"So, don't you give us an explanation, Iroh?"

Hilcart stared at the young green dragon standing beside Ello with an unkind expression, and the dullness in his heart was already overflowing.

Seriously, it's not like Hilkat doesn't know what a faction in the dragon clan should look like. The Legacy Memory makes it clear that while it is true that there will be changes in the order of faction members, they will happen very rarely.

But the Tokamaks don't seem to fit that description.

Let's see, at first he was able to get to third in Hilcat, then after the arrival of Karamank, his ranking became fourth, and then the arrival of Noele made his ranking drop again, and now there is another green dragon, and Iroh has rightfully put her in second place!

In this way, isn't your ranking falling backwards?

Thinking of this, Hillcutt's anger was even greater. Although he knew that the other party was definitely better than Karamank just by looking at his size, there was nothing wrong with ranking second. But...... The feeling of being weakened for no reason, he hated it very much.

Damn, he's a descendant of the mighty House of Hall, and a good half-blood dragon!

Even if that family is blind for a while, they will definitely regret it in the future!

It can be said that this idea has always made him persist in his efforts, but he didn't expect that the reality seems to be a little worse than the ideal......

When he first joined the Tokamaks, he and Vis thought of waiting until they had completed their second awakening before challenging Ello. Although I am awakened now, I find that the gap between the other party and myself seems to be even greater.

This frustration, mixed with annoyance, really made him very unhappy.

"Oh, explain what?"

Before Iroh could speak, Natalie glanced at her, "Do you want him or me to explain how weak you are?"

"You guy!"

Naturally, Hillcat couldn't be stimulated, and as soon as his brain was hot, he pounced.

"Okay...... Ves, remember to take care of him a little more. Looking at the two dragons who immediately entered the fight, Arlo gestured to Vess, who was a little dumbfounded on the side, "Learn more from Karamank, it is still important to adjust your mentality, at least in this faction." ”

What is this?

A sense of powerlessness welled up in Ves's heart, and although the battle had only just begun, the result was already clear: Natalie didn't use three moves to leave Hillcat with only the power to parry.

And according to Iroh...... I'm afraid that stronger dragons will join this faction in the future?

He suddenly felt that the idea that he had been planning to replace Iroh was so stupid.

Compared with the two little black dragons, the young blue dragon is more open-minded, of course, this is not because he is not self-motivated, but he simply does not want to compare with others.

Maybe for the red dragon and the black dragon, the ranking in the faction is still very important, but Karamank knows that if he can't be the boss, there is not much difference in fact, at most it is just a matter of face. After all, strictly speaking, only the boss of the faction can order other members, and this is not a mandatory requirement.

Because for the dragons, their social pressure is almost completely lacking.

Social norms have shaped the civilization of humanoid creatures in all respects. Laws and taboos, traditions and beliefs are the building blocks of all large societies. If a person does not steal a neighbor's property for fear of punishment, or a dwarf does not kill a member of a rival clan to avoid revenge, this is social norms at work.

But dragons don't have these pressures.

They have traditions, but for dragons in general, there is no convergent psychological pressure or management mechanism urging them to follow those traditions.

It can be said that whether or not the dragon follows tradition depends entirely on the beliefs of the individual. With the exception of a very rare dragon society, dragons have no laws that prohibit specific behaviors.

So in a faction, the difference between superiors and subordinates is really not that obvious.

"Alright, all quiet. ”

Seeing that Hilkat was finally pressed to the ground by Natalie, Iroh was not surprised, but raised his voice slightly. Trying to stop the infighting of the colored dragons is a dream, and their greed, hostility, and distrust nature means that they cannot unite like humans.

However, Iroh was not naïve enough to change the relationship, as long as his subordinates didn't hold him back because of it - in other words, Iroh at least hoped that the infighting would not exceed a limit.

"I'm honored that Natalie is joining us and being the second in the faction. ”

Hearing this, Natalie let go of Hilcart and walked back to Iroh despite the latter's fiery eyes.

"Noele, I've wronged you to be the third for the time being. ”

"It's all right, my lord. The Silver Dragon Mage smiled slightly, as a metal dragon, he really didn't care about the rankings or anything. What he is currently pursuing is nothing more than knowledge in the ruins and a stable research environment.

Karamanque automatically became fourth. Iroh continued.

Blue Dragon was also not surprised by this result, Natalie's strength was already there. In fact, he didn't even have to fight, just making sure that Natalie was already a young dragon was enough to convince him.

