"Elizabeth, are you sure you want to challenge Fox to be the new chief of the Frost Dragon tribe?"
Douglas asked in a low voice as he looked down at Elizabeth, who was standing in the middle of the majestic hall made of ice and snow.
Fox stood not far away from Elizabeth with excitement in his eyes.
The ten elders of the Frost Dragon tribe were all present, and the majestic hall was silent.
The gazes of all the dragons landed on Y'lisabet. Their expressions varied, but most of them were astonished.
Elizabeth was the most powerful among the younger generation of the Frost Dragon tribe. She had just reached adulthood, and was already a 7th-tier giant dragon. She was not inferior to Rankster in the past. Many people thought that she was the best choice to be the next chief of the Frost Dragon tribe.
However, Fox was an elder, after all. He was only 500 years old, and was in the prime of his life. He was also at the peak of the 9th-tier, and was only a step away from the 10th-tier. He had fought with Rankster for the position of chief in the past.
Rankster had been missing for many years, and no one knew if he was dead or alive. As a member of the royal family, he was a strong candidate to be the chief's successor.
Elizabeth had returned to Dragon Island this time, and directly challenged the great elder to decide between the two of them to be the chief of the Frost Dragon tribe. This decision was beyond everyone's expectations.
"Yes, I want to challenge him fair and square. Even if I die, I want to die fair and square. I don't want to die from dirty schemes and sneak attacks," Elizabeth said calmly as she looked up at Douglas.
A dark look flashed across Fox's eyes, but his expression did not change at all. He had already received the news of those fellows' failure two days ago. He thought that his plan was foolproof, but he did not expect that he still could not get rid of Elizabeth.
However, it did not matter. Since she wanted to challenge him, he did not mind fulfilling her wish and becoming the chief of the Frost Dragon tribe openly.
Disdainful laughter rang out from the crowd, as if what Elizabeth said was a funny joke.
Douglas looked at Elizabeth. Her deep blue eyes reminded him of Rankster in the past. That fellow became braver with every setback. He was defeated repeatedly, but could get up again every time.
Now, his daughter was standing here again, challenging Fox, who was two ranks higher than her. She was just as laughable as Rankster, who had challenged him back then.
After that, Rankster became the chief of the Frost Dragon tribe, and he stepped down to become the great elder of the Frost Dragon tribe.
Was it laughable?
Douglas did not think it was funny.
It was just like how most of the people who were sitting here in the past ended up becoming Rankster's stepping stones. This was a serious matter.
Also, Douglas heard something that he didn't like from Elizabeth's words. He glanced at Fox.
This fellow was Rankster's half-brother, and Rankster had spared his life in the final battle. Now, he was trying to secretly kill her behind her back with dirty tricks?
Fox lowered his eyes and did not respond. He had been waiting for this day for hundreds of years. A mixed-blood bastard had stolen the throne that should have belonged to him. Now that he was finally dead, how could he allow his daughter to sit on the throne that should have belonged to him?
For this, he would do whatever it took.
The second elder looked at Douglas, and said, "Great Elder, the position of the chief of the Frost Dragon tribe has been empty for many years. We have become the laughingstock of the other dragon tribes. Rankster is most likely dead. Fox and Elizabeth are the best candidates for the new chief. Since Elizabeth took the initiative to challenge Fox, I think it is feasible to decide the new chief through this duel."
"I agree." Six other elders raised their hands one after another.
"I object." The fifth elder stood up, and said to Douglas, "Great Elder, Elizabeth is the most powerful person among the younger generation of the Frost Dragon tribe. She is also the most promising prodigy to reach the 10th-tier in 100 years. She is still young, and her abilities are much weaker than Fox. This is not a fair duel at all. Even if the winner is decided, how can the others be convinced? "
"I also agree with the fifth elder. Elizabeth is still young. Even if we want to duel, we have to wait for another few decades. We have to let her reach the 9th-tier at least and be on the same level as Fox. Only then will the duel be acknowledged by all the members of the tribe. Let the other dragons be the laughingstock. How can it shake the position of the Frost Dragon tribe as one of the top 10 dragon tribes? "the seventh elder said as he stood up.
"What a joke. If we wait for another few decades, won't the Frost Dragon tribe have to be without a chief for the next few decades? If Elizabeth can't break through to the 9th-tier after a few hundred years, are we going to make Fox wait? Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder, this is a challenge initiated by Elizabeth herself. What are you trying to do by objecting like this? "the second elder shouted at the two dragons.
"Enough." Douglas stopped everyone's quarrel. He looked at Fox, and said, "Fox, do you dare to accept Elizabeth's challenge?"
Fox raised his eyes and glanced at Elizabeth. Then, he looked at Douglas, and respectfully said, "Since Elizabeth wants to challenge me to choose a new chief for the Frost Dragon tribe, Fox is willing to accept the challenge and bear all the consequences."
"Alright. The two of you will duel at the Frost Battlefield tomorrow afternoon," Douglas said in a low voice.
"Great Elder …" The fifth elder and seventh elder still wanted to say something.
"It's settled. The Frost Dragon tribe has always spoken with our abilities." Douglas raised his hand, and then disappeared from the spot.
The other elders also disappeared one after another.
"Farewell, elders." Fox bowed. When he straightened his body, he was already full of smiles. He turned and walked towards Elizabeth. He stopped beside her, and smilingly said, "You shouldn't have come back. If you had hidden like your father, I really wouldn't have been able to do anything to you."
"One day, I will kill you." Elizabeth clenched her fists slowly, and turned to look at Fox calmly.
Fox's expression froze, and then he sneered. He went closer to Elizabeth, and said, "But you don't have the chance now. I will kill you tomorrow."
Fox turned and walked out of the hall. He opened his arms and transformed into a Frost Dragon. He flapped his wings and flew away.
"Father said that as long as I'm alive, there's still a chance."
In the empty hall, Elizabeth opened her right hand, and a Frost Dragon Source that emitted a cold aura appeared in her palm.
…
"Father, where are we going today?"
Amy, who was riding on Meg's neck, asked excitedly. They had left the city early in the morning, and were now walking on a small path in the mountains.
