The plan to intervene in the Red Nest Crypt has been put on hold for the time being, and the intelligence collection work is still going on, and everything is proceeding according to Jose's plan.
But sometimes, you never know which one will come first, tomorrow or the accident.
One day, Jose was awakened by Ergou in his deep sleep.
"Master! Unexpected situation! The excavation team dug through the Underdark!"
"What?!"
Jose jumped down from the golden mountain, grabbed the kobold family members in front of him, and walked quickly to the nine-ring spiral staircase: "Tell me, where is the incident? What's the situation now?"
Ergou was caught by the red dragon, and he explained along the way: "At present, I don't know much information, I only know that a certain kobold excavation team in the south suddenly dug a landslide, and the Underdark is under the hole. "
Jose secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it is not the west, the west of Modo Peak Forest is the Jogor Mountain Range, and the Red Nest Crypt is located below the Jogor Mountain Range.
The south, south and east of Moduo Peak Forest are all dark forests, and the dark region underground here is a completely unknown place.
Although unknown, it is unlikely to be more dangerous than the Red Nest Crypt rich in legendary dragons.
"Now, the nearby guards have been notified. Even if there is any danger in the dark area, we will not be able to break through our defense line in a short time..."
"Well, good job."
Jose couldn't ask for more from the way his family members treated him, so he continued to walk quickly to the scene of the incident.
Under normal circumstances, a large army of monsters can indeed play a blocking role, but common sense cannot be used in the Underdark. If you are unlucky enough to encounter monsters proficient in mind control such as mind flayers, spirit suckers, and magic eye tyrants, the more people there are, the worse it will be .
All the way through many functional crypts such as the monster people's residential area, crop cultivation area, and livestock breeding area, he came to the vicinity of the incident and saw an army of monsters crowded in the tunnel, all armed with weapons and ready to fight the enemy at any time. There are also people building fortifications in the rear.
A gust of wind blows, the air is very fresh, without the dark energy of the original dark area.
This is an Underdark region visited by civilized races.
"Step aside!"
In fact, there is no need for you to remind, the monsters felt a faint majesty of a superior creature approaching, and consciously retreated to both sides of the road to make way for the red dragon.
Under the awe and love eyes of all the monsters, Jose passed through the tunnel unimpeded and came to the scene of the incident.
You don't need to listen to too many explanations, just glance at him to understand what's going on.
This is a newly excavated crypt for the expansion of the underground kingdom. The crypt was only half dug, and the front door collapsed, revealing a huge space—the dark region.
Jose came to the edge of the landslide and looked outside, and saw the upside-down glowing rock not far away, and the wide and secluded land below.
He was in mid-air, close to the top of the rock in the Underdark Region, more than 500 meters above the ground, almost equivalent to the height of a 180-story building.
The "ground" is mostly plain terrain, and there are a few low hills in the distance. In terms of plants, shrubs and weeds are the main ones, with a small amount of tree species unique to the dark region mixed in.
Looking around for a week, Jose made a judgment that the area of the Underdark region is about 100 square kilometers, which is almost equivalent to the area under the jurisdiction of a county, and it is a large Underdark region.
According to the statistics of anthropologists, the possibility of legendary creatures existing in large dark regions is as high as 80%.
Jose's pupils shrank, and he found a village not far below. The buildings in the village were low stone fortresses surrounded by a circle of stone walls.
"The village of the gray dwarves!"
If nothing else, the rulers of this large underdark region are the gray dwarves, and the gray dwarves must have legendary experts, otherwise they would not be able to defend this large underdark region in the cruel underground competition.
Suddenly, Jose felt that someone was secretly looking at him with ill intentions, and this presence was enough to threaten his life. This was not a judgment based on facts, but an advanced biological intuition similar to the sixth sense.
He snapped: "Who is spying in the dark?! Come out!"
He thought that the hidden strong man would not respond to him, but he didn't expect it to come out.
In a grove composed of nearly a hundred trees, two figures slowly flew into the sky, without any surprise, they were two gray dwarves less than 1.3 meters tall.
One of the gray dwarves was in matte armor, holding a square-headed warhammer, his gray beard was braided, and the end was fixed with an iron ring. He stared sternly at the red dragon in the cave in the sky, and exuded an aura of a strong man all over his body. oppressive breath.
