The difference between Dragonoids and True Dragon lies in the latter possessing the body of a giant dragon.
Among the nearly one hundred kin present, about one-third successfully evolved into True Dragon.
Low-ranking True Dragon, Mid-ranking True Dragon, High-ranking True Dragon, and above them, the Dragon Kings.
The hierarchy here does not refer to the True Dragon's combat power, but to the origin they inherited.
For example, taking the attribute of fire.
Simple Fire Dragons and Red Dragons are actually low-ranking True Dragon.
Above them are special True Dragon that mutated from fire elents, such as Exploding Fla Dragons, Blazing Dragons, Fiery Dragons, and so on.
These belong to Mid-ranking True Dragon.
As for High-ranking True Dragon, their characteristic is uniqueness.
Such as Mantle Dragons, Magma Dragons, Ash Dragons, and so on.
The characteristic of High-ranking True Dragon is their ability to form a massive domain centered on themselves and transform the natural environnt within that domain to suit themselves.
As for Dragon Kings,
Dragon Kings are born from High-ranking True Dragon.
Theoretically, any High-ranking Dragon has the opportunity to beco a Dragon King.
The prerequisite is to awaken the Dragon King factor and receive the confernt of the True Dragon.
"No matter."
Rin said, "Consider it your paynt received in advance from ."
"We shall certainly complete your mission!"
Souka rembered the price Rin had ntioned earlier.
Only now, her heart felt even more ashad.
If they were to fight the Western Nations with the strength of Lizardn, it would indeed be a life-for-a-pledge situation.
But the problem now was that they had evolved.
For Souka and the others, who had beco True Dragon, dealing with the Western Nations was almost effortlessly easy.
To put it plainly, Rin was still looking out for them.
In the future, I must repay this kindness!
There was no other way. Souka could only secretly rember Rin's grace.
At the sa ti, she also thought of the mockery from Aone and the other two girls.
However, this ti, Souka did not bla them.
From her current position, she dared not use the power she received from Rin to provoke the Oni Race.
The only thing Souka could do was to find a way to achieve rits, thereby telling the Oni Race that they, the Lizardn—no, now they were True Dragon.
They, the True Dragon, were not shaless people.
Sooner or later, I will lead the True Dragon to surpass the Oni Race and gain the favor of the Creation Dragon God!
...
Rin could actually hear so of his subordinates' thoughts, especially when they ntioned him.
However, he didn't say much.
Competition, as long as it was healthy, was a good thing.
"Next, you will follow Rimuru's orders. Do not disappoint ."
After Rin finished speaking, he disappeared from before Souka and the others.
"Yes!"
At this mont, let alone obeying Rin, even if he told her to die, Souka would not hesitate for a second.
"Congratulations, Souka-san."
"I apologize for my previous offense, Rimuru-sama, please do not take it to heart."
Souka already knew about the Lizardn's grievances with Rin. She now wished she could tear Gabiru into a million pieces.
The scene when Souei ca to offer surrender.
Souka found no fault with the entire process.
But Gabiru had insisted on his own way.
Even if he couldn't see the situation clearly, he should at least have brought Souei before the leader for him to decide personally.
However, Gabiru took it upon himself to act, angering Souei and causing the Lizardn race to miss a heaven-sent opportunity to join Rin's command early.
Now look, so many Lizardn were led to a dead end by Gabiru.
Gabiru!!
You scum of the Lizardn race!!
Just thinking about how their Lizardn had the chance to follow closely in the footsteps of the Oni Race and beco Rin's second subordinates.
But because of Gabiru's arrogance and disdain, they missed such a heaven-sent opportunity.
In the end, not to ntion the Oni Race and the Tengu.
The Lizardn couldn't even compare to the Goblin and the Starfang wolves, completely becoming the tail-enders of the Jura Great Forest's monster groups.
Sigh...
Well, what was done was done. No matter how much Souka disliked Gabiru, it was useless.
"Please allow to go to the battlefield and retrieve the surviving mbers of my race."
Souka was ntally prepared for so of the Lizardn to die.
Souka didn't bla Rin. She even felt he was overly rciful.
If it were any other powerful being, having been so ignored and humiliated, the Lizardn race would have been annihilated long ago.
How could they still be like this, only having so of Gabiru's loyalists purged, and paying with the lives of a portion of their race?
The only thing Souka could do now was to speed up.
Then, she would preserve as many lives of her race as possible, allowing them to break free from the shackles of the Lizardn, just like herself, and evolve into True Dragon.
"Hmm, then, let's depart."
As Rimuru finished speaking, the Dragonoids and Dragon race present were imdiately enveloped by a massive teleportation array.
The next mont, everyone vanished directly from the underground prison.
Ti rewound to half an hour earlier.
"All troops, halt!"
Gabiru, leading nearly 30,000 Lizardn, ordered the entire army to stop.
He looked at the cliff ahead, his face filled with doubt.
"Gabiru-sama?"
Seeing him stop, his loyal subordinates hurried forward to inquire.
"Ahead…"
Gabiru said, "I rember it being a forest wetland, right?"
The forest wetland, similar to a basin-structured canyon, was lush with grass and abundant in water, making it a favorite place for many herbivores.
However, the layout of the forest wetland was very special.
It was sowhat like a teorite crater, with surrounding rocky bulwarks resembling cliffs, and only one entrance on each of the east and west sides for convenient passage.
"Yes, Gabiru-sama."
A subordinate asked, "Is sothing wrong?"
"No, nothing is wrong."
"Gelmud-sama even considered the environnt we Lizardn prefer."
"As expected of Gelmud-sama!"
Gabiru didn't doubt much and imdiately ordered to advance. "Just a little more, once we pass through this canyon, we will rest in the forest wetland!"
The Lizardn race numbered about 37,000 people in total.
And at Gelmud's request, Gabiru brought all his race mbers, except for the truly old and weak who had no combat power.
Because it was too rushed, the Lizardn's equipnt was not good.
Only about 8,000 genuinely had elite armants. Most only wore simple leather armor.
As for weapons…
They used whatever they had.
If all else failed, the Lizardn's own claws and teeth were also good weapons.
Thus, Gabiru led 30,000 Lizardn straight through the mountain pass and into the forest wetland.
It was dawn at this ti, the sky was dim, and dense fog perated the surroundings, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of one's face.
