If there is any legendary figure or epic hero in the current empire, then there is no doubt that it must be the current grand marshal of the empire, the dragon-riding commander Retusus who is known as the strong wall of the empire.
Like many children in the Dota Continent, Gronn can be said to have grown up listening to the legendary stories of this great hero, and he never tires of listening to the bards about Retusus, no matter which version they are. Although many of the contents of these bards are conflicting, for example, regarding the life experience of Retusus, some records describe him as the illegitimate son of the emperor of the empire at that time and an unnamed prince, while others describe him He became a descendant of a down-and-out wealthy aristocrat, and some even said that he had the blood of elven slaves flowing in his body... Gronn knew from a long time ago that those bards had been artistically modified by the narrators, and some were even processed repeatedly, and they were not consistent with the real history. Very different. Just like some of the secrets of the ancient war between gods that he learned from the Succubus Queen in the abyss of hell not long ago, it is almost like the history of two planes with the existing records.
But Retusus is a "living legend" after all, and his existence itself is a vast epic. "Twelve impossible tasks", "Killing the Flying Lion King of Miami", "Fooling the cruel lord of the Sun Dynasty", "Adventure in the Underworld", "Love and hate with the Night Elf Queen"... this As long as one or two of the heroic epics written by Letusus as the protagonist are true, then Letusus is worthy of the name of a legendary hero. What's more, one of the legends does not need to be proved at all, because the evidence has always been Just live in Montenegro...
The greatest achievement that Retusus accomplished was not the legendary events he created as an adventurer, nor was it his return to the Empire as Grand Marshal of the Legion during a national crisis. In a desperate situation, he miraculously defeated the invading coalition forces of Emilo's Millennium Empire and the Sun Dynasty, and frightened all the tribes to protect the empire. Retusus is the most talked about. It was he who succeeded in marrying an incredible wife, a great being that humans could only look up to in the past. The seventh-level emerald dragon princess... Ysera.
The love story between Retusus and Ysera is the most confusing in the bardic poetry. Every poem and every author insists that what they describe is true, but the content of their stories is varied. , there is almost no connection or similarity between them. Although the two protagonists of the incident hid themselves from the court, they never mentioned their stories to anyone. Instead, this destined to be extraordinary story has been shrouded in a cloud of mystery. Of course, no one doubts the authenticity of this great achievement, because the noble dragon princess now lives in this imperial capital, and even lives every day like an ordinary wealthy lady. Ordinary even makes people forget her incredible true identity intentionally or unintentionally.
When Gron first heard that his mother was forcibly taken away by this legendary hero with his invincible army during an underground auction, the helplessness and grief in his heart were beyond words. If the fairy tale circus is a mountain-based circus, As for the king's sixth-level wild dragon, then Retusus, who has dominated the world for nearly a hundred years and has served as the patron saint of the strongest empire on the mainland, is the legendary king of dragons. It is an existence that Gron cannot imagine.
This time he ventured into Montenegro. Although his plan was to find the giant monster Rafana and rescue her, it was a situation he could not imagine the most. Just to overcome the obstruction of the legendary hero Retusus, I have no idea how to deal with this epic hero Gronn. Even if he has many cards, his future achievements are immeasurable. He also dared not imagine that he could defeat this imperial wall who was said to have advanced to the seventh level of the divine realm a hundred years ago and achieved the "strongest reputation" with his own strength.
But now, Goron had to face this legend head-on. Although the dragon rider in front of him, Rhine Dorag, claimed that he came on the order of Retusus' wife, the Emerald Dragon Princess Ysera. But what difference does that make. No, in a sense. Meeting this legendary dragon would probably be even worse, because Gronn couldn't guess what he would encounter or what would happen.
"Who is this person you killed?" Goron's head was in confusion. He didn't know how he should respond to the "invitation" from the cold dragon knight general Rhine. After seeing the corpse of the rat girl Xiaomi, he had an idea and moved accordingly. Topic said.
"have no idea."
"Don't know? Then why did you kill her?"
"Because he and another fat man stood in front of me, because she is not human, and... because she has pretty good skills and is worth killing."
Dragon Rider General Rhine gave Gronn three answers in a row, but he could only shake his head and sigh in secret. He was as powerful as a formal member of the fairy tale circus, but in front of this imperial general, he was just a small character who could be killed casually. Look. Even if I try my best, I won't be able to defeat him. Although Goron had never seen Xiaomi's fighting posture, he was deeply impressed by her dexterity and agility. If she didn't even have a chance to escape, then he wouldn't have to make any escape plans.
"I need to go back... to change clothes." Goron looked down at himself and said with a wry smile: "It would be very rude for me to see Lord Ysera like this."
