemingly no use, and turn his attention to the Dragon Clan. After all, any intelligent creature could understand that once the Dragon Clan regained its original power, Long Yi’s so-called weapons would be worthless!
The other camp, however, favored peace, comprised mostly of White Dragons. These councilors believed that instead of putting immense pressure on Long Yi, they should directly lay their cards on the table. They should help Long Yi unify the world directly, and Long Yi would certainly appreciate the Dragon Clan’s assistance and do everything possible to help the Dragon Clan. With the equipment left by the Giants on Dragon Island, Long Yi might be able to achieve success in less time.
Asus and Gulelie watched with cold eyes, as the factions for war and peace essentially represented two different dragon species in the Black Dragon Empire and White Dragon Empire. Historically, Black Dragons had longed for chaos and gained respect through violence, while White Dragons preferred to resolve problems through relatively peaceful means.
Now, their positions had divided along these historical predispositions, with personal sentiments toward the two countries coming into play. After all, many of the councilors present had once served in these two nations. As intelligent creatures, it was impossible to say they were without sentiment.
To tell the truth, it was beyond Gulelie’s expectation for the situation to have come this far. He knew Long Yi must have had some special measures, but he did not expect Long Yi to be so powerful that he was unfazed by the threat of a hundred thousand strong army. Now, Dragon Island had already dispatched a hundred thousand Black Dragons, accounting for one-third of the total Black Dragon population on the island.
Would they have to send all of the remaining two hundred thousand Black Dragons?
And what if Long Yi still didn’t shift his focus to breaking the curse at that point? What if Long Yi found some more terrifying allies? The Crystal Demons? The Celestial Clan? These are the enemies that the Dragon Clan simply cannot compete against at the moment!
On the other hand, what if Long Yi lost? What if Yake and Tilian really did something, and the forces of hell invaded the Human Realm, and Long Yi was killed by Yake! Then, the first opportunity in a millennia that presented itself to all Dragon Clan would be wasted!
Gulelie was not a fool, he did not regret this campaign, all his actions were for the rejuvenation of the Dragon Clan. But if anything unexpected happens, Gulelie will also review his mistakes.
But this time, even Gulelie himself didn’t know what to do.
Because this opportunity must not be botched in any way.
So, Gulelie and Asus had spent three whole days discussing, going over the opinions of nearly every councilor present.
Gulelie advocated for war.
Asus advocated for peace.
But in fact, they couldn’t persuade each other. They each had plenty of reasons to stick to their viewpoints, and likewise, to refute the other’s arguments.
Right and wrong, all down to a single thought.
In the end, Gulelie made a bold decision.
"Silence."
Raising his hand, Gulelie commanded, and all of the councilors ceased their arguments, glaring angrily at each other.
"War or peace."
Gulelie looked at every councilor in the room, his voice low and hoarse. This was the result of three days of deliberation.
"War!"
One faction of councilors shouted in unison.
"Peace!"
Another councilor cried out.
"This time, I hand over the power to make decisions to you."
Gulelie said.
This time, every councilor was stunned.
"Don’t you understand? The war faction, don’t you want to put more pressure on Long Yi? The peace faction, don’t you want to help Long Yi win the war? Now, the opportunity has come."
"Go and do what you want to do."
What does that mean?
At first, the dragon clan councilors were all looking at each other, not understanding what this was all about. But soon, some of the councilors who caught on realized, originality, this was about involving the dragon clan fully in the war!
If the war faction wants to fight, they can go and directly help the Black Dragon Empire, and the peace faction would naturally go and help Long Yi! In this way, the dragon clan not only fully participates in the war, but also maximizes the dragon clan’s influence among humans!
The war faction is the dragon clan led by the Black Dragon, while the peace faction is led by the White Dragon. Even on Dragon Island, these two parties don’t get along well, although they don’t completely ignore each other, they don’t usually like to interact either.
Even in the days when the giants and the dragon clan lived in peace, there was no internal peace within the dragon clan. There are all kinds of big and small disputes among the pureblood dragon clan, and wars constantly break out. Relying on their numerical superiority, the Black Dragon has always been on top of the White Dragon. At that time, the Red Dragon was a natural ally of the White Dragon.
In that era, although the dragon clan had a bad reputation in the multi-universe, every intellectual creature in the multi-universe understood one thing, that even within the dragon clan, their characters varied a lot. Some are more radical, while others are relatively mild.
In the war against the giants that suddenly broke out that year, almost no White Dragon participated in the war. Even the tribe leader of the White Dragon clan challenged the command of the Dragon Emperor, arguing that attacking their brother giants would become a treacherous act that would make the multi-universe laugh, they wanted to know why. However, the Black Dragons, who love chaos and battle, served as the vanguard, they had already harbored discontentment towards the giants. In the eyes of the Black Dragons, the giants run all around the universe helping other species, this was a show of arrogance, it was a show of their strengths, this was deemed contemptuous to the extreme!
Up to now, that part of the dragon clan, who came to the Human Realm to extinguish the giants and ended up trapped here, have always had internal strife. The war of that year fragmented Dragon Island, and the conflict between the White Dragon and Black Dragon was the most prominent.
Regarding the initial decision of Chairman Gulelie to send one hundred thousand to the Black Dragon Empire, the White Dragon clan expressed full dissatisfaction. However, they did not dare to refute Gulelie’s will, after all, Gulelie, who has lived more than ten thousand years, has terrifying power. This floating island is under the control of Gulelie, if possible, Gulelie could break free from the world’s limits on power with the help of the floating island.
How powerful?
This fragmented Dragon Island is the conclusion.
But now it’s different.
The conflict between the Black Dragon and the White Dragon can finally be fully extended to the real battlefield!
Both chairmen of the factions, for a change, have made no comments but have silently left one after another.
Because every old dragon present understood that the real war had begun.
Not long after, a piece of news shocked the entire world.
Two hundred thousand Black Dragons from Dragon Island fully deployed and joined the war with the Black Dragon Empire!
When the Emperor of the Black Dragon Empire, Yake, heard this news, he felt his heartbeat almost stop. Two hundred thousand Black Dragons! Along with the previous one hundred thousand Black Dragons, makes a total of three hundred thousand Black Dragons! With these three hundred thousand Black Dragons, which enemy in this world could not be defeated! There’s no need for any tactics or plans at all! The only thing we need to do is to deploy all the Black Dragons to the front line! Then use the Dragon Breath to corrode all the enemies clean!
When the White Dragon Emperor, Kirei, heard this news, he felt his vision darken. Could it be that the thing I am most worried about is about to happen? Dragon Island is starting to get fully involved in the Human war? Three hundred thousand Black Dragons! How are we supposed to fight this! What are we supposed to fight with!
Just less than ten minutes after Kirei heard the news, Long Yi hurriedly arrived, and he had a strange smile on his face.
"I have a piece of bad news and a piece of good news. Which one do you want to hear?" Long Yi asked.
"I have a piece of bad news to tell you first." Kirei said somewhat helplessly.
"If it’s the story about the three hundred thousand Black Dragons, I already know." Long Yi said with a smile.
"Oh?" Kirei saw the smile on Long Yi’s face, felt a move in his heart as if he realized something.
"Then, let me tell you my good news." Long Yi, clearing his throat, "All the White Dragons from Dragon Island... umm, not so many, about more than ten thousand, have decided to join the White Dragon Empire to fight against the Black Dragon."
"Really!"
Kirei grabbed Long Yi’s shoulder, he couldn’t believe his own ears! (To be continued. If you like this work, welcome to qidian.com to cast recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users please read on m.qidian.com.)
