Chapter 627: Section 623 - Elementary School Legion
"Oh? What's the problem? Can you give me a hint?"
Chen Fei scanned the crowd that had almost completely emptied out, immediately spotting the individuals on the arrest list among them.
Not only did the manor lord think he was ready, but Xia Ji and his people thought so too.
This actually made things much easier, saving Chen Fei the trouble of searching everywhere.
The manor lord Burei straightened his back, saying in a teasing tone, "Young man, didn't you see which side has the overwhelming numbers?"
His old comrades along with the next generation of youngsters were gathered in the manor, totaling at least a thousand. There were at least three hundred combat-ready, most of them Ability Users, and ninety percent of them possessed Battle Qi, definitely a local force not to be underestimated.
After all, they were once a major smuggling team; if they couldn't fight, they would have been long gone.
Then there was Chen Fei's side; it was just him and obviously, Her Royal Highness the Princess, who couldn't fight.
Xiao Jiu?
Completely ignored!
Such little birds, if not a thousand, there were at least eight hundred in the manor; competing in numbers with these little creatures was simply futile.
"You think it's about having overwhelming numbers, huh?"
Chen Fei couldn't help but laugh.
The princess hidden inside the Mobile Base Vehicle laughed along, these guys seem to have forgotten who really rules the Morning Star Continent when it comes to sheer numbers!
"Young man, if you were smart, you'd just let me go, otherwise, even if you kill me, it's no use. You, plus the one inside the vehicle, can't beat so many of us. Moreover, standing next to me, any artillery fire like before will hit you too," said the manor lord.
Manor lord knew the previous artillery was at least 120mm caliber heavy artillery, enough to wipe out a football field with one shot; running was useless, even if the blast landed tens of meters away, injury was inevitable.
This smuggler sure knew a lot!
Chen Fei scratched his chin, saying somewhat puzzled, "I think on my side, we actually have the larger numbers!"
He just couldn't understand where the other side's confidence came from.
"Huh? This kid says he has more people on his side! Hahaha!"
Manor lord Burei, unable to contain his own pride, burst into roaring laughter.
If the other side was smart, they would have launched artillery at the residential area immediately to scatter the gathering, just a few shells would have devastated the people in the manor, rather than waiting until now, letting the artillery lose its purpose altogether.
The sky suddenly darkened, followed by a huge dull thud; the soundwave was closely followed by a severe trembling of the ground that made many people uncontrollably jerk and even several fell flat on their bottoms.
What happened?
As they were searching for the source of the anomaly, a voice filled with malice came through.
"Dragon-Breeding Elementary School, second grade class one, Thukadi!"
Then another thud and impact of the same size followed.
Then came a frantic voice.
"Thukadi, you jumped the gun! Dragon-Breeding Elementary School, second grade class one, Benali!"
Boom!
"Dragon-Breeding Elementary School, fifth grade class two, Cobalt Luo!"
Boom!
"Dragon-Breeding Elementary School, fourth grade class three, Taidi!"
Boom!
"Dragon-Breeding Elementary School, sixth grade class one, Meixin!"
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom…
Huge, menacing forms rained from the sky, heavily smashing onto the ground, wing blades crossed and sparks flew, ringing with a piercing clang.
"Dragon Breeding High School, third grade class one, Yilan!"
The eldest sister was the final act.
Gulp, someone unable to endure the overwhelming murderous aura, eyes rolled back, and fainted.
"Eh?"
The princess inside the Mobile Base Vehicle rushed to the windshield and shockingly found...
The Metallic young dragons from the Dragon-Breeding Elementary School had all played truant!!!
One could count every single one of them, they had all arrived here, staring covetously at these unfortunate people.
If just counting numbers, the young dragons present were almost as many as the Human Race folks present.
In the manor lord's smuggling team were already intelligent Magical Beasts, but none had shown up; partly because the number of people deployed initially was big enough, and partly because without a forced contract, intelligent Magical Beasts generally do not interfere actively in the internal disputes of other Intelligent Species.
Especially now, with overwhelming dragons, the Magical Beasts living in the manor were even less likely to take the lead.
"This, this..."
Manor lord Burei was a bit dumbfounded.
Where did all these Metallic Dragons come from, why were they all elementary students, and what were they doing in his manor?
He acted, he was capable, he challenged elementary students, was laid down by elementary students, was made to cry by elementary students... embarrassing!
"Now, it seems I have more numbers on my side than you do!"
Chen Fei returned the earlier mockery of his adversary in full measure, leaving nothing behind.
It's only fair to say that these guys had commendable courage.
Yilan's loyal dog, no, dragon's leg, Cobalt Luo, let out a low roar.
"Can we kill these guys now?"
