Under the Red Dragon
#184 - guess
When the centaur Chiron led the heavily armored corps and auxiliary corps back to the Royal Capital, it caused a sensation.
At this time, the Royal Capital has become the most important and core city of the Dragon Group's territory. Most of the residents of the Golden City have been evacuated and distributed here to settle down, and they continue to build and consolidate the defense of this increasingly large city.
There are also countless merchants and adventurers from all over the world stranded here. The Dragon Group's war with the Orc Kingdom has blocked the best channel for the Dragon Group to communicate with the outside world, and these huge numbers of stranded people are also trapped here.
Fortunately, the order of the Dragon Group's territory has already been established, so that these people don't have to worry about their lives and property being plundered. They hate those orcs far more than the residents of the Dragon Group's territory.
Because those orcs not only threatened their lives at any time, but also delayed their money-making plans, which is unforgivable.
Therefore, when these people saw countless orc skulls nailed to the stakes outside the Royal Capital, they all applauded and cheered, and the sound of celebration was even better than that of the residents in the territory.
The golden people who had been united together loudly commemorated and prayed for the dead soldiers, praying that the heroic spirits of these soldiers could enjoy their return in the Dragon Temple on the top of the mountains.
Together, they praised the warriors who returned from the bloody battle, praising them as the spears of the holy lord - Gogmora, crushing all enemies.
The bells and songs of the Royal Capital rang at dusk, drifting into the mountains along with the curling smoke from the city.
The large number of orc prisoners were settled in the camp outside the city. These orcs came from various orc tribes on the grassland. Their leaders and power classes were all executed, and they were leaderless and could only accept the transformation and exploitation of the Dragon Group's territory.
There are no longer any daring rebellious people among these orc prisoners. Those rebellious people who dared to instigate the orcs to resist had their heads hanging on the stakes erected next to the city wall, using their empty and numb eyes to bring the most profound lessons and warnings to the orc prisoners.
After being reorganized and tamed, these orcs will be armed in batches and used as the vanguard corps in the territory to fight with their own clansmen.
If they luckily survive, their sins will be forgiven, their lives will not be ended, but they can 'voluntarily' become one of the corps members of the Dragon Group and serve, but they can also enjoy normal treatment and will no longer be regarded as expendable consumables.
There are also a considerable number of bards in the city. Some of these bards were bought by the Red Copper Dragon Alfred and specialize in propaganda work.
They are responsible for spreading the victory of this war to every corner and every town in the territory, so that all the residents can share the joy of victory.
Some bards traveled here, because the news of the war between the orcs and the Dragon Group has been spread by those returning ships, attracting these nosy bards to come here to collect materials.
There is no need to doubt the skills of these bards. They can always sneak into the Dragon Group's territory through various strange methods. After all, the orcs only blocked the seaports for large-scale operations, but not the entire territory of the Dragon Group.
Foreign Dragon Nexon, as the law enforcement officer of the territory, has not had an easier task recently than the giant dragons on the front line. The sharp increase in the number of people has made it more difficult to maintain order, and the war has made the originally sufficient guards stretched.
Fortunately, the laws promulgated by the Dragon Group have begun to be привыкли(привыкли: accustomed) by the residents, and there is no major chaos. The most important thing for Foreign Dragon Nexon is to guard against those stranded here. These people are close to 20,000 and can easily cause various riots.
Foreign Dragon Nexon also discovered traces of one or two bronze dragons among those bards who write poems about chaos. These bronze dragons are different from their compatriots Alina. They prefer the art of war.
Many bronze dragons like to study the art of war, and sometimes even personally transform into soldiers and participate in the war. They will help the kind and just side and defeat the evil side.
The orcs who took the initiative to launch a war and invade the Dragon Group's territory are certainly on the evil side, but in the eyes of these bronze dragons, the Golden Land led by the five-color evil dragon is not on the side of justice and kindness.
Therefore, they just transformed into bards, observing the art of war between the two sides, and by the way, watching some fun.
Blue Dragon Kalite and Green Dragon Ellie returned from the battlefield and entered a brief sleep one after another. These two female dragons lived up to the blood of the giant dragon on their bodies. They fought like crazy on the battlefield and killed a large number of orcs.
However, their injuries were also relatively serious, especially the excessive exploitation of their bloodline abilities made them somewhat overwhelmed. They could only recover their state better and faster through sleep.
The powerful centaur warrior Chiron, after a two-day rest, once again led the remaining 1,300 heavy armored knights and the remaining beast knights on the road to the Golden City.
