Chapter 442: Command & Conquer
The Golden Fort had no sleep all night.
After daybreak, the guards and servants of the Danse family found hundreds of large chests piled up in the open space in front of the main hall of the castle. Each chest has a lion's head emblem painted in gold paint, and the Lionheart Knights make a heavy noise as they move the box and put it down.
Some discerning people recognized that this was the chest of the Duke's family dedicated to keeping gold coins!
"Helm is on top!"
"How much does it cost to have so many golden dragons?"
The Lionheart Knights were still moving chests out of the family treasury, and it was already piled up like a small mountain, and this mountain of gold was surrounded by the Lionheart Knights, and no one was allowed to approach it.
The servants gasped as they passed by, and couldn't help but hide from a distance and watch.
The vast majority of Kangatro people can't save more than a hundred golden dragons in their lifetime, and they can't even fill a small bag, so many golden dragons are beyond everyone's imagination, everyone knows that the Duke is the richest family in the kingdom, but they don't know that they have reached this point.
What made them most curious was, what was the Duke going to do when he moved out so many golden dragons?
In a whisper, the Duke appeared.
The guards and servants were shocked to see that the Duke, who had been high up and dignified for many years, and had never smiled at his subordinates, was respectful and even somewhat flattering to a strange young man, and even more humble than when King Marc had visited the Golden Castle.
"Who is he?"
The eyes of all those who were secretly peeping widened.
"Your Excellency the Speaker," Duke Dans led Wren to the clearing, pointed to the mountain of boxes, and said with a bitter face, "Ten million golden dragons, ready." ”
The expression on his face was not all fake, but really heartache.
The Danse family's territory is rich in gold, with a number of high-quality gold mines, and it is indeed the richest family in Congatro, but 10 million gold dragons is definitely not a small amount, although it is not enough to bankrupt the family, but it is equivalent to decades of wealth accumulation.
Because of the loss of 10 million gold dragons in a few words, no matter how much money there is, you can't stand it.
Duke Danse now completely understands Wren's temper, this person is a robber, he is not reasonable at all, he is really carried away, and he wants to use money to buy and show his wealth, which is simply washing his neck and sending it to the other party's sword.
If he could regret it, he wished he had gagged himself last night and not said a word.
This 10 million golden dragon is regarded as a lesson, if you bargain again, maybe it will become 20 million, or even 30 million, this robber can definitely do it.
Wren smiled and nodded, and exclaimed: "The Danse family is worthy of being the richest family in the kingdom, and it is amazing to take out 10 million golden dragons so easily!"
His compliment, however, startled Duke Danse.
"Don't hide it from Your Excellency, in fact, it was not easy for me to get together this money, mortgage a lot of family real estate and treasures, and borrow it from the bank. Duke Danse began to call poverty, and then looked righteous and awe-inspiring, "But in order to satisfy Your Excellency, no matter how difficult the family's finances are, they will squeeze out this ten million gold dragons." ”
Wren glanced at him with a smirk.
When the duke tried to buy himself yesterday, he didn't say that, that kind of rich tyrant tone, he had only seen it in the coal boss in his previous life.
Duke Dans was horrified by him.
"Gather 10 million golden dragons overnight, the Duke has a heart. "Wren didn't oppress the other party anymore, it was too much, if he really forced the Danse family to be in a hurry, it would be detrimental to the restoration plan. When Emilys ascends the throne, the overall situation has been decided, and then the time will come to squeeze ...... No, it's about managing money again.
This is also in Emilys' interests, fighting is fighting for money, and the Danse family is too rich, and such a powerful family is not allowed to exist in the kingdom.
Wren showed no intention of asking for more, much to the relief of Duke Danse.
"Borch, check. Wren said.
The golden three-headed dragon next to him was already impatient, he opened a few boxes casually, and suddenly, a dazzling golden light was reflected, each box was filled with gold coins engraved with the head of a giant dragon head and the portrait of kings of the past dynasties, which was the "golden dragon" of Congartaro.
Borch's eyes widened, and the nearby Lionheart Knights also stagnated their breath for half a beat.
Only Duke Danse turned his head in pain, not wanting to look at it again.
"Boss, the number is correct. Borch, with the dragon's natural instinct for treasure, confirmed that the total amount of money was indeed around ten million golden dragons, and reported to Wren with eagerness and anticipation, as is customary, that he had his share in it.
