Ferrum did not hold on to Olysia as a bargaining chip. After the proposal, he simply accepted the ransom and returned the prisoner.
As for the armistice and alliance marriage issues, they will be left to the next negotiation between the two parties.
Then he received a message from his family, asking Ferrum to go to Deepstone City to discuss the next war plan.
Ferrum did not shirk and set off immediately. After arriving, he directly entered Lord's Castle and met the leader of the Northern Group.
Zane·Mellon.
Zane is as arrogant and strong as ever. After capturing Deepstone City, he naturally occupied this landmark building and regarded other Giant Dragon as nothing, so much so that even the leader had no choice but to look elsewhere.
"I haven't seen you for fifteen days, and I feel like your demeanor is a little different. Has something happened that I don't know about?"
Humanoid Zane waved on Throne: "Come here."
Although Ferrum is becoming more and more famous in the south, when he returns to the family, in front of the Great Dragons, he can still only stay humble and obey orders obediently.
However, Ferrum can't be said to be resisting this. He is still just Juvenile Dragon and has not yet rebellious to that extent.
When he was young, Ferrum initially only received two pieces of Nether Iron. He originally thought that the road to evolution would be long in the future, and Zane would arrange various difficult tasks and transactions for him.
He even imagined the difficulty of obtaining the last piece of Nether Iron.
Unexpectedly, Zane was so straightforward that after a conversation, he handed over all the remaining Nether Iron to him.
This surprised Ferrum, and he also respected Zane a lot.
In fact, it seems that every Great Dragon in the family deserves respect.
"I heard about the war situation in the south. You did a good job and learned some of the essence of tactics. However, no matter what happens to you, you must listen to me."
Zane grabbed Nether Dragon's horns and forced him to look at her. "You promised me, didn't you?"
Ferrum can only answer, "Yes."
"Let's talk about military affairs first. Our next strategy is to abandon everything we have and directly attack Royal Domain to eliminate the Gilenstilna family of Tagoma."
Ze'e said, "After occupying Capital and the royal palace, the Tagoma country has ceased to exist in name only. Next, we will spend some time to make other humans our slaves and end this war."
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy."
Ferrum pondered for a moment, "Has mother discussed this strategy with other Giant Dragon lords?"
"There is no need to talk to them. The army is now under your control. They only need to finish the next battle and eliminate Tagoma's Royal Family regiment. Everything will fall into place from now on."
"No, no."
Ferrum shook his head. "There are still enemies behind us. The reason why the Greyhawk City enemy troops are not moving is because there are Golden Ear Agate in the southeast, Deep Rock in the north, and Sand City in the west. The enemy is worried about our encirclement, so they are afraid to leave the city wall to fight in the field. But if we continue to advance, the situation will be completely different."
"Hmm."
Zane stroked Ferrum's neck, his expression unchanged.
"The enemies of Westerlands will have a huge space for movement, continue to put pressure on us from the rear, and may even send troops to counterattack Sand City."
Ferrum said, "Sand City only has one Young Dragon and supply troops, which will never have the power to resist the enemy. By then, our connection with the rear will be severed."
"Then?"
"Then we will lose control of Lost Wilderness, and now that the wilderness is so empty, we may even lose our own homeland."
"So what?"
Zane didn't take it seriously. "Tagoma Royal Domain alone has more wealth and resources than the drained wilderness. Let's use this land to support ourselves, build an army ten times larger than before, and then take back the wilderness after Tagoma is wiped out."
"The clans that are truly loyal to us are all in the wilderness, and the relatives of the soldiers are also in the wilderness. Neither the soldiers nor the families agree with this strategy."
Ferrum took a step back and lowered his head. "I ask mother to reconsider."
Zane narrowed her eyes. She knew there might be obstacles to implementing this strategy, so she summoned Ferrum for a secret discussion. Unexpectedly, she encountered a setback in the first step. It seemed that if she wanted to complete her plan, she had to convince this rebellious little guy first.
Zane stood up, showing the face of Legendary Dragon.
Nether Dragon sighed quietly in his heart.
"Bloodline Call is calling me back to the Burning Legion." Zane's voice suddenly changed.
Ferrum was startled, inexplicably strange.
"Bloodline Call is calling me back Burning Legion."
Zane repeated these words. The sudden change made her voice almost roar, and huge power and power filled the palace of Deepstone City, rumbling like thunder deep in the dark clouds.
"Get out of the way!"
Unimaginable changes happened to Legendary Dragon. Her iron-hard scales cracked from the inside out, and hot blood dripped out, burning the floor like lava.
"After the legend, the gravity of Bloodline Call is increasing..."
The voices of Zane overlapped one after another. She dragged her heavy body and drank all the mead next to Throne, but she still felt it was not enough. She crushed the wine barrels piled in the corner of the palace one after another and swallowed them all.
Ferrum backed away alertly, looking at Zane's face. Her visor was peeling off, and she looked as ferocious as Demons, with a violent cold light dancing in her vertical eyes.
Legendary Dragon lowered her back hard, Blood Frenzy a wild and fishy breath overflowed from her body, burning and extinguishing like a flame.
Ferrum could feel her struggle. He had always felt that Zane was as arrogant as Demons, but at this moment, it seemed as if a Demons was about to be torn out of her body.
"No."
Zane shook his head vigorously. "I need something that can stabilize the bloodline, Ferrum, give it to me."
Ferrum hesitated, not knowing what Zane was going to do.
"Quick! Once you lose control, you will be the first to die."
Zane roared, she did not pounce on Ferrum, but called him over because she could no longer control herself. If she acted arbitrarily, the legendary power would be enough to kill him in an instant.
Ferrum obviously realized this, so he no longer hesitated and immediately stepped forward. "What do you want me to do?"
"Cut your claw arms."
Ferrum cut the claw arm as instructed, and the claw toes and scales collided, creating bright sparks.
"I want your blood, Archaic Species's blood."
Zane actually broke his limbs forcibly so that he could stay quiet, "Feed me."
Her voice was muffled, and lava flowed from her neck.
Ferrum poured blood into her mouth.
"Not enough, not enough."
Zane said, "I need more, more."
Ferrum opened the second wound. The dragon was not afraid of pain, but as time passed, the massive blood loss made him feel slightly dizzy and weak. At the same time, his Burning Heart ability was activated, and the strong dragon heart beat rumblingly, squeezing out more vital blood.
After a long time, Zane's condition began to improve.
Ferrum cuts the third wound, double Blood Frenzy.
If it were an ordinary dragon, even Archaic Species would have died a long time ago if he was bleeding like this. However, his newly acquired abilities showed unimaginable power at this moment, allowing Nether Dragon to stand stubbornly and firmly, and continue to transfuse blood.
After an unknown amount of time, the violent aura finally disappeared, and the Deepstone City palace became quiet, leaving only the sound of heavy breathing.
