Under the Red Dragon

A massive passenger airship filled with powerful warriors and several 'high-level mages' slowly descended onto the coast in front of the ogre tribe's camp. Orso had been waiting with his guards for a long time; the forces supporting him had finally arrived, his plan would soon be put into action, and a successful life was constantly beckoning him.

He wasn't surprised that the reinforcements had arrived so quickly. These high-ranking mages from the Higher Mage Association already possessed the ability to erect teleportation gates at will, provided they had sufficient time and coordinate guidance.

However, when Orso saw the first person stepping off the airship, he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Will, what are you doing here?"

Will Clarence, like Orso Clarence, came from the same family. However, compared to Orso's awkward position as the leader of a family-affiliated merchant group from a remote branch, Will's status was much higher.

He was the future master of the Clarence family and its current pillar, the eldest son of the Canaan Empire's finance officer. He was also a very powerful warrior himself, so he had many vassals within the family.

Will Clarence's tall frame was quite robust. He glanced at the servant warrior who had been loyal to Orso but was now hiding behind him, and chuckled, "Why can't it be me? Buni already reported your discovery of the young dragon cluster to me. This is an extremely important opportunity for the family, and the family will have a chance to take a step further because of it. Don't worry, Orso, the family won't underestimate those who have contributed. I will reward you."

Orso knew that Buni, who had been loyal to him, had chosen the more powerful Will, and his plans had essentially fallen through. However, he still used his eyes to question the Laxus mage beside him, if the Laxus mage could unite those mages, he might still have room to compete with Will for the leadership of the plan.

Laxus understood Orso's meaning; after being companions for many years, they had sufficient tacit understanding. But he understood mages even better. These mages only looked at benefits, and Orso, with his relatively low strength and status, couldn't offer better bargaining chips than Will Clarence, so he shook his head.

Therefore, Orso quickly put on a smile and greeted Will, grabbing Will's hand, who looked down at him, and said with a smile, "Your arrival is really timely, Will. I happen to have a plan that might be able to give you some reference."

"Barg, you are truly a loyal kobold," the blue dragon Dos said, looking down at the short kobold. After the cataclysm in Dragon Nest Canyon, the kobolds, who had no one to rely on, quietly moved back to their burrows in the plains under the leadership of their chief, Barg, and found the young dragons who dared not approach the Dragon Nest due to fear of the ogre giants' mysterious power.

Strangely enough, the kobolds who submitted to the rule of dragons seemed to have a natural inclination to support dragons. It seemed that there was some kind of setting in their nature and bloodline.

Once a kobold became a dragon's minion, it would no longer bow to any other power. Even in the face of destruction, it would only run away, although these kobolds often ran faster than rabbits.

These days, the young dragons had been relying on Barg to lead his kobolds to explore the Dragon Nest Mountains for news, and now the kobold Barg had brought a piece of good news that invigorated the dragon's heart.

"I found two blue dragons and a white dragon in the Dragon Nest, but I didn't find Lord Kalon. Because I didn't dare to get too close, I came back without seeing the specific situation clearly." Barg was obviously a little frustrated. In his heart, that beautiful and strong red dragon was his master.

Perhaps because of the kobold's rare loyalty, the red dragon Kleineria actually comforted the kobold Barg, "Don't worry, Kalon is smarter and stronger than all of us. Even if he hasn't returned to the Dragon Nest for the time being, he may be hiding somewhere."

The young dragons watched Barg retreat, and they all focused their attention on the blue dragon. The stable blue dragon was obviously the dragon that the young dragons relied on to make decisions now.

The white dragon Camid had already stepped forward. Although there wasn't much obvious emotional expression among dragons like humans, Camid still had some concern as the brother of the white dragon Gamot. "Do you want to go back and take a look, Dos? It seems that Lady Calite brought Akxz and Gamot back with her. We should go and understand the situation."

