Chapter 413: Chapter 309: Start The Battle!
Since the day Long Yi was brought to the Black Dragon Empire, the diplomats of the White Dragon Empire began to battle with the diplomats of the Black Dragon Empire. As diplomats, their combat ability was not determined by their fists, but by their words. In this respect, the diplomat of the White Dragon Empire had an absolute advantage. He insulted the diplomat of the Black Dragon Empire in every possible way without using any profanity, from head to toe. The Black Dragon diplomat, who had once declared surrender weakly, retaliated without any hesitation.
In response to the accusation by the White Dragon Empire that the Black Dragon Empire had kidnapped Long Yi, the Black Dragon Empire vehemently denied any such occurrence. Even when Long Yi destroyed the secret factory of Undead Warriors in the Black Dragon Empire and escaped for thousands of miles, the Black Dragon Empire still denied it. Finally, when Long Yi was rescued from the Black Dragon Empire, they continued to deny!
According to the White Dragon Empire, the one who can serve as an official in the Black Dragon Empire is not the person who is smart, but the one with the thickest skin. Naturally, the Emperor has the thickest skin.
Facing such a completely uncommunicative opponent, the White Dragon diplomat finally lost his temper. He threw down his final words: "If no satisfactory answer is provided within three days, war will begin immediately!"
As for the threat of the White Dragon Empire, in fact, no one in the world took it seriously. Even when the White Dragon Empire positioned heavy troops in front and completed the first level of war readiness, still no one took this matter seriously. Although the national strength of the White Dragon Empire is stronger, their strength as the Dragon Knights, the hard indicator on the battlefield, was somewhat weaker than the Black Dragon Empire. This war was not worth the price.
Especially since the cause of the war was just for a single Long Yi.
Long Yi was important, everyone in the world knew that, but was he so important that they should go to war with the Black Dragons?
For the White Dragon to strike the Green Dragon for Long Yi was reasonable, as the Green Dragon was weak and there was tremendous imbalance in power. But this time was different, Black Dragon was stronger on the war front than the White Dragon!
In other words, unless the White Dragon suddenly pulls out a secret weapon, even if this war ends in victory, it would be a hard-won victory!
It isn’t worth it.
It just isn’t worth it no matter what.
But just when everyone was pondering on how the White Dragon Empire would back down, one dawn, marked by the collective advancement of the third Legion of the White Dragon Knights, the war began.
No one in the world, not even the Black Dragon Emperor, expected the war to start in this way.
The White Dragon Empire, would really start a war at this time, are they crazy?
The Black Dragon Empire had wanted to annihilate the White Dragon Empire for a long time, but it always suppressed this impulse. Why? The reason is the same as why the White Dragon Empire would not fight the Black Dragon Empire.
It’s not worth it.
War is always for interest. Although the White Dragon Empire and Black Dragon Empire are similar in strength, the military strength of the Black Dragon Empire slightly surpasses the White Dragon Empire. The blitzkrieg that the Black Dragon Empire launched did render the White Dragon Empire clueless. But it wasn’t an all-out war, it was just a hunt targeting Elsa, the top Dragon Knight of the White Dragon Empire. If they had been successful, it would’ve undoubtedly put the White Dragon Empire in an unprecedented passive situation.
But what they didn’t expect was that Elsa was actually the Princess of Heaven Realm. They had lost nine top-notch Dragon Knights who were carefully trained on their side. It didn’t matter, if they were able to make the first batch of Dragon Knights, they would always make a second. The Black Dragon Empire was also not in a hurry, they thought that the White Dragon Empire wouldn’t dare to touch them.
But who would have thought, the White Dragon Empire who hadn’t dared to say anything when they were invaded, now just because I kidnapped Long Yi, would dare to mobilize their entire army to fight me? And that too after Long Yi had successfully escaped after blowing up my factory?
This act of gaining an advantage and still playing the victim, is simply...
"Too childish." Tilian put down the report in front of him and said.
"This is your Second Brother! Heh heh heh!" the Black Dragon Emperor Kaniel sneered.
"He is nothing more than a fool spoiled by my father. Anyone who has even half a brain would know that he has no chance of winning this war." Tilian said.
"So, my chief science officer candidate, how is your new Dragon Knight transformation plan progressing? Will your new Dragon Knights be able to join the celebration before we crush those idiots?" Kaniel asked.
"Haha, I don’t think so. I heard that the plan is not going so well." A person also wearing a research institute uniform said.
"Exactly, they have Reiz’s existing research results but ignore them and insist on finding a new plan. This is utterly foolish!" Another person said.
"Moreover, I heard that the strength enhancement is not even half of Reiz’s approach!" A third person said.
These three people were also scientists, like Tilian, they had all worked under Reiz. Now that Reiz was dead, the position of the chief scientist was vacant, and as the top scientists of the Black Dragon Empire, Kaniel would naturally appoint one of them as the chief scientist.