Then he was in a bit of a dilemma, how to take away so much gold?
Both the boss and himself have a few pieces of magical space equipment, but the capacity is limited, and even if he reveals the true body of the dragon, it is impossible to take away hundreds of boxes at once.
For the first time, Borch realized the difficulty of too much treasure, and he was both happy and troubled, and said depressedly: "Boss, I can't take so much gold. ”
Duke Dans looked away with a smug smile on his face.
When he turned around, he had already changed to a concerned expression, "Speaker, do you need me to arrange for someone to send the gold to Baloske, or directly to Modu?"
As long as the money is on the way, anything can happen.
And the farther the distance, the longer it drags on, then around these 10 million golden dragons can do some tricks, like releasing a huge bait, attracting the attention of all parties, and affecting the situation of the entire kingdom.
There is also a need for where to send the money.
Sending it to Balosk City means handing it over to the Dragonborns, and sending it to Mordu is implying that Wren should keep the money to himself.
Duke Dans wanted Wren to choose to send the money to Mordu, directly into his own territory.
In this way, Wren is definitely unwilling to let others know that he has swallowed tens of millions of golden dragons alone, which has become a handle, although it cannot really threaten Wren, but it is possible to separate his relationship with the dragonborn, and then add some chips, maybe this robber will be bought.
He was more than seventy percent sure that Wren would steal the gold.
The huge wealth of 10 million golden dragons can even attract the attention of the gods, and Duke Danse does not believe that Wren is not moved, after all, he is only a mortal.
However, Wren didn't follow the routine.
"Thank you Lord Duke for your kindness, I can take it myself. Wren said indifferently, his eyes looked at Duke Danse, as if he had seen through his thoughts, and warned: "I don't like others to make their own decisions, for the sake of this ten million golden dragons, I don't care about you this time." ”
Duke Danse replied with some weakness: "I am also thinking about your interests. ”
Wren didn't pay any more attention to him. new
He stepped forward and got up and put more than a dozen boxes into the space equipment, two rings and a gemstone brooch, all of which were stuffed in a blink of an eye.
Borch also packed a dozen boxes.
But these only account for a small fraction of the ten million golden dragons, not even one-twentieth.
Wren shook his head secretly, space equipment has always been rare, and most of them are not large, this time he didn't bring Galadros with him, otherwise his Void Chain Belt would be able to load it all at once.
He remembered that there was a "Nebula Ring" on the exchange list of the Titan Elder Elder with a capacity dozens of times that of ordinary space equipment, and it would cost 1,500 pounds of source crystals to exchange for one, and the next time he went to the Storm Temple, he must buy two or three for himself.
When Duke Danse saw Wren stop, he knew that he couldn't pretend anymore, and he couldn't help but mock in his heart: "I'll see how you take it away!"
If you can't take it away, then your chance will come.
While thinking about it, the bell tower in the rock lion city suddenly rang, and the sound of the alarm rang throughout the city, and the guards on the tower shouted loudly: "There is an enemy invasion in the sky!"
"Oh my God!"
"What's that flying here?" exclaimed, pointing to the sky.
Duke Dans looked up in amazement, and on the skyline south of Rock Lion City, a group of black dots were flying at high speed, facing the rising sun's rays, and soon saw that this was a group of reddish dragons, and the sun shone on their bodies, refracting flame-like light.
Each wyvern had knights on its back, they were wearing dark blue armor, and there were forty-eight knights and wyverns, and even from a long distance, they could feel a terrifying momentum.
Koster, who had not recovered from his serious injuries, also ran out and said in surprise: "Fire Dragon! Where did so many Fire Dragons come from?"
There are also flying monsters taking off in Rock Lion City.
This is the "manticore" tamed by the Danse family, the brown majestic lion has wings, the tail is a long scorpion tail, the end is sharp like a poisonous needle, the body length reaches seven or eight meters, carrying the Lionheart Knight to take off to meet the enemy, but there are only more than 20 people in total.
The manticore is also a high-level demonic beast, but its strength is far inferior to that of the Fire Dragon, and the number is only less than half of the opponent's, so the situation is not optimistic.
"That's my man, let your manticores come down. Wren said.
Both Duke Danse and Coster breathed a sigh of relief.
This batch of manticores is the elite trump card of the family, and it took a lot of effort to successfully tame it, and they are usually reluctant to use it, let alone lose it in vain.
