Hotel on the mountain

General Alpha took the people from the Doin River Fortress to inspect the situation at a pass called Cologne in the upper reaches of the Doin River. Coron Pass is located about five days southeast of Shuangdan Province. Carter, the chief steward of the Raya family, also came here.

Alpha, who was putting on his military uniform, turned around in front of the mirror and watched Carter, who was as tall as him, pass by the window outside the corridor and enter the room.

"Oh, Brother Carter, what brought you here again?" A smile spread across his face.

"I call my visits 'door-to-door sales', General."

They hugged each other, and the two men with equally rosy faces were very enthusiastic.

Alpha suddenly picked up his pocket watch and took a look at it, and said with an apologetic smile: "If you don't mind, let's talk while we walk? The patrol time is up and I have to go out."

"Of course, no problem." Carter was a little confused, "Does the general also want to go out on patrol himself?"

They walked down the corridor on the pass, and the guards opened the gate. Alpha waved his hand and said with a smile: "Of course it's not necessary, but every general has his own habits of leading troops - I am used to knowing some things on the front line personally."

Then, the beard on Alpha's lips curled up, and he said in a humorous tone, "I will tell you this when the situation is not stable now. Normally I stay in the room and sleep in all day. "

"The situation is not stable? Is it related to the fact that you came to Coron Pass, General?"

"Yes." Alpha's face looked a little melancholy, "A force called the Dragon God Cult and a brand-new monster unit suddenly appeared in Shuangdan Province. Their momentum is very strong. They are continuously attacking other territories in the Zhongdelan District. Lun Pass is only a few days away from Shuangdan Province and is currently a key defense target on the border.”

"That will definitely not be a problem for you, General. Maybe the opportunity for promotion is hidden in this incident."

"Oh, Brother Carter, you really know how to lift me up."

The two laughed together and got on the horse. Alpha continued to ask: "Brother, what good things did you bring this time?"

"Two potions, general." A group of cavalry followed the two people out of the pass, preparing to inspect the border along the avenue.

"A kind of medicine called Mad Dragon. When used on monsters, the monster's attack behavior will be greatly enhanced, and the monster will kill tirelessly, but it will die after about fifteen minutes. When used on humans, it will temporarily enhance the human body and spirit. Yes, but it will fall into a weak state after the effect ends." Carter tried his best to "sell" the product based on what he knew. "We have also done some experiments and it is suitable for soldiers to use in critical situations."

"Hmm..." Alpha pondered for a long time before saying slowly, "It sounds more suitable for the army of the Great Chik Empire."

"Of course, General, I trust your judgment." Carter was not surprised. He knew that the next potion was likely to arouse General Alpha's interest. "The other potion is called the Weak Dragon Potion. It will effectively stop monsters." The aggressive behavior makes them lose interest in hunting, eating, and activities, and they just want to go back to their nests and lie down quietly. "The most important thing is that they are also effective against ancient dragons."

It was night now, and a group of them turned from the main road into the laughing road in the mountains and forests, searching for any traces of people smuggling across the border, enemy troops, or monsters.

After hearing the effect of the potion, General Alpha thought for a while and asked with some confusion: "Carter, are you sure it will also be effective on the ancient dragon? And will it make it want to go back to its lair to sleep?"

"It's absolutely true." Carter didn't think that his blush was because he was telling lies with his eyes open. He patted his chest and said confidently, "General, with the future reputation of the Raya family, as long as you use enough dosage, If there are too many dragons, it won’t be a problem.”

"dose?"

"Yes, General, the dosage needs to be many, many, many."

"Can I see this potion?"

Carter took out a bottle of gray liquid from the bag he had brought with him and handed it to Alpha. Alpha took it and looked at it carefully.

Their team walked deeper and deeper on the path in the mountain forest. The moonlight penetrated through the gaps in the leaves and reflected on some open stone surfaces, together with a group of terrifying figures sneaking silently.

The cavalry lit up the fish lanterns. This warm light gave people a sense of safety in the depressing night jungle.

Alpha shook the small bottle, smelled Carter and said: "Brother, if I want to bring the corpse dragon home, how many bottles do I need? What is the price of this bottle? How to make it match the corpse dragon?" Dragon takes effect?"

Making money from the military is actually not that simple.

However, Carter had thought about these questions, and he answered them one by one: "General, if you buy it, we will give you the relevant injection equipment. It is a piece of equipment about the same size as a dragon gun. Of course, you also You can combine this potion with crossbow arrows..."

"I know, we must not be able to use it anymore." Alpha interrupted, "Brother Carter, the dragon gun is so big." He stretched out his arms and made an exaggerated hugging gesture, "The injection equipment and If it's as big as a dragon-killing gun, I can already imagine how much it would take to repel the dragon-killing dragon. And this kind of potion cannot be mass-produced, right? It's also a one-time item, right?"

Before Carter could reply, Alpha waved his hand and decisively refused: "I can't afford it. I can't afford it."

"Okay." Carter didn't have any additional emotions, "I will report the results to the Duke."

"Oh, Brother Carter, I still welcome you to bring some good things. If there are more practical products like fish lanterns, I will definitely buy them." Alpha patted Carter on the shoulder. . For people of their status, things are discussed very quickly, and they can always make a quick decision whether to do something or not.

There was a slight rustle in the woods, and the mount of the cavalry leading the way suddenly neighed in fright.

"What happened?" General Alpha asked sharply.

"General! There is danger!" The leading cavalryman drew his sword, and with the clang of a sharp blade being unsheathed, the forest finally erupted with the sound of rustling leaves.

Like a herd of wild beasts rushing out, a small number of ferocious-looking monsters rushed into the patrol team. They were either fluttering, biting, or waiting around to prepare to pounce.

"Face the enemy calmly!" General Alpha immediately commanded loudly, "Three people formed a group, formed a ring defense, and gradually moved closer together!"

Butler Carter, General Alpha and Adjutant Cuenca, who were wearing bird feathers, got off their horses and were surrounded back to back in a protective circle of soldiers.

Carter had not fought for a long time. Under the light of the fish lantern, he saw that the monsters that attacked them had huge claws, muscles all over their bodies, a stooped body, elongated ears, hairless heads, and sharp teeth. It bites at the veins of horses and humans, greedily devouring flesh and blood.

"General! Their limbs will regenerate!" The soldiers outside the circle set up gun shields to resist the monster's waves of attacks.

"These should be the troops of the Dragon God Cult. They have developed really fast and have spread to our side." After General Alpha explained to Carter very quickly, he began to roar, "Attack Head! Break the head into pieces!”

Carter looked at the situation outside. There were not many monsters besieging them, but their fearlessness and bloodthirsty nature, coupled with their terrifying regeneration abilities, could easily make those who opposed them collapse.

Carter slowly rotated the green spiritual energy in his hands. When he found that a soldier was injured, he threw the green spiritual energy ball over. As soon as this magical life spiritual energy touched the soldiers' wounds, their body tissues healed quickly. Get back up. With Carter's help, everyone's morale improved significantly.

And Carter was also observing these monsters. He squinted his eyes, and his eyes were covered with a green light. He was observing the life characteristics of these creatures. Suddenly, he discovered something interesting. He took the Weak Dragon Potion. The bottle was opened, and the potion was thrown out and fell on the monsters.
