The Warrior of Love

"Yes, and then slowly, the height at which the nest is built has become a symbol of status for the dragon clan."

"That's right..."

Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and said, "Then there is no need for us to attack head-on. Can't we just land directly on the highest "Dragon's Nest"?"

"Hey?" Aisi's voice was a little panicked, "Fly to the Dragon's Nest? I, I have never tried it. Only the clan leader can do that. Mother will scold me to death!"

"It'll be okay. Your mother is unconscious now anyway."

Jiang Liu said jokingly, "When we rescue her, she will be praising you so much that she won't have time to blame you."

"Yeah, that's right! She will definitely praise me!"

Ai Si barely convinced herself, and after a while she hesitated and spoke to Jiang Liu.

"Then... My Lord, can I make a request?"

"What?" Jiang Liu didn't care. "Tell me about it."

"My compatriots did do a lot of bad things, and many people died as a result... but this was not their intention."

There was a hint of urgency in Aisi's words: "During the battle, can you try to spare their lives?"

Jiang Liu just smiled when he heard this: "You are not worried that I will lose."

"The hero will not lose!" Ai Si said firmly, "I have never seen a being stronger than the hero. Even the devil cannot compare to him!"

After saying that, she fell silent, waiting anxiously for Jiang Liu's decision.

She knew that her request was actually "very rude" because showing mercy to the enemy in battle was a very dangerous behavior and would also restrict Jiang Liu's hands and feet, which was like putting a layer of shackles on him invisibly.

As a brave man, Jiang Liu naturally stands on the side of justice. Regardless of whether the Ice Dragon Clan did it intentionally or not, it is unquestionable that they have harmed humans. Therefore, it is only natural for Jiang Liu to attack the Ice Dragon Clan, and he does not need to compromise for anyone.

Even if he killed all the Ice Dragons... according to the moral standards of this world, he would not have to bear any psychological pressure.

So Aisi was very nervous. Having seen Jiang Liu in action, she knew very well the gap between an ordinary adult dragon and a brave man.

It seems that even her mother could not be Jiang Liu's opponent. However, if all the ice dragons rush forward together, the outcome of the battle might still be a bit suspenseful.

If Jiang Liu started killing without restraint, the Ice Dragon Clan would surely suffer heavy losses, and even her mother might be killed...

"Okay..." Jiang Liu said casually, "I don't care. Since you said so, I'll try my best to save their lives."

"Hey, really?!"

Aisi was so surprised that the smooth flight trajectory began to shake, which scared the three people on her back.

"Thank you so much! I...I will definitely repay you in the future!"

The immature Blue Dragon girl didn't dare to say that she could definitely help Jiang Liu, but the excitement in her heart was so complicated that it was difficult to express.

"Calm down, Ais."

Jiang Liu suddenly stood up and picked up Hebe like a princess.

"Ah!" The silver-haired girl exclaimed, "Don't be so sudden... What's wrong?"

Jiang Liu didn't look down at the girl's blushing face, but just looked ahead calmly: "Get ready to land."

Ais also calmed down, quietly increasing her flying altitude and rising into the clouds. The flapping amplitude and frequency of her wings slowly slowed down, and she began to use wind magic to lift her body, gliding through the light gray clouds.

Aaliyah also stood up and leaned against Jiang Liu: "I'm a little nervous..."

"Can such a small scene make the goddess nervous?" Jiang Liu smiled playfully.

The red-haired goddess couldn't help but pout: "I can't use my divine power."

"It's okay, I'll go explore the way first."

Jiang Liu asked the giant dragon under his feet: "Aisi, where are we now?"

"Already directly above the Dragon's Nest."

Ai Si was a little hesitant: "That place is enchanted by magic. If we force our way in, we will definitely disturb them. We need to slowly descend to the cliff on the west and climb in from there-"

"No need, just go straight down like this."

"What?"

"You take Alia and land slowly. I'll go ahead."

Jiang Liu carried the silver-haired goddess girl to the edge of the dragon's back, looked down through the clouds, and saw the towering pure white mountain peaks and the cave entrance hidden by the wind and snow.

