The Great Battle to Beat Up Lance

Assisting the lord of Peacock City in suppressing a red dragon is something that can be discussed. The battle between heroes and evil dragons is a topic that remains highly relevant in the human world.

The residents of Peacock City must also be curious to know whether the legendary hero or the legendary evil dragon is more powerful.

The evil dragon is not scary; what we need to be wary of is the Peacock City Lord before us.

If she changes her mind later, it will be a little troublesome for him, since the Peacock City Lord has not harmed or mistreated Venus, but simply kept Venus by his side.

It's not advisable to use forceful methods to deal with this city lord.

"Tell me first what the original price was for the jewelry and pendants that Venus damaged."

"These are priceless treasures to me, because I personally crafted or designed those jewelry pieces and pendants. However, since I promised to give you the original price, I will not go back on my word: 30,000 gold coins."

"Compensate me 30,000 gold coins, plus the condition I just mentioned. Of course, if you are injured in the battle with the red dragon, the 30,000 gold coins will be reduced depending on the severity of your injuries. In other words, if you are injured, I will cover your medical expenses."

A hint of seriousness appeared in Leige's golden eyes.

The city lord of Peacock City said that if they were to face the red dragon, they might get injured.

What does this mean? It means that the red dragon mentioned by the Peacock City Lord may be stronger than he imagined.

The most obvious example is that the Peacock City Lord couldn't defeat the red dragon.

If she could defeat that red dragon, she wouldn't have invited him to help her.

Red Dragon is very strong.

They are at risk of injury.

The original price can be converted into medical expenses.

Leige started scratching his brow with his right hand again. He was wondering if he should deliberately get injured when fighting the red dragon.

Thirty thousand gold coins.

It's a huge sum of money.

Despite saving money for so long, he only had a little over 10,000 gold coins in savings.

If all this money were to be paid to the Peacock City Lord, he would probably have to endure hardship and destitution for some time to come.

During his ascetic practice, he did not mind eating and sleeping outdoors.

When he wasn't practicing asceticism, he enjoyed living a high-quality life.

My former teammate Lance was someone who really knew how to enjoy life.

Under his influence, he gradually became the person he is today.

Lance once said that when experiencing suffering, one should fully enjoy it.

When enjoying life, indulge in the most luxurious things; there's no need to feel guilty.

If you can endure hardship, you should also know how to enjoy life.

Wouldn't it be better to use the 30,000 gold coins as compensation to treat Venus and Amelia to a meal?

Why be foolish enough to give everything to the Peacock City Lord? "I agree to your proposal. Let's sign a contract. Let's be cautious from the start and settle things later. With a contract in place, we can both feel at ease."

"Yes, but you can't deliberately lose to the Red Dragon or be seriously injured by it. If you cheat, the compensation will be doubled, turning 30,000 gold coins into 60,000 gold coins."

Leige's smile froze for a moment. Damn it, how could the city lord of Peacock City have thought of this?

"No, no, I'm not that kind of person."

Aroman smiled. "As long as they're not the kind of people I'm talking about, that's fine. I like to be friends with honest humans. I don't like humans who are too cunning. That's also written in the contract."

No matter how cunning and treacherous you are, you can't compare to that damned red dragon.

The suffering she endured at the hands of the Red Dragon was as numerous as the dragon scales on its body. One should never harbor malicious intentions.

One should always be wary of others.

The red dragon is no good, and this human hero in front of me doesn't seem like a good person either.

The contract was a verbal agreement.

At their level, even verbal agreements have a certain degree of binding force.

Unless there are special circumstances, the terms of the contract will not be violated for such a small amount of profit.

"Peacock City, is there a missing clause in the contract?"

"No."

"It's missing. The contract doesn't include Amelia, only Venus. You released Venus but kept Amelia, which constitutes fraud."

"You're overthinking it. Your elf teammate Amelia isn't under my jurisdiction. She was spying in the Myriad Forms City of Myriad Forms City Lord's daughter. She was arrested by the Myriad Forms City Lord and is now under the jurisdiction of the Myriad Forms City Lord of Myriad Things."

However, the city lord of Myriad Forms City handed over the power to dispose of her to the red dragon yesterday. If you want to take this elf away, you'll have to ask the red dragon if he agrees.

If he agrees, you can take the elf with you.

"."

Leige was speechless. His two teammates had become prey for the two city lords of the Dragon Domain. With Iliya's addition, his Radiant Sun Squad was practically crippled.

He was the only one left, the squad leader, struggling to keep going.

