The Crocodile was a person who could really hold his nerve.
After all... if he remembered correctly, there should have been a Half-Beast Tribe nearby.
However, the tribe had now disappeared, and no matter how you looked at it, it was definitely related to the Black Dragon!
And a Black Dragon that could force a Half-Beast Tribe to migrate... though it was not yet an adult, its strength was probably quite terrifying.
Thus, after discovering the Black Dragon's lair, the Crocodile did not act rashly. Instead, he continued to order his men to observe in secret, record the Black Dragon's patterns of activity, and led the main group to lay low.
Even to the point that, worrying about exposing their tracks, he forbade his men from hunting and only allowed them to eat the dry food they had brought.
The Crocodile planned to choose the right moment to stealthily attack the castle when the Black Dragon was not home!
Then, he would make a clean getaway!
