Chapter 525: Chapter 521: White Dragon Legion Chapter 525: Chapter 521: White Dragon Legion Under the faint dragon prestige emanating from this still immature white dragon, humans and animals unconsciously kept their distance. Those powerless to move laid on the ground, for it made them feel a bit better.

Commoners and adventurers moved away while a group of people clad in white robes bearing a white dragon clutching a scroll badge on its chest greeted it. Their attitude was humble and respectful.

“Dragon Lord, do you need anything?”

“I’m hungry.” The White Dragon scratched its stomach, hesitated for a moment, and then expressed its need. Honestly, if it hadn’t failed to find any beasts to hunt in the sky, it wouldn’t have entered a human gathering place to look for food.

“Three frozen yaks, as decreed by our great Queen, will cost you three silver coins.” Soon, this group of robed humans seemingly in its service, brought forth three frost-covered yak corpses and placed them before the white dragon.

“Can’t you make it cheaper?” The white dragon complained indolently—this was the main reason it avoided human gathering places. It has to pay for its food!

“It’s the Queen’s decree. We, her humble servants, are powerless to change it!” The lead robe was humble and smiling. Still, the tone was firm, almost saying they would rather not give food to the White Dragon unless it paid up.

“It’s so expensive.” The White Dragon complained as it reluctantly fished out three silver coins from the gaps in its scales and handed them over to the dragon servants catering to its needs.

“How about it?” A short distance away, at the side window of the top floor of a three-story inn, Muria watched the astonished Demon Hunter Knight with amusement. “Seeing a White Dragon pay for food, it’s a first for you, isn’t it!”

“Indeed, this is the first time I’ve seen this.” Leon gaped at the white dragon tearing into the meat. His worldview received another severe shock.

“Well, what a coincidence; it’s also my first time.” Muria’s face showed astonishment: “Should I say, worthy of Clodia? She actually managed to do this.”

“Unbelievable.” Fiona commented.

“Incredible.” Hesel, the Silvermoon Elf, watched the dining white dragon, his eyes glinting. Most intelligent humanoid creatures dream of becoming a Dragon Knight.

“Not harassing civilians, obeying laws, paying for meals, do you think the guy who taught this White Dragon could be an evil dragon?” Muria looked at the Demon Hunter Knight and asked.

“It’s not an Evil Dragon.” Subconsciously, Leon shook his head. If not for its scales, which betrayed its race, he would believe this to be a Silver Dragon. Its elegant and calm eating demeanor was reminiscent only of a Silver Dragon.

“Well, that settles it.” Muria patted Leon’s shoulder, “Seeing is believing. Do you still want to join the Dragon Hunting Expedition?”

“The Ice Queen has not wantonly slaughtered humans, but when she attacked the Northern Four Nations, she caused at least two million human casualties. This number is what we found out ourselves—the actual casualties can only be higher, not lower.”

“Death is inevitably part of the process of conquest. It’s inevitable.”

“She attacked the human nations, overthrew the regimes of four countries, and I am a Demon Hunter Knight sworn to protect the human race. Repelling her and driving her out of human territories is my duty.”

“Leon, you need to understand, why do you, as a Demon Hunter Knight, fight these potent monsters?” Before Leon could answer, Muria continued, “Is it to maintain the rule of these corrupt rulers?”

“Of course not, I fight to protect humans.”

“And then let humans live better lives, right?”

The red-haired young man furrowed his brow, then nodded, “Exactly.”

“Then why are you fighting against the Ice Queen?” Muria asked, “Do you want to restore the four duchies? Let those poor commoners continue to lead a life of hardship? Allow those rulers, who have no regard for the poor, to continue oppressing the common people?”

“So you mean under the Ice Queen’s rule, humans may live a better life than before?”

“Of course, Clodia is an extraordinarily visionary White Dragon. She will definitely allow the humans under her rule to live a life that is better than before, even offering each human the opportunity to change their destiny through education.”

Muria said this in a calm tone. His bold predictions stemmed from his understanding of Clodia, as she was the dragon he raised.

“Through education, change destiny? Just like the humans in Senapus!” This time, Leon fell silent. He was familiar with Muria’s stance towards humans. Evil-doers would not be killed unless necessary, but would be punished with lifelong labor. The good-doers and those who obeyed the law could receive treatment that ordinary humans could hardly imagine.

