"By the way, there is one more thing to add."
When Garos talked about Permafrost Tundra's situation, Iron Dragon Sorog reported solemnly, "Dawn Tribe and Ironblood Tribe's defeated soldiers fled to the north. I have sent ground troops and Wyvern knights to pursue them."
"These broken troops dispersed into several small groups, and we annihilated some of them during the pursuit."
"However, a small number still managed to escape into the hinterland of the northern ice sheet. Considering the terrain restrictions, I ordered the ground troops to withdraw, leaving only Wyvern to continue the pursuit mission and continue to pursue Permafrost Tundra."
At this point, Sorog's voice paused slightly, and then he lowered his voice and continued, "The pursuit after this was not smooth. Of the three Wyvern that originally entered the ice field, only one returned safely."
"According to the description of the surviving Wyvern, they did catch up with a larger fleeing team."
"However, when fighting those wild Barbarianss, a group of Northern Barbarianss suddenly appeared. They chose to support and cooperate with the escapees to launch a surprise attack on us. As a result, two Wyverns fell on the spot, and only one escaped with injuries."
After listening to Sorog's report, Red Iron Dragon Garos's scaly forehead wrinkled slightly, and the light of thought flashed in his vertical pupils.
The Borderlands area is located at the junction of Permafrost Tundra and Ser Wilderness. As a buffer zone between the two areas, the geographical location here is very special, and it is a zone where neither area can be ignored.
Ser Wilderness The main threat comes from the Federation garrison, which hangs like a giant sword over the heads of all monsters.
Permafrost Tundra is dominated by the two dangerous groups of barbarians and Giant.
Barbarians is a unique race, they are fundamentally different from humans and Orc.
Although similar in appearance to humans, from a biological perspective, they are humanoid creatures rather than close relatives or branches of humans.
Unlike humans and Orc who need to change jobs the day after tomorrow, Barbarians can often naturally awaken their violent talents. This innate ability allows them to directly transform their anger into combat power.
One explanation for the origin of the name of the "Wild Barbarians" path in the career system is that it is derived from the characteristics of the Barbarians race.
In the early stages of tribe development, the Barbarians tribe often experienced many development difficulties due to the difficulty of maintaining sanity in a violent state.
But when the tribe expands to a certain extent, as the number of warlocks, Shaman and other Spellcaster increases, especially when outstanding leaders who can balance anger and reason appear, the Barbarians tribe will transform into a formidable existence, powerful enough to compete with Permafrost Tundra and Frost Giant.
"Battlecry Tribe and Frost Giant on Permafrost Tundra."
"Not only are they large in scale, they also have a profound foundation, and their overall strength is comparable to large principalities in the human world."
"The war between these two major forces has been going on for a long time, and there is still no winner yet."
Red Iron Dragon silently analyzed the situation in his heart.
The reason why he was able to gain a foothold in Borderlands and claim the title of king was largely due to the special Groundlings political environment: the Federation garrison adopted a laissez-faire attitude towards this buffer zone, and the tribes in the North only regarded this place as a strategic buffer zone, and the tribes that originally occupied this place were not worth mentioning in their eyes.
It is against this background.
The rise of the Molten Iron Tribe unified Borderlands and turned this buffer zone into a potential threat. According to common sense, it will inevitably attract hostility and suppression from the northern forces.
The reason why we are at peace now.
It's because Barbarians and Giant of Permafrost Tundra are trapped in the quagmire of war, constraining each other, and have no time to take into account the changes in Borderlands.
However.
Once these two major forces cease fighting and negotiate peace,
When they find that the strategic buffer zone between themselves and Federation is completely controlled by the Molten Iron Tribe, they will inevitably attack with thunder, and with the Molten Iron Tribe's current strength, it is impossible to withstand the joint attack of Barbarians and Giant.
The reason is simple - these two major forces have Legendary Realm-level leaders in charge.
Garos, the title of King of the Borderlands, is actually not stable. Molten Iron Tribe just seized the opportunity to rise in the cracks of various forces. Compared with those real behemoths, there is still a huge gap.
"Borderlands is only a transitional stage after all. I must take advantage of the window period before the war in the North is over to complete the strategic layout of returning to Ser Wilderness as soon as possible."
Red Iron Dragon felt a sense of urgency in his heart, but he did not feel panic.
