Chapter 29: Nature
Vess swallowed hard, he was very conflicted now.
About half an hour ago, the war in the Icourt Valley came to an end with the outbreak of a small Void Storm.
Even the self-proclaimed wisdom of him had to say that he couldn't come up with a better tactic than Iroh, he and his brother helped the goblins and lizardmen of Hope Town on the ground battlefield, and the dragon power of the two black dragons was very effective against this kind of small-scale war, even if it was a young black dragon.
Despite the fact that there were several times the number of kobolds on this side, the battle situation was still pulled into a stalemate, rather than falling into disadvantage in an instant as Weiss imagined.
The presence of the two ogres was a great threat, but they tried to avoid the ogres as much as possible according to Iroh's instructions, and at the same time killed and injured the kobolds, and soon those kobolds who liked to bully the weak and fear the hard began to flee under the influence of Long Wei.
There weren't many ogres in the first place, and Iroh had most of them in check, so the two ogres were almost immediately rushed by the fleeing kobolds to stand unsteadily, and Hillcat saw the opportunity to send a flame breath, allowing the two stupid big men to appreciate the power of the dragon.
The sky battlefield in charge of Karamank is also going very well, the dragon is the overlord of the sky, and for the blue dragon, the ferocious bat is no different from food. Even if more than a hundred ferocious bats could pose a threat to a young blue dragon, after the fire giants had transferred a small half of them back to their side, Karamank realized that there was nothing left in the sky to stop him.
By the way, it turns out that the ferocious bats that were transferred back didn't do anything at all: Iroh was also a baby dragon, but his dragon might was stronger than Calamunk, and the bats hovering above the fire giants escaped faster than anyone else when Iroh took off.
In short, the victor this time is undoubtedly the Tokamaks.
However, while cleaning up the battlefield, Vis noticed a small problem, that is, Iroh did not show up.
Supposedly, as the leader of the Tokamaks and the lord of the Ikut Valley, it is impossible for him not to show up after the victory, and perhaps the humans will do so for some reason, but this is not in the nature of the dragons.
Unless...... There's something Aelo can't do to show up!
Thinking of this possibility, Weiss's heart shuddered, and almost instantly he thought of the Void storm at the entrance of the valley.
In the Legacy Memory, Vis found a description of the Void early on.
The corporeal matter in the universe is made up of worlds, and the disembodied dark energy forms a distorted void. The entire Twisted Void connects the various worlds, and the Twisted Void is a different world full of chaotic energy, the home of the Void Demons, and the source of strange energy.
The Twisted Void has no oxygen for living creatures, and it is filled with chaotic energy and all kinds of deadly rays, and only void creatures can survive in it.
Once the Void is connected to the Main Plane, there are not enough means to ensure a stable connection, and the Void Storm will be created - as for the power, Vis has just seen it.
That place...... Almost everything was destroyed, from fire giants, kobolds, ogres, to flowers and trees, and even large rocks.
At first he thought it was a hidden trick by Iroh, but then he became suspicious.
If Iroh could really cause a powerful Void Storm, he didn't believe that Iroh didn't have the certainty of getting out, after all, the danger of the Void was clear to any dragon. Moreover, before entering the Ancient Dragon Period, it was impossible for the Dragon Clan to confront the power of the Void head-on with their physical bodies.
In other words, Iroh ...... There may have been an accident.
Of course, Vis didn't believe that Iroh would be so simple as to die in the Void Storm with the enemy, this dragon surprised him so much that he had to overestimate the other party as much as possible!
So while Hillcat and the others were busy celebrating, Vis sneaked out and searched for Ello's traces.
Finally, in the hall of the castle, he saw the familiar black figure again.
Somewhat different from his memory, at this moment, Iroh seemed to be completely exhausted, and fell to the ground heavily, looking motionless from a distance.
Vis could feel that Iroh's breath had become very weak, and although from a distance, there were no scars on his body, but the feeling of weakness and even a little dying could not fool him!
What's more, the puddle of clotted blood not far from Ailo didn't look like a fake.
After a moment's hesitation, Vis moved closer. Now he could clearly see that the black dragon was unconscious, and if it weren't for the slight rise and fall of its abdomen, it would be no different from a corpse.
Opportunity...... Is it coming?
The moment the thought crossed his mind, Ves's heart began to beat violently.
That's right, although he admits that Iroh is the boss, it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to be the boss. On the contrary, Vis spends his time watching Ello, and when he is weak, he kills him in one fell swoop.
Now, it seems that my opportunity has come.
"Calm ......"
