Chapter 288 - Chapter 288 Triple the Guards

However, although there was no deep-seated hatred between the Savage Dragon Hunting Group and Grimmore, they would absolutely not cooperate.

Grimmore had always been arrogant and looked down on Savage.

Savage shrugged, staring at Draeger.

"Don't worry, it's not that I want to go back on my word, it's just that I have new plans."

"After all, I control the lives of over a million people, and if I don't have money, my subordinates will definitely not be loyal to me anymore; they might even secretly flee."

Draeger glanced at Savage contemptuously.

In his own legion, no one would dare to run away with a warship midway.

Because the consequence of fleeing was to have one's limbs cut off and be hung on the mast, serving as a warning to everyone.

Draeger nodded and said, "I hope you won't delay our agreement."

"Otherwise, that fellow Grimmore won't have a good temper."

"Rest assured, rest assured, I have already sent someone to explain everything clearly to Grimmore."

Draeger didn't say much, as he couldn't command the Savage Dragon Hunting Group to fight for him at the moment.

Savage casually called over two soldiers.

"Pass on my order: the fleet that defeated Draeger's fleet will stay in Green Town, and he has a Night Fury mount."

"Whoever can cut off the Night Fury's head can come to our Savage Dragon Hunting Group to claim one hundred thousand gold coins."

When Savage issued the order, he didn't intend to hide it from Draeger.

After all, to him, Draeger was merely a prisoner, and he could take his life at any time.

However, anyone who could defeat Draeger and Dragon King Alpha was definitely not an ordinary person.

Therefore, he dared not take any risks.

Not to mention, among his million-strong fleet, there were still over a hundred thousand elderly, weak, and sick.

"Lord Leader, if the Royal Guard asks, how should we respond?"

Savage smiled faintly and looked at Draeger.

"Just say that we are preparing to help Earl Dreg get revenge and reclaim his lost territory and soldiers."

"Yes, Lord Leader."

After hearing this, Draeger's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

There was an unwritten rule in the Kingdom of Norland.

Noble territories could be bought and sold at will, and if taken by another noble, the territory would belong to the victor.

This included all his property and his life.

If one wanted the support of the Royal Guard, one had to pay the corresponding price.

Draeger was now left with only himself; let alone gold coins, he couldn't even produce a single copper coin. Not to mention paying a price to request the Royal Guard's intervention.

Savage was practically saying directly that everything of Draeger's would belong to him alone.

Draeger snorted coldly, tightened his prosthetic limb, and slowly turned to return to his cabin.

After Draeger left, Savage's aide couldn't help but ask, "Lord Leader, since we are going to seize Draeger's territory..."

"Why are we still releasing the news?"

Savage turned his head and said with a smile, "Because this time, we have another ally."

"Grimmore seems to be alone, but he also has a considerable number of soldiers under him."

"The most crucial thing is that Grimmore doesn't value the strength of an army at all; he values his personal strength more."

"In the end, if Grimmore doesn't get the benefits he wants from this battle, he will definitely turn his attention to us."

"In the end, no matter who pays more, Grimmore will swallow half of Draeger's territory."

"We release the news."

"Certainly, some people will think that Draeger and the legion in Green Town fought to a mutual destruction."

"This way, someone will help us probe the strength of that legion."

"At the same time, it can also help us deplete their strength."

The aide's brows were tightly furrowed; for him, a berserker, such intricate relations of interest made it difficult for him to think clearly.

To him, everything at sea had to be decided by strength.

If he were the leader, he would simply lead a large army to kill his way through; if anyone dared to seize his territory, he would just lead his men back to kill them.

So, he still couldn't help but ask, "But, Lord Leader, will these people really challenge Green Town?"

"Even the Sea Overlord Draeger and his Dragon King were no match for that legion; how could they possibly go to their deaths?"

Savage sneered.

"They will."

"As long as they defeat that legion in Green Town, it will be enough to prove their strength, and they might even consider themselves the new Sea Overlord."

"Think about it, if we can find allies, then won't other Dragon Hunting Groups also go?"

"The Dragon Hunting Group forces on this sea surface will probably be redivided due to Draeger's defeat."

"For the sake of the Sea Overlord's reputation, people will certainly continue to challenge Green Town."

Savage's tone suddenly shifted as he said, "Pass on my order: have Rog lead a fleet of twenty thousand men to preemptively occupy a position in Green Town."

"Rog? His soldiers are all old men, how could they..."

Savage said sharply, "It's enough to just park the fleet on the sea and plant our flag in Green Town."

"Let those Dragon Hunting Groups think they can take advantage of the chaos."

"Even if the legion in Green Town annihilates Rog, we won't lose anything."

"Rog and his soldiers should have already gone to see Odin."

The aide thought for a moment and decided to carry out Savage's order first.

After all, the Savage Dragon Hunting Group's ability to maintain its second position relied not only on strength but also on Savage's wisdom.

Savage said to another soldier, "Pass on my order: two days from now, spread the news that our first small team has already launched an attack on Green Town and captured a castle."

With that, Savage twisted his neck twice and said indifferently, "Take me to see that Light Fury."

Upon arriving at the iron cage where Light Fury was held, Savage didn't see Light Fury, only an empty iron cage.

"Where's Light Fury?"

The soldier in charge of guarding quickly clenched his right fist in a salute and said, "Reporting to Lord Leader, Light Fury has always been confined in the cage."

With that, the soldier swung the spear in his hand and thrust it into the corner of the cage.

"Ow~~"

Black blood seemed to flow out of thin air.

Light Fury revealed her form from the corner, her eyes fierce and her face wary as she looked at Savage and the soldiers in front of her.

"Light Fury can hide her form, making her difficult to discover."

"Last night, the mermaid left footprints outside Light Fury's cage, but didn't find Light Fury, which is why she's still alive."

Savage said coldly, "Increase the number of soldiers guarding Light Fury by threefold. If anything happens to Light Fury, all of you will be buried with her."
