Groups of dragon-men were walking scatteredly in the dirty and filthy swamp.
Wherever they passed, all the swamp creatures fled away, never daring to get within a hundred meters of these dragon-men.
A huge swamp crocodile escaped a little slower and entered the warning range of the Dragon Man team. It immediately attracted four or five violent and ferocious elemental fireballs, and was blown up into pieces of flesh all over the ground on the spot.
Deep in the mist at the end of the line of sight, some indigenous tribes lurked in the darkness, silently spying on this huge team of dragonmen. Although their eyes were filled with unspeakable hatred, they could only watch silently, not daring to get close.
Every cent.
This is a huge dragon army with a number of more than 300. Even in the Lance plane, it is not a powerful force that ordinary dragon lords can bring out casually.
So when Will, the leader of the second-level dragon army, led this group of tiger and wolf troops into the Swamp of Sorrows, the natives and beasts along the way dispersed and never dared to appear within their sight, let alone block their progress.
.
"Sir, we have lost contact with three groups of scouts. No contact marks left by them were found along the way, and the team sent out to search found no trace of them." A particularly strong dragon captain came trotting all the way.
When he arrived in front of the legion commander Will, he hit his chest heavily with his hand.
The steel gloves collided with the metal armor, making a dull metallic clang.
No trace means no body.
The indigenous tribes do not have the strength to kill a dragon scout in the Swamp of Sorrows silently. Those top monsters may have the strength, but they may not have the courage.
Moreover, three groups of scouts, distributed in three directions, disappeared inexplicably at the same time, which speaks volumes!
"Let the other scouts withdraw!"
The commander of the Will Army is a tall and powerful dragon man. He is covered in metal armor and is covered with red and dense dragon scales. This also means that in addition to its extremely powerful strength, it also has powerful firepower.
Elemental power.
"Since the enemy has begun to cut off our ears and eyes, it means that their lair is not far away. We will find a suitable place to camp and rest first, and then send people to contact Lord Chax as soon as possible. Mailman
, you will take Team 7 to collect some food from the surrounding area later, please be careful and safe!"
"Understood!" A dragon captain beside him also beat his chest, accepted the order, and strode off to summon his subordinates.
"Falga, take your subordinates and find out for me who are the people who attacked our scouts outside. I hope I can hear your good news before dinner is ready." Will's order this time was given to
A troll wearing black priestly robes.
Yes, in this dragon-man army, there is actually a team of nearly 200 trolls mixed in, and they are all devout followers of the Dragon Worship Cult.
When any race is ruled by a foreign race, all kinds of traitors may appear, and there may even be some strange guys who make the traitor's career prosperous.
The Dragon Worship Cult is such a strange organization!
Ever since the troll empire was broken up by the dragon lords, the original masters of the plane, the troll clan, could no longer stand up and call the shots.
During the long rule of the dragons that lasted for thousands of years, many powerful trolls hid in the dark and continued to set off waves of resistance to the dragon's rule. However, there were also some alternative trolls who were tired of resisting—
It was an endless bloody process of suppression - then resistance - then suppression. So, they raised the slogan of worshiping the dragon and called on the tribesmen not to carry out unnecessary resistance.
And such a troll can obviously please the dragon lord.
Therefore, with the intentional support of the dragons, some trolls formed the Dragon Worship Cult, calling on natives of different races to join them and become devout believers of the dragons.
In order to win them over, the dragon also gave the followers of the Dragon Worship Cult a status second only to the dragon people, making them slaves of the slaves of the dragon clan!
Especially for the believers in the Dragon Worship Cult who are particularly pious and have made great achievements, the dragons will even grant them part of the dragon blood. In this way, these believers will have strange spell-casting abilities similar to those of warlocks.
And they are also called Dragon Worshiping Priests by outsiders.
At this moment, Falja, who was mentioned by name by the commander of the Will Army, is such a Dragon Worshiping Priest, level 2.
Although he knew that this was a thankless job, facing the non-negotiable assignment from Commander Will, Priest Falga had no choice but to agree.
At his shout, a large group of black-robed Dragon Worshipers quickly broke away from the dragon-man team and disappeared into the mist in the distance in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph, just leave all the dirty work to these Dragon Cult guys! Cohen, tell the team to turn to the northwest. I remember there is a large kobold camp there. We will camp there to rest tonight..."
Seeing the followers of the Dragon Worship Cult walking away, Commander Will couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Kobold camp?" Several confidant captains surrounding him looked at each other and wondered: "Sir, those kobolds are too smelly... They will affect the rest and eating of the soldiers..."
