The dragon's crusade was not smooth sailing, there were successes, of course, there were failures, there were easy victories, there were losses, and there were even annihilated armies, which was a shocking thing for the Baltic Empire, in the time when the Baltic Empire appeared, the word annihilation had not really appeared in the empire.

Although it is said that this crusade against the dragon is a training exercise, but the soldiers sent are all elite, all of them have been trained for a long time, and they have extremely rich combat experience.

It is precisely in this way that the total annihilation of the army will surprise the empire so much, and they can hardly believe that these dragons, who are not even ancient, can do such a thing as making it impossible for the army of the Baltic Empire to survive alone.

As a result, such a thing happened unexpectedly, and as for why such a thing happened, it is certain to look for the reason, but if you just look for the reason, it is not enough, and it is not enough to make the empire feel satisfied.

Whatever the reason, the dragon that had inflicted heavy losses on the Baltic Empire's army and swept away their majesty was bound to be defeated, and only by hanging the dragon's head, which was still dripping blood, on the city gate could the shame of the army's annihilation be washed away.

Defeat can not just stay on paper words, behind the defeat, the most important thing that should appear is not a blank, but victory, the current Baltic Empire is no longer the one it once was, only the power of a small village in Jutland, and some problems will be put on a magnifying glass to find flaws.

Subsequently, a steady stream of information about the dragon was passed into the hands of the commanders of the various units, which was much more detailed than the previous collection, including how the army was completely destroyed, including more specifically, the course of the battle between the two sides, the beginning and the final end.

The dragon that was in the limelight was a black dragon, known for its cunning, and he began to prepare when he learned that the Baltic Empire's troops had appeared near his lair.

First, he attracted the attention of the enemy on the frontal battlefield, consumed as much ammunition and spellcaster magic as possible of the Baltic Navy, and then after feigning to be injured, he guided the enemy into a canyon, and then the prepared ones belonged to the family of the black dragon, and those who belonged to the gnoll goblins appeared at both ends of the canyon, and above the canyon, there were hordes of undead.

Originally, there was a certain gap with the dragon in terms of strength, and in addition, he fell into the opponent's strategy, and in an extremely unfavorable environment, facing the dragon and his dependents and the undead army, the tactics he had made before were completely unenforceable, and it was not surprising that the entire army was annihilated.

If you dig deeper, then you can't say how powerful this dragon is, it can only be said that the other party attaches great importance to this war, and the so-called elite from the Baltic Empire is too arrogant.

Excellent equipment in hand, long hours of training, and advanced tactics, from the caster, these are all things they can be proud of, however, this is not something to be arrogant about.

Arrogance on the battlefield will only gain defeat, and this defeat must come at the cost of life.

Along with this information sent to the commanders of the various units, as well as the unceremonious accusations of Ellie, the empire can accept the fact of failure, because no one is immune to failure, even in the most complete planning, there will be unplanned accidents.

However, the Empire could not accept this, from arrogance, from stupid defeat, and this was the reason why Alice was really angry, and the arrogant dragon took advantage of the arrogance of the enemy to achieve a victory, and there was nothing more embarrassing for the Empire.

It is conceivable that if this news spreads, those tavern bards will use this as a theme to write a lot of stories about the empire, and this time, the long-time villain dragon may enjoy a rare treatment of the protagonist.

"It's a ...... of shame"

Receiving information about the dragon, several commanders gathered together to discuss, they were the most elite part of the troops that had completed their mission and preserved their strength relatively well, and it could be said that they were the most elite part of the troops sent by the Baltic Empire to Finland and Karelia to slay dragons.

This is not the time to compete for credit, compared to the credit of killing the dragon, the first thing they need to complete is the task of killing the dragon, and the second thing is the trivial details.

They all know what the empire wants to see, and they also know how to do it to achieve that goal and truly gain the appreciation of the empire, so there is no need for unwarranted arguments at this time.

Of course, several of their commanders should be equal in terms of status, but for the sake of the smooth operation, it is still necessary to choose a commander-in-chief among them who can command other commanders.

The previous losers had proven that the dragon they had to face was extraordinarily cunning, even more cunning than the average black dragon, and judging by his behavior, it was difficult to detect the shortcomings of the usual dragons, which were arrogant.

"Yes, it's a disgrace, I don't need you to say it, we all know it's a disgrace, I'm sure you've all seen the letters from the Empire, if we can't slaughter this dragon and wash away our shame with his blood, then no matter how much credit we have, people will only remember the black dragon. ”

"No, because of this, the more dragons we slaughter, the greater the prestige of the black dragon, and he has accomplished what no other dragon can do, and has stepped on the glory of the Baltic Empire. ”

"The Empire will not allow such a thing to happen, and neither can our honor, and I don't want to wait until I am old and my children and grandchildren ask me about this dragon slaying, and I will not be able to proudly recount my attack because of the existence of this dragon. ”

A gray-haired, seemingly past the prime of life, is entering the old age of human beings said loudly, his name is Bud, originally held the position of general in Upland City, after Upland City was broken by Siegel, he luckily survived from the sea of fire, and then joined the Baltic Empire, because of his own ability, he was soon promoted to the position of commander of the force, that is, general.

