Chapter One Hundred and Fifty-One: Unexpected Change

  Although at the beginning, the earth dragons who were frightened almost dismantled their residence, after a few days of training, I finally trained these poor earth dragons into shape! Now they will not scatter and flee when hearing the sound of the horn, but instead be scared to climb onto the ground! Alas, it's really hard to help those who are not talented! Who would have thought that their dragon bloodline was too thin? Fortunately, if the horn is not blown, they can already fight under the command of the knights, although still a bit awkward, but at least better than running away.

  According to Gai's description, even he felt a great pressure when he heard the sound of 'Dragon Clan Friendship' being blown, as well as the panic brought by this pressure! If he couldn't handle it, then I shouldn't expect those low-ranking dragons to be able to either. Later, I also confirmed with Gai that any magical beast would definitely have a reaction to this 'Dragon Clan Friendship'. Even if I didn't blow it, just relying on the White Dragon King's aura it carried would be enough to make magical beasts below level 8 flee in terror!

  With such a treasure in hand, why should I be afraid of those Kampas Empire barbaric heavy infantry? With full confidence, I happily await the day of the final battle!

  As the top-level confrontation between the mainland's most elite troops, this duel naturally attracted attention from all sides! The entire Holy City was empty, with people unable to enter the Grand Arena simply waiting outside for the latest battle report! As for the casino business, it was booming and abnormal! Almost no one could even squeeze in through the doors!

  Helpless, I can only go to the exclusive noble box in the arena first and discuss with His Majesty the King about how to place bets! At this time, Ishihara Kuma 2, who was sent by us to gather information, returned! This guy rushed in hastily, panting, his whole body shaking with fat, it's really pitiful just looking at him!

  "Oh no!" Ishihara Kuma exclaimed in surprise: "The casino's odds are 1 to 1.5, we're 1, they're 1.5!"

  "Huh?" The poor Taoist was startled and hastily said: "Didn't you hear clearly with your ears?"

  "Indeed!" The king also said strangely: "Don't you seem to be confused? Who can't see the combat power of the Crazy Dragon Iron Cavalry? The barbarian heavy infantry of the Kampas Empire shouldn't be their opponent, right?"

  "That's absolutely right!" Ishihara Kuma said: "It's just these!"

  "Why?" asked the king: "Is there some unexpected internal news?"

  "It's said that in the past few days, the market for magical items in Seidou has been exceptionally hot, especially with high-grade scrolls and magic crystals seeing their prices rise several times over!" Ishihara Kuma exclaimed!

  "Is someone buying in large quantities?" Poor Dao asked!

  "Not bad! And I already know their identities, they're from the Kampas Empire!" Ishihara Kuma exclaimed: "Obviously, they plan to use them extensively in this duel!"

  "What shall we do?" said the king: "Do you still have a way to win?"

  "They absolutely can't afford to buy too many of those, they're too expensive. I reckon even if they splurged, it would be at most a few dozen seventh-level ones!" The poor Daoist analyzed patiently: "The key is how to use them. If we concentrate them together and use all the area-of-effect magic at once, I'm afraid it would be enough to take out me and several hundred of my subordinates in one go!"

  I've carefully calculated and come to a conclusion that's depressing beyond measure! Damn it, who gave that idiot Crown Prince such a stupid idea? It's really made me suffer, I'm even sweating bullets now!

  "If all the remaining people go berserk, shouldn't we still be able to win?" The king asked nonchalantly.

  "They also have magic crystals! Their magical beasts can cast spells, and with the support of the magic crystals, these beasts' spells can be cast at least twice as many times! The remaining ones may not necessarily win! Moreover, if hundreds of them die all at once, winning or losing is the same, there's no difference!"

  "What should we do then?" The king said: "We can't just send people from the Qinglong Army to make up the numbers, can we?"

  "Of course not!" The poor Taoist laughed in extreme anger: "Our Dragon family has never had a descendant who avoids battle! Hmph, since you let me know the inside story ahead of time, wanting to win against me won't be that easy anymore!"

  "Lord Ishihara!" I asked Ishihara Kuma: "Trouble you to check for me, before the massive purchases in the Empire of Kanpas, was there any special person who had contact with them, or is it someone from Vana?"

  "Alright!" replied Ishihara Kuma II!

  Heh heh! Can't let Ishihara Kuma 2 follow me and get the benefits for free, I've got to make good use of his talent for gathering information! I suspect that the Crown Prince, who is still bedridden until now, absolutely doesn't have this kind of intelligence to come up with such an idea! There must be someone behind him giving directions. And thinking about the mysterious smile of the 7th Princess, I feel like she's the one causing trouble for me! Hmph! Thinking of making me suffer losses and casualties, it won't be that easy!

