On the Jinshan Mountain, the red dragon lay in a pan with its eyes closed, not sleeping, but thinking about problems.
The trip to Yangfan Port was not smooth.
Hulk's visit was not received by the legendary mage, which is expected, after all, what status is the legendary mage, but the person who was sent to receive Hulk dealt with Hulk in a perfunctory manner, and refused to accept it on the grounds of organizational regulations. Selling any controlled substance was a bit of a surprise to Jose.
Why
Could it be that he couldn't see that the Dana people on the grassland were actually coming to Yangfan Port
Absolutely impossible, business is all about news, and the trading city-state behind Yangfan Port is one of the most well-informed organizations in the whole continent.
Jose has been thinking about the reason why Yangfan Port did this, and thought of two possibilities.
One is arrogance, they look down on wild boars, who are natives of the grassland, and are unwilling to even wait or negotiate.
Second, Yangfan Port did not regard itself and other "evil dragons" as cooperative partners at all, and held a suspicious and hostile attitude.
After some deep thinking and familiarization, Jose was more inclined to the second point.
The five-color dragon clan is a natural villain, and Yang Fangang is worried that the controlled items will flow into the hands of the evil dragon and become weapons against him in the future.
As for the fact that they have a common enemy, Yangfangang is not afraid that the three dragons will not work hard, because the result of not working hard is to be destroyed by the Dana people.
Maybe even if there were no Dana people, the one from Yangfan Port would have planned to kill the evil dragon before it grew up. After all, there was a lesson from the Red Nest Mistress.
"It seems that we have to adjust our attitude towards Sunsail Port and Dana Kingdom, we can't hang ourselves from a single tree," Jose muttered to himself.
He has always had a natural attitude towards the commercial development in the territory, so much so that the Yangfan Port Chamber of Commerce took advantage of Hulk's relationship to occupy most of the commercial market in the middle of the prairie.
Now, he plans to make some adjustments, let Yangfan Port, a free eater, spit out what he eats, and play a balance game between Dana Kingdom and Yangfan Port.
But now the Dana people are coming to call, do you want peace talks
Almost instantly, Jose dismissed the idea of peace talks.
beat!
Must fight!
And hit hard!
Then start the negotiation with the attitude of the winner.
If this is not done, the outside world will think that the giant dragon has exchanged weakness for peace, and the rule of the three dragons on the Triangle Plain and Moduo Peak Forest will be questioned, leaving hidden dangers.
What's more, even without Yangfangang's help, Jose didn't think he would lose. So far, most of the cards in Moduo Peak Forest have not been revealed yet.
Although he has decided to play a balance game, this does not affect his use of Yangfan Harbor to deal with the Dana people.
Under Jose's instruction, Hulk has one more task.
In the dead of night, after a busy day, Hulk reported to the Red Dragon in the hotel.
"Master, the man's identity has been clarified, and it went smoothly than expected. There is his information in the Conch Chamber of Commerce. The man's name is Pinnock, a master warrior. He is a hero of the Dana people. He once He has achieved brilliant results on the battlefields of the Kingdom of Dana and the Kingdom of Odyssey. He was born into a viscount aristocratic family, and his fief is in... "
"Sure enough, a viscount aristocratic family, not too big or too small, is just right to take the blame," Jose said mockingly.
Thinking in another way, he figured out what the king of Dana King City was thinking, and used a battle hero with a weak background as the leader. On the one hand, the battle hero itself has certain strength and ability to guarantee victory to the maximum extent. On the other hand, If it fails, if necessary, push out the viscount noble family to appease the dragon's anger and reduce the loss of the kingdom to an acceptable range.
"It's a good plan..."
Jose was thinking while listening to the report of his family members.
"...We have also negotiated with the chamber of commerce. Most of the chambers of commerce said that it will take time to decide, but there are also three chambers of commerce that have made it clear that they support us in fighting against the Dana people. The Conch Chamber of Commerce and the White Raven Chamber of Commerce..."
