Ten minutes later.
Jose flapped his wings and flew in the sky, and witnessed Hornasd blowing flames from his hands and burning the last drow into coke. He looked around and scanned the land, but the legendary thief still did not appear.
This is also to be expected.
Failure is a foregone conclusion, and it doesn't make sense for the legendary thieves to stay on.
"You're lucky."
On the other side, Jose sent the wage earner - Hornaster away, and brought the white dragon down to the ground.
Sweeping the battlefield is the exclusive right of the victor. The monster army is now scattered everywhere, collecting the loot from drow corpses, and gathering the remaining drow slave soldiers together...
Under the adoring eyes of all the monsters, the red dragon landed on the ground.
The most frightening thing about the legendary thief is not his combat power, but his stealth ability. Just in case, the red dragon is still vigilant about his surroundings, and he utters the spell quickly.
Anti-stealth enchantment!
The anti-stealth barrier enveloped the red dragon for 500 meters, and there was nothing abnormal when he looked around. Only then did Jose feel relieved and looked at the army commander, Ergo Bloodtooth, who was walking quickly.
"Master, we have been..."
Jose raised his hand to interrupt the family member's explanation: "Tell me the information you have collected about Black Bone City."
"As ordered."
After bowing his head and organizing his speech, Ergou continued: "According to the confession of the prisoners of war, the population of the drow ruled by Black Bone City is as high as 100,000, and there are also 100,000 slaves. Their territory is a huge Underdark."
Hearing this, Jose frowned, and the Underdark was divided into small, medium, large, and giant according to its area.
The first three are all divided according to the size of the area, and there is only one condition for the division of giants, and that is to have a complete atmospheric circulation, that is to say, giant dark regions have natural weather phenomena such as rain and snow.
"Continue, talk about who is strong, especially the legendary thief today."
You Gou's face was embarrassed: "I'm sorry, master, the subordinates are incompetent and have not collected information about that thief."
"Then say you know."
"Yes, the legendary priest—Julia Hill is the supreme ruler of Black Bone City. According to the current information, this Julia Hill is very special. She is completely different from the drow priest in my impression."
"what is the difference?"
"Normal drow priests are cruel, sadistic, and rule the city with fear, but this Julia of Black Bone City, she..."
You Gou was a little short of words and didn't know how to describe it. After a pause, he came up with a suitable saying: "She has a good reputation."
"Good reputation?" Jose frowned.
How could such an evaluation appear on a drow priest
Er Gou continued to explain: "According to the information collected, this drow priest has a good reputation."
When something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
Jose never believed that the drow priests would become kind. This is as absurd as the dragon's dislike of gold coins. He continued to ask, "Where did the news come from?"
"In the beginning, it was tortured from the mouths of captured drow soldiers. When I got the news, I didn't believe it. I personally used magic to interrogate, and then I asked other drow captives to verify. The result was the same. The drow of Black Bone City Love Julia, emmm…”
After pondering for a moment, Ergou continued: "The words of a male drow can even be said to be admiration?"
"Admiration?!" Jose was very surprised.
Strange things happen every year, especially this year.
You must know that the higher the degree of spiritual compatibility between the priest and the god he believes in, the easier it is to get favor and the stronger the strength.
And the spider queen—Rose, that is the big pervert and old coin known throughout the multiverse.
It's okay for some male drow with unique hobbies to admire priests, but for the whole city, this is very abnormal.
Jose looked around and saw the drow body that was still smoking.
He began to regret ordering to kill all the drows, and there was no one who could be interrogated.
But that's okay.
Jose caught a glimpse of the monsters being captured under intensive care. These captives were slave soldiers from Black Bone City. They also lived in Black Bone City and knew some news more or less.
"Bring him here," Jose pointed to the Gnoll who was guarded by the Kobold not far away. He was a high-ranking warrior, and he presumably had a high status among the slaves.
According to what the red dragon said, the wolf man with sticky tufts of hair was brought over.
That's right, "pull".
Even if he was a high-ranking warrior, this jackal was treated no differently from other ordinary slaves, with a spiked collar around his neck.
The jackal stood still in front of the red dragon, shrugged his head, and looked at the red dragon's front paws, not daring to look up.
