Chapter 40: The Dragon Emissary

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

‘Isn’t this the Hydra from the Aoli Empire? How could it be in someone else’s possession?’

However, they all suddenly realized that they had actually heard about Lei Yuan using a magic artifact to subdue the Hydra before in the military camp.

They did not expect to see it released here today.

“What should we do? There’s no way we can beat the Hydra, right? Shouldn’t we retreat?”

“Don’t lose hope! Our Infernal Dragon is also a force to be reckoned with! We might even be able to win!”

“We won’t lose. The general has already predicted our victory. Be assured that the Infernal Dragon will triumph against the Hydra.”

The enemy troops were not afraid, but Lei Yuan felt fearful enough to buy a one-time teleportation gate from the system and promptly left the battlefield.

“Hey! Why did you run away? “The system was a little surprised, “Aren’t you going to stay and capture them?”

“Forget it. If I stay there, I might get injured from their battle. I can’t beat them. Have you already forgotten what happened last time?” Lei Yuan rolled his eyes. It was a fluke that he caught the Hydra before.

The portal transported him to where Lotti and the others were.

“How’s the battle going?” Lotti was very anxious.

Although they had retreated to safety, the fighting in front of the city gates continued, and they did not know what was happening there.

‘Did Lei Yuan lose?’ Lotti’s heart ached again. If her country fell, she would fall alongside it!

In comparison, Lei Yuan was very calm. “Don’t worry, let’s head back now. They should be done fighting.”

After he observed the terrain, Lei Yuan could tell that they were not far from the battlefield. After listening carefully, they could still hear the sounds of battle not far away.

Lotti went back without hesitation. The soldiers also wanted to follow, but Lei Yuan was worried about unnecessary casualties, so he did not let them come along.

The two of them traveled with great speed and arrived at the battlefield in a short while.

Presently, the Hydra was suppressing the Infernal Dragon, however the Hydra itself had sustained many wounds.

Lei Yuan thought about it and did not plan to keep the Hydra anymore. He could not tame this ferocious beast for the time being, and leaving it alive would be an unnecessary risk. With that in mind, Lei Yuan and Lotti immediately rushed in to kill the Hydra.

However, just as his sword was about to pierce it, the Hydra suddenly waved its tail and slammed the two of them into the ground.

Lei Yuan was stunned.

‘What was going on? I can tell that the Hydra is on its last breath, but instead of being exhausted…’

He then raised his head and saw that the Hydra’s eyes were red, and its nine heads were raised high. It did not look like it was on the verge of death at all.

Lotti noticed what was happening before Lei Yuan and quickly pulled him back. “The Hydra has gone mad!” She had often encountered berserk beasts before, but it was the first time she had encountered such a powerful beast that had gone berserk.

“How could this be happening?” While avoiding its attacks, Lei Yuan also observed the surrounding situation and noticed the enemy general’s triumphant smile. He immediately understood that they had used some kind of trick.

“Don’t forget, their country specializes in using ferocious beasts to fight. How could they not be prepared for this? Host, I suggest that you run quickly and don’t involve yourself in this matter. Otherwise, what little Evolution Points you have will be used to heal your injuries.”

The system tried to persuade him, but Lei Yuan was not in the mood to reply. Since the system could not help him now, he would think of a way himself.

After a few rounds of fighting, Lei Yuan thought of an idea. He still had his magic artifact, and there were other ferocious beasts he had stored inside. With the combined strength of all of them, he believed that he could beat the Hydra.

Just as he was about to release all the ferocious beasts, a slender figure suddenly appeared, and it was followed by the sound of a blade piercing through flesh. In an instant, blood and toxins splattered everywhere as the Hydra was split in half. Some of the toxic liquid fell on the soldiers, and many of them were poisoned and died straightaway.

Lei Yuan was stunned for a moment. He then looked at the person who had arrived and realized that it was actually the dragon lady!

“It’s you!” Lei Yuan had not expected her to participate in this war.

“Dragon Emissary, how can you do that?! Aren’t you on our side?”

The soldiers usually did not know how to address the Demon King’s Five Generals, so they addressed them as his emissaries. The woman was a member of the Dragon Tribe, so they called her the Dragon Emissary.

“I’ll do what I want. What right do you have to interfere?”

The Dragon Emissary snorted coldly and moved swiftly. She appeared directly in front of the general and kicked him to the ground.

He probably never expected that the person who led them to war today would actually backstab them at the most crucial moment.

“I’ll give you one chance. Take your troops and retreat. I’ll handle it from here.”

The Dragon Emissary’s voice was crisp, but the man did not give up and continued, “No, this doesn’t conform to our strategy—”

Before he could finish speaking, he was kicked again.

“If you don’t leave, I’ll kill you!” The Dragon Emissary’s eyes were filled with killing intent. The general did not dare delay any longer. He had no choice but to retreat with his soldiers.

Although he had no idea what was going on, he was going to live to fight another day. He did not have the capability to go against the Dragon Emissary yet.

After the army retreated, there was a sense of desolation on the battlefield. Lei Yuan had not expected such an outcome. The one attacking the Hundred Beasts Kingdom was actually the dragon lady, who was helping Lei Yuan’s side!

His emotions suddenly became complicated. The siege on the Hundred Beasts Kingdom had stopped after the dragon lady rejoined them. Could this be the dragon lady’s doing?

Why did she do that? Was it because of him? Lei Yuan did not think that he was important enough for that.

All he did was live with the dragon lady for a few days and give her some sweets. As a subordinate of the Demon King, would she really be moved to act by such a small thing? However, Lei Yuan could not think of any other reason.

In the end, Lei Yuan’s eyes met hers, and he saw that she was looking at him with some regret. “Hey, what’s wrong with you? Why are you fighting for another country?”

Lei Yuan did not know what to say.

She was clearly such a powerful person. How could she say such things in a joking manner in a situation like this?

“I’m here to help her.” Lei Yuan’s answer was simple.

The Dragon Emissary had met Lotti before, so she should know why she was here. In response, the Dragon Emissary glanced at Lotti like she did not take her seriously at all. With her power, she could indeed dismiss Lotti as a threat.

“You really like to meddle in other people’s business.” The Dragon Emissary frowned, seemingly unhappy and accusing him. “I’m not attacking your country, so don’t get involved in other countries’ matters. Otherwise, I won’t be able to take action either.”

When launching an offensive in the future, would they have to investigate the relationship Lei Yuan had with every one of their targeted countries?

“So, was it your decision to leave the Aifell Empire alone?”

Was their safety really because of her? If that was the case, Lei Yuan did not know what to say. Should he thank her for sparing the Queen go?
