"It must have been Reginald who sold the information to the other clan of the spiritual race, so now
they are well-prepared to fight against us. Damn it! I thought that as long as I killed Rex, I could regain
control of the Dragon Master Clan. I didn't expect that Reginald would betray me. He gave another clan
a chance to launch an attack when we were on our knees from our last battle," Moira ranted angrily, as
her clenched fists struck at the air.
"Obviously, they planned to arrive right when we are exhausted. They aim to give the Dragon Master
Clan a fatal blow when we can't guard against them. Undoubtedly, they want to exterminate the Dragon
Master Clan, but we won't let them succeed," said Marcia. She looked incensed, but there were also
hesitation and fear in her eyes. "But with our current strength, we can barely fight. I'm afraid that..."
"Humph, just let them come. Let them see the perception and strength of our Dragon Master Clan!"
Moira declared indignantly.
"No, we can't do that. The members of the Dragon Master Clan have to preserve their strength. Those
spiritual race forces that conspire with Reginald should not be trifled with or underestimated, for they
are surely well-prepared to fight against us. If we continue to fight like this, the Dragon Master Clan will
inevitably suffer losses. The internal strife with Rex has considerably reduced the power of the Dragon
Master Clan. If we continue to fight, the force of the Dragon Master Clan will decline, and the clan will
even face the threat of extermination. This is certainly not what your father wants to see," Rocky said
seriously.
Moira fell silent after hearing his words.
"Moira, Basil is right. The most important thing right now is to protect the fate and safety of the entire
Dragon Master Clan," Marcia affirmed for she agreed with Rocky wholeheartedly.
Even though Moira didn't want to give up, she knew that it was not the right time to act impulsively. So
instead of following her desire, she discussed with the elders and the spiritual masters of the Dragon
Master Clan what they should do. After that, she immediately gave an order to retreat. She planned to
withdraw to the Dragon-hiding Valley first and then give it further thought.
However, just as they were about to retreat, more news came from the Dragon-hiding Valley, the
headquarters of the Mu Clan. It had been attacked by other spiritual race forces not long ago, and
those forces occupied it for now.
This development put the Mu Clan led by Moira and the other Dragon Master Clan forces in a dilemma.
They had to retreat to a safe area not far from the Dragon Master Clan.
"Let's fight them to the death," shouted Moira impatiently. She was a bit quick-tempered, and her mood
flared harder because the Dragon Master Clan was suddenly in deep trouble.
"Moira, don't worry!" Marcia immediately comforted her.
"How can I not worry? Even the Dragon-hiding Valley has been occupied, and we are homeless!
Besides, there are many women, children, the weak and the elderly in the valley. They must be in the
enemies' hands by now," she lamented sorrowfully.
At that moment, there was another information that the troop of the spiritual race seemed to be still
chasing and approaching.
The news dumped even more pressure on Moira, and she couldn't stand it anymore. Finally, she
erupted in a fit of despair. "Gather all the members of our clan and prepare for battle!"
"Wait!" Rocky, who had been silent all the time, immediately stopped her.
"We haven't figured out which clan sent those soldiers. If we fight like this, we will only fall into a more
disadvantageous situation," he warned seriously.
"Then what should we do? Should we wait for death?" Moira cried out helplessly. It was obvious that
she was losing hope.
"Perhaps, it's not a bad thing for the Dragon Master Clan to tolerate that for a while," Rocky continued.
"But the most troublesome thing is that they obviously want to kill us all. No matter where we go, they
will definitely chase after us," Marcia chimed in, shaking her head. She knew that the coming troop
probably wanted to take advantage of the victory to chase after them. They wouldn't give up easily until
they achieved their goal.
"There is one place that they will surely not go," Rocky responded, as his eyes gleamed with absolute
certainty.
"Where?" Moira and Marcia asked in unison.
"The Holy Dragon Empire." Rocky smiled.
Moira and Marcia were stunned at the same time. So were the elders and the spiritual masters of the
Dragon Master Clan. They didn't understand what Rocky meant.
"Basil, do you mean that you intend to put the Dragon Master Clan under the protection of the Holy
Dragon Empire?" Marcia, who knew Rocky very well, immediately guessed what he was thinking.
"Exactly." Rocky nodded.
"I've never heard that human beings protect the spiritual race. This is too ridiculous!" Of course, Moira
didn't agree. Her pride would never let her put the Dragon Master Clan under the protection of human
beings. In her eyes, they were inferior to the spiritual race, so they could never protect them.
The elders and the spiritual masters also nodded in agreement. The spiritual race had extremely high
self-esteem, and they were also very powerful existences in the eyes of human beings. That was why
no matter what, they could not place their hopes on human beings and seek refuge with the human
race.
"This is the best course of action for the Dragon Master Clan right now. Who would think that the
dignified Dragon Master Clan would stoop so low as to be protected by human beings? Most
importantly, the enemies would never dare to go to the Holy Dragon Empire, because that would
expose their purpose, and that was not good for them. If they insist on entering the Holy Dragon
Empire, the Dragon Master Clan's force and the army of our Holy Dragon Empire will have a better
chance of winning. Don't you agree that it will be better for the Dragon Master Clan to do that than to
fight alone here?" Rocky persuaded them patiently.
"Moira, I think Prince Crimson's idea is reasonable. Although it will damage the dignity and reputation
of our Dragon Master Clan, at present, what we need most is to recuperate. Once we regain our
strength, then we can think about how to fight back," an elder of the clan said sensibly.
The other elders and the spiritual masters also turned to each other, discussing their opinions and
sharing their insights. However, in the end, they all looked at Moira because she was their leader. As
long as she made the decision, they would never have any objection.
At that moment, Moira looked a bit hesitant. After all, her decision would affect the future of the Dragon
Master Clan.
"Marcia, do you really think he is right?" Moira asked reluctantly, turning to look at her sister, who didn't
hesitate to nod approvingly.
"Yes. I believe Basil's plan is ingenious and well-thought-out. This battle has gravely injured the
warriors of our clan, and it will take them some time to recover. If the members of our clan move to the
Holy Dragon Empire, according to the agreement among clans of the spiritual race, that spiritual race
won't attack human beings. Therefore, the spiritual race troop that is attacking us right now won't dare
to enter the Holy Dragon Empire. Otherwise, the other clan of the spiritual race won't stand idly by. For
our Dragon Master Clan, it is the best way to solve the current predicament," Marcia rationalized
thoughtfully.
"Well then, let's go to the Holy Dragon Empire." Moira sighed as she made the most difficult decision of
her life.
Her decision at that moment gave human beings and the spiritual race the first chance to work hand in
hand, which created an unprecedented event. It would also have a significant impact on the new
structure of the entire Wild Spirit Land in the future.