These heavy armored warriors are the elite of the Dragon Group's command. On the battlefield, they are enough to sweep away several times the elite professional corps of their own. However, facing the large number of orc army, they still lost nearly one-third of the warriors.
This is also why Chiron is eager to resolve the battle and wants to support the most important main battlefield. Otherwise, with the Dragon Group's heavy armored cavalry, it is enough to slowly grind down the large number of orc army. On the flat grassland, the power of the heavy armored cavalry is difficult to resist.
When Chiron defeated the orc tribe according to plan and embarked on the road to support, the battle of the Golden City was also coming to an end.
In the past few days, the arc-shaped Walled city built by relying on the shooting of defensive artillery fire has been jointly attacked by the army of the Orc Kingdom and the Sahua fishmen. It has been lost countless times, but most of the time, the Dragon Group's army took the initiative to retreat.
Whenever the orc's artillery fire roared, the blue dragon Akxz would command the army to retreat behind the defense line, avoid the dense artillery fire and the bombardment of the ballistae, and then launch a counterattack when the orcs and fishmen poured into the Walled city, and entangle with the opposite army.
The bloodthirsty wolf regiment led by the gnoll Chieftain Yougu and the mixed berserker corps led by the barbarian Jibu are like demons wearing steel armor. Even the most elite orc corps cannot break through the dome wall of these steel warriors and cannot stop the attack of these steel warriors.
In the Walled city, the orcs and fishmen who could not spread their troops became fish on the chopping board. Blood and flesh had already soaked every piece of land in the Walled city.
The elven archer corps and the mixed musket corps caused great damage to these orcs even with the protection of spellcasters.
After repelling the attack of the orcs and fishmen, the broken Walled city was driven by the elven druid corps and the war treants with the help of the forest into the Walled city before the next attack was organized, blocking the gaps.
So repeated entanglement, consuming the orc's ordnance and supplies, this temporary built Walled city unexpectedly held on for nearly half a month.
The huge body of the blue dragon Akxz stood on the incomplete west Walled city, looking at the wall that had been bombarded to pieces countless times, and a thick layer of wood chips had been laid on the ground.
Blood and flesh congealed these wood chips together, and were stepped into pieces of solid blood and flesh by the feet of countless warriors.
Even after countless repairs, this Walled city is now collapsing everywhere and is facing the point where it cannot be repaired. It can only be rebuilt.
The defense it provides is no longer enough to resist the next attack.
The bronze dragon Alina landed next to the blue dragon from the sky. This bronze dragon is not only responsible for the governance of the territory, but also needs to execute some plans from time to time.
For example, intercepting the orc's supply ships at sea and harassing the rear positions of the orcs with the flying dragon corps at night made this bronze dragon obviously thinner.
"Akxz, it's time to retreat. We have made preparations. The centaur Chiron also led the cavalry corps here. They are responsible for intercepting the army chasing us, which is enough for us to retreat smoothly to the next defense line."
The blue dragon nodded, taking a last look at this once prosperous and wealthy city, then opened its wings and issued its instructions: "The entire army retreats in order and retreats into the various defense lines according to plan."
All the legion warriors immediately operated in an orderly manner. In this war, these warriors have developed a strict accomplishment and habit of obeying orders.
The steel warriors bathed in blood and bone, silently evacuated this battlefield that impressed them. After a long period of consumption, these steel legions also lost many powerful and brave warriors.
The warriors who are still alive do not even have time to pray and commemorate for the heroic spirits who died in battle, and need to throw into the next battle. They also do not have time to take away the bodies of their comrades and companions, and can only silently pray in their hearts that these brave and loyal souls can find the direction of the Dragon Temple on the mountains.
Farn was also in the legion, evacuating in an orderly manner with the army. He looked up at the west wall of the Walled city, which was almost only one wall left. Hundreds of archers and musketeers were standing on it, standing by, preventing the orcs and fishmen from launching an attack again and providing cover for the retreat of the army.
The team around Farn has almost changed. In this fierce and lasting repeated entangle, even these reserve legions have lost many warriors.
Now those who can survive can be called veterans. And these reserve legions where the veterans are located are preparing to be established as formal legions under the planning of the military, the first legion of the Dragon Group's territory without a separate title of the regular army.
Farn was personally received by the blue dragon Akxz due to his military exploits and outstanding performance, and was promoted to the centurion of the first legion, the first company commander of the legion.
He will lead his company to guard a outpost checkpoint and become a link in the territory's defense system.
Farn stepped out of this dilapidated city and could not help but look back. The letters in his arms were the last trace of the comrades who fell on this land, which made him even more hateful of the orcs and fishmen.
