Food Reserves on the Dragon's Back

"Indeed, none of us are mentally prepared, but as long as you, the leader, make such a decision, we will still try our best to get along with humans." Blue Dragon Lycell said, "But the problems on the human side are worse than ours. If it’s bigger, I’m afraid we can’t do anything about it.”

"When you first came back, you also saw the attitude of the onlookers." Xuefeng said with a slight sneer, "Although a few humans are so shrewd and cunning that it is hard to guard against, most of the people are so simple-minded I can't believe they come from the same species. Before the doom really falls on them, even the most obvious signs will be ignored by them. In the more than [-] years of our cooperation with humans, we have never let the orcs invade Andorcia. The land, not to mention the giant eagle knight, has not allowed the Giant Eagle Knight to cross the city wall. For many human beings, it has been a lifetime since they can remember. They have taken the stability of this line of defense for granted. Since Heather The king has no ability to change the general public's view of the Dragon Clan, so we might as well fulfill their wish, withdraw from the Dragon Peak, and throw them to the Giant Eagle Knight for a few years of education. At that time we will come back, I believe most of the current Human beings who hate dragons for no reason will learn to regard us as their saviors just like those of Dragon Worship Cult."

"...You're right." Sarannar smiled helplessly. "Humans are always like this. They don't know how to cherish when they have it. They always understand the importance after losing it."

"So have you decided, my leader?" Xuefeng looked at him without blinking her beautiful dark gray eyes.

"Of course, I'm not the kind of person who will be stubborn to the end." Sarannar said with a wry smile, "In order to fight the orcs in the past, before we had time to learn to trust each other, we were firmly bound by the situation prematurely." Together, and now, it is time to adjust the strategy."

"If you are the one who took the lead in proposing reforms, if you can be regarded as stubborn, there will be no flexible dragons in the world." Xue Feng smiled lightly, "The shelter you found at the risk of your life would be a good place to go, I will take Some people will go to search carefully again, and after checking out all possible dangers, send the children there first, and then let those humans resist the attack of the Giant Eagle Knight by themselves."

Sarannar nodded: "But everyone should remember that the current separation is for getting along better in the future, so don't do anything too extreme."

When Sarannar returned to the lair, Silas had fallen asleep on his desk.

Hearing the movement from Sarannar, he woke up suddenly, and looked at the human-shaped black dragon with bloodshot eyes: "Sarannar..."

Sarannar sighed: "Go to bed and sleep."

"Forget it, I'm not sleepy anymore." Silas rubbed his brows, and pulled aside all the scattered documents on the desk.

"Pause the work of rebuilding first, and don't tire yourself out." Salanar looked at Silas's bloodshot eyes and dark circles distressedly, "Looking at you like this, I'm starting to regret letting you be Dragon Knight Commander."

"No, I'm not tired, it's just that I'm not in a good mood." Silas just sat and hugged Sarannar's waist, leaning on his chest and sighing.

"What's wrong?" Sarannar patted his head comfortingly.

"A lot of things..." Silas said heavily, "Yeran died too, you know?"

"Yeah." Sarannar responded softly, "Xiancel is also very sad. She gave Yelan's family a lot of money, hoping to comfort Yelan's sacrifice."

"He has always been a good man. He taught me a lot when I first became your knight." Silas said gloomily, "He always said that a dragon knight could die in an accident or in a battle at any time. Every day should be cherished, I don't think he would have thought that his final ending would be like this."

Yelan was the only dragon knight who was not killed by a dragon that day. He stood up against and condemned the traitors before they wanted to storm the lair area, but the spy who was afraid of being exposed sneaked up and killed him. The other dragon knights would have also They were more or less dissatisfied with the Dragon Clan, but they had a disagreement with the spies because they saw Yelan being murdered. In the end, the Dragon Knights were divided into two factions, and many people fled from the Dragon Peak.

Sarannar's new knight, Harrick, also disappeared that day. As Prince Alistar's messenger next to Sarannar, of course he would not attack the lair with the spies, and the attack had not yet begun. At that time, he left the Dragon Peak with those who opposed him, but then he disappeared without a trace. According to the analysis of Smiling Hand, his identity may have been discovered long ago. King Heather did not want At this juncture, the Dragon Clan and Testara were flirting with each other, so the military intelligence department took the opportunity to kill this pawn.

