After Ferrum left, a crack opened in the thick stone door. Gax and Barloz returned to the hall. Their steps were very light because they were still frightened by the power and murderous intent they felt before.
Zane was still on top of Throne. She seemed to be in a good mood. She had changed her posture, almost lying down, and poured the mead into her mouth. The crystal wine flowed down her white neck, and her posture was a bit unsightly.
Gax and Barloz lowered their heads, not daring to look more.
That beautiful female body looks seductive and charming, but behind it is the ferocious and violent Legendary Dragon. In the previous war, Zane personally killed the Goliath Giant king Kronoa, and raised its head as his own Legendary Proof.
Kronoa is the most famous and powerful person of Bloodridge Tribes, second only to Mountain Titan in power. To this day, Zane's hunting is still the most outstanding achievement achieved by the family since the war against Bloodridge.
As time goes by, Gax and Barloz believe more and more that their mother can one day rival Taigo, and their awe and love for her are even greater than that of the family leader Taigo.
"Mother."
In the end, it was Barloz who spoke first. He was in Black Lake and was relatively familiar with Zane: "We are back."
"Hmm."
Zane said casually, "I called you back because I changed my mind. From now on, Ferrum·Solaxus will become the theater commander downstream of the Gray Sand River. You and the troops under your command will be at his disposal from now on."
Gax and Barloz were both a little surprised when they heard this.
"Mother, Ferrum came from Windsong Plateau, with only 700 people in hand, I brought 5,000 people, I..."
Gax hesitated and said that he admired Ferrum's power, but in his heart he only regarded Ferrum as a trustworthy friend and partner.
Now Zane suddenly ordered him to serve as Ferrum's subordinate. He relied on his identity and felt that it was unacceptable, but he found it difficult to say anything.
"Five thousand people?"
Zane moved his pupils and changed his posture. "You think that after Karajiege dies, you will be the new lord Gray Mountain, with thousands of dependents in your hands, so you are unwilling to succumb to others, right?"
Gax lowered his head and remained silent and did not answer, which was another form of acquiescence.
Zane didn't say anything, and with a flick of his hand, he pulled out a parchment roll out of thin air. The parchment unfolded in the air, staggered, and fell in front of Gax.
In the legendary realm, Heavy-Metal Dragon's spellcasting ability is no different from other dragons.
"This is..."
Gax glanced at it a few times and was slightly surprised. It recorded his recent actions, and the record was flashback along the timeline until Gax left Ochre Valley. Everything was down to the smallest detail and nothing was left out.
"Gray Mountain Lord Gax·Karajiege."
Zane asked leisurely, "After Diluntro died, Blackscale Clan and Rockgnaw Clan of Gray Mountain immediately rioted, intending to launch a rebellion and start a war with each other. How did you deal with this matter?"
Gax originally wanted to say that he immediately calmed down the fighting between the clans after sending out the guards, but at this moment Zane asked this question, it seems that this matter is not as simple as imagined.
He was too cautious to answer.
"Gray Mountain does not produce a lot of food. Ridgehold's support mainly comes from Streamlands. Can you clearly calculate the exchange of interests and do you know how to trade with Leighton in the future?"
Zane asked again.
Gax wrinkled the scales on his forehead and thought, Leighton is the adult Tungsten Dragon Lord, and it feels very oppressive to him.
"You don't want to be Ferrum's subordinate, so if I appoint you as the regional commander, can you convince Ferrum and Barloz to control the ground and Black Lake's troops?" Zane asked without giving time.
Gax fell completely silent. He came to the battle with anger. He only wanted to roar into Battlefield to fight, without any consideration for other things.
"So let's forget it."
Zane didn't take his reaction seriously and said casually, "Gray Mountain does not belong to you. You are too young and too weak to be respected by others. Ridgehold's guards and The Gray Mountain garrison surrendered to me as soon as Diluntro fell, and presented your intelligence trends, Gray Mountain's clan arrangement, and their hidden soldiers and property to Wilds."
"I understand, mother."
Gax lowered his head and signaled.
He was extremely smart, but was dazzled by a momentary desire for power. Looking back now, without his mother's instructions behind his back, he might not have been able to summon the Gray Mountain garrison at all.
