Chapter 335: Chapter 330: War Reparations Chapter 335: Chapter 330: War Reparations The battle between Bronia and the human legends substantially benefited Muria. This Red Dragon, who had experienced countless battles in her youth, never gave her opponents the chance to strike from the moment combat began.

The four low-level Legends couldn’t even attack before being ruthlessly beaten by the Red Dragon, Bronia. It was evident how terrifying a Red Dragon could be when it adeptly utilized space magic and boasted an unyielding physique.

In situations where the area could not be locked, formations meant nothing to Bronia. She could appear wherever she wanted and deliver life-changing blows to these human legends.

None of the seven human Legends would have survived if they hadn’t transcended mortality.

As for the Gold-Rank and Soul Intent Rank individuals who hurriedly flew over, they didn’t even register on Bronia’s radar. Their attacks meant nothing to her, and yet, her attacks were lethal to them.

In the Erathia World, aside from god-like beings, the strength of a Red Dragon trumped anything else.

According to the original plan of the seven human legends, they aimed to crush Bronia and her Monster Clans with their military forces and then siege Bronia herself with the help of these forces.

However, they did not anticipate that Bronia, so recklessly daring and powerful, would storm their military camp without preparations, and mercilessly attack them under the watchful gaze of countless soldiers.

Those beneath the rank of Legend would barely make a dent in a battle against a Legend. However, given enough numbers, they could impact the outcome of the battle between Legends.

But when the gap in power becomes too large, the impact of an army becomes insignificant. Clearly, the number of Gold-Rank and Soul Intent-Rank warriors from the three great kingdoms could not compensate for the gap between the seven human legends and Bronia.

What followed was simple. Bronia overpowered and defeated the strongest forces of the three kingdoms. The outcome of the war was settled, and the three kingdoms of Nukaran, Nososi, and Mozeli surrendered.

If Bronia had killed the seven human legends, these three kingdoms would have essentially been doomed. Without the support of a Legend, they could hardly call themselves kingdoms.

However, Bronia did not kill them. It would be too tough. There is a distinction between defeating and killing, and she most likely could kill around half of the legends, but three or four of them would certainly escape.

If by then, the legends of the defeated kingdoms harbored enormous resentment, Bronia wouldn’t mind personally, but she needed to consider her Monster Clans. Dealing with a Legendary retaliation could be quite a headache.

Moreover, these seven human legends did not actually plan to kill Bronia. Their ultimate goal was only to remove her. Satisfied with such meager goals, the three kingdoms did not justify Bronia resorting to killer strokes.

However, there would still be a need for compensation. As defeated nations, Nukaran, Nososi, and Mozeli signed a series of unequal treaties at the negotiation table.

In addition to compensating Bronia with Elemental Crystals of an overall value of approximately 210,000 cubic feet, the three kingdoms were also to tribute Zaiychek with food, slaves, metal and other resources amounting to the value of approximately 3,000 cubic feet of Elemental Crystals annually.

Throughout the negotiation process, although Muria was present, he did not participate. He simply watched as Bronia drained the three human kingdoms dry, turning them into Zaiychek’s blood bank without any intention of pleading on their behalf.

Regarding the three kingdoms, Muria had only one comment: they have brought it upon themselves. They initiated a war unprovoked, and now that they had lost, they had to pay the price. That was only fair.

…In the Obsidian Palace standing in the middle of a magma lake, Muria watched Bronia, who was delightedly rolling atop a mound of gold coins, with some puzzlement. He couldn’t understand why a powerful ancient Red Dragon would show interest in gold, which was basically useless to her.

“Muria, you and your grandmother are so similar. However, she only took me in, while you have raised over a hundred dragons. You are preparing for the Path to Epic, aren’t you?”

Hearing the words of Bronia, who was cheerfully rolling around in her mountain of gold coins, Muria felt a bit embarrassed. Initially, he did not want to raise dragons, it was the arrangement of the Golden Dragon Mother. At that time, he didn’t even know about the existence of Epics.

“Hmm…roughly…” Muria responded somewhat awkwardly. Knowing the way to becoming an Epic, he had indeed put much more effort into these dragons, hoping them to be his future support.

“Bronia, the war is over, I can take all my dragons back, right?”

“Technically, I shouldn’t be holding onto the Giant Dragons that you have spent your energy raising.” Bronia who was rolling on the mound of gold stood up and looked down at Muria with a grin, “But now, I want to ask you for a favor – leave me one dragon.”

“Auston?” Muria glanced at the skinny Red Dragon picking up the coins scattered around when Bronia rolled, and his lips twitched, he felt utterly embarrassed witnessing this.

“Him?” Bronia shot a look at Auston, her expression clearly exhibiting disgust, “He’s already useless now. You can take him anytime. I need you to leave Renata.”

“Renata?” Muria’s brows skinched together. A Red Dragon with outstanding leadership talents was extremely rare and valuable in the Dragon Race. He was hesitant to leave her with Bronia.

“I apologize. I don’t think I’ve made myself clear.” Seeing Muria in a dilemma, Bronia scratched her head, “I just want Renata to assist me with managing Zaiychek for the time being, I lack the energy and time for that aspect. If you require her at any point, you can call her back.”

“Temporary management?” A surprised look played across Muria’s face, “Just like during wartime? You want Renata to manage all Monster Clans that wish to follow you?”

“Absolutely!” Bronia moved a bunch of gold coins under her chin and rested her fierce and majestic Dragon Head on them, “I’m not capable of managing them. Without Renata, it won’t be long before they fall back into their chaotic state, and I don’t want that.”

“…” Muria kept silent without making a sound, he needed some time to think. This proposal didn’t seem like a bad idea.

“Muria, Renata has exceptional leadership and management skills, do you have the space for her to display these talents now? Taking her away now would mean a waste of her talents.”

“Let her choose on her own then!” After a moment’s hesitation, Muria said, “No matter what choice she makes, I will not interfere and I will support her.”
