Global Game: Developing a Knight Clan-Chapter 167 - 146: Amos’s Long-Cherished Wish, a Saint Tier Giant Dragon Accomplished
The Outer Mountain of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
Amos and Crimson were still here.
For the past few days, they had been waiting for news from the depths of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
But it was clear that the Saint Tier Magical Beasts within the Demon Beast Mountain Range had yet to reach any conclusion in their discussions.
Consequently, no Demon Beast had come to deliver a message these past few days.
However, as nominal subordinates of the Forest Giant Elephant, the two had immediately sent a Demon Beast to report everything that had happened on the battlefield as soon as they returned to the Outer Mountain of the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
At the same time, they had also made one thing clear.
Namely, if the Aurora Bird didn’t give them a proper explanation, they would not let the matter rest.
Furthermore, if they didn’t get the outcome they wanted, then the Demon Beast Mountain Range shouldn’t blame them for defecting.
Whether they sided with the Human Race or the Beastmen, they would ensure the Demon Beast Mountain Range would not have an easy time before they left.
In the age when the gods still walked the earth, such a blatant threat would have been no different from a death wish.
Fortunately, the gods had long since vanished from the world.
And the Saint Tiers were nothing more than a bunch of decrepit old geezers who could drop dead at any moment.
If the Saint Tier Magical Beasts were willing to come out of seclusion and risk accelerating their demise by unleashing their power just once to deal with them, then Amos and Crimson would accept their fate!
But the crucial question was, would the Aurora Bird dare?
The two were certain the Aurora Bird wouldn’t dare! Not even the Forest Giant Elephant would dare!
These Saint Tier Magical Beasts even had to worry about whether the two had contacted other factions upon returning to the Outer Mountain.
If they truly had...
With the strength of two Tier Nine Peak Sub-dragons, backed by a counterattack from the Human Race or other factions...
This time, the Demon Beast Mountain Range could forget about holding onto the human territory it had conquered; it would be difficult to even secure the Outer Mountain.
It was even possible that a few Saint Tiers would have to die before the matter was settled.
While it might be difficult for other Demon Beasts to join another faction, it was all too easy for Sub-dragons to switch allegiances.
After all, the power of the Sub-dragon Races among the various peoples of the Oakland Continent was not to be underestimated!
Thus, this was no small matter.
The day after receiving the news, the Forest Giant Elephant dispatched a Tier Nine Flying Demon Beast.
It did its utmost to placate the two.
At the same time, the Forest Giant Elephant stated that it would definitely seek justice for them this time and make the Aurora Bird pay a heavy price.
But even with the Forest Giant Elephant’s assurances, the two didn’t fully trust it.
They were all a bunch of ancient monsters; who didn’t know what the others were like?
Once the Saint Tier Magical Beasts reached an internal consensus, it was hard to say whether a devastating blow or a peaceful compensation awaited them.
But Earth Dragon Amos and Red Dragon Crimson had long since stopped caring about that.
All they were doing now was stalling for time.
In fact, the best-case scenario would be for the Saint Tier Magical Beasts in the Demon God Hall to allow them to occupy the Outer Mountain of the Demon Beast Mountain Range as their own territory.
From then on, they would obey orders but not summons.
But the two didn’t hold out much hope for this, as the Outer Mountain was, after all, the gateway to the Demon Beast Mountain Range.
How could they let two disloyal Sub-dragons occupy it?
It wasn’t a matter of whether the area was rich in resources; what mattered was its strategic position.
Of course, they didn’t care what the outcome was. The key now was to make demands and, ideally, drag the matter out for a few years.
To that end, the two even "thoughtfully" told the Forest Giant Elephant’s messenger that, for the Forest Giant Elephant’s sake, they were willing to wait a few years.
But a result had to be reached within those few years.
After all, Demon Beasts were long-lived species; one couldn’t expect them to be efficient.
It was entirely possible for them to give each other the silent treatment for months out of spite, or even to spend years probing one another.
Unless the situation became truly urgent.
Otherwise, the matter certainly wouldn’t be resolved anytime soon.
Amos and Crimson’s stance satisfied the Forest Giant Elephant’s Tier Nine Magical Beast messenger, who quickly returned to relay the message.
And less than half a day after the Tier Nine Magical Beast left to deliver the message...
While resting, Amos and the Red Dragon were suddenly stunned by a figure that abruptly descended upon the Outer Mountain of the Demon Beast Mountain Range!
There was no warning.
Lince, using the power of his Blood Covenant with the Forest Wolves, appeared before the two in an instant.
His body was over 1,500 meters long.
His shoulder height exceeded 800 meters.
It was an absolute joke.
Before such a colossus, even an Earth Dragon like Amos was no bigger than a puppy in comparison.
When Lince raised his head while standing at the foot of the Outer Mountain, he could rest it perfectly on the summit.
Therefore, the moment Lince appeared...
It wasn’t just Earth Dragon Amos and Red Dragon Crimson who were completely at a loss.
Even the numerous canine Demon Beasts in the area instantly tucked their tails and prostrated themselves on the ground. As for the nearby Flying Demon Beasts, it was as if they’d forgotten how to fly, plummeting from the sky in a panic.
Faced with such a terrifying scene, both Earth Dragon Amos and Red Dragon Crimson could only stare with their mouths agape.
"Your... Your Highness?"
Amos stared in disbelief at the colossus before him, his voice sounding old and halting.
At Amos’s call, Lince’s gaze, which had been looking down on the two with indifference, softened into a smile.
"Old Man, did I scare you?"
The moment Lince’s familiar voice rang out, Crimson let out a long sigh of relief, though she was still in shock.
Looking at Lince again, the Red Dragon’s expression was now a complex mix of excitement and exhilaration.
She said, in a tone that was almost a playful complaint:
"Is it really you, Your Highness? You came back without giving us any warning. Of course we were going to be scared!"
"Haha, as long as it’s Your Highness, then all is well! All is well!!!"
