Dragon Who Controls Time

The dragons of Faerûn, who knew about the Imaskar Empire, would not think of provoke them for no reason.

At this time, the Imaskar Empire was in full swing. It was the time when the country was at its peak. Countless contraptions were enough to wipe out a party. The lords of the contraptions were amazing. The Faerun Continent was huge, but the Imaskar Empire occupied the entire East.

Judging from the historical information that Galleon knows.

When the Imaskar Empire fell into the war of annihilation, it was the period of Netheril's prosperity and development, which was enough to compete with the Imaskar Empire when it was at its strongest.

But at this time, Netheriel is not good enough. If it is against the Imaskar Empire, if there is no external force to intervene, Netheril will be destroyed within a few days.

At this time, the Imaskar Empire was so powerful.

Moreover, Sorin owns a city, and he is a new lord of strange weapons. Naturally, he will not show fear to Jialong, even if he knows that he is not the opponent of the silver dragon in the field of vision, but the power of the empire gives His infinite confidence.

"Well...I haven't seen such an arrogant person in a long time."

Garen shook his head slightly.

This guy is full of confidence that belongs to the people of the empire.

If it was an ordinary Legendary True Dragon, in order to avoid trouble from the Imaskar Empire, he might have left. After all, he was just passing by, and there was no hatred between him and Sorin.

But what Thorin didn't know was that the target of the legendary dragon in front of him was the Imaskar Empire he relied on.

"A city lord, the Duke of the Empire."

"From him, I can get a lot of information about the Imaskar Empire."

After Sorin revealed his identity, Garen had no plans to let him go.

Since this place is not far from the Imaskar Empire, the battle with the legendary-level magical artifact will cause a lot of momentum, and may lead to the attention of the Imaskar Empire, so Garen intends to make a quick battle and spend some time for this. Strength is also acceptable.

The silver dragon looked at the mechanical titan, and his eyes gradually became dark and dangerous.

At the same time, a mighty abyss like an abyss like purgatory radiated from Garen's body.

boom!

The ring-shaped Longwei condensed like a substance, like a tenth-level hurricane spreading rapidly, the towering ancient trees centered on Jialong were uprooted, the surface dust splashed, and cracks climbed, such a powerful Longwei fell. On the body of the Mechanical Titan, the behemoth made of this metal machine trembled slightly, activating the protective shield.

Looking at the monstrous silver dragon in his field of vision, Sorin's heart lifted, and the pressure doubled.

He seemed to have provoked an existence that he shouldn't have provoked.

The name of the Imaskar Empire did not scare the other party, but instead aroused stronger hostility from the other party for some reason.

If the opponent is not afraid of the power of the empire, his mechanical Titan seems to be insufficient to face the wrath of the legendary dragon.

"Warning, warning, massive energy convergence detected."

Under the pressure of the rising momentum of the silver dragon, the intelligence of the mechanical Titan frantically issued a warning.

Sorin's face sank, and then a smile appeared on his face.

"Wait........."

He intends to correct his attitude to avoid a head-on battle with the silver dragon, and then assemble the magical army to strangle it. However, before Sorin's words are finished, the mechanical Titan Intelligence's warning sound madly sounded again, reminding Soo Lin was ready to face the opponent's attack.

"Then come face me."

In the low voice of the dragon, the dragon wings of the silver dragon shook violently, pulling out a silver streamer in the air, rushing towards the mechanical titan with a breathtaking momentum.

Galleon or don't do it.

Once he decided to take down the mechanical titan, he used all his strength the moment he moved.

Longwei burst out with all his strength, and under heavy pressure, the energy shield around the mechanical titan body surface burst into waves, shaking in the air. His mental power will instantly lose his ability to resist under the oppression of Garen's dragon power.

at the same time.

The silver dragon, which was accelerating to the limit, moved so fast that it completely exceeded the target locking system of the mechanical titan.

When the mechanical titan reacted, the silver dragon, which was more than twice the size of this imperial weapon, was already close at hand, and both sides entered the attack range of the other.

Boom boom boom!

At this moment, the Titan's engine was overloaded, making a deafening loud roar, like a rolling thunder in the dark clouds, and a large number of creatures living in the Dragonjaw Mountains were shivered by the sudden movement, and their limbs were paralyzed.

The mechanical titan's chest armor opened.

Inside is a dazzling group of dazzling rays of light that is brewing destructive power. The dazzling rays of light that radiate down the bright sunlight, and a large number of energy particles emerge in the surrounding space, which are sucked into the chest of the mechanical titan, and the energy is rapidly increased. grade.

It aimed at the fast silver dragon, ready to go.

However, something unexpected happened.

