In the legends of the Razfield plane, dragons are terrifying and powerful creatures, and those who can kill or tame them are usually quite amazing creatures. These people later either became heroes admired by everyone, or became the leaders of a party's forces, in short, they all made great deeds. That's why Matthias created a dragon mount specifically for Octavir.

Although it is not possible to single-handedly take on an entire army like in mythology, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess's mount is still very powerful, coupled with the deliberate propaganda reports of the royal family, most people now basically believe that the monster with the shape of a giant dragon has few opponents.

So, isn't it also powerful to change to a dragon-shaped thing made with magic similar to the summoning of the elemental golem? The soldiers of the city guards who had fled from this problem were unwilling to think about it, and after they fled back with their equipment behind, they added all kinds of oil and vinegar to the report to make excuses for their failures, and as a result, rumors were already flying in the air before the evening reached the entire city of Drimpel.

Charlotte naturally didn't believe these rumors, but he didn't believe them when faced with the reports that had been put together by the City Guard, especially when the Knight was on the phone with Octavier.

"Nangong Rong summoned an elemental puppet in the shape of a giant dragon with clay, and then used that puppet to kill the city guards who went to encircle and suppress them to the point of heavy losses?"

"Although I don't believe it either, but Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, according to the photos, it seems that there is indeed something in the shape of a dragon at the scene, and it is it that defeated the city guards. Charlotte looked at the report in his hand and said with a little pain, "There are various versions of the puppet dragon in the city now, what kind of flames can burn a tank, it flies faster than a warplane, countless cannonballs hit it but can't even smash the dragon scales, etc., etc." Although they are all words that have been added to the vinegar, it can also be seen that the other party at least has the corresponding ability and is a more troublesome opponent. ”

Octavier was silent for a moment on the other end of the radio, perhaps thinking about his next plan: "It is good for the puppet to use any kind of shape, but Nangong Rong chose the dragon, is he blatantly waving his own banner? This magic to summon the puppet is mostly the technology of another world, if Nangong Rong has the support of the forces in that plane, it is not strange to learn the other party's spell." ”

Charlotte thought about it and thought that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess was right, and he immediately reminded the girl seriously: "If there is only Nangong Rong alone, it will not be a trouble. But if Nangong Rong has the support of the forces of the other world, we may take the initiative to lower our posture and talk to him in this eventful season. The Empire had not yet won a decisive victory over the Confederates on the Ridana front, and it was advisable to ensure the security of the rear. ”

"Didn't you think that Nangong Rong had taken refuge in the forces of another world, preparing to lead the way for the other party to invade the entire Razfeld plane, and gathering his compatriots just to ensure that they would not be retaliated against by the empire? ”

"Even so, it will take at least a few months for Nangong Rong to complete the gathering work, and the other world forces that are preparing to invade also need enough time to investigate the situation on our side, and the other party should not act casually until then. With the current state of the war, a few months is enough for the Empire to drive all the Allies' forces back home. When the time comes, we'll be free to deal with these guys with all our might. ”

Admittedly, the knight was cautious, but Octavir wasn't very happy with it: "You're overcomplicating the problem, Charlot. Why were people from another world able to come to Razfeld? Because Nangong Rong had found some way to cross the plane, not that the other world force had the technology to move across planes, otherwise the other party would have shown up a long time ago. Therefore, instead of delaying time to prepare for battle, it is better to directly kill Nangong Rong while they are not on a firm foothold, so that everything will naturally be solved. Besides, I have no intention of bowing my head and apologizing to those who have been defeated and should have surrendered a long time ago, even if it is only a superficial pretense! I want them to work desperately hard to beg the Empire to grant them the right to live, not to gather around a middle two who are lucky enough to gain a little strength and jump up and down in all sorts of ways and claim to discuss equality with the Empire!"

"Although it feels a little risky to not know the fighting methods and abilities of the forces of the other world, considering the advantages of fighting at home, Your Highness's idea is indeed very reasonable. See, your subordinates will have everything you need for your troops, and as soon as you arrive at Dresspel, you will be able to attack the lakes. ”

"Well, go for it. ”

After reporting to Octavier, Charlotte quickly rushed to the barracks to personally supervise the preparations of the city guards. This is also something that can't be helped, the main force of the city guard was driven from the lake to the city gate by the mud dragon, if it weren't for Nangong Rong, who found out that something was wrong, he was shocked and drew his strength back in time to make the puppet turn into dirt again, I'm afraid that this guy would take advantage of the situation to attack the city.

In such a situation, how can the morale and motivation of the city guards be at all? Even if the knight personally supervises them, this group of people still behaves without vitality, and some of them will even be frightened to scream on the spot and enter a state of squatting with their heads hugged on the spot.

"A rabble?" Recalling Nangong Rong's evaluation of the city guards recorded in the report, Charlotte felt speechless for a while even if he didn't want to admit it, "To be reasonable, the equipment and training of the Dresspel City Guard are very good, maybe there is a bit of a problem with discipline, but it's just a matter of doing things to those guys at the bottom, and it doesn't hurt at all." Compared with the newly trained regular troops, they are not much worse than the regular troops, and the only thing they lack is actual combat experience. And Nangong Rong ...... To call it a rabble?"

