Dragon Clan: I'm too lazy to talk to you, you're not worthy to listen!

Xuzhou.

More than fifty large-scale wars have been waged throughout history...

Therefore, there has been a saying since ancient times: to contend for the Central Plains.

It's the Spring Equinox.

A child from the Zhao family stood an egg upright on the table.

The eldest son of the Li family and the eldest son of the Zheng family made a pact to fly kites together.

The eldest daughter of the Zhao family, born out of wedlock, and the eldest daughter of the Wang family, born of legitimate wife, were eating spring vegetables at a side table.

Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li; Liu, Wu, Zheng, Wang.

Inside the restaurant, those sitting and playing were all second-rate families from the eight major mixed-race groups of the Dragon Kingdom.

Upon receiving Chen Xiaoxiao's message, "How heavy is the cauldron?", these people gathered together instantly.

It can be said that people from all over the world responded.

Zhao Kuangying, the head of the Zhao family, glanced at the extremely long-eared fellow in front of him and said:

"Now that the Zhou dynasty has fallen, it seems that the many things that my Zhao family had already handed over this year have been handed over in vain. It was only because Patriarch Liu had foresight that he delayed handing over the things to the Bai family for so long. Now that the Bai family has fallen, you don't have to hand them over at all!"

"Patriarch Zhao, you were once a descendant of emperors. It's one thing to be suppressed by the Zhou family before, but do you still want to make such a joke now?"

"Let's get down to business."

Liu Dexuan, the head of the Liu family, remained calm and spoke slowly.

The Liu family, located in the southwest, had previously been strongly suppressed by the mixed-race forces centered around the old faction of the Bai family, which was associated with Qin Shi Huang.

Zhao Kuangying held a cup of wine in his hand. In the Northeast region today, there are four major families with mixed blood: Zhao, Qian, Sun, and Li, with his Zhao family as the main family.

Even after Liu Dexuan finished speaking, Zhao Kuangying didn't look up at him once. He kept his head down, playing with the small wine cup in his hand, his face as if covered by a layer of mist. His disdain and contempt were written all over his face.

Zhao Kuangying looked down at the exquisite patterns on the wine cup, his inner monologue:

"The Liu, Wu, Zheng, and Wang families have come a long way, weary from their journey, and now so many mixed-race soldiers are at the city gates. Ye Jingchen's situation is a minor matter; what I'm truly worried about is if these four families suddenly band together and burn down my backyard, then things will become very difficult. Now that the Zhou and Bai families have been completely wiped out, we are in a state of leaderlessness... This world might just fall into the Zhao family again!"

Liu Dexuan's gaze remained fixed on Zhao Kuangying's face. He understood deeply that the words of the other three northern families present did not carry weight; only the Zhao family's approval was effective.

Liu Dexuan picked up a small wine cup from the table, walked over to Zhao Kuangying, and clinked glasses with him. "Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Even though it's not easy for us four families from the south to come all this way, we are still willing to be at the forefront and kill the traitor Ye Jingchen who has rebelled against his superiors!"

Upon hearing Liu Dexuan's words, Zhao Kuangying immediately raised his head, looked into Liu Dexuan's incredibly determined eyes, and thought to himself, "If you four families in the south are truly willing to go, I will be eternally grateful!"

"Brother Liu, what are you saying? How could we, the four families of the North, have the nerve to ask you to lead the charge?" Zhao Kuangying returned the toast to Liu Dexuan, deliberately lowering his cup by a centimeter. "There's no time to lose. Let's quickly integrate and, according to our own strength, join forces to annihilate the Ye thief in one fell swoop."

Liu and Zhao both tilted their heads back and finished their drinks.

The other six families also agreed to drink.

Just then, a tall, handsome young man in white leaned close to Liu Dexuan's ear and whispered a few words.

The visitor was Zhuge Riyue, Liu Dexuan's chief secretary.

Upon hearing Zhuge Riyue's words, Liu Dexuan broke out in a cold sweat, which frightened away the slight intoxication that was about to rise within him!

Zhao Kuangying could tell at a glance that the newcomer was no ordinary person; after all, those with the surname Zhuge were usually very intelligent. "Brother Liu, what's going on?"

"It's alright, it's alright." Liu Dexuan smiled brightly, trying to appear calm. "Please enjoy your drinks, everyone. My retainers have some matters to attend to, so they will go and take care of them first. They will definitely return later to drink with you all again."

As Liu Dexuan spoke, he led Zhuge Riyue and the two brothers Guan and Zhang away from the restaurant.

Patriarch Zheng Chunhua approached Zhao Kuangying, glanced at the departing Liu Dexuan, and slowly asked, "Brother Zhao, what do you think Liu Dexuan was up to, leaving in such a hurry?"

