Chapter 254: You Can't Escape
The Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa arrives in Grimbaatar in anger.
On the land between the Dragon's Maw Gate and the fortress of Grimbaatar stood countless small military points, large and small, that filled the road, forming an impermeable defense.
Of course, these defense methods are useless to the Red Dragon Queen of the Sky and others.
They didn't even spot any aerial enemies along the way, and easily reached the sky above the city.
"Your Majesty, something is wrong."
Following Alexstasa here, there are also several powerful male dragons surnamed Red Dragon.
It was one of the red dragons who spoke, one of her spouses.
The Red Dragons are a typical matriarchal race, and they have different marital values from mortals. For thousands of years, Alexstrasa, as queen, had many spouses, and this was not a silver mess, but a culture that was originally like this.
At least, Alexstasa hadn't slept with anyone of any other race.
There are rumors among the players that Alexstasa and Deathwing once had a leg, but that was actually a minor translation error, and the Red Dragon Queen did not consider Deathwing as a mate.
The Red Dragon Queen was high, and her mate was only a need for reproduction or other purposes, and her favorite mate was young Crassus.
"Don't worry."
Alexstasa looked around at the orcs who were looking up at them in a panic underground, and said with a smile:
"It's just a trap."
"These little tricks are useless to me."
She is one of the most powerful and ancient beings in the world, confident enough to handle any traps. Orcs are unlikely to be a threat to her in any way, as the difference in their strength is too great.
Alexstasa didn't think about the existence of the Dragon's Soul.
The Dragon's Soul, an artifact dedicated to dealing with dragons, has been hidden in an unknown place and has not appeared for 10,000 years. Not only the red dragon, but even the other dragons are about to forget about this thing.
It's like a legend, very ethereal.
However, this time the Red Dragon Queen would never have dreamed that this ethereal thing that was almost impossible to happen would really happen.
"Let's go inside."
As soon as she spoke, she flew down.
Raging flames erupted from her mouth and poured over the earth, which was instantly filled with the terrible screams of the orcs.
The orcs were shouting, running around, rolling on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames, but how could the flames be so easy to extinguish?
Several male red dragons landed on the ground and scattered towards the small orcs around them.
The earth was stained red by fire.
The hard skin of these red dragons withstood the attacks of the orcs unscathed, reaping life with their claws and flames. They carved a path and opened the last gate of Grimbaatar.
The Dragon Monkey Gate is a gate to the city of Grimbaatar from the outside world, and the gate opened by the Red Dragons is the gate of Grimbaatar itself, the gate that enters the mountain from outside the mountain and into the inner city of the underground.
"Fly in."
Alexstasa said a word to the dragons, and then took the lead and flew through the gate into Grimbaatar.
Her body was hundreds of meters long, and the width of her wings was not too short, and yet, such a huge body flew into Grimbaatar without the slightest obstacle, and the open gate was large enough to carry several dragons in a side-by-side row.
The splendor of Grimbaatar shows that the city is not only a gate, but also a large space inside, which is enough for the dragons to live, and it is a great city built with the best skills of the Hammer Dwarves.
Even the Eagle's Nest Mountain, where the Hammer Dwarves live now, is not so majestic.
The construction of an underground city also has a relationship with its location, and the area where Grimbaatar is located is very suitable for building a large city.
There is only one floor in Grimbaatar, but the buildings on this floor are very large and complex.
Luckily, Alexstasza has been here once and knows how it is constructed.
She flapped her wings and flew freely under the stone wall hundreds of meters above the ground, turning her head to look at the closely connected city below, determining her direction.
In the process, Alexstrasza was surprised to find many humans and ogres.
The human beings with anklets on their feet were densely scattered on the cliffs on both sides of the city, holding shovels and shovels, and were digging.
The ogres were different, some of them didn't wear anklets, but they did the same work as humans, while some of them walked on the steep cliffs with their staffs, and they seemed to be overseers.
"These orcs really leave no stone unturned in their use of resources."
Alexstrasa said to the dragons behind her.
She knew that the humans were captives left behind by the orcs during the first war, and that the ogres were slaves brought by the orcs from their homeland.
