Chapter 152: 150 Capturing Research_l

Translator: 549690339

By the time Otto reached the Sulfur Mountains, the war between Lait and Mido was reaching its conclusion.

Both sides were neighboring countries, with similar geography and cultures.

It was said that many years ago, Lait, Mido, and Dilant were once part of the same country, but were forcibly divided into three smaller nations after losing a war against Farrand.

So, based on appearance, the Lait and Mido people looked quite similar.

However, when it came to weaponry and equipment, the two sides had stark differences.

One side wore ragged clothes, the other side was well-equipped.

Although both sides favored wearing thick leather clothing, the equipment of the Mido people was not only newer but also more robust compared to the worn-out ones of the Lait people.

Despite this, the Mido people were completely outmatched by the Lait people.

Hidden in the clouds, Otto happened to witness the end of this battle, as the ragged Lait people ruthlessly killed all the Mido soldiers, not leaving anyone alive.

Subsequently, they started fighting among themselves for the well-preserved weapons and equipment.

Their combat style was brutal and barbaric, more akin to a terrifying horde of gnolls than a human army.

There was no semblance of order in their tactics, just all-out aggression.

Even so, the well-organized, shield-bearing Mido people were overwhelmed almost instantly.

What caught Otto’s attention was the sight of a bare-chested, Lait strongman wielding a long battle ax, breathing out a thunderstorm.

Yes, it was like a Lightning Breath.

Although its power seemed much weaker, Otto believed he was not mistaken — that was Lightning Breath.

“Damn, could this guy be a Dragonman?”

Although Otto considered this possibility, the man looked like a typical Lait person with no apparent characteristics of a Dragonborn.

As Otto pondered this, the Lait people began to thoroughly clean up the battlefield.

Otto flew to the Sulphur Mountains, where the Lait people seemed to have little interest.

As night fell, they set up camp, lit fires, and cooked.

Otto called for some Hawkmen, and, at the request of the Silver Dragon, they stealthily flew towards the Lait camp under the cover of darkness.

In a short while, the Hawkmen girls captured a Lait soldier for Otto.

The man was relieving himself outside the camp, only to be knocked out by the sudden attack from the Hawkmen and brought to the Sulphur Mountains before he could even finish and clean himself.

From the air, Otto had seen that even ordinary Lait soldiers with shields and short swords were capable of wreaking havoc on their foes.

At first glance, their combat abilities seemed to be close to the Quilboar, if not somewhat stronger.

Moreover, the Lait people fought almost like typical monsters, relying solely on physical strength and instincts.

In terms of ordinary human physical conditions, this was worth considering.

Otto stared at the bearded Lait man for a long time without noticing anything special.

Soon after, the Hawkmen girls caught two more unconscious Lait soldiers.

Suddenly, there was a commotion coming from the Lait camp’s direction, followed by several injured Hawkmen fleeing back to the Sulphur Mountains at high speed.

It seemed their movements had been discovered.

After instructing the Chimeras and Hawkmen on the Sulphur Mountains to carefully monitor the Lait people’s actions, Otto brought the Hawkmen and the three captured Lait soldiers back to the Land of the Soaring Dragon.

Soon after, Sofia and Moray came to join them.

Upon meeting, Otto noticed that Moray’s expression was off; the demonic face on the ruby grew resentful when looking at him.

As Otto was puzzled, Sofia casually said, “I’ve already made a Blood Covenant with him.”

Well, so that was it then.

Otto shrugged, not putting much thought into it.

He then pointed to the three unconscious Lait captives and said, “I feel that these Lait people are a bit special. See if you can find anything unusual about them.”

At the same time, Otto also shared the situation he observed on the battlefield.

The ferocity of the Lait people, as neighbors, was quite memorable.

Despite being full of resentment, Moray was still curious and drifted over to the captives.

Soon, he exclaimed in surprise, “I don’t think these guys even look like pure humans anymore… ‘

Sofia’s eyes sparkled as she said, “I detected faint magic reactions on them. They’re not like ordinary humanoid creatures; they remind me of the sensation

I got from Mega Fatty…”

“You mean they might be Dragonborn?”

Moray, slightly surprised, stabbed the end of the Soul Eater Wand into the hand of a Lait man, drawing blood.

Sensing a hint of Blue Dragon heritage in the blood, Moray hesitated, “It seems to have some Blue Dragon bloodline in it… ‘

He then used the same method to test the blood of the other two Lait captives, eventually frowning and said, “Another Blue Dragon bloodline, and one that seems to be related to White Dragon…”

Hearing this, Otto asked, “So, are the Lait people descendants of the Color Dragons? Are they actually Dragon people?”

“No way… ‘

Moray gave Otto a disdainful look and continued, “Haven’t we captured and studied a few Lait captives before? Sofia and I have conducted numerous research on them.

Therefore, I can confidently say that whether it’s their physical body or soul, the Lait people are undoubtedly pure humans!”

He then glanced at the three new captives before saying, “Considering their bloodline and the signs you mentioned, I think the new Lait king may have discovered a way to turn their army into pseudo-Dragonborn.”

“Pseudo-Dragonborn?”

“Yes, because this level of Dragonization can at best make these Lait people stronger.”

After giving it some thought, Moray continued, “They may also become more ferocious, after all, they’re using the bloodlines of evil dragons…

Moray’s observations seemed to align with what Otto saw on the battlefield.

Then, Sofia pulled out a small clay pot from the pocket of an unconscious Lait man’s shirt.

Considering the quality of this Lait soldier’s equipment, he was likely a squad leader or the like.

Based on what Otto had observed from the air, the Lait soldiers at this level were incredibly fierce.

According to the feedback from the Hawkmen, this man behaved no differently from an ordinary Lait person when relieving himself..
