Immediately after Matthew's return, he was told that a council meeting had recently been announced and that he would be there in an hour. The Council can be assembled if at least 10 Royal Greens or all the Leaders of the three Factions of the Royal Greens agree to convene the council while punishing those who convened in small things. At the moment, the gatherers were the most respected members of the Green race. The leader was Matthew's father, Owen. Owen was the leader of the Green goblin factions. There were three Factions in the alliance, Goblin, Orc, and Ogre. Each faction represents the interests of its race.

When Matthew arrived, he was notified that 40 family members had already gathered, which was shocking. Almost half of all family members are here, it's only a couple of times in the short history of the union.

PoV Matthew

On the way to the council hall, I met my brother Gong. He was like me in the usual goblin form, coming up to me he said

- Hey brother, how were the negotiations with the Dragonoids?

- Everything is relatively good, brother, but there are a couple of details about which I need to talk seriously with you and father.- I said seriously.

- Is it that important?- seeing that I was still serious, he said - I see, then let's talk after the meeting, I'll come to your office with my father.

- Thank you.

- No problem, although your father still considers you a boy, this is only his opinion. Don't worry too much about it. He still, sooner or later, will realize that he thinks more about the past than the present.

- Yes, I understand.- I said and continued - By the way, how's Brother Kenny doing? How's his plan going?

- Good enough, and he says that the plan will come into effect in 5 years.

- Already? He seems to be favored by luck.

- I was surprised myself, last time he said that he would be lucky if it starts in 10 years.

- I wish the plan would start faster, I already can't stand these pathetic *Empires*. They are nothing more than rats who took advantage of a chance in the great war.

- Yes, but my brother says that for greater confidence in success, we need the help of a relative of Dina. True, he himself said that her help was not necessary. It would be hard to convince other races without someone strong

- He knows that there is no need to demand too much, but I am sure our relative will accept this request. You know her.

- Of course.- Gong said and noticed that they had already approached the council hall.- Let's go in.

When they came in, they realized that almost everyone had come. 5-6 members did not come at most. The hall was a round room with a hundred seats, those who have a high position sat higher. The three faction leaders are sitting on the highest seats, they're like dividing the room into 3 parts. The leader of the orcs was called Goshu, and the leader of the ogres was called Bo. The one who was talking with a goblin in the middle of the goblin part saw us and said:

- Gong, Matthew. You have arrived on time, go to your seats and we will begin.

- Yes, Father. - after that, they sat down in our seats. Father talked with the goblin, then went upstairs and sat on his seat

…

After a short silence, all three leaders stood up and Owen began to speak.

- I express my gratitude to you for coming. Let me tell you the reason for our convocation. The reason is that a few days ago, all our elders felt the Royal Dragon Energy. This is a serious matter that should decide the fate of our race.

Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.

- Sorry Leader.- One orc raised his hand- May I ask what kind of energy it is?

-Of course, this energy is the power of one great bloodline, so great that thanks to this power, the Royal Green race was created. In the past, our ancestors were servants of this race. The great war was started precisely because of the disappearance of this mighty race. The details are not important to us, the important thing is that a representative of this race has returned. Because of this, we need to decide whether our race should return to the service of this race, or try to be independent. You must understand that this race is powerful and we are hardly capable of fighting them.

- If this race is so great, how did they lose everything?

-Do you know about the Dragonoid race? This race has only a weak connection with the dragon bloodline but already has such power. Matthew! If I'm not mistaken, then you went as a diplomat to them, right? Can you tell if they have strange phenomena?

- Y-yes. The beast mentioned in the report is a dragon.

- As I thought. Go On -Said Gosha.

-Also after one event, each dragon became stronger. They called it the purification of the bloodline. Now they have wings and tails, and they have become even more powerful. Their leader is one dragon, the country will be called the Dragon Kingdom. He also became able to transform into a Dragonoid after the events of the Dragonoid purification. He looks like he's 16 at most, and it looks like he's still in his teens.

- I wonder if we should kill him when he is weak!? -Bo said

- No, if he survives, we won't be lucky. It's better for us to prepare a murder plan, and think about how to destroy all his escape routes.- Said Gosha.

- I don't think it's a good plan. Matthew, are there any more dragons there?

- I haven't seen any other dragons yet, I have a feeling that he is the last of his kind.

- This is good news.- said Gosha - Then shouldn't we kill him? Let them perish.

- I'm against it -Owen intervened - I don't think it's a good idea to make such an enemy.

- You don't have to lie, Owen, I know that your grandfather fought on the side of the defenders in that war.- Said Gosha - It's not surprising that you hold on to the faith of your grandfather, but you better know that the past should remain in the past. We are no longer the servants of these tyrants. According to my grandfather, even they themselves had the tyranny of royalty. Is that fair? As for me, we'd better stop supporting them and try to destroy them. We're no more slaves.

- This is all stupid, have you even read about the prophecy left by the first Dragon king? There he said that he would come in an hour of need, doesn't that mean that we are in danger?

-Hmph, this *king* only cared about the Dragons, dragonoids, and some other races that also had a blood connection with them. It was too obvious. It's foolish to be loyal to those who take only their relatives as equals. We needed freedom, and their fall was our sunrise. They are the remnants of the past, we are the seeds of the future.

-I agree, - Bo said

- It will come back to us. It's better to just stop supporting. But I am against attempts at destruction. My family and my race refuse to support your plans to destroy this great race. Any objections!?

- As you wish. If you don't want it, we'll deal with it ourselves.

- Sorry- one goblin got up here. His position was relatively high, so he had the right to interrupt them.

- Hmm? What do you need, Kenny?

- Can I address the leaders of the Goshi and Bo factions?

- You can.

- I have no objections.

- *Ahem* I would like to express my opinion. Do we need to destroy them immediately? I believe that the destruction of humans is a more important goal than the destruction of the dragon. After all, their sins are unforgivable. And also, additional help won't be needless

- As expected from a baby, let me tell you something. Even a teenage dragon is more dangerous than a war survivor of hundreds of battles. This means that they are the most dangerous race.

- But do they grow so fast? The stronger you are, the more time you need.- Kenny continued - And people give their all, thereby bringing their bodies to the limit of their capabilities in just 20 years. But if I understood correctly, this race is dangerous with its strong scales and sharp claws. And how long does it take to do this? Brother Matthew, could you tell us about your impressions of this dragon?

- He is, he is wise and talks about many strange things. He answers everything as if there is still a lot that I do not know. Here is one example: I asked him if there was anyone else from his race, and he replied, "So far the last one." He talks about everything as if while he is alive these no's will become yes's.

- Hmm? Is there a possibility that he is from the royal bloodline, Goshu? -Bo asked, panicking a little

- But, it's impossible. My grandfather himself said that on his birthday the continent itself whispered his name. And that was too long ago when he was a teenager. How could it be that he was born just now?

- Think about it later, Kenny, what's on your mind.

-Well - Said Kenny a little less confidently, -I think that the destruction of human empires is better done before attempts to destroy a possible assistant in this. After that, we can concentrate on them

- Hmmm-Bo thought a little and said - Okay, I agree.

- What? Bo, are you sure?

- Yes. There's no need to rush

- Okay, I'll trust you.

- I think we have decided, will we end the council on this?

- I agree.

- No objections.

- All right, I declare the council closed, all of you are free.
