Reincarnated As A Demonic Dragon, I Formed A Pact With A Beautiful Female Lord

80 The Hidden Mole
On a plain very far from Su Wan’s territory, an Overlord stood beside his Territory Core, checking the data of his troops with wide eyes.

“What’s going on?!” he exclaimed. “How did so many of my troops disappear so suddenly?”

The stats had decreased by more than a thousand. The troops hadn’t even died. They had disappeared into thin air!

If they were dead, he would have been able to revive them. Besides, the death of the troops wouldn’t have changed the stats of the population in his territory.

Just like in a game, if the max value of the HP bar was 10, the number would be 10/10. Even if the HP is reduced a little, the max value would remain the same. For example, it would show 7/10 if 3 HP had been reduced. It wouldn’t be 7/7. The maximum value would remain the same.

The Lord did a thorough check on his remaining troops. He saw that the Dwarven Army had reduced drastically.

[Dwarven Army troop type: 1/1]

“What’s happening?!” the Lord exclaimed.

He couldn’t believe that he had only one dwarf in the Dwarven Army. If that dwarf died, the stats would be 0/1. He would no longer have dwarves as his troop type!

He clearly remembered that he had thousands of dwarves in the Dwarven Army. Even if he only had 900 of them now, he could accept it. But the number of dwarves had reduced from 1000 to 1 in such a short time! He couldn’t believe his eyes. He even wondered if he had remembered it wrong.

“My memory can’t be so completely wrong!” said the Lord. “Something has happened to the dwarves.”

However, he couldn’t understand what exactly had happened. He recalled that he had sent them to kill the eavesdropping girl. ‘Is it that girl?’ he thought. ‘Did she do something to them?’

He had conspired with another Overlord to use the Dark Screen to sabotage the Inter-Campus Tournament. The girl had overheard them. He had sent a portion of his army to kill her.

‘That girl definitely isn’t as simple as she seems!’ thought the Lord. ‘She killed all my dwarves?!’

The Lord was furious. At this moment, a dwarf ran back from the dimensional portal.

“My Lord, I have bad news!” The dwarf panicked and told the Lord about everything that had happened.

“You’re saying that someone used wine as bait to lure the troops and kill them?” said the Lord. He fell into deep thought.

He wasn’t surprised that the troops had fallen into a trap. However, that still didn’t explain how they had disappeared from his stats.

Since they were removed from the list of troop types, he couldn’t revive them in his territory. It was as though they didn’t belong to him anymore!

The Lord frowned. He still didn’t understand how this had happened. Right at that moment, a Tauren rushed in through the dimensional portal.

“My Lord!” exclaimed the Tauren and burst into tears. “My Lord, we found the target but…”

“Speak,” said the Lord.

The Tauren explained that they had followed Shi Linglong to kill her. However, at a critical moment, she received protection from another Overlord and was hiding in her territory. He also explained how the Dwarven Army had sneaked into that territory and had been annihilated.

“Does that territory have any special technique or ability?” asked the Lord calmly.

“Wine!” said the Tauren. “They used wine to lure the dwarves in.”

The dwarf confirmed this. The only thing the Lord could make out for certain from the information he received was that there was a lot of wine in that territory. As for what had exactly happened there, he had no idea.

The dwarf explained that a Black Gold Behemoth had appeared unexpectedly and blocked the hole in the city wall. He had fled after that because he had felt a terrifying aura in the distance.

The Lord rolled his eyes at the dwarf. “You dwarves love wine more than your lives? How can you be thinking about wine even at a time like this?”

Fortunately, the Tauren had gathered some more information. “My Lord, that girl handed over some valuable things in exchange for the Lord’s protection. It is supposed to be the Dark Dragon King’s gift.”

‘The Dark Dragon King’s gift?’ thought the Lord. His breath came in gasps.

As a member of the Dark Screen, he knew that the appearance of the Dark Dragon King here in the Overlord Plane was the Dark Screen’s doing. He also knew that the Dark Dragon King had left behind some treasures. He knew this because of the Dark Screen. Other Lords had no idea about it.

But Shi Linglong had mentioned the Dark Dragon King’s treasure. The Lord was sure that she had received the Dark Dragon King’s treasure.

The Lord wished to rush over to the territory and snatch the Dark Dragon King’s gift.

“My Lord, this is a great opportunity!” said the Tauren.

The Lord thought that Shi Linglong had received the gift and then exchanged it with the other Overlord for protection.

The Lord had sent numerous troops to excavate the Dark Dragon King’s treasure.

“There aren’t many people in the territory,” said the Tauren.

The Lord had gathered very useful information from the Tauren. He wanted to take revenge for his troops, but he did not know much about the enemy. Therefore, he decided to gather some more information first.

However, there was the matter of the girl hiding in the unknown Lord’s territory. He wanted to take his troops there and silence her forever, but the disappearance of the Dwarven Army bothered him, so he decided to bear with it for now.

At the least, he now knew that the Dark Dragon King’s treasure was in that territory. He couldn’t bear it any longer.

“Gather the troops and attack!” he ordered.

Little did he know that there were two moles in his troops. One was the Tauren that Su Wan had sent to provoke the Lord. The other was a pangolin sent by another Lord. The pangolin was unremarkable and blended in among the Pangolin Army perfectly.

At this moment, the pangolin was listening quietly at the door. He sneaked away to report to his Lord.

“What?!” said the other Lord. “The Dark Dragon King’s treasure? I thought Ling Yun and I were good brothers for life. I thought we decided to do everything together! Now, he doesn’t even want to share the information with me and wants to snatch the treasure for himself?”

This Lord was one of the two Lords who Shi Linglong had overheard while passing by. They both wanted to silence Shi Linglong.

Ling Yun was in charge of the follow-up. “Let’s send out the troops. We will follow Ling Yun. I also want a share of the treasure!”
