Chapter 478: Chapter 368: Who Can Help Me?
In Dandi’s view, Rongka was very strange.
First of all, within the eighteen tiers of hell, Rongka occupied the largest, which was the eighteenth tier. However, no matter when, Rongka never thought of taking over the higher tiers.
Secondly, Rongka was very powerful, his infinite knowledge brought him infinite power. But in everyone’s view, Rongka was nothing more than an old man in a grey robe.
Then, Rongka liked doing things himself very much. Anything he could do by himself, he never relied on others. This was simply not like something an emperor should do.
Moreover, Rongka also had a fondness for peace. When there was nothing to do, he spent most of his time running around the entire hell, trying to establish peace throughout the eighteen tiers of hell.
This, in Dandi’s view, was simply inconceivable.
No, even in Long Yi’s view, it was simply inconceivable, Rongka’s quirks were the epitome of a loser.
"Is Rongka’s command to you guys to bring me back to hell?" Long Yi asked.
"No, that’s impossible. Rongka would never actively kill the people he wants. He brings about his intentions through his agents - just like the current Emperor Yake. It seems he has some reservations." Dandi said.
"Then why would you guys attack me?" Long Yi was puzzled.
"Because that was my command. If we don’t attack you, how could you possibly become interested in me? And The Yakshas would surely slaughter innocent people." Said Dandi proudly, "Moreover, you are powerful. The Yaksha’s attacks are nothing to you."
Long Yi was at a loss for words, according to the knowledge passed down by the Giants, the Blood Ravens were extremely cunning creatures. Apparently, this was true.
"So, is the situation just as I thought. Rongka agreed to lend his power to Yake Black, let him kill me, and then have the Yaksha take me back to hell?"
"Yes, it’s actually that simple." Dandi said.
"Then, what is the help that Rongka gave to Yake?" This is what Long Yi really wanted to know.
"Very simple, hell mud." Dandi said, "But not much."
Dammit, this was troublesome, Long Yi cursed in his heart. The process to purify the hell mud is a long one, and if there is not much mud, then Yake would surely use it in a critical situation. After the body of the creature is contaminated by hell mud, their power will greatly increase. Coupled with the already advanced technology of the Black Dragon Empire, the hell mud will definitely be the biggest trouble in future battles.
Long Yi left Dandi’s room with a heavy heart, and the others also left with Long Yi. Looking at this unique world, an inexplicable warmth arose in Dandi’s heart.
She looked down at her body, blushed, and internally acknowledged how embarrassing it was. But she couldn’t help it. As a life form not from this world, the only person she could rely on here was Long Yi. And their relationship was simply based on Long Yi helping her recover her health. as a Blood Raven she was clever, she knew how to find reliance in the most disadvantageous environments. She could immediately see the relationship between Ai Lin and Long Yi, and traced the potential relationship between Suolin and Long Yi through their body languages, hence catching the commonality between Ai Lin and Suolin.
So Dandi chose this plan: Long Yi was a man, and there was always a way to deal with men. She unknowingly exposed her most seductive side, as long as Long Yi had a little bit of feeling for her, she would be certain that he wouldn’t be too guarded against her. It seemed her tactic was succeeding.
"This is for the rebirth of the Blood Raven clan!"
Dandi stood up, walked a few steps towards the mirror and laughed contentedly.
The next day, Long Yi went to find Kirei.
The first sentence that Long Yi said when he saw Kirei made the emperor burst out laughing.
"Believe it or not, mate, compared to the Black Dragon Empire coming over, we might be able to get more help from other planes."
He briefly reported Dandi’s affairs to Kirei, and at the same time demonstrated to Kirei a magic spell that could purify the hell mud. But this spell must be combined with the Tears of Light to work, and according to Selena’s tone, the yield of Tears of Light was not high, so getting a few tons as a backup was out of the question.
However, something, after all, was better than nothing.
"The Black Dragon Empire is coming to our territory to stir up trouble, don’t we have any response?" Long Yi asked Kirei.
"We do, you just don’t know." Kirei said with a smile.
"I don’t know?"
"Double-checking. Over the past year, the Black Dragon Empire has carried out more than a hundred different attacks on the White Dragon Empire’s weapon suppliers, granaries, Imperial research institutes, and even military camps. And we also carried out over a hundred similar activities on the Black Dragon Empire. But many of these things were not publicized and did not require your power, so I never told you. I thought that you wouldn’t be interested in knowing." Kirei said.
"I see." Long Yi had always been curious. Whether it was Blood Coagulation or these troublesome attacks, the Black Dragon Empire was relentless. But he had never heard of any counterattacks from the White Dragon Empire; Long Yi had thought that Kirei was biding his time. But it turned out that the war had already started outside of his field of vision.
