Section 0004: Annoying Mouse Droppings
Born into nobility, Gelang often took pleasure in flaunting his noble lineage in front of the common-born Dragon Knight, arrogantly gesturing and acting with impunity, even extorting military achievements and seizing spoils of war
There is no way around it; after all, his father is one of the four great ministers of the empire: the Minister of Civil Affairs, who is also the supervisor of the Dragon Cavalry Corps, Count Mukolib. This snobbish individual is keen on currying favor with the wealthy and powerful Minister of Civil Affairs, Harrison. Although the commander, Ruger, is of an upright character, he too must bow to power. He privately instructs every dragon knight to pay special attention to this arrogant second-generation heir, even allowing him to take some credit, in hopes that he will leave sooner.
Goodness, they have stirred up a hornet's nest. Both sides are gasping in shock, as this is the largest mobilization since the two countries began their conflict. It is as if a massive powder keg has been overturned; even the smallest spark could ignite an unimaginable situation
"What do you want? Gold, don't think that just because you are strong I will be afraid of you, I am not someone to be trifled with!" The fire dragon Misael roared loudly, furious at the gold dragon for its long-standing disdain. Damn it, this capricious gold dragon almost killed my companion right in front of me. The Dragon God should never have included the gold dragon in the list of contractable dragon species.
"Morin, don't get angry with someone like that, it's not worth it!" Akka glared at the bastard riding away on his wyvern, clenching his fists tightly, planning to teach this ungrateful guy a lesson the next time they met. If this guy is allowed to continue, it is likely that the reputation of the Dragon Knights will be tarnished. He then expressed his indignation, saying: "I never expected to encounter this guy in this battle, like a disgusting fly, what bad luck, Morin! You must be careful not to let this hindrance cause you trouble. This guy's combat skills are mediocre, but his ability to stir up trouble is top-notch." He then expressed his indignation again, saying: "I never expected to encounter this guy in this battle, like a disgusting fly, what bad luck, Morin! You must be careful not to let this hindrance cause you trouble. This guy's combat skills are mediocre, but his ability to stir up trouble is top-notch."
Misael unleashed a blazing wall of fire, firmly protecting his knight. The intense heat of the fire wall turned the sharp blades extending from the tips of the golden dragon's wings a bright red, even causing them to emit light. The high temperature of the flames made the golden dragon feel a tingling sensation in the blades, as reaching a certain level of heat significantly weakened the dragon's control and responsiveness over its metallic body parts.
"Let me see, let me see, haha, the dragon knight Morin, who could be taken down by his own dragon at any moment, and the dragon knight Aka, who is practicing stealth techniques, you two were hiding here all along. Are the two disobedient dragons fighting among themselves? This is simply a disgrace to the Dragon Knight Legion!" A bothersome voice echoed from above the snowy peak, interrupting the conversation between Morin and Aka, as the earlier scene had been witnessed.
Enough nonsense! I want that mutt of Tessi to feel my power! The gold dragon of the gold system could no longer endure the heavy loss from a level 9 magic attack. How could it withstand such provocation from Morin? As soon as it recalled the significant loss it had just suffered, it disregarded everything and immediately roared and jumped up in fury
Warm and humid air currents from distant oceans gather beneath the snow line of the Helar Mountains, accumulating into thick, dark clouds, further intensifying the heavy atmosphere between heaven and earth
Morin and Aka's expressions changed, a look of disgust flashing in their eyes as they looked up to see a bipedal dragon carrying a young man clad in extremely ornate and eye-catching armor flying above the snow peak
Graham threatened Morin in a grumbling manner, and this was not the first time such behavior had occurred. The old man's favoritism and the deliberate flattery from those sycophantic officials have now escalated to an uncontrollable extent
Morin raised the corners of his mouth slightly in a faint smile, quickly donned his helmet, and leaped into the air from the giant rock. The golden dragon, flapping its wings, produced a thunderous sonic boom, soaring upward to catch Morin. With a powerful flap of its wings, it created a series of explosive sounds, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up with Misel and Aka, who were already over 100 meters away.
Forget it, a dog bites, can a person bite back! I will be careful! From a young age, Morin, who was born a street child, has long been accustomed to the vicissitudes of human relationships. He has also experienced oppression from the nobility. As long as it does not threaten his survival, he does not take the other party to heart. Among commoners, there are both good and bad people, and the same goes for the nobility. Aka is one of the few nobles who can get relatively close to him.
Upon seeing Ge Lang suddenly appear, Morin and Aka exchanged glances, both feeling as if a single mouse droppings had spoiled an entire pot of porridge
The two colossal dragons moved with incredible speed, reaching the area above the signal within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. From a height of one thousand meters, the ground appeared as a vast, dark mass resembling an ant colony, with only occasional patches of brown earth visible. More black dots, like flowing water, continuously surged forth from the camps of both sides, converging together, leaving only a narrow strip of confrontation space between them. In the dense array, the glint of sharp blades reflected sporadically, reminiscent of stardust shimmering in the light.
