In the west of the platform, under the clouds, Wom sat on a pile of bones, watching his warriors fighting and wrestling below, each beating their strong chests and roaring around the campfire.

"Big boss, your brother Reg is back."

When the soldiers' voices fell, someone had already walked into the fence and strode in in the gloomy sky.

The body of Reg is as strong as Wom. When walking upright, it is taller than the two Mountain Goblin put together, but it is covered with a huge cloak, covering its tangled muscles.

"Come back so soon?"

Wom was startled for a moment, then took the initiative to walk down the pile of bones and stepped forward to greet him.

"These things are not secrets. When I asked about them at Gray Mountain Black Lake, they basically all became clear."

Reg pulled off his cloak and threw it away, raised the wine barrel in the corner and drank heavily. He came back in a hurry, and his long mane was covered with sweat.

"Get something to eat."

Wom ordered his subordinates and pulled Reg to sit aside.

"About half a month ago, Ashmark Lineage released a large number of Hatchling Dragon from Dragon Valley and went to Lost Wilderness places. Not only us, but also Steelspine Plains, Gray Mountain Black Lake and Red Tide Shoal, all have Hatchling Dragon going there."

Reg took a few heavy breaths and said, "This is a huge event that shocked the wilderness. Coupled with the previous rumors, it seems that Ashmark Lineage is serious this time and is preparing to fully strengthen its rule over Wilderness Races."

"Ashmark Lineage." Wom slowly repeated the name.

"How's the situation here?"

Reg grabbed a handful of raw meat sent by his subordinates, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed it, gradually recovering his strength.

"A complete failure."

Wom whispered, "At that time, we sent people to meet with us. Those Hatchling Dragon said they had important matters to discuss with other Giant Dragon lords. As a result, no Great Dragon has appeared until now. We were simply deceived by them. We wasted our efforts and missed the best opportunity. These dragons are full of lies. They are really cunning."

"Although we missed the opportunity, the strength is not ours after all."

Reg bit the food and said angrily, "You have got all the information you should get, right?"

"Yes."

Wom nodded immediately, stood up, took the things next to the pile of bones, and handed them to Reg for him to examine carefully.

They were four fine animal skins, each with a different dragon shape drawn on them. The painting techniques were poor, and only a rough outline could be seen, but there were many textual annotations on the sides, densely packed to fill a whole page.

"Pale Shadow..."

Reg took the animal skin, looked back and forth several times, took out two of them and put them aside. "These two are not important, they are just ordinary little cubs, just throw them away. The main thing is these two. One of them is Ferrum and the other is Kेलaili."

"You know him?"

Wom was shocked. After receiving the news, Reg left overnight and went to Gray Mountain Black Lake to inquire about information. Black Dragon and White Dragon were not seen at all.

"Dragon Valley has been unblocked, and many Gray Dwarves and Kobold have escaped. I will focus on inquiring about this information. Of course I will pay attention to Hatchling Dragon who are worth mentioning."

Reg pointed at the portrait on the animal skin. "This Ferrum is the most ferocious of Dragon Valley, and Kेलaili is the biggest and strongest one among Hatchling Dragon. Unexpectedly, they came to Windsong Plateau together."

Wom frowned. "If you put it this way, when these Hatchling Dragon grow up, Ashmark Lineage will become even more powerful."

"But that will be decades later. All we need to consider is the present. I have been preventing you from destroying Mountain Goblin and Cave Dwellers because I want to tell Ashmark Lineage that the platform is a chaotic and barren land. Bearfolk is as weak as Mountain Goblin and Cave Dwellers and is not worthy of their attention."

Reg said, "But now a dragon is coming after all. Back then you couldn't control your desire and ambition and couldn't wait to call yourself the master of Windsong Plateau. When you hear such rumors, even if the scorpion attack cannot trace us, those Hatchling Dragon will regard us as enemies that must be attacked, right?"

"What's the use of talking about this now?"

Wom was annoyed and casually lifted Reg's mane. "Even without these things, Giant Dragon would not let go of the Bearfolk tribe. Have you forgotten how Lord Zane treated us before?"

Reg is covered in scars, like an old slave who has been tortured. Those scars cannot even be covered by his thick mane, they are exposed with a slight lift, so he usually wears a cloak when going out.

"Okay, I won't talk about the past anymore."

Reg pushed his brother's hand away. He didn't want to mention the past, otherwise he would seem to feel sorry for himself and look weak. "What are those Hatchling Dragon doing now?"

"Staying in Savage Bone Canyon all day long, there is one that hugs and hugs each other every day, and takes Mountain Goblin out to hunt. We can't see the other three yet."

Wom smiled coldly, "I thought Savage Bone Clan was a tough guy. It took Ashmark Lineage twenty years to get these guys to follow him sincerely. I didn't expect the new Hatchling Dragon to force them to kneel down in just a few days. It's really despicable."

"In this way, Hatchling Dragon has a habitat, and it is no longer possible for us to invite them to the cottage to control them."

Wom's voice is a little deep.

He lowered his head and looked at his heavy palms. After a while, he slowly said, "Reg, you think, why don't we just kill them and then blame them on Mountain Goblin or Aberrant Monster."

"Absolutely not!"

Reg replied extremely seriously, "I initially agreed with you to contact Mountain King because I only regarded them as ordinary Hatchling Dragon, but these guys are not small characters. They have names and surnames. Ferrum and Kेलaili are the core members of Ashmark Lineage."

"Once such Hatchling Dragon dies, Taigo will be furious. The tyrant will burn Windsong Plateau to scorched earth. All living creatures in this place will die. Even the weeds will be dug up and eradicated. He has punished his family members like this more than once. We must not act rashly until there is a moment of open rebellion."

"But now, Mountain King has got the news, and it is very restless."

Wom raised his head. He also thought about this and felt a little worried, "We must act as soon as possible, otherwise we will not be able to control the situation. If there is no way to kill Hatchling Dragon, what are you going to do next?"

"What we are going to do depends on Hatchling Dragon's purpose. They are here simply because Windsong Plateau does not have a Giant Dragon lord, so that they can be independent. Power is poison to Giant Dragon. Regardless of Great Dragon or a small dragon, all these dragons have this idea."

Reg looked thoughtful. "Now that they have gained Savage Bone Clan's loyalty, what should they do next... I know."

"What?" Wom asked.

"If they find that they are powerless to control the situation and that staying here is just a waste of time and they don't get anything, they will be very disappointed, right?"

Reg suddenly stood up and growled, "Gather our troops, I have a way to make these Hatchling Dragon retreat and leave Windsong Plateau on their own."