The other gray dwarf was wearing a gray robe and holding a metal staff with a transparent gem inlaid on the top. He was half a step behind, as if he was a subordinate.
Jose made a judgment in his mind: the legendary gray dwarf lord and his subordinates.
In addition, what makes the two float is not an element, but an invisible force.
Psionics!
Psychic energy is the embodiment of spiritual power, and it is also a type of spellcaster. Compared with mages and warlocks who use elemental power, psionic users are much rarer and more mysterious, and gray dwarves have psionic talents.
"Dragon! You have invaded Steelbeard's territory!" The dull voice contained murderous intent, and the gray dwarf lord's eyes were piercing, with an aggressive posture.
It's a pity that Jose doesn't accept this set.
What about legends? !
If you have the courage to come here, I will have the courage to run away!
Cough, but the gray dwarf lord doesn't seem to have any intention of rushing over. He just stays in the air to show his legendary power, just like a wild beast roaring in nature, trying to push back the opponent.
Jose probably also understood what he was thinking—he didn't know the situation, and he didn't dare to act rashly, after all, the appearance of his own personnel was really confusing.
A teenage red dragon, a group of well-equipped and well-trained monster fighters.
According to common sense, the juvenile dragon has just begun to build a territory, and it is impossible to have such high-quality fighters. The gray dwarf lord probably believes that there are other powerful five-color dragons behind the juvenile red dragon, so he dare not act rashly.
Jose's idea was correct, the steelbeard gray dwarf lord - Moraine Steelbeard really believed that there was a dragon behind the red dragon, so he didn't dare to do it directly.
"Hmph! Reptiles!"
Jose raised his head and looked at people through his nostrils. His posture and tone were extremely arrogant: "In front of you is the favorite son of the Queen of Five Dragons, the great Francisco Trinidad Jose!"
Known as a reptile, the gray dwarf lord was angry on the surface and clenched his fists tightly, but fear flashed in his eyes.
Although Red Dragon is reckless, he is not stupid, and he knows the truth of running away if he can't beat him.
Facing a strange legendary strong man, a young dragon not only did not run away, but instead made provocative words. If it was not reckless to the point of stupidity, then it had enough confidence.
Combined with a well-trained and well-equipped army of monsters, a high-ranking kobold spellcaster, these are obviously not what a teenage dragon should have.
He became more and more sure that there was a dragon behind the red dragon!
He tentatively said: "Dragon! Provoke the steelbeard gray dwarves! Aren't you afraid of getting yourself into trouble!"
"trouble?"
Jose looked disdainful: "You think too highly of yourself! Reptiles! Great Indestructible Flame! Crimson Wings! Destroyer of Ucador Fortress! King's Terminator! Legendary Slayer! If you strangle you, you will be strangled!" Die like a bedbug!"
From the words of the red dragon, Moraine Steelbeard deduced a lot of information. The nickname of the "master" behind the red dragon is Indestructible Flame and Crimson Wings. Judging from the nickname, it is a red dragon.
The red dragon destroyed a city called Ucador Fortress, killed a king, and killed at least two legendary strongmen.
Can kill kings and legendary powerhouses, this dragon has a high probability of being legendary.
Thinking of this, Moraine Steelbeard felt a little bad, the steelbeard gray dwarf couldn't stop a legendary red dragon.
You must know that the dragon clan is an absolute boss template. A legendary five-member team with a reasonable lineup has only a 50% win rate against the last legendary dragon, and the kill rate is even less than 20%.
And the red dragon is the handle of the five-color dragon, so it is even more powerful.
What he wanted to know about the young red dragon in front of him was himself. As for the King's Terminator and Legendary Slayer, this was simply bragging.
Bragging is bragging, but Jose is a little distressed at this time.
How to round it
If you just retreat like this, the gray dwarf lord in front of you will definitely become suspicious. Your own strength is superior, so why retreat
After all, bragging is not true. If you don't leave, if you really start a war, everything will be exposed.
However, Jose didn't want to go to war, not because he was worried about his own safety. If he was now fully armed, even if he was weaker than Legendary, he would not be much weaker.
Not enough to kill the enemy, but more than self-preservation.
He was worried about casualties. The last time he besieged the legendary warriors, he killed 8,000 elite monster soldiers and tens of thousands of goblin cannon fodder. It also caused the complete collapse of six residential areas and killed thousands of monster residents. .
