Evolving Silver Dragon

39 038 A Small Warning_1

Translator: 549690339

The Lizardman Clan’s village was facing a crisis, as nearly a hundred dirty, small green-skinned goblins launched an attack on them.

These creatures, which normally lived at the lowest level of Nolan Forest, somehow found the courage to attack the Lizardmen’s territory armed with only crude wooden sticks and shortbows.

Scar, armed with a spear tied with multi-headed serpent lizard fangs, managed to knock a goblin that had barely climbed up the wooden wall, and Longleg, who was beside him, killed the goblins with his longbow.

The remaining elderly and some strong female Lizardmen either used shortbows or hurled rocks by hand to halt the goblins’ assault.

Most of the Lizardman warriors had been taken to the frontline battlefield by Sasaru. The Lizardmen left in the village, including the old, weak, and females, numbered less than a hundred.

Had it not been for the presence of two experienced Lizardman warriors, Scar and Longleg, to guard and command the village, the makeshift wooden wall and the elderly and female Lizardmen might not have been able to withstand the goblins’ onslaught.

A female corrupted elf with green hair crouched on a large tree near the battlefield, watching everything with indifference.

Her name was Elyss, one of the corrupted elves raised by the Mother of Thorns, Cassiopeia.

Due to their extremely small numbers and intelligence far beyond ordinary monsters, corrupted elves were often assigned tasks that required a certain amount of wisdom but carried little risk by Cassiopeia.

She did not join the Thorn Legion in the frontline battles, but instead stayed behind in the Thorn Nest on behalf of Cassiopeia.

Thus, her giant eagle had not become a meal for wyverns and manticores like her fellow creatures had.

Heavily injured, Cassiopeia contacted Elyss through communication magic on her way back to the Thorn Nest. Soon after, Elyss rode her giant eagle, leading the goblins to attack the Lizardman Clan’s village before the Lizardman troops could return.

Even with the goblins’ small stature, the crude wooden wall seemed almost as indestructible as a fortified one.

Under the command of Scar and Longleg, one goblin after another died under the crude spears and rocks.

Of course, some Lizardmen also lost their lives – the goblins’ shortbows were not without success.

Watching the steadily decreasing number of goblins, the green-haired elf sneered, “Such foolish low-level creatures… willing to give their lives for a false promise.”

These goblins lived in the barren corners surrounding the Lizardmen Clan’s territory.

The area was so desolate that most monster clans turned up their noses at it, and food was limited to rats and insects.

This group of goblins had always wanted to join the Thorn Legion, but how could Cassiopeia have ever considered them worthwhile?

But this time, Elyss made them a promise.

If they could destroy the Lizardmen’s village, they could join the Thorn Legion and have a fertile and prosperous territory of their own.

Of course, these were beautiful lies just to send them willingly to their deaths.

The battle was slowly settling down, and the goblins who failed in their attack began to flee.

A few more bodies were left behind under the scattered arrows and rocks from the Lizardmen, and in the end, only a dozen or so goblins managed to escape the Lizardmen’s territory.

“As expected, just a bunch of low-level creatures…”

Elyss pursed her lips but appeared to be unfazed, as she had never held any expectations for these goblins in the first place.

Before leaving, she looked from a distance at the cheering Lizardmen and said to herself with a cold smile, “This is just a small warning. Next time, the great Mother of Thorns might not be so merciful!”

Elyss rode her giant eagle back to the Thorn Nest.

Shortly after her departure, a dark shadow loomed over the Lizardmen’s territory, with silver scales shimmering in the sunlight.Otto is back.

Most of the Lizardmen had already seen him, so it didn’t cause much commotion.

Under Longleg’s command, they cleared the battlefield, disposed of the bodies, and treated the injured Lizardmen in an orderly manner.

Scar jumped off the not-so-high railing and ran anxiously towards Otto, who was looking around suspiciously. The pungent smell of blood made his mood very bad.

“What happened?”

Scar knelt down respectfully and said, “Your Majesty, some Goblins attacked us, but we have repelled them. There weren’t too many casualties among our clan…”

The surrounding situation confirmed this, but Otto didn’t care about the lives of the Lizardmen. His crimson beast eyes stared intently at Scar.

“Where is Sofia?”

Scar hesitated for a moment before finally speaking.

“Princess Sofia… She’s gone missing!”

“As I expected…”

Scar was ready to face his death in the dragon’s jaws, but after closing his eyes and waiting for a while, he was only knocked down by a foul-smelling strong wind.

He opened his eyes again, only to find that the Silver Dragon in front of him was just a little annoyed and hadn’t done anything out of line.

Just like Saru’s leader said, this dragon was indeed extraordinary.

Otto’s ferocious dragon head approached Scar, who could even see the bits of meat stuck in his teeth and smell the stench from his mouth.

“Tell me, what exactly happened…”

Scar was somewhat puzzled, as Otto seemed somewhat helpless and seemed to have known that something like this would happen.

But he didn’t think too much about it and quickly explained, “Your Majesty, Princess Sofia said she needed to go outside for a moment. We didn’t dare to follow her. After a while, we realized she was gone…”

Well, this girl really took the opportunity to sneak away.

Otto didn’t blame Scar. There was too much of a difference between them in terms of status and wisdom.

At this time, Longleg ran over, worried that Otto might eat Scar for not taking good care of Sofia.

He knelt down respectfully beside Scar and said, “Your Majesty, we captured a live Goblin. He said the reason they attacked our Lizardman Clan was because they were following the orders of the Mother of Thorns, Cassiopeia…”

This successfully diverted Otto’s attention and, at his request, a dirty-looking Goblin was picked up by Longleg and brought over.

After seeing Otto, the terrified creature immediately collapsed to the ground and didn’t dare to move, while a disgusting smell came from his lower half.

The Goblin was scared out of his wits and answered all of Otto’s questions right away. Although his words were broken, they were still understandable.

After learning the truth, Otto incinerated the Goblin and the filth on the ground into ashes with a blast of flame.

He knew this was Cassiopeia’s warning, but there was no point in confronting her, as she would never admit to it.

Yet, at this moment, Sofia had sneakily run away. Her courage was getting bigger and bigger recently.

Out of anger, Otto thought to himself, “You wretched girl, once I find you, I’ll spank your butt till it’s swollen!”
