Gray Mountain.
Scalebound stretched out his withered hooked toes to light the fire, and threw the fire into the haystacks and dry firewood to burn. One by one, the abandoned beacon towers came to life, then roared and breathed out the smoke that reached into the sky.
The old northern defense line, which had been dormant for nearly twenty years, seemed to come to life again at this moment. The clans loyal to Ridgehold gathered in large numbers. The soldiers wore armor and carried weapons, raising the furious Dragonwing War Banner.
The entire Gray Mountain area is shrouded in rolling smoke and sparks.
Ridgehold.
Under the gloomy sky are rugged gray rocks. Ridgehold is still majestic and cold, but the position belonging to the lord is already empty.
Gax·Karajiege watched Scalebound coming and going, spreading the news of Ridgehold to all directions. Under his order, the Gray Mountain garrison had completely withdrawn from the northern border and regrouped around Dragonwing War Banner, with a total size of more than 10,000 people.
"What else is there to say? What else is there to say?"
The young Iron Dragon stared coldly at the three Nickel Dragon companions. "My father died in the battle, but there is no Karajiege in this world. From today on, I am The new Lord Gray Mountain, my order is that all warriors in the Gray Mountain area who can take up arms will rush to the aid of Steelspine Plains, which of course includes you."
The faces of Nickel Dragons were uncertain, and they exchanged glances with each other. One of them, Nickel Dragon, raised his head, wanting to remind him of the dangers of the war, but when he met Gax's eyes, he shrank to the point of being speechless.
What kind of look is that? Gax has never defeated Hidorivi, so he is not considered a powerful person among the dragons, but at this moment, Bloodfire seems to be burning in his eyes, making the Nickel Dragons feel surprised and even horrified, as if they have seen the dead adult Giant Dragon Karajiege.
"Overseer!" Gax ordered coldly.
"Here."
A Scalebound stepped out, Disaster Level was as high as level ten. It was the guard of Karajiege who stayed in Ridgehold. There was no doubt about its loyalty. Even if Karajiege was defeated, Scalebound would still be loyal to the descendants of Lord Gray Mountain.
"From now on, I don't want to hear any rumors about Karajiege, nor do I want to hear any nonsense that will stop the army from advancing."
Gax looked at Nickel Dragon: "Anyone who says such things in my army is my enemy, and they will all be killed immediately."
"Yes!"
Konoe promised in a deep voice.
Gax stepped up to the position of lord and held the long sword he took out from the treasure house. It was Dragonslayer Blade, which was once bathed in dragon blood. It is a rare magic weapon that can cause extra damage to dragons.
It was originally a winning weapon for a group of dragon hunters, but that group of dragon hunters failed when they attacked Karajiege. They were all burned to death by Iron Dragon's electric fire, and together with the sword, they fell into the hands of Karajiege.
Gax wrapped his tail around the hilt of the sword, raised his head and inhaled, opened his upper and lower jaws at an astonishing 160 degrees, and swallowed the sword edge into his belly inch by inch with a constant low sound.
Dragons do not wear magic items on their bodies, but it does not mean that they cannot use magic items. Giant Dragon can put the Noble Phantasm into their upper stomach. When the capacity is sufficient, the magical properties of the Noble Phantasm will be directly displayed on their bodies.
However, Hatchling Dragon's upper stomach space was obviously insufficient. Gax forced himself to swallow the sword. Although he could gain more power, he had to endure continuous pain and damage, and even damaged the source.
Nickel Dragon all changed color.
"The Gray Mountain Legion will fight in Steelspine Plains. This is a battle for the survival of the family and a battle for blood revenge. Only death can end it."
Gax coughed up a pool of scarlet blood, took a deep breath, and regained his composure. "Let's go."
Black Lake.
Thick mist enveloped the lake, patches of reeds swayed in the wind, and the dark water spread from the embankment to the horizon.
Barloz stood on the water, stood in the wind, and waited calmly.
He also held two letters in his hand, one from Red Fort and one from Black Lake lord Zane.
"Lord's order."
Konoe whispered from the side, "No matter what the reason is, any delay in timing will be regarded as rebellion. You are a descendant of the lord, so you should..."
"Let Tungsten Dragon lead the army and leave first. I have one more piece of news that needs to be confirmed."
Barloz said that he and Gax of Gray Mountain share the same blood and are brothers. Barloz's image was originally a bit more majestic than Gax, but at this moment, for some reason, he had a striking whip mark on his face, which extended from his forehead to the corner of his mouth. He looked quite ferocious.
As young Iron Dragon finished speaking, a figure hurried from the end of the causeway and brought back the magic signal recorded on the parchment scroll.
"Aino Kingdom reply."
Scalebound breathed heavily and exhaled bursts of white air. "Aino King said, 'Aino and Ember Scar have always been firm allies, Although Aino is unable to participate in Giant Dragon's war, it will do its best to contain Tagoma Kingdom and will not allow Tagoma Kingdom to take advantage of the opportunity to attack Black Lake."