Antagena and Rosani, who hadn't spoken, were also looking at Dos with expectant eyes. Without the protection of the Dragon Nest these days, these young dragons didn't even dare to completely close their eyes when sleeping. The slightest disturbance would alarm them, like a timid herd of beasts on the prairie. They had really had enough of such days and missed the sense of security they had in the Dragon Nest.

Dos also agreed, "Let's go back and take a look. With Calite and Akxz here, as long as we are careful, we don't have to be afraid even if those ogres come back again."

The young dragons flew into the sky, eagerly flying towards the Dragon Nest like wanderers who had been away from home for a long time.

The blue dragon Calite lay obediently in the canyon that was originally the young dragons' nest, pretending to be lazily sunbathing. Beside her were equal-scale illusions of Gamot and Akxz, the work of human mages.

Although those humans who looked very fragile and could be slapped to death with a claw were hiding in the shadows next to her, the magic restriction prevented her from having any extra thoughts.

Although she might face the choice of betraying her own kind, she would not feel guilty about it. In fact, the vast majority of chromatic dragons behaved in accordance with the survival rules of jungle beasts, that is, harming others to benefit themselves.

She only hoped that those humans could abide by their promise and let her leave after the matter was completed. As for those young dragons, although it was a pity, she didn't care. As long as she had time, she could re-hatch a new batch of young dragons.

The sound of dragon wings flapping came from the sky. The characteristics were so obvious. Each time the dragon's wings, supported by magic, made a long and powerful flapping motion with a long interval, it would make a sound like a huge tarpaulin being agitated in a strong wind. Calite raised her head. Those were indeed the young dragons in the family, hovering quite vigilantly in the high sky, looking down.

Will Clarence, who was hiding in the magic array in the shadows with the mages, signaled, and the mages immediately urged their magic power, activating the restriction on the blue dragon's soul. Calite immediately let out a long dragon roar, and she issued a summons to the young dragons.

The young dragons roared and came. They did not suspect that this was a trap. The young dragons, who were only slightly better than magic idiots, could not detect the methods of the high mages from the Cathay Empire. They naturally stepped into this encirclement.

When the young dragons discovered the warriors and mages who appeared from the shadow magic array, they realized that they had been fished. Just like Kalon liked to use straight hooks to fish, these young dragons had now become hooked fish. Once the anti-air magic array was activated, they were like fish on the shore.

"You actually betrayed us, Calite!" Kleineria's anger turned into flames and pounced towards those seemingly weak mages. The other young dragons also pounced up, they didn't want to be captured without resistance.

However, the warriors present were all elites drawn by Will from the family. They had all awakened their own power seeds and entered the extraordinary stage, with an average level of four or five. Extraordinary warriors.

Will himself was an eleventh-level high-level warrior. Although he was still far from the Saint Domain after the sixteenth level, with Will's ability, he could even be a legion commander in the empire's army.

The young dragons, who were deprived of their magic power and flying ability, were bombarded by fireballs and ice covering the ground before they even got close to the mages' shields.

The warriors ambushed from behind, and the grappling chains they threw passed through the young dragons' limbs and wings, dragging the young dragons back. Then, the pentagram magic arrays under the mages' feet activated, and large nets specially used to bind dragons trapped the young dragons.

"Great," Will's excitement was beyond words. His golden hair waved uncontrollably under the power surging in his body, "With such merit, even my father will look at me with admiration."

He turned his head and made a solemn promise to his warriors, "Next, as long as we wait here like guarding a tree stump for that red dragon to crash in like a rabbit, and when we successfully capture him, each of you will receive gold coins equal to your weight when you go back."

"Not good, not good," an invisible figure suddenly appeared from the forest above the canyon. The pixie Raven, dressed in a green petal fairy dress, seemed to be integrated with the green forest. The little pixie Raven frowned tightly and muttered to herself, "Dos and those idiots have been caught by humans, I have to tell Kalon, but Kalon, where did you run off to?"
