Chapter 622 - 621 – Ice Dragon Clan’s Secret.

<<Nutshell version of the information that Thanatos provided me with.>>

<<The dragon queen wanted to force her entire clan to change and become the double attribute dragons, the ice and necro elemental dragons.>>

<<Many dragons liked that, since it meant power.>>

<<But at the same time, many dragons opposed the whole idea, stating that they are proud ice dragons.>>

<<They were especially pissed off since the queen wanted to give them necro attribute, which the dragon race as a whole view as something disgusting element.>>

<<In short, two factions were formed.>>

<<One who wanted more power (Evolution Faction), while the other one wanted to remain pure (Purity Faction).>>

<<The faction that wanted more power, the queen's faction (Evolution faction) had advantage thanks to the ruler of the clan, A.K.A queen as well as some of her elite warriors.>>

<<Their vision was being pushed forward… Until the queen and some of her elite warriors had all disappeared.>>

<<The evolution faction tried to hide that fact, but that only backfired huge time because when the purity faction found out about it, a massive scandal broke out.>>

<<The pressure and any advantage the evolution faction had was gone.>>

<<And now, the two factions are butting their heads against each other.>>

<<The leader of the evolution faction is the second princess of the dragon clan.>>

<<While the first princess is supporting purity faction.>>

<<Right now with the queen fate being still unknown, the purity faction wants to straight up dethrone the queen, who they don't even know she is dead in the first place, and place the first princess as the new queen, who will then declare that the previous queen's order to be canceled.>>

<<Pretty much, things are looking rough.>>

<<Neither sides are backing down and it ain't just battle of just doing it or not, but instead also a battle for the throne… So yeah… Huh.>>

<<Isn't this extremely beneficial for us?>>

<<If they straight up fighting each other now, we would easily attack their nest and swiftly wiped out without much problem.>>

<<…Still, we better prepare properly.>>

<<We still don't know HOW these ice dragons became double attribute.>>

<<Did they archived this on their own?>>

<<Or did somebody helped?>>

<<For example, another "neutral" dragon clan?>>

<<We don't want to end up in situation where we would go and do our whole invasion, only to then few moments later encounter another yet another dragon clan.>>

<<…>>

<<Still, the purity faction is helping us out.>>

<<I was extremely worried about the whole ice dragon clan being necromancers, since they could create overwhelming army of undeads… But now?>>

<<THEY ARE EASY TARGETS!>>

<<As soon as Thanatos finish her investigation, we will move out.>>

[Meanwhile: Thanatos]

"…"

(I know I've said that the civil war was unavoidable… But things are really taking turn for the worse with each passing moment.) – thought Thanatos as she saw from afar as a small group of dragons were brawling it out… But not in lethal way, but still, raising their claws.

(These guys really can't control themselves, huh?)

(Phantasia said that the elite dragons and the dragon queen herself were extremely stupid… And from what I'm seeing here, it wasn't just them.)

(Their entire clan is straight up stupid!) – thought Thanatos as one of the dragons straight up slashed the other dragon with their claws, making them bleed.

"!?"

"THE FUCK IS YOUR PROBLEM?!" – shouted the injured dragon as he then swung his claw at the attacker, wounding him.

"…"

(WOW! THIS IS QUICKLY TURNING BLOODY!) – thought Thanatos as both sides were ready to straight up murder each other, until two higher ranking dragons appeared and stopped the fight, making the group break off.

"…"

(Well, they stopped it… But the tension is rising way quickly than I've thought.)

(Maybe before we launch our invasion this clan may end up being destroyed by their own clan members?)

(…Still, I need to find out of there are any other dragon clans' presence here.) – thought Thanatos as she was exploring nest, managing to avoid the security which was in shambles right now.

(I guess they are more focused on stopping the fights than watching out for intruders.)

(…Okay. Real fucking question. If they weren't focused on stopping fights, would the civil war already occurred?)

(But wouldn't that be way too fucking fast?)

(Jezus Fucking Christ. What is seriously wrong with these dragons?) – thought Thanatos as she started seeing more double attribute dragons… Before something resembling extremely massive beautiful white castle.

