Teams of dragonmen walked in disorder in the dirty swamp.
Wherever they passed, all the swamp creatures fled, never daring to get within a hundred meters of these dragonmen.
A huge swamp giant crocodile escaped a little slower, entered the warning range of the dragonman team, and immediately attracted four or five violent and ferocious elemental fireballs, which were blown into pieces of scattered meat all over the ground on the spot.
In the depths of the mist at the end of the line of sight, some indigenous tribes lurk in the dark, silently spying on this huge team of dragonmen. Although their eyes were full of unspeakable hatred, they could only watch silently, not daring to get any closer.
This is a huge dragon army with a number of more than 300. Even in the plane of Lance, it is not a powerful force that ordinary dragon lords can take out casually.
So when Will, the leader of the second-level dragon army, led this group of tigers and wolves into the Swamp of Sorrows, the natives and beasts scattered along the way, never daring to appear within their line of sight, let alone block their progress .
"My lord, we have lost contact with three groups of scouts. We didn't find any contact marks left by them along the way, and the team we sent out to look for them didn't find any traces of them either." An exceptionally strong dragon captain came trotting all the way. When he arrived in front of Legion Commander Will, he slapped his chest heavily with his hands.
The steel glove collided with the metal armor, making a dull metal clank.
No trace means no body.
However, the indigenous tribes did not have the ability to silently kill a dragon scout in the Swamp of Sorrows. Those top monsters may have this strength, but they may not have the courage.
What's more, the scouts of the three routes, distributed in three directions, disappeared inexplicably at the same time, which already explained the problem!
"Let the other scouts withdraw!"
The leader of Will's army is a tall, mighty and strong dragonman, covered with metal armor and covered with red and fine dragon scales. This also means that in addition to its incomparably powerful strength, it also has powerful fire elemental power.
"Since the enemy has begun to cut off our eyes and ears, it means that their lair is not far away. We will find a suitable place to camp and rest later, and then send someone to contact Lord Chax as soon as possible. Melman , you will take the 7th team to the surrounding area to collect some food, pay attention, be careful and safe!"
"Understood!" A dragon captain beside him also beat his chest, accepted the order, and ran to gather his subordinates in strides.
"Falga, take your subordinates and find out who is attacking our scouts outside. I hope to hear good news from you before dinner is ready." Will's order this time was given to A troll in a black sacrificial robe was found.
Yes, in this Dragonman Legion, there is actually a team of trolls with about 200 people mixed in, and they are all devout Dragon Worshipers.
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 business flourish.
Dragon Worship is such a strange organization!
Since the troll empire was broken up and dismembered by the dragon lords, the original masters of the plane, the troll family, could no longer stand up and call the shots.
During the thousands of years of the dragons' long rule, many strong men of the troll clan hid in the dark and continued to set off waves of resistance against the rule of the dragons. But there are also some other kind of trolls, tired of the endless bloody process of revolt-repression-revolt-repression. Therefore, they played the slogan of worshiping the dragon, calling on the tribesmen to stop unnecessary resistance.
And such a troll is obviously able to please the dragon lord.
Therefore, with the intentional support of the giant dragon, some trolls formed the Dragon Worship Cult, calling on natives of different races to join in and become devout believers of the giant dragons.
In order to win them over, the giant dragon also bestowed the followers of the Dragon Cult with the status second only to the dragon people, making them servants of the dragon clan's servants!
Especially for believers who are particularly devout and have made great contributions in the Dragon Worship Cult, the dragons will even bestow some dragon blood on them. In this way, this group of believers also possessed the strange spellcasting ability similar to that of warlocks.
And they are also known as Dragon Worship Priests by outsiders.
At this moment, Falga, who was named by the commander of Will's Legion, is such a Dragon Worship priest, level 2.
Even though he knew that this was a thankless job, Priest Falja had no choice but to agree to the unnegotiable assignment from the commander of Will's army.
Under his shout, a large group of black-robed Dragon Worshipers quickly left the dragonman team, and disappeared into the distant water mist in a blink of an eye.
