The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon

Just as Hogg rubbed his waist.

not far away

A kobold cub less than half a year old was humming a song and happily preparing to go home happily with the windfall of learning archery today (a small basket of fruit).

Suddenly, he spotted the familiar figure standing in front of the door.

"Um?"

Hogg, who noticed the gaze, turned around subconsciously.

Suddenly, the little head man's eyes widened when he saw Hogg's face clearly.

The next second, he immediately shouted excitedly in his unskilled dragon language with a "oooo" noise:

"Commander!"

"It's the commander, he's awake! He's awake!"

Suddenly, all the kobolds in the town who knew dragon language turned their heads and looked here, and other races were also looking here.

Hogg twitched the corner of his mouth. His intention to use the transformation technique to "visit privately" had obviously failed.

He turned around helplessly, walked up to the excited little head man, raised his leg and lightly kicked his butt, and said with a smile:

"You little idiot, remember, I will call you Deputy Commander Hogg from now on."

After saying that, he covered his waist, turned around and left.

The Kobold who was stunned in place, holding his buttocks, suddenly reacted when he saw Hogg's leaving back. He trembled, then stood up straight and shouted:

"Yes, Commander, no, Deputy Commander Hogg, I understand!"

Even though he said this, the admiration in his eyes did not diminish at all.

These cubs who were born in the Rock Tribe since childhood, no matter which race they belong to, can say that their worship of Hogg has reached an extreme.

Although Hogg always claimed that the master of the Rock Clan was a true dragon, he was only the deputy commander.

But the next generation, who have never seen a real dragon, are obviously more willing to believe that Hogg, who leads them to glory, is the real master of the Panshi clan.

As the blazing day gradually sets, the cool moonlight gradually fills the earth.

It’s still the strange-looking Tongzi Tower.

It's just that besides Hogg, there are a few more figures among them.

inside the house

In front of an oval-shaped stone table nearly ten meters long.

Several figures exuding a tyrannical aura sat in their own seats without saying a word, silently drinking tea on the table.

These are all the clan leaders or deputy clan leaders of each ethnic group, and they are also the current top combat power of the Panshi clan.

And the reason why they gathered here was because of the summons of the dragon-veined kobold who was always frowning at the main seat.

"Let's take a look at the information from the spies from the Orc Kingdom."

Hogg frowned and threw an urgent piece of information from the Orc Kingdom into the center of the round table.

Everyone looked at each other.

Sitting on the far right side of the long table, the female half-elf leader, less than one meter tall, reached out first, picked up the sheepskin scroll that was about as long as her thigh, and slowly unfolded it.

After reading it carefully, the half-elf commander's face changed slightly, but she didn't say anything, and then passed the scroll to the leader of the centaurs beside her.

It wasn't until everyone circulated it around that the parchment scroll returned to Hogg's hands.

But Hogg, after getting the scroll, said nothing. He just lowered his head silently and read the information word for word.

Seeing that the wise leader seemed not to be prepared to speak first, the half-elf leader Alaina thought for a moment and then took the initiative to say:

"Hogg, the civil strife in the Orc Kingdom doesn't seem to have anything to do with us, right?"

The Orc leader sitting opposite also nodded:

"Alena is right, but I think there is something wrong with the strange disease called "mania" that was suddenly infected on a large scale in the Lionheart royal family mentioned in the intelligence."

Due to its huge size, the rune giant squatting outside suddenly said in a muffled voice:

"It doesn't matter. We, the Rune clan, are immune to diseases and poisons and are not afraid of infection."

The clan leaders looked speechlessly at the smug rune giant squatting outside the house.

【Who asked you? 】

Hearing this, Hogg also sighed.

He turned to look at the orc leader who had been silent in the corner, and suddenly raised a question that had nothing to do with intelligence:

"Gall, how is the relationship between the various ethnic groups in the Panshi clan recently?"

Suddenly, everyone's eyes turned to Gal, who had gray-green skin.

As one of the two ethnic groups that maintain the order of the Panshi Clan.

In addition to the humanoid soldiers who have no intelligence and can only follow Hogg's instructions, the other group is in charge of the orcs.

The orc leader Garr shook his head and said:

"Everything is the same as before. Everyone lives according to the rules you set, and there is no group conflict."

The clan leaders who heard this answer also nodded. With the mediation of the humanoid constructs and the orc guards, conflicts and conflicts between the various clans have indeed not broken out for a long time.

