A Core Ship From The Start

Chapter 200: Chapter 160 Sneaking (Seems like there are no new games this month)_1

Duanmu Huai discovered that he indeed was not gifted in making conversations.

After that, Greiya had completely withdrawn into herself, silently trailing behind Duanmu Huai. Hmm… apparently, they had run out of things to talk about.

However, for Duanmu Huai, this was another question that he had to ask.

Always, the identity of hybrids was the most awkward; they belonged to neither side. In honesty, Duanmu Huai’s most disliked were those foolish couples that birthed hybrids under the name of true love. If it was within human hybrids, that could still be tolerated since the difference isn’t much. But hybrids between humans and other races were an entirely different story.

Like Greiya, it’s not clear whether she is a dragon or a human. This species, unpleasing to both sides and unable to find a sense of belonging, can be said to be the most troublesome. In fact, even they themselves, are often uncertain.

Felin is the same, and by Felin’s account, there were quite a few Dragonkin hybrids in their time. But why were they now extinct?

To put it simply, they were naturally eliminated.

Neither humans nor the Dragon Race would accept these Dragonkin, and their numbers were too small to form a racial group. As such, they faded away over the long span of time.

Indeed, for Judges, hybrids have always been a troublesome issue. Some Judges directly categorize them as aliens and purify them. Some Judges use these hybrids as tools to fight the Chaos Evil God and aliens, and some Judges simply ignore them, leaving them to their fate.

Duanmu Huai still remembers that in the “future” he saw before, Greiya led the invasion of Manaria by Regnes. This meant that, in the end, Greiya still chose the Dragon Race side. Although Regnes had temporarily lowered their banners due to the defeat of Evil Dragon Fafner, Duanmu Huai would not naively think that the Giant Dragons of Regnes had simply surrendered.

And now, Greiya had obtained the Dragon Roar… This skill was indeed quite peculiar, and even contains some rules. It can be assured that, once Greiya had fully mastered the power of the Dragon Roar, she would definitely become a great threat to humans. Therefore, Duanmu Huai needed her to clarify her position, whether she was part of the humans or the Giant Dragons.

If Regnes obtained a major weapon like the Dragon Roar, would their attitude change?

Would they launch another attack on humans?

You have to understand that this World Fragment is controlled by Duanmu Huai. Naturally, he wouldn’t want this world to be embroiled in war. However, on the contrary, he wouldn’t allow any race in this world to pose a threat to humans.

Thus, when night fell and the two were resting in a ruined forest, Greiya spoke for the first time.

“I… envy you, Sir Knight.”

“Oh?”

Duanmu Huai, who was tending the fire, heard Greiya speak. He raised his eyebrow and looked at her. With Duanmu Huai’s gaze on her, Greiya hesitated for a moment before continuing.

“Because… Sir Knight can firmly state his stance, but… I can’t make decisions as easily as Sir Knight.”

“That’s how it is for Hybrids.”

Duanmu Huai stared into the fire, humming lightly. Greiya then contemplated for a moment before looking at Duanmu Huai again.

“Then Sir Knight, I’d like to ask… which side do you hope I would choose?”

“To me, it’s simple – of course, the humans.”

“Huh?”

Seeing Duanmu Huai give such an easy answer, Greiya was taken aback.

“Why?”

“Simply put, because you are good friends with Ann, which would prevent both of you from confronting each other in battle. Of course, what’s most important to me is… ”

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai focused intently on Greiya.

“I won’t allow any race to pose threats to humans’ safety. Greiya, you’ve followed me for quite some time now. I believe you understand that if I wished, I could totally annihilate the entire Regnes. And I believe you know very well, even though the Evil Dragon King is dead, the internal attitude towards humans in Regnes still remains polarized, am I correct?”

“This…”

Although Greiya wanted to say it wasn’t the case, unfortunately… The fact was as Duanmu Huai said, moreover, within Regnes, the hard-liners against humans were in the majority, while those friendly towards humans were in the minority. If it weren’t for Duanmu Huai’s feat of eliminating the Evil Dragon King, which greatly deterred the hard-liners, who knows what might have happened.

But Greiya also knew that the hard-liners chose to retreat, not out of friendliness towards humans, but merely for fear of Duanmu Huai’s might.

Moreover, Duanmu Huai’s power was far from exhausted.

