As soon as he returned to the castle hall, Iroh found that the atmosphere in the valley was indeed very different, and there was a feeling that the mountain rain was about to come and the wind was full of buildings.

There was no one in the castle, and if you think about it, the castle itself is a dangerous building, how can it be used as a fortress of war?

Without further delay, Iroh spread his wings and flew straight to Hope, the only place in the valley that could be defended was the goblins' town, even if it was only slightly better than the castle that could collapse at any moment.

It seemed that after the end of the war, it was time for a complete renovation of the castle.

The huge dragon shadow quickly swept across the ground, and there was indeed not a single figure to be seen along the way. Iroh relaxed a little, Raja was not aggressive, but he was still very good as a defender, at least he knew how to concentrate his strength.

But the three dragons of the Tokamak faction...... I don't know how, they don't necessarily listen to Raja.

Thinking of this, Iroh's heart lifted again. Both Vis and Hillcat are very talented young dragons, and he has decided to start raising them from a young age, and it would be too bad if they were lost early.

Karamank is a young dragon summoned by spending faith points, it can be said that he is the strongest in the valley except for himself, and in the current situation, there is absolutely no room for error.

Although he was secretly anxious, Iroh remained as calm as ever, and went directly to the sky above Hope Town. Seeing the arrival of the familiar figure, the crowd below couldn't help but let out a cheer, and the person who hurried up to meet him was none other than Raja.

"Thank you, gods, Lord Lord, you're finally back! I thought we were all going to die here!"

Raja hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, his face saved, and the goblins behind him smiled with joy. Iroh nodded slightly, the results of faith indoctrination have become more and more obvious, these goblins are obviously self-oriented, which is a good phenomenon.

"I won't give up on you. "Soon," he whispered, "my enemies will remorse for provoking this war." Now, what happened during my absence?"

"Great lord, you are so merciful!" said Raja, habitually offering a word of flattery, followed by a bitter outpouring at once.

"In the days since Lord Lords left, everything has remained the same, my people continue to build Hopetown, the three adults try to expand our territory, and the new lizardmen have not caused any conflict. ”

"But just the day before yesterday, a human mage escaped from the north and asked for our refuge. The three adults didn't intend to say yes at first, but the mage said a lot of nice things and took out a lot of treasure...... So he came in. Who knew that since yesterday, a lot of guys have come to the entrance of the valley, and we have harbored fugitives, so we want to bulldoze here!"

Raja was obviously frightened and frightened, and he cried out that snot and tears were about to come down together, "My lord, I wanted to negotiate with them and hand over that evil mage...... But they don't listen to me, and they want to turn us all into slaves! No, they were safe yesterday, and today they look like they could rush at any moment!"

"And the leader of that group of fellows seems to be a fire giant, bigger than the tallest tree I've ever seen!" Raja hesitated, but added, "But, maybe bigger than you, master......"

"yes, that's terrible. ”

To Raja's surprise, Iroh did not become irritable at all because of this situation, nor was he angry because he was suspected of "growing the morale of others and destroying his own prestige".

Seriously, he's under a lot of pressure these days, and only Vis can barely listen to a few words out of the three dragons, and both Shilkat and Karamank are clamoring to fight those people, and it can be seen that the invasion of the territory has hit them hard.

Fortunately, the black dragon and the blue dragon are not brainless fools, although the momentum on their lips is not weak at all, they also understand that the enemy outside is so strong that they can't deal with it, so they don't choose to fight, but throw all the pressure on themselves.

Sorry for God, if Iroh doesn't come back today, maybe I'll have to be served as dinner by the dragons......

The bad news comes one after another, but it's all in Aelo's expectations, and this seems to be a desperate situation, but in fact, as long as you think about it carefully, you will find that it is not without a turnaround.

The most obvious thing is that the group of fellows had been gathering at the entrance of the valley for more than a day, but they were not attacking.

Iroh believed that with the air force, they could not have been unaware of the fact that there was no power in the valley, but they did not choose to attack - Raja had ruled out the possibility that they wanted to capture the human mage alive, so there were only two explanations for this.

Either they didn't know that they weren't in the valley before, so they were thinking of a way to deal with them or waiting for reinforcements, or there was infighting!

Iroh himself was more inclined to the second possibility, because they had no reason to be afraid of themselves. Come to think of it, even if Weiss and Hilcart weren't spotted by the ferocious bats because of their size, Karamank was too big to be found.

However, they did not choose to retreat when they knew that there was a dragon in the valley and that there might be more to come, which only showed that they did not care about the dragon.