"In addition, master, I have already contacted the seller about the purchase plan you just explained, and I will go to see the goods tomorrow."
"Well, these things are hard for you."
"It is an honor to serve my master."
Jose disconnected his mind connection, looking forward to Hulk's actions.
In terms of controlled items, if the Yangfan Port officials can't do it, they can only think of other ways.
Under any ruling force, there is room for shadows to grow, black market, smuggling, etc. The rats in these gutters have great powers, as long as the price is right, most of the contraband is no problem.
Jose didn't want any unconventional contraband, so naturally there was nothing wrong with it, but the price might be much higher than the market price.
Of course, his procurement of contraband was not entirely to deal with the Dana people.
In the dark crypt deep underground in the Mordo Peak Forest, there is a little-known magic research and development organization named [Burning Wings], which means that the organization is as important as the red dragon's wings, and it is the red dragon's The fundamental guarantee for the take-off of the forces under his command.
This institution exists for only one purpose, and that is to research and develop all matters related to magic. The explosive barrel is the joint achievement of Jose and [Burning Wings].
Ten years ago, after unifying the Triangular Plain, Jose created [Burning Wings], recruiting natives with magical talent to join, sharing the collected magic information, and investing a lot of resources for the talented natives to learn, progress, and research.
In the past eight years, [Burning Wings] has not produced any output. It was not until the past two years that the original accumulation was completed, and it began to get on the right track, and it was exposed to some less dangerous magic research.
Jose originally planned to buy contraband for [Burning Wings] to study and imitate, but the arrival of the Dana people only accelerated this process.
And he sent the tauren blacksmith Hebul to visit his dwarf teacher, the purpose is to win over the master dwarf blacksmith and get some alloy formulas mastered by the dwarves.
The planned goal here has been completed. Although the master dwarf blacksmith rejected the Red Dragon's solicitation, he gave some formulas to Hebble for the sake of apprentices, gold coins and a large amount of fire metal magic mines, although they are not the top alloy formulas. , but it is enough for the current Red Dragon forces to digest for a while.
Time passed day by day, Hulk and his party returned safely with the harvest, and the promise of the Chamber of Commerce began to be fulfilled. Some grassland natives under their control expressed their closeness to the Triangle Plain.
The prairie tribe that can be controlled by the Chamber of Commerce is not a big tribe, but it is by no means an inconspicuous small tribe. Similar to the gray-tailed centaur, it can be regarded as the backbone of the prairie natives.
Naturally, the movement of the grassland natives cannot be concealed from the Dana people who have been spying secretly.
Deep in the middle of the prairie, in the tent of the super-large orc tribe—Stonehammer orc tribe.
"Damn it! This evil dragon is too difficult to deal with!"
Pinnock slapped the table, and said to the witch beside him, "We can't wait any longer! First, we coerced the Windtalkers Alliance, so that they couldn't make a move! Now we're trying to win over the natives of the grassland. If we continue like this, we don't need to fight anymore! go home!"
The witch calmly asked, "Where is the army now?"
"Already on the way, this dragon never expected that our army would suddenly appear on the grassland." After a pause, Pinnock continued: "Thanks to the information from your witch council, who would have thought that the Red Nest Matron has dug through the Jogor Mountains secretly."
"I have to warn you, the terrain of the Red Nest Mistress's underground kingdom is complicated, and there are even remnants of evil dragons. Our witch council has only found out a small part, so don't let the army deviate from the designated route."
"Understood, don't worry, the troops we sent are all veterans who have withdrawn from the front line. Orders and regulations are prohibited, let's not talk about this. How about your side? How many natives are willing to fight the dragon with us?"
"Many natives are afraid of the evil dragon, and they don't help each other, but fortunately, the brown-skinned wild boar and the hydra centaur were taken down."
"Very good!" Pinnock clenched his fists: "With the addition of the stone hammer orcs, the three super-large tribes in the middle of the grassland have all gathered."
