Volume 4 The Burning Prairie Chapter 227 Surrender

Doragni raised his hand and motioned for Francis to excuse himself.

"Your Majesty, you are going to pursue O'Falian this time, and I don't know what the final result will be?" asked Francis.

"O'Farian has not yet entered the god level, but he can cultivate a divine skill such as 'Spatial Flicker', he deserves to be a rare genius of my dragon clan for a thousand years! I couldn't catch up with him!" Doragni shook his head and let out a sigh of emotion: "After I returned to Norsenside this time, I heard that he had cultivated the 'Spatial Flicker' divine skill hundreds of years ago, and I didn't believe it at first. However, seeing is believing in the battle of Xuefeng that day, and I have to say that although he used to be my student, my teacher is not as good as him!"

Francis was not surprised to hear Doragni admit that he had failed in his pursuit of O'Farian. However, he still showed a slightly regretful expression on his face: "It's a pity that I couldn't take away the part of the 'arcane energy' in O'Fallan's body this time, otherwise the power of the Pope's crown to recover its heyday will be just around the corner!"

"When it comes to regaining my strength, I can do it slowly, and I don't need to rush it. I have been trapped in the abyss in the past, and I have survived even this thousand years, and now I am not short of this time!Besides, this time I have successfully devoured the trace of 'arcane power' in Ziegler's body, and it will take some time to completely refine it and use it for me!" Doragni said disapprerovingly.

"The Pope is open-minded, and his subordinates are ashamed!" Francis, with a small slap on the back.

"On my way to chase O'Farion, I also met two acquaintances!" Doragni said.

"Acquaintance?" Francis looked curious.

"It's the two kings of the Sunset Silver Dragons, father and son Badista and Salmani!" Doragni said.

"Isn't Badista trapped in a 'dragon binding array'? he actually got out of the formation so quickly?" Francis was clear about Ziegler's previous trapping of Badista with the 'dragon binding array', and now after hearing Doragni say this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "And how could Salmani be with him? Could it be that Salmani rescued him?"

"Although I have now become a fire dragon, this guy Badista's nose is as sensitive as that of O'Farian, and he also sniffed out my breath and guessed that I was the red dragon 'Flame Wings' of the year! I had a brief conversation with the father and son of the Silver Dragon King, and I heard what Badista meant, he should have summoned Salmani in the 'Dragon Binding Array' and asked Salmani to go to O'Farian, but Salmani disobeyed his will and ran to rescue him first. After a delay in the coming and going, when the father and son heard that there were colorful dragons in the Zagaroni Mountains and hurried over, this battle of dragon slaying was over!"

"And what happened later?" asked Francis.

"Later, the father and son of the Silver Dragon King heard that I was chasing O'Farian, so they went after O'Falian in the direction I gave. And because I heard on the way that the Alpine Giant Khanate had been destroyed, and that the orcs had begun to march eastward into the northern grasslands, I felt that the matter was serious, so I turned back and prepared to consult with you about countermeasures!" Doragni's voice became unusually solemn.

"Your Majesty, what do you think on this matter?" said Francis

, and his face was also grim.

"Do you think the forces of the northern grasslands can stop the current forces of the orcs?" asked Doragni in a deep voice.

"No possibility!" Francis shook his head slowly: "It is said that the strength of the orcs transferred from the Western Expedition to the Northern Army this time has reached 130,000, plus the orcs had about 50,000 troops on the grassland before, and now the orc's Northern Army has been expanded to about 180,000 at once." Moreover, these 180,000 orc soldiers are all brave and good warriors, and their combat effectiveness is far from the so-called 100,000 garrisons that are seriously lacking in orcs and just for the sake of making ends meet! If all the mercenary groups on the grassland, as well as some other forces such as goblins and ogres who also oppose the Beamon Empire, join forces together, there should be no problem in making up a force of two or three hundred thousand. But such a coalition army will only be a plate of scattered sand, and it is impossible to stop the attack of the 180,000 orc army!"

Doragni bowed slightly: "You're right, I think so too!"

"If all the anti-orc forces on the grassland are gathered together and confront the orc army head-on, it is likely to be wiped out, and the orcs will be defeated. In fact, in the humble opinion of our subordinates, we can only fight guerrilla warfare with the orcs. When the time comes, our Red Fire Dragon Mercenary Regiment will also abandon Riptide Fort and temporarily retreat into the deep mountains and dense forests of Zagaroni Mountain. The grasslands of northern Xinjiang are barren, and it is almost impossible to support the grain and grass of the army of 180,000 orcs for a long time. The orcs can only transport grain and grass from the interior of the Beamon Empire to the north, but the northern grassland is far away from the orc homeland, and the road is difficult and difficult, and the loss of grain and grass is very large, which is also not a long-term solution for the orcs. Perhaps, after a long time, when the orcs can no longer hold on, they will greatly reduce the number of troops on the northern grasslands! At that time, the northern grasslands will return to the current tug-of-war situation in which the two sides are evenly matched!" Francis analyzed.

