Chapter 449 - 246: The Vassals of the Aesores Blue Dragon Flight (Part 3)
Listening to the introduction, Raine nodded repeatedly.
As a dragon with a penchant for wealth, they have an unimaginable obsession with gems.
And blue sapphires are especially tempting for blue dragons.
"Did the blue dragon make a move?"
"No, currently it’s just their vassals fighting the kingdom’s legions."
"Didn’t the kingdom negotiate?"
"They did. They said their leader isn’t present and can only control these vassals once the leader returns, as these vassals used to be under their leader."
"Sounds like an excuse."
"Yeah, everyone knows it’s an excuse, but there’s nothing you can do about them."
"Of course, the kingdom’s main forces haven’t mobilized either, so it’s mainly small-scale friction."
"I see." Raine nodded.
To him, perhaps this was an attitude implicitly accepted by the upper levels of both sides.
For a blue sapphire mine with not-so-great reserves, a big fight isn’t worth it, so controlling the intensity of the friction or conflict to an acceptable level is more important.
Wait a minute! If that’s the case...
A spark of inspiration flashed through Raine’s mind immediately!
An adult blue dragon hasn’t made a move, it’s only their blue dragonman legion. Even if their leaders are present, they should only possess extraordinary combat power.
The most important thing is that he just acquired 90% immunity to lightning resistance, giving him an innate advantage against the blue dragonmen, who primarily use lightning magic!
"Master, how many blue dragonmen do I have to help eliminate to be considered a major contribution?"
Raine looked with burning eyes at his mentor Humbert.
And Humbert was taken aback by Raine’s almost fantastical imagination.
"No! Raine, do you know that even ordinary blue dragonmen are formidable creatures with a challenge level of six?" Humbert widened his eyes, trying to dissuade him immediately.
"Not to mention the blue reverse scale dragonmen with a challenge level of eight, the blue dragonmen captains with a challenge level of ten, and even stronger blue dragon mage lords responsible for command!"
"Master, I can do it."
"At least let me try!"
"No, no! It’s too dangerous!"
At this time, Elders Grenum and Farlin finished their conversation and walked out side by side, causing Humbert and Raine’s conversation to pause temporarily.
After Elder Farlin left, Raine couldn’t help but proactively inquire of Elder Grenum:
"Elder Grenum, if I can eliminate enough blue dragonmen, does it mean I’ve made a major contribution to the Mountain Dwarf Kingdom?"
"Of course, but the problem is that, even though they’re just dragonmen, their power shouldn’t be underestimated. According to the Adventurer’s Association ratings, the challenge level of blue dragonmen is generally above six, and there are even higher level existences."
Hearing Raine’s question, Elder Grenum also seemed somewhat surprised.
"Master Humbert just introduced that to me, Elder Grenum, what quantity counts as a major contribution?" Raine needed the elder to clarify this point.
"To be considered a major contribution, forty blue dragon warriors, ten blue reverse scale dragonmen, plus at least two dragonman captains are required." At this point, Elder Grenum paused slightly and said, "This is also the internal standard for evaluating major contributions in the kingdom."
"Of course, if you can eliminate a blue dragon mage lord, that alone counts as completion."
As if recalling something, his gaze swept past the Counterattacker at Raine’s waist, and Elder Grenum smiled.
"If you can do it, leave the matter of using the flame forge to me."
"Raine, let’s think of another way!" Humbert, beside him, gestured somewhat anxiously to Raine.
Though Elder Grenum is easy to talk to, he’s intolerant of deceit.
If Raine agreed and then failed to deliver, things could turn sour later.
