Bands of dragonmen wandered in the filthy swamp.

Everywhere they passed, all the swamp creatures fled in the wind, never daring to come within a hundred meters of these dragonmen.

A large swamp crocodile escaped a little slower, entered the alert range of the dragonman team, and immediately summoned four or five violent elemental fireballs, which were blown into pieces of flesh all over the ground on the spot.

Deep in the mist at the end of the line of sight, some indigenous tribes lurked in the shadows, silently spying on this huge army of dragonmen. Although their eyes were full of indescribable hatred, they could only watch silently, not daring to get closer.

This is a huge army of dragonmen with more than 300 numbers, even in the Reims plane, it is not a powerful force that ordinary dragon lords can take out casually.

Therefore, when Will, the commander of the 2nd Order Dragonman Legion, led this group of tiger and wolf divisions into the Swamp of Sorrow, the natives and beasts along the way scattered and did not dare to appear in their line of sight, let alone block their advance.

"My lord, we have lost contact with three groups of scouts. No contact marks were found along the way, and no trace of them was found by the team sent to find them. An exceptionally strong dragon captain trotted all the way up to Legion Commander Will and thumped his hand on his chest.

The steel fist collided with the metal armor, emitting a dull metallic clang.

No trace means no body.

And the indigenous tribes who can silently kill a dragonman scout in the Swamp of Sorrow do not have this strength. Those top-level monsters may have this strength, but they don't necessarily have the guts.

Moreover, the three-way scouts, distributed in three directions, disappeared inexplicably at the same time, which is already very telling!

"Let the other scouts retreat!"

Captain Will was a tall, mighty dragonman, covered in fine crimson dragon scales beneath his metal armor. This also means that in addition to its incomparably powerful power, it also has a powerful fire elemental power.

"Since the enemy has begun to cut off our eyes and ears, it means that their lair is not far away. Later, we will find a suitable place to camp and rest first, and then send someone to get in touch with Lord Chax as soon as possible. Melman, you will take the 7th team to the surrounding area to collect some food, pay attention, be careful and be safe!"

"Understood!" One of the dragon captains beside him also beat his chest, accepted the order, and strode to gather his subordinates.

"Falga, take your men and find out to me who is attacking our scouts on the periphery. I hope to hear good news from you before dinner is ready. Will's order was given to a troll dressed in black sacrificial robes.

Yes, in this dragon army of dragonmen, there is actually a team of trolls of two hundred people, and they are all devout dragon worshippers.

When any race is ruled by a foreign race, there may be all kinds of traitors, and there will even be some strange people who have made the traitor business thriving.

The Worship of the Dragons is such a bizarre organization!

Since the Troll Empire was broken up by the Dragon Lords*, the original masters of the plane, the Troll Clan, have been unable to turn over and become the masters.

During the long reign of the dragons for thousands of years, many of the strong men of the troll clan hid in the shadows, and continued to set off a wave of rebellion against the dragons' rule. But there are also some offbeat trolls, tired of the endless bloodshed of revolting – repression, revolting – repression. So, they raised the slogan of worshipping the dragon, calling on their people to stop resisting needlessly.

And such a troll is clearly able to curry favor with the dragon lord.

Therefore, with the deliberate support of the dragons, some of the trolls formed the Dragon Worship Cult, calling on the natives of different races to join them and become devout followers of the dragons.

In order to win them over, the dragon also gave the followers of the Dragon Worship Cult the status second only to the dragons, making them the servants of the dragon clan's slaves!

Especially for the believers in the Dragon Worship Sect who are particularly devout and have made great contributions, the dragons will even give them some of the dragon blood. In this way, this group of believers also has a strange spell-casting ability similar to that of a warlock.

And they are also known to outsiders as the priests of the Worship of the Dragons.

At this moment, Falgar, who was named and mentioned by Captain Weir, is such a priest of the Dragon Worship Sect, 2nd order.

Although he knew that this was a thankless job, in the face of Will's non-negotiable assignment, Priest Falgar had no choice but to agree.

Under his shout, a large group of black-robed Dragon Worship Sect believers quickly broke away from the dragon people team, and disappeared into the mist in the distance in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph, just leave all this dirty work to these dragon worship guys!Cohen, tell the team to turn to the northwest, I remember that there is a large kobold camp there, and I will camp there tonight to rest......" Seeing the dragon worship believers walking away, Captain Will couldn't help but snort coldly.

