Chapter 64: The Ancient Red Dragon
(I'm dizzy.) )——
The front is getting closer to the battlefield of the past.
Sauron didn't choose to go with the Cultists of the Weeping God, and while he didn't resent those in the good camp, he didn't like to interact with them too much. It's a matter of pure worldview, but there are still places for these people to exploit, the most obvious point being that the people in the orderly and good camp like to meddle in things, and they don't see the evils of the world, so Sauron reveals a few things about the god of hunting, Marat, to them.
The God of Weeping has been hostile to the God of Hunting for thousands of years, and it has basically reached the point where we have to oppose what the enemy wants to do.
In their way, if they knew that the believers of Marat, the god of the hunt, were performing bloody rituals, then the Church of the God of Suffering would have taken action, not only to help the innocent, but more importantly to fight the enemy as part of their daily activities. The two most hated gods of the Church of the God of Suffering are Marat, the god of hunting, and the other is the whipping maiden. The two chaotic and evil gods are intimate, and the God of Suffering dislikes them as much as Mother Earth hates the Poison Lady.
This hostile relationship with the gods even extended to the daughter of Mother Earth, now the goddess of agriculture.
Sauron didn't have any real gods to see as an enemy right now.
If he is hostile to the Lord of Shadows in the future, the first target of his followers will be the Church of Shadows, and this kind of war between the gods will be difficult to stop once it begins, and the centuries-long battle will lead to the accumulation of hatred deeper and deeper.
Ogre War.
Sauron participated in a legendary battle, although at the time he was only a small mercenary.
However, it was also here that he saw the real legendary combat power in this world for the first time, and the Storm Lord's powerful power gave him a great shock at the time, and it also allowed him to gain his first legendary degree. It's still the ogre's territory, but this time the ogre is a little different, their clan has been replaced by another split-skull clan. More importantly, this is the case. These ogres were servants of the ancient red dragon.
After lurking for so long, this ancient red dragon finally revealed its minions.
Increasingly impatient with the spied on humans and other intelligent creatures, the Elder Red Dragons began to enslave other races as minions, allowing them to help them solve minor problems.
Dragons have a habit of life.
That is, before adulthood, most dragons prefer to be alone.
But as time went on, their strength grew, and the dragons became more confident, convinced that they could control other races, so they began to enslave some of their minions. Normally, dragons begin to control servants after the prime of life. In old age, he began to rely on servants to manage his caves. Such servants include a wide variety of creatures, sometimes even species from other planes, depending on the strength of the dragon.
The Elder Red Dragon naturally had enough confidence to control other species, so it controlled more and more servants.
In the wake of the Sage Holocalypse, the red dragon even forcibly enslaved other dragons as its mates, but for now it should have limited its control to nearby wilderness creatures.
Walk through dense forests.
Sauron soon saw the traces of the ogres, this one is not very strong, they are more for the red dragon to block those adventurers who are not strong enough, and not let some small ants disturb its purity.
Any dragon reaches the age of the Elder Dragon. Their energy and stamina have become much less than before, and they take a long time to sleep.
That's why someone was able to sneak into the Dragon's Vault in the first place.
Sauron passed through the ogre's territory, and there were many traces of the gnolls in front of him, and there were many other creatures here. Think lizardmen, hill giants, and vampires.
Spotting the vampire's trail was purely an accident!
Sauron had always been sensitive to the smell of blood, and when he made his way to the lair of the Ancient Red Dragon, he saw a corpse drained of blood.
The corpse of a gnolloll.
The entire material plane is only a vampire would do this, and the Elder Red Dragon is the most powerful and evil five-colored dragon. Most of the dark creatures are within its control.
White Horse Castle has been tempted many times.
However, in the end, there was almost no one who could see the dragon alive, and too few people were sent to die directly at the guards, and too many people were sent out and it was easy to alarm the nearby biota. These biotas, enslaved by the ancient red dragons, directly crushed the army of Whitehorse City. So far, no one has forced the ancient red dragon to take action in person, just the legendary wizard of the ogre tribe has already made them suffer enough.
The creature level of the Elder Red Dragon is level 30 or higher.
The challenge level is basically above level 24, and for this creature that has almost reached the peak of the dragon's strength, all the legendary creatures that exist in the wilderness throughout the entire White Horse City must succumb to its dragon power.
Minotaur.
Sauron's figure landed on the trunk of the tree, and he looked at the footprints in front of him, an interesting expression on his face.
Underground creatures.
Minotaurs rarely live in the surface world, and most of them live in the dark regions, where they are often found in labyrinths, though dragons occasionally use them as guards over the outer layers of treasure vaults.
There is a passage to the dark realm!
Almost after judging the number of minotaur footprints, Sauron immediately determined this, there are not so many minotaurs in the surface world, and the number of footprints is as high as more than ten, which definitely comes from the dark region. The Ancient Red Dragon naturally had servants to prepare everything, but the species it enslaved still needed to hunt, and the footprints of the Minotaur looked like they came out to hunt, and there were traces of the corpses of some large creatures being dragged.
There are many passages to the dark areas.
Many of them didn't even know to Sauron, so he secretly looked around, but couldn't find a clear entrance.
Passing through the forest in front of him, a towering mountain came into view of Sauron, the lair of the ancient red dragon, but the dragon's lair was not outside the mountain, but somewhere in the innermost.
It's easy to find it.
All Sauron had to do was follow the footprints of other creatures, and the mountain range had become the personal domain of the ancient red dragon.
A large number of subspecies of wyverns came into view.
It is certain that they migrated from other places, the largest of which were the bipedal wyverns, a species of wurm that was supposed to live near the swamp and which now had more than a dozen nests migrated here.
It's no wonder that Whitehorse has not gained anything so far.
The mountain range is cordoned off on three sides, with enslaved minions patrolling and guarding it, a large number of wurm creatures watching, and even on the other side of the dust swamp there are lizardmen enslaved by the ancient red dragons.
Without the strength of a legend, you don't have to think much about breaking into the door of the dragon's lair!
