Food Reserves on the Dragon's Back

"I've heard of it, but I don't know much about it."

"The Kingdom of Chintaka in the west originally had five dragons, which were barely enough to block the surprise attack of the Giant Eagle Knight, but another one died recently. The orcs are afraid of me now, and they dare not attack Andorcia. Let's do it there, so the dragons from Chontaca want to join us."

Silas had heard that the dragon clan also had its own small group, and the one living on the top of the dragon in Andorcia was the largest group of dragons on the entire continent.

These groups are not fixed, and often split or merge. For example, if a male dragon finds that all the women in the group have a close blood relationship with him, he will leave the group to try to form or join a group. new groups.

According to the practice of the dragon clan, if other dragon groups want to join the top of the dragon, the leaders of both sides will have to fight to decide who to listen to in the future, and all members of the losing side will stand up for a long time. If you can't start, your status in the new group will be very low. As far as the current situation is concerned, none of the leaders of other dragon groups can defeat Sarannar, who is proficient in magic, so their willingness to join the top of the dragon has never been high. .

And now, if the four dragons stay in the country of Chintaka, they will almost certainly be torn to pieces by the Giant Eagle Knight. They don't have the powerful magic that can make the Giant Eagle Knight come and go like Sarannar. Whether to protect status or save life is the priority, the choice is obvious.

"Why did a dragon die so well? Is there any conspiracy in it?" Silas asked with a learning attitude.

Sarannar smiled: "There are so many conspiracies, he just died of an accident."

"No way, the dragon is so powerful, how could he die in an accident?"

"Being strong doesn't mean you won't die." Sarannar said, "You should have heard the story of Invincible Ham."

Silas nodded, of course he had.In the story, Hamm is powerful and superb in martial arts. Even if a hundred people fight together, he can’t beat him. He thought he was invincible and he had nothing to be afraid of. However, the rats in the house gnawed on the pillars, and the house suddenly fell down. He was invincible In this way, Ham was crushed in the head by the falling girder in his sleep.

Silas had always unconsciously imagined dragons to be omnipotent, and Sarannar felt compelled to remind him that even if a dragon was as powerful as Ham in the story, one could fight a hundred without one not paying attention. And still die.

"Okay, let's go back to the topic just now." Silas said, "That is to say, next four dragons will join the Dragon Peak? Will Jontaka agree?"

"What can I do if I refuse? Who can stop the dragon who wants to move. Chontaka, who has lost its air defense force, can't resist the attack of the orcs at all, so the surrounding countries have decided to help them." Salanar paused After a while, he turned to Silas and asked, "Do you know why?"

"Well...they are all human nations, and only by uniting and helping each other can we better beat those green-skinned savages back to their hometowns, isn't that right?" Silas said uncertainly.

"No, it's not like that." Sarannar said, "Maybe it's like that on the surface, but in fact it's because of the rumors from the Chontaka that they're going to surrender to the orcs."

"...How could they do this?!" Silas was stunned.

"Why not? It's better to be a slave to the orcs than to be slaughtered. Isn't it because of this extraordinary adaptability that humans have become such a huge ethnic group?" Sarannar said, "Of course other countries I don't want to see this scene. If the orcs take down the Jontaka country without bloodshed, they can directly attack Testara and several small countries around it, which also have no air defense force, and then attack Andor from three sides. West Asia. Even if our Dragon Clan has the ability to completely suppress the Eagle Knight’s air attack, we still cannot stop the massive ground troops. If these three big countries fall, what forces in the entire continent can compete with the orcs?”

"So, although the final result is that everyone chooses unity and cooperation, in fact every country starts out for its own interests?"

"That's right. Slogans like glory, mission, and friendship are just lip service, and interests are the key to deciding whether to divide or join." Saranar was very satisfied with Silas' understanding, and he continued Said, "Negotiations to form an alliance will be held in Silver Stream City recently, and it is agreed that each country will either send troops or money to jointly resist the invasion of the orcs."

"No wonder, the martial law in the whole city has become stronger recently." Silas finally knew what was going on with the strange atmosphere of "the rain is about to come and the building is full of wind" recently.

