In addition to Leon, Isha, and Claudia, three more candidates arrived one after another.

All three were Dragon Kings of their respective clans. Judging by appearance, they were even older than Claudia—definitely part of the older generation of dragons.

Leon quickly tried to recall whether he’d ever interacted with them before, but soon confirmed: nope. Not even during his time in the Azure Dragon Army had he crossed paths with their clans.

"Looks like there are still plenty of low-profile heavyweights among dragonkind," Leon muttered softly.

After exchanging polite nods with the three Dragon Kings, Isha lowered her voice to speak to Leon as well.

"That’s right. These clans tend to rank upper-middle in combat strength, but they also possess ample resources and territory.
Because of that, whether it’s civil war or external conflict, you rarely see them on the frontlines."

"Red Dragon Queen is correct," Claudia chimed in quietly.
