275: Preparations before the decisive battle

"Davis is going to start the decisive battle in ten days!?"

Upon seeing the content of the challenge, Ou Weng was startled.

"Davis is a smart man. Once the news of the Daughter of the Dragon God acquiring the Supreme Ancient Title spreads completely throughout the Southern Dragon Realm, internal strife will inevitably arise in the South."

"I anticipated that he would react to this, but I didn't expect his reaction to be so extreme, actually wanting to engage in a final decisive battle with me directly."

Woodken, the Dragon King, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, his thick brows furrowed slightly. Clearly, Davis's overly aggressive reaction also somewhat exceeded his expectations.

Because...

The overall strength of the Northern Dragon Clan and Southern Dragon Clan had always been similar. Especially, he and Davis, the two Dragon King leaders, were equally matched in strength, making it difficult to determine who was superior.

This was why the split in the South had persisted.

Now, with the return of the Daughter of the Dragon God, their Northern Dragon Clan was gradually gaining some advantage.

However, the Daughter of the Dragon God was still young, and before she fully matured, she still did not possess the strength to completely end the division.

Therefore, Woodken had previously deliberately spread the news only to put some pressure on the Southern Dragon Clan, causing internal chaos, and thus buying more time for the Daughter of the Dragon God to develop.

Yet, he never expected Davis's reaction to be so strong, directly sending him a challenge for a decisive battle.

"Where does Davis get the confidence to start a decisive battle at this time?" Ou Weng couldn't help but ask.

According to the Dragon Clan's past situation, before the Daughter of the Dragon God returned, both sides were in a stalemate.

Now that their Northern Dragon Clan had welcomed back the Daughter of the Dragon God, the scales of victory were clearly tipping in their favor.

Previously, when both sides were in a stalemate, Davis didn't dare to initiate a decisive battle.

How could he, when he was clearly showing signs of decline, be so decisive in wanting to engage in an ultimate showdown with them now?

"That's also the question I've been thinking about ever since I received the challenge..."

Woodken, the Dragon King, murmured. He had dealt with Davis for many years, and the latter was not a reckless person.

Daring to start a war at this time, he must have his own confidence.

"No matter what, this battle will determine the future fate of my Dragon Clan! Since Davis dares to go all out, my Northern Dragon Clan will accompany him to the end!"

Woodken's eyes were firm, and his words were powerful and resonant.

As his voice fell, he ordered Ou Weng to immediately prepare, gather all the Northern Dragon Clan powerhouses who were out, and prepare for a showdown with the Southern Dragon Clan in ten days.

"Yes!"

Ou Weng dared not delay and immediately took his leave.

Just as Lin Yang was also preparing to withdraw...

"Little friend, wait a moment, I have something to say to you..."

Woodken, the Dragon King, called out to him.

"What are Senior's instructions?" Lin Yang asked.

"It's not an instruction, just something I'd like to ask of you, little friend," Woodken, the Dragon King, said.

"Senior, please speak freely," Lin Yang said.

Woodken, the Dragon King, looked deeply at Lin Yang and said solemnly, "In ten days... if my Northern Dragon Clan is ultimately defeated, I want to ask you, little friend, to take the Empress away from this place and hide in Lingxiao Heaven. No matter what, you must ensure that the Daughter of the Dragon God survives safely!"

Lin Yang's pupils contracted upon hearing this, and after a long silence, he slowly said, "Senior Woodken, do you lack confidence in the decisive battle against the Southern Dragon Clan?"

"Haha... it's not that I lack confidence."

Hearing this, Woodken smiled bitterly and shook his head: "If it were just the Southern Dragon Clan, I am confident that this battle is a sure win. But I'm afraid... Davis has completely abandoned the former glory of the Dragon Clan and chosen to fall into the Eerie Clan..."

...The Falling King Star Realm, a large star located in the central area of the Dragon Clan's Northern and Southern Star Domain.

In the past, the Southern Dragon Clan had fought fiercely on this star multiple times, with offensive and defensive shifts several times, and no one could long hold this star for themselves.

The name 'Falling King' originates from an extremely ancient era.

Legend has it that in an incredibly distant age, two ancient kings engaged in a life-and-death duel here, ultimately ending with one king's blood spilling across the Star Domain, perishing in battle.

Although this legend cannot be verified due to the passage of too much time,

this does not affect the importance of this star among the many Star Realms in the Dragon Domain.

Now, Davis, the Dragon King of the Southern Dragon Clan, has chosen this place for the decisive battle with the Northern Dragon Clan. It is likely that he also wishes to emulate the duel of the two ancient kings in the legend.

With the fall of one king, to put an end to the long-standing division of the Dragon Clan... Ten days, not short, not long.

During this period, both sides were meticulously preparing for war.

And Artoria, after successfully suppressing the Seal of Myriad Precepts Inevitably Broken on her body with an ancient Dragon secret method, successfully emerged from her seclusion.

At this time, she was no longer the clingy little golden-haired pixie she once was.

Now, Artoria was tall and slender, with long hair flowing, and a platinum battle robe fluttering in the wind.

The battle robe was not bulky; the upper part clung to her graceful and curvaceous body, outlining elegant and sensual delicate curves.

The lower part of the battle robe was separated from the upper body by a golden belt, and as the battle robe fluttered in the wind, a pair of fair and slender jade legs were faintly revealed.

Unlike before, the Artoria who now bore the Supreme Leader Ancient Title of the Dragon Clan, on her delicate, flawless face, in addition to her usual faint charm, also possessed a noble and sacred cold purity.

Although still young, her picturesque, slender eyebrows already subtly revealed a natural aura of a superior.

As a born ruler of the True Dragon Clan, only when the day of her true maturity arrives, that majestic aura, which commands respect without anger, will naturally draw all directions to her.

"Greetings, Lady Artoria!"

Now, walking within the Dragon Clan's Star Realm, anyone who saw Artoria would stop and respectfully bow.

Even Lin Yang, seeing her from afar, couldn't help but feel a surge of emotion.

The little girl who used to follow him was now clearly a graceful and elegant young empress.

During this period, Artoria also diligently fulfilled her duties as the leader of the Dragon Clan.

She continuously familiarized herself with the various affairs of the Dragon Clan.

She didn't come to find Lin Yang again.

This made Lin Yang feel a bit lonely.

A sense of loneliness like an empty-nester elder whose children are busy outside and can't come home for the New Year.

However, he quickly had to put this feeling aside.

Because, as time passed little by little, the great war between the Northern Dragon Clan and Southern Dragon Clan was already close at hand.

This was a battle that concerned the future fate of the Dragon Clan!

But the words that Woodken, the Dragon King, had previously given him in private, caused Lin Yang to feel a hint of unease.

"Current draw: Undying Nether Grass, Nine Revolutions Great Strength Pill."

Lin Yang checked the System's current lottery pool and found that it now contained two Spirit Pills.

Although both were very good, they offered little help in changing the current situation, which made him feel a bit disappointed.

Afterward, he carefully searched for items in the System Shop.

He hoped to find a power among them that could turn the tide in the upcoming battle.

And heaven rewards those who try. After searching back and forth for more than two hours, Lin Yang really found a treasure that could change the course of the battle.

"Ultimate emperor armor Experience Card, sixty thousand Faith Points per card..."
