Translator: 549690339
By the ti Otto reached the Sulfur Mountains, the war between Lait and Mido was reaching its conclusion.
Both sides were neighboring countries, with similar geography and cultures.
It was said that many years ago, Lait, Mido, and Dilant were once part of the sa country, but were forcibly divided into three smaller nations after losing a war against Farrand.
So, based on appearance, the Lait and Mido people looked quite similar.
However, when it ca to weaponry and equipnt, the two sides had stark differences.
One side wore ragged clothes, the other side was well-equipped.
Although both sides favored wearing thick leather clothing, the equipnt of the Mido people was not only newer but also more robust compared to the worn-out ones of the Lait people.
Despite this, the Mido people were completely outmatched by the Lait people.
Hidden in the clouds, Otto happened to witness the end of this battle, as the ragged Lait people ruthlessly killed all the Mido soldiers, not leaving anyone alive.
Subsequently, they started fighting among themselves for the well-preserved weapons and equipnt.
Their combat style was brutal and barbaric, more akin to a terrifying horde of gnolls than a human army.
There was no semblance of order in their tactics, just all-out aggression.
Even so, the well-organized, shield-bearing Mido people were overwheld almost instantly.
What caught Otto’s attention was the sight of a bare-chested, Lait strongman wielding a long battle ax, breathing out a thunderstorm.
Yes, it was like a Lightning Breath.
Although its power seed much weaker, Otto believed he was not mistaken — that was Lightning Breath.
“Damn, could this guy be a Dragonman?”
Although Otto considered this possibility, the man looked like a typical Lait person with no apparent characteristics of a Dragonborn.
As Otto pondered this, the Lait people began to thoroughly clean up the battlefield.
Otto flew to the Sulphur Mountains, where the Lait people seed to have little interest.
As night fell, they set up camp, lit fires, and cooked.
Otto called for so Hawkn, and, at the request of the Silver Dragon, they stealthily flew towards the Lait camp under the cover of darkness.
In a short while, the Hawkn girls captured a Lait soldier for Otto.
The man was relieving himself outside the camp, only to be knocked out by the sudden attack from the Hawkn and brought to the Sulphur Mountains before he could even finish and clean himself.
From the air, Otto had seen that even ordinary Lait soldiers with shields and short swords were capable of wreaking havoc on their foes.
At first glance, their combat abilities seed to be close to the Quilboar, if not sowhat stronger.
Moreover, the Lait people fought almost like typical monsters, relying solely on physical strength and instincts.
In terms of ordinary human physical conditions, this was worth considering.
Otto stared at the bearded Lait man for a long ti without noticing anything special.
Soon after, the Hawkn girls caught two more unconscious Lait soldiers.
Suddenly, there was a commotion coming from the Lait camp’s direction, followed by several injured Hawkn fleeing back to the Sulphur Mountains at high speed.
It seed their movents had been discovered.
After instructing the Chiras and Hawkn on the Sulphur Mountains to carefully monitor the Lait people’s actions, Otto brought the Hawkn and the three captured Lait soldiers back to the Land of the Soaring Dragon.
Soon after, Sofia and Moray ca to join them.
Upon eting, Otto noticed that Moray’s expression was off; the demonic face on the ruby grew resentful when looking at him.
As Otto was puzzled, Sofia casually said, “I’ve already made a Blood Covenant with him.”
Well, so that was it then.
Otto shrugged, not putting much thought into it.
He then pointed to the three unconscious Lait captives and said, “I feel that these Lait people are a bit special. See if you can find anything unusual about them.”
At the sa ti, Otto also shared the situation he observed on the battlefield.
The ferocity of the Lait people, as neighbors, was quite morable.
Despite being full of resentnt, Moray was still curious and drifted over to the captives.
Soon, he exclaid in surprise, “I don’t think these guys even look like pure humans anymore… ‘
Sofia’s eyes sparkled as she said, “I detected faint magic reactions on them. They’re not like ordinary humanoid creatures; they remind of the sensation
I got from ga Fatty…”
“You an they might be Dragonborn?”
Moray, slightly surprised, stabbed the end of the Soul Eater Wand into the hand of a Lait man, drawing blood.
Sensing a hint of Blue Dragon heritage in the blood, Moray hesitated, “It seems to have so Blue Dragon bloodline in it… ‘
He then used the sa thod to test the blood of the other two Lait captives, eventually frowning and said, “Another Blue Dragon bloodline, and one that seems to be related to White Dragon…”
Hearing this, Otto asked, “So, are the Lait people descendants of the Color Dragons? Are they actually Dragon people?”
“No way… ‘
Moray gave Otto a disdainful look and continued, “Haven’t we captured and studied a few Lait captives before? Sofia and I have conducted nurous research on them.
Therefore, I can confidently say that whether it’s their physical body or soul, the Lait people are undoubtedly pure humans!”
He then glanced at the three new captives before saying, “Considering their bloodline and the signs you ntioned, I think the new Lait king may have discovered a way to turn their army into pseudo-Dragonborn.”
“Pseudo-Dragonborn?”
“Yes, because this level of Dragonization can at best make these Lait people stronger.”
After giving it so thought, Moray continued, “They may also beco more ferocious, after all, they’re using the bloodlines of evil dragons…
Moray’s observations seed to align with what Otto saw on the battlefield.
Then, Sofia pulled out a small clay pot from the pocket of an unconscious Lait man’s shirt.
Considering the quality of this Lait soldier’s equipnt, he was likely a squad leader or the like.
Based on what Otto had observed from the air, the Lait soldiers at this level were incredibly fierce.
According to the feedback from the Hawkn, this man behaved no differently from an ordinary Lait person when relieving himself..