Among them, the orc leader Garr can be said to have made a great contribution.

Although everyone didn't say it clearly, they all remembered it in their hearts.

Just when everyone thought this was just an ordinary routine question.

The orc leader hesitated for a moment, then suddenly spoke again:

"but."

"Recently, the frequency of private fights among the cubs in my tribe has increased a lot, and even some adult orcs often have conflicts."

Hearing this, the rune giant outside the house shook his head and said:

"Isn't this normal? Fighting should be a common occurrence for orcs."

Unlike the big-hearted rune giant, everyone sitting in the room was suddenly shocked after hearing this information.

In connection with the theme of this conference.

Immediately, everyone turned their attention to Hogg in the main seat.

"It seems that everyone has noticed something is wrong, right?"

Hogg crossed his hands, placed them on his chin, and slowly said:

"I checked the status of the entire Panshi Clan's camp in the afternoon and found that many members of the clan were insulting each other and even fighting. Many of the reasons for these disputes were ridiculous and trivial matters that are not worth mentioning."

Speaking of this, he sighed:

"For example, tofu pudding can be eaten sweet or salty."

Hearing this, all the leaders also lowered their heads and thought about the situation within their respective clans.

"Hogg, is it possible that this is just a coincidence?"

Alena, the half-elf leader, frowned and said words that she didn't quite believe.

"coincide?"

Hogg sneered:

"If this is all a coincidence, then why don't you go back and ask why your daughter suddenly had a conflict with those kobold brats this afternoon that she usually doesn't bother to pay attention to?"

"What!"

Alaina looked at Hogg in disbelief.

She has been busy with family arrangements recently and has indeed neglected to discipline her children. But with her children's gentle and gentle personality, how could she possibly conflict with others?

"Indeed, there has been a bit too much restlessness within the centaurs recently."

On the other side of the long table, an old man with white beard and hair, Chief Ma, knocked the ashes from his pipe and said with a frown.

This tribe of centaurs originates from the Warcraft Plains and is not the same tribe as the centaurs that Ron met in the Red Earth Highlands.

They were the elites that Hogg spent a lot of effort to conquer when he was fighting in the Warcraft Plains. The strength of Lao Ma was even closer to the legend, and he was one of Hogg's early rising right-hand men.

"So."

The leaders said at the same time.

then

They looked at each other and already had the result in their minds.

Hogg nodded and said:

"So far, this collective "madness" situation is only in its early stages.

"The only ethnic groups in the entire Rock Clan that do not suffer from this symptom are humans, rune lifeforms, semi-dwarves and a few other races."

"As for the hardest-hit areas, they are the orcs and orcs."

With that said, Hogg turned to look at the orc leader:

"I heard that orcs have begun to fight with each other, resulting in serious injuries?"

"Um."

Gal nodded heavily. He took the initiative to report this matter to Hogg, and it was also one of the main reasons for initiating this meeting.

If this situation continues, the entire Panshi tribe may face large-scale civil strife, or even more serious consequences.

The clan leaders who finally realized the seriousness of the matter put aside the relaxation caused by the long-lost gathering and began to discuss countermeasures.

"I think it will be even more serious in the Orc Kingdom."

The half-elf leader said with deep thoughts:

"Everyone knows that the evolutionary direction they have been advocating over the years is towards the evolution of the ancestor beasts, and judging from what everyone just said, it seems that the closer the bloodline is to the monsters, the greater the impact will be."

Suddenly, the rune giant sitting outside the door scratched his head and asked a question:

"What about the group of guys living in the Warcraft Plains? In terms of wildness, no one can compare to that place, right?"

As soon as these words came out.

For a moment, everyone was silent.

Many of the people present had come from the Warcraft Plains and knew what the environment there was like.

What if those old guys who were already recuperating were also affected by this "mania" and started to go crazy?

"Clang!"

There was a loud noise as a chair was overturned.

An adult female ice wolf standing outside the middle stood up anxiously. Regardless of her manners, she said anxiously to the silent kobold sitting in the main seat:

"Hogg, there are still many old people and children in our Ice Wolf tribe who have not followed the large army to evacuate. They all live on the outskirts of the Warcraft Plains!"

"We should save."

when! when!

The old man standing aside, Commander Ma, took a puff of cigarette ashes again, interrupted the speech of the adult ice wolf tribe, and said calmly:

"Don't worry, Alanis."

