"Of course! For me, Land, to achieve what I have today,

it took years of diligently eating, drinking, and plundering treasures! Tirelessly fighting and slaughtering other races to make my infamous name echo around the world!"

"?"

This sounds kind of odd, doesn't it? Shouldn't it be mastering magic skills, tirelessly practicing combat skills?

Although you learned magic, I didn't see you learn for many days, huh? As for the combat skills unique to the Giant Dragons, without any inherited memories or lessons from other dragons, you never learned them either.

How is this effort?

Efforting to eat, drink, plunder treasures! Tirelessly fighting other races, how does this relate to honing one's strength?

The Xiao Female Dragon stood to the side in silence, doubting dragon kind.

"Land! I brought Yakus!"

The Little Black Dragon walked out from the castle with Yakus.

Sizzle~

Just then, under the not-so-bright night sky, a few fireballs appeared, casting a dim red light around Yakus.

Land very considerately lit up the path for them.

The Xiao Female Dragon watched from the side, somewhat jealous. This guy, Land, is being too nice to this human! He's never treated me like this!

The Xiao Female Dragon felt intensely threatened, making her look at Yakus with a hint of hostility.

"Lord Land, what did you call me for this late at night?"

As Yakus got closer, he couldn't help but ask, with a puzzled expression.

"Take a look at this letter! It's from your brother Troy Mien.

Hahahaha! He's quite an interesting fellow!"

Land handed the recent letter to Yakus.

When mentioning the name Troy, he couldn't help but laugh.

"My brother, huh? Truly a memorable person!"

Yakus sighed, taking the letter and reading it slowly. After a moment, he couldn't help but laugh too.

Two small dragons flapped their Dragon Wings, joining in the fun and reading it too.

The Xiao Female Dragon couldn't help but say:

"Land! This guy's actually preparing to surrender to us, what are you planning to do?"

"What to do? Won't you both know what I'll do tomorrow when you come along with me?"

Land sneered.

The messenger felt uneasy, but his low status meant he couldn't do anything even if he sensed something was off.

Soon, the next day arrived.

Land took hold of Yakus and, with the two dragonlings, flew towards the domain of Marquis Mien. They arrived by the afternoon.

At this moment, outside the city gates of Mien City,

a large crowd had already gathered.

Thousands of soldiers lined up neatly in formation.

A young-looking noble and a middle-aged noblewoman stood at the front of the group.

Nearby, a few soldiers holding binoculars kept looking around. One of the soldiers, with binoculars in hand, seemed to spot Land and the dragons flying in the air, moving his mouth incessantly.

In an instant, the noblewoman shouted a few more words, and the entire military formation snapped to attention.

Everyone looked straight ahead, full of spirit, watching the Giant Dragon slowly flying towards them!

Land, holding onto Yakus along with the two dragonlings, flew leisurely and landed a few dozen meters in front of the military formation under everyone's gaze.

The moment they landed, a brief chaos erupted within the military formation, but it quickly restored order following the shout of what seemed to be an advanced professional leading them.

However, the young Marquis Mien, Troy, at the forefront found himself trembling with fear in the face of such a massive beast as Land. When it was his moment to speak up, he froze, unable to utter a word.

Cold sweat trickled down his forehead continuously.

Lacking mental fortitude and having little strength, facing Land without even the Dragon Mighty unleashed was enough to scare him thoroughly.

The middle-aged noblewoman next to him couldn't stand it anymore.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her fear of the Great Dragon before her, and stepped forward with a smile, saying:

"Great Red-eyed Demon Dragon! His Majesty Land Saphis Oakben, welcome to our presence!

I am Charlo, the mother of Troy Mien. With sincere intentions, we earnestly hope to join under your banner.

To bask in your glory!"

With these words, the soldiers showed signs of restlessness.

And the seemingly leading advanced professional clenched his fists and lowered his head.

The situation seemed rather delicate.

"Hahahaha! Troy Mien! And Charlo! You two are really interesting people!

Surrendering to me, a Five-Colored Evil Dragon, even before the battle starts? Aren't you afraid of the Kingdom's retribution?"

The Giant Dragon laughed and asked.

"Great Red-eyed Demon Dragon! His Majesty Land Saphis Oakben, your power is evident throughout the entire Laine Kingdom—His Majesty the King himself fears beings like you.

If you wanted to kill us, it would be as easy as stepping on an ant on the roadside.

Knowing for sure that we would die, yet still opposing you, such a magnificent being—it would mean we are insane."

Marquis Mien's mother explained with respect.

"Hehehe! You bunch of weaklings! Didn't expect you to still have some brains! Indeed! Crushing you under Land's foot is as easy as squishing an ant!

Surrender is indeed your only option!"

The Xiao Female Dragon couldn't help but interject from mid-air.

"That's not necessarily true! Crushing an ant can actually be quite troublesome; these little creatures might slip through the gaps between scales.

But squishing these folks, they definitely won't be able to squeeze through any gaps!"