Tilian listened but did not refute. He just said to the Emperor, "The first batch of subjects is nearly complete and will be able to be deployed on the battlefield in three days. I would ask your Majesty to judge based on their performance in the war then."
Kaniel nodded in approval. He greatly admired this particular quality in Tilian - no beating around the bush, a rather calculating individual, calm and composed, quite unlike the impulsive Reiz. Perhaps this was a common characteristic of people raised in the White Dragon Empire – cunning and always cautious.
"Your Majesty, the first batch of Dragon Knight potions we mixed will soon be ready for deployment on the battlefield. We respectfully request your approval!"
"Granted!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty! We shall not let you down!"
The war began, Long Yi and his team - Ai Lin, Little Zi, and Isrile - were too preoccupied to care as they hastened towards Gentle Wind Plain.
Many, many years ago, Gentle Wind Plain still was a vast, fertile plain, an excellent region for cultivating crops. Since it was the border for several countries, it had also become a hot spot for disputes.
However, all those disputes ceased due to the existence of plane wounds. Monsters surged from the plane channel, destroying everything in their path. Since then, Gentle Wind Plain had turned into a desolate no man’s land. The various countries erected observation stations in distant locations, always prepared to report any movement of the plane wound back home.
Today, the White Dragon Empire’s observation station had a few special guests.
Long Yi, Ai Lin, Little Zi, and Isrile.
The presence of one man and three women stirred enthusiasm in the hearts of these oppressed sentinels. However, seeing the Fairy Dragon, Female Demon, and Little Zi - who possessed the strength of two bulls - they quashed their excitement and quickly returned to their roles as excellent soldiers.
"Gentlemen, we have orders. Please pack up and return home to await further instructions."
Long Yi held up a piece of paper for the soldiers to see. After seeing the blank paper, the soldiers saluted and went off cheerfully to pack their belongings.
Being a sentinel in this place was very tough, as there were no entertainment facilities and only five people were deployed for the station. Suddenly being relieved of their duties today, who wouldn’t be overjoyed?
Long Yi tossed the blank paper away, there were no words on it.
Yes, there were no such orders, it was merely Little Zi’s psychic control. The only ones aware of their mission were the Emperor and the Black Dragon. The Emperor hadn’t even informed the head of the legions. The movements of Long Yi were kept strictly confidential to prevent any leaks.
What Long Yi needed to do was to strike hard and fast.
The entire station was quickly emptied, Little Zi began to control the Female Demons, conducting an incredibly thorough search of the surroundings. Any creature larger than an insect within a 500-meter radius was instantly wiped out, all in order to avoid a repeat of the drone incident.
Long Yi and his team spent two quiet days there.
To be honest, it was a difficult two days. Long Yi was very worried about Wesley and his team’s fight, but this place was evidently more important. They waited for two days for the frontlines to be engulfed in intense battle, shifting everyone’s attention to the war and away from Gentle Wind Plain.
Finally, after the break of dawn on the third day, Long Yi and his team set off. Remembering the maps in his mind, they first tried to find a plane wound close to the White Dragon Empire side, but the search was fruitless. They then proceeded towards the direction of the Black Dragon Empire.
Due to the special circumstances of Gentle Wind Plain, most countries listed it as a restricted zone. Even during a war, they would definitely avoid this area. Since the wounds on the plane’s surface were unstable, no one knew whether releasing a couple of fighting auras would open a new plane wound and allow a Demon Tribe invasion. Hence, even the aggressive Black Dragon Empire had never considered opening a battlefield here. However, unlike other countries that sent merely sent sentinels, the Black Dragon Empire always maintained minimal patrols in this area.
According to the map, Long Yi set up an ambush along the patrol route and soon captured two sleepy patrol soldiers. Under the effect of the spell of truth, they decisively revealed the location of their military outpost. Controlling the group of thirty soldiers, over the next two days, all patrol routes will be altered.
Next, they set out to locate the plane wound.
Finding a plane wound is a challenging task because plane wounds do not always appear. They materialize at a fixed frequency, which requires a significant amount of patience and luck.
However, it appeared that Long Yi was pretty fortunate.
The space in front of him was distorting and quivering, with strange shadows appearing from time to time, accompanied by bizarre cries. Suddenly, a black rift sprang open, and some crystalline powder sprayed out, which disappeared in the blink of an eye as it hit the air.
Crystal Poison fears light. Without inhabiting a life form, it would disintegrate automatically under the sunlight in less than a second.
Standing there, Long Yi’s heart pounded heavily. In the past, he had boldly dived into magma, but only because he had been fully prepared and was extremely confident. In contrast, he was not confident about his ongoing mission.
Come! Let’s proceed!"(To be continued. If you like this novel, please vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is our greatest motivation.Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to read.)