Humans on Senapus, as long as they were not criminals, were free to study whatever they wanted, regardless of identity and status. Such tolerance and favor were indeed great, which was why Leon was willing to fight to the death for the survival of Senapus when Muria was asleep.

“She is my dragon. I know her best.”

“If the Frost Queen can allow her subjects to have the same living conditions as the humans on Senapus, I will use my Demon Hunter Sword to maintain her rule.”

“Teachable child.” Hearing the stubborn man finally changing his view, a gratified smile appeared on Muria’s face.

“I want to go to Frost City in person to see if the Frost Queen is as you said.”

“Sure, I’d like to meet her too.”

…

“I think we came to the wrong place. This city isn’t one for humans. Coming here to see how the Frost Queen rules over humans wasn’t thought through properly.” said Muria, standing with Fiona, Hesel, and Leon in front of the majestic ice-city. He looked up at the many hovering white dragons in the sky and the many monsters entering and exiting through the grand city gates. A playful expression was on his face. “However, since we’re already here, let’s go in and have a look!”

Just after his words, a pressure legend arose. It was so overwhelming that ordinary creatures could not help but palpitate. However, it did not have any effect. Whether it was the white dragons in the sky, the monsters that were defending the city, or even the creatures that were coming in and out of the city gates, none of them knelt down. It was as if they couldn’t feel the pressure at all.

“What a coincidence, we came across them.” Muria, looking at the seven floating ships appearing above the ice city, revealed a smile. “Leon, your long-awaited Dragon Hunting Squadron has arrived.”

“What is this?” Seeing seven floating ships emerging from the shattered space in the sky and the grand aura from each ship, Leon, the young man, showed a puzzled expression. “Is the dragon hunting squadron that the Northern Fifteen Nations spent two months assembling composed of only seven floating ships?”

“Isn’t that very normal?” Muria, looking at the simple formation over the Ice City, couldn’t help but smile. “Only forces above a royal status can control the technology to build floating ships. All the countries in the North are Duchies, coupled with the environmental factors, these countries are not very affluent. Being able to create seven floating ships is already good enough. The maintenance cost of floating ships is very high.”

The more Leon watched, the more speechless he became. He even felt a sense of pride as a person of Senapus. As a Demon Hunter Knight at the Soul Intent level, he could crush a Red Dragon of the same level after wearing his armor, which made him one of the pillars of Senapus.

So, if he went hunting, he could easily have twenty or thirty floating warships following him. The arrogant Red Dragon Cynthia, who proclaimed herself as the leader of the Punishment Legion, had already assembled a floating fleet of hundreds of ships on her own.

Comparing the difference, Leon was left with only one thought: the North is truly poor!

“Frost Queen, come out!” The Northern Fifteen Nations might be poor, but the seven legends that made up their hunting squadron were truly legendary. One of them, a middle-aged man dressed in hemp clothes and wielding a long sword, swung his sword down towards the city below, creating a magnificent sword aura.

“Is it just the seven of you?” The sword rainbow fell. Before it could reach the Ice City, traces of frost began to cover it. The Sword Rainbow dissipated into sparkles without causing any destruction.

Accompanied by this cold voice, a hundred-meter-long purely white Giant Dragon flew out of the Ice Palace in the center of the city. The visible cold air around it completely suppressing the human side just by its aura.

“What an arrogant White Dragon.” The Legendary Sword Saint who took the lead was so angry that he laughed. A legendary White Dragon was sufficient to be surrounded and killed by five well-coordinated legends of the same level. But now, seven legends, all of a higher level than hers, had descended, and she didn’t think it was enough. This dragon, how much did she look down on humans?

“This is my territory!” Clodia, with faint golden lights shining in her eyes, had an imperious demeanor that was impossible to ignore. As she spoke, hundreds of White Dragons flew out of the Ice City, joining the White Dragons already in the sky, forming a rigorous battle formation in just a few moments. The human legends didn’t even have time to react.

Roar! The strength of more than three hundred White Dragons converged and flowed into Clodia. The power of frost filled the air. A nearly three hundred meters long Ice Dragon, with Clodia at its core, appeared in the sky over the land she had just conquered, giving out a clear roar.

“The true usage of a Minion Army. Form battle formations, use the Army’s strength to enhance oneself, battle against higher levels. Standing on an iceberg, Muria looked at the gigantic White Dragon in the sky, admiration in his eyes. “Worthy of being an Academic Overlord, she formed a true Minion Army before I did. But she is a pure-blood White Dragon, naturally having an advantage over me.”