The more powerful forces are evenly matched, the longer the war will last, making it difficult to determine the outcome in a short period of time.
At present, neither Barbarians nor Giant is determined to make a desperate move. Although small-scale conflicts continue, there is no decisive battle of life and death. Unless major changes occur, this war is likely to continue for a long time.
This buys valuable time for the development of Garos.
"If you think about it carefully, I took advantage of the resumption of war in the North to successfully seize the rule of Borderlands."
"Now we plan to return to Ser Wilderness, also because the civil strife in Federation is about to break out, and the war is about to break out."
"In troubled times, the more chaotic the situation, the more conducive it is for 'Evil Dragon' like me to develop and grow."
Red Iron Dragon looks up at the vast and boundless sky.
A breeze blew the dead leaves around him, and a few fallen leaves gently fell on the black and silver dragon scales. He took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that the depression in his chest was swept away.
In times of peace and prosperity.
A mixed-race Red Iron Dragon like him, who was born with the label of evil and suffered discrimination, will be attacked by all parties if he shows his talents, so he can only live in hiding.
But now, times have changed.
Fight!
Let's go to war!
Let the war burn even more fiercely!
Let the strife never end!
Only in this way can he seize chestnuts from the fire in troubled times and achieve true rise.
At this time, Iron Dragon Sorog suggested. "I plan to add more secret sentries and scouts on the northern border near the ice sheet, and equip them with advanced communication equipment. This way, once traces of Barbarians or Giant are discovered, we can get early warning as soon as possible."
Red Iron Dragon spurts out a searing heat Dragon Breath, and is immersed in the exchange of ideas through Blood Kinship Link.
After careful consideration, he responded, "Rather than being passively defensive, I prefer a proactive strategy."
"Sorog, we do need to establish an early warning system on the northern border, but at the same time we also need to send elite troops deep into Permafrost Tundra to collect intelligence."
"In this way, if there is a major change in the tundra area, we will be informed in advance and prepare early."
The war at Borderlands is now over.
Molten Iron Tribe has just the right talent within it to perform this type of penetration task.
As early as the Ser Wilderness period, Molten Iron Clan began to systematically cultivate the loyalty of members and consolidate its rule by promoting the greatness of Lord of Crimson Wings and the kindness of the tribe.
Don't always ask what the tribe can do for you, think more about what you can contribute to the tribe!
Loyalty! Dedicate absolute loyalty to the great Lord of Crimson Wings!
The tribe's kindness is not over yet!
--Similar concepts, after long-term and subtle indoctrination, now a large number of fanatics have emerged among the new generation of family members who swear allegiance to the Molten Iron Tribe and worship Lord of Crimson Wings, among which the Kobold group is the most prominent.
After careful consideration, Sorog decided to select elites from these loyal elements for special training.
Then.
Secretly dispatch them to the ice field area to try to contact Barbarians and Frost Giant as spies or undercover agents. If they cannot directly penetrate these two forces, they can also fall back and obtain information from other northern races.
He reported this plan to Garos, and it was quickly approved and recognized.
Immediately afterwards, Garos unfolded its pair of red dragon wings and soared into the sky.
As for the way Giant Deer Beast and its territory are dealt with, it is exactly the same as when White Tiger was previously conquered: Molten Iron Tribe sends guards to take over, while Monster Lord is allowed to continue to live in the same place, but must always be at the disposal of the tribe and fight for the tribe.
With the surrender of the last Monster Lord.
The last piece of the puzzle fell into place, and Molten Iron Tribe finally completed full control of Borderlands, with only one exception - that Abyssal Rift.
A few days later.
A cold current from the ice sheet invaded Borderlands, and heavy snow fell one after another, quickly covering the vast land with silver.
On Fertile Plain southwest of Borderlands,
White Dragon Tressie and Half-Blood Centaur Elvie led elite troops to build a tight defense line with Abyssal Rift as the center, guarding this dangerous area day and night.
For a long time.
Due to the limitation of the scale of the space channel, what emerges from the cracks are mostly low-level Demon such as Quasit, Primal Demon, Mane, and occasionally elite Demon. It is no match for White Dragon's cooperation with the Centaur leader, and will soon be eliminated and turned into precious Abyss materials. Through the Gem Merchants' Guild's trade network, it has brought considerable profits to the Molten Iron Tribe.
