356 Unavoidable War (2/2)

Three months had passed since Shirk's bloodline was upgraded, and some of the lizardmen had started to apply for having their bloodlines upgrades.

After having done it once, Yale's speed increased a lot the second time as he only needed five days, and after that, the times continued to decrease to the point that he could apply all the procedures to the lizardmen directly and then they just needed to wait two days to see the effects.

Some of the strongest lizardmen like the chief had undergone the upgrade with hopes of becoming Law Masters, and the chief even managed to reach the 9-star Sage in those months after his upgrade, but the last barrier wasn't easy to break.

If he had been born as a member of the Dragon Race instead than being a lizardman, he would have become a Law Master time ago with his talent and comprehension. Sadly, even after the upgrade, it wasn't that easy make it up for all the time he lost.

All the lizardmen enjoyed some increase in power after the upgrade, but the differences were more pronounced on those older and stronger.

Ronragruk was quite pleased with the increase of strength of the Dragon Race and felt that Yale's methods had been correct to win the hearts of the lizardmen.

At that time, no one paid attention on the affairs of the war that was being planned on the outside after the reports stated that there was just one Law Master in the whole army, and that wasn't something that could bother the Dragon Race. Of course, their report was incorrect due to the fake news that had been spread by the army, but they had no way to know it.

The first time when they noticed about the incoming danger was during the marriage day of Shirk and Driwna, which was a big festivity in all the tribe despite the shock their relationship produced to everyone.

At the start, Ronragruk was quite angry when someone interrupted them to give a report of the situation in the middle of the party after the marriage ceremony.

However, when he heard the report, his face changed, and the rest of Law Masters plus Yale that were with Ronragruk at that moment had the same reaction.

A huge army was nearing them at top speed, and their forces seemed enough to threaten the Dragon Race since there were several Law Masters. Moreover, it appeared that a group of Sea Monsters was nearing from the coast, so they were suffering a pincer attack, and fleeing didn't seem possible at that point.

However, the news about a Law God leading the army didn't reach their ears, or they would have rather left the world immediately instead of trying to plan the defense.

Leaving the world implied abandoning most of the members of the tribe because they couldn't survive outside the world, and although Yale's Storage Space improved and could already fit fifty people at the same time, it was still insufficient to save everyone.

Thus, except if the situation was that of a sure defeat, the strongest members wouldn't rely on fleeing from the world to survive.

”Ronragruk, I will hide the most vulnerable and talented members of your tribe. However, I will leave enough space for all my friends, you, and me. In case of defeat, we would still have chances to survive and take revenge.”

Yale wouldn't choose to flee just with his friends even in that situation because he didn't feel it correct, and the system had also reacted immediately creating a quest once Yale heard the report.

”Participate in the war and survive till the end.”

The quest was direct, and as always after the upgrade, it didn't show the rewards.

In any case, Yale planned to hide all his friend in the Storage Space and activate the random teleportation in case of being unable to win.

Then, he would just need to hide inside the Storage Space with them for some time to let the army stop trying to look for them.

Of course, he would be abandoning all the rest of members of the Dragon Race with that act, but for him, the lives of his friends were still more valuable than the lives of others or even the quests from the system.

The festivities ended for the tribe and immediately started to work on the defenses of the tribe against the incoming army. At the same time, Yale made almost all his friends hide in the Storage Space with some talented kids of the Dragon Race.

Of Yale's group, the only ones who remained outside were Yale, Sebe, Swordmad, Lar, and Nurvey. Even Shirk had decided to hide together with his wife despite being at the Elder Rank.

Both had just married, and Yale didn't want that the couple was broken apart by the war, especially since both of them were the type of people who would sacrifice for others.

Nurvey had become a Grandmaster in the previous month, so even though she was still starless at that level, she was able to fly, and her support spells were far too useful in a war when defending. If that weren't the case, Yale would have forced her to hide.