"It's the red dragon you mentioned before."

"Yes, it's him."

"Then I wish us a pleasant cooperation in advance."

"I hope you live up to the word 'strongest' that Venus spoke of."

"???"

He still has a long way to go before becoming the strongest.

A few minutes later, Wanxiang, the city lord of Myriad Forms City, appeared in the city lord's hall. When he saw Leige, he swung his elephant trunk, exuding the aura of a powerful figure, and his body also faintly radiated a wisp of divinity.

Half-Step God.

The elf wasn't boasting.

This human named Leige is almost a god, if not Half-Step God.

They have all developed divinity, so the chances of them igniting Divine Fire are relatively high.

Once the Divine Fire is ignited, one becomes a minor deity.

Against the strongest beings in the human world, they can be easily defeated.

If they were to face those exceptionally talented individuals with high divine status who had comprehended the power of laws ahead of time but had not yet ignited their Divine Fire...

The one who might get beaten up is the minor god.

There are many ridiculously powerful beings in the human world who can defeat gods with human bodies; this happens every now and then.

Sending that elf to Peacock City and handing it over to the red dragon Lance was definitely the right thing to do.

"Wanxiang, I would like to invite you to join the team that is going to kill the Red Dragon."

Just the two of us?

"There's also the Snow Woman, the Fire Bear, and that butterfly from the Ten Thousand Flowers Garden, plus this human, Leige. You probably don't want to miss this chance to beat up the Red Dragon, right? In a one-on-one fight, we are definitely no match for that Red Dragon, but with the addition of us city lords and the strongest hero in the human world, we are more than capable of defeating that Red Dragon."

"???"

Good heavens, joining forces with the powerful beings of the human world to attack the red dragon Lance is an act that was previously considered "treason."

The city lords of the Dragon Domain rarely join forces with powerful figures from the human world.

Their fighting and killing is a matter between their Source Beast and has nothing to do with the strong people of the human world.

The powerful figures of the human world intervened in the conflict between their Source Beast. Other city lords were unaware of this, but any [Emperor-level] Source Beast city lord who had any dealings with the red dragon Lance would immediately cease hostilities and join forces to attack the powerful figures of the human world.

"Is Aroman really planning to take this opportunity to kill the red dragon Lance?" "Don't worry, I have no intention of killing the red dragon. I just want that red dragon to experience what it's like to be ganged up on."

"If that's what you mean, then I'll naturally join the team to defeat the red dragon. To be honest, I've wanted to slay that red dragon for a long time."

Something felt off; their original goal was to get compensation from Venus and the elf Amelia's teammates.

The result has now become a campaign to defeat the red dragon Lance.

This truly proves what the Red Dragon Lance said, "Plans can't keep up with changes."

However, it's really hard for Lance to refuse a group fight against the Red Lance; the temptation is just too great.

For a period of time, he dreamed every night that he was standing on the back of the red dragon Lance, and that Lance was carrying him and flying. But Lance could never fly, and in his dreams, Lance was too useless.

When will the Snow Woman, Butterfly, and Fire Bear arrive?

"It'll be soon. We can go to the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion and ambush Red Dragon Lance. He'll be here soon."

"Aren't you afraid that if a fight breaks out, they'll tear down your Peacock City?"

"The teleportation array is ready. I will activate it the moment the red dragon appears, and it will teleport us to the [Western Wilderness Ancient Battlefield]."

Go to the Western Wilderness Ancient Battlefield and gang up on the Red Dragon Lance, no problem.

Legend has it that the Western Wilderness Ancient Battlefield was once a fighting arena used by the dragon race. The place is very hard and cannot be broken.

Even if some buildings are destroyed, they will automatically be restored after a period of time.

In that place, these city lords could freely gang up on the red dragon.

Aroman, who was sitting on the throne, got up, left the hall, and walked towards the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Venus Amelia, whose personal freedom was not restricted, walked to Leige's side and greeted Leige with a smile.

They contact each other occasionally, but don't meet up often.

Fortunately, their friendship did not fade with time.

"Have you dealt with the demons?"

"No, after I finish dealing with things here, I still need to go back and continue tracking those demons to see what they're up to. Those demons are all quite powerful."

"We'll come and help you then."

"It depends."

After chatting for a few minutes, Leige followed Aroman and Wanxiang out of the hall.

He became somewhat interested in the red dragon that the Peacock City Lord had mentioned.

What exactly did that red dragon do to these city lords to make them hate him so much?

The fact that several city lords joined forces to attack it suggests that the red dragon must be a pure-blooded red dragon.