The silver dragon, which had barely caught the traces of its silhouette just now, suddenly disappeared. At the same time, the world in the eyes of the mechanical titan was spinning. The clear sky appeared directly above the mechanical titan, and under it was the solid earth.

The mechanical titan fell to the ground, and a large hole was opened in the chest.

The energy source inside was taken out.

"Warning, warning, mechanical titan under unknown attack, undetectable titan engine, incapacitated."

Losing the energy core of the Titan Engine, the mechanical Titan has no energy to drive, and the warning sound from intelligence is getting weaker and weaker.

Sorin, who had been watching the situation nervously, was stunned.

In his opinion, the mechanical titan had not yet come into contact with the enemy, as if his eyes were blinded. The mechanical titan that had just been in good condition fell to the ground in the next instant, and it seemed that a lot of things happened in the middle that Sorin was completely unaware of. .

"This...what's the matter?"

The legendary mechanical titans were instantly defeated. In such a strange situation, everything that happened in Sorin's eyes made him shudder.

He is a high-level artificer, not an ordinary person, and he also controls the masterpiece of the empire, the Mechanical Titan.

The mechanical titans can easily defeat ordinary legendary creatures, but without any resistance, the armor is broken and the engine is pulled out.

It was precisely because of this that Sorin knew how terrifying the other party was.

Immediately, the sun suddenly dimmed, and the huge and majestic dragon head blocked the sky and appeared in his field of vision at close range.

Powerful dragon claws stuck out and clasped the mechanical titan's head.

The platinum dragon pupil's gaze seemed to penetrate the armor, and fell on Duke Thorin indifferently, which brought him great pressure. The temperature in the cabin was obviously suitable, but Duke Sorin's back was already wet with sweat.

Garen began to exert force.

Kacha Kacha...... A cluster of crack marks appeared on the head of the mechanical Titan, and the surrounding armor gradually dented under the power of Garen.

In the harsh metal twisting sound, several children were awakened by fright.

The countess hugged her child tightly and looked at her backbone, Duke Thorin.

"Please forgive me, I will give out enough treasure to redeem my life!"

Duke Thorin exclaimed.

He had just become a duke, he was still young, and he didn't want to die under the claws of a giant dragon just like that.

Garen moved.

"Do you want to come out by yourself, or be caught out by me?"

He said without emotion.

laugh!

In a small sound, the armor of the mechanical Titan's forehead opened again.

Duke Thorin's frail body was exposed to Garen's claws.

Garen grinned.

Under Sorin's tense gaze, the silver dragon grabbed it with one claws and pinched it between his fingers.

After breaking away from the protection of the mechanical titan and facing the super-giant legendary real dragon at close range, Sorin really realized his insignificance. In the dragon's claws, he tried to struggle for a while, but the huge dragon's claws remained motionless and stable. like mountains.

At this time, Duke Thorin saw another dragon claw of the silver dragon.

Thorn thorn ...... In the flickering sparks, the heart of the mechanical Titan, the titan engine that was pulled out, was in another dragon's claws, and the magical runes were looming.

"I am the Duke of Imaskar Empire, the Lord of Maple Leaf City."

"I have enormous wealth."

Duke Thorin took a few deep breaths and bit his lip to calm himself down.

As long as it is a dragon, there is no one who does not love treasure. He intends to stabilize it through the dragon's greed for treasure, and then find an opportunity to report this dangerous and huge creature to the empire, requesting to send troops to encircle and suppress it.

"As long as you spare my life, I swear to you with the glory of the Duke of the Empire, the accumulation of Maple Leaf City for a hundred years will become your wealth."

"And, I will assure you that the Imaskar Empire will not cause you any trouble afterwards."

"On the contrary, I hope to gain the friendship of the legendary real dragon, and there will be treasures offered every year in the future."

In the claws of the giant dragon, the calmed down Sorin talked eloquently.

However, Garen just stared at him with calm eyes, without any reaction or expression to his words.

Like a real dragon's gaze, Sorin's pressure doubled.

Without saying a word, the silent silver dragon also gave him a bad premonition.

Thorin paused for a few seconds, then recovered himself and continued: "If you kill me, it won't do you any good."

"The death of a duke will not be ignored by the empire. In order to maintain the inviolable majesty of the empire, you will face the pursuit of the imperial army later."

"I believe that the wise dragon will make the right choice."

Thorin put on the backing of the Imaskar Empire again.

What he said was actually true.

After all, he was a duke, the lord of a city, and he was already a high-ranking noble of the Imaskar Empire. If Sorin suddenly disappeared, the Imaskar Empire would definitely send someone to investigate.

