Chapter 527: Lord Marathus, the Fire Dragon
"Uh, Boss, I seem to see a dragon flying over there, and he speaks the lingua franca of humanity." Zhou Jin looked at the direction of the black shadow a little sluggishly.
Reiner next to him also looked demented, "That's right, my lord, I also saw a giant dragon, and it seems to be bigger than Prince Tyrion's Shining Star Dragon, so what kind of dragon will it be?" ”
Both of them were like this, and the performance of the other people on the ship was even more exaggerated, although in the previous Emperor's Northern Expedition against the Beastmen, the Wood Elves had led many green forest dragons to participate in the battle, and the Norscary pirates had also dispatched the Frost Demon Dragon, and even during the Battle of the Black Ark, both the High Elves and the Dark Elves each dispatched a large number of dragons, but among all the dragons, there was definitely no bigger than the one just now!
This creature was even a third longer than the Shining Star Dragon under Prince Tyrion's seat, and unlike the dragons Levi had seen before, this dragon's scales were fiery red, and as it flew, the air around it was visibly rippling with heat.
This giant dragon still firmly grasped at least four or five cubic meters of gold in its claws, showing a charming luster under the reflection of the sun, which was almost dazzling everyone's eyes, and this giant dragon was obviously very satisfied with its own gain, even if it saw Levi and the others, it didn't care at all, but grinned with a hideous huge mouth, as if smirking there.
With its grin, from time to time there were large strings of viscous liquid, mixed with sparks falling from the sky, and there were small fires on the ground in an instant, and its whole dragon looked like a small moving volcano!
"Instead of caring about that, let's think about whether this dragon, who calls itself Marathus, is it the real gold it has stolen, or is it the gold conjured up by the Empire's supreme alchemist, or some other metal mage?"
Listening to Levi's words, everyone in the original shock couldn't help but look at each other, because they quickly thought of the greatest possibility, this dragon, it seems that there is a high chance that it has stolen a fake...
Levi and the others were in a daze for dozens of seconds before they all heard a deafening roar, and then the huge figure flew back with a string of firelight, and while flying, it cursed angrily, "Damn human miscellaneous fish, you dare to deceive the great Lord Marassus, you dare to use brass to pass off as gold, damn it, Lord Marassus is here to punish you!" ”
This time, it also saw the warship of Levi and the others, but it still didn't pay attention to Levi and the others, it just flew in the direction of the Golden Academy at a fast speed, looking like it was going to take revenge.
But it didn't take long for Levi and the others to see the red dragon calling itself Master Marathus flapping its wings and smoking from its buttocks, flying out of the Golden Academy in a very embarrassed way.
Behind it, there was also a large group of metal mages riding Pegasus, dressed in golden robes, they were in hot pursuit, all kinds of metal spells were endless, but those ordinary Pegasus obviously couldn't catch up with a dragon that fled for their lives, and the distance between them was getting farther and farther.
Leviston couldn't help laughing, if it was an ordinary metal mage, he might not be able to do anything with this dragon, but among those mages, there was a ruthless character he knew, the highest alchemist of the empire riding the Pegasus Swift Silver, the legendary hero Baier Shaze!
With him here, coupled with the occurrence of a large group of metals, even the dragon can't bear it!
I don't know if it was because I heard Levi's ridicule, or if I deliberately wanted to find something to vent out, the red dragon, who was obviously in a bad mood, didn't ignore Levi and them this time, but opened his mouth and spewed out a blazing fireball, and then continued to start running away.
Looking at the huge fireball with a diameter of more than one meter and a half, Levi felt very innocent, this is really a senseless disaster, what does it have to do with himself?
However, he immediately ordered the mage troops to try to stop it, otherwise if this big fireball exploded on the ship, he was afraid that he would definitely lose some of his subordinates, and just think about it, you can know that the power of this fireball is absolutely extraordinary.
After receiving the order, Ophini and Mina and others took other troops to start casting spells together, and for a while the colorful magic shone non-stop, although the opponent's big fireball looked very powerful, but after all, there were many people on their side, and because the big fireball flew from several miles away, Ophini They had plenty of time to cast spells, so it was successfully offset in the end.
Watching the large fireball explode in the air more than a hundred meters away from the Landoin, and dyeing at least forty or fifty square meters around the explosion point with a layer of blazing flames, Levi knew that this skill was definitely very good at group attacks, and this dragon was undoubtedly more powerful than most dragons Levi had ever seen.
It's just that looking at the fiery red dragon that has gone all the way away and keeps cursing in his mouth, Levi feels that the other party is more like a little rascal?
The many metal mages who were chasing after them soon had to give up, because they really couldn't catch up with each other, but the highest alchemist of the empire noticed Levi standing on the bow of the Landowin, but he didn't take the initiative to come up and say hello, just nodded from a distance, and then returned to the huge chemical factory.
