Streamlands, Water-Subduing Fort.
The stone castle stands between the green fields and the water network, like a prone green beast. The walls are covered with moss, and below are a series of warehouses, mills and bacon houses.
Streamlands is the largest grain-producing area of Lost Wilderness, and Water-Subduing Fort is the heart of Streamlands. Countless grain trucks and long boats gather from all directions, swallow in Water-Subduing Fort's throat, and then go to all directions again.
In the spacious and high Lord's Hall, Leighton threw Ferrum aside and returned to his position.
Ferrum adjusted his figure obediently, sat on the spot, and raised his eyes to look at Tungsten Dragon Lord above.
This is the second Great Dragon he has seen after breaking out of his shell and being born.
As a small dragon species, Leighton·Nolantier is not huge in size even though it is an adult Giant Dragon. His body length is about fourteen meters, his scales are dark green, and his face is lined with fine armor plates.
Two horns extended outward from the back of his head, with slender branches branching out from the ends, like a stretched horn crown or the spread tentacles of some giant beetle.
Before the fall of Supreme, Tungsten Dragon was the only Heavy-Metal Dragon from the good camp. Because of their similar habits, they were natural enemies with Green Dragon in Chromatic Dragon.
Tungsten Dragon's sense of responsibility for the continuation of the ethnic group is second only to Iron Dragon, so he took the initiative to join Ashmark Lineage. One of the two Tungsten Dragon Lords is in Steelspine Plains, and the other is in Streamlands. On the one hand, they are in charge of the family's farming and animal husbandry affairs, and on the other hand, they are also trying their best to recruit new members for the family.
At that time, Ochre Valley's grain, meat and livestock all came from the support of Tungsten Dragon Lord. If they had any deductions, Dragon Hatchling's living conditions would not be that generous.
From a psychological level, Ferrum is relatively close to Tungsten Dragon Lord.
But Leighton didn't seem to be like that. His words were stern and straightforward. "Ferrum·Solaxus, how do you feel today? Do you feel happy and majestic?"
Ferrum was slightly startled, then shook his head. "I don't understand what the lord means."
"Don't understand?"
Leighton smiled coldly, "Okay, then I will tell you to understand."
"Brothers Chrome Dragon Leiklas have been disobedient to discipline since the Dragon Hatchling period. Although they have some talents, they deliberately concealed them from Nurturer. The reason why they went to Blackrock Mining Lands and what they were thinking in their heads are actually well known to the family."
Leighton said slowly, "In the case of Chrome Dragon's defection, the interceptors we arranged are Kेलaili and Afterglow. The final result should be that Kेलaili and Afterglow smash their bones and take them back to Red Fort for torture."
"The purpose of the incident is, firstly, to test Afterglow·Ember Scar and observe the effect of the hunting system in actual application. Secondly, it is to establish Kेलaili's prestige and make Cobalt Dragons realize that even if Kेलaili is not around, they are still their Cobalt-Blue Overlord."
"Through Kेलaili and Afterglow, the family can control all Cobalt Dragon and Lesser Dragon."
"As for the Chrome Dragon Leiklas brothers, even if they can cross Kेलaili and Afterglow, they will never be able to pass through the border interception. They should realize the strength of the family and their own weakness in this incident, and then return to Red Fort to be punished. The family has follow-up education and arrangements for them."
"But Ferrum·Solaxus."
Leighton's voice became more severe. "As the noble Archaic Species, the mountain lord, you are not on the same level as them. You should not be involved in the Hatchling Dragon incident."
"The news I received is that Chrome Dragon has defected. I am very aware of Chrome Dragon's sharpness, and I am worried that my companions will be in danger." Ferrum said.
"The family has its own assessment. Afterglow and Kेलaili, one fights at high altitude and the other has a strong body. If they are still killed by Chrome Dragon, they are incompetent."
Leighton shook his head. "As for the Leiklas brothers, they intend to defect. If something unexpected happens, they should bear the price, and we will not pity such a loss."
"I don't know about the family's arrangements. If there is an order in advance, I will obey it."
Ferrum thought for a moment and explained, "I have just established an intimate relationship with Afterglow. Although Kेलaili is my companion, I will mind if he travels with Afterglow."
"It's still Hatchling Dragon. When it comes to romance, you should learn from Ladon."
Leighton criticized, but did not dwell on this matter, and then asked, "Is it because of Afterglow, or is it because of Nether Iron?"
Ferrum wanted to say that it was really because of Afterglow, but suddenly he remembered Valyria's anger back then. The first thing future generations should do when dealing with Great Dragon is to be honest. Great Dragon can tolerate Hatchling Dragon's unruliness, but they cannot tolerate deception.
"There are some of them."
