After reading the contents of the letter, Su Qing's eyes grew increasingly hostile.

Some time ago, several caravans from Dragon Territory sent back messages, saying they were being squeezed out by their competitors. Counterfeit glass had also been developed and was beginning to compete with Dragon Territory for the market.

Su Qing didn't pay much attention at first, treating it as pure business competition, but he didn't expect them to resort to underhanded tactics, as if they really thought he, this black dragon, was made of clay.

But before that, he needs to figure out who the enemy is.

The opponent acted very discreetly. Although there were several suspected targets, it was impossible to determine them in a short period of time.

We can't possibly clean them all at once!

Moreover, the family forces in Chaotic Territory are not so easy to deal with.

Su Qing stretched her body, realizing she would have to make another trip this time.

...

The core area of ​​the Twilight Forest.

The dense trees blocked out the sun, preventing any sunlight from penetrating this vast, forbidden forest.

Here, the oldest and most ancient magical beasts are meeting.

A white wolf with snow-white fur, a two-headed eagle, and an old tortoise with a yellowish-brown shell as large as a hill.

The three overlords of the Twilight Forest all looked rather grim at that moment.

"Dragon Territory has gone too far!"

The white wolf spoke in human language, its wolf face grim: "They're hunting large numbers of magical beasts from our Twilight Forest! They're not taking us seriously!"

The eagle chimed in: "Using our people to train soldiers is absolutely intolerable!"

The two talked, then looked at the old turtle lying in the swamp with only half its head on the ground: "Old turtle, what do you think!"

The old tortoise said weakly, "Hunting is one thing, and I can tolerate training troops, but cutting down trees is too much. They need to be taught a lesson."

At first, when the Black Armor Army was clearing the outer area, they noticed it but didn't care.

It was assumed that these humans were taking precautions in advance because they were worried that the monsters would escape from the forest and cause widespread chaos.

As a result, they had unknowingly swept up the core area, and not only did they hunt down monsters, these bastards even cut down all the trees to build cities and houses.

If this continues, the Twilight Forest may cease to exist, and those three old monsters will have nowhere to live. This is absolutely unacceptable!

"Eliminate these black bugs!"

The white wolf spoke with murderous intent.

"Humans are not to be trifled with. Mass killing humans might provoke the wrath of powerful humans. We should go and warn the lord of this territory!"

The old tortoise tried to dissuade them: "If they don't listen, then kill them and replace them with obedient ones. This time, humans have gone too far. Killing a few people is not our fault."

White Wolf nodded and looked at Azure Eagle: "I'll trouble you to make this trip; you're more suited for action!"

The eagle nodded its two heads simultaneously, its sharp eyes revealing a chilling intent.

Although the monsters have reached the Glorious level and gained great intelligence, becoming able to speak human language, their bestial nature is still difficult to suppress.

The brutality and ruthlessness in their bloodline influence the minds of the monsters.

With its wings spread wide, it blotted out the sky, reaching a height of nearly ten meters, and with a slight tremor, it soared into the sky.

...

"While I'm away, I'll leave the affairs of the territory to you!"

Su Qing, dressed in a black robe with her tail wrapped around her waist, patted Little Mary's head with her gloved paws.

The girl blinked mischievously, her initial awe of the dragon long gone. She pouted and said, "It seems that when you were here, I was always the one handling all the affairs of the territory, big and small, right?"

Su Qing was rebuffed and remained silent for a moment before looking at Little Mary with loving eyes.

"Do you need a beating?"

Su Qing felt that she might have been too gentle lately: "After I come back, you should also go to the academy to study!"

The kind of learning that Su Qing mentioned was naturally the same as that of those students, running tens of thousands of meters every day and various training sessions.

This made little Mary, a princess who hadn't suffered much, feel a little uneasy just thinking about it.

After saying goodbye, Su Qing prepared to leave.

If anyone makes a move against Dragon Territory, even if it's just a dishonest tactic in business competition, Su Qing is prepared to retaliate properly.

Of course, he needed to travel to the Chaotic Territory to inquire about the situation from the Gustavo family, to uncover this hidden rival, and also to visit his sworn brother.

It's been so long since we last saw each other, I really miss it!

Suddenly, a loud eagle's cry rang out, and the sun was blocked by something, casting a large area of ​​shade, as if the sky above was shrouded in shadow.

Su Qing looked up and saw a two-headed giant eagle circling in the sky, its terrifying aura causing an uproar.

The guards protecting the aerial castle stood ready, spears in hand.

Su Qing's lips twitched slightly as she sensed the aura emanating from it.

Where did that glorious-level magical beast come from?

"Where is the lord of this place? Has he realized he has made a mistake and fled?"

The giant eagle in the sky spoke in a sharp, human voice, though it was unclear which head was speaking.

Su Qing removed his black robe, leaped up, and his body swelled to the size of a giant eagle, meeting the gaze of his opponent.

"I am here. May I ask what brings you here, senior?"

Above the sky, a black dragon and a hawk each exuded their own aura, standing in stark contrast.

"A complete service?"

The eagle's voice was somewhat strange: "A dragon comes to be the lord of humanity?"

"What you said, senior, is a bit impolite. Humans and dragons are both races that live on the continent, so why make such a clear distinction?"

Su Qing spoke righteously: "Dragons and humans are one family. Dragon riders have existed since ancient times. Since humans can ride dragons, what's wrong with dragons ruling over humans!"

The eagle's two heads looked at each other, both seeing the strange look in the other's eyes.

This trip has been quite an eye-opener; have the main roads really become like this now?

But soon it remembered its purpose: "I came here for the Twilight Forest!"

It mentioned its origins, and Su Qing's expression changed slightly.

Has the Forest of Twilight finally been detonated?

Some old demonic beasts slumbered in that forbidden area. Su Qing knew this, but at the time he was only besieging the outer area, so he didn't pay much attention. As a result, he had unknowingly reached the core area and alerted these old guys.

"So you're a senior from the Twilight Forest. Did you come here to visit relatives?"

Su Qing's thoughts flashed, and she spoke, immediately stunning the eagle opposite her.

The two-headed eagle blinked, looking completely bewildered.

It considered that the other party might beg for mercy, that the other party might be tough, that the other party might fight it, that the other party might turn around and run away, and that the other party might try to argue with it...

In short, it considered many possibilities, but what the heck is this "visiting relatives" thing?

Su Qing smiled gently.

P.S.: Just to clarify, if I finish writing before 12 o'clock, there will be no anti-theft measures. I apologize if this causes any inconvenience to readers!