Rhine was silent, but seemed to acquiesce to Goron's proposal. After all, Goron was really hard to see people like this. Goron was also completely desperate. He turned around and walked towards the cart, pushing it towards Baron Kulahan's mansion. Rhine followed him silently, but perhaps his curiosity finally defeated the cold image he had deliberately maintained, so the dragon knight general couldn't help but ask: "What do you plan to use for these things?" do what?"
For an imperial general who is galloping on the battlefield, he has seen too many scenes of broken arms and body parts littering the fields. Even if Gron's cart is a hundred times and a thousand times bloodier, he will not feel anything when he sees it, let alone No one cares about where these corpses were obtained. Those are the affairs of the Imperial City Guard. What really made him curious was that Goron, a young boy, could push this kind of thing forward without changing his expression.
Before coming here, Rhine already knew who his mission target was. It was a peerless young man who suddenly appeared in the imperial capital of Montenegro like a comet. A peerless beauty that caused many wealthy nobles to fight over each other. Before meeting the legendary "Gloria Xiuwen", Rhine's impression of this beautiful boy was that of a young girl in cross-dressing who was as delicate and delicate as a flower. And this fits the description of him in the rumors. But in fact, what Rhine saw was a dirty person. He was like a dirty kid walking out of a slum, and he was actually pushing a cart full of human broken arms and limbs. If it weren't for the fact that Goron's face is very similar to that "the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital". If there is no possibility of admitting his mistake with General Dragoon's eyesight, General Dragoon Rhine will definitely think that he has found the wrong person.
"I... raised an ogre, and his food problem... is not easy to solve."
Gron was very glad that General Rhine's question was not where he got these things, but how to use them. This question was not difficult to answer, because since Gron appeared in Montenegro, the imperial capital, he has been carrying it with him. An ogre, and this is no secret.
"Is that ogre awake yet?"
"Um."
"... I'm curious, how did you tame it? Or, how did you not become a snack in the ogre's mouth when dealing with them?" Rhine was obviously very interested in this question and asked this question He even took off the full-face helmet on his head, revealing a sunny and handsome face. This capable subordinate who was relied upon by the Imperial Marshal actually looked very young, no more than thirty at most. age.
"I have killed many ogres, and I have also tried to train ogres to be used as battlefield cannon fodder. But all of them failed. The slave trainers I found were either eaten by the ogres they trained, or they could not grasp the importance of taking precious ogres. The ogre slaves were beaten to death. In short, no one could make these rough-skinned people understand what obedience and discipline are except for letting the ogres fight in the arena. The rumors about you are very curious. I heard that you have been protecting a rare one-eyed ogre, and you also told others that that guy once protected you. To be honest, I think you are lying."
Although the ogre would not be casually angry when his fellow humans were scorned and tortured, Gronn had the urge to get angry on the spot after hearing what the dragon knight said. But the reason and forbearance endowed by the human blood in his body stopped him in time. Goron lowered his head and replied in a nonchalant tone: "It's very simple. Just get them some delicious food."
"But can't ogres even eat carrion and weeds?"
"But that doesn't mean they like to eat that kind of food. If you communicate well with them..."
"Are you kidding me? Do you want me to communicate with the ogre?"
…
After a few words of conversation, Goron suddenly got a little understanding of this powerful dragon rider general. To put it simply, this guy is a simple-minded fighting madman, and he is very interested in using powerful slave warriors to replace human soldiers as battlefield cannon fodder. He was interested, not because he cherished his subordinates and hoped to reduce the casualties of lower-level soldiers, but because this guy was an avid gladiatorial enthusiast, and especially liked the powerful and violent demihuman war slaves to fight each other.
Gron was already very disgusted with this guy, but after taking off his helmet, this guy's previous cold temperament disappeared. He turned out to be a complete chatterer, and he kept talking to himself regardless of whether Gron answered. The two of them walked like this for a while, and arrived at Baron Kulahan's mansion. They were still far away from the gate, when they heard a burst of honest and cheerful shouts. The ogre Chopper had already come out to greet him, and the dragon knight The lance trembled, as if it was about to make a move. Goron quickly made a gesture to Chopper, which meant telling him to shut up immediately and stay far away. This gesture would appear every time the Black Hand tribe had a meal. After seeing the fixed action, Chopper immediately stood in the distance reflexively, with his mouth wide open like a little pug wagging its tail begging for mercy. However, when his eyes shifted from Goron to the dragon knight next to him, the scarlet His one eye suddenly radiated a cruel and bloodthirsty fighting spirit, but Goron had repeatedly told Chopper before that without instructions from him, he would not be able to fight back even if he was beaten. Chopper had always obeyed Goron's words, and now only He didn't rush forward to cause more trouble. (To be continued...)