For dragons, if they are divided according to age groups, then there will be two moats in the dragon's life: one between juvenile and young adult, and another between old age and ancient dragon. Whether or not you cross the moat has a decisive impact on the strength of the dragon.

In the tens of thousands of years of dragon history, juvenile dragons have defeated juvenile dragons many times and adult dragons have defeated old dragons, but the number of times juvenile dragons have defeated young dragons and the number of times old dragons have defeated ancient dragons...... Handful!

The dragons who can cross this moat are all legends of the future generation. For example, the leader of the Golden Dragon Clan, known as the strongest metal dragon today, the Holy Judgment Venerable, such as the most famous ally of the Elven Clan in the Eastern Continent, the mysterious Amethyst Dragon Darast who single-handedly lifted the siege of millions of troops in the ancient royal court of the Orc Clan, and the existence that stands at the apex of the entire Dragon Clan......

So after learning that Iroh and Natalie were tied, the three dragons really extinguished their desire to overthrow Iroh at the first time, and Karamank further became Iro's supporter.

Maybe Weiss and Hilcart were too young to understand how terrible it was about Iroh, but Karamank was different.

He had fought against Iroh head-on, and he had received the mysterious power of the nuke......

It can be said that the stronger you are, the more you can understand the unfathomable depths of Iroh.

"Vess ......"

Iroh looked at the little black dragon who had only recovered yesterday, and announced his decision in the latter's uneasy eyes: "You haven't been in good health lately, so let's be behind Hilcart first." ”

"I see. ”

A little dryly replied, but a big stone in Ves's heart was put down.

Sometimes the dragon's psychology is so strange, and it makes him very disturbed that Iroh has not punished Vis further, because he can feel that Iroh is not a forgiving person. The absence of punishment may mean that there will be greater punishment later.

On the other hand, Hillcart's mind was a little more balanced - his position finally did not continue to decline. Although there is a suspicion of stepping on his brother's position, it is much better than falling to the sixth place.

"Natalie, I'll leave the forest we fought against before, I'll leave it to you. ”

After announcing the latest ranking, Iroh turned his gaze to the green dragon again, who nodded nonchalantly before adding.

"Next time, I'll make you my prey. ”

"I'll look forward to it. ”

Naturally, Iroh wasn't annoyed by her attitude, and he had more or less noticed in the past two days that Natalie was such a character, and she didn't seem interested in anything other than fighting.

Among the green dragons, Natalie is definitely an outlier, just like Iroh is an outlier in the black dragons.

Of course, after meeting Noele, Iroh also began to suspect that he was not a black dragon. But even the well-informed Noelé can't confirm Iroh's true race, so Iroh still considers himself a black dragon for now.

However, Iroh still has to say that it is too timely to be able to summon this green dragon.

While Natalie is technically responsive - something Iroh has confirmed to her and roughly deduced the form of the summon: dragons don't normally respond to dragons, but Natalie's talent "Spirit of Nature" makes her an exception.

As for timeliness, on the one hand, it is naturally because of Natalie's strength. Not only is she a young dragon, but she is also extremely strong in hand-to-hand combat and sneak attacks, and Iroh believes that she will not be Natalie's opponent if she does not rely on nuclear radiation and fights fairly.

I was able to draw with her before, but in fact, a lot of it was thanks to my strategy and learning ability. And Natalie almost completely relied on her own strength and experience to fight, and with one increase and one decrease, she could be tied, so it is conceivable that she is strong.

On the other hand, there is Natalie's talent - "Nature Spirit"!

That's right, the method that Natalie used to spy on Iroh at that time was her talent. This ability allows her to communicate with animals and plants, spreading her spiritual power into the natural world. If it's in the forest, you can monitor everything within a radius of 10 kilometers!

To put it mildly, as long as it is in the forest environment, Natalie is the strongest early warning.

This talent is the same as Noele's, it has no attack power, but for the current Iroh, it is definitely more useful than the offensive talent.

Iroh wasn't in a hurry to start the next summon right away, even though he already had a million faith points in his hands.

After the customary faction dinner, the dragons returned to their respective territories. Their strong territorial instincts make them not like to be together for long periods of time, even if they are in the same faction, even the closest to human characteristics, even the silver dragon, and they don't want to stay with their kind of people all day.

Even the brothers Vis and Hillcutt, who have the same blood in their bodies, actually see each other very rarely. If it weren't for the lethal radiation that Vess received last time, which made them a little closer, I'm afraid they wouldn't see each other once a month.

"I think it's time to look at that arena again. ”

Lying alone in the castle hall, Iroh muttered to himself as he played with the strange obsidian in his paws.
