Chapter Ninety-Six: The Golden Dragon
Seeing Freya's frightened look, Eldraine shook her head helplessly.
Although the youngest sister has been a member of the Twelve Sisters for more than ten years, she has been in the stage of cultivation and has not yet reached the age of being in charge.
Her sisters have very high requirements for her, whether it is martial arts, magic, diplomacy, politics, etc., she must study hard, and when she reaches adulthood at the age of 18, she will be allowed to choose her favorite aspect to study in depth.
And Freya's performance has always been very good, except for martial arts, other aspects are remarkable, and it can be regarded as a pass line up.
Eldraine is not the kind of person who must have her sister be a genius, so she is usually encouraged a lot.
But this time she was really disappointed, if it weren't for her, Freya would have died a long time ago.
"What's the use of hitting you? You're really stupid this time, what the hell do you think? Who told you that Blue Vasonuda Galajos and Krishanna Alecrotana Galaxios are our enemies? Eldraine crossed her waist and scolded in an aunt's tone that had not been shown in front of outsiders, "And what bear heart leopard gall did you eat?" A blue dragon who can escape under countless dragons, and even quasi-legendary powerhouses, you, a person who can't even use second-level spells, dare to attack him? Did you fall for illusion, or did you pretend that you had fallen for illusion, your brain? What about your brain? ”
Eldraine Nero stretched out her fingers and poked and poked at Freya's head, as if to poke her brain open to see if it was a brain or a paste.

Blue, who had come out, left the confines of the tribe, and then sat down with a frown on the side of the oasis.
Although Krisanna's words are a bit sarcastic, I have to say that they are really quite reasonable, she is not just as she said, she has been doing things, and she has been covering up the previous things with a bigger thing.
After a while, a slender figure appeared beside him.
Blue looked up at the visitor and pulled her slightly with his hand as she approached, the soft touch transmitted to his mind through the palm of his hand, and Macaria was pulled forward by the other man's movement, falling next to him.
"Hey, why are you pulling me so hard?"
"I'm sitting, you're standing, you look taller than me, and I look very uncomfortable." Blue said as he let go of Macaria's hand and took out the artifact from Bahamut, the ordinary-shaped sword, from the dimensional pouch.
Although the shape is very ordinary, the artifact that exudes a strange metallic luster still looks like a bit of magical equipment, and if you really try it with your own hands, it is very easy to cut through your own dragon scales.
Seeing the blue dragon take out the artifact, Macaria was slightly stunned and said, "What's the matter, take out this thing, you don't want to give it to the city lord of Blue Moon City, Eldraine Nero, right?" ”
"That's one of those options, isn't it? That woman seems to know a lot about me, and it seems that I am underestimating the heroes of this continent a little......"
Seeing that Macaria's face was the same as his own, he began to frown, and he continued: "But you don't have to worry too much, things have not developed so pessimistic, I can see that Eldraine Nero seems to be a little jealous of me, but not with malicious intent. According to her, it is likely that the demon invasion on the Central Continent is now uncontrollable, so they want to use the method of surprise attack to cut off the demonic reserve force first. Without the portal, the demons on this side are likely to be in a state of chaos, and then they will slowly deal with the remaining demons. ”
Macaria hesitated for a moment and then complained, "If they finish dealing with those demons, won't it be our turn to be demons?" Evelyn has already said that many people in the Central Continent and the Western Continent are now saying that we make a deal with the devil, and New Sal City is an outpost of the devil, an evil land. ”
"So Eldraine Nero said that he wanted to form an alliance with us, and wanted to use the covenant to dispel our concerns, but they wanted me to take out the things at the bottom of the box to help them solve the problem, but they only offered this boring condition of 'spare me not to die', and they simply treated me like sand, how could I do as they wanted? And they seem to think that I am helpless now, and I don't know where the confidence comes from, my dragon god Tiamat is the most loving, and she must have been waiting for me to come home in New Sars. ”
Listening to Blue's slightly mischievous words, Macaria laughed and said, "Blue, Christana and I both have an idea. ”
"Huh? What do you think, speak up and listen? ”
"You've always feared that if you rely too much on Lord Tiamat's power, you'll be overwhelmed. Rather than just return to New Sars, wouldn't it be better for us to take action and repel the besieging dragons ourselves, and thus disrupt the plans of Lord Bahamut and Lord Tiamat? And strategically speaking, passive defense is always better than active attack, and we must be more active, we can take the initiative in our own hands, not like now, hesitating to stay here, not dare to go back. ”
After listening to Macaria's words, Blue also pondered the feasibility of her claim.
He is not a genius of war, nor is he a political talent, and he actually has a sense of "acting at the opportunistic" for the current situation, which is why he has been wandering here for so long.
But Macaria's words are easy, but it's too difficult to do.
"If we have enough strength, the plan to take the initiative to attack is of course good, but our current strength is not very strong, and the only trump card at the bottom of the box is Oriana."
"You always have to try to know if it works, don't you?"
Blue nodded, indeed, if you hesitate, you will lose, she has been hesitating for too long.
"The dragon war is too dangerous for Yuri, Bieber, and Valeera, so I'll ask the woman Eldraine Nero to take care of them tomorrow, and as for Evelyn, that's the end of her mission."
Macaria couldn't help but feel funny, and said helplessly: "Just stop when you say go, they don't know whether to be happy or tearful when they know it." ”
"The decision of the superior is so incomprehensible, isn't it also interesting to let them experience it in advance?"
