“Dragon Slayers are the common enemy of all races. Although we are weak, we can’t just leave them to do what they please and do nothing. They would kill us all sooner or later anyway, so someone must come out and stop them. Even if we can only kill one of them, we could decrease their strength by a little.” The handsome elf guy Lin En made Yue Yang speechless.
Yue Yang remembered there was a saying spoken by a German pastor, Martin Niemöller, “First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out – Because I was not a Socialist. Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

If the slaying of dragons happened in the Soaring Dragon Continent, no one would oppose the Dragon Hunters.
Most of the people would think that it was nature’s law.
Killing dragons and getting their dragon crystal was a human’s basic desire. It’s alright to kill anything, as long as they need it, they could even kill their fellow humans, let alone dragons.
Maybe there were only a few of people who thought that killing too much would disrupt the harmony of the community, destroy the environment and the ecosphere. However, they would definitely not dare to stop the Dragon Slaying Hunters.
At the most, they would only curse them in their hearts.
There would be people who protest slaying the dragons, but would there people who took action against the Dragon Hunters?
No!
Amongst humans, such a fool would definitely not exist!
That was definitely a death-seeking action. Forget about having the ability to stop them, even if they had it, they might even ignore the Dragon Hunters evil acts because they were worried that their future would be afflicted. There might even be people who joined the Dragon Hunters enthusiastically, becoming one of the Dragon Hunters to reap huge benefits.
What was the Giant Dragon’s wrath and the hundreds of beasts’ cries?
Those things, who would care about them? The deterioration of the environment and nature, who would care about them?
Yue Yang was completely shaken by the few idiots in front of him… They clearly knew that their enemy was much stronger, yet they still advanced bravely to the battle. Inside these Ox-head people, Orcs and Golden Elves’ brains, could it be that they were filled with rocks? Couldn’t they be more flexible, returning to the Warrior’s Guild first then coming back to fight with more reinforcements?
“This is throwing away your own life. Let’s give up our quest and return to the Warrior’s Guild. We can ask for reinforcements and come back here again!” Yue Yang advised.
“Good idea. You should go back, then! Bring Bao Er with you.” The handsome elf guy Lin En patted Yue Yang’s shoulders and nodded, showing his agreement.
“That was really a good idea…” The Ox-head girl Fan Lun Tie laughed coldly without any tinge of ridicule.
“I, I wouldn’t run away just before the battle. Even if I die, I won’t leave. Let this coward of a human escape, I am a brave Golden Elf, I am a noble member of the Moon God Royal Guard, I will definitely not escape in the face of danger. I, I am not afraid of death, because death would only bring me back into the Moon God’s embrace!” The big loli elf girl Bao Er’s lips was trembling. It was obvious that she was actually afraid of dying.
(Shiro: Moon God – KIV. Translating is subjective, it can be translated as Moon Goddess too. Will need to see the context in future chapters.)
“Good Bao Er, you are really a brave warrior!” The four Orc girls praised her in chorus.
“You guys are making her throw away her life. She wouldn’t be able to withstand any of the opponent’s attacks. What use could her little bow and arrow do? Make her opponents lose a strand of hair? Have you guys ever thought that the moment you failed, not only would you die, you would also miss the chance of capturing them. Bao Er and Anna’s purity might even be tarnished by the enemies. This will be the result of your reckless heroic act! You want to defeat the enemy, that I understand, but before you guys become stronger, this method is completely illogical. It’s completely wrong, I can’t accept it!” Yue Yang was furious.