"Hmph, what are you afraid of if it smells bad... Kill all those kobolds and sprinkle their blood all over the camp so that you won't smell that stench again..."
Having said this, the dragon captains could only nod helplessly and dispersed to assemble the team.
When only the deputy commander Aiden, his old friend whom he had known for hundreds of years, was left by his side, Will's majestic face showed a trace of solemnity.
"Why, are you still worried about our enemies this time?" Aiden asked softly.
"There is no way not to worry!" Will's voice was full of anger: "I have already inquired, and what we are facing this time is most likely a group of mysterious guys from outside the world."
"What's the point?" Aiden explained nonchalantly: "Invasions from outside the world happen almost every year. Most of them are desperate wanderers, or some stupid spell caster who mispronounced the spell... Just put them in
If we are driven out of this land, nothing will happen to us."
"No, old man, this time may be different from the past..."
"Why is it different?"
"I have already investigated before coming... The group of intruders suddenly appeared in the Swamp of Sorrows nine days ago, and then ran all the way straight into Lord Chucks' territory. And Chucks came three days ago
Those who asked for help from the Lord, including the time spent on the round trip, this means that Lord Chucks’ team was defeated by the opponent in one day..."
"One day..." Aiden couldn't help but his eyes widened, filled with shock.
It knows that Lord Chax, the Wind Dragon, has hundreds of dragonmen under his command, and the legion commander is also a powerful level 2. If such a team is defeated by an enemy from another world in one day, then
Their mission on this trip is extremely dangerous!
"I originally thought that these guys would huddle in the Stonetalon Mountains and defend, but I didn't expect that they have already extended their claws into the Swamp of Sorrows. Let's set up camp first! We will decide the next step after we find out what is going on in the Stonetalon Mountains...
"Captain Will is indeed the number one dragon thug under Fire Dragon Lady Philippa. Not only is he extremely brave, he also has a clear and calm mind.
Aiden sighed secretly, feeling that this was all he could do.
…………
Swamp of Sorrows, a hidden camp.
Several wizards from the Crimson Family have gathered in a tent, silently waiting for news from the distance.
A metal podium in the center of the tent projected more than a dozen images from different angles one after another, showing the dynamics of the Dragon Legion in front of several wizards.
Although wizards have "Wizard Eyes", "Invisible Servants", "Life Perception" and other witchcraft methods to detect information about dragons, they all inevitably contain witchcraft fluctuations. And this can easily cause the opponent to
aware.
Therefore, almost all of the detection methods this time came from the metal machinery commanded by Gazlowe.
The vibration sensor installed at the bottom of the puddle, the hidden mechanical eye embedded in the big tree, the multi-band sound collector buried in the mud, and the life detector flying above the mist of the Swamp of Sorrow...
Although these metal mechanical bodies also contain some magical aura, it is much weaker than witchcraft. Coupled with the environment of high demons in the Lance plane, if it is not particularly cautious and careful mental scanning, even wizards are very weak.
It is difficult to discover the existence of these metallic life forms.
Therefore, no matter how cautious and careful the dragon people in the distance are, they will not be able to detect these strange creations hidden around them.
In this way, the two sides in the battle were like a one-way mirror. The wizards could easily learn about the other side's movements, while the dragons were like a group of blind men, still stepping into a death trap at a loss.
"I didn't expect that these dragon people also brought a group of Dragon Cult believers... What about, who is going to lure these Dragon Cult believers away?" As the temporary family leader, Mary had to take on the role of commander.
Next to her, standing proudly were the three blood knights that Mary conquered in the knight plane and the old fox Wenlir. With the transfer from the goblin plane, they also successfully arrived at the Lance plane.
The war was about to begin, and Greem stayed in the metal fortress to try to transform a new type of metal golem, so the only second-level wizards who came to this battlefield were Mary and Zacha.
Although the foreign Dragon Eater Olivan also came with her, she did not say anything. Even at Greem's suggestion, she found a thick black robe to wrap herself up completely.
There is no way, her dress and aura of life are too unique, if she doesn't cover it up, she will be easily recognized by those dragon people.
The ones who stayed in the tent and waited for instructions were several first-level wizards who had just been cultivated by the Crimson Family: the insect witch Bliss, Desera, Medusa Dana, and the manticore Caron. As for the poisonous woman Endor
, is a representative sent by the Alice camp, and is not yet a core figure of the Crimson Family. (To be continued)