It's a pity that Thorin met Galen.

"I think there is a third option."

Garen said in a low voice.

Sorin was slightly taken aback.

"Please speak."

Sorin was not as nervous as he was at the beginning, because he found that the legendary dragon didn't seem to want to kill him, otherwise, under the dragon's claws, the opponent could kill him with a little force, and he would have already started to kill him. .

"Betray your empire and swear allegiance to me."

Cannon said straight to the point.

Thorin's expression stiffened.

Betrayal of the Empire... The Imaskar Empire's methods of punishing the betrayers are very ruthless.

If the betrayal was discovered, his entire clan would be immediately relegated to slavery.

There are slaves in Maple Leaf City. Sorin can't be more clear about the way the Imaskar Empire treats slaves. The slaves of the empire have no human rights, even pigs and dogs are inferior to them. They can be killed and abused at will. The Muska Empire is a paradise for artificer nobles and a hell for slaves.

As for himself, he will enjoy the harshest punishment in the empire.

After death, the soul will be drawn out, and will be tortured for eternity.

You can't live, you can't die.

Thorin opened his mouth and wanted to discuss other possibilities with Garen.

"Lord Dragon, I......"

Cannon interrupted the Duke's words.

"You have no choice."

"Betraying the empire and allegiance to me, you can still go back and be your city lord."

"Be loyal to the empire and go against my will, then only eternal death awaits you."

Garen's words were clear.

His words were calm and dangerous.

In the dragon's claws, under the undeniable voice of the silver dragon, Sorin's face showed a struggle.

The glory of the empire, the life and death of the individual, the dignity of the family... Thorin's brain was so chaotic that he couldn't make a choice for a while.

It was as if there were two little people arguing in his mind.

"Sorin, you enjoy all the privileges of the empire. You should not betray the empire. Only cowards will betray their own empire."

"Betrayal? People should only be loyal to themselves. Nothing is more important than oneself. Face your heart. You don't want to die for the empire."

"Think about the empire's training and trust in you."

"Are you willing to give up a good life? You have just become a duke, and your future is bright."

"And there are always people who want to betray the empire, why can't it be you?"

"................"

A few minutes later, Thorin was still engaged in a fierce inner struggle.

However, from the moment he hesitated, Garen knew Sorin's decision in the bottom of his heart.

A person who is truly loyal to the empire will decisively refuse, hesitate, hesitate, and think the moment he hears his request... These all show Sorin's attitude, he is not one who puts the safety of the empire on the line people above their own lives.

Garen planned to add fire to Thorin's shaky heart.

The dragon claws holding Sorin slowly tightened.

The squeezing force from all directions made Thorin's complexion change greatly.

"People loyal to the empire, I respect your choice."

"Now, I give you, death."

The scythe of the god of death drove to Thorin's neck and was slowly approaching.

Under the danger of death, Thorin's swaying heart instantly made the final choice.

He chose to be true to himself.

"Wait, Your Majesty Dragon."

Sorin hesitated for a moment, then, under the calm gaze of the silver dragon, lowered his head and changed his voice: "Lord.......Master, I am willing to swear allegiance to you."

"Very well, you made the right choice."

Garon said.

In Dragon Claw, Sorin was relieved after making the decision, and his expression suddenly relaxed a lot.

"I swear under the witness of the dragon of eternity and time that you will be loyal to me and become my loyal minions."

Thorin swore an oath.

After he finished speaking, he felt something in his heart and knew the tragic end of violating his oath, which meant that the witness of his oath was a god-like being.

Immediately, Garen planted a time stamp on Thorin.

Under Garen's deliberate means, a feeling of being watched permeated Sorin's heart, lingering like a shadow.

Thorin himself is a high-level artificer, not a weak one.

But when he knew that he was left with some kind of imprint, he couldn't even detect a trace of the time imprint. Thinking about the inexplicable fall of the mechanical titan, he had no idea about Garen's unfathomable means. Can not help but more afraid.

Garen let go of the dragon's claws.

Looking down at Duke Thorin who had succumbed to himself, Garen said solemnly, "Tell me what you know about the Seven Secret Artifacts of Imaskar."

Sorin was slightly startled.

It turned out to be aimed at the Imaskar Empire, and I also hope that the empire's prestige can repel the other party...... Duke Thorin smiled bitterly.

He is not stupid.

The silver dragon bared its fangs, and its goal was obvious.

"The Seven Secret Artifacts of the Empire, four of which are in the hands of the Imperial Family."

"The remaining three secret weapons are in the hands of the three masters of amazing weapons. We are both dukes, but our status in the empire is incomparable."

