Chapter 333 - 328: It Wasn’t the Red Dragon That Sent Us
Generally, Red Dragons are known for their terrible temper, favoring slaughter and destruction above all else. However, the Red Dragon ruling Watchtower Port is rumored to be exceptionally tolerant. As long as one submits to it, everything is negotiable. Even those Elves who had offended it in the past are still living well now.
After learning that the Kraken had failed, the Sahuagin Baron had considered submitting to the Red Dragon. The problem was that they had once promised the Red Dragon not to attack ships under its protection, but they broke that promise when the Kraken appeared. Back then, who could have expected the Kraken wouldn’t be a match for that Red Dragon...
Betrayers are unlikely to regain trust. Instead, pretending ignorance seemed like the safer option—burying one’s head in the sand as if nothing had happened. Naturally, the Red Dragon was extraordinarily vindictive, and even after several months, it still remembered the Sahuagins’ attack on its protected ships.
The Red Dragon is not adept at underwater combat but sent its subordinate Bronze Dragons instead.
If they could defeat those two Bronze Dragons and showcase their formidable combat prowess, the Sahuagins might stand a chance at negotiating with the Red Dragon.
Without the assistance of Siege Crabs, defeating invading enemies would require relying on the Dragon Turtle, a creature crucial to the Sahuagins’ safety. At the Baron’s command, the Sahuagin Priestess led a team of Sahuagin Warriors, prepared quickly, and departed without delay.
The Dragon Turtle’s lair was located in a deep-sea trench.
Though classified as a dragon, Dragon Turtles care little for nest design, unlike True Dragons, and rarely modify their habitats. When selecting a lair, their priorities are its size—to accommodate their massive, growing bodies—and proximity to sea lanes while avoiding troublesome neighbors.
"Great Lord Agama, we’ve come to see you." Underwater, sound doesn’t travel well, but the Sahuagin Priestess had her ways.
