This is indeed the case, and even Luokenuosuos i had to admit it.
The Yellow Dragon, living in the desert, is not a powerful subspecies of dragon, but as an independent race, its Authority is almost entirely focused on survival.
Judging from what this " Son of God " said, could he possibly have a better solution?
Even so, what insightful opinion do you have?
Luokenuosuos i asked in a calm tone, with earnest intent.
Have you received any strange reports lately, like something the size of a house appearing in the desert and moving around?
"Um?"
Luokenuosuos i paused for a moment, then showed a surprised expression:
Did you do this?!
"Many of my generals have reported that they recently saw a small, mobile fortress in their jurisdiction. It observes the outcome of the battle at the edge of the battlefield, and after the fighting is over, it automatically goes down to sort the corpses."
"Besides, some people said that the thing could play strange music. Although the soldiers on both sides couldn't understand what it was singing, the effect was surprisingly good."
"You made this too?"
Has [ King of Fall Resistance, I Guess ] become this wild now? I only knew that after it broke through the Holy City, it started heading south, stopping and starting, but I never expected it to have become like this.
Ed resisted the urge to wipe his sweat and nodded with great difficulty:
"Another inch."
"Okay, I think I understand."
Luokenuosuos i seemed thoughtful:
"You mean, I can borrow this kind of thing to transport military supplies?"
"Yes."
Ed smiled confidently.
"What you see is just a small fortress. If it were a large fortress, it could transport all the supplies needed for thousands of people for ten days at once."
"As for water... you'll have to figure that out yourself. As a Green Dragon who also holds the Authority of Yellow Dragon, you shouldn't be unable to create even a small oasis, right?"
Luokenuosuos i nodded firmly:
"It's not difficult."
He truly hadn't expected that Ed would project his consciousness to help him this time.
Indeed, aside from his desire to kill the descendant of the Red Dragon, there were no other conflicts between them.
From the perspective of the dragons, at least, such cooperation is entirely possible—I only want to kill your friend, which will not affect our deal.
"So, what is the price?"
Loxor knew that every gift came at a price, so he decided to ask about the key points before formally agreeing.
He thought for a moment and then added:
"If it concerns the descendants of the Red Dragon, there's no need to discuss it. Let the Dragon Clan handle its own affairs; that's a matter of respect for us."
"I would say the same thing even if the Tree God were to my face."
Ed nodded in strong agreement:
I have no objection.
"In fact, that's what Seraphina meant too; she sealed herself off and tried to find a new path that belonged only to her."
"In short, I will not interfere in the internal struggles of the Dragon Clan—since you insist on bringing out a Transcendent Tier, then so be it."
"I just hope your deaths won't be used against you."
"Um?"
Loxor was surprised again:
"Profit from death? You mean, is there someone who profits from our deaths?"
Ed nodded and said:
"I can't disclose the specifics, but if it really gets involved, none of you three dragons will survive."
Loxor frowned slightly, then relaxed:
"If I die in battle, then there's nothing more to say. But if I don't die, then I will be the first Transcendent Tier being in this world!"
Who else can defeat me?
Ed shook his head:
"The mechanism is strange; you wouldn't understand."
"For us, death is merely a means, but for it, death is the end itself."
Loxor didn't understand, but seeing Ed's expression, he asked again:
"Since you've put it that way, there must be a solution?"
"There's a way."
Ed gave an affirmative answer:
"And that's exactly what I need your approval for--"
"Now there are only three dragons left. I don't care if you want one-on-one, one-on-two, or one-on-one, as long as there's a fight, I'm going to watch."
"I will not interfere in the war; you can completely ignore me, but I must be present."
"In short, this is my only condition."
Loxor pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized:
You're fishing!
"You intend to use our conflict to lure out that guy you mentioned who can manipulate death!"
"Then is he your enemy?"
"Not exactly an enemy, but certainly a foe..."
Ed sighed:
"So, Loxor, do you agree?"
The Green Dragon remained silent for a few moments before suddenly saying:
Did Seraphina agree?
"She'll agree."
"Then Aeldra definitely didn't agree, right?"
"Yes, but if you agree, I'll have two votes. Does his opinion still matter?"
"Too."
Loxor looked at Ed and said:
"Deal made. You can prepare to deploy those mobile fortresses."
Ed nodded slightly, then his consciousness left his body, and control of the body returned to [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ].
The player, having regained control of his body, saluted the Imperial Marshal.
"I have finished reporting. If you have nothing else to say..."
Loxor waved his hand:
"Go back, just like before. I don't care where you go, if there's any news..."
You can also choose not to report.
The Green Dragon whispered:
"But your visit this time has indeed been very valuable."
I will reconsider my assessment of you.
[ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] bid farewell to Loxor and returned to Riel Valley, which had now become a territory under imperial control, carrying the handwritten letter from the Imperial Marshal.
Even with its stamina far exceeding Hoofed Beast of ordinary creatures, the [ Great Wei Boxing Champion ] still took a full day to make the round trip.
During this time, Alfonso was constantly uneasy, worried that he would be reprimanded by the Marshal.
Therefore, apart from forcing a smile and having a few drinks during the victory celebration after capturing the fortress, he neither ate nor drank, focusing solely on awaiting his own "judgment."
Finally, just as he felt he was about to fall into a coma, [ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ] returned with the marshal's letter, conveying Luokenuosuos i's decision regarding Alfonso.
"So, Marshal, you mean you won't hold it against me for deploying troops without authorization?"
"Yes, but he still can't openly encourage this behavior, so you need to achieve more merits in the upcoming battles to combine the rewards."
[ The Great Wei Boxing Champion ], like an ancient eunuch from another world, earnestly explained the superior's meaning (pie in the sky) after reading the imperial edict:
"The Marshal has promised that if you win just one more time, you will become a true commander of ten thousand!"