Staring at the map on the desktop, Pinnock continued: "The three major tribes can provide 40,000 troops combined, the kingdom's 10,000 elite veterans, and other grassland natives can get 30,000 troops, 80,000 troops. Coupled with the secret weapon prepared by the kingdom, it is enough to wipe out the evil dragon forces!"
There were footsteps outside the house, and the two stopped talking, watching the opened tent door, a strong orc who was three heads taller than Pinnock walked in stooping.
The orc looked at the two humans in the tent, and let out two snorts from his huge flat nose, showing no respect for the two humans in the tent.
In fact, if the man in front of him hadn't proposed a condition that the Stone Hammer tribe could not refuse, Sangga Stone Hammer would have turned his sword against them the moment he saw them.
"What's the matter? Son of the Stone Hammer," Pinnock was not angry at the orc's arrogant attitude. After all, he had a request to the Stone Hammer tribe, so he had to be more polite to the son of the chief.
"A mysterious human came from outside the tribe. He said he was your friend and wanted to see you," Sangga Shihammer said in a disdainful tone. It's the act of a scumbag.
Soon after, the mysterious person in the orc population came to the tent.
"It's you?!" If it wasn't for the familiar aura, Shanana would hardly have recognized that the person in front of her was the blonde mage she had discussed with earlier—Billis.
Now Bilis' hair has become gray and dry, and the skin on her face is wrinkled, looking like an old woman.
"I'm sorry, the evil dragon threatened us with the lives of our companions, and the Windtalkers Alliance can't provide much help," said an old woman, but the voice was a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old.
Bi Lisi continued: "I come from the south, and no one in the north knows me well. I will pretend to continue to fulfill my promise, and I can help you deal with the evil dragon secretly."
A powerful Master-Level Master joins, and the two naturally welcome with both hands and feet.
"Also, I also brought some newcomers who want to join the Windtalker Alliance. They have already sneaked into the Triangular Plain. I hope it will be useful."
"Thank you for your efforts, Your Excellency Biris, since you are now on the same side as us, there are some things that I need to let you know."
Pinnock pointed to the map, pointing at the edge of the triangular plain: "In three days, our army will gather here to attack the evil dragon... Before that, I hope your people can help collect information, and it is best to destroy the enemy The strategic material warehouse of ... "
… … … … … … …
Underneath the Moduo Peak Forest, in the meeting square, the red, green, and white three dragons gathered, and the high-level monsters under the command of the three dragons gathered.
The Big Three of the Kobolds: Red Dragon's number one dog leg - Ergo Bloodtooth, Kobold Chieftain - Soda Bloodtooth, Kobold's number one warrior - Hasa Bloodclaw.
The three giants of the wild boar: the high-ranking warrior-level chief of the stone tooth - Udi Stone tooth, the high priest of the stone tooth wild boar - Villar Stone tooth, the treasurer and intelligence chief - Hulk Stone tooth.
Gnoll Warrior Leader - Hogg Riverpaw, Gnoll High Mystic - Mossa Mosskin, Ogre Leader - Agron Stonebreaker, Harpy Leader - Luna Bloodfeather, and The chieftain of the murlocs under the White Dragon—Zaka Zifin.
Looking at the family members below, Jose was full of pride.
In the past ten years, the monster army has developed rapidly, and the strength of the leaders of the major monsters has also increased.
Not long ago, the kobold whom the Red Dragon had been optimistic about—Hasa Bloodclaw made a breakthrough and became the first high-level kobold warrior. Luna Bloodfeather, who had long been a mid-level mage, also successfully broke through to high-level kobolds. Faye.
Two followers, plus the wild boar chief who broke through earlier, and the high-ranking wolfman mystic Mosa Mosskin under the command of the green dragon, the number of high-ranking followers that the three dragons can mobilize reaches four.