This individual is Glenn, the only son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, Harrison. Leveraging his father's immense power, connections, and wealth, he managed to acquire a bipedal dragon from the Aolong lineage as his mount, along with a set of masterfully crafted mithril armor and an extraordinarily splendid cloak. He has also been forcefully inserted into the Dragon Knight Corps to obtain the so-called title of a vacant knight, often using this identity to engage in flirtations and affairs.
Hearing this from Morin, Aka felt somewhat reassured. However, Morin has always been the most cautious knight in the Dragon Rider Legion; otherwise, how could he have managed to control the golden dragon until now
Suddenly, the two giant dragons, Gold Coin and Misel, abruptly raised their heads and turned to look towards the southeast. A dazzling red light point rose in the sky within their line of sight, ascending higher and higher, piercing through the clouds to reach an extremely high altitude, and then exploded into a mass of fiery clouds
Hiss!
The fire dragon Misael, swiftly twisting its body and wielding its enormous dragon wings, stirred up a tremendous heat wave. Flames surged violently from its dragon body as it kicked off the ground with its four claws, soaring into the sky towards Morin: "Morin, hurry up! If you are late, Commander Dorse will be furious again!"
Here he is, sent to the battlefield to earn military merit. With his extravagant and ostentatious mithril armor and mediocre combat spirit, he would stand out like a conspicuous target in the sky. To put it bluntly, while the knights are engaged in fierce combat in the front lines, he is merely picking up the scraps from behind, conveniently claiming military achievements.
The golden dragon, however, coldly retracted its sharp blade and disdainfully lay back down
Compared to the bipedal dragon, the giant dragon is truly incomparable, leaving Master Galang with feelings of envy and resentment that he cannot help but harbor
"Aka, you are a noble; do not associate too closely with the commoners! Be careful not to lose your status." Perhaps due to Aka's noble identity and background, Gelang maneuvered the dragon, swaying as it hovered in the air, directing his ire at Morin. "Morin! Remember this: today you must eliminate ten enemies for me, and make sure to count it as my military achievement. If you dare to disobey, be wary of the consequences. You, as a commoner, should be grateful to me, a noble. Do not think that just because you have become a dragon knight, you are beyond my control. Bah! A commoner is still a commoner!" Remember this: today you must eliminate ten enemies for me, and make sure to count it as my military achievement. If you dare to disobey, be wary of the consequences. You, as a commoner, should be grateful to me, a noble. Do not think that just because you have become a dragon knight, you are beyond my control. Bah! A commoner is still a commoner!
Upon seeing Akka, he was immediately filled with rage. The second-generation heir of the Minister of Civil Affairs, a brave man who does not suffer losses in front of him, quickly pulled the double-footed flying dragon back a distance, not forgetting to retaliate: "Akka, just because you have become a dragon knight does not mean you can do as you please. I am not afraid of you, so mind your own business! We shall see!" After saying this, he hurriedly made his escape, fearing that if he delayed, Akka's fist would land on him.
It is uncertain whether it is the control of divine beings in the unseen realm, but those dragon knights who are able to sign the Dragon God Pact often come from commoner backgrounds, slightly more so. Take for instance the young master Geraint before us, who has never been able to resonate even a little with the soul of a giant dragon. He can only ride a pitiful sub-dragon that has been forced into a slave contract, masquerading as a dragon knight in the dragon knight legion. Even the few other knights in the legion who ride non-giant mounts are unwilling to associate with him, keeping their distance out of respect.
The playful expression on Aka's face quickly faded, leaving her expressionless as she murmured, "A major event! The Texi Empire is going all out." This signal indicated that the situation of the war had reached a critical urgency, representing an emergency military situation
"Gold coins! Are you going, or will you continue to recuperate here?" Morin turned his head with a half-smile, looking at the gold dragon, uncertain whether this capricious creature would resort to underhanded tactics and leave him behind here
"Let’s go! Misail, let’s make a big score!" Akka, like a bandit spotting a plump merchant caravan, eagerly shouted as he jumped onto the back of the fire-type giant dragon Misail, trying to distance himself as much as possible from the perilous gold-type dragon. Only someone with a calm disposition like Morin could endure having such a gold-type dragon as a mount and still survive to this day without being killed—either by death or sheer fright—setting an unprecedented record. Both for himself and for his enemies, being a dragon rider carries an extremely high risk factor, truly challenging one’s survival capabilities.

Aka looked at the suddenly rising golden dragon and the long, sword-like blade less than a foot away from his face, his expression turning pale with fear. He had long heard of the golden dragon's reputation as the "Dragon of Slaughter" and its murderous nature, but he never expected that at such a close distance, it would contemplate killing him right in front of his mount and companion, the fire dragon Misail.
This guy is just a jerk
"Gelang, I am not afraid of you. If you dare to threaten my friends again, be careful that I will beat you up!" Before Morin could get angry, Aka jumped up, his body enveloped in a fiery aura. Resonating with the battle spirit of the fire dragon nearby, the temperature around them suddenly rose, and the ground beneath his feet emitted a sizzling sound as it was scorched.
