This is the most vulnerable time for the human faction.
The destruction of the Round Tower Notes has caused Chief Lak to work non-stop for far too long. The Ice Saintess Lena was severely injured and suffered a backlash that rendered her powerless. Moreover, the title of her own sister, the Holy Princess, was completely fabricated. The demons were well aware of this.
Previously, he had been wondering why the Demon King's army hadn't launched a full-scale attack on the border despite having such a significant advantage.
Only today did he realize that the demons relied on a method even more powerful than war: that elusive and terrifying traitor!
Thanks to the instigation of that traitor, and without even the pressure from the front lines, the demons nearly provoked the Frost Dragon King's wrath, almost plunging the entire Kingdom of Kur into utter destruction!
Ota had to admit that he couldn't find the mole in a short time, and in such a passive situation... who knew what kind of trouble that mole might cause next?! This terrifying landslide that almost caused a disaster was most likely caused by the other party!
They no longer had the energy to resist the demons' unpredictable and deadly ambushes.
Therefore, even if he knew it was a pipe dream, he would try to get all the help he could!
Once the dragon riders, composed of dragons, join the front lines, it will be enough to reverse the balance of the war against the demons.
Even from a strategic point of view, the existence of the dragon riders is more threatening than Mino, the strongest hero in human history. Once they are deployed to the battlefield, the demons will surely be in a lot of trouble for a while!
Before Callest's gaze completely faded, Otto gritted his teeth and decided to gamble on the knowledge and analysis of the great scholar, Astrid, who was incredibly loyal to the kingdom and devoted himself to his work!
"This is actually... a revelation from the Goddess!"
With a forced smile, Ota was about to fabricate something when he said, "King Callest, you know, our human kingdom has a sacred place where we can establish some connection with the goddess..."
“Your Majesty?!” Callest interrupted Ota in surprise.
The chill dissipated, and it abruptly turned its head.
Callest didn't question Ota's idea at all. Instead, he immediately looked at Princess Kalia, who was dressed in a white dress, and asked curiously:
"Is this true, Your Highness?"
There was little doubt or disbelief in Callest's eyes; rather, it seemed like a cautious search for confirmation.
Otta was taken aback by Callest's sudden change in attitude, then recalled the explanation given by the scholar Astrid, and was secretly excited:
"It seems that dragons are indeed easily swayed when it comes to goddesses—Calester didn't even ask me to provide any physical evidence?"
Neither Kalia nor Ota saw the fleeting phantom above Kalia's head.
Kalia stood there, stunned. To be honest, she still didn't understand what had happened today. She had even mustered up the courage to stand up for Mino's brother, Callest, several times before, but her brother Ota, who knew her so well, stopped her with a look... as if he had other plans.
Now, faced with this unexpected situation, how should I respond?
Kalia hesitated for a moment before speaking, then said, "I..."
There was a flash of light.
"I see."
Callest nodded slightly, as if he had an answer.
"You mean that although the dragon race has no need to get involved in the struggle between humans and demons, and the humans are simply asking for my help, they are pleased that I was able to put aside my previous grudges and establish a harmonious relationship with them, but they still respect my own thoughts. So whether or not I assist the humans this time is entirely up to my inner choice, and I will not interfere. Everything is up to me to decide... is that right?"
"Huh?" Kalia was stunned, somewhat bewildered: Did she just say that much?
Although she didn't know how Callest interpreted it, it was pretty much the same as what she was thinking. Slightly relieved, Kalia pursed her lips and said, "That's right."
“You don’t have to force yourself, Callest.”
"After all, even with the help of the dragons, we might not be able to break through the demons' defenses and capture Brother Mino..."
“I agree!” Callest replied suddenly, full of enthusiasm.
"Eh?!"
Kalia looked up in surprise and saw a flickering flame in Callest's eyes.
I almost forgot... As long as we help humans keep putting pressure on the demons, we can gradually shrink the demons' territory. At that time, we can easily use human power to break down the gates of the Demon King's castle and get that Mino thing out of its shell!
Moreover, as dragons soaring through the sky, the demons have very few means to harm them. This is why he and the Fire Dragon Queen were so generous in lending humans a batch of dragons during the last contract.
"I will send my most elite superior dragons to form a dragon cavalry with you, and make the demons pay a heavy price!" Calest said firmly.
Ota's body swayed involuntarily, as if a huge gift had been thrown at his head. He never expected the Frost Dragon King to agree so easily, especially with the assistance of the most powerful superior dragon!
For a moment, Ota suddenly felt that... the anti-Mino alliance wasn't entirely unacceptable?
Looking around nervously, Ota secretly rubbed his hands together and muttered to himself, "Mino, just bear with it a little longer, lie low for a while longer... maybe he can even borrow two Dragon Kings and rescue you then!"
As for what to do after they're rescued... well, good luck to them.
Looking up, Ota saw Callest's increasingly excited expression and knew that this cooperation was almost certainly going to succeed.
Ota frowned, but he felt that everyone present, including himself and even the Frost Dragon King, seemed to have forgotten something.
