Black Dragon Code

"Oh hoo."

Luna finds Caesar under a canopy of green leaves.

Surrounded by big green firs and old elm trees, the black dragon lay half-lying, with its neck flat on the ground, scratching the ground with its sharp claws, writing indecipherable handwriting.

"It grows so fast." Seeing Caesar's beautiful bright black scales gradually turning into dark gray for camouflage, Luna couldn't help thinking.

She felt that he should not interrupt his thinking. Whenever Caesar fell into silence, he would become extremely serious, even a little scary, so the fairy of the forest choked back the words that came to his lips, and waited quietly.

The breeze blew the treetops, rustling, and Luna's thoughts also became complicated.

It seems that Cesar Altorenzo has entered adolescence, the beginning of sexual maturity, and will he start looking for a mate?

Surely it will.

She saw Caesar's ferocious horns, sharp fangs, and strong body... In the eyes of dragons, this guy must be the best choice for breeding together, and there must be many female dragons who like him. For some reason, the fairy of the forest suddenly became a little angry.

At this time, Caesar finally stood up slowly, shaking off the dirt on his body.

"Luna."

Seeing her standing there, Caesar said, "The Stone Crow Clan has gradually entered the right track, and I'm thinking about the next arrangement."

He didn't need to explain to the little guy originally, but Caesar was willing to say more. Although the fairy of the forest was forcibly captured by him, he has now become one of the few creatures that can communicate with the black dragon.

"There's one thing I thought I should tell you."

Luna shook her head, indicating that she didn't care about the little waiting: "Many new humans have appeared near the Stone Crow Clan."

"It's normal."

Caesar stretched out his paws and let the little guy sit in his palm: "The dry season is coming, and many people thought of the fruit pulp that caused a sensation in the market last year and could dispel the curse of the Balrog, so they came to the Stone Crow Clan to investigate, trying to find out Some clues."

He sneered in his heart, no matter on Earth or Elradia, such thieves who can't get on the stage and try to get something for nothing are indispensable.

"Different."

Little Luna shook her head expressionlessly: "I've seen those peepers before, but this time it's different."

"Caesar." She emphasized her tone: "Do you think ordinary peepers will be distributed in groups of three or five and carry standard weapons around the tribe?"

"Standard weapons?"

The black dragon froze for a moment, then looked down at the little guy in its claws, and looked straight into her eyes: "Are you sure?"

"If there is nothing wrong with my eyes."

Luna expressed 100% certainty: "I don't know when this group of humans began to appear on the edge of the tribal territory one after another; they wore uniform light armor, and the daggers were painted with patterns that I didn't recognize."

"Also, I saw that almost everyone was carrying something, which was covered by a cloth. Looking at the shape, I guess it might be a hand crossbow."

Luna said more and more seriously: "They have quiver in their leggings."

Caesar completely stopped crawling into the lair, and after listening to Luna's description, his expression became serious, and he muttered: "Scout."

In Elradia, such people should be called thieves, but most professional thieves don’t play hand crossbows. They have better bows and arrows to choose from. Bows of the same pound weight usually have a shooting speed of hand crossbows. three to four times.

The only advantage of the hand crossbow over the bow and arrow is that it can keep aiming, and can follow the command of the commander to pull the crossbow at any time to maintain unity. If you want to do this with a bow, sometimes the negotiations before the battle are stalemate for too long, and the shooters will be exhausted.

Only the army can assemble hand crossbows.

These people are scouts sent by the army.

"Do the orcs know?"

Caesar was a little uneasy, this is not just a play, the appearance of the investigator is actually a signal,

It means that certain forces in human beings have already planned to attack them.

Damn it, it's just getting on the right track, can't we give it a little more time?

"I know, but humans have appeared a lot during this time, and they don't seem to take it seriously. The news chain was broken in Galna, and even Sif was never notified." As a wise immortal, Luna was also aware of the matter The severity of the speech is fast.

"Then I will trouble you to run again."

Caesar held up the little guy in his hand and let her flap her wings to fly: "Go and inform Sif of the news, and ask him to come to my lair to discuss. In addition, tell the soldiers to pick up their weapons and prepare for battle."

"Okay." Luna replied.

...

When Sif entered the black dragon's lair accompanied by the orc leader Garr, he couldn't help but be amazed at the life habits of the other party. Caesar's lair was not as dirty and filthy as it was recorded in the books.

"Your Excellency Caesar, your residence amazes the orcs." The old wizard complimented.

"Thanks to our children of the forest."

Caesar glanced at Luna who was sitting in the small stone house, and instead of continuing the topic, he asked Gal, "Have the soldiers started preparing?"

"The kids can't wait."

Svtigal replied, his forehead wrinkled into a ball: "But please forgive the orc for being slow, I have some doubts, is the fact really as serious as the fairy of the forest said?"

"I'm afraid it's more serious than that."

Caesar nodded solemnly: "It is a disaster for a weak race to occupy rich resources, and it is coveted. I guessed that there would be such a day, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

Before Sifu could respond, Caesar went on to say: "Please allow me to remind you that when you go back later, you should remind the women and children to get ready to leave. The Stone Crow clan may need to move at any time."

Caesar never pinned his hopes on the weakness and stupidity of his enemies. He had to prepare his way out in advance. Breaking the boat and throwing all his eggs in one basket may sound nice and imposing, but people will know that putting eggs in one place How unreliable the behavior in the basket is.

It is impossible for the other party not to know that there is an archmage in the Stone Crow Clan, but if they want to attack the orcs in this situation, they are probably already fully confident.

In this regard, Caesar had to be cautious, and while preparing for the battle, he had to leave a retreat.

Hearing what he said, Sifu's face also became serious. He knew Caesar well and knew that the black dragon would not be aimless.

"I see." The old leader nodded heavily.

"We will never allow those little guys to threaten the tribe. We will wait here. As long as they dare to come, the orcs will give them a hard blow." The grand commander Gal bumped his fists together, and the words seemed to swear, Sonorous and powerful.

"No!"

However, the black dragon sighed and shook his head at him, as if he didn't agree with Gall's statement.

The straightforward orc became impatient: "My lord, we have armor and weapons, please rest assured that the orc will fulfill its promise to you!"

"I said, no."

Caesar repeated his words emphatically, then stood up from his half-sitting body, stared at Gall and said, "Waiting will only lead to destruction."

"You should take the initiative to attack and weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible."

The black dragon finally showed its fangs: "Go, go now. Take your weapons and clean up the human beings outside like garbage, and don't leave a single one alive."
