"Ares, Ares......"

At dawn, while the entire city of Lordaeron was still asleep, the Great General Dram knocked on Ares' door.

"What's the matter? Can't wait two hours to wake me up? ”

Woken up by Drum, Ares simply put on a bearskin cloak, walked to the door, and opened the door to ask.

"Can't!"

I thought that Drumm would be embarrassed, but I didn't expect this old friend to be so bold and undisguised.

"I mean it's very important, it's urgent. You have to go and see it, and you'll know when you see it. ”

"What the hell is going on? A good thing is a bad thing? ”

Ares asked as he wore his shirt and yawned. But Drumm still didn't say anything, maintaining a sense of mystery.

Half an hour later, Ares and Drum walked into Lordaeron's dungeon, which was originally a place for death row prisoners and various criminals. The original city of Lordaeron, which was home to 80% of the country's condemned prisoners, once held the famous orc leader Orgrim. After the fall of Lordaeron, the giant dungeon was abandoned, and two years ago Ares returned to Lordaeron with refugees and offered to transform it into a secret military base. After two years of expansion, the main part of the dungeon was preserved, and many more secret rooms and warehouses were added around the main part. Some of these chambers were used for experiments for mages and priests.

And it was the largest of these secret rooms that Durham took to Ares, the secret laboratory of the Lordaeron Apothecary Society. This is also the place where Adams kept the strange dragon eggs after bringing them back to the Outlands. Ariston understood.

As soon as he entered, the old mage excitedly walked up and led Ares deeper into the laboratory.

"Great Lord, what you want me to accomplish, I have done. We have made significant progress in our research, or rather, not because of our research, but because of these dragon eggs, which hatch on their own......"

Archmage Adams said, pointing to the infant dragon that was placed in the observation container.

In the transparent glassware, translucent dragons wriggled vividly, they were very small, not at all like the descendants of normal dragons, but they had an incomparable quality - the material composition of their bodies...... Ares' eyes widened, and he seemed to have discovered a new species.

"They are the Void Dragons, the Great Lord."

Mage Adams introduced. He grabbed a small dragon casually, put it in his hand, and handed a small piece of meat to the young dragon's mouth, who immediately opened his immature mouth, bit the piece of meat, and swallowed it raw! Then there was a cry of satisfaction.

"When did these dragons hatch?"

Ares asked, slightly excited. A bold plan gradually took shape in his mind.

"Just last night, so I told Drumm to look for you right away."

Adams replied earnestly. Ares believed what he said, and as a member of the Knights of the Silver Hand, he served under the banners of the Scarlet Crusade and the Ash Inquisition, and was a loyal comrade-in-arms of Ares.

"Don't tell anyone about this yet. Except a few of us know. ”

Ares whispered as he took Drum and Adams by the shoulders.

"I understand, Ares."

The mage replied earnestly.

"Tell me what else you've found."

Ares then asked. In the dim light, a few people were like crazy biologists, discussing the physiology of the Void Dragon.

"They'll be invisible, Ares. I mean, these young dragons don't have the ability to control their stealth yet, but they do. By refining their muscles, I discovered that they are not pure-blooded creatures, and that half of their muscle composition comes from the universe, which is the warp plane. The other half of the muscles come from the dragon's bloodline. That is, they are mutant populations. It should only be produced by chance, and moreover, they will not be able to reproduce. ”

Old Mage Adams continued. Ares looked at the Void Dragons in the container, one of the dragons staring at him. As long as they give them food, they recognize them as their parents...... But the nature of the Void Dragons makes them impossible for normal humans to harness......

"But don't worry, there are a lot of them."

Adams continued.

Ares knew, because when he returned from the Outlands, he had asked Adams to take all the dragon eggs from the cave. The number reaches thousands, and even if only half of these thousands of dragon eggs hatch, it is still a terrifying existence. Just like the orc tribe that enslaved the Red Dragon Queen in the first place, they only sent a hundred red dragons to burn the alliance to the ground. Dragons are creatures that crush other creatures. Even the griffons are no match for them. Of course, the Void Dragon most likely doesn't have the strength of a giant dragon. This is what Ares needs to look at next.

"Feed them slowly, but we have to figure out a way to lead them. These Void Dragons are a double-edged sword, and if used well, they will be our killing weapons in the future, and if they are not properly controlled, they are likely to be controlled by other forces. ”

Looking at the few little dragons waiting to be fed, Ares frowned. He tried to control one of the young dragons from the power of the Light, but when the light fell on the Void Dragon, he instinctively resisted, and even howled angrily at Ares after the Light was over.

"They're shadows."

Ares said with a frown.

"So we have to find someone who can control the Shadow Energy in order to control these Void Dragons."

Drumm chimed in.

"Yes, and it has to be as soon as possible. Dragons grow at an astonishing rate, twice as fast as a griffin under normal circumstances, and can grow into a behemoth in three months. If we can't find someone to harness them during these three months, these Void Dragons are very dangerous. ”

Ares said solemnly. He paced back and forth, thinking about someone who could manipulate the energy of the shadows.

"Adams, with what you know of the Knights now, are there any such people among us?"

Ares asked, turning.

"There were, but then you abandoned it."

Adams' expression was serious and heavy.

"Who?"

Ares asked.

"Shadow Priest. Those spiritual priests who have turned away from the way of light and escaped into darkness have been abandoned by the Knights, and most people think they are crazy, but I know that they are not crazy, and they are still wandering around the world, fighting evil in their own unique ways. ”

The archmage's answer made Ares suddenly realize. At the same time, the mood is also extremely low. The former self expelled these people from the Order with his own hands, and now, will they come back? Ares felt uneasy in his heart. The mistakes made when I was young and frivolous may not be able to be reversed with a hundredfold sincerity now......