Jose frowned. Perhaps it is more appropriate to call this jackal man a wild dog man, no matter in terms of spirit or image.
"name!"
The red dragon's voice was cold, and the wolf man's body trembled, and he replied tremblingly: "Ha...Haer."
Howl
Jose raised his brows. In Elf language, "Hal" means slave.
In other words, this Jackal man had no name at all, and was referred to as a slave.
A thought flashed through his mind, and he was relieved.
A giant drow city like Black Bone City must have a long history, and the history of slavery is not as short as that. After generations of domestication, the vicious wolf man has become a cowardly wild dog man.
When he thought of this, Jose couldn't help feeling a little emotional, and at the same time began to understand the situation of these slaves.
A drow corpse flew out of nowhere and landed in front of the wild dog man Hal. At the same time, an epee with a broken tip flew over, and the broken sword was suspended in front of Hal.
"Take it!"
The voice of the red dragon was beyond doubt, and Hal grasped the hilt of the sword reflexively.
"Head up!"
Hal did as he did, raising his face covered in clusters of pollutants, avoiding his eyes and daring not to look directly at the red dragon.
Jose pointed at Drow's body, and continued to order: "Cut him!"
The Jackal hesitated a little, not daring to make a move against his former master.
"I order you! Cut him down!" While roaring, Jose used some Longwei.
Long Wei overwhelmed the fear of drow in the wolf man's heart, and slashed the first knife fiercely.
"Very good! Chop him up for me!"
With the beginning, the jackal no longer hesitated, and chopped down again.
One knife after another, the speed became faster and faster, the eyes of the wolf man gradually became bloodshot, and a wild growl came out of his throat. The roar grew from small to loud, attracting the attention of everyone including the prisoners of war.
Woohoo!
The jackal looked like a madman, raised his head and howled like a wolf, raised his broken sword aloft, and slashed at the ground with all his strength.
Click!
With too much force, the broken sword flew away from his hand.
The jackal reached out to pick up the broken sword on the ground, but the broken sword was stepped on by a huge dragon claw.
The jackal suddenly raised his head and grinned at the red dragon. His cowardly eyes were now bloodshot, like a wild beast, but the last trace of reason in his heart stopped his urge to attack the red dragon.
Looking at the jackal who was called back to the wild, Jose was satisfied.
Without any spells or actions, a flame appeared out of thin air, burning off the collar on the wolf man's neck without touching the hair of the wolf man.
click.
The collar fell to the ground, and the iron spikes collided with the stone to make a crisp sound.
Gnoll—Hal was taken aback, the madness in his eyes gradually dissipated, he numbly touched his neck, he touched his hair.
This is the first time since birth that he has tasted the feeling of not being restrained by a collar.
After experiencing the initial bewilderment, he was excited and uplifted...
The feeling of freedom is so wonderful!
"Slave! You were once a slave!"
The red dragon's deep voice sounded: "Now! You are still a slave! It's just that the object of your allegiance has changed!"
"I! The Great Dragon-Francisco Trinidad Jose is your new master!"
Hal raised his head, growled angrily, and clenched his fists.
Have tried the taste of freedom, can you be willing to be chained again? !
"I am very different from your former master! I don't like, and I don't need wild dogs lingering!"
Jose stared at the angry Gnoll, exuding a faint but extremely pure dragon prestige: "With me! Even slaves have a chance! There is a chance to stand up!"
Jose looked around and said loudly: "Now, I will give you a chance! The heads of five drows! Cut off the heads of five drows and give them to me! I will give you freedom!"
"Otherwise, go die and die with honor as a soldier! Take off their collars!"
The second half of the sentence is an order to the monster army. The monster army obeyed the red dragon's order and took off the collars on the slaves' necks. A large number of slave collars were thrown on the ground.
At this time, a lizard man saw the drow's corpse on the ground, and was taken aback for a moment, then immediately reacted, picked up the broken blade on the ground, and slashed at the drow's neck.
Got a head!
Immediately, all the prisoners of war came to their senses and rushed to the drow corpse on the ground. The monster army didn't know what to do, so they let it go.
"Master, is this a foul?"
On the side, Ergou's tone was somewhat dissatisfied: "These cunning guys!"
