Wyvern blocked the sky, Gnoll occupied the ground, and the crossbowmen stood on the high ground to suppress it. In an instant, the originally barren swamp revealed its hidden fangs.
These are the border garrisons of Black Lake, which are different from the Mountain Goblin and Bearfolk on the platform. They all have strong bows, crossbows, iron swords and spears. Their bodies and armor are closely integrated, and each of them is a powerful warrior.
Ferrum glanced around a few times before he could speak.
At this time, the mutation reappeared, and the cumulus clouds in the sky suddenly collapsed and broke into scattered rain. Lesser Dragon of different shapes were like rain falling, spiraling down from the sky and landing next to Afterglow.
Ferrum saw In Tas, also saw Jili, and also saw the strong Mountain Dragon. They each settled down, surrounded Afterglow, and faced off against the Black Lake garrison.
Afterglow looked at Jili next to him, a little surprised. "Why are you here?"
"The interception command was sent from Red Fort. Of course we would know it earlier than you. Now you are First Huntmaster. The instructor brought us out and said that he wanted us to see and learn how to handle family affairs on a hunting expedition."
Jili said, "I didn't expect that I only saw you and Ferrum hanging their tails and talking about love the whole time."
"The instructor used Scrying Technique? Did you watch the whole process?"
Afterglow was embarrassed for a moment, and then became a little annoyed. "Is now the time to talk about this? Where is the mentor?"
Jili said, "Looking at her from other places, she said that she was just a guest hired by Ashmark Lineage and could not interfere in the family's internal affairs. However, in this situation, we should come and help you."
"What do you want to do? You give the order and we will follow you." In Tas came to Ferrum. He had grown up and became much calmer.
"I'm talking to Ferrum, it's your turn to interrupt, you bastards?"
Barloz looked at these Lesser Dragon coldly. "We are now in Black Lake's territory. Anyone who dares to fight me will be treated as a rebel and will be killed."
When he roared like this, all the faces of Lesser Dragons changed.
This morning is no longer the Ochre Valley Dragon Hatchling era. The Heavy-Metal Dragons have Great Dragon protection over their heads and can easily mobilize the garrison. However, they are still apprentices in Red Fort, with a huge gap in status.
But this does not mean that they dare not take action, it just needs Ferrum to give an order, and Afterglow's words are useless. Only when Ferrum gives the order as the mountain lord and takes full responsibility for the aftermath, can Lesser Dragon people go into battle.
At this time, Black Lake was like muddy water that was suddenly stirred. One wave had just fallen, and a new wave had risen immediately. The two sides had just started a confrontation when they heard a heavy horn sound coming from the west.
A battle flag emerged from behind the forest ridge in the distance. The flag was soaked by the rain and clung to the flagpole. The electric fire painted with white paint seemed to be in full bloom on the flag.
Gray Mountain Garrison.
Even though the family's North border had crossed Gray Mountain and advanced toward Windsong Plateau twenty years ago, Gray Mountain's army still retained a considerable size.
However, only a small group of elites came this time. The armored Scalebounds climbed over the mountains and spread out to both sides like a front line, blocking the retreat of the Hatchling Dragons.
Gax appeared with three Nickel Dragon and climbed the high ridge.
"Ferrum, we are friends, I have no intention of conflict with you."
Gax said, "But Lord Gray Mountain ordered to leave Nether Iron."
"Gray Mountain, Black Lake, Gray Mountain Black Lake, I almost forgot, you have the same parents."
Ferrum was thinking, and he was suddenly glad that he came with Afterglow, otherwise it would have involved so many troubles, and Afterglow and Lesser Dragon alone would have been unable to move forward.
"Do you still think you can escape now?"
Ferrum glanced at brother Chrome Dragon who was planning to defect.
Nili and Kazes looked lonely. In fact, this was their optimal route after repeated consideration. To the west was Steelspine Plains where Great Dragon gathered., going south is Red Tide Shoal, the brother of Ember Scar, and going north will definitely hit Ferrum, the brother of Windsong Plateau.
For them, there was only a glimmer of hope by going east through Black Lake, but they didn't expect that Ferrum would also follow them here.
"It doesn't end well."
Afterglow whispered in Ferrum's ear, "This kind of troop mobilization may really be the instruction of Great Dragon."
"I know that Gax once fought side by side with me. He is indeed a friend. He would not stand in front of me without an order."
Ferrum said.
"What are you going to do?" Afterglow asked.
"You should take the Lesser Dragons and retreat. Lesser Dragon is here to fight Iron Dragon. It will be very troublesome afterwards. I don't want to see any casualties among you."
Ferrum said.
"What about you?"
Ferrum did not answer, but instead gestured to brother Chrome Dragon: "Follow me."
After saying that, he started walking in the direction of Red Fort.
"Ferrum!"
Barloz roared, and all the Gnoll archers behind him cocked their arrows.
Ferrum looked around and narrowed his eyes. "I'm going to take them back Red Fort now. I'll see who can stop me."
Hearing what he said, Gax sighed, shook his head slightly, and motioned for Gray Mountain's elite soldiers to press forward. He led Nickel Dragon back, and handed over Gray Mountain's troops to the command of Barloz.
"Archaic Species, do you really think no one can stop you?"
The sound carried by the wind was like the low roar of steel.
The clouds in the sky suddenly split, and the fallen leaves on the ground rose and fell, swept by the majestic air current. A huge figure slowly sank from the clouds, blocking the skylight above Hatchling Dragon.
Streamlands lord, Adult Dragon, Leighton·Nolantel.
The moment he landed, there was silence all around, and huge majesty and oppression enveloped the swamp. All the soldiers put down their weapons, and all the Hatchling Dragons also lowered their heads.
"If I don't show up, are you going to kill each other here?"
Leighton's eyes slowly scanned all Hatchling Dragon: "Just for this piece of iron, Heavy-Metal Dragon's face will be completely humiliated by you."
No one answered.
"Where is Nether Iron?" Adult Dragon asked.
Chrome Dragon Kazes didn't dare to hesitate and vomited it out immediately.
"Lesser Dragon escort the defectors back to Red Fort, Ferrum follow me to the dragons of Streamlands, Gray Mountain Black Lake, and retreat, go back to where you should be."
Adult Dragon made his own decision.
"Leighton Lord!"
Barloz suddenly shouted.
He respects Tungsten Dragon Lord, but is not very afraid. The two Tungsten Dragon Lord are in charge of the family's agricultural and animal husbandry affairs. Although they have a high status, they cannot compare with Zane and Karajiege in terms of territory and military strength.
Of the seven Giant Dragon lords in the family, the most powerful ones are of course Taigo and Veloa, followed by Zane and Karajiege, and the position of Nolantel brothers is still to come.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Adult Dragon lowered his head and looked at him.
"Don't dare to disobey your parents' orders. If you can't get Nether Iron, we can't explain it. We will be severely tortured." Barloz said through gritted teeth.
"You tell Zane, Nether Iron that I took it."
Leighton stretched out his paw to hold it, and the iron block fell into his paw like an adsorption. "If Lord Zane is not satisfied, just ask her to come Streamlands to ask me."
As soon as the voice fell, Adult Dragon grabbed Ferrum, suddenly rose into the air, and roared away.