"Kobold camp?" Several henchmen captains around him glanced at each other, and they were puzzled: "My lord, those kobolds are too stinky...... ...... that affects the rest and eating of the fighters"

"Hmph, what are you afraid of if you stink...... Kill all the kobolds and sprinkle their blood all over the camp so you don't smell that stench again......"

The head said so, and several dragon man captains could only nod helplessly and disperse to mobilize the team.

When only Aiden, the deputy commander of the regiment, who had known each other for hundreds of years, was left around, and a trace of solemnity appeared on Will Weiling's radiant face.

"Why, are you still worried about our enemies this time?" Aiden asked softly.

"There's no way not to worry!" Will's voice was full of anger, "I've already inquired, and it's very likely that we're dealing with a group of mysterious guys from outside the realm this time. ”

"What's this?" Aiden explained nonchalantly, "Outside invasions happen almost every year, mostly desperate wanderers, or some stupid spellcaster who has mispronounced the spell...... As long as we get them out of the land, we'll have nothing to do. ”

"No, old man, this time may not be the same as before......"

"How is it different?"

"I looked into it before I came...... The group of intruders had suddenly appeared in the Swamp of Sorrow nine days earlier, and had made their way into Lord Chaks's territory. And Chucks came to ask for help from the adults three days ago, and the time on the way back and forth meant that Lord Chucks's team was defeated by the other party in one day......"

"One day......" Aiden's eyes couldn't help but widen, full of shock.

It knew about this Wind Dragon Chax Lord, who had hundreds of dragonmen under his command, and the legion leader was also a powerful 2nd order. If such a team is defeated by an enemy from another world in one day, then the danger of their mission is not ordinary!

"I thought these guys would be cowering in the Stonetalon Mountains, but I didn't expect them to stretch their claws into the swamp of sorrow. Let's set up camp first!When we find out what is going on in the Stonetalon Mountains, we'll decide on our next move...... "Captain Will is worthy of being the number one dragon man under Felipa, the dragon lady, who is not only brave, but also has a clear and calm mind.

Aiden sighed secretly, thinking that this was all he could do.

…………

Swamp of Sorrows, in a secluded camp.

Several wizards of the Crimson Family had gathered in a tent, silently waiting for news from afar.

On a metal command platform in the center of the tent, more than a dozen images from different angles were projected one after another, showing the dynamics of the Dragonman Legion in great detail in front of several wizards.

Although wizards possess sorcery methods such as 'Wizard's Eye', 'Invisible Servant', and 'Life Perception' to detect news of dragonmen, they all inevitably carry sorcery fluctuations. And this is easy to cause the other party to notice.

Therefore, this time, the detection methods were almost exclusively from the metal mechanical body commanded by Ghazruvi.

A vibration sensor installed at the bottom of a puddle, a hidden mechanical eye embedded in a large tree, a multi-band sound collector buried in the silt, and a life detector flying above the fog of a swamp of sorrow......

Although these metal mechs also have some magical powers, they are much weaker than sorcery. Coupled with the environment of the high demon of the Lance plane, it would be difficult for even wizards to discover the existence of these metal beings without being particularly cautious and careful mental scanning.

Therefore, no matter how cautious and careful the dragons in the distance are, they will not be able to detect these strange creations hidden around them.

In this way, the two sides of the battle are like a one-way mirror. The wizards can easily learn about each other's movements, while the dragons are still in a daze like a group of blind men, still stepping into the death trap in a daze.

"Unexpectedly, these dragon people also brought a group of dragon worship believers...... What's the matter, who's going to lure these Dragon-worshippers away?" Mary, as the temporary head of the family, had to take on the role of commander at the same time.

And beside her, standing proudly were none other than the three blood knights and the old fox Winlir that Mary had subdued on the knightly plane. With the transfer of the goblin plane, they also successfully came to the Reims plane.

The Great War is imminent, and Grim stays in the metal fortress to try to transform a new type of metal golem, so the only second-order wizards who come to this battlefield are Mary and Zacha.

Although the alien dragon eater Oliver came with him, he didn't say anything. Even at Grim's suggestion, she found a thick black robe to wrap herself in completely.

There is no way, her dress and life aura are too peculiar, if you don't hide it, it will be easy to be recognized by those dragonmen.

And those who stayed in the tent to listen to the instructions were the few first-order wizards who had just been cultivated and raised by the Crimson family: Billis, Desella, Medusadana, and Caron, the manticore. As for the poison concubine Endo, she is the representative of Alice's camp, and she is not the core figure of the Crimson family.
