The New War God
So, what can I do?
After finishing a cup of hot tea, Sang Ying, having heard all the inside stories from the old man, asked in a deep voice.
Her attitude, as if she were taking on responsibility, comforted the old man considerably, "Now that you have the Dragon Abyss Sword, my Azure Dragon Clan is willing to follow your orders during this period. When the Gods and Devils Battlefield descends into chaos again, I'm afraid we'll need you to lead the troops into battle."
The old man was very frank, revealing his and Patriarch Qing's previous plans in detail.
Sang Ying hesitated for a moment, not immediately agreeing. After all, leading troops was no small matter; she had only led a small squad before, and leading hundreds or thousands of Dragon Race was a completely different story.
Sensing Sang Ying's hesitation, the Azure Patriarch Qing immediately said, "This is a matter of life and death for our Dragon Race. If something happens on the Gods and Devils Battlefield, none of us will escape. If you agree to this, I will help you negotiate not only with our Azure Dragon Clan, but also with the other Dragon Race, making them all follow your arrangements!"
Patriarch Qing was also an impatient person, and he wanted Sang Ying to agree immediately.
Sang Ying frowned, about to speak, when the courtyard gate was suddenly pushed open.
Outside the door, the steward, panting and looking flustered, exclaimed, "It's terrible, Chieftain! News just came from the Red Dragon Clan that the dragon bones they kept in the Chieftain's Mansion have disappeared! And the White Dragon Tribe and Black Dragon Clan have launched a full-scale attack on their territory. I'm afraid the White Dragon Tribe's Chieftain's Mansion will soon fall!"
"What?!" Patriarch Qing suddenly stood up, causing the teacup in front of him to fall to the ground.
"This is impossible! Although the Black Dragon Clan is strong, my clan is not bad either. How could they not even be able to defend the clan chief's mansion?" Sang Ying couldn't believe that the warriors she brought back couldn't even defend their own homeland.
The steward, sweating profusely, hurriedly explained, "The White Dragon Tribe warriors are certainly powerful, but Patriarch Bai just sent word that those Black Dragon Clan invaders are simply unkillable!"
The old man's gaze suddenly shot towards the butler, and the question that came out seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth, "What did you say? They can't be killed?"
The steward nodded repeatedly. "Not only are they unkillable, they're also impervious to pain! And what's even worse is that a squad of the Black Dragon Clan warriors is heading towards Jialan City!"
"I think we now roughly know who broke the seal." Sang Ying's tone was ethereal as she silently clenched her fists.
Sang Ying had no other choice but to consider the Black Dragon Clan Chief.
"What should we do now?" the butler asked hurriedly.
Sang Ying didn't answer. Instead, the old man said in a deep voice, "If I'm not mistaken, the Black Dragon Clan has now become a puppet of the Heaven Swallower and is no longer one of our own. Since they have so openly declared war, then our Dragon Race should naturally accept the challenge!"
"Immediately summon all the Dragon Race within Jialan City and tell those young lads that we must fight to the death for our race!"
Things have developed to this point, and there is no longer any room for the old man and the others to hide it.
They gathered everyone together and publicly announced the existence of the Devil Creature Heaven Swallower, telling them in detail about the experiences of the Red Dragon Clan and the White Dragon Tribe, without concealing the Black Dragon Clan's army that was attacking Jialan City.
"The thoughts of Devil Creature are beyond the comprehension of ordinary people. I believe in the loyalty of the Black Dragon Clan. It must be that demon that has controlled the Black Dragon Clan warriors, deliberately trying to incite infighting among us!"
After all, there are still several hundred young Black Dragon Clan warriors led by Xuan Jingshan in Jialan City. If the truth were revealed, it would likely cause unnecessary conflict.
The old man had to change his approach, planning to deal with the Black Dragon Clan's betrayal after resolving the matter of Heaven Swallower.
Such reassurance was clearly effective; Sang Ying saw that those who had previously cast wary glances at Xuan Jingshan's group had softened their attitude towards them again.
"Thousands of years ago, our ancestors sacrificed their blood to secure peace for the Dragon Race. Now, that Devil Creature has returned, but I believe that if our ancestors could seal it away, so can we! Therefore, sons of the Dragon Race, take up your weapons and fight for yourselves and your people!"
The old man truly lived up to his reputation as a former war god; he possessed a level of cohesion and persuasiveness that was difficult for others to match.
After a short speech, all the Dragon Race abandoned their previous prejudices and united against the common enemy. Their impassioned shouts could probably be heard clearly even outside Jialan City.
The pre-war mobilization has been completed; the next step is for each tribe to prepare for war.
Because Sang Ying was far too important, the old man dared not announce her to everyone in advance, intending to use her as a trump card.
Although she herself didn't understand why the other party trusted her so much, Sang Ying obediently followed the old man's instructions and returned to the post station to make some arrangements.
This time, Sang Ying brought more than 400 people with her, and she divided them into two groups. One group followed Bai Shou and took a detour back to support Patriarch Bai, while the other group followed her to resist the invading Black Dragon Clan.
Sang Ying did not intend to take Madam Lanxin away, but planned to leave her in the Qing Clan's chieftain's mansion to stay with the elder.
When Madam Lanxin learned of her plan, she resolutely refused. "Although I am not as powerful as you, I am still Dragon Race, and your mother. If you fight desperately at the front while I can only stay behind and live in fear, I would rather go with you to fight that Devil Creature!"
Madam Lanxin remained resolute, and even Sang Ying's attempts to persuade her could not change her mind.
Sang Ying had no choice but to agree, "Then, Mother, you must take good care of yourself!"
Madam Lanxin held her daughter's hand tightly and nodded heavily.
Besides Sang Ying, the other Dragon Race were also urgently making preparations for battle.
Hong Yan, Red Dragon Clan who shared an inn with them, had already learned about the dragon bones from her father, and even knew more clearly than the steward and the others.
It was the Black Dragon Clan Chief who brought a young junior to visit. Because the two families had a marriage agreement, the Patriarch Chi didn't think much of it and ordered his people to treat them well.
Unexpectedly, the young man, like a black mist, stormed into the Patriarch Hong's study and devoured all the dragon bones stored inside.
As he escaped, the black mist injured everyone who tried to stop him. The most seriously injured of them all was Patriarch Hong.
Hong Yan suppressed her anger and gathered everyone together.
Although some members of their Red Dragon Clan were injured, they had not yet been attacked, so Hong Yan led everyone to fight against the Black Dragon Clan.
Just as he was assembling his troops for departure, his younger sister Hong Miao, suddenly approached him. "Brother, I heard you're going to fight the Black Dragon Clan, right? Could you please show mercy and not hurt them?"
Hong Yan, who had initially felt a little happier seeing her younger sister come to show concern for her, instantly turned cold.
Do you know what you're saying?