"Ask everyone here, don't any of them have more or less elderly clansmen staying in the Warcraft Plains to retire? Even the centaurs and horses who are good at running around have left some of their people to guard their ancestral land."

As soon as these words came out, the other commanders also nodded.

As the origin of the development of the Panshi Clan, many old and young people who could not move with the large army were uniformly placed in a small town similar to this on the outskirts of the Warcraft Plains.

In addition to the protective formation set up by Hogg and several other spellcasters, there were also a large number of combatants stationed there for protection.

In the entire Warcraft Plains, except for the [Kapachi Defense Line], which is personally guarded by the Black Legion, no one thinks that any other force can break through the town's defense.

Therefore, although the expressions of the major clan leaders were not good, they were not too anxious.

because

Everyone knows that when Hogg raised this matter, he must have had a preliminary solution before he dared to start this meeting.

Otherwise, it will only make everyone present panic.

"But."

Ice wolf girl Alanis gritted her teeth and wanted to say something.

"Alenais, I know that your biological child is still in the Warcraft Plains."

Hogg, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.

He stood up slowly and walked towards the window. The strong body wrapped in dragon scales gave everyone present a huge sense of oppression.

Look at the rising moon in the sky

Hogg said in a deep voice:

"Don't worry, the construction army responsible for exploring the path has already set off. Even if it costs my life, I will rescue them all."

"But the current situation is still very complicated. No one knows how far [mania] will evolve. The most important thing at the moment is that we ourselves cannot panic!"

"Once we ourselves panic, the entire Panshi clan will be doomed, do you understand?"

Hearing this, Alenais lowered his head in silence.

The atmosphere in the room also calmed down.

All the commanders also silently watched Alanis' next reaction.

After all, the status of this clan is very special. They are the clan conquered by the true dragon master who has never shown up. In theory, they are on the same level as Hogg.

However, Hogg is too good, so the Ice Wolf Clan's attitude towards the deputy commander who holds the sole power is also very complicated.

As Alenais clenched his fists tighter and tighter.

The air began to slowly become thicker.

Just when everyone thought that the acting patriarch of the Ice Wolf Tribe would disobey Hogg's order and lead his tribe to leave alone and head to the Warcraft Plains.

Sudden.

boom!

The strong Alenais suddenly knelt down on one knee.

She suppressed her inner anxiety, raised her head, and looked at Hogg with pleading eyes:

"Please, the Ice Wolf Clan will accept your deployment unconditionally. All I ask is that you can rescue those children. There are 165 underage children living there, and this is our entire hope for the future."

"Everything is up to you."

After saying this, she would bend down and lower her head, exercising the highest etiquette.

However, her always strong right arm blocked her movement and pulled her up forcefully.

Hogg looked at Alenais, who was already in tears, and said in a deep voice:

"I will."

"I promise, they will come back intact and alive."

"No one can be missing!"

Looking at the leader of the Ice Wolf Tribe buried in Hogg's arms and crying bitterly.

The leaders looked at each other and nodded silently.

Even the usually naive leader of the rune giants said seriously at this moment:

"The runes will lead us to victory, and my body will be on the front line, crushing those stupid beasts!"

"Pfft! You're obviously the dumbest one."

The half-elf leader couldn't help but cover his mouth and laughed.

"I'm not, Anxi is the smartest rune giant!"

Anxi, the leader of the rune giants, shouted dissatisfied.

Listening to the familiar bickering, the leaders present also smiled involuntarily.

Although they didn't speak, in their hearts, the war that had calmed down for more than a month had started burning again with Hogg's encouragement!

Looking at the leaders who had rekindled their fighting spirit, Hogg nodded with satisfaction.

This is exactly what he wanted to achieve.

The Panshi clan, which has been resting for a month, has begun to slack off a little. The peaceful life has caused them to start to fall. Otherwise, strange things like [mania] should have been discovered by various clan leaders a week ago.

The challenges of the Rock Clan never stop, rest is only temporary, and fighting is their eternal theme!

This small clan started from the forest of Oracle Town and grew step by step. Based on a group of weak kobolds and dragon beast girls, it gradually developed to a level that could compete with the five-color army. It experienced many difficulties and obstacles. , only Hogg himself knows.

The initial starting point is in the past, but no one knows where the future end point will be.

But Hogg is sure

All challenges that cannot destroy them will eventually become the nourishment of the Panshi Clan! (End of chapter)
