King of Titans and Dragons
Chapter 664 - 664 658 Escalating Conflict

Chapter 664: Chapter 658: Escalating Conflict Chapter 664: Chapter 658: Escalating Conflict “Hurry up, any more dragon-hunting crossbow bolts left? Shoot it quickly, this white dragon can’t hang on much longer.” Inside a small iceberg, an adventurer holding a tower shield excitedly shouted. He was staring at the huge white dragon in front of him, swaying and about to fall.

“We have three left.”

“Then what are you waiting for? Hurry and load the crossbow and shoot. Don’t save any, as long as we kill this dragon, all the money we spent previously can be recouped. We’ll become the heroes of our hometown.”

“Hold on a bit, you know this thing isn’t easy to draw.” A burly man with biceps as thick as the average person’s waist answered grumpily.

In his hands was a nearly two-meter-long giant crossbow. Behind him, there were three dragon-hunting bolts that were as long as spears. These were the smallest types of dragon hunting gear, capable of killing only immature white dragons. They are the lowest level of dragon hunting equipment. Even so, purchasing them had almost depleted the assets of their small adventurer group.

This was their team’s unanimous decision. They had noticed the changing situation on the mainland. More and more dragon hunters from the foreign continent were appearing, and the wilderness between cities was becoming safer because the ice monsters and dragon beasts that wandered between cities had been wiped out by these powerful humans.

And because of the increasingly safe ice fields, this small adventurer group began to contemplate something they had never thought of before: dragon hunting. As long as they could successfully kill a white dragon and then sell it, relying on the prestige of dragon hunting and the reward afterward, their team could live a life free of worry about food and clothing. They could lead prosperous and peaceful lives without having to fight anymore.

Thinking of the rewards for dragon hunting, the eyes of the muscular man controlling the hunting gear couldn’t help but glow with excitement. Merely gaining the reputation of a dragon slayer could allow him to easily find a good job in his hometown. For instance, becoming the captain of a noble’s personal guard.

“Hurry up and die, evil white dragon!” The burly man looked at the battered, angry white dragon that was only about ten meters tall and angrily cursed.

Before this, they hadn’t had any interaction with this white dragon. Before they found it, the dragon was still lazily sleeping in its cave. It hadn’t made any moves. It was humans who attacked it first!

But what did that matter? Slaughtering white dragons is politically correct here. All white dragons are evil. All white dragons deserve to die.

The adolescent white dragon glared fiercely at the small eight-person adventurer team. The dragon had four crossbow arrows lodged in their body, and light red dragon blood kept dripping from its body.

Its wounds could not heal, and the loss of blood led to its life force continuously draining away. It felt that it didn’t have much time left and was about to die here.

With this realization, the eyes of this white dragon grew fierce and violent. Even if it was going to die, it wouldn’t let these humans get away easily. It turned its head and sprayed visible cold air onto its wounds. It directly froze the flesh and blood around its wounds, stopping its bleeding.

Then, with a roar, it pounced forward viciously. Its wings had already been injured, otherwise, it would’ve flown away and escaped. Faced with the attack of the white dragon, two warriors holding tower shields repulsed it. Their faces turned red as blood, and it was extremely uncomfortable to fight a giant dragon, even a white dragon, head-on.

Behind them, a mage waved his magic staff, and annoying fireballs fell onto the white dragon and exploded, leaving marks. This was a rare fire mage.

Humans roared, dragons bellowed, and swords, magic, and endless killings and death took place…Humans hunted dragons, and the dragons killed humans in return. On the continent of Denapsus Subcontinent, for every dragon that fell, hundreds of humans turned into corpses. Killing dragons came with a price. When dragon hunters successfully slew a dragon, even more, humans suffered from the fury of the dragon.

In the White Dragon Kingdom, one dragon hunter corpse after another were hung in the most conspicuous places in the towns, deterring those audacious dragon hunters and demonstrating the majesty of the Frost Queen Clodia.

While such conflict was happening in the Depulson Subcontinent, Clodia, at the command of Prince Mureya, continued to issue conscription orders and mobilize the legion without any intention of stopping.

Snowfield Jackal People, Flying Dragon Cavalry, cold-scaled ground dragon, Froststorm Bear, cold flame dragon snake… Various types of monster legions assembled under the command of Clodia and then advanced towards the fifteen kingdoms in Northland. The cloud of war hung over Northland.

The plan discussed by the Northern Alliance was of no use, but instead made the situation more chaotic. Because currently, there are three crystal ancient dragons wreaking havoc in the human kingdoms in Northland, venting their anger.

But luckily, many legends from across the sea were holding back these three crystal ancient dragons, preventing further increase in casualties. But even so, the rulers of Northland are still quite troubled.

At this time, Clodia was leading her White Dragon Legion and, under the protection of a monster legion of more than a million, advancing towards the human kingdom. In this situation, any dragon hunter with a normal brain wouldn’t dare to provoke Clodia. Even the legends could be piled up and killed if there were enough numbers, after all, legends are not perpetual motion machines, their power is limited.

While Clodia was waging war, Prince Mureya was not with her, but instead went to the Tiago Kingdom in response to the Silver Dragon’s call for help. He is going to help the Silver Dragon deal with those persistent church officials.

“Prince Mureya.” Right after stepping out from the teleportation array, Mureya saw Silver Dragon Queen Alfie, who had been waiting for him.

“Where are the church officials?” Mureya asked directly. He knew that these people had started to hinder the investigation by Silver Dragons. They wanted to downplay this event. And the Silver Dragons were not exactly in a position to be forceful with them due to some concerns. After all, these people indeed came with good intentions.

“They are still in my palace.”

“Tell me the specifics.”

“These divine staff members came to me when I began the mobilization meeting,” Silver Dragon Queen Elfie said, her face showing a look of helplessness, “I wanted to mobilize all the silver dragons in the country, activate all the legions, clear the dragon hunters inside the country, and be sure to find the missing silver dragon and the stolen dragon egg.

But then these humans showed up, saying they could help us investigate. They asked us not to take such drastic action and not to escalate the conflict. They asked us to wait for their investigation result.”

“Utterly absurd.” Mureya said coldly.