"Dragon Peak is the most important air defense force in this alliance. As the leader of the dragon knights of Dragon Peak, there will be many scenes that require you to attend in the future. Politics is an unpredictable game with many hidden rules You need to learn, although your current status is just a decoration, but the political structure of mankind has been changing over the years, and what you will be in the future depends entirely on yourself." Sarannar looked at it calmly with golden eyes He said, "To survive in this crisis-ridden world, strength is essential, but strength alone is not enough. No matter how strong a person who does not think is strong, he can only become someone else's pawn. Only by learning to think can he decide the direction of the game. "

"You suddenly said that, I... I'm not sure if I can satisfy you." The black dragon's gaze made Silas feel unprecedented pressure.

Saranar smiled gently: "Do your best to learn, maybe you will prefer to be a pawn without thinking, but I still hope that you can become someone who can stand by my side and assist me."

It was the first time that Salanar had given him such a heavy responsibility, and Silas could only grit his teeth: "Okay... I will definitely do my best."

"I believe you won't let me down." Sarannar smiled, "Let's talk about why you mentioned your friend Alista just now, I have already got the news in advance, this time Tesdarra sent over to discuss He is the emissary for league matters."

"...he dares to throw himself into the trap?" Silas couldn't believe it, "Isn't he afraid of being arrested by us?"

"Why didn't he dare? After all, the 'Dragon Egg' was in his hands, and the dragon clan dared not do anything to him. Although Anduoxia knew he was the one who stole the dragon egg, he could only admit that he was unlucky. Kill the heir to the throne of Testara for a few dragon eggs that won't come back anyway."

"He... you said he was..." Silas was stunned.

"It's surprising. I was also surprised when I first heard the news." Sarannar said, "The identity he used before was the son of a merchant, and merchants always have reasons to travel around, so those who have legal The 'family' of the identity disappeared without a trace as soon as they succeeded. The military intelligence department in Andocia was a bunch of idiots and useless until Alistar defeated his The older brothers became the final heirs to the throne, and publicly announced that they risked their lives to steal the dragon eggs, so they knew he was a prince."

"...He is really... bold." Silas was speechless.

"I've seen it for a long time. This person's courage is really extraordinary. Maybe it's because I gave him the dragon protein. He is sure that the dragon clan will not care about this matter with him, so he dared to admit it so blatantly." Right." Sarannar pushed his chin and showed an interested smile, "I'm looking forward to meeting him again, I don't know what kind of surprise this young man will bring me?"

Silas looked at him depressedly: "Are you regretting that you chose the wrong knight?"

"Of course not." The elegant humanoid black dragon calmly squeezed Silas's butt in this small garden where no one saw it, "I'm very glad that I chose the wrong person at that time."

The old king of Testara, who was lingering and sick, was not a good and wise monarch. It was generally believed that the only thing he was better than King Heather was his ability to give birth.

King Heather only has one son, Alion, but Testara is a polygamous country. The old king has countless wives and concubines, and he is romantic by nature. Not to mention those illegitimate children who are scattered among the people and have doubtful blood, they are just registered official sons. There are as many as eighteen, not to mention daughters.

This directly led to the fact that when his health was about to fail, his sons fought to the death for the position of prince, and even used such extreme methods as colluding with orcs.

But no one expected that at the last moment, Alista, a young dark horse, would be able to defeat the helpless brothers with thunderous means and win the final victory.

King Heather found that after the Dragon Clan knew the whereabouts of the dragon eggs, not only did they not go into a rage and prepare to go into Testara to get back the eggs, but they calmed down, as if they had secretly reached an agreement with Testara. This made his nerves tense a lot.

But no matter what, the whole orc clan is ready to move now, and the formation of an alliance is imminent, and he has not received support from the dragon clan, so he can't tear himself apart from Testara, so he had to ask someone to reveal the wanted notices pasted all over the street. , smiling as if nothing had happened to greet the envoys from Testara.

Silas saw his friend "The Hills" again just before the league meeting in Silver Creek.

I haven't seen him for nearly two years. Alista's appearance has changed a lot. He cut his golden hair short and wore an exquisite Testara-style dress. The heir to the throne of the Eight Classics, doesn't look like the candidate dragon knight back then.

When he stepped into the Platinum Hall of Silverbrook City with two servants, he immediately attracted the attention of many people. He seemed to have not seen Silas who accompanied Sarannar at all, but only looked at the Dragon Clan. The leader greeted: "Master Sarannar, it's an honor to see you again."

"I didn't expect that we would meet again under such circumstances." Sarannar said with a smile, "How are the dragon eggs?"