Heber sensed something and nervously reached out and hugged his neck.

"Ha, don't be afraid—"

next moment--

Jiang Liu jumped down calmly.

Chapter 378: The Enslaved and Trained Queen

The so-called "Dragon's Nest" is called a cave, but in fact its scale cannot be summarized by these two words.

The nest of old dragons, the queen's bedroom, the breeding room for young dragons, the magical fountain for healing injuries...

This is a "building complex" composed of caves of various sizes. The main part, the "Dragon Hall", is a huge space that can accommodate gatherings of all the ice dragons.

It can be said that the upper part of the mountain was almost hollowed out. If magic had not been used to reinforce the structure, the mountain would have collapsed in the middle long ago.

The "Dragon Hall" is where the queen summons the entire clan to perform sacrifices or discuss matters on special days. Although it is located in the belly of the mountain, it does not have the roughness of rock walls. Instead, it is covered with crystal-like ice. While lowering the temperature to the lowest, it also presents a majestic and cold beauty.

In the middle of the hall is a towering iceberg, which was originally for the queen to sit on and overlook her subjects. Now the upper part has been carved into a rough throne, with an ice-blue insect man covered in a hard shell as if wearing armor sitting on it.

Apart from the lower limbs, it has three pairs of upper limbs that can move freely. Each pair has the flexibility comparable to that of human hands. Now one of the limbs is holding a chain with its sharp claws. The other end of the chain is connected to a pitch-black collar, which is tightly strangling the woman's slender neck.

She was a woman with waist-length sky-blue hair and eyes of the same color. Her mature and plump body was covered by a rag that was as revealing as a swimsuit. Her dignified and beautiful face now showed only indifference, and her eyes, which should have been extremely majestic, were now empty.

She knelt respectfully beside the throne, or more precisely at the insect man's feet, quiet and empty, like a statue.

The insect man's eyes were not on her, but on the giant dragon lying under the iceberg. Just now, they brought the insect man an unexpected news.

No, it can be said that it was expected.

"Did you lose a combat force?"

"Yes, our compatriots who were sent out to patrol the Storm Domain did not send the magic code for communication on time. We tried to contact it, but there was no response from the other party."

The leading ice dragon buried his head deep in his chest: "Maybe... he was killed."

"Did the human race finally notice the situation here and send a high-level combat force capable of killing the dragon? Or did the man who defeated Lord Hilde before show up? Humph! Not surprising."

Two streams of white mist came out from the insect's mouthparts.

"It's just what I want."

It is an extremely special monster. It has no interest in killing humans, and does not feed on humans. It has no ambition to rule the world and no hatred towards other races. It is simply conquered by the Demon King's strength, so it allows him to drive it around.

This time, the Demon King gave it a cursed item and asked it to conquer the ice dragon clan and find the legendary treasure.

However, although it defeated and successfully enslaved the Ice Dragon Queen, the Queen took the initiative to enter a deep level of mental suggestion after realizing her situation, turning herself into a walking corpse, so the insect man could not torture anything out of her.

Unable to find the treasure for the time being, the insect man had no choice but to carry out the second task assigned by the Demon King.

——【Make Humans Feel Fear】

The insect people, who had very straightforward thinking, could not quite understand such ambiguous instructions, but in short, they wanted the ice dragons to use forbidden magic to cover several nearby cities.

The insect man had his own purpose for making such a big fuss. He wanted to make the matter as big as possible, and it would be best if he could attract the high-end combat power of the coalition forces, or even the legendary heroes.

The reason is simple, I just want to test my own ability!

If it is killed by a brave man, it will have no complaints, but if it defeats a brave man, it will become even more powerful!

As long as it keeps fighting, one day it will become extremely powerful and challenge the Demon King again!

"I have a feeling... the other party must be a human hero."

The insect man said in a muffled voice: "He is coming. I believe he will be here soon."

This is a warrior's intuition, without any basis, but it often comes true.

"Here? Human?"

The ice dragons that had bowed their heads raised their heads with an indifferent look.