"Hmph, leave all the dirty work to these Dragon Worshipers! Coen, tell the team to turn to the northwest. I remember there is a large kobold camp there, and I will camp there tonight..." See When the followers of the Dragon Worship went far away, the head of the Will army couldn't help but snorted coldly.
"Kobold camp?" Several confidant captains around looked at each other, wondering: "My lord, those kobolds are too smelly...it will affect the soldiers' rest and eating..."
"Hmph, what are you afraid of if it stinks... Kill those kobolds and sprinkle their blood all over the camp, so that you won't smell that stench again..."
Having said so, several dragon captains could only nod helplessly, and dispersed to mobilize the team.
When only Aiden, the deputy commander of the army who had known him for hundreds of years, was left beside him, Will's radiant 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 this time we are facing a group of mysterious guys who broke in from outside the world."
"What's the matter?" Aiden explained nonchalantly: "Outsider invasions happen almost every year, most of them are desperate wanderers, or some stupid spellcasters who mispronounced the spell... Just drive them away." If we leave this land, we will have nothing to do."
"No, old man, this time may be different from the past..."
"Why is it different?"
"I have investigated before coming here... 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 to report to the Swamp of Sorrows." If your lord asks for help, the time on the way back and forth is taken into account, which means that lord Chucks' team was defeated by the opponent within a day... "
"One day..." Aiden couldn't help but widen his eyes, full of shock.
It knows this wind dragon Chax lord, who has hundreds of dragonmen under his command, and the leader of the legion is also a powerful second-order. If such a team is defeated within a day by the enemies intruding from another world, then their mission is not so dangerous!
"I thought these guys would hide in the Stonetalon Mountains, but I didn't expect them to have stretched their claws into the Swamp of Sorrows. Let's set up camp first! We will decide the next move after we find out the situation in the Stonetalon Mountains..." Captain Will is indeed the number one dragonman thug under Philipa, the dragon girl. He is not only brave, but also has a clear and calm mind.
Aiden sighed secretly, thinking that was the only way to go.
...
Swamp of Sorrows, in a hidden camp.
Several wizards from the Crimson Clan had already gathered in a tent, silently waiting for news from afar.
On a metal podium in the center of the tent, more than a dozen images from different angles were projected one after another, showing the dynamics of the dragon army in front of several wizards in detail.
Although wizards have witchcraft means such as 'wizard's eye', 'invisible servant' and 'life perception' to check the news of dragon people, but they all inevitably have witchcraft fluctuations. And this is easy to cause the other party to notice.
Therefore, almost all the detection means this time came from the metal mechanical body 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 fog of the Swamp of Sorrows...
Although these metal mechanical bodies also have some magic power, they are much weaker than witchcraft. Coupled with the highly demonic environment of the Lance plane, it would be difficult for even wizards to discover the existence of these metal beings without special caution and careful mental scanning.
So no matter how cautious the dragon people in the distance are, they will not be able to discover these strange creations hidden around them.
In this way, the two sides of the battle are like a one-way mirror separated by a layer. The wizard side can easily learn about the other party's movements, but the dragon people are like a group of blind people, still stepping into the death trap in a daze.
"Unexpectedly, these dragon people brought a group of Dragon Worshipers... how about it, who will lure these Dragon Worshipers away?" As the temporary family leader, Mary had to take on the role of commander.
And beside her, standing proudly were the three blood knights and the old fox Wenlier that Mary had subdued in the knight plane. With the transfer from the goblin plane, they also successfully arrived at the Lance plane.
The battle was imminent, 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 Oliver also came with him, he didn't make a sound. Even at Greem's suggestion, she found a thick black robe to completely wrap herself up.
No way, her dress and breath of life are too special, if she doesn't cover up, she can be easily recognized by those dragon people.
And those who stayed in the tent to wait for orders were the first-level wizards who had just been cultivated by the Crimson Family: Bug Witch Billis, Desera, Medusa Dana, and Manticore Caron. As for the poisonous woman Endor, she is a representative sent by the Alice camp, not a core figure of the Crimson family.