Dragons, contracts, dragon riders, and the final protagonist of this farce—Ota's eyes widened as he finally remembered—
The frosty air temperature was gone, and a barely perceptible heat gradually rose up.
It is rare to see a dragon with a "pale face".
But he saw it today.
As the increasingly intense heat rose up, Callest's body suddenly stiffened on the spot, his head tilted slightly upwards, and countless human gazes followed, looking with slight fear at the fiery red dragon shadow in the sky that resembled a second sun!
The frost on the armor of the Knights Commander Erwin melted instantly. He was covered in sweat as he activated his divine power to protect his body, while the iron armor showed signs of melting.
His throat felt slightly dry. Looking up at the blazing sun in the sky, he swallowed hard and said:
"Fire Dragon Queen, Ignis—"
As the blazing sun descended from the sky, a colossal fire dragon, its entire body crimson, its scales appearing as if soaked in the lava of a volcano, and only slightly smaller than Calester, descended upon the arena…
Chapter 127 Is it true that you can watch Dragon Films on the spot?
"Fire Dragon Queen...!"
When Ota saw the terrifying dragon bathed in flames, his eyelids twitched immediately.
Although Calest has always been known as the "Frostbite Tyrant" by outsiders, those who have met him know that Calest's attitude towards humans is relatively mild among the dragons.
The real problem is... this arrogant fire dragon queen in front of us, the berserk fire dragon who didn't even give Mino a friendly look back then!
Legend has it that a tribe of dwarves living on the edge of a volcano were reduced to ashes overnight by Ignis simply for polluting the air there! They had no concept of mercy and no patience for human explanations… What should be done now?
Ota felt like he was on a rollercoaster, the fluctuating situation almost overwhelming him, but he still had to maintain proper etiquette, so he steeled himself and walked up to Ignis:
"It's been a long time... Fire Dragon Queen, Lady Ignis."
"Hmph." A few fiery flames shot from her nostrils, and the Fire Dragon Queen's dark golden eyes filled with impatience. After surveying the arena, Ignis uttered a questioning tone:
"Human King, what... happened here?"
"Why can't I sense that contract anymore?"
Ignis sensed the fluctuations in the air with suspicion, and after failing to locate the contract, his expression gradually turned cold.
"Where did you hide the contract?"
"Uh……"
Sweat beaded on Ota's forehead. He was about to explain when Ignis impatiently urged, "Simply put it, hurry up, or... I'll blow you to death with a breath of steam!!!"
"That...that contract...it's been destroyed." Ota could only say helplessly, looking at Erwin who was about to send a message to burn down his study.
“Destroyed…” Ignis’s pupils froze slightly.
Soon, the Fire Dragon Queen's dark golden pupils were filled with intense emotions, and her voice rose and fell sharply:
"You...you did...what..."
The air in the room suddenly began to distort and twist as the temperature soared, as if boiling water were being heated!
Oops!
Ota's heart sank to the bottom. Ignis's reaction was exactly as he expected; the other party was truly angry this time... What to do? Should he frame Mino again?
Or... this time we could make up a lie that Mino has married a demon and had a child. I've heard that women love gossip, right?
No, the key issue is that the other party doesn't have the patience to listen either!
Ota felt frustrated and shaken.
Having just escaped Callest's frost, are they now facing Ignis's wrath?
A tremendous pressure suddenly descended upon him. Ota, drenched in sweat, hurriedly explained, "Fire Dragon Queen, please calm your anger, we..."
"Good news..."
Ota took a few steps forward, and Ignis's excited words suddenly reached his ears.
"What?" Ota was a little confused.
Then, the fire dragon queen, her anger rising, excitedly spread her wings and let out a joyful sound:
"What a wonderful thing you've done! This is absolutely amazing!!!"
what? !
The crowd's minds went blank for a moment. If it weren't for the silence in the arena where only Ignis's voice could be heard, they would have thought they were hallucinating because of the intense heat.
Only the dragon in the arena, Callest, who had almost slipped away by quietly walking to the side of the mountain road, shivered.
Turning his head, as expected, Callest was horrified to find Ignis's eager gaze fixed on him, as if he were a treasure he had been hoarding for a long time!
Looking at the Frost Dragon King Calest, the Fire Dragon Queen Ignis spoke with unprecedented pleasure:
"At first I didn't expect Callest to actually find a suitable witness, so I just casually agreed to the divorce. I never thought it would actually come to fruition... A year has passed, and now I get furious just thinking about that contract!"
Ignis casually flapped his wings and spoke to everyone present without any hesitation:
"I was planning to burn the contract when you brought it out today, but now... you've gone to such lengths to destroy it and please me."
"Human king, you have successfully caught my attention..."
"Ignis! I knew you were going to cheat?!"
Behind him, Callest realized what was happening, his eyes widening in shock, and he exclaimed with a pained expression, "Don't you feel any remorse for doing this?!"
"No dragon scale on my body dares to defy me."
Ignis's fiery eyes fixed on the other, and he said domineeringly, "No matter what, the contract is now null and void, so—you belong to me, right?"
"Hey! Wait a minute! You can't be serious?!"