Zane nodded slightly and glanced at Barloz who was silent. "You also have something to say?"
"Yes."
Barloz nodded vigorously. "My son does not want to be a subordinate of Ferrum, nor does he want to serve as a theater commander. He just wants to go to his own Battlefield."
"I heard that there are two Juvenile Dragons among the enemies. One is called Keluoluoli and the other is called Yuge. They are the best descendants of the Emerald Family and Storm Family respectively. Although Chromatic Dragon does not cherish his descendants, he will not leave them to his master Battlefield to die."
Barloz said, "I should have a high probability of meeting them on the edge Battlefield. My son wants to take a team of elite Gnoll to hunt and kill them to prove his ability and please his mother."
"It seems that the whip I received before was not in vain. What I said is quite courageous."
Zane said, "But this is a battle of life and death. What we are fighting for is the outcome of the entire war. What is determined is the life and death of Ashmark Lineage. As the leader of Black Lake's army, you should lead your troops, obey the family's strategy, and advance my plan, instead of going around looking for people to fight like a samurai."
Barloz raised his head and glanced at Zane on Throne.
The mother's condition is relatively stable, and he still has a chance to speak.
"My mother's arrangement is to make Ferrum the leader of the war zone, and put our lives and those of our men in the hands of Chrome Dragon."
After being quiet for a while, Barloz continued, "I dare not question my mother's decision, but I have some doubts in my heart. Ferrum, as Archaic Species, is certainly powerful. But among tens of thousands of Battlefield, his power is still insignificant. Mother has only seen Ferrum once, why do you believe that Chrome Dragon can command the battle?"
"He has that ability."
Zane replied lightly, "I once took away everything from Windsong Plateau and know the situation there very well. It is not easy for Ferrum to conquer Mountain Goblin and Bearfolk. He has proven his ability through war."
Adult Dragon sipped the mead and then continued:
"Including that little Mountain Dragon, I left it on purpose, letting Lord Gray Mountain take care of it as a test to hone future generations, and wait until you leave Ochre Valley to attack it."
Zane shook his head. "It's a pity that you can't stand alone. You are not considered a strong one among Hatchling Dragon. Even Veloa's son can't compete with you."
Gax bared his teeth slightly. In order to compete for the support and distribution of the family, Gray Mountain Black Lake and Red Tide Shoal have never been called harmonious.
But they are indeed not as good as the Ember Scar brothers. Putting aside the stupid Leijieduolei, Jelierion·Ember Scar and Hidorivi·Ember Scar are both very powerful and courageous Iron Dragon, and their development in Red Tide Shoal is also very good.
"Get along well with Ferrum. Although he is Chrome Dragon, when this war is over, you may want to call him brother."
Zane spoke calmly.
Gax and Barloz were startled.
After thinking for a moment, they understood the deep meaning of their mother's words.
Barloz originally admired Ferrum, but at this moment, for some reason, he suddenly felt great anger and hostility in his heart.
"I don't understand."
Barloz's tone was still respectful, but his voice became cold and low. "Ferrum took away Nether Iron. The son failed to stop it, so he deserved to be whipped. However, the mother did not punish Ferrum. Instead, she looked after him like this and asked us to call him brother. We..."
"Because you have disappointed me so much."
Zane interrupted coldly and showed no mercy, "I gave birth to you not because I have any love for you, but because I need more weapons to realize my aspirations and ambitions. But you are so mediocre that I can only give up on my expectations. If it weren't for the blood of purebred Iron Dragon, you wouldn't even be qualified to speak here."
The legendary power flowed silently, and Gax and Veloz could hardly stand.
Something is wrong.
Barloz knew that the conversation could not continue any longer, so he immediately changed his tone. "Don't be angry, mother, I'll pour you some wine."
"No need."
Zane closed his eyes and waved his hand. "Too much nonsense. My patience has been exhausted. Go where you should go."
The two little dragons had no choice but to retreat.
When they left the legion hall, they happened to hear Shen Long's footsteps approaching from far away, opened the fortress gate, and met the burly dragon shape head on.
Seeing that figure, Gax and Barloz breathed a sigh of relief and bowed their heads to show their closeness, "Master Nurturer."
Valyria·Burning Heart.
