Evil dragon has a warm heart
Chapter 451 - 451 450 The Nation Shaken

Chapter 451: Chapter 450: The Nation Shaken Chapter 451: Chapter 450: The Nation Shaken The Torrential Flood Dragon nested at Swan Lake in Fire Ant Swamp, which was an incomparable honor for the Sunflower Family.

However, many in the world are like Ye Gong, who loves dragons only in theory.

Those from the Sunflower Family who truly slept beside the Torrential Flood Dragon spent their days and nights in constant fear, unable to eat or sleep well.

Now that the Torrential Flood Dragon had departed, Swan Castle was filled with singing and dancing.

Lord Kunbifu Yinyan, having seldom come from Red Castle, naturally wanted to enjoy himself to the fullest, basking in familial delight amid the graceful dancing and singing.

“Although I closely allied with the Torrential Flood Dragon, aligning with the actions of the Scorching Torrent Kingdom, everything was done so Kunslai could win as Grand Duke, not because I truly liked the Torrential Flood Dragon,” Baron Kunbifu reassured himself as he savored the fine wine and delicacies.

Now, the nobles of the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame all knew that the Sunflower Family had sided with the Scorching Torrent Kingdom, and many despised them.

Unfortunately, the family of the Chosen Son Augustus Water Willow was foolish, and Earl Merlin, backing Chosen Son Mel Yujiuhua, was too dominant.

Thus, even though Chosen Son Kunslai Xiangrikui had sided with the Scorching Torrent Kingdom, he still had no lack of supporters in this favorable environment. Moreover, with the firm support of the Torrential Flood Dragon, the Shadowflame Dragon could not readily object.

In the end.

Dragons are not humans, they don’t care about human allegiances; as long as they serve the dragons well, the dragons won’t mind the humans’ petty schemes.

“So what if the Sunflower Family has leaned toward the Scorching Torrent Kingdom? Once Kunslai wins, serving the Shadowflame Dragon well, all past events will become mere smoke and clouds, and Kunslai’s descendants will truly be the Flamecrest Dragonblood Family!”

Thinking this, Baron Kunbifu’s mood greatly improved.

The establishment of the eight Torrent Scale Towers was like laying a solid foundation for him and his grandson Kunslai, paving their way to the position of Grand Duke.

He raised his glass, looking at his second grandson, “Kunsup, lift your glass, let us wish your elder brother a swift ascension to the position of Grand Duke.”

Immediately, Kunsup raised his glass with heartfelt wishes, “I wish my big brother a swift ascension to the position of Grand Duke.”

Previously, he had been very envious of his elder brother, and resented why he was not the elder brother, but had to be the younger brother.

Both were sons of nobility, but the treatment of the eldest son compared to a younger son was worlds apart.

But now everything had been perfectly resolved, his elder brother Kunslai could confidently vie for the Grand Duke position, while he would inherit everything from the Sunflower Family. Could life have a more splendid ending than this? Clearly, it couldn’t.

The family was enjoying a joyful banquet at Swan Castle.

All of a sudden.

A familiar dragon roar came from afar in the sky, yet this familiar sound was mixed with a tone of panic.

“Hmm!”

“Hmm?” Baron Kunbifu suddenly frowned, looking at his children and grandchildren, “Could it be that I have drunk too much and am hallucinating? Why do I think I heard the Torrential Flood Dragon’s roar? Did you hear it?”

Lord Kunteang immediately stood up, “Father, I think I also heard the Torrential Flood Dragon’s roar.”

“How can that be? Grandfather, Father, the Torrential Flood Dragon should have already returned to the Scorching Torrent Kingdom,” Kunsup furrowed his brow. He had not yet ascended to the rank of Great Knight, and his senses were not as sharp, his hearing a bit weaker.

But the next moment.

The familiar yet panicked dragon roar sounded again, “Hmm!”

Now, everyone in Swan Castle had heard it, and Baron Kunbifu could no longer sit still; he rose and rushed outside the castle.

It was late in the evening, stars twinkling.

In the northwest sky, a blue water glow flickered slightly and gradually enlarged, quickly outlining the silhouette of the Torrential Flood Dragon. But compared to its usual bright light, the dragon now appeared dim.

“Ah, it really is the Torrential Flood Dragon!” Kunsup exclaimed from behind.

Lord Kunteang deeply frowned, “Father, why has the Torrential Flood Dragon suddenly come back?”

Baron Kunbifu shook his head, saying nothing more, only instructing, “Prepare to welcome His Highness Torrent.”

“Hmm!”

The Torrential Flood Dragon in the sky roared again in panic.

The next moment its massive body suddenly plunged from the sky, a huge meteor falling and crashing forcefully into Swan Lake.

