A Dragon against the Whole World

Chapter 410: Chapter 324: The Great Flying Cat Galos

Sel Wilderness, Celestial Pit Territory, deep within the Iron Dragon’s Nest.

”The Dominic Blue Dragon Clan, whom I believed to be the most likely potential ally for cooperation, possesses enough power and tends towards order in their actions. Unfortunately, I have never been able to offer them what they truly desire, interests that would move them.”

The voice of Iron Dragon Lady Letitia echoed in the nest, carrying a hint of obvious regret.

She and Galos had already discussed the specifics of cooperation. At this moment, their topic was shifting to other forces in the wilderness that might become partners.

Additionally.

She had previously learned from Galos that this heir of the Red Iron Dragon had unexpectedly formed an alliance with a Golden Dragon.

This news made her feel extremely incredible, even somewhat absurd.

The inherently evil Red Iron Dragon, with the inherently righteous, orderly, and kind Golden Dragon.

How exactly did these two get mixed together?

If this combination were to be spoken of, if this news spread, it would probably be thought across the entire Sel Wilderness and the broader continent that this was a ridiculous tale concocted by some clumsy minstrel in a drunken stupor.

”Let’s not consider the Dominic Blue Dragon Clan for now.”

Galos shook his head, ”Between them and me, there are some potential conflicts. There’s even a great possibility in the future of directly standing on opposing sides.”

”Potential conflicts? What are they?”

Letitia slightly tilted her giant head covered with dragon scales, asking.

The scale of the Ignas Dragon Group was increasingly expanding, and the matter of sheltering stray little dragons was not a strictly kept secret.

Galos slightly weighed his words, looked towards Iron Dragon Lady, and slowly said, ”I believe the ancient tradition of forcibly expelling progeny from the territory at a young age, letting them fend for themselves, survive or perish, does indeed have the ability to select strong and resilient individuals, but it also causes many dragons with excellent talents, due to poor luck or lack of resources, to die prematurely.”

Upon hearing this, Iron Dragon Lady instinctively scratched her hard neck with the tips of her claws, remaining silent.

This method of upbringing is extremely common among the Five-Colored Dragons, and she herself practices it as such.

The Red Iron Dragon’s tone carried no accusation, merely stating a fact.

”Therefore, I have made a decision.”

”For those young dragons struggling to survive under the fangs of the wilderness, wanting to live.”

”As long as they are willing to abide by the rules of the Dragon Group, regardless of their dragon origin, the Ignas Dragon Group is willing to give them a chance, offering necessary protection and basic cultivation.”

”Of course, this is not without cost.”

”What I do is also based on interest considerations, and they need to repay this kindness through loyalty to the Dragon Group, making contributions.”

Galos calmly explained his philosophy.

Upon hearing this, Letitia became thoughtful: ”I seem to have heard a Blue Dragon from the Dominic Family mention that in recent years, indeed, some restless young dragons chose to leave without saying a word.”

Her mind was agile, and she looked at the Red Iron Dragon before her.

”Could it be that those little ones who dared betray the Dominic Family are now huddled under your Dragon Wings?”

Facing the sharp gaze of Iron Dragon Lady that seemed to pierce the soul, Galos did not dodge at all, steadily nodded his gigantic head covered in red copper and black iron scales.

Galos nodded frankly.

”Yes, currently under my command, there are four dragons in their teenage years, coming precisely from Dominic Family.”

In the increasingly large Molten Iron Tribe, they cannot yet be called the backbone.

But dragons who have grown to adolescent levels already play quite an important role within the tribe, participating in various aspects of management and battle.

Iron Dragon Lady pondered for a moment, then spoke: ”This doesn’t seem like an unresolvable problem.”

”The Dominican Dragon Group has always placed real interests above all.”

”If you are willing to actively engage in negotiation and discussion with them, showing enough sincerity or compensation, there might still be room for maneuver.”

She offered a relatively conservative suggestion.

However, Galos did not completely agree with this view.

”The Blue Dragon Group indeed emphasizes interests, but they absolutely won’t readily condone betrayal.”

”Otherwise, with their oppressive clan governance style, if they don’t impose sufficiently harsh punishment on the traitors, those at the bottom of the clan, the oppressed dragons, would certainly all have the idea of betrayal and escape.”

The voice of the Red Iron Dragon was calm, analyzing the interests involved.

”Actively negotiating might allow the Dominican Dragon Group to make concessions under certain conditions.”

”But this also means that I must offer significant interests that will make them willing to swallow their pride and ignore the loss of face.”

”In comparison, I am more inclined to let them weigh for themselves whether it’s worth it, to confront the entire Ignas Dragon Group for a few fleeing teenage dragons, and then decide whether to fight or make peace based on their reaction.”

Leaving aside other adult dragons and young dragons in the Dominican Dragon Group.

Just the Master of the Dragon Clans, a vigorous Blue Dragon over three hundred years old, is an opponent to be taken seriously.

Galos understood this clearly from the narrations of dragons like Heryam.

Yet, if it were the adolescent Red Iron Dragon from before its slumber, perhaps it would constantly worry about the threat from the Dominican Dragon Group, but now, things are distinctly different.
