540: Chapter 108, Borrowing the Dragon to Kill Someone_3 540: Chapter 108, Borrowing the Dragon to Kill Someone_3 “Psh, a knock-off Dragon King just full of hot air!”

Hudson snapped out of his shock at Belsden’s remark.

If he was dealing with a real Dragon King, he had no choice but to surrender; but a counterfeit, that gave him some other options.

The giant dragon in front of them clearly wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed.

A proper giant dragon wouldn’t be stupid enough to rob an army, especially with the line “hand over your gold coins and the princess”.

Gold coins, a few army nobles carried some, but the amount certainly wouldn’t be considerable.

And the princess, that’s an utter crock.

Who in their right mind would bring a princess to a war?

Could it be that some eccentric bard composed a new tale and managed to trick this “Stupid Dragon” here?

“Didn’t hear any answer, so send out your commander quickly to respond, or else this Dragon King is gonna start a killing spree!”

Maxim’s voice rose again, causing Hudson to roll his eyes.

However, instead of replying immediately, he cast his gaze towards Belsden.

The implication was clear: Could their own bear handle the situation?

If it can, then he would respond directly; if not, then the army would attack outright.

Even with a low hit rate, as long as the number of attacks is high, there will always be a chance of striking.

Can’t be a Dragon Slayer?

Scaring off a dragon is also a decent choice.

As an experienced Commander in Chief, Hudson had become used to the fact that one man’s success often comes at the expense of many.

“Relax, we still have an army, right?

If that guy doesn’t play it cool, let’s beat the shit out of him!”

Seeing eager Belsden made Hudson confident.

Yet he didn’t rush in front of the dragon but used a distant sound transmission magic spell to communicate:

“Respected Mr.

Dragon, I believe you must have come to the wrong place.

This is a military camp, which is devoid of both gold coins and princesses.”

If you’re looking to rob gold and a princess, may I suggest you go to the neighboring Orc Empire?

The royal family over there has many princesses.”

I believe you have noticed that there are no human beings for hundreds of miles around here.

This was once a very prosperous place, but unfortunately, you are a step late.

The Orc Army has just looted all the wealth.”

The moment Great Deception Technique was used, it was Maxim’s turn to be dumbfounded.

It kind of made sense.

The Orc Empire does not practice monogamy, so it is expected that they have many princesses.

And having just looted the human territory, it makes sense they are wealthy.

But just after taking their money, turning around to rob them again, that seemed too unethical.

If word gets out, it would tarnish the Dragon’s reputation!

“Human, stop the nonsense.

I indeed plan to go to the Orc Empire, but you still have to pay your toll, otherwise…”

Before Maxim could finish his sentence, Hudson ruthlessly interrupted him, “Mr.

Dragon, allow me to correct you, we don’t plan to pass from here, so there’s no need to pay a toll.”

Most importantly, we don’t have any money, and we don’t have a princess either.

Are you sure you want to risk injury to fight us and then leave empty-handed?

If this news gets out, everyone will think you’re a Stupid Dragon, and all the she-dragons will avoid you.

Pardon my question, but I can understand robbing gold coins.

Why would you want to rob a princess?”

After hearing Hudson’s words, Maxim’s flushed face turned an even deeper red.

Being a first-time thief, he had made several mistakes, truly a disgrace to the dragon breed.

It’s all the Dragon Mother’s fault, she claimed that “kidnapping a princess” is the easiest way to fame and could also secure a hefty ransom.

That would have been tolerable, but what’s worse, she didn’t tell him where to rob and where not to.

Perhaps in the mind of the Dragon Mother, all this was common knowledge, every dragon should inherently know, and she forgot to enlighten Maxim.

Just like when he previously tried to steal the Earth Bear’s territory, Maxim had once more fallen into the trap of robbing an army.

Thank goodness he didn’t act rashly, or else it would have been another tragic dragon’s tale.

“Little human chap, besides the Orc Empire, where else nearby can I rob?

Tell me quickly, and I’ll let you go today!”

Facing such an arrogant and annoying demeanor, Hudson felt an urge to beat him up good.

Considering the dragon’s amazing battle strength, he finally dismissed the attractive idea.

Beating up the dragon may be easy, but being hounded by dragon afterward, that would be big trouble.

Unless truly necessary, Hudson didn’t want to be a Dragon Slayer.

“In the northeast direction, there used to be my clan’s ancestral land; there should be some treasures, perhaps you can go find them?”

Hudson said plainly without a change of expression.

No lies, the Koslow Clan’s ancestral land indeed lied to the northeast.

Only, it has now switched hands and has become the territory of the Rocknard Clan.

Conveniently, their main base was also in the northeast direction.

Tricking the dragon in this direction clearly smacks of intentional revenge.

But since it was destined to be an enemy, there was no need to play nice.

Not leading the troops directly to overthrow the den of the Rocknard Clan was Hudson being lawful.

Vengeance is the prerogative of personal vendetta and Rocknard Clan does not have the right to complain.

The old Koslow Clan was trapped to death by them.

More than 300 direct family members died tragically in the ancestral land, hence, passing on the continuous blood feud.
