Chapter 489-Chance

“I failed.”

Lily was munching on a pack of spicy potato rings imported from Japan. The 300,000-spiciness snack from Scoville made Dragon Lady very happy. Among the many snacks provided by Kant, she had a special liking for spiciness because it made the dragon feel like breathing fire.

As for why the state of wanting to breathe fire felt so good…

” What’s wrong?” When Kant asked this question, Long Niang’s gaze landed on Kant’s lower body.” Don’t you feel good when you want to spray something?”

He was speechless.

All in all, Dragon Maiden, who had just returned from the outer seas, explained the situation to Kant and Stella.

” He’s a conservative hatchet man who’s been through a lot. If we could persuade him to defect with just a few words, the Dragon Emperor wouldn’t have been disgusted by those old dragons until now.”

She told him everything she knew about the conversation, not even hiding the fact that she had persuaded him to join the King’s Party.

Kant sat on the other side of the table with his legs crossed. He looked at the map of the scorched area and studied the defense arrangements. He did not think much of Lily’s actions. After all, she was not one of them and there were no promises or agreements. It was normal for her to act for her own benefit.

However…What a coincidence.

“It seems that His Majesty the Dragon Emperor wants to use this opportunity to do something. It seems that you have accepted some tasks from the Dragon Emperor in private,” he said.

Lily said lightly,” We’re just taking what we need. He doesn’t have the right to order me around, and I’m not obligated to listen to him. He just wants to take the opportunity to weaken the power and prestige of the Conservatives. I also want to take the opportunity to mess with the old dragons who have a grudge against me. This is called hitting it off.”

Horus said in a private chat,” Father, there might be other terms of the deal. For example, the Dragon Emperor promised to help her settle the objections and obstructions from the Dragon Island, so that the dragons would no longer be entangled in the Dragon’s Oath that you and she signed, and would no longer cause trouble for you. It’s just that she was too lazy to say it. Father, don’t look at this little female dragon’s cold and distant appearance. What’s unexpected is actually…”

.. Was this for real?

Kant raised his eyebrows and looked at Lily. Lily was stared at by him for a few seconds. She frowned.” What are you looking at?” Unhappy? Do you think that my actions have affected your plan?”

“Nothing.” Kant muttered to himself, but he smiled.” Thank you.”

“Thank me for what?” Long Niang’s expression changed slightly and she said impatiently.

Kant felt a little more confident when he saw her like this.

After all, it was a man’s pride to keep his tsundere face.

He said,” Of course, thank you for your efforts. After all, your actions with the Dragon Emperor are also beneficial to Goethe. We are also willing to see a reasonable partner who can do business, instead of an old antique who holds the so-called ancient honor and incomprehensible arrogance. On this point, the Dragon Emperor and I have common interests. Of course, we can cooperate sincerely.”

” Father,” Horus praised,” you’ve only displayed amazing flexibility and reflexes when it comes to conversations that don’t involve the feelings of men and women. As expected of you.”

[So annoying. Does this guy have a mute button?]

Lily snorted and gave Kant a side glance. She raised her chin slightly.

Kant then said,” Besides, we can mess with those old dragons. We can make them look like they’re covered in dirt and can’t even take care of themselves. They won’t have the time to bother us anymore. You and I have the same goal in this regard. Perhaps that’s what we call partners.”

“Who are you?!” Horus asked in shock.

Noisy!

Lily’s lips curled into a smile. She looked at Kant suspiciously and then said coldly,” Whatever you think. I do whatever I want. They can object if they want. It has nothing to do with me. Anyway, let’s continue talking about scheming against those old dragons.”

Kant nodded.” Alright, alright. Have you told them everything?”

” Yes, including the fact that those idiotic dragons released the Curse of Erosion, including your angry intention to pursue responsibility, and that extremely harsh cannon fodder clause…”

“Why did you ask me to say those words?” asked Long Niang.

Kant smiled.” I wanted to explain it to you when you returned. But it seems that the Dragon Emperor and I have some tacit understanding. You can do it yourself. You don’t have to make another trip.”

Lily did not just bring a report, but Kant’s notice as well.

As a form of retaliation for the dragons ‘trespassing into the Sky Domain earlier, Kant ordered the dragons to send a number of superior dragons to join the investigation team to participate in the exploration and clearing of the underground caves. They would contribute to the dragons’ stupidity and make up for it.

If that was all, the dragons would have been very happy. They had wanted to search and investigate on their own, but Kant’s unyielding attitude had deterred them and deterred them. It was fine if it was just the forbidden spells, but the elves ‘attitude was so ambiguous that even the most hawkish of dragons were terrified.

This was the disadvantage of living for a long time. He had experienced everything and remembered everything.

For example, he was beaten up by the elves when he was young.

Now that Kant was willing to let them go, it was good news. After all, the guiding ideology of the elders ‘orders had changed. They had changed from defending the dignity of the dragons to protecting the dignity of the dragons.

