By the time dawn broke on December 2, Landen had completed all the surgeries and treatments and returned to Night-Kirin City. The fighting at sea had been far more brutal than he had imagined. Neither the merfolk nor the sea beastmen had spared their enemies.
More than a dozen High-Ranks from the Merfolk had been nearly torn to pieces by the Sea Beastmen, making it extremely difficult to extract the special jellyfish from their bodies.
Before noon, Landen received a visit from McLaren Blue Dragon. The National Pillar should have been in the Royal Capital, preparing for the annual Red-Dragon Literature Award, but he said he had other arrangements this time.
"The war in the Ice Sea has become urgent. Red Dragon Rock wants to send some Legends to the front lines in the Ice Sea to bolster our forces. I'll be taking the Blue Dragon Family's main High-Ranks to Breyak."
"We won't be directly joining the fighting, but we'll keep watch over the land around Breyak so the Sea Beastmen can commit more forces elsewhere." As soon as they met, McLaren got straight to the point. "Gleia is already in the Basin. Her two older brothers and several High-Ranks from the Blue Dragon School will be going with me."
The Legend Knight's words suddenly reminded Landen of something. The Flying Dragon, Blue Lion, and Elk families were now openly trying to amend the laws of royal succession to prevent Richie Red Dragon from inheriting the throne.
At such a critical moment, the Blue Dragon Family's National Pillar, a Legend, was taking its main High-Ranks to the battlefield. Wasn't that an obvious attempt to stay out of the fray and keep clear of the dispute?
Without the Blue Dragon Family, the remaining Red-Dragon Legends were mere spectators in this conflict,