"Do you need any help from me?" Long Yi was eager to give it a try.
"You might as well, these small fights can be handled by me. As long as you can help me secure victory in the final battle, that would be more important than anything else." Kirei said.
On the way back to the villa, Long Yi began to think non-stop about who else could help him.
The Sea Clan?
No, the Sea Emperor is extremely cautious. He’s afraid that his giant status might cause him some problems. Moreover, despite the Sea Clan warriors’ strength, their fighting abilities are considerably weaker on land. Asking them for help would certainly be a huge favor.
Elves?
Maybe. With his Silver Dragon Knight identity, the elves should show him some respect. But Long Yi doesn’t think he’s close with the elves, so it’s a little awkward to ask them for help. Unless it’s a critical moment, they won’t be of help. However, the elves indeed have a large number of damaged golems stored, and the ongoing work on golem restoration at the research institute is progressing well. Maybe soon, large scale golem repairs could be realized.
Dwarves?
That certainly won’t work. Dwarves are famously neutral. Considering Long Yi’s relationship with the dwarves, for them secretly helping him at a low cost signifies the utmost goodwill.
City of Darkness?
No, no, no! He couldn’t even think about it. If the golems of the City of Darkness were to be mobilized, it could lead to a war against the Dragon Clan instead of the Black Dragon Empire.
On the surface, these are all the relationships Long Yi has.
What about the relationships he has across different planes?
The Demon Abyss dragon on Sulfur Island will undoubtedly belong to his faction, there’s no doubt about that.
Crystal Demon?
This may work. The Crystal Demon’s unique combat methods of downloading consciousness offer reliable assistance to Long Yi.
Demon Clan?
Seriously? He needs Demon Clan’s help to deal with the trifling Black Dragon Empire? As soon as Long Yi thought of Yavenny’s face, the idea was outrightly dismissed in his head.
Celestial Clan?
Hm, that’s my wife’s family! I should definitely get benefits from there!
And then—Blood Raven!
Dandi claims that the Blood Raven has utter disdain towards Rongka. Besides, the Blood Raven and the Giant have a close relationship. If harnessed properly, they could be a strong force.
It seemed like he was overwhelmed with crisis, but now that he thought about it, it seemed like he was surrounded by allies everywhere!
But, what can the Blood Raven help with? After all, the only Blood Raven who can be useful currently is Dandi. However, Dandi had once mentioned that the Eternal Emperor Rongka would send the Yaksha to any world he’s interested in, and the one he is interested in the most is definitely Long Yi. Hence, there must be a large number of Yaksha existing in the human realm.
My heavens! These are potential allies!
Just as he was reflecting on this, Long Yi felt like bursting into laughter.
In a blink, two weeks passed. Although the unrest in the Imperial City was still spreading in every corner, the order in the city had returned to normal.
One day, as Long Yi just returned from the palace to his villa, he noticed Wesley hurrying out. As soon as Wesley saw Long Yi, his eyes brightened.
"Eh? Brother, didn’t you go back to the Legion?" Long Yi asked with a smile.
Wesley’s face sported an awkward grin as he said, "Haha, there’s a bit of a situation at home, so I took a leave. I happened to be passing by and wanted to come and hang out with you."
A situation? On leave? Passing by? Hang out?
Long Yi took a moment to piece together these keywords, then he picked out the only useful one among them.
A situation.
This bastard certainly has a situation, and it’s a big one!
Long Yi knew Wesley well. He belonged to the infamous unreliable trio. His usual jolly and casual demeanor is just a facade. In crucial situations, Wesley is very reliable and responsible. Such a person would not come back for any minor issues at home. Wesley’s family was relatively well-known in the Imperial City, they started with a sundry goods business following the motto of "Make money, no matter what". Although it sounded unscrupulous, it has indeed accumulated initial wealth for the family. As their business grew, Wesley’s family occupied nearly one-third of the sundry goods market in the White Dragon Empire.
For such a family, to say they have no problems, Long Yi would certainly not believe it. However, business affairs would definitely not be handled by the novice Wesley who is talented but lacks experience. The reason that would cause Wesley to leave the army and appear here first could only mean a major problem.
Just at this moment, Ai Lin hurried out of the villa. Long Yi glanced at Ai Lin with a questioning look, and Ai Lin returned with a baffled one. Apparently, though Wesley had just left the villa, he hadn’t revealed any information to Ai Lin.
"Fine. Since we are going to have fun, what shall we play?" Shaking Wesley’s shoulder, Long Yi replied with a grin.
I...Let me treat you to a drink." Wesley suggested.
"Great, let’s go!" Long Yi nodded at Ai Lin, and then walked away with Wesley.(To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it at qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can read on m.qidian.com).