Kant relenting meant that he had given in. It meant that he had gained face.

But the premise was that there were no additional conditions.

But there was.

And it was a very long list of additional conditions.

All dragons participating in the operation had to obey Kant’s commands unconditionally. They were not allowed to protest, question, violate, or slack off. They also had to sign an extremely strict letter of responsibility and were willing to be supervised and regulated by Goethe’s military law. If they violated any of the rules, they were willing to receive all punishments and punishments, including the death penalty, without any complaints.

Wait, wait, wait.

To sum it up, it was-in? To become a fourth-class all-purpose animal.

If you don’t listen to me, you will die. If you disobey my orders, you will die. If you suspect me, you will die.

And…

If the search caused damage to Goethe’s ecological environment or even worse, Kant would be fined heavily. He would have the right to explain and set the price.

Stella, who was sitting between Kant and Lily, shook her head.

“No dragon will agree to such terms.” she said.” This is purely to provoke them-was this part of your plan?”

“Wrong.”

Kant corrected him.” That’s a mistake. It’s not that no dragon would agree to such terms. It’s just that no dragon stationed outside Goethe’s sea would agree to such terms.”

“Is there a difference?” The Second Princess frowned.

“Of course there’s a difference.” Kant snapped his fingers and said,” Stella, we have a misconception. That is, we believe that the dragons are proud, powerful, and cold. This impression is not entirely wrong, but the crux of the problem is that, based on this impression, we have imagined the dragons as an inseparable group. In other words, a group of proud and powerful dragons are united to defend the dignity and honor of the dragons.”

” Actually, that’s not the case. They have their own temperaments, selfishness, and infighting. All intelligent creatures have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. If they avoid harm, someone else will face it. This nature can be called selfishness. All intelligent creatures have selfish instincts because they have self-awareness.”

He grabbed a plate of pistachios and scattered them on the table.

A small portion was split.

“These.” He said,” The dragon hatchet men waiting for orders outside Goethe’s sea are the armed forces and lackeys of the conservative elders. They won’t agree to my conditions, because if they agree, they will be humiliated and become my tool dragons and cannon fodder. They will also fall into a slavery contract made up of words, terms, and traps. Of course, they are unwilling.”

Kant then sent out another small group.

“These.” He pointed.” The conservative dragon elders.”

Kant pushed those happy souls far away from the group of dragon fighters. He continued,” These old dragons are far away on Dragon Island. It’s extremely safe. Since ancient times, it has been the lords who make deductions and plans on the safe and comfortable houses and exquisite military maps. Then, they order the soldiers on the front line to risk blood, mud, rot, filth, and death to fight to the death and face all kinds of variables and crises.”

” As for what the difficulty is and what the price is, it’s especially heavy for the soldiers, but it’s nothing for the adults. They only care about the accounts. They only care about the results. They only care about the numbers and not the process.”

” You mean the elders will force the dragons to agree?” Stella asked. The commander of the dragon army will definitely report it. The elders are not stupid. They should know that forcing the soldiers to agree will only cause the people below to be alienated.”

Kant took out one of the pistachios from the elder.” At least the dragon elder whose grandson is trapped underground is inclined to make them agree. Humans have different relationships, and so do dragons. In order to save his grandson, these thugs are just a necessary price.”

” What?” Stella frowned.” Will the other elders agree with him because of his selfishness?”

Kant glanced at Lily.” This elder is in charge of the arsenal. He has a high position and great influence. The Conservatives are also divided into factions. Of course, he has followers who support him. “However, this is not important. It doesn’t matter how many elders agree or how many elders object. What’s important is…”

“Dragons will force them to agree,” he laughed.

“Who is it?”

Kant picked up a pistachio. fгeewebnovёl.com

Then, he pushed the pistachio back to the pile with the most pistachios.

” The reformist dragons, the dragon’s mouths of the Dragon Country, under the instigation and promotion of the Dragon Emperor, the will of the people will turn into the strongest force and push the elders into a dead end.”

” After all, public opinion is like a piece of paper to wipe their asses when the big shots are too lazy to use it. They don’t even bother to look at it. But when the powerful big shots intend to use it, public opinion will become an invincible divine weapon. Wherever it goes, it will be swept away by the wind, and political enemies will not dare to challenge it.”

“Although our terms are harsh, they are hidden under the guise of sincere words. Whether it’s obeying orders or making compensation, they all look righteous. Of course, more importantly…”

He pointed at the largest pile of pistachios.

“I dare to bet that these dragons who were incited by the Dragon Emperor did not even bother to look at the terms.”

” As long as they hear the rumors that the elders refused to let the army join Goethe’s team that was searching for the attacked diplomatic mission in order to preserve their strength, and that the diplomatic mission had unintentionally lifted the curse of corruption and harmed Goethe, they will certainly stand on the high ground of justice, justice, and kindness without hesitation and criticize and scold the old dragons who have nothing to do.”