The former paladin Farn, the current company commander Farn, that declining power, under this strong resentment, actually began to raise his head again.
However, the target of his prayer now is no longer the former sun god Pelor, so his power is no longer the glory of justice, but the flames of revenge and destruction like the red dragon.
The Golden City is close to the coast. In the main camp of the orc army, the orc prince Garn is sitting in the wide tent at this moment.
And that huge iron cage, under his personal guard, the giant beast in sleep is the center of the orc army's surrounding, and is under the most tight protection.
The curtain of the big tent was lifted, alarming the orc prince who was lying on the table studying the map of the Dragon Group's territory. Garn looked up and saw that it was the adjutant, the powerful orc warrior Kerr, who was rushing over.
"Prince, Garn, there is no need to organize the next attack. Those dragons and dragon warriors have voluntarily retreated. They know they cannot resist the next attack."
Orc Kerr, as the chief officer in charge of the entire siege, was overflowing with excitement on his face at this time.
"That's great. In order to reduce the loss of our warriors, let those fishmen charge for us, so that the dragons can hold on to this moment. I originally estimated that it would take two more days to completely defeat their defense line and drive them out of this city,"
The orc prince Garn's calm face could not help but reveal a smile. His voice clearly expressed his happy emotions for the first time.
"Immediately send someone to notify the kingdom, tell those stupid guys that we have achieved a crucial victory, and it is time for them to smell the bloody taste of victory."
"Also, send a large army to enter the Golden City, leave the Walled city to the fishmen to loot, and do not conflict with them for the time being. Our main priority now is to start relying on the Golden City as a base to wait for reinforcements and slowly invade,"
Orc Garn excitedly clapped his hands, "Let the fighting warriors rest in the city for a while, and then start re- build and repair this city. This will be the first city of our orc kingdom on the continent, and the starting point for our re- rise."
It was night, the dilapidated Golden City finally became brightly lit again. The vanguard of the orc army has entered the Golden City and stationed down in this city that has been ruined.
However, these orc legions do not have such strict discipline and accomplishment, so the vanguard of the orc army abandoned their tents and drilled into those houses and buildings that are still largely intact, enjoying a rare rest.
Even after a large number of artillery bombardments and spell bombardments by the spellcaster corps, the Golden City still retains a large number of buildings.
Especially the former Dragon Library and the Colosseum and other buildings, which are not in the center of the Golden City, and avoid the center of the frontal battlefield, the magic circle laid in the past is still in operation, although after the merman's loot, it is still largely intact, and is the favorite lounge for these orcs.
最⊥新⊥小⊥说⊥在⊥六⊥9⊥⊥书⊥⊥吧⊥⊥首⊥发!(Translation: The latest novels are first published on the 69 Book Bar!)
A large number of Sahuagin rushed into the Walled city. The huge Walled city contains many buildings. These Sahuagin rushed into the buildings to wantonly loot, and even rummage in the ruins, regardless of the Dragon Legion's counterattack. They are more afraid of the merman prince's punishment.
Until late at night, most of the orc legion warriors had already fallen asleep, and these greedy merman were still looting for lost wealth in every building and every corner of the city.
A strong merman warrior kicked open the wide house door in front of him with joy.
He had a string of agate stone necklaces and some jewelry ornaments around his neck, exquisite silk cloth on his body, gorgeous handicrafts hanging around his waist, and even several rings on his claws.
But a strange smell, strong and pungent, woke the merman from the full harvest. It followed the smell, passed through the hall of the house, and came to a room. There was a noise in the dark room.
The merman warrior gripped his fish spear tightly and kicked open the door. In his limited dark vision, he saw a pair of green eyes and a kobold with a lizard-like head.
Next to this kobold, the wooden floorboards had been pried open, revealing a dark hole. The kobold was pouring a pungent, viscous liquid all over the room.
The liquid had already covered the entire floor and was flowing out of the room. The strong, acrid smell instantly reminded the merman warrior of the fires on the sea.
"Wildfire, it's wildfire!" the merman warrior cried out in terror. He actually fled from the weak kobold warrior, staggering as he ran, trying to escape the house, to escape the city.
Bang! A jar of wildfire oil was thrown from the room, smashing against the wooden wall of the house. The pungent smell spread instantly. In his terror, the merman warrior only heard a loud cry from inside the room.
"My body burns in the flames, my soul returns to the holy temple forever, the great Red Dragon, my lord, may your will guide my loyal soul!"