It's a pity......

If you come back early, maybe you can use the problem to play and play some psychological tactics. But the time has come for the time to make a decision as soon as possible.

As for what Raja said about the fire giants?

Iroh never cared about the name of strength and weakness, he only cared about the impact of strength and weakness. Since Raja mentioned that the fire giant was strong, Iroh was a little eager to see it...... The opponent is much stronger than the Frost Dancer, so he has a good idea of the next time he will challenge the Iota Arena.

Then there's the human mage, who is actually most interested in this matter, and according to Raja, it's just a desperate and suspicious guy. But Iroh is more concerned about what he can gain from the other party, you must know that mages have always been synonymous with the pursuit of wisdom, and a qualified, or real mage, must have a good foundation......

Of course, Iroh was going to think about mages after the war was over.

Iroh knew that he had two choices now: the first was to fight hard with those people outside, and if he won, it would be good, and if he lost, he would continue to cower in Hope Town.

He had observed the besieging army before, and to put it mildly, it was simply a rabble, although the goblins under his command were not much better, but if he led the three dragons to really make up his mind to fight a bloody battle, at least he could make those people have some scruples, thus dragging this war into a long-term war.

As for taking off the pendant?

Iroh was sure that he would be able to wipe out his enemies by doing so, but then he was afraid that he would become the focus of the continent.

Of course, he had a second option, which was to leave the Icourt Valley alone, simply abandon the territory, and lead the three dragons and Raja out of the sky - although there was a fierce bat brigade on the other side, but in front of the four dragons, Iroh believed that they were just flying cookies.

But doing so is like starting over, not only will the efforts of more than a month be wasted, but his position in the Tokamak faction will also be shaken...... If you don't have good luck in the future, you will lose all your money.

It's really hard to make a choice when you think about it, and even if Iroh is open-minded at this time, it's hard to make up her mind.

"Don't worry, I've got an idea. ”

Although it was said a lot, it was actually only a few seconds before Arlo weighed it up.

He still decided to stay first, firstly, he may not be able to defeat those rabble, secondly, there is no better base than the Ikot Valley nearby, and giving up here means having to go on a bigger adventure, thirdly, as I just said, although Iroh is the boss of the Tokamak faction at the moment, he can see very clearly, whether it is Vess or Hilcart and Karamank, they all covet their positions all the time.

They're just waiting for themselves to make a mistake and then knock themselves down. It's not about camaraderie, it's about the nature of dragons.

Colored dragons believe that all dragons are superior to other creatures, that colored dragons are superior to non-colored dragons, that their species are superior to other species of colored dragons, and that each colored dragon generally believes that it is superior to all of its kind. Even though they knew that older dragons were stronger than them, they believed they would be stronger when they reached that age.

This innate arrogance leads to more dragon-to-dragon conflicts than greed or ambition over prey, territory, or magical items. Even when dragons act together as temporary groups, each dragon feels that it is up to them to manage their affairs. A dragon can temporarily restrain its impulses for the greater good, yet it still exists in the dragon's subconscious.

Besides, Iroh's unbelligerence doesn't mean that he will turn down any opportunity to show his strength.

If you can fight with that fire giant and try the opponent's catties, you will have more bottom. Although he had defeated Karamanke before, everyone knew that defeating a pre-youth dragon was not defeated.

Karamank did not awaken his talent, and only the dragon that awakened his talent could truly begin to take shape.

As for the second level of the Iota Arena, he doesn't plan to challenge it yet. Because if you fail the challenge, you won't die, but you will take half of the lethal damage - Iroh has no interest in masochism, and the first challenge is purely careless.

So Iroh was expecting an opponent who could test his true level.

Thinking of this, Iroh found a comfortable position and half-lay down.

"Let Ves, Hilcart, Karamank, and the mage come over for a moment, and then go and count all the forces we can have at our disposal in the whole town of Hope, and see how many troops we have at our disposal. ”

"Yes, noble lord, I'll do it!"

It has to be said that Raja became more and more proficient in management, and soon, the three dragons flew back from different directions, and a grizzled man hurriedly walked out of a small earthen hut not far away.

After a few days, Weiss and Hilcart, who were in the midst of a period of rapid growth, grew larger again, and these two small dragons, which were originally carried by the earth elemental one by one, are now almost the size of a big horse.

Karamank has not changed much, but Iroh can see that after his own blow, the young blue dragon's heart seems to have calmed down a little, at least not like when they first met, when they were slightly "offended" and angry.
