In the Old Dragon Monarch's grand scheme, the first wave of the True Dragon Branch sent to Jiangdong were essentially cannon fodder. Their only value was to establish a foothold.
He had also anticipated that the Dao Court would suppress the True Dragon Race, but he had no intention of intervening. He simply bided his time. When he judged the suppression had run its course, he sent a message, planning to give his dear grandson, Du Huan, a motivational boost to keep him fighting for the True Dragon Race.
However, the situation was not quite what he had imagined.
"Grandfather!"
Before the Dragon Monarch could speak, Lü Yang dropped to his knees. With tears streaming down his face, he cried out, "Du Huan hasn't let you down, Grandfather! Du Huan has succeeded!"
'...Huh?'
For a moment, the Dragon Monarch was at a loss, especially after seeing the title of a Third-Grade Official Position—Deputy Commander of the All Heaven Department—hovering above Lü Yang's head.
