Chapter 557: Chapter 100 Struggle of the White Dragon, Vengeance’s Resolve (End of Volume Three)

The next day, Xiao Jie booted up his computer bright and early and sat in front of it. At 8:45 AM, Long Xingtianxia indeed sent him an invitation to the meeting.

Upon entering the chatroom, it was clear that most people had already arrived—Long Xingtianxia, Longteng Sihai, Hong Fu Qitian, Yu Long, Listen to Dragon Roar, Ba Tian Kuanglong, Hidden Dragon Do Not Use, Little White Dragon...

Nearly all were top-ranking officials from the Dragon Soaring Knights, either deputy leaders or sub-branch leaders.

The meeting started on time at nine o’clock.

Long Xingtianxia first relayed the information about Xiao Jie to everyone present.

"The situation is as such. Currently, it seems that there is a hidden force behind the person who sold us the information. I have already arranged for our intelligence department to investigate, but the other party seems to have vanished, without logging on at all. What are your thoughts on this information, and how should we deal with the mastermind behind the scenes and the Azure Dragon Association? Feel free to speak your minds."

Listen to Dragon Roar: If we encounter the Azure Dragon Association in Beiming State, what are the chances of a conflict?

Longteng Sihai: I don’t think a direct conflict is likely. This isn’t Legendary where we fight for Sabak castle, nor is it Demon Beast with Horde and Alliance battling out. It’s not a matter of starting a war at the drop of a hat.

Everyone plays this game pursuing interests. It’s said that behind the Azure Dragon Association stands a multinational business corporation. They invest in gaming studios, naturally seeking profit, so why would they benefit from waging war with us? I believe that even if we do encounter each other, a fight would not break out.

Ba Tian Kuanglong: I think the question isn’t whether they would start a war, but whether we should. Our guild has over three hundred members and has been growing stronger. Since the Azure Dragon Association has fallen apart after their failed Dragon Slayer quest, why don’t we seize the chance to turn the tables on them?

Once we take control of the player forces in Beiming State, following the Dragon Slayer and nation-founding, we can swing our army northward and merge the two northern states. With the cavalry advantage of the northern states, we can sweep across the battlefields and quickly expand our territory.

Hidden Dragon Do Not Use: Although the Azure Dragon Association is not as strong as us, it’s still a large guild. Many would die in such a conflict.

Ba Tian Kuanglong: Pfft, what war has no casualties? Our strength is so overwhelming that we probably won’t lose many. Hidden Dragon, you’re just too compassionate.

Hong Fu Qitian: Kuanglong, you shouldn’t be too reckless. Have you thought about the scenario where we’re the mantis hunting the cicada, and an opportunist watches from behind? What if a hidden force strikes while we’re both worn out, sweeping us all in one move?

Ba Tian Kuanglong: That’s overthinking it. Given our guild’s organization, defeating the Azure Dragon Association would hardly cost us anything. If that mysterious organization decides to strike, we could simply crush them just the same. Warfare is about strong troops and horses; if this mysterious organization truly had that kind of strength, they would’ve directly attacked us by now. Why resort to such intrigue?

I think they probably don’t have much power to wield.

While listening to the discussion, Xiao Jie found himself puzzled. From their conversation, it seemed that they were all discussing how to deal with the Azure Dragon Association and that mysterious organization, yet not a single one considered abandoning the Dragon Slayer quest.

Especially Ba Tian Kuanglong, a veritable war fanatic, kept insisting on going to war.

Is this White Dragon really such a coveted prize? Although dragons are rare in this game, they’re not impossible to find. Each state has its share of dragons here and there. It’s even said that in the clouds of Guyun Continent and in the seas surrounding Penglai State, dragons are as common as little monsters—one could almost grab them by the handful.

He had not intended to speak so early in the meeting, but he couldn’t help asking.

Hidden Moon Following Wind: Is there something special about this White Dragon? Why is everyone valuing it so highly?

Listen to Dragon Roar: Didn’t the leader tell him?

Long Xingtianxia: Let me explain a bit. This White Dragon perfectly matches our current needs...

He then proceeded to give Xiao Jie a detailed explanation.

The nation-founding quest requires slaying a dragon and handing in the Dragon Head.

After killing a dragon, one can use its Dragon Soul to create a Dragon Flag, which is essentially a national Magic Treasure.

The Dragon Flag will provide enhancement attributes to the entire Kingdom. The stronger the dragon is, the more powerful the effects of the Dragon Flag.

If we were to slay only a weak Elite Level dragon, it would greatly affect the development of the entire guild.

Moreover, this is a permanent effect. Once the Dragon Flag is made, it cannot be replaced.

But then, we face a paradox: powerful dragons are hard to defeat for players, and an attempt could end like the Azure Dragon Association’s, suffering heavy casualties, while a weak dragon would result in a lackluster Dragon Flag, hindering future kingdom development.

Thus, finding a suitable dragon is not an easy task.

But this White Dragon happens to combine the best of both worlds. Its grade is Dragon King—a Boss-level Boss, but it has been heavily injured. This significantly reduces the difficulty of the battle without affecting the quality of the Dragon Flag—it’s pretty much perfect.

And even more perfect is what this dragon is guarding...

Long Xingtianxia sent Xiao Jie a picture.

The picture showed a deep, chilly ice crevasse. In the photograph, a White Dragon lay curled up at the bottom of an ice cave, shimmering scales of pure white radiating against the darkness of the cave. Evidently, the dragon was severely injured, which was evident from the shredded scales on its body and the Blood Volume being only half-full.

White Emperor’s Son (Nameless Dragon King) Level 66 Boss. Life Value 18000/36000.

Long Xingtianxia: And that’s not all. Take a look at what’s behind it.