The price is so heavy that he doesn't want history to repeat itself.
After thinking about it, Jose had an idea in his mind.
"Reptiles! You stand in the way of the Undying Flame! His wrath will befall your city! But..."
"My name is Moraine Steelbeard! My identity is the lord of Steelbeard Castle! If you can't learn how to respect a king! Then I will teach you what is the proper attitude towards the strong!"
"Hmph!" Moraine Steelbeard snorted coldly, and changed his voice: "What did you want to say just now?"
Jose showed a mocking smile, seeing that the gray dwarf lord wanted to hit someone.
However, Jose accepted it as soon as he saw it, and did not continue to tease the nerves of a legendary strong man.
"I can help you from being destroyed! And let you become allies of the great Indestructible Flame! The condition is one thousand gold coins! No! Two thousand gold coins!" As he said, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
In this light Moleini saw greed, greed for wealth.
An unknown dragon! But greedy enough!
"I'm very interested in forming an alliance with a legendary true dragon, but a thousand gold coins is not a small amount! And how do I know you didn't lie to me?! Tell me about your method first!"
"We are at war with another true dragon force. We need a lot of high-quality weapons. Dwarves are good at forging. If you are willing to offer weapons, then I can give you a good word!"
Mo Laini's heart froze, and he confirmed his guess.
Sure enough, these monsters were dug from the Red Nest Crypt, because as far as he knew, only the Red Nest Crypt had legendary five-color dragons fighting endlessly.
The underground world is full of dangers, and various cities and races are intriguing, but there is no information exchange between cities.
Therefore, Moleini had also heard some news about the Red Nest Crypt, but due to the long distance, he hadn't paid much attention to it.
But he never expected that the giant dragon force in the direction of the red nest's crypt would actually dig into its own territory by digging holes.
"Of course, if you dare to take my reward! Then I will propose the great immortal fire, and burn your cities to ashes! Conquer you and your people, and make you lowly slaves! Rooted in the furnace for a lifetime, work till Die!" Red Dragon's tone was eerie and extremely firm, making people feel his determination.
The lord of the gray dwarves—Molaine Steelbeard's complexion changed, and his eyes widened with anger. He was furious at the words of the red dragon, and wished he could kill him, but he didn't dare.
Moraine Steelbeard! You must calm down!
He warned himself in his heart: Doing it at this time will bring about the destruction of Steelbeard Castle.
It is not difficult for a legendary dragon to destroy a city without the protection of magic towers.
If Fort Steelbeard is destroyed, then what the Red Dragon threatens will most likely become a reality.
"Well, that's right," Jose continued, "If you can provide 10,000 gold coins as a reward, I can help you get better treatment."
"For example, convince the higher-ups to use food as a reward to exchange weapons with you."
Moraine Steelbeard asked curiously, "Do you have a lot of food?"
"It's not much, but these lowly embryos can eat grass!" The red dragon pointed at the monster beside him nonchalantly.
Ah! Worthy of being a dragon!
…………………
Three days later, the original crypt collapsed, and a narrow stone ladder went down the stone wall to the ground of the Underdark region. The junction point was not far from the gray dwarf village.
Verbal allies have low trust between the two sides, trading in this nameless town.
Accompanied by the clicking sound of the gears, the specially-made large elevator lowered the food, ore and other materials, and raised them to bring back the weapons made by the gray dwarves.
The weapons and equipment produced by these dwarves are well-made, all of which are high-quality goods, and can be sold at high prices no matter where they are.
But before the guards are fully armed, Jose does not intend to let the gray dwarf products spread to the outside world.
And he wasn't sure how long the deal with the gray dwarves would last. If the gray dwarves of Steelbeard Fort found out that they had been cheated, they would cut off contact at least, or start a war at worst.
In this regard, Jose must prepare for the worst.
Molten Core.
Jose is practicing magic by the lava lake, the magic is bumping and exploding on the lava lake, and the lava waves are surging.
As a time traveler, he is deeply aware of the advantages of magic over other powers, and is willing to make efforts to obtain this power.
Thanks to Mustache Moe for the 600 coin reward, to waryer for the 500 coin reward, to the Garden of Light for the 500 coin reward, to Yayla for the 200 coin reward, and to xiaotang246 for the 100 coin reward.