Immediately, they couldn't hide their surprise that there was a group of Wyvern knights under his command!
They knew how difficult it was to domesticate flying mounts, Congartro was cold and did not produce griffins, so they could not train griffon knights like the nobles of the Empire, and apart from their own manticores, only the Etis family had a "Snow Eagle Guard" that could fly, and it was also the most well-known flying legion in Congartro.
It is rumored that Wren has only been rising for a few years, but he has a powerful Wyvern army, I really don't know how he did it?
Soon after the manticore fell back into the city, the fire dragon flew over the Golden Castle.
In the amazement of the people, the fiery dragon descended, and the dragon wings of more than forty wyverns covered the sky and the sun, and a strong hurricane blew, and the ground flew sand and rocks, filling the open space in the golden castle, and the wyverns had to shrink their wings to make more space.
Streams of heat erupted from the nostrils of the wyvern, carrying sparks and red flames, and the castle, which had been low all year round, became like a furnace, so hot that people sweated all over their bodies.
The guards and servants were so frightened by the dragon's breath that they couldn't help but poke their heads out and look.
Duke Dans, Coster, and the Lionheart Knights were also on the verge of becoming enemies, and they found that even more terrifying than the Wyverns were the knights on the dragon's back, these knights wrapped in heavy armor were taller than the Giant Deer Warriors, like a moving metal fortress, and their feet hit the ground with a heavy sound, as if a small earthquake had occurred.
"Father, they're the Ultramarines who captured Rushkeep. Coster whispered.
Duke Dans nodded silently, his heart awe-inspiring.
The spies planted by the family in Balosk City sent back a message that this powerful and extraordinary army had defeated the Riverbend Legion in Fort Rushing in a quarter of an hour with only a few dozen men. The information gathered earlier from the Empire also mentions the Ultramarines, who made their debut and are said to have withstood the onslaught of tens of thousands of undead armies with thirteen people.
At the time, he thought it was nonsense and didn't take it to heart, but now when he really meets the Ultramarine, he knows that the rumors are all true!
"Boss!"
Sicarius walked up to Wren and said loudly, "We are late, and the distance is a bit far, so we rested on the road for half an hour. ”
Wren nodded, he had made the Extreme Warband come overnight through the Primordial Symbiosis last night, and he had already made it faster than expected, and ordered, "Bring these boxes back." ”
The Ultramarines looked at the mountain of boxes, they all had experience, these were gold!
Every time the boss gets rich, everyone has a share.
Suddenly, the extreme warriors were all excited, and they responded: "Yes, boss!" and then couldn't wait to move the boxes to the back of the fire dragon, with the carrying weight of the fire dragon, each head can easily take off with a dozen boxes, but they need to rest one or two more times in the middle.
In less than ten minutes, hundreds of boxes were fastened to the back of the fire dragon, and one after the other took off.
Duke Dans and the others were dumbfounded.
But what surprised them even more was Borch, who, in a burst of light, turned into a behemoth with three colors: gold, red, and black, covered in gold-like scales, exuding an overwhelming dragon power that made the Lionheart Knights hold their heads and run away.
"Dragon!"
"So he's the golden three-headed dragon!"
Duke Dans and Coster were both a little distracted, watching Wren step on the dragon's low neck and sit on the dragon's back. Din Raj also sat down beside Wren, looking down at himself with a victorious smile on his face, his diminutive body growing tall against the dragon's backdrop.
Before taking off, Wren took out a microphone and threw it to Duke Danse, instructing: "Use this to keep in touch, gather your army, and wait for my orders at any time." ”
"I don't want the next time we meet, I'm here to destroy you, so I can do it myself. ”
Wren's words were unceremonious, both an order and a threat, unquestionable, and completely trampled the dignity of the Danse family under their feet.
Duke Dans caught the sound watch, and under the shock of Long Wei, he didn't dare to have any intention of resisting, bent down and bowed his head and replied: "Yes, the Dans family is at your disposal. ”
In a gust of wind brought by the vibration of the dragon's wings, the dragon quickly moved away, and the dragon power that shrouded its head also disappeared.
It was a long time before Duke Danse straightened up.
He looked at the dragons and the group of flying dragons flying far away in the sky, his expression was complicated, he let out a long sigh, and gently put the microphone into his arms.
