Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord - Chapter 43

43 How Can Xu Yuan Ever Be Considerate Like That?

Su Wan sent out the Skeleton Soldiers to observe the surroundings but did not find the enemy.

At this point, Su Wan was sure that Shi Linglong had successfully shaken off the enemy.

“It’s useless. They’ve already discovered where my territory is. I’m afraid that they’re currently camping around my territory!”

Shi Linglong followed Su Wan to her territory and told her about the encounter in detail.

!!
Su Wan’s nickname for Si Linglong was “troublemaker” which suited her just as well because she had, yet again, caused trouble.

Before, it was Shi Linglong who had provoked the barbarians. This time, it wasn’t Shi Linglong’s fault. She had been just passing by as usual when she heard a group of people forming an alliance with the man-eating ants to kill other Lords.

Wanwan, who do you think I should go to? I didn’t want to hear their plan at all. But I accidentally heard it.” Shi Linglong wiped her tears, feeling wronged.

Su wan was speechless for a while after she finished listening to the process of the matter.

Shi Linglong’s luck was unparalleled. Why was she offending people wherever she went?

While Shi Linglong was complaining to Su Wan, Xu Yuan also flew over to them.

When the Flower fairy saw Xu Yuan, she bowed to him when Shi Linglong and Su Wan weren’t looking.

“You’re here with Xu Yuan?”

Xu Yuan made a surprised sound. “The Lord and the native creatures are collaborating?!”

As far as Xu Yuan’s knowledge went, the Lord and the native creatures of this Plane were hostile with each other, like the barbarians.

The barbarians solely existed for the Lords to gain experience.

It was very rare to see the Lords working together with the native creatures, not to mention working together to kill other Lords.

Su Wan explained the situation to Xu Yuan. “There is indeed such a group of people among the Lords.”

To seize the core of other Overlords’ territories and resources, they chose to cooperate with the native creatures!

As far as Su Wan knew, the native creatures and the Lords rarely got along. However, she didn’t recall any such rule against the war between the Lords.

“Although there is no written rule against war between Lords, everyone has a foundation in the Blue Planet,” said Su Wan.

If a Lord is plundered by another Lord, the plundered Lord may call his/her friends to take revenge. But if the Lord was attacked by native creatures…

When Su Wan explained this, Xu Yuan and the Flower Fairy realized that there was room for manipulation.

The war between the Lords would involve friends and families. However, if it was the barbarians or other creatures who killed the Lord, the others would just assume the Lord was weaker than the others.

Everyone just wanted to use this loophole to settle their grudges. Some Overlords who felt that they were unable to obtain resources resorted to ways in which they cooperated with native creatures to kill other Overlords.

While the native creatures enjoyed killing the Lords, the other Overlords would snatch away the dead Lord’s resources. Both sides would get what they want.

…

After a simple explanation, Su Wan led her troops to Shi Linglon’s territory.

In the current situation, if they were even a second late, Si Linglong’s territory would be destroyed.

Su Wan and Xu Yuan left traces of man-eating ants as they rushed to Shi Linglong’s territory.

“The man-eating ants are one of the most extreme races of the native creatures. They have been fighting against the Lord since the beginning of time, trying to drive them out.”

Since Lin Yao, the most knowledgeable among their group, wasn’t here, Su Wan briefly provided information about the creatures.

The man-eating ants weren’t very strong. Even without the two Lords, Xu Yuan and Flower Fairy, the Golden Behemoths and the other troops were capable of taking them out.

Shi Linglong eventually arrived near her own territory as time passed.

“How come those guys haven’t come after me yet?”

Shi Linglong expected the Lords to be waiting in ambush around her territory. However, the reality was quite different from what she had anticipated.

Apart from a few man-eating ants scattered throughout the territory, they were not ambushed by any Overlords.

“That’s good. Hurry up and defend! Make your preparations!”

Su Wan successfully killed their way back to the territory with Shi Linglong. When Su Wan and Shi Linglong returned, they were surprised to see a large number of troops appearing from all directions.

“This is not good! We’ve been ambushed!”

Shi Linglong looked around the area and noticed soldiers attacking from all four directions. They were indeed lying in wait for a long time for them to appear. ‘Are they going to surround us making it impossible to escape?’ Shi Linglong felt a little nervous.

But after seeing Su Wan, her anxious heart felt a little better.

“Wanwan, if you’re here, there shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

‘No problem?!’ Su Wan wanted to tell her friend that there was a huge problem.

She did, in fact, have the powerful Black Gold Behemoth army and Cerberus. But if her troops didn’t mutate when she needed them to, they would all most likely die here!

However, in such circumstances, Su Wan could only show Shi Linglong a confident smile in order to maintain morale.

“Don’t worry,” said Su Wan to her friend.

Su Wan broke out in a cold sweat and then she began to command her troops. She also requested that Shi Linglong send out her troops to cooperate with them and defend from the enemies in all four directions!

Not long after, the enemies arrived like a surging tide.

“Hold on!”

At this time, Su Wan was somewhat glad. Fortunately, Xu Yuan had created a lot of Skeleton Soldiers to be used as cannon fodders. Now, these skeleton soldiers were blocking the front to stall the enemy.

If Xu Yuan hadn’t wasted the resources creating Skeleton Soldiers, Su Wan would have definitely created more Black Gold Behemoths. But they did have tons of Skeleton Soldiers as cannon fodder, so the situation wasn’t that bad.

‘Come to think of it, Xu Yuan’s choice wasn’t so bad. Could it be that Xu Yuan had anticipated something like this and created numerous Skeleton Soldiers?’ Su Wan thought about it.

She shook her head. ‘How is that possible? Fraud Xu will always be a scammer. How can Xu Yuan ever be considerate like that? He would never!’

Although Su Wan thought that, the corners of her mouth still cured into her smile.

However, her smile didn’t last long. Shi Linglong’s anxious voice rang in the air. “Wanwan, bad news! The territory’s resources are about to be exhausted!”

Shi Linglong’s troops had been resisting the enemy at the front lines and were constantly being consumed. During this period, Shi Linglong had also been consuming the resources of her territory to revive those troops. Now, the resources in her territory were about to be exhausted!

At this time, the flustered Su Wan thought of Xu Yuan. When she looked around, he was gone. Shi Linglong’s hero, the Flower Fairy, was nowhere to be seen as well.
