Chapter 706
Garan Continent. The Central Mountains.
Dragoncliff.
As the center of the entirety of Garan, the Dragoncliff was undoubtedly isolated from the rest of the world!
Even when curious elves wanted to find the Dragoncliff, they would first have to traverse countless mountains and hills and pass through the territories and dens of many powerful magical beasts. That was why the existence of the Dragoncliff was only a beautiful legend in the hearts of most elves. Most of them had no chance of laying eyes upon it.
Naturally, the powerful military might of the Dragoncliff meant that they did not require the protection of the elves. A such, when Thunder Dragon Arms flared his broad wings and soared toward the Dragoncliff, he immediately incited commotion and chaos among the dragon flight.
The so-called Dragoncliff was just the massive caves that had been excavated into the towering cliffs.
As gregarious forest dragons, the green dragons liked to place their den in towering cliffs located in the center of vast forests. This way, they could prevent thieves and burglars from setting their sights on their hoard while also providing the flight with plenty of quality food.
The forest dragons comprising the green and emerald dragons could be considered the only dragon tribes in the entirety of the Faen Plane. Apart from that, multi-headed lizards and serpents also lived within some damp and dark swamps. These creatures also possessed some degree of dragon bloodline.
All of these tasks would be delegated to the dragonborn servants. All they needed to do was snore and sleep. They would be able to feast as they wished when they woke up later, then take the time to enjoy the ‘exotic beauties’ offered up by their subjects.
Such a leisurely life might have appeared in the dreams of the Faen dragons countless times, but in reality, they were only ordinary members of the forest dragons. They still needed to sharpen their fangs continually and hone their hunting techniques, then use their hard work to exchange for ‘meager’ rewards from the forest elves.
Comparison only served to infuriate!
All the young emerald and green dragons couldn’t help but start dreaming of life in Lance when they heard Third Grade Thunder Dragon Arms proudly describe each and every scene of his daily life.
The older dragons might have some desires for such a world, but they had experienced all sorts of things throughout their lives. They were somewhat doubtful of the words that came out of the mouth of this fellow that had appeared out of nowhere.
If Lance was truly as amazing as he described, wouldn’t it be alright for him to hole up in there and enjoy his life? For what purpose had he traveled tens of thousands of kilometers and passed through a planar barrier just to come here to Faen?
As for the glorious light of the Great Dragon God that Arms kept mentioning? The elder dragons didn’t believe a single word of it.
The Dragon God was indeed a great existence!
It was the existence of the Dragon God that had allowed the dragons to become a dominant species that no one dared to trifle with.
Yet, as small dragons of a rural plane, the absence or presence of the Dragon God’s light represented no difference to their lives. Why should they trouble themselves under such circumstances to pursue some radiance of the Dragon God?
Still, such narrow and limited thinking was fated never to be openly expressed to the rest of the tribe.
That was why the two Fourth Grade emerald dragons could not publicly expel the Third Grade thunder dragon, despite their overwhelming superiority in strength.
It had been only a brief moment, but the Third Grade thunder dragon had already roused the spirits and ambitions of many of the young green dragons. His proposition also moved several of the young emerald dragons.
In the end, Arms took out his trump card– the Dragon’s Pact written full of the cursed vows of the dragons.
Though these green dragons weren’t of the same line as the green dragons that had written the Dragon’s Pact, the green dragon’s aura within the pact was the same. With this pact–that could well be said to be an ace in the hole–revealed, the Third Grade thunder dragon decided to just publicly recruit volunteers and mercenaries that were willing to return to Lance along with him.
The price of recruitment that Arms offered was so generous that several of the emerald dragons were eager to go as well.
At this point, the Fourth Grade emerald dragons had no choice but to furiously expel the thunder dragon, even at risk of ruining their friendly relations. What the tribe leader of the emerald dragons never expected was the immense falling out that this Third Grade thunder dragon would cause.
With Third Grade Emerald Dragon Iritina in the lead, eleven other dragons requested permission to leave for the wondrous plane of Lance along with the thunder dragon. Included among them was the Second Grade Green Dragon Ohgu.
Eleven dragons. This…this included almost one-third of all of the forest dragons on Faen.
The Fourth Grade emerald dragon tribe leader immediately flew into a rage. He was prepared to use martial prowess to chase away the thunder dragon and suppress the disagreement within the tribe. However, incited dragon hearts were not that easy to soothe.
After a brief clash, Third Grade thunder dragon escaped the dragoncliff, wounded and injured. A sizeable flight of young dragons packed their belongings and took their hoards with them as they left after the thunder dragon.
An unbelievable split had appeared within the forest dragons of Faen!