” The elders were helpless and had no chance to defend themselves. Otherwise, why would they be conservative? They could not defeat the Dragon Emperor, who advocated reform and established the defense of the dragon race, even if they were tied together.”

” What will the elders do?” He looked up and smiled at Stella.” Guess what will the elders do when the public opinion is raging and the Dragon Emperor takes the opportunity to launch an attack?”

Stella finally understood.

The way he looked at Kant also became subtle and fearful.

” Their anxiety to protect their power and interests will turn into urging and coercion, falling on the dragons at the front line. After all, compared to their own interests, what is dignity and life? Of course, it’s the dignity and life of other dragons.”

Kant looked at Lily again and smiled.” When the time comes, when the orders of the elders are higher and higher, the dragon commander will have a taste of being betrayed and abandoned as a pawn. Then, I think he will seriously consider the second option.”

He smiled at Lily.” You can go and inform His Majesty the Dragon Emperor. Tell him that this is a little gift from me. It’s an apology for making him angry with the Dragon’s Oath.”

” You knew?” Lily’s expression turned cold. She glared at Kant.

” What?” Kant tilted his head.” What?”

Lily looked at him for a while and sighed.

“..”Kant glared at him.” What impolite thoughts are you thinking?”

The little female dragon raised her head and stepped out of the tent.

Stella turned around and stared at Kant with her beautiful eyes wide open.

Kant felt guilty again.

Hong, where is Hong San!

“Using public opinion and cooperating with the Dragon Emperor to squeeze out the Dragon Clan’s Elders…”

“You came up with it?” the princess asked.

” Yes?” Kant nodded.” What is it?”

” I’ve thought about it again. It’s indeed the same logic. It can even be used in Goethe, the Empire, and even the various races…Then, the depth of his grasp of the people’s psychology, the familiarity and exquisiteness of his manipulation of public opinion, and the step-by-step calculations against the dragon elders and the dragon army…The person who can come up with such a plan must be a meticulous, unfathomable, and extremely intelligent sage…”

” Thank you for your compliment,” Kant said proudly.

But Stella still stared at him for a while.” Have you been playing dumb?” she asked.

“.. What?”

Kant looked confused. He did not even know what she was talking about.

Stella shook her head and sighed. There’s actually such a person in the world.”

“What are you thinking about again!”

Stella smiled. Kant was a little confused by the look in her eyes. He felt that there was something strange about the look in her eyes. He even instinctively felt that something was wrong.

“After your plan succeeded, the commander of the giant dragon really fell into the arms of the Dragon Emperor. What’s next?” asked the Second Princess.

“What next?”

” This underground cave, of course!”

“Oh.” Kant replied,” Of course, we’ll still have to let the dragons come and investigate.”

“.. Isn’t this the same as your harsh terms?”

“It’s different.” Kant spread his hands and said,” So he was the elder’s hatchet man. Of course, he was beaten to death. But now, he has become the new underling of the Dragon Emperor. Even if you beat a dog, you have to look at your master. Of course, you have to restrain yourself. He joined as the new underling of the Dragon Emperor. Whether it’s an open rebellion or a spy, he has to go through this. The difference is that with the Dragon Emperor’s protection, he’ll be more at ease. After all, we’re allies.”

Stella thought for a while and sighed,”Why don’t you give some of this cleverness to…”

“What are you saying now?”

“Nothing, nothing.” The princess pursed her lips and smiled.” It’s good, it’s good.”

Now that he was able to provoke any Tom, Dick, or Harry with his current appearance, how terrible would it be if he was enlightened?

“In short…” She said,” Next, should we wait for news?”

“Yes, but we can’t just wait.” Kant replied,” To us, the focus of the matter has changed. Finding the dragons is no longer the most important thing. The most important thing is to resolve this new crisis…I don’t know what that mysterious corrosive energy is. I’m not very good at dealing with such mysterious things. Do you have any ideas?”

“Even the Great Forbidden Spellcasters don’t have a good solution?” Stella teased.

Kant rolled his eyes. I can only dig out this entire underground area and teleport it into the deep sea. I’m sorry that I can only be so violent.”

The princess stuck out her tongue and stretched her body.” To deal with these problems from the perspective of mysticism and arcane magic, we first have to confirm the experimental results…” Through the Arcane Magic Council’s Life Department’s response regulations and testing methods, we can confirm which type of corrosive energy it belongs to, and then use the corresponding methods to specifically eliminate it…”

Kant nodded.” What if this energy isn’t any of the corrosive energies or abnormal phenomena recorded?” he asked. Then what should we do?”

Stella was slightly stunned. Then she waved her hand and said,” You’re overthinking it. The Arcane Council’s Life Department has a long history. Their records can even be traced back to the ancient treasury. Do you know how small the probability is that there’s an erosive energy that they haven’t recorded or discovered? It’s as small as the probability of a long-lost goddess reappearing and being wooed by you the next day.”

At this moment, a panicked shout suddenly came from outside the tent.

“Your Highness!”
