Weakest Beast Tamer Gets All SSS Dragons novel Chapter 1307

Chapter 1307: Chapter 1307 - Taming the Old World - Light Dragons - 11

Up in the northern front, Selphira’s strategy was dictating the pace of the siege.

The battlefield dynamics here played out exactly as they had anticipated. The Vanguard’s massive combined assault continuously damaged the ethereal Light Dragon, and the guardian effortlessly mended those wounds.

It was a grinding stalemate of attrition with no clear end in sight.

Selphira’s sub-zero environmental control was absolutely vital. Her localized winter stripped away the beast’s thermal camouflage and shattered its illusions, providing the human and even mutant artillery with a clear, solid target.

However, exposing the dragon was not the same as killing it. Even with its tricks neutralized, the creature’s raw restorative power remained a monstrous hurdle.

For the time being, the human forces and the corrupted horde were not engaging one another.

The Vanguard artillery did not redirect fire toward the mutant lines, and the beasts did not look up to shoot at the human formations. Both armies focused entirely on whittling down the guardian, locked in an unspoken, highly pragmatic truce of convenience. Yet, Selphira was fully aware that this fragile equilibrium could shatter at any given second.

The Witch’s forces could pivot and launch an offensive the moment the calculus shifted in their favor.

Selphira weighed her two immediate options.

The first option was to maintain the current tempo: allow the mutant horde to continue pouring their ether into the dragon, and even keep passively assisting them by keeping the target exposed.

This cooperative siege would significantly accelerate the guardian’s downfall. With two strong armies hammering the beast simultaneously, they could likely secure the kill before Selthia’s reinforcements from the south arrived. According to Arturo’s updated logistics, those six marching Diamonds were still roughly three and a half hours away from this peak. A rapid execution would allow the Vanguard to snatch the prize and retreat before the board became unmanageable.

The second option was to pivot her entire battalion and strike the mutant army right now.

But that aggressive play carried an enormous risk... If the corrupted horde suddenly found itself attacked on the mountain again, Selthia might decide to cut her losses in the north entirely. She could order her surviving forces to abandon the guardian and march straight down toward the capital, throwing their weight against the perimeter Arturo was currently struggling to hold.

Furthermore, Selthia had stationed six towering Diamond mutants on this front. Selphira honestly did not know if the Vanguard could win a direct clash against six titans without Ren’s burst damage or Liora’s fire, nor did she know how much energy invested or many casualties they would suffer trying.

Therefore, for the immediate present, maintaining the relatively peaceful, cooperative siege was the most prudent course of action.

Selphira ordered her troops to keep conserving their mana. They played their designated role, launching flashy, highly visible barrages to maintain pressure and keep the dragon’s illusions suppressed, but they held back their deepest reserves. They did not commit their full output to a battle whose ending was still clouded in uncertainty.

It was the quiet prudence of four hundred years of warfare. Never spend what you cannot afford to replace until the perfect moment arrives.

The northern front remained paused. It was tense, coiled like a spring, yet stable.