Greiya would certainly not forget how terrifying that colossal metal warship stretching across the sky was. One could imagine that even all the dragons of Regnes couldn’t survive under its horrific firepower. Greiya wasn’t naive, let alone a fool. Although her quiet demeanor gave off a vibe of introverted slowness, in fact, Greiya was always pondering. She just seldom voiced her thoughts.

In fact, all the way, Greiya seemed withdrawn, but actually, she had been constantly thinking about one question.

That was, how to avoid conflict between the hard-liners within Regnes and Duanmu Huai?

Both sides are racial supremacists, the hard-liners believe that the Dragon Race should naturally dominate everything, while Duanmu Huai wouldn’t allow any race to dare to threaten humans.

Just thinking about such a terrifying scene of a clash made Greiya shudder. She certainly didn’t believe that the dragons of Regnes would have the power to confront Duanmu Huai’s warship. But Greiya also knew, the dragons of Regnes would never accept submission to humans.

And now, all Greiya could do was…

“… Sir Knight, let’s not look for the Greybeards anymore.”

“Oh?”

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai paused for a moment.

“You’re not planning to learn the Dragon Roar anymore?”

“……… Yes.”

Greiya nodded. At first, she wanted to learn Dragon Roar because it was a lost culture. If she could acquire Dragon Roar and bring it back to her country, it would undoubtedly be very beneficial for the Dragon Race.

But after pondering for an entire day, Greiya realized that this was a double-edged sword. The great power of Dragon Roar is both a blessing and a curse for the Dragon Race. If the hardliners of the Dragon Race gained such power, they would surely want to attack humans again.

Therefore, the final decision Greiya chose was……… to maintain the status quo.

As long as she didn’t actively inherit Dragon Roar, it wouldn’t be spread to other members of the Dragon Race. Rather than learning it and not using it, Greiya chose not to learn at all.

“Is it okay? The Greybeards beckoned you, didn’t they?”

“I’ve decided against it.”

Greiya shook her head.

“Even though I don’t know why the Greybeards wanted to see me, I know that Dragon Roar isn’t a good thing for today’s Regnes.”

“So, you won’t learn Dragon Roar?”

“……… Yes.”

“Alright.”

Hearing Greiya’s reply, Duanmu Huai gave no commend or comment, merely shrugging his shoulders.

“Since you’re not going, then you’d better just come with me.”

“Is Sir Knight intending to go to… the Thalmer prison?”

“Yes.”

Upon saying this, Duanmu Huai’s face suddenly darkened.

Even though Greiya had made her decision, he still wanted her to personally experience how the Judges dealt with the Alien Race who dared to threaten humans.

Firstly, it was an announcement.

Night descended.

Amid the pitch-black night sky, the Night Raven Black Star quietly floated and underneath it was a square stone castle, a North Tower Fortress where the Thalmer Elves kept their rebel army and prisoners. It was late, but the bustling castle filled with Thalmer soldiers holding torches and patrolling was still in view. It was obvious that the location was heavily guarded and inaccessible to ordinary people.

Of course, that applies to ordinary people.

“We only have one mission.”

Standing in the ship’s cabin, Duanmu Huai looked at the Night Guard in the black power armor. A cold light flashed in his eyes.

“Kill all Aliens except humans, not sparing a single one. This is the Judges’ final verdict for the Aliens!”

“Is it okay, Sir Knight?”

Greiya, standing next to Duanmu Huai, looked at him uneasily.

“If this is discovered by someone, then………”

“Don’t worry, Greiya, no one will know.”

Duanmu Huai looked at Greiya, letting out a chuckle.

“As long as all those who know are killed, no one will know that we came………”

Saying this, Duanmu Huai signaled the Night Guard in front of him.

“Charge!!”

With Duanmu Huai’s order, several smoke launchers were shot from the Night Raven Black Star and landed inside the North Tower Fortress below. Following that, hypnotic gas, resembling dense fog, was sprayed out, instantly covering the entire castle. Seeing this, Duanmu Huai put his helmet on and jumped down!

“Boom!!!”

The black Shinigami descended from the sky, heavily hitting the fortress wall. The originally solid wall that had been able to withstand a stone-throwing machine collapsed under this hit. Following that, the other Night Guards also landed in the surrounding area of the castle.

At this moment, no one in the castle was awake, whether they were prisoners or Thalmer soldiers who guarded them, all had fallen into a deep sleep.

“Very well.”

Looking at the Thalmer soldiers who had fallen into a deep sleep, Duanmu Huai showed a violent smile.

“Act now.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

He then coldly issued an order.
