The one responsible for negotiating with the Dragon Clan was not an ordinary God, but the previous Master God of the Orc God System, "Iron Mask Ferocious Spirit," Snakenell.
This previous Master God was born in the Naga race, or rather, he was the creator of the Naga race. In the battle with the God of Knights, he was kicked in the head, and his neck became crooked. So he had to tilt his head all day, unable to straighten it.
After that battle, his strength dropped so much that he lost to Lefon, who challenged him.
However, Lefon did not follow the tradition of the Orcs to kill and devour Him. Instead, he helped Him heal his injuries. Other than the habitual tilt of his head, Lefon was now in perfect condition. He could fight with any great Divine Power at any time.
Letting him be the messenger to negotiate with the Dragon Clan showed how much importance the Orc Clan attached to this negotiation.
He also successfully met the leader of the Dragon Clan, the current Dragon Emperor.
"Dragon Emperor" was both a title and a name. No matter what the Giant Dragon was called before, once he became the leader of the Giant Dragon Clan, he could only be called Dragon Emperor.
In the past, there were Dragon Emperors of the Golden Dragon Clan, Dragon Emperors of the Sea Dragons, Dragon Emperors of the Land Dragons … and even Dragon Emperors of the Phantom Dragons.
These Dragon Sovereigns would usually become Dragon Gods after several tens of thousands of years. However, the Dragon Gods were quite unreliable, whether it was their priesthood or their style of doing things — different from ordinary Gods, the Dragon Gods were keen on becoming some very, very small Gods, such as "God of Marriage for Silver Dragons," "God of Lunch for Sea Dragons," and so on. These priesthoods were undoubtedly weak Divine Powers, and most of them barely touched the edge of weak Divine Power. They were not much higher than Quasi Gods without priesthood.
The reason why they did this was because the Dragon Clan's culture advocated freedom and rejected responsibility. Even if they were to be apotheosized, they wouldn't bind themselves to their priesthood. Therefore, except for a few weird ideas (? Therefore, except for a few weird (?) dragons, almost no Giant Dragon would choose the more popular and influential priesthood to become Gods.
Some researchers believed that perhaps the group of "Evil Gods" originally came from the Dragon Clan.
Of course, there was evidence for this, because the earliest and most powerful Evil God was a Dragon God.
Dragon of Chaos.
The Dragon Gods weren't just unreliable here. They often didn't build their own Divine Kingdoms, but lived in the half-plane near the "Dragon Cliff." More than once, the Dragon Gods would accept the command of the current Dragon Emperor and serve him.
Using humans to unite the gods was a unique practice of the Dragon Race.
… Assuming that they could be called 'people'.
The negotiations between the Ancestral God of the Serpentmen, Snakenell, and the current Dragon Emperor did not go smoothly.
The current Dragon Emperor was not arrogant. Although the Dragon Emperor who was born as a Black Dragon was somewhat arrogant, he was still rather respectful when facing powerhouses. He and Snakenell talked for a long time and exchanged opinions on many issues.
However, the two sides were unable to reach any consensus.
The Dragon Clan did not care about the hegemony of the human world. They did not even care if they could live in the human world. To the current Dragon Emperor, if the overlord of the human world wanted to banish the Dragon Race, he did not intend to fight with the other party. Instead, he would bring the Dragon Race away from the Main Plane and develop in another world.
Just like the gnome gods of the past.
"We Dragons are different from you Orcs." The Dragon Emperor said, "Our population is sparse and cannot withstand the consumption of war. Although every adult wyrm was a legendary creature, so what? In the current world, there are only about two hundred Dragons in total. Such a number is not even worth mentioning in a large-scale war. "
Of course, this was an excuse and an excuse. Two hundred people was indeed not worth mentioning in a war, but two hundred Legendary Masters was a completely different story.
How many Legendary Masters were there in the Main Plane? If one only counted the main races such as humans, Orcs, elves, dwarves, gnomes, and lizardmen, it was estimated that there were only about a hundred, at most about a hundred and ten. The Dragon Race could mobilize two hundred Legendary Masters at once, which was almost equivalent to double the number of the other races combined!
If they were willing to fight with all their might, perhaps the human allied forces would not be able to win this war.
However, the Dragon Race's concerns were also very reasonable. Compared to the races that had a fast reproduction rate, the Dragon Race's reproduction rate was really too slow, and their population base was really too small. Two hundred people sounded like a lot, but in fact, it could be described as "endangered."
Such an endangered species, instead of hiding at home and expanding their population, why would they run out to stir up trouble and participate in a war?
Wasn't that like hanging themselves — they were courting death!
Moreover, was having more than two hundred Legendary Masters that great?
For such a war that involved the entire race, it was inevitable that demigod masters would participate. In the face of a demigod master, so what if they were Legendary Dragons?
Of course, there were demigod masters among the Dragons, but even if there were demigod masters, could they prevent the deaths of their descendants?
Therefore, the Dragon Emperor expressed, "I can understand your difficulties, and I also sympathize with your situation, but please forgive me for really being unable to help!
The Dragon Race really does not have the ability to participate in such a war, we can't afford to fight such a war! "
After listening to the introduction of the former Orc Master God, Lefon frowned and was silent for a long time. He asked, "Look, is he trying to evade? Or does he really not want to participate in the war? "
"The Dragons are a proud race. They may lose interest in a certain place and leave, but it's not easy to drive them away," Snakenell replied with a hissing voice. Snakenell flicked his forked tongue and replied in a hissing voice, "I'm not good at reading people's minds, but I feel that even the Dragon Emperor is first and foremost a giant dragon, isn't he?"
Lefon laughed. "You're right! Even the Dragon Emperor is first and foremost a Dragon! "
"Alright, I understand what he means. In a few days, I'll personally go to the Dragon Cliff and have a good talk with him about the price. "
After saying this, the temple quieted down.
The gods looked at each other. Many of them looked as if they wanted to say something, but no one was willing to open their mouths.
Therefore, the atmosphere became a little awkward.
In the midst of this awkwardness, a god with a pig's head and big ears finally spoke.
"Your Majesty, should we talk to His Majesty the Void Mask?" He seemed a little nervous, but since he had spoken, he did not stop. Instead, he simply finished his words in one breath. "Although … but I feel that we may be able to get some help from him."