“Prince Torrent!” Baron Kunbifu called out loudly.

After a while, the Torrential Flood Dragon finally surfaced from Swan Lake, its massive body covered in wounds of various sizes. These wounds were slowly healing, yet one could still sense the fierce battle it had previously endured.

Splash…

A wave-like onslaught of magical Dragon Speech erupted.

Baron Kunbifu, who understood Dragon Speech, was alarmed and said, “You mean you were attacked by a Snow Giant and Frost Giants, and not just one Frost Giant, but two… By the Dragon’s watch, that’s too, too… terrifying.”

As a senior minister of the Council of Elders, Baron Kunbifu was naturally aware of the details about the Frost Giants.

On Leize Land, the story of the Torrential Flood Dragon, the Shadowflame Dragon, and Baron Thunderflame Russell battling the Snow Giant Da and the Frost Giants behind him had already been passed around among the major nobility. To prevent public panic, however, it had not been published in the gazettes.

Splash…

The Torrential Flood Dragon spoke its last sentence in Dragon Speech and slowly sank back into Swan Lake to recuperate from its injuries.

Baron Kunbifu took a deep breath, turned to his son and grandson, and said, “I must go to Red Castle to report this news. You must guard Prince Torrent well and ensure that no one disturbs his rest.”

Kunteang and Kunsup, father and son, understood the gravity of the situation and nodded repeatedly.

Whoosh.

The Bronze Dragon flew over from the Swan Castle. Baron Kunbifu leapt onto its back and quickly flew in the direction of Red Castle.

…

“What?” Russell was at the Cigar Courtyard, syncing up and practicing with his newly contracted Ouroboros Snake, Uroboros.

He soon received a message brought by a Shadowguard Knight from Red Castle.

“Yes, Lord Russell,” the Shadowguard Knight said, “The Chief Executive requests that you hurry to the Red Castle to discuss the attack on the Torrential Flood Dragon.”

“Alright, I’ll leave right now,” Russell responded.

After the Shadowguard Knight left, Russell immediately ordered, “Hape, Uroboros, you two stay at home. Polly and I will make a trip to the Red Castle.”

With the Black Oil Dragon Ross far in the Blackflame Plains, Russell rode the Unicorn Polly and hurried to the Red Castle.

Upon his arrival at Red Castle, the Council of Elders had not yet convened.

They needed to wait for the Flying Dragon Knights to assemble before holding an expanded meeting of the Council of Elders. Meanwhile, Russell chatted with his grandfather Earl Merlin for a while.

“His Highness Shadowflame’s earlier senses were not wrong. Lurking outside the borders of my Grand Duchy are not only Snow Giant Da but another newly formed Snow Giant,” sighed Earl Merlin, “And behind these Snow Giants are Frost Giants.”

“Grandfather, has this message been sent to the Scorching Torrent Kingdom?” Russell asked.

“I have already asked Marquis Arno to dispatch a Phantom Pigeon Knight to deliver the message to the kingdom. I believe King Ares will soon be aware of this information.”

After speaking, Earl Merlin flicked the ash from his cigar and sighed, “Troublesome times indeed. We beheaded a Snow Giant Da, only for a Frost Giant to appear, and now there’s a pair of Snow Giants and Frost Giants.”

Dealing with one Frost Giant was already headache enough, and now with the emergence of a pair of Snow Giants and Frost Giants, Earl Merlin began to feel the great malice of life.

It was clear Dragon Sleep Continent would not be at peace any longer.

Russell spiritedly responded, “Grandfather, there’s no need to worry too much. It’s better for Snow Giants and Frost Giants to surface than to cause mischief hidden under the ice… Let water cover the earth and dragons face the demons. Now, it’s King Ares who should be worried.”

The Torrential Flood Dragon had escaped the attack by a stroke of luck.

But it dared not return to the Scorching Torrent Kingdom alone, particularly as the new Snow Giants and Frost Giants were targeting not only the Shadowflame Grand Duchy but also the Scorching Torrent Kingdom.

As the king and also a Dragon Knight, King Ares·Sundazzle was duty-bound.

“Grandfather,” Russell continued with a smile, “In the past only Shadowflame Grand Duchy had external troubles, and King Ares harbored desires of annexing our country. Now that a crisis has arrived, perhaps those thoughts of annexation will have to be suppressed.”

“Indeed, it’s time to band together for warmth,” he said.

“Perhaps even His Highness Shadowflame’s hope will return obediently,” said Russell.

However, Earl Merlin shook his head, “I understand dragons somewhat. The items they acquire are not easily returned, and even if we band together for warmth, it’s my Grand Duchy that needs the support of Mang Kingdom more than ever.”
