A day later, a slight sound of wind came from above the canyon.
Bido folded its wings and slid down the rock wall, followed by several Nickel Dragon. When it landed, the sound was very soft, like a few dead leaves floating down from the sun.
Nickel Dragon is the weakest among Heavy-Metal Dragon, but it has mastered the ability of gliding first. With the help of canyon wind and height difference, it can fly short distances.
With the eyesight of a dragon and a keen sense of smell, Nickel Dragon has become the best scout in the Ferrum camp. He can observe mountain roads, campfires and army movement information from a distance without any danger, and bring back a large amount of intelligence every time.
In Savage Bone Canyon's lord's cave, Ferrum, Kेलaili, Belong and Gax are all there.
"Support from Streamlands has arrived."
Bido reported, "But they were intercepted by the South Bearfolk army. They only had two Cobalt Dragon and two Tungsten Dragon. The number of enemies was about three hundred."
After the words fell, Hatchling Dragon's expressions all changed.
"What to do now?"
The new Iron Dragon Gax asked.
He knew Ferrum's plan. He had been surveying the terrain of Savage Bone Canyon recently and found that it was indeed a good place that was easy to defend but difficult to attack. There was only a rugged mountain road that could lead to high places, and the rest were almost vertical cliffs.
Recently, they have done a lot of construction on the canyon, including stacking rolling stones and setting up traps. What is interesting is that even if Bearfolk attacks, Hatchling Dragon and Mountain Goblin can jump down layer by layer along the mountain wall.
Fighting here, not to mention Wom, there are only eight hundred Bearfolk warriors, and even doubling the number will have no effect.
But if you are fighting outside the canyon, it is a completely different situation. The Bearfolks have replaced them with better weapons and equipment, and their advantages of strength and ferocity can be fully utilized, while Hatchling Dragon only has more than two hundred Mountain Goblin soldiers in his hands, which is a huge disadvantage in terms of military strength.
"In fact, you don't have to worry too much about them."
Kेलaili narrowed his eyes. "Cobalt Dragon is the smartest Heavy-Metal Dragon. For us, there are few things that are more important than living. If we are unable to do so, my kindred will not force their way in, but will most likely choose to retreat and wait for news from us."
"The Overlord is indeed very smart."
Moqi nodded. "But compared with us Chrome Dragon, it's still a little worse."
"Iron Dragon's wisdom is well known." Gax said.
It's easy for Hatchling Dragon to have such discussions when they get together for a while. Ferrum was used to it when Ochre Valley was there, so he didn't mind and walked to the position near the entrance of the cave.
There hung a detailed animal-skin map, using blackened charcoal to outline Bearfolk's marching route, as well as the enemy's blockade around Savage Bone Canyon.
Just now Bido added another stroke there, circling the general direction where Cobalt Dragon is blocked.
"Reg was killed. They lost two hundred soldiers. Wom should have known this news a long time ago, but he was not in a hurry to attack. He just kept encircling Savage Bone Canyon and was probably waiting for Bearfolk's allies."
Ferrum said, "Now their allies have not arrived yet, but our reinforcements have already arrived. This is something neither side expected. But this is also good. Now we don't have to wait for anything anymore. We can take the initiative to eliminate the rebellion."
"But Boss Ferrum, our troops are too small. If we fight in the wild, we won't be able to gain much advantage." One Nickel Dragon said.
"You said it wrong."
Ferrum glanced at him and did not dismiss the opponent Lower Species's identity. Instead, he explained seriously, "Although Bearfolk has the superior force, Wom is too arrogant and wants to blockade Savage Bone Canyon and kill us all."
"In this way, he has to disperse his troops, but our strength is very concentrated. As long as we act quickly, quickly mass the attack, and quickly complete the elimination, the Bearfolk troops in other areas will not be able to support them in time."
Ferrum said in a deep voice, "They only have three hundred people in South, but there are eight Hatchling Dragon and two hundred Mountain Goblin warriors here. In the first moment of the battle, our strength is enough to crush them."
"But there are dangers in such actions."
Kेलaili looked thoughtful. "We don't know what Wom is thinking. If he guesses our tactics and prepares for it in advance, we will give up defense and rush directly into the encirclement of Bearfolk."
"Battlefield is changing rapidly, and no one can know everything and be omnipotent."
Ferrum said, "We wait here until Bearfolk's strategy will slowly be completed. They will block the road and push our reinforcements back. When Mountain King arrives, they can finally attack the canyon calmly."
"That's right."
Moqi nodded in agreement. "If you take the initiative, the result will be better than staying here to defend. Wom has already lost once. That time he lost Reg and two hundred of his men. If we listen to Ferrum, attack quickly, eliminate South's three hundred Bearfolk, and join up with Streamlands's reinforcements. By then, even if we face Bearfolk and Mountain King head-on, we won't be afraid anymore."
"No, there is another situation that will make the situation worse, that is, Mountain King has already arrived, but is just lying in wait and refusing to show up, allowing Wom to use Streamlands's reinforcements as bait to lure us to attack, and then encircle and kill us."
Kेलaili said that this guy is obviously very patient but overly cautious. There was also an obvious personality difference between Cobalt Dragon and Chrome Dragon during the discussion.
"Judging from the information obtained from the torture of Bearfolk prisoners, Mountain King and Bearfolk are not that cunning and insidious."
Bido evaluation.
"It is indeed possible. If we were to fight elsewhere in Windsong Plateau, I would not decide to attack so rashly, but South is closer to the family's rule. Even if we are in danger, we still have a way out."
Ferrum looked at Kेलaili, then looked at the other companions. "If you are defeated, I will fully cover your retreat to Gray Mountain."
"You don't have to say that. If you make up your mind, I won't object. I'm just reminding you of the possibility. After all, you can never go too far wrong."
Kेलaili said, "As for covering the retreat... I am your barrier."
"You don't have to say that. No matter how many people there are in the Ursine Tribe, or who the mountain kings are as allies, if you dare to chase me to the Gray Mountain border, you will be immediately noticed by Lord Kara Jig."
Gax said, "My father will kill them all."
After his words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet for a moment.
After a long while, Ferrum came over and patted Gax on the shoulder. "What you said makes me feel most secure."
"Indeed." Kेलaili nodded.
"Then it's all up to you." Moqi said.
Bido rubbed his paws, and although he said nothing, he looked at Iron Dragon with very sincere eyes.
Gax was stunned. He didn't expect that Windsong Plateau and Hatchling Dragon all had this style.
"Pass my order and take the initiative to attack." Ferrum summoned Yazi and gave the order.
Yazi nodded without hesitation and turned around to summon Savage Bone Warriors. A rapid bone whistle sounded in the canyon.
Mountain Goblin people emerged from various caves, rock ledges and plank roads. The armored warriors lifted their swords and the archers carried scorpion tail arrows. The old and the weak dragged the wounded to hide deeper. Bearfolk was also moved to a safe cave.
Hatchling Dragon came out of the canyon, determined to complete the unification of Windsong Plateau in this war.