"You are quite the commander-in-chief this time, yes, if it is Bude, I am willing to support you, as I said, this time the battle is only allowed to succeed, not to fail, if it fails, ......

The man who said this was a rhinoceros man, wearing heavy armor and a deep scar on his rough face.

"I won't fail, because before I failed, I had already died on the path of the charge. ”

Bud said calmly, this is not a lie, it is not a politician deliberately said for the sake of profit, the Scandinavians, the character of the Jeats, if they cannot bear the honor on their shoulders, then they will choose to defend it with their lives.

"Bud, your death is meaningless, we are not gathered here to see you die in the way of the charge, I only want to ask one thing, can you lead us to kill that dragon. ”

"It's a pointless question, I've followed Beowulf and killed I don't know how many dragons, every inch of my body has been bathed in hot dragon blood, and even after all these years, my tongue is still reminiscent of the dragon's roasted meat. ”

Bude said coldly, if you talk about combat effectiveness and command, maybe he is not strong among the commanders he does, but in terms of understanding the dragon, in terms of fighting the dragon, he can be said to be the first.

"Well, remember your promise, and I and my troops will follow your orders in this battle. ”

It was a jackal who spoke, and he looked at Bud coldly with an extremely cruel gaze, and his gaze lingered on Bud's gray hair for a few moments before speaking.

"So, is anyone else meaningful?"

After half a ring, none of them came up with a meaning, and the commander-in-chief of this crusade against the dragon was decided.

"I'll start with my speculation, because there is no evidence, and there is no intelligence on our side, so this is just my speculation, but, in the words of our Lord Alice, when you least want something to happen, there is a great chance that it will happen, and it will develop towards the worst. ”

"That dragon must know what kind of situation he will incur, no matter what it is, the empire will crusade against this dragon, so do you think that dragon knows that with his dragon, it will not be our opponent?"

"I must know, on this point, if he doesn't know, if he can't deduce it, then I can doubt the authenticity of the information in our hands, and I can doubt the loyalty of our intelligence forces. ”

"From this we can make inferences, there is no doubt that our intelligence forces are loyal, and the information in our hands is also true, and the dragon who can use tactics and stratagems to annihilate our army must be able to guess our actions at this time. ”

Bud paused slightly, digesting what he had just said for the surrounding commanders.

"If you were a dragon, how would you choose. ”

Bud asked, looking at the rhino man commander just now.

"Two options, the first is to run away and leave from this territory that already belongs to our Baltic Empire, for his life. ”

"It is highly unlikely that this will happen, and if he were really afraid, he will not show up in this land and fight our army, but will gather up their treasures and move to another remote place that is difficult for our empire to reach. ”

"Then, there is only the second option, to increase your own strength. ”

The rhinoceros commander said.

"How can we improve our strength to be able to fight against an army like ours? Now the total number of spellcasters in our army is almost thirty, even a black dragon who has entered the legend can't fight head-on, or do you think he can break through the adult dragon and enter the level of the ancient dragon in just a few days?"

Bud continued to ask, although he seemed a little aggressive, but he would not let go of such an opportunity to build prestige, since he had obtained the position of commander-in-chief, then he had some ability to convince others completely, so that it would be more conducive to the next battle.

"That dragon doesn't need to increase his power at all, because it's unrealistic, unless he can get an artifact or something like the treasure that the gods left behind after they left the main plane. ”

"But if he had these things, he wouldn't have joined Atira's army, and he wouldn't have been driven by Attila like a dog for that little alms. ”

"Therefore, there is only one thing he can do, and that is to unite our enemies to strengthen their own power, and our enemies, above this land, there is nothing but the dragons who are still doing evil. ”

"So, all of you, do you understand my guess, we're not just going to face a dragon, it's probably a difficult enemy gathered by multiple dragons. ”

A giant dragon is already a very troublesome enemy, if several dragons are united, even if they do not have the so-called cooperation, but the combat power they exert is extremely terrifying.

It's not a simple one-plus-one, and you can completely ignore it.

“…… Are you going to ask the Empire for reinforcements? It will be difficult for our forces to win against multiple dragons, the Empire has already failed once, and we cannot fail once. ”

"Yes, that's right, the Empire is not another country, we don't just need to win, we also need to be responsible for our soldiers, we can't let the Empire suffer too much damage, it should be said that if your guess is possible, we should ask the Empire for help. ”

The gnoll seemed to have let go of his hostility by this time, and turned his head to try to persuade Bud.

It's good that I didn't know about this speculation before, but now that everyone knows the news, and it may very well come true, there is no way to ignore it.

The other commanders agreed with the Gnoll's proposal, and for the sake of the Empire's victory, achieving the set strategic goals was what they needed to consider, and on the contrary, other things were really secondary.

Bud nodded, his eyes lowered so that others could not see his inner emotions through their eyes, which was also one of his purposes, he didn't want his name to be the only one on this request for help.