The sharp Tail Spear slowly rotated, and a mere sweep into the crowd would instantly unleash a scene of blood and flying flesh, severed limbs, and rolling heads everywhere.
The Metallic Dragon clan had once been known as the Divine Weapon, born for slaughter, with every part of their anatomy designed to kill other creatures.
Even though the Metallic Dragons had all been adopted by the Slan Dynasty, no one doubted the terrifying nature of their violent outbreaks.
"Not just yet!"
Chen Fei kicked aside a manor lord who had outlived his usefulness and looked towards the shivering crowd, giving them a sincere and kind smile as he said, "I am a law-abiding citizen, a good person!"
He forgot, he was indeed a citizen, but not of Cangqiong Star. Instead, he was a citizen of the First Sovereign of Blue Star; this citizen is not that citizen.
In the Slan Dynasty of Cangqiong Star, to become a citizen one must make certain social contributions or achieve some sort of accomplishment.
If we were to be precise, Chen Fei's social status could only be equated to that of the commoner class of the Slan Dynasty.
Clang, clang... clang, clang...
Various weapons hit the ground.
The people in the manor were so frightened that they dropped everything in their hands, not daring to believe a single word.
I call bs, who are you fooling!
He who touches vermilion will be stained red, and he who touches ink will be blackened. Associating with the Dragon of Slaughter and daring to call oneself a good person?
Who gave you such nerve?
Chen Fei didn't care about their reactions at all, and continued, "Now, those whom I call by name, please step forward!"
"Hey! You little ant, it's not your place to speak! Did you ask my permission, Titanium Ted?"
A Metallic Giant Dragon challenged Chen Fei with a brash roar, true to its kind with an arrogance that would not even bow to its own parents.
The next second, three of its kin pounced on it and pinned it to the ground, beating it into a yelping mess.
Cobalt Luo, Thukadi, and Benali, none missing.
These three finally learned their lesson, or rather, were beaten into learning it!
"You! All of you listen to Chen Fei, and anyone who dares not to, I will twist off their heads!"
The big sister of the young dragons, a female Metallic Giant Dragon named Yilan, frightened everyone, dragons and humans alike, into nodding unanimously.
Smart, beautiful, highly educated, and strong, Yilan held unparalleled prestige among these young dragons. If she were on Blue Star, she would absolutely be a big boss with unmatched authority.
"Heh, don't mind the little mishap just now!"
Chen Fei ignored the Omega Dragon's behavior. At the moment, it was being held by its tail, stepped on its head, dragged by its wing, its dragon scales scratched and even peeled off, its screams changing pitch.
Comparatively, the Dragon of Slaughter was much more merciful towards other Intelligent Species.
These stupid dragons' huge heads really have no brains, and this is neither a metaphor nor a description—it's a statement without any ornamental language.
"Mr. Xia Ji, please step forward!"
Chen Fei called to Xia Ji, who was in the crowd considering whether to sneak in a sucker punch (Xia Ji: We're not close).
"Next, Moker, if you want to use any Magic, please hurry up and just go ahead!"
Chen Fei called another name.
I once again thank Manor Lord Burei for providing a very complete list.
Fire System Mage Moker's expression turned ugly. He indeed wanted to release a powerful Spell as a last-ditch effort, but the enemy's remark took the wind out of his sails, especially with the Evil Dragons around him exerting an immense invisible pressure.
"Butler Huoke, please step forward!"
Chen Fei was as polite as possible, respecting the fact that the other party, after all, was a butler of the nobility in the upper echelons of the Slan Dynasty.
"No, I can't be captured; this has nothing to do with me. I'm just a minor figure; let me go!"
Butler Huoke lost all reason and darted out of the crowd, trying to run off.
As he passed by a Metallic Giant Dragon, its tail, gun-like, casually lifted and then fell.
"Eh..."
The voice of astonishment at the last moment cut off abruptly, probably still puzzled at his death about how he could lose his life so nonchalantly.
Thud...
"Well, indeed he was a minor figure!"
Chen Fei glanced at the crushed remains of Mr. Butler, merely lifting his eyelids, completely indifferent. His visual interface crossed out Butler Huoke's name, remarking: Deceased.
The murdering Dragon's Tail swept across the ground a few times, a bloody blur.
Including Manor Lord Burei, everyone present turned pale and looked incredibly grim.
While most of them were smugglers, accustomed to life-and-death violence or killer psychopaths, the new generation born in the manor had never even seen blood. They only bluffed without having ever experienced such terrifying scenes firsthand.
The giant dragons, like crushing bugs with their tails to end a life, treated it as an insignificant act, but it sent shivers down the spines of the empathetic manor residents.
When they looked at Chen Fei again, they saw him as some demon from hell, their calves involuntarily quivering.