In addition, Er Gouzi is also the two major spellcasting professions of mid-level dragon warlock and mid-level mage, and his combat power is not weaker than that of ordinary high-level professionals. The ogre leader of mid-level fighters—Agron Stonebreaker, with his racial advantages, It can also deal with ordinary high-level professionals.
In addition to these loyal followers, the red dragon also has high-level elf druids and centaur girls who are forcibly enslaved, and they can also go into battle when they have to.
With eight high-level combat powers and numerous monster armies, the Red Dragon's power is not what it used to be.
Jose clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Everyone, I just received the news that our enemy has started to move!"
As he said that, a yellow map of the Northland was held up by an invisible force, floating in the air, and using magic to magnify the image.
The family members saw eye-catching red dots lit up on the map. Most of these red dots were concentrated in the north of the Triangular Plain, in the center of the prairie, and there were three particularly eye-catching big red dots.
"Stonehammer orcs! Hydralisk centaurs! Brown-skinned wild boars! The three giant tribes are all mobilizing troops! In addition, there are also vassal tribes of the three tribes, as well as some large and medium-sized indigenous tribes. According to preliminary estimates, the enemy has launched at least six Thousands of troops, even 70,000 or 80,000!"
Jose glanced at the family members and found that although they were surprised, they were not afraid at all and were satisfied in their hearts.
To be honest, when he first got the news, Jose was also taken aback. He didn't expect that the kingdom of Dana would be so generous and persuade the three giant tribes.
The brown-skinned wild boar, an enemy who has fought a battle, is okay to talk about, but the stone hammer orc and the hydra centaur need the Dana Kingdom to show tangible benefits before they can talk.
The Stonehammer orc tribe has a chief at the peak master level, and although the Hydra Centaur does not have a peak master professional, it has a couple of chiefs who have just entered the master level, three of them plus a large number of fighters.
Facing such a powerful enemy, Jose was not afraid.
Without the participation of legendary powerhouses, large-scale group operations are not more powerful than anyone else, but better than the quality of the army, intelligence capabilities, logistical support, etc. These are the strengths of the three dragons.
Therefore, even if the three dragons had only 40,000 regular troops, they were not in vain in the face of an enemy nearly twice as large as themselves. What's more, the three dragons also had grassland natives who took refuge in them, as well as a large number of goblins and murloc cannon fodder.
"I see calmness in your eyes, which is very good," Jose continued, "There is no need to be afraid. The enemy seems to be numerous, but there are only 20,000 to 30,000 elites who are really capable of fighting! The others are just called up temporarily. Farmers, hunters, herdsmen!"
"And they have our spies in their army..."
What the enemy did not expect was how serious the intelligence agencies under the Red Dragon had penetrated the ordinary grassland indigenous tribes these years. Not to mention the super-large tribes with a population of more than 50,000, they only penetrated some low-level people. Some elites of large tribes were instigated. As for the medium-sized tribes, some high-level tribesmen took refuge in the red dragon.
In the army launched by the Dana, there are hundreds of people who are spies of the red dragon.
After boosting his own morale, Jose assigned tasks and ordered the various monster races to prepare for war.
Underneath the Moduo Peak Forest, while the terrifying war machine was running at full capacity, the three dragons gathered together for a small meeting.
"Cassie, Olivia, I'm a little worried. So far, we still haven't found the Dana army, there's no movement at the Dulong Pass, and there's no news from the barbarian tribes in the west."
"Could it be that the Dana people didn't dispatch troops at all?" Cassie frowned and expressed his thoughts.
"There is a certain possibility, but the possibility is very small. The leader of the enemy is a battle hero who retired from the battlefield, and he is also a commander who is proficient in strategy. How could the commander have no soldiers under his command? The enemy may have used some unknown method to avoid Eyeliner on us, but they can't avoid the water."
People have to drink water, and there are many tributaries of the Volga River on the grassland, which can be used for people to get water. Jose looked at Bailong.
"Cassie, let your murlocs keep an eye on you. Now, the best hope of finding the hidden enemy lies on you."