It's normal for orcs to send these people to work. However, Alexstrasza didn't think it was a good deal.
The establishment of Grimbaatar, which was built by the Hammer Dwarves with magic and hammers for hundreds of years, seems easy, but it is very difficult, the city has expanded to a large area, and it is very difficult to continue digging.
However, the orcs let the powerless humans and ogres use their physical strength to dig, like hitting a stone with water.
Without spending hundreds and thousands of years to add up, this kind of behavior now won't bring much benefit.
"Your Majesty, you don't need to care about these mortal things."
The dragon behind Alexstasa replied.
The Red Dragons have little interest in mortals, but it should be said that the growing power of humans and other mortal races for nearly a thousand years has led many dragons to believe that these newly rising creatures have posed a threat to the world and should be eradicated as soon as possible.
There had been such discussions within the Red Dragons, but Alexstrasza rejected the offer.
Alexstrasa is a very kind red dragon who loves all forests and all other green plants, and has long been committed to protecting their growth and reproduction. In her heart, all the green woodlands are her home, and she feels warm and safe in the midst of it, and there is no need to fear any evil forces.
Moreover, she also has a clear stance towards mortals.
Alexstasa will not be involved in mortal warfare, standing in an absolutely neutral position for all their contradictions and disagreements. But she also believes that these beings should be guided and helped to follow the path of righteousness and light, and not to be corrupted by evil thoughts.
Of course, the premise of all this is that the other party will not threaten the survival of the red dragon.
The orcs have been invading this world for many years, and Alexstasa wanted to remain neutral, but he didn't expect them to turn their attention to the red dragon.
[Perhaps, as Crassus said, this is an evil race.] 】
Alexstasa resounded his young spouse in Dalaran, who had told her about the threat of the orcs.
But Alexstasa doesn't think there is a race that is absolutely evil, including orcs.
The thought she had just had was undoubtedly wrong, if it was corrected.
[This is a pathetic race controlled by evil. 】
Such a statement would be more appropriate.
"Well, that's good."
Alexstasa smiled with satisfaction, she came to the end of the path, then flapped her wings and began to turn.
Turn the corner and you'll find a much larger inner city, which is also the heart of Grimbaatar.
She flew so high that nothing could hit her.
"Didn't these orcs control a lot of black dragons? Why don't you ever see them come out? ”
Alexstrasza asked, confused.
If she's not mistaken, Grimbaatar is supposed to be the place where the orcs train their air troops, with the most black dragons.
"No, Your Majesty, I hear the voices of the other dragons."
One of the black dragons farthest away from her replied, and it told Alexstaza:
"Behind us, a group of enemies are coming."
Alexstasa immediately let out a sense of probe, and sure enough, he found a large number of enemies behind.
However, those enemies came too late, and she was already about to reach the command office of the city.
"Leave it alone, I'll fix them when I get back."
Alexstasa said, and began to dive down, towards a downward alley.
She was halfway through the flight when a feeling of familiarity came over her.
It was as if it was imprinted in the depths of her soul, enveloping her whole body like countless needle.
"Dragon's Soul !!"
Alexstaza's face turned pale, and he shuddered and shouted.
Of course she understood what this feeling was, the dragon's soul contained her life essence, and she could feel it from afar, it was impossible for Alexstasa to misunderstand.
However, she only noticed this aura now, which meant that the orcs had deliberately hidden it.
They tried their best to hide, but Alexstasa noticed it before they could make contact.
"Get out of here! Fast!! ”
With a flap of his wings, Alexstasa turned around without hesitation, turned around and left.
Now she can't do so much, so she can only choose to escape.
The dragon's soul has reappeared, and she must escape, and she must let the other dragons know.
"Hehe, is it noticed? It's a pity you can't escape."
On the ground where Alexstrasa fled, an orc wearing a purple robe with a staff came out.
He's Niec Cruise. The Skull Crusher, an orc warlock, is now holding a golden disc, the Dragon's Soul, slowly facing the fleeing Red Dragon Queen Alexstasa.
"Be caught by me and become our strength."
"The gate is blocked, you can't escape."
