"I’m not interested in that. If you’re looking for a suitable opponent, I can recommend one who’s from your clan."
Tidel refused Noah’s challenge request without hesitation.
Amid the confused gaze of the Golden Dragon, the new king, not yet crowned, began to explain,
"It is an Abnormal Dragon that emerged and gradually rose up during the hellish disaster!"
Along with Tidel’s explanation, the flames already blazing in Noah’s eyes suddenly burned even more fiercely.
In the hellish disaster that ravaged nearly half of the Eastern Territory, when faced with the invading Devil Army, some legends chose to flee, but many forces opted for fierce resistance.
Because devils are rational hellish beings, when facing a force too difficult to conquer, devils will weigh the costs and benefits, making compromises, and will bypass particularly hard targets.
The coalition of legends assembled by the Augustus family provoked the frenzied targeting and malice of the Devil Army because they were the largest resistance alliance in the Eastern Territory and the most threatening group to the Gate of Hell.
Apart from them, on the vast lands of the Eastern Territory, there were many resistance forces, most of which belonged to humanoid races, but there were exceptions.
For instance, there was a flourishing forest initially ruled by an adult Green Dragon from the Dragon Clan, which was adept at management, turning this forest into its own kingdom.
However, unfortunately, due to the racial habits of the Green Dragon, this adult Green Dragon met an unforeseen downfall, and everything it painstakingly managed and accumulated has now become a wedding dress for others.
Greed, which seizes everything, is a nature engraved in the Dragon Clan’s bloodline, while conspiracy and deceit belong to the Green Dragons, and these insidious dragons perfectly inherited this aspect from their creator.
However, regretfully, although that malicious ancient Dragon God gave the Green Dragons exceptional wisdom and talent for crafting conspiracies, he did not bestow them with corresponding physical bodies.
Among the Colorful Dragon Clan, Green Dragons rank third. Although they are significantly stronger than Black Dragons and White Dragons, they are far weaker than Red Dragons and Blue Dragons.
Although weak in strength, Green Dragons’ craving for territory and wealth is no less than any other dragon, perhaps even more so.
Because many Green Dragons, after becoming adults and possessing sufficient strength, choose to seize a forest and become a Dragon Lord. To expand and develop their force, the Green Lord Dragons who gradually slow in growth and nearly cease in power increase will choose to collect a large number of dragon eggs.
Priority is given to the same type of dragon eggs, but for the extremely ambitious Green Dragons, even dragon eggs from other species are acceptable.
Thus, among the Green Dragons, there evolved a highly admirable tradition, which would earn the Dragon God’s praise: collecting dragon eggs abandoned by other irresponsible Colorful Dragons, hatching, and raising them.
However, this raising is not out of kindness, as Green Dragons have none of that; it is purely for profit and leverage.
Any dragon raised and hatched by a Green Dragon, even a fellow Green Dragon, would be forced to sign strict contracts, effectively becoming a slave to this "kindhearted" Green Dragon, working tirelessly for its profit.
In the Eastern Territory, just outside the former borders of the United Kingdom, in a primitive jungle, there was a hiding adult Green Dragon, who adopted many abandoned young Colorful Dragons, including a considerable number of Red Dragons and Blue Dragons.
From this behavior, one could see how this relatively low-key and unknown Green Dragon harbored an incredibly strong ambition.
"Wait a minute, is this Green Dragon just outside the former kingdom’s border?"
"Yeah, do you know her?"
"No, I originally had a chance, but unfortunately missed it."
The more Noah listened, the more familiar it sounded because he remembered when he was pioneering Elidis Mountain, he had once scared away a Green Dragon and failed to catch up to it. Judging from the distance, nine times out of ten, it was this Dragon Mother.
Just didn’t expect, after more than twenty years, to hear news of her again as being overthrown by her "foster child." It sounds dramatic and comical.
A Green Dragon skilled in conspiracy and deception, possessing an absolute age advantage, being overthrown by a Red Dragon it raised; it sounds like a joke.
Green Dragons have a very mature process for adopting and utilizing dragons of their own kind. Due to having the age advantage, theoretically, even the strongest-blooded Red Dragons cannot surpass the Dragon Mother who adopted them.
But theory is always just theory, reality sometimes defies logic. The Colorful Dragon Clan, with a base number more than ten times that of the Metallic Dragon Race, naturally produced special Abnormal Dragon talents that achieve more outstanding accomplishments than their peers.
Facing these dragons that might threaten their status, Green Dragons can foresee crises in advance and handle them in various ways, including but not limited to, assigning difficult tasks to exhaust them completely, finally granting freedom, or being more vicious and killing them in advance.
Generally speaking, even if a genius or an oddity appeared among the adopted dragons, experienced Green Dragons could handle them well.
But now, a supposedly experienced adult Green Dragon was overthrown, and by a Red Dragon, known for its mindlessness, no less.
