One night passed, and it was already dawn, but the bloody smell in the canyon had not dissipated. With the gloomy sky, it looked quite desolate.
Hatchling Dragon dispersed. Ferrum and Moqi were fine. After a night's rest, their physical and mental strength had been restored and their bodies were relaxed.
Bido suffered serious injuries. All his membrane wings were cut off by the giant scorpion, his hind legs disappeared, and even his waist and abdomen were torn open, almost disemboweling him.
If any other creature had suffered such an injury, it would have bled to death long ago, with no way to survive.
But Bido is Nickel Dragon after all. Even the weakest dragon species in the group has Heavy-Metal Dragon's strong and tough vitality. As long as there is food and water to eat, he will probably recover after hibernating for a period of time.
Kेलaili also went dormant. The injury was nothing to him, but according to Cobalt-Blue Overlord, the long journey from Ochre Valley to Windsong Plateau was very hard for him. Now he has experienced such a dangerous and fierce battle. All his strength has been exhausted and he is very tired.
"It will take at least three months of stable dormancy before I can recover. I won't be able to do any strenuous activities in a short period of time."
Kेलaili said this at the time.
Of course Ferrum knew that this guy was just being lazy, but along the way, Hatchling Dragons all used Kेलaili as a beast of burden, piling whatever food supplies they had on Kेलaili. In addition, Cobalt Dragon's performance in the battle was impeccable. Kेलaili said he wanted to rest, and no one could refute it.
Therefore, Ferrum agreed.
When they first arrived, it was unrealistic to want to integrate Windsong Plateau in a drastic manner. Especially after experiencing a crisis, they felt that they should be cautious and prioritize gathering intelligence and proceed step by step.
In this way, the Hatchling Dragons established themselves in Windsong Plateau, and now this canyon settlement is their original habitat.
After the crisis, Savage Bone Clan also suffered a lot of casualties. Many wounded were piled up in the cave, and the air was filled with a strong smell of acid and blood.
When Ferrum walked into the cave, two old men were trying to drag a body out.
It was a seriously injured Mountain Goblin warrior. The bone stubble broken by the giant scorpion went straight into his internal organs. He had been screaming for a whole night, and he couldn't survive no matter what.
Others couldn't bear to see him suffer all the time, so they took the initiative to end his life with a bone knife.
Ferrum stepped aside and allowed them to drag the body away before walking up to Yazi.
The Mountain Goblin leader's expression was gloomy, partly because of the injuries on his body, and partly because although they had killed all the giant scorpions, they also killed many of their companions. For a small tribe like Savage Bone Clan, the price paid was very heavy.
"Savage Bone Clan There are still two thousand tribesmen and two hundred and seventy warriors with swords."
Seeing Ferrum approaching, Yazi forced himself to sit up and said, "I have given an order. The two thousand clan members, including myself, will all follow Ferrum·Solaxus and be loyal to Ferrum·Solaxus. They will obey your orders just like they obey mine."
Ferrum swung his tail, swept away the gravel and dust on the ground, and then sat down. "Why do you say it so strangely?"
"We have experienced the era of Lord Veloa, and we have also experienced the era of Lord Zane. In order to survive, Savage Bone Clan was forced to obey their orders, but did not follow them."
Yazi said, "What we long for is a truly powerful lord who can lead us, rather than Giant Dragon who treats us as slaves and livestock. What we long to see is not only strength, but also wisdom, character and ambition, so I repeatedly emphasized this name to the tribe. We do not follow Ashmark Lineage, only Ferrum·Solaxus."
Ferrum smiled, "You are saying this because I don't have much power in my hands, right?"
"The lord is still young now, but I believe he will be strong in the future. I also hope that Savage Bone Clan can become stronger together with the lord."
Yazi said, "Our settlement is not that vulnerable. When we were attacked before, I moved the sentries and soldiers to other places for refuge. Now we have strengthened the defense and surveillance nearby. The crisis caused by Armor-Splitting Scorpion will not happen again."
He paused and added, "At least, we won't be trapped in the canyon again."
"I came here just to discuss this matter with you."
Ferrum whispered, "Windsong Plateau is not dead. No matter what, there should not be such a large number of Aberrant Monster here."
Although Ferrum doesn't know the situation of Windsong Plateau, after a moment's thought, he can notice something fishy. If the canyon was frequently attacked on such a scale, Savage Bone Clan would not be able to survive here and would have been exterminated by Aberrant Monster long ago.
"Armor-Splitting Scorpion comes from the Mistveil Mountains, where Aberrant Monster is rampant. However, they also know that this is the territory of Ashmark Lineage. The dragon power of Lord Veloa and Lord Zane is still there. Even Aberrant Monster with a little bit of wisdom dare not step in easily."
Yazi's face was gloomy. "We are still a long way from the border. After Armor-Splitting Scorpion entered the country, they did not scatter to hunt. Instead, they rushed straight to the canyon settlement. It was obviously an organized and directed action. Maybe the scorpion group had been preparing for a long time and wanted to drive Mountain Goblin away."
"Do you have any clear enemies in the Mistveil Mountains?" Ferrum asked.
Yazi thought for a moment, "We don't have enough strength to go deep into the mountains. We just patrol the border and hunt some Aberrant Monster and wild beasts. We can't say we are enemies."
"So, these Armor-Splitting Scorpion are here for Hatchling Dragon, right?" Ferrum said.
Yazi was startled for a moment, then nodded slightly. In fact, he had been thinking this way from the beginning, but he just couldn't say it out loud.
After all, Mountain Goblin is still a subordinate. Saying such words is suspected of blaming and instigating Hatchling Dragon. Back then, Lord Zane had many servants executed for talking nonsense among his family members.
However, since Ferrum took the initiative to talk, Yazi took advantage of the situation and continued, "If the scorpion group wants to cull Hatchling Dragon, it must first grasp the movements of Hatchling Dragon. This information cannot be obtained by Armor-Splitting Scorpion. They are in the Mistveil Mountains and cannot see that far, so..."
"So, there are local clans from Windsong Plateau participating."
Ferrum said.
This was the idea of Hatchling Dragon. The first time the giant scorpion appeared, they subconsciously thought they had been ambushed. Bido immediately revealed his vicious and vicious nature. He ignored Ferrum's order and also wanted to kill Yazi.
Even Kेलaili believes that Mountain Goblin cannot escape the relationship and should be controlled first. If not, kill them all.
It was not until Ferrum stated his reasons and judged that Yazi, who had once put himself in danger, would not use the lives of his own people as bait, and used Archaic Species's bloodline to oppress him, that possible fighting and internal fighting was stopped.
Recalling this, another idea suddenly popped into Ferrum's mind--
If the person who comes to Windsong Plateau is not himself, but the Nickel Dragon group headed by Bido, they will definitely kill Mountain Goblin immediately and then face the siege of Armor-Splitting Scorpion.
But no one thought that Yazi had a back-up at that time. One hundred Mountain Goblin warriors were dormant in the foothills to provide support. If they could not wait for the news of safety and found that their leader had been killed when they came back, they would be desperate for revenge.
By then, even if the Nickel Dragons can break out of the scorpion group, they will still be killed by the Savage Bone Clan warriors.
"Not only dangerous, but also deadly." Nurturer's reminder still rings in my ears.
The death of Hatchling Dragon is not the end. After receiving this news, Ashmark Lineage will be furious, Great Dragon will roar past, Warband will attack with elites, and Savage Bone Clan will be extinct.
The person behind the scenes doesn't even have to show up.
