Given the prowess of the Six-winged Flame Demon, it shouldn’t have been easily controlled. It must have been worn down by the intense battle, its spirit relaxed after long combat, allowing the Evil-eye Tyrant to gain an advantage in the end.
Seeing that Richard was watching him, the sphere-like Evil-eye Tyrant showed a joyful smile, opening its only giant eye and baring its tooth-filled mouth. Its one-eyed tentacles also squirmed up and down in response.
"Freedom?" At this word, the Hell Black Dragons let out a peculiar noise altogether, clearly a sound of mockery.
"Can you persuade the Seven-Colored Dragon and the Fairy Dragon guarding the Dragon’s Tomb? I would like to hear what great suggestions you have!" The Hell Black Dragon Ronaldino asked in a provocative manner, its giant dragon eyes reflecting the unmistakable glee of a cat playing with a mouse.
"Richard! I can use the ’Emerald Dream’ to summon the strongest Magical Beast nearby to assist us in battle, we may still stand a chance!" Ruona said bitterly. She knew that Richard wouldn’t possibly abandon herself and Daisy, so she refrained from pretending any longer.
"Allow me to explain the current situation on the Aegean Continent to you all," Richard made a gesture towards Nana, then raised his voice towards the Hell Black Dragons in the sky: "Respected Hell Black Dragons, I believe you already know about the Demon Clan invasion ten thousand years ago, correct?"

After getting the affirmative answer from the Hell Black Dragons, Richard cleared his throat and boldly announced, "Powerful Hell Black Dragons, you probably do not know that when the Demon Clan invaded, the Surface Dragon Clan fought directly and suffered a terrible defeat. At its peak, the Demon Clan seized eighty percent of the Aegean Continent! Today I bring good news. The invasion of the Demon Clan, which occurs every ten thousand years, is fast approaching. If you go and ally with the powerful Demon Clan, you will surely be able to evade the retribution of the Seven-Colored Dragon and Fairy Dragon! I know that it is not a problem for you to truly leave the underground!"
"Are you suggesting that we, the proud Hell Black Dragons, submit to the Demon Clan and become their mounts?" Ronaldino immediately rejected it, "That’s impossible! Your suggestion is idiotic, Beamon. I think you are insulting the dignity of the Dragon Clan."
"You don’t have to become the Demon Clan’s mounts, just sign a pact of mutual defense with them! My respected Hell Black Dragon, Ronaldino!" Richard suggested a compromise.
"Are you sure it will work?" The Black Dragon Clan leader seemed a bit tempted. It was clear that the desire of these Hell Black Dragons to return to the surface was equally as strong as the Drow and Moore.
"Within a month, the Demon Clan is sure to invade the entire Aegean Continent. By then, amidst the chaos of war, even the Dragon Clan’s foothold will be shaky. Who will have the time to worry about you!’" Richard started to bluff, figuring that if he could trick them for just one day, they could slip away tomorrow.
Those around him felt their eyebrows twitch in surprise. They didn’t expect the Beamon Overlord of Faelor to actually persuade the creatures of his own continent to rely on invaders from another world. If applied to the Dragon Clan, this idea would be considered traitorous. No matter how much internal conflict the Aegean Continent experiences, once the foreign Demon Clan attempts to invade, all Aegean Wise Races, whether evil or good, are united against it.
"We refuse! No matter what, the Hell Black Dragons have not yet reached a point where they need to betray their own dignity!" The Black Dragon Clan Leader, Ronaldino, and the other Black Dragons discussed for a long time before firmly giving their answer.
"Damn it! Then go and fight with the Seven-Colored and Fairy Dragons on the surface! Wipe out whoever tries to negotiate with you! What’s so great about picking on two isolated Fairy Dragons!" The team spoke casually, "More than ten thousand years have passed, who still remembers the issue of imprisoning you guys! Come on, if the ancestors were villains, does that mean the descendants are too? You can’t blame an entire species for the crimes of a few!"
Seeing that the Hell Black Dragons were not exploding in anger, Richard quickly took advantage of the situation, "Actually, the Dragons on the Aegean Continent are becoming rare. Your arrival will bring a new situation to the continent. The inevitable invasion of the Demon Clan will plunge the entire continent into a mess. At that time, who will care about you... it’s hard to say...."
Richard continued cunningly, "....Even if the two descendants of the Holy Giant Dragons from Dragon City come seeking trouble, so what? Since the mistakes of the past were committed by the ancestors, as descendants, you should not bear such a heavy burden! I believe the Seven-Colored Dragon and the Fairy Dragon are reasonable creatures. As long as things are thoroughly explained, since everyone is of the same race, even if you can’t beat the two descendants of the Holy Giant Dragons, at most you’d be banished back underground. Will they want your lives for no reason? Taking the lives of twelve giant dragons in vain, even Dragon God Haibo would be enraged, wouldn’t he? Rather than living your entire lives in this gloomy place, you might as well take this opportunity to travel and take a try!"
"Yes, yes.... The sins of the ancestors should not be borne by the descendants!" Daisy and Ruona knew well how to cooperate with Richard, one singing and the other responding, taking over the conversation.
