The Mighty Dragons Are Dead-Chapter 862 - 0859: Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephant (Second Update)

Chapter 862: Chapter 0859: Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephant (Second Update)

With their huge bodies and exaggeratedly large jaws, Liszt had already named this group of giant elephants in his heart—the Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants.

Seeing their rich Earth-Attribute Magic Power and the strength to flatten the ground beneath their feet, he birthed an immense desire to tame this group of Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants.

Then.

To use them for road construction!

“With this group of Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants, the construction of the five-hundred-kilometer road should not be a problem. I knew the Smoke Mission wouldn’t present an insurmountable challenge; it turns out everything was arranged by the Power of Destiny! Without this group of Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants, there wouldn’t have been the task of building a five-hundred-kilometer road!”

A sudden clarity shone in his heart as the Formless Dragon felt his thoughts, letting out a sharp “Wu Yi Ya” as it flew out from the boundary of the material realm, revealing its body, as clear and sparkling as flowing water.

...

The wild Dragon Might gushed out like a waterfall, striking against the ground where the Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants were foraging.

“Ang!”

“Ang!”

“Ang!”

The Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants, searching for food, were suddenly bombarded by such fierce Dragon Might, immediately sending out continuous cries of alarm. Then, one after another, they prostrated themselves on the ground, not daring to move.

Magical Beasts of the dragon lineage feel a clearer sense of hierarchical pressure in the presence of a Dragon.

“Bard, continue to maintain suppression over the Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants; I will personally take action to tame them!” Liszt communicated, then jumped off the dragon’s back to land amidst this group of Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants.

Elephant herds usually have a leader.

Liszt noticed that among them, there was one Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephant whose body was particularly huge, followed by many others, so he understood that this one was the herd leader.

“Ang!”

As Liszt stepped nearer, the herd leader, which was being oppressed by the Dragon Might, tried to move its body but failed to do so. The reason was simple: Liszt could also unleash Dragon Might, imposing a heavy pressure on the elephant herd’s leader. It could only let out a terrified cry of despair.

However, it wasn’t long before the elephant herd leader became perplexed when Liszt dispersed his Dragon Might. On the contrary, he took out a large portion of fruits from the Gemstone Space—food he had prepared prior to setting out.

He had anticipated this encounter with the elephant herd upon receiving the news about them, so he had prepared in advance for taming them.

The carrot and stick approach—the food was the carrot, and the stick was the power.

This was a very skilled technique for Liszt, as he had developed a set of methods for dealing with wild beasts when he first tamed Douson.

After several attempts, under the intermittent envelopment of Liszt’s Dragon Might and attracted by the tempting scent of fruits, the elephant herd leader finally understood its destiny—to submit to the human before it. To submit meant food, to resist meant punishment; the logic was clear.

“Wu Yi Ya!”

The Formless Dragon circled around the elephant herd, faithfully playing the role of a minion—compared to Fire Dragon Leo, Formless Dragon Bard’s mental will was easier to blend with, and reaching the perfect state was just around the corner. In the order of reaching completeness, Light Green Gem Dragon Ethan would come first, Bard second, and Leo last.

Fire Dragon’s baleful thoughts were always suppressing Liszt’s guidance, causing the blending to fluctuate.

Turning around to mount the elephant herd leader, he sat cross-legged on its back, throwing down a piece of fruit every now and then. In this way, he led the elephant herd, with the other Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants following behind. The procession slowly left the valley of the Xia Tribe, heading towards Flame City. With the sunset and sunrise, after a day and night of travel, they finally crossed Whirlpool River.

They encountered a patrolling Knight Squad.

“Your Highness!” The knights on guard, spotting Liszt atop the elephant, hurriedly saluted in amazement after a moment of surprise.

“Have Durt and Emily come here immediately, and bring along a few carts of fruit as well. If there are stored wild bananas in the warehouse, that would be best,” Liszt instructed.

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Moments later, Durt and Emily hurried to where the herd of elephants had stopped, bringing with them six carts of fruit—in this season, fruits were scarce, so having six carts filled was quite good.

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

“Ugh!”

The herd occasionally made noises, but overall they were under the control of Liszt.

“Your Highness, what are your instructions?” Durt, watching the herd driven by Liszt, wasn’t surprised—this incredible Dragon Knight Landlord always had unexpected achievements.

“These Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants are Intermediate Dragon Beasts I’ve just tamed. I really like their Innate Magic; if they help with road construction, the work will surely be twice as effective with half the effort,” Liszt motioned for the knights to distribute the fruit to the elephants. “However, I don’t have time to tame them myself, so the detailed taming plan will be left to you.”

Durt had a troubled look on his face: “Your Highness, I haven’t much knowledge about taming beasts…”

Emily, however, replied loudly: “Please rest assured and leave it to Emily!”

“In that case, Durt, you fully cooperate with Emily. The task of taming the Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants will be carried out by her,” Liszt was pleased with Emily’s response. A qualified follower should accept the tasks set by their lord without hesitation, rather than complain.

Durt also realized he had spoken out of turn and quickly remedied: “Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will fully cooperate with Emily to tame the herd!”

“Whatever you need, people or goods, give priority to taming the Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants!” Liszt glanced at Durt.

Then he said to Emily: “These Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants have a gentle nature; they’re actually quite easy to tame. However, it will take some effort to teach them how to cooperate in road construction. You have experience taming the Blizzard Beasts, and they should know how to work with you to tame the Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants.”

“Mm!”

“Then follow me for these two days, and I will make the elephant herd leader obey your commands.” Without Liszt’s power to suppress them, it would be difficult for a Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephant to submit to an Earth Knight.

Emily’s face lit up when she heard this: “Yes, Your Highness!” She was eager for the opportunity to work with the lord she admired most. In the heart of her youth, Liszt occupied a massive space, a mix of various emotions and adoration.

Of course, she wasn’t a girl to be overwhelmed by emotions. She had an iron will and a clear mind: “Your Highness, food is the fundamental guarantee if we are to tame the herd. The Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephants’ consumption of food certainly will be astonishing. I fear the current food reserves in Flame City may not suffice.”

“I’ll arrange that; you go ahead and bring the Blizzard Beast Squad over here. We’ll meet up in an hour.”

Liszt turned and communicated with the Formless Dragon Bard using the Dragon Heart Electrical Signal, instructing Bard to maintain the calm of the herd and prevent them from disturbing the nearby plantations.

Then he headed straight to the Flame City Mage Tower to find his brother Ach, who had returned.

“Brother.”

“Ach, I’ve located the natural node on Black Horse Island. Now, I can freely travel between Black Horse Island and Flame Island. If you can temporarily spare your Space Ring, hand it over to me for transporting supplies. Make a list of any materials you need, and I’ll bring them over.”

“Mhm.” Ach moved all the items in the Space Ring to his laboratory, then handed it back to Liszt.

Six Space Rings were on his fingers.

Liszt returned to where the elephants were; Emily had already gathered the Blizzard Beast Squad nearby. Seeing Liszt, Douson and the Eight Tiny Ones wagged their tails; they had not forgotten their former master.

“Woof!”

“Woof!”

“Douson, come here!” Liszt called with a smile, and Douson immediately rushed over, affectionately rubbing its head against Liszt’s pants.

It was huge in size, like a small elephant, yet it behaved as gently as a lap dog.

After patting Douson’s big head, Liszt then spoke seriously: “Emily, the task of taming the Shovel-Tusked Giant Elephant herd starts now.”