Vis took a deep breath and slowly let his heartbeat soothe. Iro's influence on him was too deep, even if Iroh didn't have any consciousness at the moment, and he was extremely weak, Weiss didn't dare to act rashly.
The hall was silent, and Vis couldn't hear anything except his own heartbeat.
Maybe there will be no better chance in the future, just fight for it...... Just kill ...... Iro!
The thought seemed to be tempted by a devil in his ears, and Vis closed his eyes, and after a moment finally made up his mind.
In the face of that black dragon, no matter how cautious he is, he can't make a move yet. Let's get a little closer......
"How are you, are you alright?" "Vis muttered boldly as he leaned closer to Iroh to observe, "Y-ah!"
The next moment, Iro, who fell to the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, and the golden threads flashed wildly in the dragon's eyes with the central axis cracked into petals, and he grabbed Vess's neck with lightning speed, and asked coldly, "Is there something wrong?"
"I didn't ...... I was just...... Look at ......"
Vis rolled his eyes at him, and he tried to break Elo's pincer-like front paws, but it was apparently in vain, he could even hear his own neck bone clicking, and he had no doubt that the black dragon, which had suddenly gone berserk, would pinch off his head with a single blow of his hand.
Damn, could it be that Iroh was testing himself by pretending to be weak? Is he already exposed? Is everything going to be over......
Ello's eyes glittered with gold, like two flaming sun flames, and the dark red light in the depths of his pupils made Vess, a dragon, shudder a little.
It was the first time Vis had looked at Ello so closely, but he had preferred it to be the last.
Vis was filled with remorse at the moment. He should have thought that with Iroh's cautious and sinister character, it was impossible to put himself in danger easily, maybe after the last inexplicable injury, Iroh had already doubted himself, and this time he planned to expose his flaws, so as to get rid of the hidden danger naturally......
It's really a wrong step, and you lose everything!
With a bitter smile in his heart, Weiss completely gave up the struggle and closed his eyes and waited for death. This time, it was he who lost completely.
But in the end, instead of breaking his neck, Iroh stared at him coldly for a long time, and suddenly let go of his hand, leaving Ves's already small body aside.
"Report the results of the war to me, tell Raja, and let him continue building Hope Town. Then have that mage come to me. ”
"Ahem...... Yes, yes!"
Weiss coughed dryly for a long time before he recovered, and now that he had escaped death, he couldn't think much about anything, and his only thought was to obey Iroh's orders, and then stay away from here immediately!
Dragons are indeed very arrogant creatures, but few people know that their desire to survive is stronger than that of other creatures, but in general, there are few things that can scare dragons to the point of desperate survival.
In that sense, Elo has done something that many dragon slayer warriors have not been able to do.
When Iroh was the only one left in the castle hall, the young dragon finally let out a breath and fell to the ground again.
It's dangerous......
It was a simple thought that popped into his head. Yes, there is no triumph and arrogance of a victor, and Iroh is not much better than Vis for the rest of his life.
This time, it was really a combination of luck and various factors that I was able to survive.
First the two fire giants killed each other, then they won the bet and killed Zaerotus with their blood, and then they didn't know who caused the Void Storm and completely destroyed the enemy's core.
In the end, he relied on the spatial coordinates arranged in advance and the accumulated large number of faith points, so he was lucky to escape. If he hadn't woken up in time, Vis would have bitten his neck!
At least one thing Vis wasn't mistaken, and Iroh had been on the lookout for him for a long time. If it were a human, it might be able to cut the grass and eradicate it sensibly. However, Iroh is also a dragon, and he also has two characteristics: greed and arrogance.
Because of his greed, Iroh wanted to control as many of his men as possible, especially the followers of the Dragons, even if he knew that they were not loyal.
Because of his arrogance, Iroh believed he was capable of controlling the unruly dragon, even if his life had been threatened more than once.
And not only in the past, but also in the future, because this is the nature of dragons, and there is no possibility of changing.
Even if he dies because of this, Iroh has already come to his senses - it's just because he is too weak!
If you can't even control your subordinates, what qualifications do you have to talk about reversing the general trend of the world?
Slightly suppressing some of the agitated emotions, Iroh cast his gaze on the pool of blood.
It can be said that he was able to survive largely thanks to his own blood. As we have seen before, Ello's blood contains unimaginable poison, and Zan Rotus was poisoned to death with just a light lick, which shows how poisonous it is!
But...... The less people know about it, the better.
Thinking of this, Iroh immediately leaned over and stuck out his tongue to swallow all the dried blood clots into his abdomen. Fortunately, the bloodstains at the entrance of the valley did not survive due to the Void Storm, otherwise if it was known in the future, he might have developed a tactic against himself......