Ferrum said, "I have the ability to eat metal. When I heard that Nether Iron appeared, it was hard not to be curious."
"Brothers Leiklas can dig out a piece of Nether Iron from Black Rock Ore Vein. This is something we did not expect, and Zane is bound to get it, so it is even more troublesome."
Leighton's tone became calmer and he looked towards the corner of the Lord's Hall: "Come here."
Ferrum Only then did he realize that there was a living person standing in the shadow. He was a tall half-dragon, with dark green scales all over his body, and knotted muscles bulging under his skin. His upper body was only covered with a strip of cloth, and his lower body was covered with a black iron skirt and armor. He had a strong posture.
Tungsten Dragon Lord pointed at the half-dragon. "In a life-and-death fight, can you beat her?"
Ferrum squinted his eyes, and through the ability of "Opening Sight", he realized that the opponent's blood energy was so strong, Disaster Level was definitely above him.
He did not speak harshly and shook his head, "I am not her opponent."
"Do you know who she is?"
Ferrum didn't understand what Tungsten Dragon Lord meant and continued to shake his head, "I don't know."
"It's okay if you don't know, because she is just my bodyguard, a mere soldier, a nobody."
Tungsten Dragon Lord stared into the eyes of Ferrum: "You can't defeat my guards, why do you think you can defeat the guards of Karajiege and Zane? Why do you think the family is so sure that the Lecles brothers can't get out of the wilderness? Do you dare to take action on the descendants of Gray Mountain Black Lake and Zane?"
"You go down."
Leighton waved his hand and claws, and the half-dragon guards immediately retreated.
"Don't show your fangs easily until you are sure of victory."
After a moment of silence, Tungsten Dragon Lord spoke again, "If you are pushed to the ground by Zane's guards, what you will lose is Archaic Species's dignity, we Heavy-Metal Dragon values dignity the most. This stain cannot be erased no matter what. You will be furious and even hateful because of it, but the family raised you and did not ask you to fight against the family's Giant Dragon lord."
"I... understand."
Ferrum probably knows what Tungsten Dragon Lord means.
"In the final analysis, it is still because of the desire in your heart. You really shouldn't leave Windsong Plateau, because Nether Iron is not your thing in the first place."
Leighton sighed lowly, "When you arrived at Black Lake, stopped brother Chrome Dragon, and saw Nether Iron, the greed in your heart naturally amplified infinitely. You were The idea is that if you really can't take Nether Iron away, just eat it on the spot. Anyway, as Archaic Species, the Black Lake garrison wouldn't dare to kill you anyway, right?"
"I..."
Ferrum cannot deny that Tungsten Dragon Lord is indeed Adult Dragon, and he guessed all his plans in an instant.
"Of course the Black Lake garrison dare not kill you, but you will anger Zane and Karajiege."
Leighton said, "I heard that you are doing business with Nipo and want to build your own business in Windsong Plateau, but the terrace is close to Gray Mountain Black Lake, Zane and Karajiege want to suppress you, and there are many ways and means. Windsong Plateau Don't think about peace in the future. Of course you can hold on, but can your companions and family members endure poverty and hunger?"
Ferrum I have nothing to say.
"You left the station without authorization and ruined family affairs. I will punish you in confinement for half a year at Streamlands. What do you have to say?" Leighton became strict again.
Ferrum was startled and was about to speak.
"Father, there is a message from Steelspine Plains, a message from Lord Ochre Valley. I have written it down on the parchment roll."
The half-dragon who left earlier came back again, holding a sheepskin scroll and respectfully presented it to Tungsten Dragon Lord.
Leighton twirled the parchment, shook it open, and glanced at it twice. "She is quite well informed."
"Reply to Valyria, she is Young Dragon. She is thinking a lot about how to survive in the war. She does not need to worry about family affairs. Regarding Ferrum, I have other plans."
"Yes." The half-dragon retreated again.
Leighton moved his pupils and glanced at Ferrum who was hesitant to speak, "If you have anything to say, just say it. My patience is limited."
Ferrum said, "I heard that Steelspine Plains will have a big war. Bloodridge Tribes may use Mistveil Mountains to attack Windsong Plateau. I am not resisting punishment, but if I am not on the platform..."
"There will indeed be a war, but now the situation has changed. If we want to attack, we should launch the attack."
Leighton interrupted him, "You don't have to worry about the war. As for the territory, it's impossible that the companions and brothers around you can't even do small things like taking care of the territory. Otherwise, what's the use of them?"
Ferrum thought for a moment and found no way to escape, so he could only nodded.
"Half a year of confinement, stay at Streamlands honestly, think about it carefully, I should make some progress in the future."
Leighton bared his fangs and threw out a piece of black iron. "Eat this thing and disappear from me."