If he simply took refuge in the forces of another world, the boy would definitely be courteous to the other party, and then be surrounded by delicious food and drink and beautiful women, but in the eyes of the knight, the young man did not look like he was living a luxurious life in the local area every day, but more like he came out of the sea of blood in the danger of life and death, and he didn't even hesitate at all when he killed the soldiers of the city guard, and he was completely disdainful when evaluating them.

What did the boy go through in the other world? Could it be that he was really fighting a race of out-of-spec monsters that invaded many planes at once, as he claimed?

Charlotte believed that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess had probably thought of this, but the girl was deliberately pretending not to know. Today the Han people can use the situation to negotiate with the empire, but tomorrow will people of other nationalities do the same? As a royal family, girls don't really have many choices.

Thinking of this, the knight couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand and shook his head gently, and dragged back the seriously disconnected thoughts, lest his brain hole get bigger and bigger.

The troops that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess is about to bring over are all demonic beasts, and the team size is small, so there are not many things to prepare. However, until the sky darkened, the street lights were lit, and these things were still not done, and Charlotte had no choice but to give up and continue the next day.

Just as the knight was about to leave the barracks and return to the mansion, a truck suddenly broke into the training ground, and after a dashing tail flick and stopped, a group of soldiers hurriedly ran towards the barracks with a few doctor-like people holding boxes or leather bags.

Since the group was so high-profile, Charlotte noticed them as a matter of course, and asked his entourage in confusion, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know. Please allow me to come and ask, and you will wait here, sir. ”

A few minutes later, the retinue returned to Charlotte and brought him unexpected news: "I heard that after returning from the lake, many soldiers have fallen into a fever and coma one after another. These people had accidentally fallen into the lake during the battle, and at first everyone thought it was a cold, but now it seems that it is not. Since there were many people who also fell into the lake but still have no symptoms, the military doctor did not have time to examine them, so the city guard specially invited a doctor from outside. ”

Could it be that these soldiers have fallen into the Demon Spring? The expression on the knight's face did not change, but a monstrous wave was set off in his heart, and he hurriedly raised his hand and signaled: "Lead the way ahead, I want to go and see." ”

"Yes, this way, please. ”

The water of the lake, which has a very high concentration of magic power, refuses any life to settle in its interior, not only is there no fish or shrimp in the lake, but even weeds cannot grow on the shore. If someone accidentally falls into the lake and inadvertently fills it with a few mouthfuls of water, it is a matter of course that the discomfort is not so serious before, so Charlotte is worried.

In case those doctors find out the secret during the examination, the time will ......

The knight's hand involuntarily pressed lightly on the scabbard at his waist, but the man who had made up his mind to do the dirty work did not swing his sword at the doctor and the other insiders, because he was halfway through it, something very unexpected happened.

Suddenly there was a great deal of screaming in the barracks, followed by screams of fear and wails of pain, mixed with the sound of objects being struck, something being torn apart, and muskets being fired.

Before the people outside could react to what was going on, the wall was slammed open by some kind of presence from the inside, and several unlucky people nearby who were caught off guard were covered in debris on the spot, and immediately fell down screaming. However, compared to the soldier who was bumped into by the presence of an unknown body who appeared strongly, they were already lucky.

When the guy who was knocked into the air landed, there were many more bloody holes on his body that were deep and visible, and he couldn't see it anymore.

The perpetrator was a human-skinned monster with purple-red skin, all hair on its body, its skin as rough as gauze, and a disgusting viscous liquid oozing from time to time. There are several sharp barbs on his back, and he slumps his body into a strange and strange standing position, his facial features twisted to the point of completely crumpled plasticine, and he can't find anything resembling a human other than standing on two legs.

Charlotte was 100% sure that even if he absorbed more magic, it would never be possible for humans to become such a strange state.

Out of the holes in the wall came several soldiers armed with rifles, seemingly chasing the monster, and shooting at it was a flurry of guns. The firepower of the single-shot rifle can be imagined, but the monster is not as durable as it seems, and after a few barbs on its back were broken, it turned around to look at the group of soldiers, and was shot in the forehead by the corporal of the leader before falling down.

"What the hell is this!?" Charlotte asked sharply as he beckoned to the corporal to come to him, "where was it hiding before it was discovered, it couldn't have come out of the sewers, could it?"

"Your Excellency, you may not believe it, but this thing was originally human. To be precise, it was a soldier who was unconscious with a fever, and when he was lying well on the bed, his body suddenly changed drastically, and he finally became what he is now. ”

Hearing this, Charlotte immediately chuckled violently in his heart, and hurriedly walked towards the barracks: "How many people are in a fever and unconscious?"

"At present, there are more than a dozen of them sent to the infirmary. What do you mean, sir......"

The corporal was also a smart man, and he quickly understood what Charlotte was worried about, and his face instantly turned pale, and he hurriedly accelerated his pace and followed behind the other party.

Unfortunately, it was too late, and the inside of the barracks, which had not been quiet for a long time, was completely fried this time, and everyone was screaming and crying for help, and the knight even saw a large patch of bright red liquid suddenly splattered on the window glass of the corridor, as if the painter had splashed paint on the canvas.

"Raise the alarm, gather the soldiers and send weapons!" Charlotte was not swayed by the chaos in the barracks, and gave reasonable instructions in an orderly manner, "at the same time cordon off this area, and don't let anyone out, and the monsters will not be allowed!"

"Understood!"