"What kind of medicine could it be? He's trying to be clever, trying to escape like his ancestor Liu Bang at the Feast at Hongmen!" Zhao Kuangying sneered and threw the wine cup back onto the table.

Chenjiagang Port.

Li Wuyue stood beside Ye Jingchen with her arms crossed, looking at the group of Chen family hybrids who carried semi-automatic rifles, alchemical grenades at their waists, and alchemical melee weapons on their backs, and said with a rather arrogant tone:

"Actually, even without these Chen family hybrids, I don't know how I would have lost. If I just unleashed my Dragon Might, few of them could withstand it."

"The words may be rough, but the reasoning is sound," Ye Jingchen nodded in affirmation of Li Wuyue's statement, but then shook his head, "We still can't be careless. There are hybrid monarchs among the hybrid races, and they should not be underestimated."

Li Wuyue's face showed a somewhat contemptuous look. "Whether it's a mixed-blood monarch or an artificial dragon servant, these things are incomplete. Forget it, let's not talk about that. What I'm more concerned about now are the mixed-bloods of the Chen family. Their bloodlines are too low, and they are not the kind of team worth subduing."

Ye Jingchen's gaze finally settled on Chen Xiaoxiao, the director in the white suit, and he said softly, "I originally didn't intend to subdue these Chen family half-bloods; it was just Chen Motong's wishful thinking."

The sound was very soft, and only Li Wuyue could hear it.

The tide lapped against the iron-gray embankment of Chenjiagang Port.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty, fishy smell, wafted into Chen Xiaoxiao's white suit.

She tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, her tactical gloves rubbing against the blue-and-white porcelain Glock at her waist, and the bronze short sword engraved with fish intestine patterns—an alchemical weapon that Chen Motong had secretly sent back from Kassel College for her eighteenth birthday celebration.

She was holding a compass and walked towards Ye Jingchen and Li Wuyue.

"Mr. Ye, are you sure you don't need the thermal imager?" Chen Xiaoxiao checked the wristwatch-style alchemical compass for the third time. "The third-generation 'Black Water Serpents' raised by the Zhao family are best known for their nighttime raids!"

Ye Jingchen calmly shook his head. "No need, you can keep it yourself."

Chen Xiaoxiao turned to look at Li Wuyue and asked, "And what about you?"

Li Wuyue chuckled and removed her sunglasses, her golden eyes flashing in the twilight: "The little dragon cub should run back to its lair as soon as it smells my scent."

She lightly touched the container at the dock, and dense gray scale patterns immediately appeared on the rusted iron sheet, a unique territorial mark of the King of the Sky and Wind.

All sub-dragon species will consciously retreat to a safe area after recognizing this territorial signal.

Ye Jingchen was squatting on the breakwater feeding seagulls, his black trench coat swaying in the air currents as the waves crashed against it.

Upon hearing Li Wuyue's words, he tossed the last half of the bread into the air: "Miss Chen, have you heard of the 'Fire Ox Formation of Maling Road'?"

He suddenly pointed to the distant horizon, "When the tide recedes to the third reef line, have the heavy-armored teams push the gasoline barrels mixed with dragon's blood powder into that spot and detonate them directly, if their base has naval support."

"Understood!" Chen Xiaoxiao replied, and suddenly a red alert popped up on her tactical tablet.

In the holographic projection, hundreds of drones hovered above the Zhao family's ancestral home, each carrying an alchemical beehive that could be created in conjunction with modern alchemy.

A virtual image of Zhuge Riyue appeared amidst the static: "Your Excellency, Patriarch Liu asked me to convey that peace is paramount, and the fleets of the four southern families have already moved from the coast..."

"Disconnect the communication." Ye Jingchen told Chen Xiaoxiao to disconnect the communication before the other party could finish playing the voice message.

Chen Xiaoxiao was wondering where the fleets of the four southern families would come from, and was about to end the voice call when Ye Jingchen spoke up, so she had no choice but to cut off the voice communication.

Chen Xiaoxiao couldn't contain her curiosity any longer and asked, "Special Envoy Ye, as the saying goes, 'Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.' Why don't you listen to the whole story, specifically which direction are they heading?"

"It doesn't matter which direction he comes from, what matters is which direction you're afraid he'll come from." Ye Jingchen straightened his collar and stood up straight.

Chen Xiaoxiao raised her hand and touched her chin. "Which direction am I most afraid they will come from? South F3 and South F9 are both relatively weak points. If I had to say which place I'm most afraid of, it would be these two."

"Then you should quickly send people to these places to strengthen the defenses!" Ye Jingchen said.

Chen Xiaoxiao immediately turned around, "I'm going right now!"

