Chapter 551 - 370: Heart of Thunder_2
But this absolutely does not mean they are weak.
On the contrary, a Dragon Group capable of forcibly restraining the expansion and conquest desires inherent in the nature of Giant Dragons is often more terrifying than those indulgent and disorganized groups.
At the mention of the name Gorsas, a more dazzling electric spark suddenly burst forth from the unicorn on Peregrine’s nose, crackling loudly.
"Gorsas... I know him."
Peregrine slowly said, "A wild and mad dragon whose mind is full of destruction and killing, he is indeed a formidable opponent."
He admitted rationally and openly, "If it were a direct confrontation under the same life level, I probably wouldn’t be his match."
To directly admit being inferior to other dragons of the same age stage is a rare quality among generally proud and arrogant Evil Dragons, even among the relatively more rational Blue Dragon group.
"However."
The tone of the Heart of Thunder shifted, strong confidence returning to his voice, "I have the advantage brought by time accumulation. Now I’ve just ended my adulthood slumber, my life level has already reached level 20, at the peak below Legendary, surely surpassing him who hasn’t yet slumbered."
"With me at the lead, gathering the entire strength of our Dominican Dragon Group to besiege a mad dragon, albeit powerful but with a chaotic mind, is not a difficult task."
However.
After these words, the surrounding giant dragons did not immediately emit roars of agreement, instead looking at each other.
This was clearly not the reaction Peregrine had envisioned.
His eyes narrowed slightly, scanning the silent group of dragons.
"Father."
Blue Dragon Zoraya timely spoke, revealing the reason, "You’ve awakened a step too late, the Mad King Gorsas is already dead."
She observed the flash of astonishment in her father’s eyes and continued, "The one who killed him was the ruler of the Northwest Wilderness Region, the Red and Iron Dragon, the King of Molten Iron."
The battle between Galos and Gorsas was immense.
It wasn’t long before the identities of both sides in this battle and the final result began to spread gradually in wild circles through various clues and the investigation of some purposeful individuals.
Since then.
The prestige of the King of Molten Iron has grown rapidly like a prairie fire across the Sel Wilderness, even prompting many intelligent beings to privately acknowledge him as the current strongest dragon of the wilderness, causing countless fear and attention.
Blue Dragon Zoraya narrated as thoroughly as possible to Peregrine what she knew about the rise of the King of Molten Iron, the composition of his tribe, and the various rumors and information regarding the slaying of Gorsas.
Finally, she seemed to recall something, pondered briefly, and supplemented her report, "There’s another matter involving our internal Dragon Group rules that requires your personal decision, Father."
The Blue Dragon leader slightly nodded, adopting a listening posture, signaling the other to speak.
"During battles over territory and resources with our ancestral enemies, the Storm Giants along the coastal region, a part of the group that feared fighting betrayed the Dragon Group and fled independently during the fiercest fighting."
Zoraya said, "According to the intelligence we gathered later, we can confirm that some of these disgraceful traitors survived and fled to the Northwest Wilderness Region, and...currently seem to be dependent on the King of Molten Iron."
Peregrine’s gaze instantly became incredibly sharp.
Different from other Evil Dragons, Blue Dragons are social dragons living in clan manner.
In the same area, where numerous Evil Dragons live together, the importance of strict rules cannot be overstated, and among all the iron rules of the Dominican Dragon Group, none can tolerate traitors to the clan.
"Those damned, cowardly traitors! They must be found and devoured alive!"
"The King of Molten Iron dares harbor them! This is a blatant provocation and insult to our Dominican Dragon Group! Leader, we should immediately declare war on the King of Molten Iron! Wash away this shame with fire!"
A fiery-tempered Red Dragon couldn’t hold back and uttered an angry low growl.
"Fool! Shut up!"
Blue Dragon leader Peregrine abruptly turned his head, looking at the giant dragon who intervened.
Boom!
Without any sign, a bolt of Celestial Thunder descended from the sky, hitting the young Red Dragon, making him convulse with electric spasms.
After disciplining the unruly Red Dragon, his gaze remained razor-sharp but was filled with calm contemplative light instead of anger.
As a Blue Dragon near four hundred years old, experienced, and in the prime of life, Peregrine was no longer a young Evil Dragon completely controlled by impulses; he could effectively control parts of his nature, thinking and making decisions more rationally.
The King of Molten Iron, capable of slaying the Red Dragon Gorsas, whom even Peregrine admitted was difficult to deal with, should not be underestimated.
Furthermore, according to intelligence, the opponent is not a lone ranger.
Under his command is a powerful tribe with numerous loyal Followers, and other dragons follow him; he is also a true Master of the Dragon Clans.
If rashly prompted by a few traitors, an all-out war between two powerful Dragon Groups were to ensue, the risks involved might far exceed the potential gains.
After a brief but quick weighing of pros and cons, Peregrine made a decision.
"Zoraya, my daughter."
He looked at his most trusted offspring, his voice restored to its steadiness.
"To show our sincerity, you will personally make a trip to the Northwest Region."
"You need to meet the King of Molten Iron, convey my thoughts personally to him. Regarding those cowards who betrayed Dominican, I hope for a friendly and honest communication and negotiation. I believe a true strong one should be able to understand the necessity of maintaining Dragon Group rules."
Blue Dragon Zoraya nodded lightly, indicating her obedience.
She didn’t leave immediately, hesitating for a few seconds, she still asked, "Father, I understand your intention."
"But if... if the King of Molten Iron refuses to communicate, or the communication and negotiation fail to reach a consensus, and fail."
"Then, what should we do next?"
She gathered quite a bit of intelligence and had an impression based on information of that King of Molten Iron she had never met.
In her judgment, that was definitely a dragon with firm will, strong demeanor, mighty power, and very high opinions, once having made a decision, he might not easily change it due to external thoughts.
"Simple."
The Blue Dragon leader bared his gigantic mouth, revealing coldly glinting, fierce fangs.
"What negotiations can’t solve, use a more direct approach."
"Claws, fangs! Along with Thunder and Storm!"
He valued practical interests and was not willing to easily go to war where the risk exceeded the rewards, wouldn’t rashly start an all-out war with another powerful dragon group.
However, he also highly valued the rules and dignity of the Dragon Group, which was the foundation of the Dominican Dragon Group standing to this day.
Regardless, those giant dragons that betrayed the clan must pay the price.
"I understand, Father."
Blue Dragon Zoraya nodded.
She no longer hesitated, soared into the sky, flying straight toward the Northwest Region under Ignas Dragon Group’s rule.
After continuing to talk with other dragon members to learn about the status quo of the Dragon Group.
The Dominican leader suddenly swung his huge wings branded with countless lightning textures, the deep blue dragon body soared into the sky, entering the clouds.
His figure flickers amidst the clouds.
At the same time, numerous silver serpents dancing wildly in the clouds converged toward his body, forming an almost substantive sphere of lightning centered around the Blue Dragon leader.
The majestic energy of Thunder was absorbed and inhaled by him.
The long-sleep related unstable aura of the Blue Dragon leader quickly consolidated and filled.
After a period of time.
Blue Dragon Zoraya did not meet the King of Iron as hoped.
Representing the Dominican Dragon Group, Iron Dragon Solrog did not take lightly, immediately notifying the King of Molten Iron situated in the Border Area.
Concerning another Dragon Group.
Whether negotiation or direct battle, ultimately it needs Galos to decide.