"That's enough."
Barloz looked at the lake in the mist and nodded heavily. "Having such sincerity is enough."
This is not the best answer, but it is the greatest help Black Lake can get at this moment. As long as Tagoma does not press the border from the east, Black Lake's army can leave the defense line and rush to Steelspine Plains Battlefield.
"Then, write back to the Aino Kingdom. My mother likes their Fireberry Wine very much, and so do I. When this war is over, please invite them to Ironthorn Castle to have a drink with us."
Barloz turned around. "Let's go."
Black Lake's battle flags stood like clouds on the embankment, and Gnoll warriors drove their beasts of burden forward, splashing large areas of mud.
Streamlands, Water-Subduing Fort.
Troops and grain carts blocked the road, and the wheels sank into the soft soil, making it difficult to move, so soldiers had to push carts with slaves.
"Nipo--"
Two Tungsten Dragon are already waiting impatiently outside.
"Coming, coming."
After a long while, Little Cobalt Dragon finally ran out of the castle in a hurry, "After a long journey, of course you have to take all your treasures with you, otherwise what if you leave them here and get stolen?"
Tungsten Dragon looked at the huge team behind Nipo. Those people were not soldiers, but a long list of secretaries holding baskets, clay tablets and copper scales. Various account books were piled in a thick pile in the baskets.
"Nipo, we are here to support the front line, not to do business with Chromatic Dragon." A Tungsten Dragon said helplessly.
"Nonsense, you can just fight the war, but I have a lot to think about."
Nipo climbed onto the loaded truck. "No one can tell the situation on the front line. If I don't prepare all the manpower, Great Dragon will be busy fighting, and Streamlands's logistics supplies will not be connected. What if there is a mistake in the deployment and chaos breaks out?"
"This is what Lord Leighton told me. A bunch of little Dragon Hatchling don't understand anything. In the end, they all have to rely on me."
Nipo snorted and patted the car board, "Let's go."
Streamlands's team then moved forward.
The first to leave were the troops, followed by grain carts, pack animals, slaves and record-keeping clerks. The turning wheels rolled over the road, sending the grain and wealth Streamlands had accumulated for many years, bit by bit, to the distant Battlefield.
Red Fort.
Ashmark Lineage's battle flag has been raised, and the flames on the battle flag are burning in the ferocious claw marks, as if they are about to set the sky on fire.
Military reports from various places filled the hall, messengers ran back and forth on the stone steps, Wyvern fluttered into the air from the towers, and shadows passed over the town again and again. At this moment, all warehouses in the subordinate towns of Red Fort were taken over by the military, and livestock, grain, ironware and medicinal materials were being redistributed under one order after another.
"Does instructor Lilen also want to go with us?"
The bright red Feather Dragon stood in front of the little spell caster, bowed his head and asked softly.
"I was hired by Ashmark Lineage and came to Lost Wilderness. Faced with the current situation, I should give some help."
The great magician Lilen said, "In addition, you are all my students. In Shien Peninsula, it is the teacher's duty and obligation to protect his students."
"Thank you."
Afterglow bowed her head in greeting. Although Lilen is just a human with no special bloodline, this does not hinder her respect. Heavy-Metal Dragon respects strong strength and upright conduct., regardless of whether the owner of the power and character is Giant Dragon, a human or a goblin, Feather Dragon is a descendant of Ashmark Lineage, and his habits are no different from Heavy-Metal Dragon.
"Thirteen articles Lesser Dragon are ready and ready to go at any time."
In Tas came over and said to Afterglow, although Lilen is their mentor, but according to family rules, Afterglow is the leader of Lesser Dragon.
"Ferrum will leave for Steelspine Plains immediately after receiving the news. You can't wait to see him, right?"
Afterglow looked at In Tas, blinked, and casually eased the tense atmosphere.
"I have passed the trial. I was supposed to go to the platform to find him, but now I just changed my place." In Tas said in a calm tone.
Afterglow's expression moved slightly, and the test technique was running silently, only to find that Thunderclap Dragon actually also had the power of Sixth-Level Disaster, while In Tas clearly did not have any gift from "Scattered Fire Sets the Plains Ablaze". He was able to reach this point entirely due to his own development of magic power and body.
Even Afterglow, who has "Spell Formula Deduction" Mystic Vault, has just become Seventh-Level Calamity at this time. The ability of Thunderclap Dragon to do this is another form of talent.
"I don't know what extent Ferrum's power is now."
Afterglow thought to herself that when she was in the Water-Subduing Fort dungeon, Ferrum did not hide it from her, telling her that she had obtained Nether Iron from Tungsten Dragon Lord, and had finished devouring it and started digesting it.
Feather Dragon's senses are extremely sharp. During the second visit, Afterglow found that Ferrum was different. In addition to being sharp and bright, there was a deep aura, and his strength also increased again.
