"I won’t get involved."

Hearing that Viktor actually wanted to drag her into confronting the Black Wing Nest, Frost Elf Queen Denise’s expression changed, and she coldly refused.

Having seen the Black Dragon Lord with her own eyes, she naturally knew that the Black Dragon Lord wasn’t an ordinary Legendary Black Dragon.

When Viktor heard Denise’s decisive refusal, his expression turned unpleasant, and he silently cursed the Frost Elf as a bitch. Previously, they were allies supporting each other on a unified front; now, when the barbarians faced a strong enemy, she was retreating without hesitation.

Denise glanced at the Barbarian King’s displeased expression, slightly furrowing her brow, but still offered a reminder, "For the sake of being allies, I advise you not to confront the Black Wing Nest. Their strength... is formidable.

If a real fight breaks out, you might end up... mutually destructive."

Although she said "mutually destructive," in Denise’s intuition, she felt that if a real fight started, the Barbarian Royal Court’s fate would likely be tragic.

She couldn’t help but recall last year when visiting the Black Dragon Lord, witnessing the robust, elite, and orderly Beloved Warriors in that Monster City.

Of course, the main reason was that the Black Dragon Lord had given Denise an overwhelming sense of oppression, enhancing her sense of awe for the Black Wing Nest.

Although Viktor’s strength wasn’t weak, even stronger than hers, compared to the mysterious Black Dragon Lord, Denise still felt there was a gap.

"Mutually destructive?" A trace of displeasure flashed deep in the Barbarian King’s eyes.

This feeling of being looked down upon by a peer-level strong figure, especially by a beautiful woman he admired, left Viktor less than pleased despite his strong mentality.

Though rationally, he felt Denise’s words were somewhat objective.

"Alright, if you don’t want to get involved, fine. But Denise, you must lend me the Blood-Light Dragon-Hunting Crossbow; that’s the bottom line," Viktor’s tone shifted.

He had no real hope of persuading the Frost Elves to join this war, his true aim was to acquire the Blood-Light Dragon-Hunting Crossbow.

The Blood-Light Dragon-Hunting Crossbow, a Legendary Level item, a weapon specialized against the Dragon Race, was a Legendary weapon noted in the Tal Plane for over ten thousand years, and just recorded dragon slays numbering over fifty, including two Legendary Giant Dragons.

This weapon was crafted by a human weapon master ten thousand years ago, and for unknown reasons, it disappeared into the stream of history. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

It was unexpected that a few years ago, this weapon was brought out by the Frost Elf Queen and used in killing the Legendary White Dragon King Karon in cooperation with the Barbarian King.

The Frost Elf Queen led her tribe migrating from north to south primarily because of the unchangeable situation of the north being dominated by the Crimson Nest, and one main reason was the Blood-Light Dragon-Hunting Crossbow’s emergence, which posed a threat to the Giant Dragons of the Crimson Nest. If Denise didn’t leave, she would quickly become the target of many Giant Dragons.

Seeing the Barbarian King’s imposing and somewhat pressuring demeanor, Denise felt uncomfortable in her heart. She shook her head, refusing again,

"No lending; now everyone knows the Blood-Light Dragon-Hunting Crossbow belongs to my Frost Elf Race. If I lend it to you, what difference does it make from the Frost Elves joining the war?"

"Denise, we are allies," Viktor said, somewhat annoyed.

"If you insist on that, then our alliance is over," Denise responded, now also annoyed.

What is in this barbarian’s head?

Along with the Frost Elf Queen’s cold snort, the light and shadow dissipated.

Viktor slammed his fist heavily on the armrest of the throne, his expression raging,

"Denise, I’ll make you regret this! You bitch, I’ve pursued you for hundreds of years, spent countless resources, even during the great retreat priority was given to your Frost Elf Race’s evacuation first, which resulted in at least millions of barbarians stuck unable to retreat from the north, and you now betray me for an Evil Dragon!!"

Not only that, but even in killing the Legendary White Dragon Karon, Viktor acted as bait to enable Denise’s success in killing, and afterward, the White Dragon’s body was taken by Denise.

Also, a century ago, Viktor specifically sought the Swamp Giant Clam, spending half a year to successfully hunt it, then gifting the obtained Colorful Clam Pearl to Denise, simply because the pearl had properties enhancing beauty.

The value of this Colorful Clam Pearl to females is beyond monetary measure.

After venting his fury, Viktor took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.

The most urgent issue now is handling the inevitable war with the Black Wing Nest.

"Beastman King Krell got slapped to death by the Mother of Deep Red during that war, at that time she seemed to only take one Legendary Item from the corpse... and I remember the Beastman Kingdom had two heirloom Legendary Items, one being armor, the other a Greatsword... if the armor was taken by the Mother of Deep Red, then the Greatsword..." Viktor pondered, feeling eager.

This matter had been noted in his mind since that day, but continuous migrations and escapes had left him no time to think deeply.

"Besides Beastman King Krell, only the Red Blade Clan has a Beastman Sword Saint reaching Legendary Tier One; by the Beastmen’s inheritance system, that Greatsword should be with that Beastman Sword Saint." Viktor squinted.

Although he was also proficient with swords, the Barbarian Royal Court was always poor, with very few top-level equipment. Only the few strongest generals and himself owned full sets of top-level equipment.
