Don't Mess with That Dragon-Chapter 520 - 074 Changes

The Frost Giant clan living on the Dolan Glacier Plateau has no moral system aligning with human ethics, their societal system distinct from human civilization.

Every Frost Giant infant is thrown outside by their parents at birth. No amount of crying changes their fate; only those with robust bodies and the power to withstand the harsh cold and harsh weather can survive the first day and be cared for by the Frost Giants.

Yet even if the Frost Giant infants survive the harsh first day, countless trials await them.

In a tribal settlement, children are essentially raised together, and those with strong physiques and powerful strength can seize enough food to grow even stronger.

Those with relatively weaker physiques will struggle more and more with each failed struggle, perhaps eventually being abandoned by the tribe.

The process of survival of the fittest is vividly manifest in their tribe’s development process.

Growing up in such bloody competition forms the value of the survival of the fittest for each Frost Giant, fostering their bloodthirsty and irritable nature, resulting in extreme cruelty toward enemies.

This, perhaps, is somewhat influenced by their harsh living environment.

Frost Giants living in cold and barren places consume an astonishing amount daily and must concentrate all their power, unable to waste resources on weak individuals.

This bloody competition is one of the critical factors that enabled the Frost Giants to finally defeat the Dolan White Dragon that had entrenched itself on the Dolan Glacier Plateau.

There are many reasons for the Dolan White Dragon’s defeat, involving the mysterious resurrected Ancient King and other secrets related to the Dolan White Dragon itself, known only to the involved.

But compared to the Dolan White Dragon, which had been the overlord of the Dolan Glacier Plateau for hundreds or thousands of years and enjoyed peace for unknown years,

the Frost Giants’ nature, raised in cruel survival of the fittest ordeals, courageously fighting against nature and survivalists among men, enabled them to defeat the stronger from a weaker position, ultimately overturning the Dolan White Dragon’s domination.

The brutal life from an early age teaches every Frost Giant that they have nothing to lose, with a vast territory ahead but nothing behind.

Thus, they achieved success.

From the Barbaric Zone, they entered and ruled the Dolan Glacier Plateau, similarly to how barbarians culturally merge when conquering civilized people.

Decades ago, when King of the Frost Giants Laufey led the Frost Giants into the Dolan Glacier Plateau, absorbing some governance cultures of the Dolan White Dragon, while maintaining the tradition of survival of the fittest, they began to gradually evolve towards an ancestry-bloodline hierarchical division.

Previously, in impoverished Frost Giant tribes, the strongest was the Village Chief.

Now, indications arise that followers of King of the Frost Giants Laufey, with their noble bloodlines, hold higher status in front of ordinary Frost Giants.

The tradition of the Frost Giants is gradually changing, classes are newly formed, and the cultural fusion is causing certain degrees of fragmentation within the Frost Giant social group on the present Dolan Glacier Plateau.

Centered around Nivo City, Frost Giant Laufey is gradually establishing class rule.

And in the extensive areas outside the Glacial Plateau, many Frost Giant tribes still adhere to traditions.

However, these tribes must pay tribute to Laufey’s rule in Nivo City due to Laufey’s power, the strongest military force governing the city, and because all who live on this Glacier Plateau are under Laufey’s control since the initial attack on the Dolan Glacier Plateau.

Through this mixed governance system of the primitive and the civilized, King of the Frost Giants Laufey maintains the Frost Giants’ rule over the entire Dolan Glacier Plateau.

Gudint is part of the Frost Giant ruling class in Nivo City, one of the impoverished Frost Giants recruited from primitive tribes in the external wilderness.

Despite being just a gatekeeper Frost Giant, life in Nivo City is more comfortable than the hard life in external primitive tribe groups with irregular meals.

Just that, the rules here are also significant.

Some noble bloodlines have begun to differentiate their racial bloodlines among themselves...

"It feels like there’s some danger, should I consult the captain?"

For some reason, Gudint always has a sense of unease.

It seems like some danger is approaching.

Gudint’s perception is quite sharp.

This acute perception of danger has allowed him to avoid several life-and-death crises during his time in the tribe.

"Forget it, nothing might happen....."

The thought of the captain’s attitude towards them, the recruits from the outside, made Gudint retreat a bit.

After all, these gatekeepers’ existence only serves the higher-up nobles’ desire to amplify Nivo City’s majesty.

Now, the Frost Giants have replaced the White Dragon as the overlords of the Dolan Glacier Plateau.

No adversaries exist across the entire Dolan Glacier Plateau.

Even the defeated White Dragon has been mostly destroyed, incapable of posing any threat to the Frost Giants, and the remnants of the White Dragon do not possess the power to attack Nivo City.

"I am overthinking; there can’t be any danger; I’ve heard something is happening inside the city recently, so I’d better not get involved."

Gudint thought and forcibly suppressed the unease in his heart.

With the death and fall of King of the Frost Giants Laufey, many elite forces were summoned to participate in a battle at the Beastman Royal Court in the core of the Kawa Great Forest, suffering heavy losses, and few Legends returned.

This led to turbulent times within Nivo City.

If following the Frost Giants’ past traditions, chaos would have erupted long ago, allowing the strong to seize everything.

It’s just that the Ancient King of the Frost Giants seemed to have intervened, unclear what happened, and quelled the unrest.

However, aftereffects linger.

These days, Gudint can feel a disturbing atmosphere pervading the city.

"I hope the Saint King can properly handle these matters..."

While thinking about affairs within Nivo City,

suddenly,

the sky above Gudint darkened abruptly.

Accompanied by a subtle, low sound like thunder crackling, an enormous pitch-black energy sphere, seemingly tearing through space, instantly appeared high overhead!