Levi didn't care, it was just a small episode on the journey, but he didn't think this matter would end like this, the red dragon didn't look like a generous guy, first stole fake gold, and then was chased and beaten by the other party, even ordinary people would hold a grudge, let alone a giant dragon?
After crossing the hustle and bustle of the Golden Academy, Levi and the others soon came to the capital of the empire - the Imperial City of Aldolf, with Levi's title and official position, he found a place to dock for his four ships very smoothly, but it was a fee, and the price was a little expensive.
After seeing Levi's expression, the aboriginal officer in charge of collecting fees took the initiative to speak, "My lord, if you don't want to pay this docking fee, you can sell them all to His Majesty the Emperor, Your Majesty has been replenishing the fleet recently after the victory of the Northern Expedition, and has the idea of expanding the army, your few modified wolf ships, as well as that steam warship, can definitely be sold for a lot of money!" ”
Livingston was a little moved, and after careful consideration, he finally decided to keep the Landouin and sell the other three wolf ships, anyway, the wolf ships are not particularly rare warships, they can be bought here, and Marienburg is also sold, and they are almost unlimited, they can be bought with money, and they may not be needed in a short time, so it is better to sell them.
So he quickly dealt with the three wolf boats through the aborigines in front of him, looking at the other party's smiling looks, Levi knew that he must have a commission in this, but it doesn't matter, he will definitely not lose money anyway, and after such a long time of fighting, the rewards created by the wolf ships have already been much more than their own value!
After replenishing the barracks and taverns with some ordinary infantry, Levi returned to Blackstone with a large army, and the journey was much safer due to the strong military power of the Empire and the Dwarves, and there were no strong enemies in the field except for a few beastmen who were coaxes.
Many of the younger brothers of the Warden Guild were very happy about their return, not only because Levi brought back a large amount of loot, as well as architectural drawings of various troops, but also because during the time that Levi left, a lot of things happened in the guild, waiting for Levi to finally make up his mind.
After Levi distributed all kinds of loot, he began to hold meetings with Qingquan Liuxiang, Evergreen Sword, and a large number of guild leaders, and after this period of development, the villages under their command have improved greatly.
In particular, the first Warwatch Village, which was mainly responsible for the vegetable family, has now developed into a small village and town, which can not only provide various logistical support for guild members, but also attract many novice players, which can be regarded as a good recruitment window for watchmen.
In the underworld, the Dark Ant-Men and the Grey Dwarves who have a good relationship with the Warden are also developing well, and recently they have even teamed up to carry out several successful raids on some of the newly emerged hostile dark elves, in the words of Grey Dwarf Duke, so that these new dark elves who have moved from other places will understand who is the boss here!
Although the Blood Raven City on the other side was destroyed by a fire, after the fire was extinguished, some fire elemental creatures and some low-level demonic creatures somehow began to appear there frequently, and after attracting the attention of many aborigines, it gradually became a well-known leveling location nearby.
But the most important thing they wanted to report to Levi wasn't that, it was about the Skaven.
"So, King Bellega's request for help from the Kingdom of the Mountains was delayed by the Skaven? But why? Haven't they always been very low-key? ”
As a typical evil race of the chaotic camp, the rat people have always been very low-key, and they have always only secretly stolen some food, ambushed caravans or something, they rarely have large-scale operations, and so far, it seems that the rat people have no mortal enemies, which is very different from other races in the chaotic camp.
Look at the other races, the Greenskins fight the dwarves every day, the undead and the empire fight in Sylvania, and in other places they are also surrounded and suppressed by various races, even the dark elves have their mortal enemies, the High Elves, not to mention the beasts and Norscar pirates, who are besieged as soon as they appear.
The only exception is the nezumi, but Levi knows that they are not because of their own lack of strength, so their low profile can be known.
"It is said that there is a large-scale famine among the rat people, and many clans are at war with each other, but there is still not enough food, so they can only stretch their claws to other races, all of them are mixed in the underground world, and they are more comfortable dealing with dwarves."
"That's right, and compared to other goblins or something, dwarves are very rich, and although the dark elves are also rich, dwarves are obviously easier to deal with."
Levi understood in an instant, he knew that the other party was not only referring to strength, but also to intrigue and trickery. The dark elves themselves are so bad that the tactics of the nezumi may be more advanced than them, but the nezumi use all kinds of conspiracies to deal with the dwarves in the rectum, and the effect must be quite good.
"Okay, then let's send some more people to help the dwarves kill mice, whether it is the dwarves of the Black Stone Castle or other mountain kingdoms, they are all worthy of our friendship, although the dwarves are not easy to contact at first, but as long as they are friends sincerely, they will never be the first to betray us, the next one...
