Chapter 2305: Chapter 1280: The Giant Dragon’s Threat_2

The administrator raised his head and replied sharply, “Please, Your Excellency, do not forget that in any corner of this area, it is the rights the Bazaar Brotherhood has bestowed upon me.”

“That is indeed your right, but if you interfere with us, we will certainly not sit idly by.”

In the same deep voice, Reds inserted a trace of threat, “Your Shadow Market suddenly appeared here, wouldn’t it be meeting someone? Perhaps someone from the Human Clan attempting to step into the Outer Region.”

“Your Excellency, the Vanguard General must be joking. I am merely here at the Inverted Gorge looking for something.”

The administrator’s voice remained calm, showing no ripples of emotion.

“I hope so. You must know that this is the most crucial period we have had in centuries. Our king does not wish for any mistakes.”

Reds’ sharp dragon eyes glanced over the administrator’s body, observing the market for a moment, then said lightly, “If your Shadow Market is trying to play any tricks behind the scenes, in His Majesty’s wrath, anything could happen, even a deluge of fierce flames.”

“What do you mean by that, Your Excellency, Vanguard General?”

The administrator’s voice also grew colder, “You’ve threatened my marketplace companions first, preventing the market from opening for hundreds of years. Now you’re threatening us again?”

“Hehe, the administrator exaggerates. This is hardly a threat.”

Reds grinned, baring a row of sharp, chilling dragon teeth, smiling insincerely, “This is merely a warning from our king. You should know the weight of it; our king has never broken his word.”

“Then please inform your king that his worry is unnecessary.”

The administrator’s tone remained unperturbed, “Is there anything else you need?”

“That’s good. Don’t let me catch you; otherwise, the wrath of the Dragon Clan will burn everything to ashes.”

Reds snorted coldly, adding, “Especially humans, they are not far from destruction. I hope the administrator doesn’t bring disaster upon themselves.”

“What exactly are you trying to say, Your Excellency, Vanguard General?”

The administrator paused for a moment, unable to help but ask, “Humans reside in a small corner, no different in essence from those barbarians, always the subject of disdain among the Ten Thousand Clans. Could it be that you intend to bring fierce flames into the Human World?”

“Humans indeed are no different from ants. Attacking them would only demean our king’s status.”

Reds let out a scornful snort from his large nostril, responding, “But you’ve noticed, haven’t you? Humans have started targeting other ants in surrounding areas, seemingly intent on the Outer Region, which is simply delusional.”

“Moreover, even if humans have no intent on the Outer Region, our king doesn’t intend to spare them, because they once received help from a Dragon Rider, whose Mount Dragon is a thorn in our king’s side.”

“Previously, we were preparing for this crucial period and thus didn’t pay attention to humans, only occasionally surveying.”

“But now, as soon as this crucial period is over, our king will not spare humans. Those ants will be turned into nothingness by endless flames.”

Reds’ voice carried a hint of murderous intention, continuing, “Now you understand, don’t you? No one can touch the Dragon Clan’s reverse scale, not even a group of insignificant ants.”

“What a domineering approach. I hope the Red Dragon Clan will not lower their status before other Dragon Clans by targeting insignificant ants; it’s not something to be proud of.”

Upon hearing this, the administrator spoke nothing more, merely said goodbye before returning inside the market, the giant city gate quickly closing.

In the blink of an eye, the Shadow Market disappeared without a trace, leaving only Reds and the other dragons standing still.

“What a bunch of annoying fellows. Someday I’ll crush these guys’ outer shells and see what kind of tribe dares to stare directly at the Dragon Clan’s eyes.”

Reds spat, then spread his wings and flew away with the other Red Dragons.

When the gusts stirred by enormous dragon wings slowly faded, after a moment, Yonir stepped forward and respectfully saluted Leo Ray, “Reporting, Your Majesty, the Red Dragon group has flown far away.”

“What an irritating big group they are!”

Louise wrinkled her nose, looking angrily at Leo Ray, “Lord, I didn’t expect those arrogant fellows are still trying to act against the Human World!”

“It seems we have yet another reason to contend with the other side, to fight for survival.”

Leo Ray’s expression didn’t show much fluctuation, carefully reflecting on the information revealed in the opponent’s words just now.

Apart from the attempt to act against the Human World, the opponent also revealed a crucial piece of information, that being the “most crucial period” they mentioned.

Currently, the opposing side is in this period, that’s why they’re extremely cautious, not allowing any missteps.

And once this crucial period is over, the other side plans to act against humans, from which it’s clear that understanding the “most crucial period” they speak of is clearly very important.

Just as Leo Ray was thinking this, Red Night’s clear voice rang out, “I know what the opponent’s crucial period is about.”

“Very well, tell me when we return, but before that, there’s something else we need to do.”

Leo Ray looked at the Shadow Market’s invitation in his hand and spoke.

On the invitation, a new line of text had appeared: “Your Majesty, to avoid the Red Dragons’ suspicion, I am waiting for you at the Wind Sigh Hillock entrance.”

Leo Ray then set out with his subordinates, returning along the route, and soon arrived at the Wind Sigh Hillock, the place mentioned by the administrator, via Ice Stone City.

This was once the Snow Wolf Clan’s residence and also where Leo Ray wiped out two Half-Orc tribes, so it was obviously quite familiar.

In this desolate and desolate earth-toned area, Leo Ray quickly located the Shadow Market’s presence.

“I apologize, Your Majesty, earlier in the conversation with the Red Dragons, my tone regarding the Human World was a bit heavy. Please do not take offense.”

Upon their reunion, the administrator’s words were filled with regret.

“Administrator, Your Excellency, there is no need to blame yourself. Humans are indeed weak at the moment; you were merely stating facts.”

Leo Ray waved his hand, responding, “Moreover, Your Excellency is also trying to conceal our presence by intentionally distancing from humans, what’s wrong with that?”

At this point, Leo Ray’s words grew more formal, solemnly saying, “I clearly heard the Red Dragon’s threat earlier, which undoubtedly bodes ill for your Shadow Market. If you plan to withdraw, I will understand your concerns and will not linger.”

“Your Majesty underestimates us. While we are weak and unable to exert full strength outside the market, we will not bow to those aggressive and powerful Red Dragons; this is our last stand and pride.”

The administrator’s voice was filled with firmness, responding without hesitation, “Moreover, Your Majesty knows well, the way things are going, it is only a matter of time before our ruin; this is our last chance to reverse our fortunes.”

“So, please rest assured, Your Majesty, we will fully support you. Do not worry about us, just let us know if there’s anything we can do!”

Hearing the administrator’s resolute voice, Leo Ray first praised the other party a few times, then said, “To be honest, Your Excellency, I do have something I’d like your help with, which is crucial for our next step.”

Leo Ray proceeded to describe the situation to the administrator, regarding the issue of Ice Stone City and not being able to fully leverage divine favor outside of it.

“So that’s the situation; no wonder I haven’t seen Your Majesty’s divine favor,” acknowledged Yonir, stepping forward after a moment of the fading gusts from massive dragon wings.
