My Fusion System: Fusing a Thousand Chickens at the Start

536-540

“Daphne, what do you mean? Are you saying that we lost the battle because of me?”

“Isn’t it? Would we have fled if you had not recklessly employed a secret druid spell in the fortified city and lost?”

“Do you believe I want to fail? I have exhausted all of my resources, but I still have not defeated the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s army. Is it all my fault? Don’t you see how the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s people are besieged by the sea folk and the dragons? Not just me, but even His Majesty’s projection has been halted. Is there anything I can do?”

Landon attempted to defend himself, attempting to shift the blame to the Elven King. Daphne, on the other hand, did not believe him and proceeded to taunt him, saying, “You have battled a 12 or 13-year-old young man, and he knocked you unconscious with one move. It is the most humiliating existence in elven history! Even though His Majesty was defeated, he was defeated by the Dragon King. Is he comparable to the Dragon King or a weak human? Landon, I think you should stop claiming that the elves are the strongest.”

“Humph, even so, is not it immoral for you to rest all your fighting aspirations on me rather than fighting here? Let us not discuss those; instead, let us focus on Erland. He just stood there and watched as I attacked. Don’t you believe you should reprimand him?”

Landon directed his finger at Erland, who had been frowning since the outset and had said nothing. Many elves followed him and scrutinized him.

“Elder Landon, I recall that I initially wished to stop you from fighting with the human army,” Erland moaned, sensing the gazes from all sides. “The King of the Holy Dragon Kingdom dared to come here, so he is confident in his ability to annihilate us. Going against them in the first place was not a good decision.”

“See, Landon, it’s obvious that Erland had thought about it before saying such words. Compared to you, he is much wiser.” Daphne snorted again.

Landon’s face was flushed with rage, and his cheekbones twitched. “Why do you like to argue with me, Daphne? That battle’s failure has nothing to do with anyone else. It is entirely my fault. I will confess it. Do you have anything further to say?”

“Stop arguing, everyone. The attack on the Holy Dragon Kingdom would not have gone as smoothly as planned. That is in line with my expectations! Even though the war was a colossal failure, it provided us with a clear picture of the Holy Dragon Kingdom’s strength. That new type of weapon, totally encased in an iron shell and capable of transforming into a monster, will be our most formidable foe. At the same time, we know that the Holy Dragon Kingdom has aided the dragons. The next phase is to devise ways to sever the bond between them, and then to deal with those lethal weapons.”

The Elven King looked around. The elven elders who were quarreling fell silent in the face of his dignified gaze.

Compared to the Holy Dragon Kingdom, the Elven Kingdom was already at a disadvantage in military power. Despite the Elven King’s deployment of the power from the Spring of Life and the elven race chess piece, the scales of victory had not shifted significantly. They were still reliant on the dragons and the Winter Nation.

The dragons were not reliable anymore, but there was still the Winter Nation.

“I believe that the human ruler is not at the heart of that conflict, but rather the young man named Watson. The dragons refer to him as the Dragon Emperor, and he is surrounded by sea folk. Clearly, his standing among sea folks is not low! If we can capture him, we can enlist the assistance of those two races. That way, even if we do not have the support of the Winter Nation, we can still defeat the Holy Dragon Kingdom.”