The devout prayer, more terrifying than a demon's whisper, accompanied the rising flames. One by one, black spheres were lit, emitting deafening roars. Flames and explosions engulfed the house, and the ground collapsed.
This scene, as it roared to life, seemed to trigger a chain reaction, instantly setting the entire city ablaze.
Kobolds and green-skinned goblins lit wildfire oil and gunpowder bombs, not even thinking about retreating back into the tunnels, burning with the flames.
"Woof woof, even kobolds have a place in the Dragon's sanctuary," a kobold with a spear through his chest wore a triumphant smile as he lit the oil and everything before him.
The orc sentry could only watch in despair as the fire raged, instantly engulfing him. He could not escape either, because fires were breaking out everywhere around him.
Rumble! The great golden city erupted with explosions like mountains collapsing and the sea roaring, the ground collapsing and burying everything.
Flames raged, burning everything. The fire, in this city built primarily of wood, could not be contained, could not be stopped, could not be escaped.
The entire city was as if in the Red Dragon's fiery inferno, until everything was destroyed, until everything was turned to ashes. The towering flames were clearly visible even tens of miles away, and the continuous roar could not be drowned out even by the angry roar of the sea.
The blast waves and shockwaves from the excessive burning were like a god wielding thunder, roaring with thunder that filled the sky, irresistible as the might of heaven.
That night, the Blue Dragon Akazi traded a dilapidated golden city and thousands of followers for tens of thousands of orc and merman soldiers.
The orc prince Gahn and his closest adjutant Kor stood dumbfounded in the orc's main camp, watching the flames of destruction devour the twenty thousand elite vanguard of the orcs, powerless to do anything.
Countless powerful and brave orc warriors who survived the explosions and collapses howled as they rushed out of the city, but the flames on their bodies had already ignited their flesh, and then they were burned alive in the eyes of the remaining tens of thousands of orcs, until their flesh turned to ashes and their bones turned to charcoal.
Tens of thousands of orcs and the remaining mermen were silent at this moment, standing from late at night until dawn, watching the great city turn to ashes in the flames, burying all sins and glories, the intense heat still baking their hearts and bodies.
In their hearts, fear began to grow, fear spread, and confusion filled the hearts of every warrior.
...
"Reject me, reject your tolerant and merciful mother, is not a good choice, stubborn child,"
Tiamat's five heads stretched forward at the same time, each fierce head emitting anger, an invisible pressure was rapidly increasing, and the towering momentum oppressed Karon's spirit.
And also the irresistible power and the irresistible divine majesty.
"I have my own path to walk, merciful and tolerant mother,"
Karon's will resisted the powerful pressure, resisting this invisible pressure was dozens of times more difficult than taming his ancestral dragon blood, but it still could not shake his heart.
"Hehe, although I don't like losers, your outstanding talent makes me generously give you a second chance, Karon Goggmora, I look forward to it, before you step into death, when you are on the verge of death, pray to me, open your heart, offer your faith,"
The furious Tiamat regained her composure at this moment, her body was dissipating, and her consciousness was gradually moving away.
"By then, you will know how much your merciful mother favors you!"
Peace finally returned to the dragon's nest, the invisible pressure dissipated instantly, and in Karon's perception, the consciousness of the dragon god Tiamat had moved away.
Obviously, even if consciousness descended into the world of Akania, these gods would have to pay some price.
"Favor me? Hehe,"
Karon sneered in his heart. He had no intention of being Tiamat's thug. Although this meeting with Tiamat could be described as harmonious, Karon was unwilling to be controlled by others, even if the road he had to take was far more dangerous than imagined.
However, Tiamat generously shared a lot of information with him, which made his perception of this five-colored dragon god fairly normal, not as resistant as other dragons.
"Those mages are really crazy," Karon's consciousness regained its calm. The information he learned from Tiamat was far more than what Lapers, the white-haired old mage, a descendant of the ancient magic empire, knew.
The ancient magic empire kings actually used the characteristics of legendary mages and used the essence of the World Tree connecting the infinite multiverse as a tool to spread the cognitive essence of mages.
Through the real-world cognition constructed by thousands of legendary mages and hundreds of magic kings and demigod mages, they wanted to cover all living beings and worlds at the moment of connecting to the infinite world, creating the ideal homeland in the hearts of mages, the only true source world.
They wanted to use this to collectively become gods, and then complete a greater goal.
This was the information that Karon guessed from Tiamat's words. Although it was not necessarily accurate, it would not deviate too much. Even Karon's firm will could not help but sigh at the madness of those mages.
