Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1302

Chapter 1302: Chapter 1302 - Taming the Old World - Light Dragons - 6

A messenger bird descended from the southern sky shortly after the vanguard arrived at the guardian’s mountain, dropping Ren’s dispatch straight into Arturo’s hands.

The parchment carried a blunt warning... The battle was about to get complicated.

Selthia had redirected her two hundred surviving southern units, along with her newly minted Diamond titans, toward the north. Their marching route would bring them directly to the city walls and many if not all may stay to siege them.

Ren’s orders were concise: hold the line.

In the best-case scenario, he would finish his hunt and circle back to reinforce the capital before the marching horde even arrived. In the worst-case scenario, at least two of the girls, flanked by Sirius and Liu, would drop in shortly after the siege began. Because the strike team was traveling by air, their return trip would take less than one hour.

If Ren’s fiery trap worked as intended, the Light Dragon would not stall them for long.

Arturo read the brief, gave a curt nod, and immediately began running the numbers.

Calculating brutal odds like these was what he did best.

The immediate situation outside the walls was entirely manageable. Selthia had only committed a hundred Platinum beasts and a single Diamond mutant to the capital’s perimeter. Furthermore, ever since Ren vanished into the southern sky, the corruption had only launched half-hearted probing strikes.

The attacks lacked genuine aggression... They felt highly strategic, as if the Witch were merely testing the waters.

She was using the capital’s reinforced walls as a testing ground for her new Diamond asset, carefully measuring its baseline output against a concentrated human defense before committing to a larger offensive.

Arturo studied these brief skirmishes with the sharp, unblinking focus of a chess grandmaster analyzing a rival’s opening moves.

The tactical consensus among the defending commanders was perfectly clear. A veteran of Julius or Taro’s caliber possessed the raw defensive output to contain the towering Diamond mutant. Containment, however, was a far cry from a clean kill.

Actually executing a single Diamond required the synchronized effort of at least two elite commanders pushing their double fusions to the breaking point. A Diamond was not a standard Platinum that could be overwhelmed by coordinated Golden tamers’ numbers; it was a walking mountain with a terrifying regenerative factor that could not be damaged by less than high platinum level mana and demanded an equally massive response as its size.

That tactical reality was a double-edged sword.

On one hand, dealing with just one Diamond and a hundred Platinums was a sustainable chore. Julius could easily anchor the giant, while Taro and Yang managed the Platinum packs with the support of thousands of Gold-tier defenders. Arturo could oversee the grid and keep the line stable. It was an uncomfortable standoff, yet nobody was in danger of breaking.

The real nightmare was scheduled to arrive in roughly two hours.
