Chapter 197 Dinosaur Man Tiga

Agreed frowned slightly. Yorick's panic displeased him, but Agreed still patiently continued to ask, "How many people make you so unsure? After five years of development and recuperation, the Southern Frontier now has tens of thousands of warriors. Just how many enemies have made you so panicked that you came to me?"

Yorick exclaimed excitedly, "Fifty thousand! At least fifty thousand lizardmen are marching towards us. Lord Otto himself went to investigate and confirmed the reliability of this information. We even saw Tyrannosaurus Rex and Triceratops among those lizardmen troops. This is a large army with excellent equipment and siege beasts. If the situation were not so serious, we would not dare to risk our lives to disturb our master's peaceful rest."

Agreed slowly exhaled a breath of stale air and asked again, "Have you continued to monitor the movements of the centaurs on the Eastern Plains? Two years ago, those bandits were already eyeing this place covetously. Have you confirmed their threat? You know, being taken advantage of in a crisis is a very unpleasant thing."

Yorick quickly said, "I've investigated, Master. Those centaurs suddenly retreated and disappeared on the southern border. It's obvious they know something. What should we do now, Master?"

After thinking for a moment, Agreed said, "It's obvious that the enemy's army is now beyond your ability to handle. So... let me handle this one. I haven't been active for a long time, so I'll use these lizardmen as practice. You don't need to be idle either. Gather the troops and keep a close watch on the centaurs' movements to prevent trouble from starting in our own backyard."

After saying that, Agreed spread his wings and flew into the distance. Yorick, looking in Agreed's direction, couldn't help but shout, "Be careful, Master!"

……

In the southern wilderness of Southern Xinjiang, a leader with blue scales and dressed in magnificent attire is enjoying his dinner with his old companion, leaning against the leg of his Tyrannosaurus Rex mount. If you look closely, you'll find that he doesn't actually look like a lizardman. In fact, he is a mutated lizardman, a 'dinosaur man'. Dinosaur men are closer to dinosaurs in appearance and physique, so you'll see horns and bone spikes on the leader's face that are nowhere to be seen on lizardmen. His face is angular and even more handsome than those dragon men with dragon blood, full of a unique violent beauty.

And this blue dinosaur-like man is none other than 'Tiga,' the tribal leader who attacked southern Xinjiang this time.

At this moment, a gray-white dinosaur-like man with a face resembling a Triceratops walked over and said to Tiga, "Brother, are we really going to abandon our homeland and settle here? The environment here is so much worse than the oasis forest. It's even a problem for our tribe to have enough to eat here."

Tiga stopped eating and sighed helplessly, "But what can we do, 'Glock'? Our home has been occupied by that extremely old green dragon. Our clan has suffered a crushing defeat and can only flee here. At least for now, we must survive so that we can take back our home."

Glock shouted unwillingly, "If we can awaken the ancient elder 'Kroka' in time, maybe we can win. The elder's ancient holy magic can definitely kill that dragon."

Tiga shook his head and calmly analyzed, "Dragons' extremely high resistance to magic makes them very difficult to kill with magic. Awakening the Grand Elder will probably only cause our race to suffer even greater losses. Now we should conserve our strength and wait for an opportunity to make a comeback, rather than participating in a meaningless war again. Do you understand?"

Glock nodded noncommittally to indicate that he understood, but Tiga could tell from his eyes that his impatient younger brother had completely ignored him. However, it didn't matter; Tiga knew that although his brother was reckless, he still had a brain, and he knew that his brother was simply unable to swallow his anger.

Then Glock asked to himself, "I heard that some people have seen dragons around here in the southern border region. Do you think it's a good idea for us to settle here? Or will we be kicked out again?"

Tiga shook his head and analyzed, "Although the environment in the Southern Frontier has changed drastically for some reason, it is still a very barren land in the eyes of dragons. Even if dragons appear here, they are probably just passing through. After all, dragons are arrogant and like to plunder. They never develop slowly. How could they stay in a poor place like the Southern Frontier? The human world in the north, the oasis forests further south, the grasslands in the east, and the coastal areas in the west, plus other continents, are all better than this wilderness. How could dragons stay here?"

“That makes sense,” Glock agreed.

But before the two brothers could finish their conversation, a towering flame appeared before the lizardmen army. A huge black dragon, its body completely black, appeared before the lizardmen. The light-absorbing properties of the Argred dragon body made it extremely difficult to detect, so much so that even when it was right in front of the lizardmen, they did not react. They had to 'introduce himself' to the dragon.

Tiga belatedly mounted his Tyrannosaurus Rex mount and then directed all the lizardmen to form a formation to confront the giant dragon in front of them. Agreed looked at the nervous lizardmen in front of him and chuckled, "Interesting. You have a high level of discipline and organization. It seems you are not brainless idiots. You were even driven out of your home. Is that green dragon difficult to deal with?"

Glock, riding his Triceratops, roared angrily, "Enough talk, let's fight! I'm not afraid of you, damn it..."

"Shut up!" Tiga suddenly turned around and glared fiercely at his younger brother, instantly scaring him into swallowing back the words he was about to say.

Tiga rode the Tyrannosaurus Rex slowly to Agreed's side, then said in a humble voice, "Great Dragon Lord, we had no intention of offending your territory. We...we really didn't expect you to settle here. We'll leave now. Please forgive our ignorance and be merciful enough to let my people leave."

Tiga wasn't stupid. The dragon in front of him was much stronger than that extremely old green dragon. If a real fight broke out, it was questionable whether his few men could withstand the bombardment of high-level magic. Even if he was in a hurry to reincarnate, he couldn't do this. The most important thing now was to protect his people.

Agreed couldn't help but feel a fondness for Tiga, who perfectly met his requirements, and took the initiative to recruit him, saying, "I don't think your suggestion suits my taste. How about this, I'm currently in need of a strong army, and I think you guys are excellent. If you come and work for me, I'll forgive your offense. How about that? This condition is reasonable, isn't it?"

Glock couldn't sit still any longer. He spurred the Triceratops beneath his feet to charge at Agreed while shouting, "You're asking for death!"

Tiga glanced at his younger brother in a panic, then shouted helplessly, "Attack together!"
