Chapter 647 - 401: Decision—Galos’s Confidence and Insurance
"The Mushroom King’s territory has been attacked, and war has broken out."
Upon hearing the urgent transmission from Iron Dragon Solrog, the eyes of the Red Iron Dragon slightly contracted, flickering with a thoughtful glow.
The Mushroom King’s territory is vast, occupying almost the entire southern region of the Sel Wilderness.
And the south is precisely the area closest to the borders of the Southern Countries, bearing the brunt of any attack.
If any kingdom decides to carry out a so-called clearing plan against the wilderness, the Mushroom King’s domain would inevitably be the first target.
Moreover.
With the surface covered, the ever-extending fungal mats, and a multitude of creatures controlled by fungal spores, moving like the undead... From the surface threat and visual impact, the Mushroom King is also the most urgent target for elimination among the several Regional Kings.
In previous internal discussions, Galos had already anticipated this point.
Therefore, the Molten Iron Tribe had long prepared, deploying numerous reconnaissance followers around the Mushroom King’s territory.
Among them are intelligent scouts skilled in hiding and assessing, as well as many tamed or utilized flying birds and beasts, all for precaution.
Once the Mushroom King’s territory encounters a large-scale attack, the Molten Iron Tribe can receive a warning at the first moment.
In terms of intelligence gathering and layout, the Molten Iron Tribe has always been the most thorough among the Regional Kings.
And the early preparations have finally paid off at this moment.
"Front-line scouts have personally witnessed sword light tearing through the sky, soaring straight into the clouds, even shattering them into a massive void."
The voice of Iron Dragon Solrog grew heavier.
He added, "Judging by this display... I believe there is a high probability that a Legendary has personally taken action."
The Regional Kings of the wilderness are not easy to deal with, and for those Human Kingdoms to handle them steadily and efficiently, sending Legendary powerhouses almost becomes the only choice.
Legendary... Chewing on this term, the Red Iron Dragon felt uneasy.
Only a Legendary can contend with a Legendary.
A Legendary is difficult to defeat.
All beneath a Legendary are mere mortals.
......
Such categorizations echoed in his mind, making him feel tense, anxious, and a sense of life-threatening danger, his gaze turned sharp suddenly.
Such emotions had not surfaced in Galos for years.
This matter is not trivial.
Solrog quickly connected Iron Dragon Gordon and Red Dragon Samantha into the mental network, summarizing the situation as quickly as possible.
"Should we immediately go to support the Mushroom King?"
Then, Iron Dragon Solrog spoke rapidly: "If the Southern Regional King is swiftly defeated, the next target could very likely be our Central Region. If several Regional Kings could temporarily join forces, perhaps we could buy some time and jointly resist the Legendary’s offensive."
Galos suppressed the surge of thoughts in his heart, his massive head slightly shaking.
He said, "Solrog, you’re being a bit hasty again."
"Rushing to ally with other Regional Kings now holds no substantial meaning."
Hearing this, Iron Dragon Solrog took a deep breath, gradually calming his agitated thoughts, slowly regaining his usual composure and rationality.
Compared to Galos, in the face of a huge crisis, he still lacked some calmness.
"You’re right, I was indeed a bit rash just now."
Solrog admitted.
He calmed down to think carefully, realizing there’s no need to ally with other Regional Kings.
Not to mention whether the Regional Kings can truly set aside past grievances and unite completely against external threats.
The most important thing is that there exists an insurmountable chasm between the Legendary and non-Legendary.
The strength of the Legendary cannot be resisted by simply banding together several non-Legendary powerhouses.
If sheer numbers alone could take down a Legendary, then this life threshold, which has troubled countless heroes and even requires long years for dragons to build up, would not be so steadfast and despair-inducing.
"The power of the Legendary is undeniable, but our Dragon Group is by no means weak!"
The fierce voice of Red Dragon Samantha rang out in the mental network: "Just like when we jointly hunted Gorsas before, gathering the power of the Dragon Group for an encirclement might very well enable us to slay a Legendary together!"
"No, Samantha, this situation is completely different from when we hunted Gorsas."
Solrog immediately dismissed this overly optimistic idea, rationally saying: "Firstly, we no longer have precious magic items like the ’Gladiatorial Array Plate’ that can restrict actions, and even if we did, they couldn’t trap a Legendary."
"Moreover, they’re not coming alone, they have a fully organized legion accompanying them."
A Legendary powerhouse leading a legion is much more dangerous than the lone Red Dragon Gorsas of the past.
At this moment, the calm voice of the Red Iron Dragon sounded again: "Immediately dispatch more elite scouts and use all available surveillance means to keep an eye on every movement in the Mushroom King’s territory."
Solrog immediately responded: "Understood!"
After a pause, he asked: "Then, do we need to simultaneously summon all the Great Lords and the entire Dragon Group into a state of readiness? Or... should we prepare to evacuate the wilderness if necessary?"
The Red Iron Dragon did not answer immediately.
This is a major strategic decision enough to affect the tribe’s future destiny, and even his own path, so it must be made with utmost caution.
At the same time, Iron Dragon Gordon, who had been silent in the mental network, suddenly spoke, bringing unexpected information.
"I’ve just informed Alina of the general situation and asked her for relevant intelligence."
