Chapter 333: Chapter 328: Taking Advantage of War Chapter 333: Chapter 328: Taking Advantage of War “What are you thinking about, Muria?”

“My maternal grandmother to you is …”
“Don’t overthink it, Muria.” Bronia solemnly said, “I’ve been very grateful to your maternal grandmother. If it hadn’t been for her to take me in, I might have died in the wilderness at any time, just like most of the Five Colored Dragons.

Most of my accomplishments today are thanks to your grandmother. Without her, I wouldn’t be here.”

“…” Hearing Bronia’s humble words, Muria rubbed his nose. It certainly didn’t seem like something a normal Red Dragon would say.

At this moment, Muria had a kind of admiration for his maternal grandmother. An authentic Red Dragon had been raised into a Benevolent one.

As an Ancient Red Dragon under a joint attack from human countries, honestly, this level of suffering was quite frustrating for a dragon.

A normal Ancient Red Dragon, if it became a lord dragon, would definitely be feared and make those around it tremble. These rulers would be on tenterhooks even when sleeping.

Fact proved that in this world, if you were too kind or too low-key, it didn’t usually end well.

Because some guys would see your low-key behavior as weakness, and then they’d think about how to oppress you. The Ancient Red Dragon Bronia had, since making a home in Zaiychek, committed no aggression towards the surrounding countries. Such kind behavior even earned her the title of “Forest Creator”, a title only granted to the Lawful Good Alignment.

So low-key, so mild. But because of Bronia’s powerful strength, her forces gained increasing respect, and due to the rich mineral resources formed from a volcanic eruption in her territory, it aroused the greed and envy of the surrounding human countries.

“Bronia, do you need my help to repel those humans attacking you?” Muria asked as he looked at this “benevolent” Red Dragon. His Staff of the End had fused with “Dragon’s Command”, granting him the ability to summon Metallic Ancient Dragons.

Well, of course, after summoning the Ancient Dragons, he had to provide a sufficient reward. If you wanted other dragons’ help, you must pay. This was an unwritten rule among the Metallic Dragon Clan. It would even be difficult to pay other Dragon Clans for their help.

“You help me repel humans?” Hearing Muria’s words, Bronia froze for a moment, then burst into a great laugh.

“Descendant of Yarista, I appreciate your kind intentions, but they’re just humans. I don’t need your help.”

Because of her strong physique, Bronia’s laughter was like a dragon’s roar, making people’s ear drums hum. Troy, who was squatting on the side listening to the gossip, couldn’t help but cover his ears with his two white claws. Looking at the Red Dragon laughing in front of her, shock waves could be seen at the top of the wide-open dragon mouth with the naked eye.

“The Platinum Dragon God Bahamut has given me the power to summon metallic dragons.” Muria said seriously, looking at Bronia, “As long as I want, I can summon all the Metallic Ancient Dragons on this subcontinent to help me.”

“The highest level of the Dragon Clan Covenant?” Hearing that Muria had such a terrifying ability, Bronia however, was not moved. She had seen way too much in her first half of her life following Yarista.

Bronia appeared indifferent, yawning, “I remember your grandfather also had similar abilities, but he wouldn’t summon Ancient Dragons unless it was the last minute, because the price was too high.

Muria, you may be able to summon all of the Metallic Ancient Dragons on this subcontinent, but can you afford the corresponding reward?”

Hearing Bronia’s joking tone, Muria pulled a face, “The money it takes to ask twenty Ancient Dragons to make a move, I can afford it.”

“Muria, you are so rich?” Auston, who was soaking in the lava pool, looked at Muria in astonishment. He knew since childhood that Muria was very rich, but he didn’t know exactly how rich. Today, he finally got to know.

“You’re willing to spend money on twenty Ancient Dragons to help me?” Hearing Muria’s words, Bronia leaned down, interested, and asked.

“Just three human kingdoms, hiring five Ancient Dragons would be more than enough,” Muria replied. As he spoke, the Staff of the End appeared in his hand. He wasn’t joking. As soon as Bronia nodded, he would immediately summon five Ancient Dragons.

“Don’t summon, I haven’t weakened to the point of needing the Metallic Dragons’ help.” Seeing the staff suddenly appearing in Muria’s hand, Bronia’s eyelid twitched, and she quickly stopped Muria’s action.

“Don’t you need help?”

“I don’t. Those three human kingdoms combined have a total of just seven legends, not even a single high-level legend. Even if they are combined, I can easily defeat them. Don’t underestimate me. When I was young, I participated in Abyss Blood War.”

“If you can easily solve it, why did you allow these three countries to invade your territory?” Muria was somewhat puzzled.

“Ever since I took in a Beastman tribe that had made a great journey to pledge loyalty to me, more and more monster tribes have migrated from various places on Osroni subcontinent to pledge allegiance to me.

Not only that, but many Five Colored Dragons have also traveled to pledge allegiance to me because of my reputation. Since I had set a precedent before, for those who came to pledge allegiance to me, regardless of their race, I took them all in.

However, this move caused a great deal of chaos in my territory. There were too many monster races pledging allegiance to me. Because of differences in their ways of living, conflicts often broke out, leading to bloodshed. And I had no idea how to deal with such matters.

This chaos was alleviated half a year ago. Your mother, Atris, sent me six baby dragons, especially that Red Dragon named Renata. As soon as she arrived in my territory, she demonstrated extraordinary management skills.

Under her management and mediation, the situation in my territory improved, but was still unsatisfactory.

But luckily, because one of the gray Dwarf tribes who pledged allegiance to me found a large amount of Extraordinary Metal Ore in my territory, it aroused the greed of the humans and made them declare war on me.

When I first heard this news, I planned to directly eliminate the ignorant rulers of these three kingdoms. But the little guy stopped my actions. She suggested we use this war to integrate the monster clans under my banner.”

“Use the war to integrate?” Muria was greatly shocked. This little mother dragon who seemed gentle to him was quite ruthless when it came to other matters.

From a big picture point of view, her suggestion was not wrong, but when it comes to actual execution, it would likely result in at least a million casualties, with scenes of piles of corpses and rivers of blood.

“When do you plan to end this war?”

“When Renata, the one you raised, completes the integration of the monster clans under my command, according to her thoughts, all conflicts among the monster clans will be resolved in this war.”