“…… They probably won't find it interesting. ”
"Then it's none of my business......," Blue waved his hand, "After all, I'm also kind, they're so weak, it's useless to get involved in the dragons' war, is it?" Also, you too, you rookie. ”
“……”
————————————————
On a hill north of the city of Neue Schars, a sizable camp is stationed here.
The camp was encamped in a magically fortified sandy area surrounded by dozens of yellow tents of a very similar color to the sand, held in the sand by thick ropes and deep wooden stakes, and on top of them was a flagpole with a golden dragon-shaped pattern.
In each tent there were a number of soldiers or knights in armor, who were either taking care of their equipment or resting.
In the middle of the camp, a large tent ten times larger than the surrounding tent sat a middle-aged man with long blond hair and dressed in aristocratic service, who seemed to be the owner of the tent.
This middle-aged man is none other than the leader of the siege of New Castles this time, the adult Golden Dragon, Bernardine Bakker.
Bernardine Bakr is not the golden dragon of the western continent, and for this continent dominated by deserts, except for the blue dragon and the brass dragon, the rest of the dragon clan will not like it very much.
Golden Dragons like to build their homes in remote places so that they can do whatever they want, such as turning into humans, going to human towns to collect news or rumors, funding honest and kind shops, or secretly helping the disadvantaged.
These remote places are usually located in idyllic landscapes, on the shores of beautiful lakes or rivers, or on misty islands, caves behind waterfalls, ancient ruins, etc.
Bernardine Bakker's lair is located on an island outside the port of Gibro on the Central Continent.
After receiving Bahamut's order, Bernardine Bakkel, after being surprised and angry, immediately set off from his lair and flew to the western continent, and then angrily wanted to capture the old lair of the dead blue dragon, New Sales City, and then wait for the rabbit.
But I don't know if I don't fight, I was startled, and in New Shars City, there was a real red lord who was also famous in the Central Continent, the prime-aged red dragon Gaius Gneeus, and five adult and three prime-aged blue dragons.
Bonadine Bakr was seriously injured in his first meeting with Gaius Gnaeus, and both the Golden Dragon and the Red Dragon are the most physically powerful of the metal dragons and the five-color dragons, and the strength of the two is also in the middle of the two.
But Bonadine Buckle is an adult, and Gaius Gnaius is in the prime of life, and the difference between the two is an age group, and for the dragons, this is the absolute difference.
After all, a pervert like Blue, dragons really rarely appear, and most dragons rely on age and body shape to immediately distinguish the winner or loser.
Unless there is some special magic item, but this kind of magic item that can make the dragon defeat the strong is very rare.
The golden dragon's first attack ended with a huge scar on his chest.
After discovering that the enemies in New Zars City were not as simple as he imagined, Bonadine Bakr retreated to his current position, formed an alliance with the metal dragons that arrived one after another, and some human warriors came to help in the battle, and confronted the evil colored dragons.
Not long ago, the dragons on both sides attacked tentatively again, and as many as sixteen dragons joined the warband on both sides, all of them adult dragons.
In the eyes of the human race and other bystanders, the light of the battle was more dazzling than the light of the sun, although the battle only lasted for one day, and then the two sides ceased again after finding that there was nothing to do with each other, but in the eyes of onlookers, the battle between the two sides could already be described as terrifying.
The breath of the red dragon, which melts the sand into a glassy shape, as well as all kinds of poisonous gases, frosts, etc., all make the people of New Chars City fearful.
At this time, they are extremely nostalgic for the usual quiet life, the ordinary day after day.
However, the anxiety of human beings was insignificant at this time, and there was always an uneasiness in the hearts of the golden dragon and the rest of the metal dragons, and they also knew that the Lord of True Red was intercepting the team pursuing the blue dragon in the Central Continent.
But even the Lord of True Red has flown to the Western Continent, and he has fought a few fights with himself, but the Lord has not yet appeared, where did the blue dragon go, and what conspiracy is he preparing?
Bonadine Bakr longs for a battle to the fullest, and hopes that this small dragon war will be over quickly, but it seems that it cannot be achieved now.
Thinking of this, he closed his eyes and touched his chest with his hand.
There was a scar that stretched from the left rib to the right thigh, which was given to him by Gaius Gnaius, and it would not have been completely healed without a year and a half of recuperation.
"Gaius Gnaius......"
A hateful murmur echoed through the tent......
————————————————
Anastasia squinted at the lizardman scout in front of her as she hurried out the door, then looked up.
The whole city of New Shars is now in a panic, and the streets are full of panicked people who have to come out to buy and sell the necessities of life.
She lowered her head and rubbed her head.
During the siege of New Charles, Anastasia did not have to participate in battles or receive the blue and red dragons who came to her aid, but her task was not easy.
The mere need to maintain and control the city's supplies almost exhausted her.
If it weren't for the fact that she immediately bought a large amount of food, salt and other daily necessities after knowing about Blue's plan, then I don't know how many people would starve to death in New Charles City by now.
It can be said that New Schars City has not fallen yet, and the biggest credit is her, in addition to the red and blue dragons who have supported her.
According to Anastasia's calculations, the supplies in the city are not a problem to last for half a year in the case of wartime supplies.
But this daily panic and fear had taken a toll on the morale of the city, and Anastasia felt that if they reached a tipping point, the people of the city might run away at the risk of being executed by the Half-Ogre Law Enforcement Team.
If you really get to that point, then even if Blue comes back, she will only see an empty city.
"Bru Varsonuda Galajos, Krishanna Alektrolana Galajos, my master, where are you?"
Suddenly, the red-haired Demon Captain, Lux's sister Lilith, pushed open the door and walked in, then looked at her and shouted, "Human, your master has news!" ”
Anastasia: "...... Ha? ”
