It's rare for a reality to go according to plan.

There will always be things that you ignore on a daily basis, and even more so things that have nothing to do with the plan, that affect a certain part of the plan and cause everything to get out of control.

This is not unusual.

Even if the wise generals of the past generations are wise and close to demons, because of some unexpected small factors, it is not uncommon for plans to get out of control. What's more, it's Zheng Ming, who has always thought that he is not good at strategy.

There is no guarantee that his plan will take all the factors. All he can do is to constantly exercise his judgment at critical moments, and when working towards the general direction of the plan, he can make the most appropriate judgment in the shortest time even if he encounters turbulence.

Thankfully, years of experience in facing the enemy and fighting between life and death have given him a certain advantage in this regard. This is also one of the reasons why he has been able to survive until now.

On the other hand, he always thinks about the worst-case scenario and leaves some backhand on that premise.

Zheng Ming is very glad that he has adhered to his usual style. It is precisely because of this kind of thinking mode like persecution paranoia that Zheng Ming, whose flight speed is not as fast as the green dragon Ebolfes, did not follow the green dragon who was blocked by the border reserve army.

In the same way, it was precisely because Zheng Ming evacuated the residents of several small towns and villages on the border in advance that he avoided the fate of being slaughtered and minimized the losses.

Along the way, Zheng Ming, who was rid of the green dragon several times and followed the traces again, finally found the trace of the green dragon in a forest near the Chia Mountains and the territory of the Lancelot family.

At this time, the green dragon Abpheis was already at the end of his crossbow. His wounds were deep in his bones, and they became more and more hideous in the fierce confrontation and escape along the way. The dragon's blood, which had almost flowed in, solidified black and red on the surface of the wound.

The dragon wings, which were already incomplete, were cut into tatters by the rocks on the ground because of the momentum of their fall from mid-air.

The green dragon Abdefus noticed Zheng Ming, who descended from the sky and turned into a human form.

He tried to hold his body up, but after trying to find that his body was not moving. He could only reluctantly turn the dragon's neck and looked at Zheng Ming, who was standing in front of his dragon's head.

"You should laugh. This is the minimum respect that the winner has for the loser. ”

The wanton spitting of dragon breath along the way had completely damaged his throat. The dragon groan that caused him to be hoarse and weak like a muddy wind blowing through a broken bellows.

"You keep saying that you can change contractors at will for your own purposes. But why would you use the last vestige of your remaining strength to destroy everywhere? Don't you know that the greater the loss you inflict, the less likely Arthur is to accept you? Are you doing all this because of that order from Drogo Ryan? ”

From the hinterland of the Dorne Kingdom, all the way to the border of the Celtic Kingdom, the seriously injured Green Dragon disregarded his own almost crazy revenge, as well as its tenacious vitality, all of which brought Zheng Ming a lot of shock.

At this time, looking at the green dragon Abdefis, who had run out of oil, what occupied Zheng Ming's heart was not the joy of victory, but the endless doubts.

Zheng Ming's question also made the green dragon Aboffis slightly stunned.

"yes. Didn't I enter this world because I was fed up with the weakness of the race and wanted to win and make changes? ”

His thoughts turned, and he seemed to return to the time when he was young, when he was ostracized by the rest of the dragon race. It is a weak green dragon clan, but also because some old accounts from hundreds of years ago are hated by most dragons, and the inheritance of the dragon clan does not have his share, and the taste of those genius earth treasures can only stay in other people's descriptions.

It's because I can't bear the oppression, and I can't get used to seeing the same people who have accepted their fate and bear it silently, so I tried my best to get a place and join this fight, isn't it?

"And what are you for? How much better could you be hurt than I am? ”

The green dragon Abbotis, who had not been able to come to a conclusion, looked a little dazed, hoping that he could draw an answer from the other party's answer.

"Me? Because of Arthur. I want him not only to win, but also to make him the only king. That's his ideal, and that's my goal right now. These are things I owe him. Are you, who keep saying that the contractor is a pet animal, and are now willing to die for him? ”

In just a moment, the bits and pieces of more than ten years flowed through the heart of the green dragon Abfes.

From the beginning, a strong figure who threw an olive branch at him after killing the first contractor. And the pleasure of fighting side by side on the battlefield later.

When he was alone, he stroked his injuries and revealed distressed eyes. The distressing side face when admiring the moon alone in the dead of night.

Zogo Ryan has the strong self-confidence that the green dragon Abbotphes yearns for, but also has a similar loneliness and helplessness as him. The pleasure and peace of mind when being with him was something that the Green Dragon had never had.

He longed for the Khan. If he cannot be called king even as hot as the sun and as fierce as the wind of the steppe, then who is qualified to be king?

Who could be a better contractor than him?

"No, only Drogo is worthy of being king. He was supposed to be standing at the top and looking down on the whole world. If it weren't for the fact that I'm too weak......"

Zheng Ming saw that the green dragon Abolfes who seriously refuted him, and did not argue much. Instead, he smiled brightly.

"You see, even if you hate each other, it will take more than ten years to develop feelings. Even if it is a pet, the accumulation of bonds and emotions for more than ten years will make people willing to work hard for it. ”

Here, when Zheng Ming was still rejoicing that what he believed in had been confirmed again, the green dragon Abfes, who was already dying, vaguely remembered the teachings of his parents and their instructions before leaving.

"Humans are terrible creatures. They come up with concepts that they can't see and can't touch, and they believe in them. Among them, love, friendship, and family affection are the most typical. By the time you come back to your senses, you're already in the middle of it. ”

"Watch out for humans. Their things will certainly be beautiful and make the dragon's heart yearn for it. But it is deeper than a curse to the marrow, more contagious than a plague, and weaker than a toxin. These will cause your dragon soul and spirit to be harmed, and these pains are thousands of times more intense than physical pain. ”

The green dragon Ebolfes's dragon pupils became more and more dim, and the dragon's body, which had lost too much blood and was full of wounds, began to stiffen.

"Na, human beings are really scary~. I seem to be infected. ”

The green dragon Abbotis passed away after leaving one last sentence.

And Zheng Ming noticed a crystal clear teardrop dripping from his dragon pupils.

Is it because of hate? No! Is it because of remorse? Not like! What is the reason for this tear? Zheng Ming didn't know, maybe even the green dragon itself couldn't say why.

Zheng Ming, who had been immersed in his own world and couldn't extricate himself, picked up the tears of the green dragon that quickly formed into drop-shaped crystals on the ground, and his expression was slightly dazed.

Shocked? Yes.

A dragon who behaves very selfishly and viciously dies of exhaustion for the sake of the pet animal in his mouth. In the end, it broke Zheng Ming's cognition and shed tears that should have been only humans.

This was different from the death of the ice dragon before, and it brought Zheng Ming another shock.

"Humans are truly scary!"

Zheng Ming, who possessed a human soul, sighed with emotion, reached out and pressed the head of the green dragon Abdefis, and then activated the devouring ability.