"If that's true, then the hero is really stupid."

"This is the Dragon's Lair, and there is a King here. Whoever comes here will die!"

"Instead of worrying about the hero, let's see if he can break through the adult dragon below and make it to this hall without getting killed by our compatriots on the way."

"What kind of hero is this? He is just a human being after all."

The huge compound eyes observed the ice dragons below. Although they were of different races, the insect people could still see contempt in their tone and eyes.

The insect man said nothing. Although he did not think the hero was as incompetent as the ice dragons said, he did not interrupt or scold the ice dragon.

There's no point in doing that.

No matter how powerful this race is, they are just a group of ridiculous cowards in the eyes of the insect people.

Although the curse of the item was in effect, there was not even one person who tried to challenge it, liberate their compatriots and save the queen - which made the insect people deeply disappointed.

There is no point in saying anything to such creatures; they can neither understand nor change reality.

Boring, boring... Ah, brave man, when will you come?

——At this moment, the insect man suddenly raised his head as if he had realized something, and looked up at the ice crystal ceiling with his compound eyes.

Bang! !

Like fragile glass, the ice crystals on the dome shattered along with the rock wall above. Thousands of fragments of all sizes exploded in all directions under the enormous impact force. The old ice dragons lying on the ground were instantly knocked unconscious and scattered in panic.

An invisible fist wind of Qi created visible twisted ripples in the atmosphere and created a deep crater on the ground. The violent aftermath shattered all the ice along the ground, leaving only the iceberg throne where the insect man was located safe and sound in the entire cave.

When everything was about to be settled, a strange figure slowly fell down like a feather.

“Ohhh! Is it coming!!”

The insect man stood up excitedly and pulled the chain with his claws. The woman with long ice-blue hair let out a moan and was forcibly pulled to her feet.

Then the insect man pulled the chain again, and the woman lost her balance and fell to the ground in a mess, without any decency or dignity.

"My name is Bagset, and I am one of the four kings under the Demon King! Hero, do you want to free the ice dragons? Do you want to save their queen? Do you want to stop this storm? Then come and kill me! Use everything you have to kill me!"

Chapter 379: Want to Become the Four Heavenly Kings of Weapon Warfare

After putting Hebe down, Jiang Liu first took a look at the woman bound by a collar, who was suspected to be the Ice Dragon Queen, especially the plumpness that could not be covered by the rags... No, he looked at the chain in particular.

"What a bad taste." Jiang Liu curled his lips and said with disdain.

"Roar!"

"hold head high--"

The scattered ice dragons came to their senses, and without hesitation, the leading old dragon launched an attack.

There was no conventional plot like "the general came to give his name". For these dragons, they had no choice but to tear apart the strangers who broke into their hometown in such a ostentatious manner.

"call!"

The first attack was the signature dragon's breath. The coldness was purer than any snowstorm and froze the moisture floating in the air. The fierce wind pressure was mixed with materialized weapons, which engulfed Jiang Liu and Heber.

A moment later, two ice sculptures appeared in the same spot - the scene the dragon expected did not appear.

Jiang Liu didn't even need to take action. Hebe picked up the staff and released golden magic light, which condensed into a rose-like translucent shield in the air, easily blocking and separating the ice dragon's breath.

"Well, I promised Ais beforehand..."

Jiang Liu glanced at the giant dragons around him that were eager to try, took a deep breath, released the pressure of the "Dragon Slayer", and spoke in a low voice.

"Just stay where you are and I'll spare your lives."

There has to be a limit to arrogance. How dare a mere human be so arrogant? The dragons should have mocked him like this.

But when Jiang Liu's gaze swept over them, they all felt a pressure as if acting on their souls. They wanted to move their bodies but froze, and wanted to say something sarcastic but instinctively kept their mouths tightly closed.

--will die!

If you disobey his orders at this moment, you will definitely die. There will be no chance of luck!

Even though there was no basis for this, it was like a rabbit being targeted by a tiger: the fear of encountering a natural enemy rose from deep within the heart.
