Volume 4 Chapter 74

Volume 4 + Chapter 74: It Must Be The Dragon Royal Family’s Fault! 

“Silver Dragon Princess, you don’t even know about our Northern Rebellion Army?” the leader of the Northern Rebellion Army asked.

Northern Rebellion Army?

After entering the Northern Border City, Xia Yi didn’t seem to have heard of it.

She hadn’t heard the villagers in Fika City mention it either.

If the Northern Rebellion Army was active in these areas, she couldn’t possibly be unaware of it.

Xia Yi first glanced at Elly, who also wore a look of confusion.

The Northern Mining Field dragons were the most peculiar, obviously quite guilty.

This confirmed for her that the Northern Rebellion Army was definitely a situation within the Far North, it’s just that the Northern Mining Field hadn’t reported this matter.

“Then, let me tell you…”

“Enough of your nonsense here!! You scheming scoundrel, actually attacking Her Highness, committing such a grave crime—truly unforgivable!!”

Chelsea roared, interrupting the Northern Rebellion Army leader.

“Let’s attack together! We absolutely cannot allow such a despicable scoundrel to act lawlessly in front of Her Highness!!”

The Northern Mining Field dragons seemed to be roused by Chelsea’s shout. Together, they let out roars, charging towards the Northern Rebellion Army and launching an attack.

“Hmph, despicable? What a high-sounding excuse!!”

The Northern Rebellion Army leader began directing his subordinates into battle, actively meeting the Northern Mining Field dragons head-on.

The Northern Rebellion Army leader himself led the charge, already flying to the front of Chelsea.

“Submit obediently! Evil criminal!”

Chelsea blasted out dragon breath, directly colliding with the Northern Rebellion Army leader.

The Northern Rebellion Army leader didn’t choose to dodge. Instead, he flapped his wings, actually using his dragon wings to shield himself.

BOOM!

Chelsea’s dragon breath struck the Northern Rebellion Army leader’s dragon wings, instantly enveloping the area in a mist of snow.

“What’s the result?!”

Both the Northern Mining Field dragons and the Northern Rebellion Army were focused on the outcome.

The result of the one-on-one duel between the two leaders would greatly affect the morale trends on both sides. The side gaining the upper hand would undoubtedly greatly boost their own faction’s morale in the subsequent battle, leading their companions to break through like a hot knife through butter.

As the snowy mist gradually dissipated, the figures of the two dragons became clearer.

“T-this… impossible!!” Chelsea showed an expression of disbelief.

The Northern Rebellion Army leader had only sustained some minor injuries and was largely unharmed—he had literally taken the major attack head-on!

“What’s wrong? Why are you showing such an expression towards the ‘despicable one’ you spoke of?”

The Northern Rebellion Army leader revealed a fierce, menacing look in his eyes.

“Let you taste our determination to fight!! The Northern Rebellion Army will inevitably bring the dawn of freedom to the dragon race!!”

Then, the Northern Rebellion Army leader pounced towards Chelsea.

Clearly, Chelsea had been intimidated just now, somewhat shaken and slow to react, only now thinking of counterattacking.

In that brief moment, the outcome between the two seemed already decided.

The Northern Rebellion Army leader raised his sharp claws, shaking off Chelsea’s defensive stance. He left a sharp, cold flash on Chelsea’s body, slicing through dragon scales, causing blood to spurt. Then, he stepped forward, pinning Chelsea under his foot.

“ROAR!!!”

The Northern Rebellion Army leader used a quickly gathered blast of dragon breath, directly spraying it onto Chelsea’s head.

This strike, while it wouldn’t take Chelsea’s life, directly robbed him of consciousness. He rolled his eyes and fell unconscious.

“T-this…!?”

Seeing this scene, the Northern Mining Field dragons were greatly shaken. Although they didn’t completely lose the will to fight, their morale indeed became low.

These individuals were primarily responsible for procuring supplies from the outside and transporting them back. Therefore, their combat strength configuration wasn’t the highest.

But the Northern Rebellion Army had clearly come prepared, using sneak attack tactics, catching them off guard.

Now, the Northern Rebellion Army cheered, their morale high.

“Boss defeated the Northern Mining Field scum! Boss is invincible!!”

“Counterattack! Counterattack!!”

“Today, we will vent all our resentment! Let these damned scoundrels also have a taste of being stepped on!!”

Next, the Northern Mining Field side was retreating step by step, suffering defeat, being beaten back until they shrank around Xia Yi.

As Xia Yi’s guard, Elly did not act rashly without receiving orders.

Xia Yi had been observing from the side, probably having discerned what level this batch of Northern Rebellion Army was at…

“Silver Dragon Princess, you are already surrounded by us.”

The Northern Rebellion Army leader smiled. In his eyes, this dragon loli was like a greenhouse flower, enjoying a life where everyone revolved around her every day. Seeing this situation, she was probably utterly dumbfounded, too scared to move.

“In the Far North Lands, it’s not like your Dragon Royal Capital. Don’t say anything stupid that might anger our brothers. At that time, what they might do to you, I cannot guarantee!”

“What exactly do you want?” Xia Yi inquired.

“Freedom!”

The Northern Rebellion Army leader clenched his fist, his words firm and resounding.

“We were once in the Northern Mining Field, continuously oppressed by your Dragon Royal Family. Forced to mine in dangerous areas every day, subjected to inhumane treatment, with absolutely no hope of survival…”

“That’s what you deserved!”

“Shut up!! What do you know? You’re just an over-protected child! Do you think the world is just black and white? Did we become the so-called criminals in your mouth because we committed crimes?”

The Northern Rebellion Army leader denied it.

“No! It’s because these are merely the ‘laws’ established by your Dragon Royal Family! You are utterly hypocritical, full of talk about benevolence and morality, packaging it with justice, all just to make others fall into becoming criminals, becoming tools for your profit! Why should we abide by the rules you set and accept this punishment? Why should we sacrifice for your Dragon Royal Family? Are kings, lords, generals, and ministers born to their stations?!!”

His words were extremely inflammatory, demagogic, instantly igniting the emotions of the Northern Rebellion Army members. They wished they could strip Xia Yi’s skin and bones.

“That’s right!! Despicable, shameless Dragon Royal Family, enjoying the benefits bought with our blood!!”

“Our misery must be the Dragon Royal Family’s fault!”

“For freedom! For true justice!! Our Northern Rebellion Army will definitely resist to the end, overturning the Dragon Royal Family’s rule!!”

Elly was very angry. “These people are insane, daring to say such things! They really don’t care about implicating their nine familial clans!”

“In recent years, the Northern Mining Field has continuously embezzled and profited, persecuting miners, letting them die in the mining fields. Simultaneously, they have accepted bribes from the powerful, privately releasing exiled criminals, tolerating them to throw their weight around in the Far North Lands!”

The Northern Rebellion Army leader stared at Xia Yi.

“Silver Dragon Princess, it’s precisely because your Dragon Royal Family has consistently indulged the Northern Mining Field managers that so many people have joined the Northern Rebellion Army!”
