Chapter 600: Slaying the Dragon
For training purposes, Alfred didn't make extensive use of Goblin Knights and Lizardmen spearmen.
A spear throw plus a charge, after which it was completely handed over to the recruits.
In the end, it turned out that the performance of these recruits was very good, and the major races of the underground world were far more fierce and belligerent than the upper world, which was vividly demonstrated in this battle - although this was the first battle of most soldiers, none of them flinched and feared, but one rushed more fiercely and excitedly.
If Alfred hadn't controlled them, they might have rushed through because they were too belligerent, which is rare in the terrestrial world.
This training is not only to train the recruits who have been training for a few months after joining the army, but also to train Alfred.
Whether it's the battle in the underworld to defeat a family, or the later battle against the Shepherds in the underworld, Alfred has proven that he has an excellent ability to lead small forces.
However, Langdon wants much more than that, what he wants is a general who is like Zhu Lingqi and Lu Zijing, who is enough to become the commander of an army!
Langdon knows a few such people, but those have basically been "raised" by the countries of the world on the ground or the major families in the underground world.
Occasionally, there are a few who have not been recruited, and it is also because they are too young to show their abilities, of course Langdon doesn't mind finding them to get a long-term cultivation, but far water can't save the near fire, and those are not enough to become a qualified general in a short period of time, and with the current number of troops under Langdon and the growth rate, Langdon continues to be at least one general who can immediately lead a large army.
Alfred is undoubtedly the most suitable.
Alfred himself understands this, and although Langdon never says it explicitly, it can be seen from what he has done that the Gullahs are honest, but not stupid.

Ordering the troops to stay and clean up the battlefield, under the guidance of skilled mercenaries and adventurers such as dragons, the wolf-eating birds' various materials were recovered, and Alfred himself returned to Langdon to resume his life.
"My lord, all the adult wolfeaters have been exterminated, and the juvenile wolfeaters have been captured and are waiting to be released. Alfred said.
"Well done, it's a pity that wolf-eating birds don't belong to the type suitable for domestication, kill them all, remember to cut off their necks, try not to destroy their internal organs, their materials are still very valuable. ”
Langdon instructed the guards beside him to give the order, and then smiled at Alfred: "How is it, how do you feel when you suddenly find that you still have such skills? Those interspersed attacks are so beautiful, there is not a trace of gaps, and they make full use of the speed difference between the troops, even if you replace the wolf-eater with any of the troops, you will still only be defeated miserably." You're really a natural commander. ”
"Your Excellency has won the prize. Being praised by Langdon like this, Alfred's "weather-hardened" old face couldn't help but blush, and said: "The commands I do now rely on instinct, and instinct can sometimes work miracles, but more often than not, it is not reliable, and more training is needed." ”
"It's really rare that I didn't float, this is the benefit of an honest man, if I want to change me, I have won brilliant victories in a row, and I don't know where to go for a long time. Langdon laughed and teased, and then said: "This training is your training opportunity, don't think too much, open up your command, and try to turn your instinct into talent." ”
After a pause, Langdon suddenly said, "By the way, just now when we were fighting, we already got more news. ”
Pointing to the carcasses of some wolf-eating birds that were being brought back in the distance, Langdon said, "Those guys are not here either, they are the same as those wolves, they have been driven deeper into the forest, and it is a dragon that has driven them!"
"A white dragon to be exact. After receiving Langdon's signal, Tior, who had been standing quietly behind, continued: "We have searched most of the traces in the vicinity, because those wolfeaters have not been here for a long time, so we have obtained a lot of information, and we have also roughly drawn the migration trend of the wolfeaters, plus the various information we got before leaving, combined with a conclusion, it is a dragon that drove the wolfeaters out of their place of residence!
No matter where they are, dragons have always been high-end creatures, and there are many types of dragons, such as fire dragons and ice dragons classified according to the elemental system, as well as metal dragons such as so-called bronze dragons and brass dragons, and magical dragons such as elven dragons and fairy dragons.
Among these dragons, the white dragon belongs to the lower one, without the all-resistant skin of the black dragon, nor the powerful magic power of the fairy dragon, nor the hand-to-hand combat ability of the five-colored dragon.
The white dragon can fight hand-to-hand, average, resistant, average, can spell, general, all aspects are average among dragons, none of them are outstanding and powerful.
However, don't ignore that these are general, for dragons, and for other creatures, these general, are powerful!
"Any more news?" Langdon asked.
"This white dragon has long appeared in the adventurer's narrative, but because his location is far away from our intended destination, and a large number of adventurers have descriptions such as 'this white dragon's territory is very fixed, as long as you don't provoke him, you will hardly leave the territory', so I did not send someone to collect information about him. ”
"In other words, there is only the most basic information about this white dragon?" Langdon asked again, and Tior nodded.
"Okay, then, now in front of us, no, mainly in front of you, that's the situation, we're here to clear the roads and strongholds, not to grab food with adventurers, so, if there are no other big threats in between, then the next battle you have to face is with a white dragon. Langdon said, looking at Alfred.
"I can give you two pieces of information, first, the white dragon is proficient in both hand-to-hand combat and spells, which is extremely difficult to deal with, but it can't breath dragons, which is good news. ”
"In addition, as a highly intelligent creature, the white dragon likes to take his men and let them guard the treasure for him during his long slumber, which means that you will have to face a large number of other monsters in addition to a white dragon. ”
"So......" Langdon asked word for word, "Are you ready to become a dragon slayer?"
"Dragon Slayer ......" Alfred chewed on these two words, raised his hand and clenched his fist, slammed it on his chest, and said in a loud voice: "Your Excellency, please wait, I will bring the corpse of that white dragon to your lordship!"