If the pure-blooded red dragon could defeat the red dragon decisively with his own strength, the red dragon might be inclined to follow him.

Pure-Blooded Dragon are very intelligent; they like to invest in human powerhouses with potential.

Does he refuse the red dragon's offer to follow him, or does he agree to let the red dragon follow him?

Having a reasonably strong immortal being as a companion seems like a good thing.

Fine, I'll give Red Dragon a chance to be his partner.

As soon as he arrived at the main gate of the City Lord's Mansion, Leige saw a girl dressed entirely in white, exuding a chilling aura, standing in the square not far ahead.

Snow Woman.

Snowflakes were falling within a few meters of the Snow Woman.

Besides the Snow Woman, Leige also saw a fire bear that was less than three meters tall.

These two are also city lords, and they are both quite powerful.

I was a bit too confident before.

These city lords are all working together against him. Even if he can pull them into his domain, he probably won't be able to defeat them in a short time.

"He's here, he's here."

Amelia's voice reached Leige's ears.

He saw it; it was a dragon-man.

It has a dragon's head, body, and claws, walks upright, and has a pair of short, fiery red wings on its back.

"Red Dragon Lance!"

"???"

Leige thought he had misheard. He picked at his ear and turned to look at Amelia: "Lance? You just mentioned Lance? The Lance I know?"

"Not that conman Lance, I'm talking about Red Dragon Lance. The dragonman who's stuffing an apple into his mouth is the red dragon Aroman was talking about. His name is Lance, the same name as that conman Lance from our Radiant Sun Squad."

Red Dragon Lance?

Lance conman?

Why did Amelia suddenly change how she addressed Lance? When they talked to him via projection before, they rarely mentioned Lance, not because they had forgotten about Lance as a teammate.

They simply didn't want to face the horrific way Lance died back then.

Sacrificing oneself as a form of death is far too gruesome.

Venus glanced at Amelia, and judging from Leige's reaction, Amelia probably hadn't told Leige that Lance was still alive.

She didn't say that Amelia told her not to tell Leige, saying she wanted to give Leige a surprise.

The intention was to give Leige a surprise, but in reality, Lance wanted to give Leige a shock.

Lance is also a domain-level powerhouse.

It was still the Evil Dragon Sword Ancestor.

Lance saw Leige, glanced at Leige, and then his gaze fell on the city lords Aroman, Wanxiang, Snow Woman, and Huo Xiong.

Aroman is very clever; he knows to call Snow Woman and Fire Bear to Peacock City to help her hold the line.

"It's been a long time since I've seen the Snow Woman."

"Don't talk to me, I don't know you." The Snow Woman's voice was cold and devoid of warmth, and the snowflakes falling within a few meters of her turned into ice crystals.

My emotions fluctuated quite a bit.

"Fire Bear, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, Red Dragon."

"Your fur looks even better now, and it looks so soft and silky. Such beautiful fur is perfect for making bedding."

"Get lost, or I'll force you to activate my Behemoth bloodline and bite you to death."

I haven't heard of Behemoth in a long time; it's a mythical creature that went extinct for countless millennia.

Before the Behemoths became extinct, Pure-Blooded Dragon might have been on their menu.

It is said that the blood of Behemoth flows in the veins of giants, and the stronger the giant, the more likely he is to activate the Behemoth bloodline and become a legendary mythical creature.

After glancing at the fire bear, Lance slowly walked up to Venus, Amelia, Leige and the others.

Teammates from over a thousand years ago have reunited.

"Human, tell me your name."

"Leige".

"Half-Step God, Leige?"

Leige's lips twitched slightly. These city lords of the Dragon Domain all knew that he was a [Half-Step God].

"Elf, is someone missing? Where is that domain expert you mentioned? Did he come and hide, or was he too afraid to come?"

Amelia has spread the word about the entire area?

Leige covered his face with his hands, knowing he would have to tell Amelia later that she couldn't let her continue promoting herself like this.

If this kind of publicity continues, the powerful figures in the human world will probably all know that he has opened up a domain and is also Half-Step God.

This might put him at a slight disadvantage in a fight.

"You've publicized everything about how I've pioneered this field. Don't do that again next time; let's keep a low profile."

Amelia remained silent. Apart from telling the conman Lance and Venus that Leige had created a domain, she never publicly announced that Leige had created a domain.

"You're not the Half-Step God Leige? When did you become a domain-level powerhouse? The domain-level powerhouse the elves talk about isn't called Leige, it's called the liar Lance."
