Chapter 110: Preparation (5)
In the middle of a yellow desert, the ruins are like an isolated island.
It took the monsters half a day to crawl out of the dark area, and by the time they reached the ground, it was already dawn.
The bright light of the past crashed into their eyes in an instant, and the scorching sun unbridled with energy and illuminated the earth, causing the monsters, accustomed to the dark environment of the underground, to let out a whimper of pain, and they involuntarily closed their eyes to avoid the glare.
Even Caesar took a little time to get used to.
The climate in the north of Eledia was always changing, and it seemed that he had chosen to return at the right time, and it was the rainy season, with low trees and thorny shrubs covering the low slopes of the ruins, and a row of jagged bare rocks reaching the sky in the heights.
From the shattered rubble, crumbling buildings, and needle-like spires, the Black Dragon rebuilt his makeshift lair and left his clans to find a place to rest.
War is not a game of recklessness, as a lord, Caesar had to make preparations in advance, and before that, his dependents had to stay in the ruins for a short time.
The air was filled with the smell of ash, all the buildings and rocks were charred black as far as the eye could see, and the ground was littered with burnt bones, with the remnants of the camp.
This was not the case when Caesar arrived, and it appears that the ruined city had welcomed new visitors after he left for the underworld.
The men searched the ruins, but the Iron Gate had long since disappeared into the ground, and they found nothing, and after that, they lit a fire and left.
"Roy, Sylvia."
Caesar whispered, though the smell of ash had lingered, it seemed that the charred things were old and dusty, not like recent traces, but like the product of many years ago.
"Shortly after I left, Roy and Sylvia sent someone to search for it."
Caesar knew how clever and cautious his enemies were, and seeing that Roy and the Green Dragon could not stop at seeing his teleportation disappear, the enemies were absolutely relentless in their search for his tracks.
The black dragon can even create a sense of picture through these footprints and scorch marks, "seeing" those soldiers and monsters entering the ruined city at the beginning, "seeing" their careful observation, cautiously searching for the specific scene of the ruined city.
Perhaps Caesar was not careful enough at that time, and left some clues here, so that the enemy noticed it, and the remnants of the camp told him that they had been wandering in the ruined city for a long time.
Fortunately, the news of the dark region comes from the old wizard Sifu, which is probably the history handed down by the Orc Empire back then, no matter how Sylvia and Roy are, they will not have a relationship with the Orc Empire, and they will not think of that aspect.
They hunted me down, so anxiously, so urgently, for only one reason, because I would make them afraid.
Caesar thought.
Yes, now is the time for them to be afraid, and now that the Black Dragon has returned, and is ready for revenge.
Caesar's first target was originally Roy, and everything was caused by that human being, who was the culprit and initiator of Suff's eternal sleep.
And, in Caesar's opinion, that guy, although he didn't have the slightest strength, was more feared than the green dragon.
The mind is more terrible than force.
Caesar originally wanted to solve this hidden danger first, and then turn his hand to deal with the green dragon, but after several days of pondering and pondering, he found that he could not.
An evil dragon, if he attacked Roy's place called "Kaki", it would definitely not be easy, he would be resisted by the entire Northlands, it was not a country, but an alliance.
The kind of human creature that huddles together will not care what the reason for your attack is, and will not reason with you, the evil dragon, will only cut you down first.
Even after the victory of Sylvia in the Green Capital War that year, the human race still came and went as soon as they wanted, and after retreating to the Moster Canyon, it was all right, and even the green dragon, which was powerful and inflated to the extreme, did not launch a pursuit, let alone counterattack the Northlands.
The green dragon didn't dare.
An elderly green dragon, the lord of the green capital, dare not.
From this, the human power can be seen, the alliance of human countries in the north, God knows what kind of energy the war machine will burst out when it is really fully launched.
A head-on war will never work.
And...... Thinking of the 1,000 soldiers who had entered the wilderness, Caesar still had lingering palpitations, although these people were not a threat to him now, but such combat effectiveness and such loyalty still made him look sideways and worried.
Luna had said that no god would help a believer force so many death contracts, not that way.
There must be something else behind Roy and his power, and that thing, even the current black dragon is not interested in exploring and does not want to be contaminated.
If you want to deal with Roy, you want to start a war head-on, at least Caesar doesn't have that kind of strength now, and if you want to complete revenge, he must use assassination, poisoning, and other means, which must be done slowly, and it will not be able to succeed in a while.
What about dealing with the green dragon first?
Yes, but just as troublesome, it has to be a blitzkrieg.
As a true dragon, Caesar could fight a protracted battle, but his dependents couldn't.
Attacking the Green Capital from the Seron Gobi will be a long front, and Caesar's resources come from the Dark Regions, and the supply line is longer than expected.
In this case, Midori, as the defender, has a natural advantage, and if he cannot immediately destroy the effective resistance of the other party, Caesar can only be like the Northland Legion that originally went on an expedition, stuck in the swamp quagmire of war, and be dragged down alive.
Moreover, Roy and the Green Dragon are allies of each other, and if the news of the war with the Green Capital spreads, Caesar is likely to be attacked from behind and suffered from the back, which is definitely a bad outcome that he will not want to deal with.
This is Caesar who wants to complete his revenge and has to face the status quo.
However, Caesar is not without a way to crack the seemingly monolithic, interdependent, and toothless pattern.
The first is the aforementioned blitzkrieg, Caesar is ready to use the flying ape clan to destroy the green capital as quickly as possible after importing various tools to arm them, and the dove occupies the magpie's nest.
As for Roy, there is also a solution, as long as he is trapped in a whirlpool and has no power to withdraw, Caesar has the handle of the human in his hand.
Whether it is the cahoots with the green dragon or some tricks to force the oath to be made, they are all unspeakable secrets, but these are all learned by Caesar and gradually exposed in the reckless war.
This is also one of the reasons why Roy wants to get rid of the black dragon as soon as possible.
Once the news spreads, whether it was true or not, Roy would attract the attention of the rest of the Northlands, and Caesar didn't believe that in such a moment, that guy would be able to spare his hand to help the Green Capital.
Caesar had a complete plan in mind.
"Erha, go find Hogg, Gal and the leaders of the Transfigur clan." The black dragon lurking in the sand began to order.
