"Yes, the Kingdom of Tiago is indeed the most powerful force on our subcontinent, but only on our subcontinent. There are even more powerful forces on other subcontinents. We can ask them for help."
"Seeking help from the righteous forces of other continents? That's a good idea, but the price seems a bit high."
"No matter how high the price, it's better than the fate of losing our country and becoming exiles."
"In fact, we can not only invite those righteous forces, but we can also contact the church of the dragon hunter, His Majesty Marlock, who captured the Frost Queen Claudia of the four duchies. I believe many dragon hunters will be very interested. This will become a badge of honor for them. We don't even need to pay them; we just need to spread the word. Letting the world know about the Frost Queen will be enough."
"That's a good plan. Let's proceed with it. Our kingdom will never be destroyed and will continue forever."
Under the pressure of national survival, the Northern Alliance exhibited unprecedented efficiency. The legendary humans used their channels to send news about Claudia to other subcontinents, hoping to attract the attention and interest of powerful beings.
At the same time, they also contacted the church of the dragon hunter Marlock, giving them all the information they had gathered about the Frost Queen. As expected, the church was very excited about the existence of the Frost Queen and responded quickly.

"Have you heard? A very powerful white dragon has appeared in the northern part of the Deprosen subcontinent." In a tavern exclusive to high-level professionals, powerful adventurers exchanged news. The lean bartender whispered to a man sitting at the bar drinking.
"A powerful white dragon, hahaha!" The man in leather armor, reeking of alcohol, repeated, emphasizing "powerful" with a nasal tone, then burst out laughing.
It was indeed a joke for him, a legendary dragon slayer who always set his sights on ancient red and blue dragons. He had forgotten how long it had been since he last hunted a white dragon.
The legendary dragon slayer's loud voice filled the tavern, leading to a brief silence followed by uproarious laughter.
"What kind of white dragon could be called powerful? A thousand two hundred-year-old dragon barely reaching legendary status by its bloodline hardly deserves the title of powerful."
Hearing the tavern's laughter, the bartender quietly waited for the laughter to die down before speaking again. "What if it's a dragon with divinity? A white dragon that reached legendary status in less than a hundred years? Would that qualify as powerful?"
"Do you know what you're talking about?" The legendary dragon slayer sitting at the bar, who seemed about to doze off, opened his eyes, revealing a sharp glint.
"According to my information, that white dragon's eyes are golden. You know what that means?"
"I want all the information on this dragon within a day." The renowned dragon slayer's interest was piqued.
"So, now you're interested."
"Of course, no dragon slayer can resist the lure of hunting a divine dragon. Even a white dragon with divinity would be extremely powerful, breaking racial limits and reaching legendary status within a century is proof."
"According to my intel, even if the white dragon hasn't reached legendary status yet, it won't be long. This white dragon is a magic addict and resembles a metallic dragon more than a white dragon."
"Just sell me all the information about this dragon. I can afford it."
"The information can be free, but there's something you should know. We obtained the data on this white dragon very easily, almost as if someone handed it to us. Someone is deliberately spreading news about this white dragon, so I sent people to investigate the subcontinent where the white dragon resides."
"What did you find?" asked dragon slayer Shiro Wei calmly.
"The white dragon is a sovereign dragon preparing to summon its kin and wage expansion wars against neighboring countries."
"A sovereign dragon, even more challenging." Shiro Wei was thoroughly excited, his face flushed as if he were drunk.
"I advise you to be careful. This white dragon has already conquered four human duchies. A team of seven legendary heroes went to challenge it and vanished without a trace. It's likely they have all perished."
"In that case, I'll need to find some more help."
"My advice is not to go. This dragon is too dangerous, and it might have powerful backers you can't afford to provoke."
"I'm a dragon slayer. If I stopped due to fear of powerful dragons, I would have no reason to exist." Shiro Wei's tone was calm but resolute.
...
Synapse, Central Cloud Island, Wind King's Castle.
"Muria, what are you going to do with those humans? You've kept them locked up for ten years now." A silver-haired, pointy-eared girl asked Muria in a soft voice.
"Is that elf archer putting you up to this again? Hmph!" Muria glanced at the silver moon elf, Hessel, below and snorted. "I shouldn't have released her back then."
"No, I came to ask on my own." Hessel waved her hands hurriedly and continued, "Are you going to keep them in Synapse forever? Using them as living energy sources seems too much. They're not your enemies or evil people; they were just a group of righteous legends trying to slay an evil dragon."
"But the so-called evil dragon they were trying to slay is under my command. She's not an evil dragon. Actions have consequences, Hessel. You should know that." Muria gripped the armrest of his crystal throne. "You know Claudia isn't an evil dragon. Under her rule, humans live well. Yet they attacked Claudia without knowing the truth or asking questions. I can't tolerate that. They must pay the price."
