Don't Mess with That Dragon

Chapter 058: The Great Summoning


The young white dragons didn't have Austin's strength, and their Ice Breath wasn't very powerful either.

But after all, it was the Frost Cold Current. When clusters of frost breath fell into the rapidly sweeping sea of fire, the fire, forcibly cooled, ceased to explode, and the spread of the flames slowed down.

With the efforts of Austin and those few young white dragons, the fierce raging fire was finally controlled.

At least the fires around the Dragon Nest Territory had been gradually extinguished.

As for the parts of the Forest Land dozens or even hundreds of miles away, Austin could only admit his helplessness.

Anyway, when the fire on that side spreads to Huang Mountain, highlands, deserts, or various fuel-deficient terrains, as long as the explosive phenomenon halts, the next heavy rain, or when encountering a Great Divine Power User, it will eventually be extinguished.

For the Dragon Nest Tribe to survive such a dire situation, even Austin considered it a stroke of luck.

Fortunately, he had devoured the Frost Law of the Frost Giant leader earlier; otherwise, under this terrible forest fire, they might have suffered heavy losses.

Although Austin didn't know how much of the Forest Land this fire had consumed, given such terrifying strength, he feared it wouldn't be a small amount.

The creatures dead or injured in this fire were countless.

"Great chaos is coming."

As the fire near the territory was controlled, Austin flew to the top of the mountain, gazing at the charred earth ahead, mutteringly speaking to himself.

The casualties of this fire were undoubtedly huge.

Especially for the Beastmen living in the Forest Land; under such fires, perhaps only one in ten might survive.

A shadow flashed across Austin's eyes.

Considering the prior climatic event, could this fire be a strategy by the core area's Beastman Royal Court to cause severe damage to the Allied Forces?

A single fire wiped out an untold number of beastmen, nearly cutting off the Allied Forces' source of cannon fodder.

Any way one looks at it, it benefits the Beastman Royal Court.

"Those guys..."

First, the zombie undead, and then this fire.

The number of living beings exterminated could be counted in the tens of millions!

What exactly are the pure-blooded Beastmen doing?

According to the Elf Mother Tree, the pure-blooded Beastmen were once created as war machines by the Arcane Mages to control the Multi-universe, and the Half-Beastman were the failed experiments during that process.

Having inherited the legacy of the Arcane Mages, what is their purpose in acting like this?

Austin fell into contemplation.

But clearly, he couldn't figure out the answer.

So, he could only give up thinking about it.

"Such weather-changing weapons are just too unreasonable... The situation has grown more complex; never mind what they intend to do. For now, I'll refrain from involvement. The Gate of Truth, I'll talk about it later."

Austin sighed deeply.

Although the core secrets were very enticing to him.

Yet, given such an intricate situation, possibly manipulated from behind by Divine beings, he thought it wise not to rashly involve himself.

Even if it was painful to accept, it was the only way.

However, things never go as one wishes.

Just as the Dragon Nest Tribe was busy with the aftermath of the fire and Austin was preparing for another bout of dormancy.

The Allied Forces' great enlistment began.

This time, it was a call to arms for all powerful beings in the Kawa Great Forest, even Austin couldn't evade despite Celestial Dragon Island backing him.

The massive fire consuming half of the Kawa Great Forest also took with it more than half the beastmen of the Forest Land.

This resulted in the Allied Forces being unable to gather enough Beastman cannon fodder to send to the front.

In fact, the Beastman cannon fodder, after a brutal war of attrition, had long lost the courage to fight.

This fire completely cut off the Allied Forces' vast source of cannon fodder.

But fortunately, at the same time, this fire also indirectly indicated that the Beastman Royal Court was likely reaching the end of its rope, nearing its final phase.

Thus, the Allied Forces forcibly issued a massive enlistment order to the entire Kawa Great Forest and the eight great duchies on the human frontier.

Warriors of Gold Level or higher, including the Legendary and Half-Legendary, were all within the scope of the call-up.

Of course, summoning the Legendary was not simply a matter of an order, as beings standing at the world's pinnacle deserve certain respect.

As for the actual operations and the internal secret dealings, these were beyond Austin's knowledge.

Precisely because these Legendary beings united, this large-scale enlistment was one that even Austin couldn't escape.

This was an "invitation" impossible to avoid.

Before this, several Half-Legendary beings disobeyed the enlistment order and were directly killed by a few Legendaries.

The nature of the interests at play remained unknown to outsiders.

But at this moment, even Legendaries with past grievances united.

Their imposing presence dominated the skies over the Kawa Great Forest like Hell, and the nearby eight great duchies felt this immense pressure.

This was likely the Allied Force's final effort, an all-out war.

Two years of stalemated battles had given those beings a rough understanding of the Beastman Royal Court's true strength.

This was the final blow to bury the remnants of the former Beastman Empire, and the turmoil this war would stir up would be unprecedentedly powerful.

...

Within the Dragon Nest Tribe, the leaders gathered together,

the atmosphere was solemn.

"Vini, manage the tribe well with everyone while I'm away... Maintain a conservative development approach."

Up high, Austin's thunderous voice delivered indisputable orders.

After Austin finished speaking, Vini hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and asked:

"Your Highness, for this expedition, do you really not need us to accompany you?"

Austin shook his head.

"No need, you all won't be of much help this time, and thankfully they don't thoroughly understand your true strength. Otherwise, you might drag me down on the battlefield."

"Don't overthink it. I'm just going there to make up the numbers. The real fighting probably won't involve me."

Indeed, for those of Gold Level and higher, they weren't ordinary beastmen who could be used as cannon fodder willy-nilly.

The Allied Force's call-up was half coercion, half enticement.

Those who show up but don't exert much effort won't likely be critiqued; many might have such intentions.

The Allied Forces, regarding this war, wouldn't truly place their hopes on those forcibly enlisted.

Austin and those also forcibly recruited were mostly for numbers and to boost morale.

After all, they weren't subordinates of the Allied Forces, nor did they have the same relationship as nobles and vassals. This forced enlistment had broken the rules of Seta Continent.

As for the few Half-Legendary beings killed as an example, there were actually other reasons, which Austin, being a Half-Legendary himself, had some insights about.

Having given final instructions, Austin soared away from the Dragon Nest Tribe.