"Cunning? This is a reasonable use of a loophole in the rules," Jose said disapprovingly, and even gave the lizard man who first snatched drow's head an approving look.
The lizardman sparked a scramble for the drow's corpse, which in José's eyes did more good than harm.
First of all, this battle to snatch the drow's body can dispel the remaining fear in the hearts of slave soldiers.
Secondly, the total number of drow corpses is only 3,000, some of which have been reduced to ashes, and the number of captive monsters is 6,000. How many monsters can gather five drow heads.
In the end, in this chaotic battle, five monsters managed to collect five drow heads. Among them was the high-ranking wolf warrior-Hal, who grabbed five drow heads by virtue of his strength.
Except for Hal, the rest are also strong, at least mid-level professionals.
José kept his promise, set the five people free, recruited them to join his army on the spot, and distributed weapons and armor.
"Great Dragon, Hal is willing to serve you forever..."
……………………………
On the other side, Black Bone City.
Five people embraced the thick giant stone pillars to prop up the dark space, the magic circle in the center of the space lit up with dazzling purple light, and a distressed figure appeared out of thin air.
After confirming that he was safe, the legendary drow thief-Ali Eddie put his hands on his knees and panted heavily.
"It's dangerous!"
Recalling the short minute of being chased by the red dragon, he couldn't help shivering. In one minute, he actually swam on the verge of death seven times.
There was no time to celebrate the rest of his life, Ali walked quickly to the door of the teleportation room, while walking, the short sword in his hand was spinning, and the sharp edge of the sword danced on his head.
The moment he opened the door, he rearranged his image and walked towards the temple lined with guards.
All the way was unimpeded, he came to the temple, saw the figure of Miaoman praying to him in front of the statue of the Spider Queen, walked not far behind the figure of Miaoman and waited with his hands down.
Not long after, Miaoman's figure turned around, revealing a girlish face with a smile on her face.
Seeing the short-haired image of the legendary thief, a strange look flashed in the girl's eyes, and then she looked carefully, trying to judge some information from the image of the thief.
The dry and crusty skin is the trace of the flames, and the mud left in the seams of the clothes is the evidence of fleeing in a panic.
"Why are you in such a mess?" The girl's voice was soft, like a green girl greeting her lover with concern.
The gentle voice came to his ears, but Ali Eddy didn't feel any warmth in his heart. He knew what kind of vicious heart this seemingly innocent "girl" in front of him had, the bottomless city, and the uncontested... powerful force.
"Things have changed, Lord Julia, the red dragon has appeared."
Recalling what happened just now, he still felt lingering fear, swallowed his saliva: "I tried to assassinate him, but failed, and almost couldn't come back."
The ruler of Black Bone City—Julia Hill's eyes froze when she heard the words, and the legendary thief who was best at saving her life almost couldn't come back. The strength of the red dragon is self-evident.
"What ability did he use?"
The thief replied truthfully: "Dragon's Breath, Longwei, and a meteor fire shower covering a wide area."
Julia remained calm, and turned to face the majestic and evil statue of the Spider Queen: "Go back, order the major families to take charge of their own territory, otherwise, you will bear the consequences."
"Yes!" Ali Eddy bowed slightly, and then backed out.
The drow priest stood alone in front of the statue, recalling the message from the red dragon, and muttered to himself: "Jose..."
The first time I heard this name was half a year ago, when several drow refugees traveled through the wilderness and came to Black Bone City after untold hardships.
The embarrassed outsider was naturally questioned carefully, and the truth of the news was tested by magic.
Through the mouths of the drow refugees, Julia heard the name "Jose" for the first time.
A flaming red dragon with powerful spellcasting ability was impressive, but she didn't care.
Dark Moon City is far away from Black Bone City, and Black Bone City is much stronger than Dark Moon City. Taking all factors into consideration, she judged that the Red Dragon poses little threat to Black Bone City
But what she never expected was that half a year later, she heard the name "Jose" again from a tortured kobold prisoner of war.
This time, the army of the Red Dragon appeared at the door of the house.
Julia looked at the statue, stared at the lower body of the Spider Queen, and muttered to herself with complicated eyes: "It's an eventful autumn..."