"You said you wanted me to be your right-hand man, and I tried not to let you down." Silas sighed, "But I don't think I'm really suitable for these things."

"It doesn't matter, if you don't like it, you can leave it to others to do it in the future, there is no need to force yourself."

Silas breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little guilty after all: "I'm sorry."

"Why do you have to apologize? You just need to live according to your own mind." Sarannar smiled softly, patted him on the back and said, "I heard that taking a hot bath can make you feel better. Let's go." Come on, let's take a mandarin duck bath."

Silas followed Saranal, took off his clothes and entered the hot spring pool. He pushed aside Saranal's soft black hair, took a towel and carefully scrubbed Saranal's broad shoulders.

For a long time, neither of them spoke, and finally Silas broke the silence first: "Why do you seem to be in a worse mood than me, what happened?"

"I'm thinking about how to tell you." Salanar said lying on the edge of the hot spring pool, "Although King Heather is trying to restore it, human beings are now very resistant to the dragon clan, otherwise such outrageous things would not have happened. Due to the rebellion incident, the Dragon Clan can no longer cooperate with humans, so we decided to leave the Dragon Peak."

"...It turned out like this in the end." Silas sighed, put down the towel in his hand, took the wooden comb and began to comb Sarannar's hair.

"I can't help it. The dragons can't resist the attack of the giant eagle knight for humans while being abused and attacked by humans. Even if I don't care, other dragons will not be willing." Salanar said, "Although We also know that this rebellion is a conspiracy planned by the orcs, but our people were killed by humans after all."

"I know that you are always trying your best to promote the harmonious coexistence between humans and dragons, and you definitely don't want things to turn out like this." In fact, Silas was not very surprised by this result, he just felt sad, "In the future What will people do when the orcs come over again?"

He can almost foresee the ending of the wars, killings, and destruction of the city that will happen in his homeland, but he can't do anything about it. At this moment, he hates those lunatic rebellious dragons more than the dragon clan on the top of the dragon. People like knights and idiots, dragons have no obligation to defend the sky of mankind without complaint or regret. It is the existence of these people that more sober and innocent people are implicated.

"It feels like a quagmire. Although I have been working hard, I still can only watch things continue to develop in the direction I least want to see." Salanar smiled bitterly at himself, "This feeling of powerlessness is really not very pleasant."

"Don't say such things, you have always been the strongest in my heart." Silas hugged Sarannar's back, "When are you going to leave?"

"It's not yet decided, we still need to prepare for a while." Sarannar turned around and gently lifted Silas' jaw, "We will temporarily move to the island I found to live, Will you come with me?"

"Of course I will." Silas said without any hesitation.

Sarannar smiled reassuringly: "Although I know you will say this, I am really worried that you will choose to stay and die with your people because of some inexplicable emotions."

Silas also smiled: "If I really make that choice, what are you going to do?"

"Grab." Sarannar said a word confidently, "I like you so much, how can I allow you to leave me without authorization."

"It's really a rough style." Silas lowered his head, brushed a strand of Sarannar's black hair that was wet with water, and combed it again, "As long as you like me a little bit, I'm very happy Well, don't like it too much."

Sarannar looked at him suspiciously: "You think I like it too much, what's the reason?"

Silas tried his best to make his smile as calm as the surface of water: "I'm just a mortal, and I will grow old one day. If you still don't want me when I die, what should you do?"

"Don't worry about this, as long as I think about it, I naturally have a way to make you live as long as the dragon... But I haven't decided whether to do it or not." Salanar stroked the bruise on Silas's cheek with the back of his finger. Skin, this action made Silas feel as awkward as a delicate porcelain vase that was treated with care.

Silas can also be regarded as a powerful warrior among humans. He has proved his bravery and unyieldingness through actions several times, but in the eyes of Salanar, who is a dragon, there is nothing wrong with him. Soft, with a little force, the skin will turn red or even bruise, and it will be injured and bleed if it is scratched by a sharp object. It is so soft that Sarannar is more and more afraid to touch him hard.

Sarannar's touch finally stayed on his soft lips: "From a more selfish point of view, I really hope to prolong your life, so that you can accompany me until the end of my life, but I think this kind of thing is still It should be left to you to choose."

Being teased like this, Silas bit his finger lightly in dissatisfaction: "Is there any good choice here, isn't it good to live a long life?"