Watching Chen Xiaoxiao gradually leave, Li Wuyue approached Ye Jingchen and said, "She doesn't seem very bright."

Ye Jingchen looked closely at the silver earrings on Chen Xiaoxiao's ears. "She's probably not unintelligent; she's just pretending."

Li Wuyue: "I have a feeling that many of their mixed-race people will die this time."

Ye Jingchen: "That's inevitable. They might even think that we've just finished fighting the Zhou and Bai families and haven't recovered yet, and that the Chen family is just an insignificant force in the Dragon Kingdom."

Li Wuyue: "I'm starting to look forward to it."

The wind was howling on the deck, and the bow of the ship was cutting through the waves.

Inside the captain's office, the projection distorted violently, and half of Zhuge Riyue's face was suddenly covered by a bronze mask.

His pupils contracted sharply; the eye patterns on the mask were clearly Odin's one-eyed totem.

He instinctively opened the Eye of the Wind King, blowing away the chaotic holographic projections around him, only to see Liu Dexuan using his twin swords to pick up a small metal box, inside which a dragon embryo soaked in formalin was convulsing wildly.

"Just Odin's toy." Liu Dexuan tossed the embryo to Zhuge Riyue, "Use your bloodline resonance for reverse positioning."

Zhuge Riyue: "That guy on the other side named Ye Jingchen is not simple. He gives me the feeling that he can keep track of our movements at any time. No, to be precise, he is not afraid of us at all."

Liu Dexuan: "That's perfectly normal. How could an ordinary person possibly destroy the Zhou and Bai families, who have such deep roots? By the way, aren't the fleets of the Wu, Zheng, Wang, and the other three southern families ahead of us?"

Zhuge Riyue: "They were in front of us. I just used a little trick to turn our fleet from the vanguard to the rearguard."

Liu Dexuan smiled and said, "This plan is extremely clever, and I'll make the best of it."

On Ye Jingchen's side, Chen Motong actually appeared out of nowhere!

She was on her way to the airport from Kassel College while communicating with Chen Xiaoxiao via terminal.

Chen Motong burst into the command post at this moment, looked around, and asked, "Ye Jingchen, where is Chen Xiaoxiao?"

Her long red hair was covered in dust, and the Chen family badge on the right arm of her combat uniform was still dripping water.

Ye Jingchen: "I think it's F3 or F9 in the south, but I don't know where they're going."

Chen Motong nodded. "Okay, I'll go find her now."

As Chen Motong reached the door, he added:

"By the way, Zhao Kuangying hid the Blackwater Serpent's eggs in..."

Her words trailed off as she saw the embryo in Li Wuyue's hand, its features resembling her own. "Li Wuyue, what do you mean by this?"

"The Dragon King can control the genetic template of the Dragon Servants, which means he can also control the appearance changes of the Dead Servants." Ye Jingchen turned to glance at Chen Motong and asked, "Now do you know why your father insisted on your marriage to the Gattuso family?"

Chen Motong: "You mean, you want to use me as a medium to control what they want and serve the Gattuso family?"

Ye Jingchen: "This is the fundamental interest, but it's not that simple. The Black King's Egg is now in my hands."

Just then, twelve waterspouts suddenly rose from the sea level!

It swept the surface seawater straight into the clouds!

In an instant, dark clouds gathered, and lightning flashed and thunder roared!

As the Zhao family's alchemy submarine surfaced, the moment the hatch opened, foul-smelling snake blood poured out like a torrential downpour!

Chen Xiaoxiao's bronze short sword automatically unsheathed at her waist, its blade reflecting a terrifying image of countless black-scaled giant snakes churning in waves of blood.

The dark blood instantly spread across the azure sea!

Meanwhile, the four southern families, led by Liu Dexuan, and their four fleets also approached the shore!

"Ye Jingchen, things look bad. We seem to be surrounded." Li Wuyue stuck out her tongue and licked her red lips.

The greyish-white bone armor, instantly shimmering with a mother-of-pearl luster in the twilight, gradually covered its entire body. "I'm going into the sea to deal with those black sub-dragon serpents!"

"Dealing with these sub-dragons is a minor matter; you need to be careful of the offspring of the Ocean and Water King faction," Ye Jingchen warned.

Li Wuyue unfurled her greyish-white dragon bone wings, looked at Ye Jingchen, and nodded, "Understood!"

Having said that, it spread its wings and flew towards the sea!

Bathed in moonlight, they looked like vampires from movies and TV shows.

Ye Jingchen gazed at the distant horizon, as if something unpredictable was casting a huge shadow on the seabed:

"Why do I have this feeling that the King of the Ocean and Water is about to make his appearance?"