"In addition, I have heard that the current Bimon Emperor Ioleo has always had the ambition to conquer Byzantium, and it should be a few years before he will start a war against Byzantium. He couldn't have allowed an army of 180,000 orcs to stay in the Northern Frontier Grassland for too long. If we can't completely defeat the forces on the grassland, Iorio should only leave tens of thousands of troops on the grassland in the end to prevent us from moving, and then transfer all the rest of the troops to the Eastern Crusade!"

"So after the orc expedition to the west comes to the northern grasslands, the best outcome for us, that is, in the unforeseeable future, can we return to the current situation and continue to control Fort Riptide and the area around it within tens of miles?" asked Doragni after listening to Francis's analysis.

Francis nodded, "Yes!"

"However, the goal of our Dragon Worship Sect is not to trap a corner of Riptide Castle, but to expand its territory and influence in the northern grasslands!" Doragni said slowly after a deep sigh.

Hearing Doragni say this, Francis couldn't help but be stunned and asked, "Your Majesty, do you have any better advice?"

"What do you think of it if we take refuge in the Beamon Empire, recognize its jurisdiction over the northern grasslands, and cooperate with it to eliminate other forces on the grasslands, so as to gain the power that it allows us to preach openly in the northern grasslands?"

Knowing Doragni's intention to join the orcs, Francis frowned deeply and remained silent.

Doragni said no more, but waited for Francis's answer.

After a fierce ideological struggle, Francis finally made a decision in his heart, he frowned, and said: "I can advance to the Holy Rank completely by relying on your gift from the Pope! I will definitely follow and implement what you decide, and I will never oppose it!"

Doragni saw Francis's attitude and nodded in satisfaction.

"However, even if we take refuge in the Beamon Empire, it is still unlikely that the Beamon Empire will allow us to openly proselytize in the northern grasslands, right?" Francis voiced one of his concerns. After all, all ethnic groups and countries on the continent attach great importance to religious beliefs that can control their minds, and it is rare for different religious beliefs to be allowed to spread openly within their spheres of influence.

"In the future, the doctrine of the Dragon Worship Sect needs to be revised, and the object of the cult will no longer be me, but another giant dragon, this dragon fought side by side with the orc god of war in the war between gods and demons ten thousand years ago!" Doragni said lightly.

When Francis heard this, he immediately understood Doragni's intentions.

Legend has it that Tampas, the orc god of war, once had three powerful war pets, namely a Beamon beast, a snake-headed turtle, and an eight-winged hellfire dragon. The Hellfire Dragon is not a fire elemental dragon like Doragni, but a flesh-and-blood dragon capable of spitting the flames of hell. The Hellfire Dragon is a rarer and more ferocious dragon species in the Abyssal Demon Realm than the Dark Demon Dragon, and the Hellfire Dragon that can grow eight wings has only appeared so much in the long history of the Abyss Demon Realm. But it was this eight-winged hellfire dragon that advanced to the Golden God Rank, who was subdued by Tampas during the Great War of Gods and Demons, and joined the god camp on the side of Norsenheed, becoming one of the war favorites of the orc god of war.

If the dragon worshiped by the Dragon Worship Sect becomes this eight-winged hellfire dragon, then for the sake of being a war pet under the command of the orc God of War, the orcs should not stop the Dragon Worship Sect from preaching in the northern grasslands.

Of course, this is only a nominal change for the Worship of the Dragons. Although Doragni no longer became the object of worship of the doctrine of the Worship of the Dragon, at the same time, as the Pope, he still held the authority of the entire Worship of the Dragon Worship firmly in his hands.

When the first and second leaders of the Dragon Worship Sect reached a consensus on the matter of defecting to the Orcs, Doragni finally said: "I will personally go to the Boulder Castle to raise this matter with the Orc Wolf Leader Overseer in person, and find out what his tone is! Therefore, in the future, the whole group of the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group must be of the same mind as the Dragon Worship Sect, and since you have already purged the original Byzantine forces in the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group today, it is better to do it more thoroughly! All those in the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group who do not agree with our Dragon Worship Sect's ideas and beliefs will also be eradicated. From today onwards, the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group will exist as the guardian army of the Dragon Worship Sect!"

"I see!" Francis nodded, then strode away from the chamber. In the next period of time, bloody killings will continue to occur in the Red Flame Fire Dragon Mercenary Group.