  However, the poor Taoist suddenly became excited again! As the saying goes, good fortune often arises from misfortune, and vice versa. Who would have thought that Saiweng's loss of his horse was actually a blessing in disguise? If it weren't for this turn of events, the odds at the gambling den wouldn't be so high, right? He hastily told the king and others, "This battle is sure to win! Hurry up and place your bets!" After saying that, he casually entrusted 1000W yuan to his father to go place a bet. The king and Ishihara Kojiro naturally wouldn't let this opportunity slip away and were overjoyed.

  Not long after, under the gaze of the crowd, the final battle officially began! First to take the stage were the barbaric heavy infantry of the Kampas Empire! Unlike last time, this time they marched in with neat steps, each one adorned with silver helmets, silver armor, and silver war hammers, paired with robust bodies over two meters tall, as well as the magical beasts following beside them! It was truly awe-inspiring, immediately winning thunderous applause from the crowd! It seems that the thousand-man squad from last time wasn't the strongest main force after all! At least compared to this one, they were a whole level lower! Moreover, this team had nearly 600 sixth-level magical beasts, three times as many as the previous unit! As for seventh-level magical beasts, there were over 50 of them!

  It's really frustrating! Why do I always get stuck with the toughest bones to gnaw on? Last time it was Megel Blue Empire's Third Prince Kael, who specially prepared for me the iron-blooded cavalry with added ingredients. This time, I've run into Kampas Empire's Crown Prince's 'heavy gift' again! Is there something wrong with my character?!

  Depressed and returned to being depressed, things still have to be done! Next up is my pride, the Iron Dragon Knights, with a completely opposite color scheme to their opponents, black helmets, black armor, and black war knives! Their gray-black mounts exuded a chilling killing aura! As they slowly took the stage, they gave off an air of silent oppression, and their cool demeanor earned them thunderous applause from the audience!

  After both sides had formed their battle arrays, the referee shouted loudly: "The final battle begins!"

  The barbarian heavy infantry of the Kampas Empire didn't move at all, still in a desperate defensive stance! To say that their circular defense formation was quite good, the demonic beasts were following their masters, restlessly moving about! It's clear they sensed the 'Dragon Tribe's Friendship' aura on Piru's body! Because they were far away and had their masters calming them down, there weren't any signs of escape, but heh heh, who knows what will happen next?!

  "Attention all! The 200 elite soldiers in the front row, dismount and gather around you!" Wudao gave orders to Commander Pilu through the Thousand Mile Transmission.

  Although this order came suddenly, it was completely different from what I had previously arranged! However, Piru still executed my orders without hesitation! I highly appreciate his obedience! Soldiers on the battlefield should have such performance and unconditionally obey their superiors' orders! I have already begun to consider formally letting him take over as the commander of the Crazy Dragon Corps! After all, it is impossible for me to spend a lot of time in the military camp!

  At this moment, well-trained warriors have taken their positions according to my command! 200 warriors surrounded Piru in the middle!

  "According to what I taught you, activate the magic hidden in 'Dragon Tribe's Friendship'!" The poor Taoist commanded Piro!

  This advanced magical tool is convenient, it can release magic without the user having to infuse their own magical power! As long as it's controllable energy, it's fine! Like Pilu's aura, it can also activate that level 10 spell 'Hymn of Light'! A white glow envelops every warrior around Pilu! The light disperses, and everyone has a white misty armor on their body!

  "Heavens! 'Luminous Hymn of Praise'! That's a tenth-level spell, isn't it?!" People in the audience who knew their stuff had already begun to loudly exclaim in surprise!

  "Is what he's holding really an artifact?"

  "Bullshit! Besides the divine artifact, there's also a magical conductor that can cast tenth-level spells!"

  "How come I've never heard of such a thing before?"

  "It's probably a gift from the Queen of Elves, after all, they have been collecting for thousands of years, it's not surprising to have something like this!"

  The king was also stunned like Ishihara Kōji, and it took him a long time to recover. He asked discontentedly: "How many more secrets do you have that I don't know about?"

  "You have as many secrets that you haven't let me know about!" The poor monk said with a smile, uttering a phrase full of philosophy! Hehe, there's still much more that you don't know, and it's called spending your whole life regretting in the pain of ignorance!

  Everyone, please help me out and give me a couple of months' worth of living expenses! I'm so poor! Now I have to work 16 hours a day to rush through manuscripts for everyone's enjoyment! I'm pitiful! Tears are falling! It's all so distressing!
