Quenching Heights, Ogre camp.
When the time came to early morning, the dark sky slowly lit up, and a touch of fish belly white appeared in the sky. Kalu arrived with the elite troops of Bone-Chewer Warband.
"Kalu, take the warriors of Bone-Chewer Warband and set off to the north to defeat a Iron Dragon and fight for me."
Garos calmly gave the order.
"My lord, Bone-Chewing Ogre will crush your enemies and bite their bones to pieces for you."
After chewing up the last piece of meat bone in his mouth and eating it, Kalu said angrily.
"No need to be so cruel."
Garos said with a smile, "Your mission is to capture Iron Dragon alive as much as possible, and then bring it to me."
"Aren't you going to take action?"
Kalu was stunned for a moment and asked.
"No, this is a test for Bone-Chewer Warband, an exercise for you as the leader of the legion."
Garos said.
Kalu nodded heavily.
Immediately afterwards, this Dragon-veined Glutton Demon picked up a shiny and thick mace and called on the Ogres to gather and prepare to march.
The main body of its mace is made of metal casting, with some diamond-like shining tines inlaid on the surface.
These things are formed by polishing the debris of Diamond Giant's remains. They are extremely hard and sharp. With the strength of Kalu, it can break the defense of Garos.
Let's take a closer look at Ogre's weapons.
More than just Kalu.
The axes, war hammers and other weapons of some big Ogre bosses also have a little sparkle.
After defeating Diamond Giant, Garos gave one of its arms as a reward to Bone-Chewer Warband, and some fragmentary remains as rewards to other groups.
Most of them are used to create weapons.
Led by Kalu and assisted by two deputies, Ugo and the two-headed warlock, Bone-Chewer Warband quickly completed the integration and set off towards Shingle Beach with a few Gnoll captives to guide them.
Garos is flying high in the sky, following behind.
Shingle Beach.
The boy Iron Dragon Sorog was living in the Dragon Lair cave at the bottom of the river, feeling vaguely uneasy.
Gnoll scouts were all stranded in Quenching Heights. They did not return within the normal time and there was no news. It is suspected that something went wrong.
Sorog flicked his tail and wrinkled the dragon skin on his eyes.
"The red comet that landed on the high ground a few days ago must be unusual."
Its intuition is keen and it realizes that Quenching Heights must have undergone some changes, but it is not clear what they are.
"Go to Giant camp to investigate in person?"
"No, this is too dangerous. The king should not put himself in danger. If my existence is exposed and Giant is exposed, I will not be able to defend Shingle Beach. The territory I have managed over the years will have no choice but to give up."
Iron Dragon Suddenly his eyes narrowed.
"The problem is, I've probably been exposed."
"We cannot expect Gnoll to be able to keep secrets under the threat of death. He would rather die than surrender."
Now before Sorog, there are two choices.
One is to stay and hope that Giant will not discover its existence and continue to be neighbors with Stone Giant.
The second is to move immediately and wait until he becomes stronger in the future to avenge his shame.
Sorog was struggling internally.
It is ambitious and has the grand ambition to establish the Dragonkin empire, and although it has the arrogance and arrogance of Dragonkin, it knows how to learn from experience and lessons. In these years of wilderness life, it has learned to tolerate its minions.
In order to realize one's ambition.
In the face of dangers that are difficult to contend with, it will choose to avoid the edge temporarily.
After hesitating for two or three seconds, Sorog's eyes became firm and he was ready to take his family members to migrate.
It seems a bit shameful to be scared away by Stone Giant before even fighting.
In fact, Sorog also felt shame, but it did not decide to fight Stone Giant to the death because of this. Instead, it deeply remembered the shame and turned it into motivation to spur itself.
"Damn Stone Giant!"
"The great Iron King will come back sooner or later and smash you all into pieces!"
It thought to itself, then took its few possessions, climbed out of the cave at the bottom of the river, and summoned the Gnoll and Kobold leaders of the Steel Clan.
These dependents had different clan names before.
After Sorog gained their allegiance, according to the knowledge in the Prince, he allowed them to cancel the clan divisions and integrate them into the Steel Clan.
And after the integration into the Steel Clan.
These humble and insignificant creatures seemed to have some hope in their hearts and became more positive than before.
Sorog often studies the Prince knowledge and admires Iron Dragon's ancestor who wrote the Prince. At the same time, he follows his example and hopes to one day establish an empire ruled by Iron Dragon.
"Whether I climb to the top of a mountain or fall into a deep valley, I have benefited a lot from it!"
Sorog chewed on an ancestor's autobiography in the Prince and watched his family members gradually gather in front of him.
suddenly.
There was a slight tremor on the ground.
Neither Gnoll nor Kobold noticed it.
But Iron Dragon sensed it.
It focused its gaze and looked south.
A group of Ogre ran on the ground with heavy steps, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
They are numerous in number, well-equipped, and physically strong. There is no way Gnoll and Kobold under Sorog can compete with them.
The worst thing is.
They rush straight in the direction where they are, with a clear goal.
"Stone Giant's family?!"
"It came so quickly."
Ogre is often loyal to Giant. When he first saw these Ogre, Sorog judged them based on the experience in the inheritance and thought that they were the Familia Legion from the Giant camp.
It looked nervously at the ground behind it, and then breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately.
Stone Giant did not come.
However, even these Ogre legions are not simple.
When he saw the Ogre legions coming like a black tide, Sorog immediately realized that they would definitely lose in a head-on fight. Moreover, the Ogres were tall and could charge in a straight line very quickly. If they were not stopped and were overtaken directly, their entire family would probably be annihilated.
It quickly observes its surroundings.
Rapid rivers, soft beaches, and dense reeds. A simple interception plan took shape in its mind.
Sorog itself hovered in mid-air, allowing Gnoll to quickly cross the river. At the same time, it ordered Kobold to use their digging talents to dig hidden pits in the shallow areas of the river.
Soon after.
Ogre's vanguard troops arrived and began to pursue across the river.
Their bodies were huge and heavy. When they stepped into the pits, most of their bodies sank in, severely hampering their movement. Ogre, who crossed the river directly without stepping into the pits, was also seriously delayed in his movement due to the strong current.
The reeds on the other side were suddenly pushed aside.
Whoosh!
Gnoll Rogue shot poisonous arrows, forcing Ogre to defend himself in waist-deep water, almost becoming a living target.
There are some Kobold warriors who are proficient in water lurking underwater, using special bone hooks to pull Ogre's leg armor.
While Ogre was being harassed by Gnoll's poisonous arrows, they specifically attacked Ogre's knee joints, causing three Ogre to fall due to joint injuries, and were rushed downstream to the sharp stone area by the turbulent current.
Young Iron Dragon also swooped in.
There is a ball of electric sparks brewing in its mouth, and it wants to spit out Electric Fire Breath at Ogre.
Boom!
A majestic figure shot into the air like a cannonball.
Sorog was shocked inwardly, waving his wings and flying high to avoid the attack, and at the same time he saw the figure clearly.
This is a Glutton Demon who is as tall as Giant, and has the characteristics of Dragon-Vein Creature all over its body. It has a strong aura belonging to the red dragon, and in its hand is a mace that shines with fine fragments of light.