(From the information I have, the main nests of the dragon clans always have beyond massive castles where the clan's royal family lives in.)

(Some about old tradition and what not.) – thought Thanatos as she approached the castle, noticing several detection traps, which she managed to not only avoid, but also stay completely hidden from the castle guards' detection skills, thanks to her stealth that was too strong to be detected.

(Huh. I'm already inside?)

(Jezus. I'm finding these dragons more and more pathetic by a minute.)

(Anyway, this place is really freaking massive!)

(I really feel as if I'm some kind of ant here… Well, not that small… Maybe like a cat or something when it comes to the size? Hm… Maybe hamster or mice would be a better comparison?) – thought Thanatos as she heard voices nearby, noticing a door that was slightly open.

"…"

(High security… Alarm would just trigger the moment I step my foot inside, huh?) – thought Thanatos as her skills warned her about danger.

(However, if I increase my stealth further, there won't be any trouble.) – thought Thanatos as she used more stealth skills to stack up her stealth status, which allowed her to go inside the room through slightly open up door, without being detected.

"What the hell do you mean there was nothing there?!" – shouted the massive ice necrotic dragon as she spread her wings.

[The Second Princess Of The Ice Dragon Clan – Assinia Agri'dion]

"Your majesty! Please understand!" – said the necro ice dragon.

"My people who are right now at the Ice Mountain and reported that there was nothing there!"

"LIES! The queen went there herself! So how could there be nothing?!" – asked furious Assinia.

"Ice Mountain special terrain only restore the terrain itself! Nothing less! Nothing more!"

"So there should had been some tracks buried in the snow! Or some kind of equipment!"

"…"

"There was nothing on the ice mountain... However, we found something else." – said the necro ice dragon.

"In the forest near the ice mountain, there were signs of battle."

"Not only that, an elven equipment was found there."

"…"

"What?" – asked the pissed off princess.

"But the elves were exterminated."

"They were… On the ice mountain… But there was nothing in the past report about forest."

"There could had been a chance a reinforcement of the spirit faction came and-"

"BULLSHIT!" – shouted Assinia instantly.

"There is no way those pathetic fucking bastards could had killed the mother! Non the less 3 of our elite warriors!"

"…"

"Spirit dragons." – said the female necro ice dragon.

"These creatures that had made sudden appearance… And we lack too much information about."

"What if… What if the spirit faction unleashed them?" – said the dragoness as all of the dragons in the room grew nervous, including the princess.

"…"

"Tch! Just find her! We need to at least confirm it if she is alive or not!" – shouted the princess as Thanatos continued ear dropping on them.

"…"

(Weird.) – thought Thanatos.

(Why are they not mentioning Phantasia?)

(I thought these guys would had known at least.)

(According to Phantasia, he found a communication device on the top of the mountain and the last dragon rushed to the very top… He must had used the communication device before being hunted down.)

(He also said that the ice dragons knew exactly who he was.)

(And yet… They don't know that Phantasia murdered the queen?!)

(This doesn't make sense.)

(…Not only that, something isn't adding up.)

(According to Phantasia, no new ice dragons came to the ice mountain and only spirit faction attacked him multiple times.)

(…)

(Ah. I see.)

(The dragon queen didn't trusted her own clan.)

(She didn't revealed where she was originally going.)

(Not only that, they don't know about divinity!)

(…No. Somebody here would need to know.)

(But who?) – thought Thanatos as she looked directly at the princess.

(…She maybe pretending about the queen.)

(She knew that if the information pops up that she really died, it will make things far more chaotic.)

(She may know about divinity!)

(AND SHE MAY KNOW ABOUT THE SECRET OF DOUBLE ATTRIBUTE DRAGONS!)

"…"

"Dismissed." – said the princess.

"?!"

"But-"

"Dismissed!" – said the pissed off princess as one of the dragons tried to argue.

"There is no point holding this meeting any longer until we find something."

"So with that said, all of you, get to work… And be careful."

"There is no telling what that idiotic sister of mine may pull." – said the princess as all of the dragons began leaving the room… Including also the princess who headed was the only one who headed specific direction.

(Now… What are you planning now?) – thought Thanatos.

(Princess?)