"We should go." Lilen reminded.
Afterglow finished thinking, looked back at his companions, and ordered, "Let's go."
The Lesser Dragons took off one after another, forming a wing formation like a flock of birds in the sky. Unlike Heavy-Metal Dragon, their magic power has been awakened, and various arcs of light are emanating from their bodies.
Red Tide Shoal, Tidewatch Castle.
The sea breeze carried the salty smell towards the land, gray-white waves kept hitting the rocks, and on the long tidal flats, the army on the south coast had already assembled.
Hidorivi repeatedly confirmed the marching route and the supplies along the way, then relaxed his tense nerves slightly, and looked sideways at the top of the reef, looking at his brother.
"This day has finally come."
Hidorivi stepped towards him and sighed lowly, "Before this, I always hoped that it would come later."
"As Heavy-Metal Dragon, born in such an era, how can I expect long-term peace and leisure?"
Jelierion·Ember Scar looked calm, but his pupils were as bright as fire. "We were able to complete the Dragon Hatchling period of growth in Ochre Valley, and spent another four years of peaceful Hatchling Dragon's career can be considered a great blessing. No matter how much the family conceals and blocks, Hatchling Dragon's existence cannot be concealed after all. When the enemy learns such news, they are bound to launch a massive attack."
There was a hint of worry in Hidorivi's eyes. "Storm Family and Emerald Family have formed an alliance, and with the support of Bloodridge Tribes, our most powerful enemies have come together. Even my father is not sure about this war, right? That's why we had to launch war mobilization and summon the strength of the whole territory."
"The reason why we encountered such a crisis is because the family did the right thing and made the enemy feel the danger."
Jelierion said, "Go all out, we still have a chance to win. If we can succeed in this war, when the new generation of the family grows up, maybe the situation will be reversed in the future."
The sea breeze flows through the gaps in their scales, making Iron Dragon's scales jingle.
After a long while, Hidorivi suddenly asked, "How many people did you bring?"
Red Tide Shoal is the collective name for the entire south bank area of Lost Wilderness, facing Wave Sea, and occupies a very large area. Therefore, although the Ember Scar brothers are nominally stationed in Red Tide Shoal, they actually operate their own territories and do not interfere with each other.
"One thousand people." Jelierion said.
Hidorivi was startled for a moment, this number is very sensitive. "Have you brought all Savagefang Company?"
Savagefang Company is Warband under Jelierion, but it does not originate from Jelierion, but from Red Tide Shoal lord Veloa.
As early as when Ember Scar brothers were still Dragon Egg, Veloa was preparing this army. Everyone in Savagefang Company was a carefully selected War Lizardfolk fighter, equipped with good armor bought from Shien Peninsula, equipped with powerful bows and arrows and iron swords.
These one thousand people can definitely be called the elite, and they are the most important property left by Veloa to future generations. As a mother's selfishness, she hopes that her children can rely on this army to stand out in the new generation of the family, establish absolute prestige, and become the center.
But at this moment, Jelierion is determined to bring all Savagefang Company with Battlefield.
Jelierion glanced at Hidorivi, knowing what he was thinking, and shook his head gently. "If I am a waste, no matter how many troops I have in my hands, I will not be able to gain real recognition."
"If I want to win the respect of the dragons, I have to rely on my own strength, not my mother's gift. In order to win this war, each of us dragons must go all out and put our own strength, family members, fighting spirit and even lives on it."
Jelierion took a deep breath. "I want to complete my promotion in this war and become the real Archaic Species. Just like those two guys, I am the descendant of Taigo and Veloa. I can do it."
At this moment, swift footsteps were heard in the distance.
A figure hurried along the beach, followed by Fishfolk warriors carrying harpoons and bone shields.
"I conquered two hundred Fishfolk warriors."
Leijieduolei gasped and said, "Finally... I have the strength to fight."
Jelierion glanced at this brother who had always been stupid, and rarely scolded him coldly, nor did he get angry because of his tardiness. He just turned around calmly. "Just come, let's go."
"Leijie."
Hidorivi passed by and patted his head with his paw. "Listen to our orders and follow us... don't be stupid."
The horn on the beach then sounded.
The army gathered on the south bank, and Jelierion's Savagefang Company also revealed its true face. A thousand War Lizardfolk, clad in uniform cast iron armor, lined up silently on the coast. The weapons in their hands were thick and heavy. From a distance, they looked like a black forest rising from the sea.
Blackrock Mining Lands, Withered Wood Plain, Shattered Stone Pass...
Orders were issued one after another across mountains, wastelands and rivers, and the armies sleeping in various parts of the territory woke up.
If someone could look down from the very high sky, they would be able to see countless moving teams on Wildlands, like countless tributaries flowing upstream, converging towards the same source.
The enemy comes with storm and thunder.
Ashmark Lineage, there are also thousands of troops.
