Chapter 269: The Way to the Top
The rebels failed to capture the city and were on their way back to their base.
Reid said nothing, and the dragon generals all looked worried.
Hattie's return was such a big deal that they had to consider the future.
Now thinking back to how determined Sylph was when she came alone to rescue Miss, they couldn't help but think too much.
Sylph is not a brainless woman, and it is impossible for her to do such a crazy thing.
But if Hatti's return and the birth of the new Dragon King are true, everything makes sense.
Sylph must have known that he had no worries, so she risked her life to save Miss.
She has no worries, so naturally the rebels will be worried.
Especially the nine dragon generals under Reid.
Half of these dragon generals betrayed Sylph because they were attracted by the two pure-blood dragon armors on Reed's forehead.
Now that the real pure-blooded Dragon King Hatti is about to return, they naturally don't want to work for Red anymore.
The other dragon generals are not fools either, and they will not continue to follow Reid wholeheartedly at this moment.
They also cherish their lives.
After this trip to Dragon City.
Except for the two guard dragon generals who followed Reid into the extreme ice land thousands of years ago, the other seven dragon generals all had some rebellious nature.
They knew that there was no future if they continued to stay with Red.
After returning to their base, the rebels were stunned.
The house was robbed again.
It seemed that all the soldiers left behind were gone, and there was no need to think about the new food supplies in the warehouse, as they must have been moved away.
Red was so angry that his teeth were itching. It was obvious that the same person had committed the two burglaries.
"Shuriel was clearly blocked in the city by us, who did it?"
"Master Red, could it be that Sylph is still alive?"
"Impossible. Is the Land of Extreme Ice a place where she can come in and out as she pleases?"
Red didn't think that it was Sylph who stole the house.
"Who did it?"
Red, who was already depressed, became more and more emotionally unstable, and his old injuries began to ache.
Just then, a guard ran over.
"Lord Red Dragon King, we caught a sneaky guy!"
Red immediately became interested. "He's looking for death by not running away after causing so much damage."
Just as he was about to go and judge the case in person, a dragon general stepped forward.
"Master Red, your old injuries have not healed yet, you should rest more. You should leave this scum who likes to play tricks to me."
Red looked at this subordinate who felt sorry for him, and after changing his mind, he felt that this was true.
After all, he is the Dragon King, and it would be too cheap for him to take action personally.
"Bellari, I'll leave this matter to you. You must find out who is behind this."
The four-armored dragon general named Bellari bowed and said, "It will be as you wish."
After entering the cell, Bellary did not interrogate the weak prisoner on the spot.
On his orders the prisoner was taken to his room.
As the soldier who brought the prisoner closed the door and left, he shook his head and felt sorry for the prisoner.
"Poor fellow, he will be severely tortured by Lord Bellary."
The room was dim and the prisoner swallowed, regretting his reckless behavior.
The main force had retreated, but he had to turn back to see the rebels' reaction.
Now, he was caught, and he was taken to Bellary’s room.
The prisoner was a little flustered. He didn't expect that a fourth-class dragon general would personally interrogate him, a second-class soldier.
The magic crystal lit up slightly, and he could see clearly that there was an extra person sitting on the seat in front of him.
"Bella...Bellarie?"
Bellary narrowed his eyes, "You know me? It seems like you're one of us."
The prisoner's heartbeat quickened and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
But he did not beg for mercy. Instead, he pretended to be calm and said confidently, "I'm not afraid of you."
Bellary raised the corner of his mouth, "Very good, then what if I take off some of your limbs, are you afraid?"
The prisoner swallowed, his eyes a little flustered.
"It doesn't matter. If you have the guts, just kill me."
Bellary found it strange that a small second-class minion could be so ready to die. It was really bizarre.
He stood up decisively and raised his arms as if he was about to take action.
The prisoner shuddered and squeezed his eyes shut.
"I still advise you to let me go. If you kill me, Lord Sakura Dragon King will definitely avenge me!"
Trembling all over and sweating profusely, the prisoner felt like he was about to wet his pants.
However, the pain did not come.
He slowly opened his eyes and found that Bellary had sat back down again.
"So the two pranks in the base were done by this so-called Sakura Dragon King?"
The prisoner was breathing heavily, his heart almost beating in his throat.
"Lord Sakura Dragon King is here to kill the Red Dragon King, not to play a prank."
After hearing this, Bellary's eyes became serious and no longer as casual as before.
"What did you say?"
The prisoner held his head high and said proudly, "If Red hadn't been so lucky and not at home every time, he would have been killed by our Lord Sakura Dragon King."
Bellary was full of disdain, "Where did another Sakura Dragon King appear? I've never heard of him, and he wants to kill Lord Reid. It's really ridiculous."
The prisoner was unhappy when he heard this.
"Our Lord Sakura Dragon King can kill the top three Bitlei in one glance. He doesn't even take the Ancient Dragon God seriously. What's so funny?"
"Did she kill Beatrice?"
"Hmph, that's right."
"Instant kill?"
"With just one look, Beatrice turned into dust."
"Did you see it with your own eyes?"
"That's not the case, but the other brothers saw it."
Bellary was skeptical and looked at the expressions of the prisoners below.
That confidence didn't seem to be fake.
He was a little uneasy.
Shuriel had just said that a new Dragon King was about to be born, and right after that, a Sakura Dragon King who disrespected the Dragon God appeared.
"Coincidence?"
Just as Bellary was lost in thought, the prisoner, for some reason, started yelling.
"Kill me, I will die for Lord Sakura Dragon King without any regrets!"
Bellary frowned, worried that the noise in the room would be overheard by people outside, so he scolded.
"Shut up!"
The prisoner was in tears and had already prepared himself for death. He was not afraid of Bellary's threats at all.
"Just shut up and kill me!"
Bellary couldn't stand it anymore and whispered, "I can not kill you."
Prisoner: "Come on, move... huh?"
Bellary leaned down and whispered in his ear.
"I can still let you go safely, but there is one condition."
The prisoner looked puzzled.
Bellary continued, "You have to help me pass a message to the Lord Sakura Dragon King. Just tell him that I, Bellary, am willing to be her spy and keep an eye on Red at all times."
Prisoner: ??? Is this the oppressive power of Lord Sakura Dragon King? Love it!
Bellary no longer cared whether this so-called Sakura Dragon King was the Five-Armored Dragon King or not.
He has already determined that this mysterious man must be related to the new Dragon King mentioned by Shuriel.
Even if he is not the Dragon King now, he will become the Dragon King sooner or later.
With Hattie's impending return, Bellary was ready to betray Red.
Going directly back to Dragon City would definitely not work, Shurel wouldn't believe herself.
The appearance of the Sakura Dragon King gave him a good opportunity.
If he joins the Sakura Dragon King now and waits until Red is killed by Hatti or the Sakura Dragon King, he, Bellary, will be an absolute hero.
Who said there is no way out? Isn’t there one now?
The road is open and leads directly to the top.
