Beoranz Lineage agreed to Ferrum's meeting request, but did not invite him in Riverrun.
Giant Dragon does not need weapons, it is a walking disaster in itself. At the same level, the damage that dragons can cause is far beyond imagination.
A Legendary Dragon can easily burn down a city. Even if a legendary warrior can defeat a Giant Dragon, it will take an unknown amount of time to cause the same damage.
No matter what reason Nether Dragon comes with, Beoranz Lineage will not let him get close to the city easily to avoid causing trouble.
For Ferrum, the outpost does not need to feel the pressure of the army, and it can be regarded as a safe boundary.
feel satisfied.
After the caster simply constructed the scene, the southern leader of the Conquest Legion and Warden of the Southern Marches of the Tagoma Kingdom completed the meeting.
"Good day, True Dragon from the wilderness, I am Riwen·Beoranz."
"Good day."
Ferrum looked at Duke Riwen in front of him. He had short gray hair, a cold and tough face, and dark red rune armor under his wide cloak.
He doesn't look like the stereotype of a great aristocrat who sits in his chair and languishes. Instead, he looks like a battle-hardened general.
That's right, only such a father can raise a daughter like thorns and roses.
Olysia followed behind Riwen. She was wearing a cloak and armor. Her eyes briefly crossed with Ferrum's and then moved away.
When she was captured, she acted very bravely. Even when she was alone in private, she dared to look directly into Ferrum's eyes and look into those golden eyes, but now she looked away.
"In normal interactions, it is not polite to look someone in the eye."
Olysia thought.
Since the father is human, Lya's mother is High Elf. Ferrum looked away, but unfortunately the other party did not appear here.
"My daughter and the captured knight have returned, unharmed, and I should thank you for this."
Riwen said in a steady voice, "Beoranz will receive you with the courtesy of a messenger, but I advise you to say what you just said after you get Eagle's Nest City, otherwise my soldiers will know about it and may ask me to give them a chance to prove themselves immediately."
Previously, Ferrum claimed to be his master in front of the giant eagle warriors, and his words had obviously reached the ears of Warden of the Southern Marches.
"That's not what I meant."
Ferrum sneered lowly, "The Duke only has one daughter. I am Lya's future husband. Am I not the future owner of Southern Territories?"
"I'm not dead yet. Olysia is still just the heir of Beoranz Lineage. I don't have the qualifications to call myself the master, let alone her husband."
Riwen said expressionlessly, "You are brave enough to dare to step into the land of Southern Territories alone. Aren't you afraid that I will order someone to kill you?"
Ferrum glanced at Olysia: "Lya will protect me, just like I protect her in my territory, right?"
Olysia said nothing.
Duke Riwen silently clenched his fingers, the veins on the back of his hands beating.
Ferrum's behavior was too frivolous and presumptuous, which was undoubtedly a humiliation for him. What made him even more angry was that Olysia actually didn't scold the other party to draw a clear line. Judging from his previous behavior, his daughter, Little Rose, might really have some special feelings for this dragon.
At this moment, Riwen almost wanted to summon Divine Descent.
"Okay, let's stop here if we want to get closer."
Ferrum changed the subject. "I hope Beoranz Lineage can accept the covenant, so that after the war, Southern Territories can still maintain independence, and Tagoma Kingdom can accept conquest in a relatively gentle way."
"Is this your condition?"
Riwen narrowed his eyes, his face remained calm, and he was even more angry. "I said before that you were very courageous, but I didn't expect that dragons are so arrogant and conceited."
"I am Heavy-Metal Dragon, and this will not change. Heavy-Metal Dragon likes to speak straightforwardly."
Ferrum said, "The reason why I came here is because I just met my mother Zane·Mellon. She explained Giant Dragon's war plan to me. I was very anxious, so I couldn't wait."
"Anxious?"
"Anxious."
Ferrum confirmed this wording. "I promised her that I would be able to get Southern Territories's support, and asked you to stand still and make her agree to go back with me to deal with Greyhawk City's enemies. People, otherwise, Giant Dragon will unite their forces under her order, march straight in to attack Capital of Tagoma, and destroy your Royal Family."
Duke Riwen raised his eyes. "Is this a threat of another nature?"
"Let me finish."
Ferrum signaled him to be calm. "If Royal Family of Tagoma is eliminated and Capital is occupied, the overall situation of War of Conquest will basically be decided. The follow-up is just the finishing work for us, so Zane will launch this tactic, regardless of casualties and costs, and use this battle to determine the outcome of the war."
"Conquering Tagoma Kingdom, isn't that what you have always done?"
"Yes, but in that way, Zane conquered Tagoma Kingdom, not me."
Ferrum took a deep breath, lowered his gaze and looked at Duke Riwen, with a slightly frightening expression on his face. "Do you understand what I mean?"
"Do you understand?"
Duke Riwen turned to his daughter and asked.
Olysia shook his head.
"What he means is that there are factions and struggles within dragons, and they are not a monolith." Riwen explained.
"The former is correct and the latter is wrong."
Ferrum said, "We can die for each other. To you, we are just a piece of iron. But dragons and dragons have different beliefs. Zane is my mother. Many times I have to obey her orders. But after conquering Tagoma, she is bound to become Dragon King. For other family members, this is not what we want to see."
Ferrum is worried.
If the family conquers Tagoma, the next step is to establish Dragon Kingdom. As the war commander, Zane will inevitably become Dragon King with great power and prestige. This is something that everyone knows well.
The Veloa leader couldn't stop this. She knew very well that after the family agreed to attack Tagoma for the sake of profit, she couldn't stop it.
But before the army set out, she tried her best to win a power for Ferrum. As the leader of the legion, she could resist Zane's orders and conquer freely with the help of her family's troops.
"I don't want Zane to get too much, but I hope you get as much as possible."
These are the original words of Veloa.
The Great Dragons of the family did not arrange additional tasks and burdens for Ferrum, but Ferrum could feel their expectations. They hoped that the new generation of dragons could do their best to grow in this conquest to fight against the arrogant Black Lake lord who oppressed the ethnic group.
If he wants to surpass Zane in terms of individual strength, the teenage Ferrum can't do it, but he can find ways to gather the power in his hands and strive to have the right to speak against Zane at the end of this war.
Therefore, Ferrum has been reorganizing the army, agreeing to an alliance with Apostle of Tempus, and wooing the great noble Beoranz of Tagoma Southern Territories, all in order to obtain more power and support with less loss.
He wants to be Dragon King.
"If you establish a kingdom, Veloa will definitely not agree with Zane becoming Dragon King. On the other hand, Zane will definitely not agree with Veloa. So can you talk to the mothers and ask them to support you and become the king of Juvenile Dragon. Although it is just a name, it is quite majestic when you think about it."
Moqi didn't know that his casual joke had become the ultimate goal that Ferrum was striving for.
Although it is just a name, that name is more precious than anything else.
There is an old saying in the country where Ferrum lived in his previous life, "Only names and tools cannot be faked."
It means that only fame and the army cannot be borrowed from others. If Zane gets Dragon King's fame and family's army, coupled with her own strength, no one knows what she will do in the future.
However, judging from Zane's usual rule, the entire family will be evaporated by the fire and reduced to the same situation as Black Lake.
On the other hand, Zane, who has a name and a weapon, has reached the pinnacle. It is already difficult for Ferrum to get her again. He can only be his son for another forty years.
