From Baron's Second Son to Dragon Rider

To be honest, Vashchi is actually more inclined to surrender in her heart.

After all, the only superior dragon of the Naga tribe has been contracted by Krober. Even if they do not surrender, they will not be able to maintain their dominance.

It would be better to join Krober's command. Under the protection of Lord Yangliu Long, this guy would not treat them too harshly.

But there is always a little bit of unwillingness in Vaschi's heart.

When she first heard about Krober, she didn't really think highly of this pretty boy who earned a knighthood by eating soft food.

The reason why he sent the mission was because of the principality and kingdom behind him.

Later, she finally put Krober on equal footing.

As a result, it didn't take long for this guy to contract my ocean current dragon in front of me.

In an instant, the gap in strength and status between the two of them widened.

Who can feel better now?

The Kur guys did it simply because they had no choice. They relied too much on the environment provided by the warm current.

But Naga has no such reason!

…

It's not that she can't accept this gap.

Mainly, the gap happened so quickly that she was caught off guard.

She admitted that she was a little stupid at the time.

So much so that he lured the wolf into the house and introduced the scourge of Krober into his own home.

Not only that, she also felt that Krober was a bit elusive.

From the beginning to the end, Vashchi didn't know what he wanted and what plans he had for the Naga tribe.

All this confused and disturbed Vashj.

The image of Krober in her heart now is too mysterious.

But she also knew that if she chose to resist, it might bring greater disaster to the Naga tribe.

Therefore, she could only temporarily put aside her unwillingness and wait for the opportunity to see if she could find a better solution.

"The Naga tribe...are also willing to be loyal to His Majesty the Ocean Current Dragon Knight."

Here, she played a little trick.

It did not say that it was loyal to Krober, but that it was loyal to the Ocean Current Dragon Knight.

Strictly speaking, there is no difference.

Because the Ocean Current Dragon Knight is Krobo, and Krobo is also an Ocean Current Dragon Knight.

However, this little language trick makes a subtle difference in the entire sentence.

It implies that the Naga tribe has a prerequisite for loyalty to Krober and is more inclined to be loyal to his identity and strength.

At the same time, it is also a kind of self-comfort.

That is to say, the Naga clan is not just surrendering to Krobo personally, but also out of awe of the identity of the Ocean Current Dragon Knight.

This way of expression not only shows the wisdom and prudence of the Naga people, but also reserves a certain amount of leeway and autonomy for them.

This phrasing allows them to remain loyal while maintaining a certain amount of flexibility so that they don't get bogged down in absolute limbo.

In short, although this small trick may seem trivial, it contains Vashchi's thoughtfulness.

It demonstrates Vashj's keen insight into political relationships and protective awareness of her own interests.

How should I put it, a little clever, but not much.

At least Klober could spot her word play at a glance.

He raised the corners of his mouth, looked at Vasqi who was leading the tribe to surrender to him, and said disdainfully:

"Your Excellency Vasqi, it seems that you haven't figured out the current situation yet."

"It seems that I don't really need the Naga tribe's support."

Krober himself values ​​loyalty very much.

Loyalty is not absolute, it is absolutely disloyal.

He holds the life of the Kur people in his hands, which is the basis of their "loyalty".

So Klober will trust them more.

As for those officials and nobles, all their status and wealth depended on Krober, so he could trust them.

The greatest value of the Naga clan, Ocean Current Dragon, has already signed a contract with Krober.

This means they have lost their most powerful backing and protection.

If Vashchi could recognize the reality and understand the current situation, then he might show great kindness to the Nagas for the sake of Yangliu, not only safeguarding their status, but also providing food for free.

However, all this is based on the premise that the Naga tribe must show absolute loyalty to him.

However, judging from the attitude shown by Vashchi, Krober knew that there was still a gap and dissatisfaction in her heart that was difficult to eliminate.

"Look around you!"

Krober's voice sounded with an irresistible force.

Vaschi subconsciously obeyed Krober's order. She looked around and scanned the surrounding scene.

She was surprised to find that at this moment, the rulers of the small tribe were staring at her with eyes full of threats and greed.

This look felt extremely familiar to Vashchi.

That was the look in the eyes of wild beasts when they were hunting for prey, and now, the Nagas had become the prey in the eyes of these small tribes.

"presumptuous!"

Vashj roared angrily, her voice filled with indignation.

They are noble Nagas!

A born magical life form!

How dare such weak and humble ants look at them with such eyes?

Vashj couldn't stand the feeling of being slighted and insulted.

Although the Naga tribe lost the protection of Lord Yangliu Long, they still have the strength to crush these small tribes.

dignity!

She will never allow anyone to trample on her!

However, along with the anger comes a deep sense of fear.

Because Vashj realized that the Naga tribe was facing an unprecedented predicament.

Without the existence of the upper dragon, they had lost their absolute dominance.

The few high-end combat forces of the Naga tribe now were a dragon knight and five lower-level sea dragons.

Despite this, their strength was still strong enough to easily crush any small race present.

However, if these races united to fight against the Naga tribe, the outcome would be unpredictable.

At least the high-end combat power of the seahorse tribe and the sea snake tribe combined was enough to compete with the Naga tribe.

Of course, in the entire central part of the Azure Sea, only these two races still had high-level combat power such as dragon knights.

In addition to these two races, other races have either migrated elsewhere or completely disappeared in the long river of history.

At this moment, the dragon rider of the seahorse tribe seemed to realize this. He hurried forward and said to Krobel with a flattering face:

"Your Majesty Krobel, I am the patriarch of the seahorse tribe. I swear allegiance to you on behalf of our entire tribe. I hope you can allow me to serve you."

Krobel smiled slightly when he heard this, but did not respond. Instead, he continued to focus his eyes on Vashj.

The dragon rider of the sea snake tribe hesitated for a long time when he saw this, and finally stood behind Vashj.

"Your Excellency Vashj, as a branch of the Naga tribe, the sea snake tribe has been loyal to the Naga since ancient times. Now that something unexpected has happened, our sea snake tribe will continue to be loyal to you and the Naga, even if it will lead to destruction!"