"Imaskar's first secret weapon is a crown, held by the Emperor of the Empire."

"Imaskar's crown can forcefully control all the wonders of the empire. It is a symbol of supreme power and is enough to suppress any rebellion by a magician."

"Imaskar's Second Secret Artifact......"

If you want to sell it, sell it thoroughly.

The Imaskar Empire would not forgive the betrayers, Sorin had no choice but to try to believe that the silver dragon in front of him had the strength to compete with the Empire.

Gradually, Sorin told Garen all the information about the secret weapon he knew.

Next, Garen asked a lot about other information about the Imaskar Empire, such as the powerful artifice creations, how many legendary artificers there are, and so on.

As the Duke of the Empire, Thorin really knows a lot.

As he spoke, the image of the Imaskar Empire gradually took shape in Garen's heart.

After hearing this, Garen narrowed his eyes slightly, thinking about how to get the Imaskar Secret Artifact.

Especially the Imaskar crown.

"The Imaskar Empire is in full swing at this time, there are thousands of artifice lords, most of them are legendary artificers, and there are also a large number of weapons such as mechanical titans to guard the city...... .. It's hard to get the secret weapon by snatch."

In Sorin's Maple Leaf City alone, there are twelve mechanical Titans.

If he hadn't personally driven a mechanical titan and left the city in order to kill his brother himself, Garen would not have captured an imperial duke so easily, and Maple Leaf City was not considered a big city in the Imaskar Empire.

The artifact corps, the capital of the Imaskar Empire, described by Thorin, made Garondu feel fearful.

Garen's eyes swept across the mechanical titans, sizing up this amazing creation.

"Mechanical Titans are only the middle and lower reaches of the legendary craftsmanship. The military strength of the Imaskar Empire is worthy of the name of the Empire."

"I want to get the secret weapon of the empire. Maybe I won't be able to fish in troubled waters until the Imaskar Empire encounters a strong enemy."

Garen didn't know when the Imaskar Empire would go downhill.

The current Imaskar Empire shows no signs of decay at all. It is the most powerful country in the eastern part of Faerun, and according to Sorin, the royal family of the Imaskar Empire is no longer satisfied with the existing territory, and intends to offer to Faerun. The other directions of the continent marched to unify the continent.

"Imaskar Empire has this strength."

"However, when it was destroyed, it was still not the only overlord of Faerun Continent."

Garen pondered silently, relying on the information he had in his hands.

"Imaskar Empire has the strength to become the hegemony of the continent. They also have this idea now, but they have failed."

A gust of wind blew the leaves.

"This means that when they planned to fight Faerun, they encountered some kind of change."

"Maybe, this is the opportunity that led to the destruction of the empire."

Garen combed the veins.

He is not sure if his thoughts are right or not, but from the information he has now, he thinks it is very possible.

If it weren't for some kind of change, the Imaskar Empire was expanding now, and Netheril had no chance to develop at all, and the future Floating City Empire would cease to exist.

With the strength of this strange tool empire, Faerun at this time has no power that can resist them.

So the question is, what caused the failure of the expansion of the Imaskar Empire and stranded in eastern Faerun?

Garen thought silently.

"Sorin, when does the Imaskar Empire plan to expand?"

Sorin thought for a while, and said, "The empire is getting stronger and stronger, and the lords of contraption have hoarded countless contraption weapons. The existing territory of the empire can no longer satisfy the royal family and the lords. It's getting worse and the friction is constant."

"In order to alleviate the contradictions within the empire, the war of conquest is imminent."

"The royal family has not given specific instructions."

"However, according to my estimation, the empire will start a war in one year at the fastest and three years at the slowest, and expand to other places."

As a contraption lord, although he was the weakest of the group because he had just taken office, Sorin still had a good understanding of the situation of the empire.

Hearing Sorin's words, Garen was thoughtful.

"Fix the mechanical titan and return to your territory."

"When I need you, I will naturally notify you."

"Your mission is to keep your position as a duke, and at the same time increase your influence within the empire, and gain more trust and intelligence from the imperial family. If necessary, I will provide you with support."

Garen said in a low voice.

As night fell, the new artifact lord returned to his realm.

"Next, just wait."

Garen knew that he could not shake the Imaskar Empire.

But its weakness and destruction are destined, and Garen just has to wait, waiting for the Imaskar Empire to provoke their true enemy.

With the chess piece Sorin there, he can learn about the trends of the Imaskar Empire in advance, and then choose the most suitable timing to take action based on what he knows about the future.

This may take a long time.

However, the most important thing Gallen lacks is time, especially within this timeline.

The patient hunter lay dormant, waiting in the darkness for the prey to weaken.
