Chapter 27: "Safe" Camps

The "Pillar of Skull", a massive skull made of a symbol of the evil loot obtained in the bloody battle, stands silently in the gravel wastes of Aphnath, the first layer of Bato's Hell. At the base of this epic creation lies a huge crater, where the lair of the five-colored dragon god Tiamat was established. This is where the Evil Dragon Court is known to all the colorless dragons.

Following the Dragonborn Warrior Usher, the army of the Dragon's Lair Clan entered the vast military camp that was preparing for battle on the outskirts of the Evil Dragon Court, and the scale of this military camp was far greater than the leaders of any material plane army could have imagined. The tribal army led by the legendary dragon Salotta walked into the barracks like a drop of water flowing into a river, and it did not cause the slightest ripple.

"Lord Salotta, by order of the Evil Dragon Council, you have reached the designated meeting place. As a Legendary Dragon, you are entitled to go to the royal court alone to meet the Great Dragon Queen and listen to your teachings. ”

"And how will my clan settle now?"

"At present, it is less than a month before Aphernas and the 489th plane of the abyss, the hostile force of this battle, meet. Your adult kindred will need to lead the warriors of your clan to wait with the army assembled by the royal court, and when the war begins, you will lead them into battle on the frontal battlefield," the Dragonborn warrior recounted earnestly according to his duty, "As for the young dragons who have not yet reached adulthood, they will be scattered, and they will lead or join some Bartow mercenary camps to adapt to the war in some low-intensity battlefields." ”

"Properly arranged, praise the merciful dragon queen. ”

In Salotta's hand, a high-grade magic shield that shone with a spell aura, the trophy of his youthful battle with a group of adventurers, was handed to the bright-eyed Dragonborn usher.

"I will go to meet the great dragon god, please accept my gift, and please take care of my young juniors a little," the legendary dragon's dragon claw pointed at several blue dragons that were not yet adults, including the juvenile dragon Quis, "Although there is a benevolent arrangement of the dragon queen, it is still too dangerous for the little dragons who have not yet seen a big scene to participate in this expedition." ”

Bribery is one of the basic means of communication in Barto's Hell, and it plays a very important role in the promotion of the Barthez Devils, and there is even a school called the "Nine-Story Hell Political Academy", which specializes in educating young demons who want to learn various ways to gain power.

The Dragonborn usher, named Marano Mocking Wind, smiled at the legendary blue dragon's "gift", and then patted his strong chest and said that he would properly arrange some low-intensity battlefields to give the young blue dragons time to adapt to the bloody battle, and he was much more enthusiastic than before.

The legendary dragon nodded in satisfaction, spread its wings, and flew towards the pillar of skulls in the center of the sprawling barracks......

......

It is the so-called "there are people in the DPRK and China who are easy to do", and the so-called "eating people with soft mouths and short hands". Receiving the benefits from Salotta, the Dragonborn Usher did his best to select a few remote mercenary camps for the young people of the legendary Blue Dragon.

"It's really low enough intensity here," Having seen the astonishing scale of the main battle army camp, Quest couldn't name the place in front of him that was tied up by a wooden fence as "camp": "But if you're unlucky, when the projection of the abyss plane and Aphnanas begin to overlap in a few days, it happens that a demon army will appear here, and if the main battlefield doesn't start a war to attract the attention of the demons, I'm afraid this place will become very dangerous." ”

Quest didn't get along with the other young blue dragons, in fact, for Barto's mercenary camp, if there were more than two dragons stationed together, it might be a key target for the Abyss Demon's army, so it would be safer to be with the main battle army.

Before going to this mercenary camp, Quest "recruited" the three ogre brothers to the adult blue dragon in the station to set off with him, the reason is very simple, after all, among the creatures he knows, these three brothers are the only ones who can be called "simple" in character, and their combat ability is still above the baseline.

When they arrived on the battlefield, they could finally take care of themselves, not to mention saving their own lives at critical times, at least they should not stab their own people "in the back" as the Batzu devils are used to.

In addition to taking his companion away, before leaving, he also deliberately used some of the belongings he had accumulated to exchange some fine armor and weapons for the three of them and himself.

Quest wasn't going to fight in his apparently underage dragon form, it was definitely trying to attract the attention of the demon army while reminding them that "this is a soft persimmon - come and pinch it".

In this way, Blue, who always has an idea, Paru, who always has a potion, Naru, who always has strength, and Quis, who has become a human boy, walked into the humble mercenary camp in front of him.

"Stand up to you guys from the material plane," as soon as they entered the camp, two Barb Demon guards stopped Quest and his party with jagged two-handed machetes in their hands, "Show your orders, or you will be treated as an intruder and killed." ”

Quest showed the Command Scroll from the Dragonborn usher, Marano Mockingwind, to the two guards, and the group who tried to enter the camp by blocking them was not allowed to pass through.

One of the barbed demons gestured to his companion with his eyes, and Quest noticed the small movements of the demons, and it turned out that the two evil creatures were actually worried about the armor that Quest was wearing, and the gesture with his companion was to launch a surprise attack together and kill Quest to get the spoils.

As for the few strong ogres around Ques, they thought that even if they were a gang, they would not stand up for Ques. With the barb demon out of the Batzu family's philosophy of life, it is impossible to protect or avenge their companions.

Besides, as long as you kill this human boy with the command in hand, you can completely frame the ogre, and then call the other guards in the camp to kill the three ogre "murderers" to maintain order in the camp.

I have to say, this is indeed very Bato and very devilish.

"A crime that is not caught is not a crime," seeing through the tricks of the two barb demons, Quest pulled out the newly purchased sword with additional sharpness without thinking about it, and under the power and agility of the dragon, although he had not systematically learned any martial arts skills, the sharp sword still accurately pierced into the heart of the barb demon who signaled his companion to attack.

At the same time, almost as swift as Quest's decisive strike was the Ogre Witch Doctor, a solution of strong acid that spewed out of the Troll's Skull Staff into the jaw of another barb demon who wanted to scream for more guards because his companion had been killed. Unlike demons, demons are completely immune to the damage of strong acids, and their strong acid resistance only works on the surface of the skin, and the strong acid poured into his body through his throat not only makes him lose the ability to scream, but also makes this barb demon feel the pain of life worse than death.

"Well, Palu, the creatures in this place are really strong, and you can't even turn into pus when you soak in acid, you see he can still struggle. Blue the Ogre Gourmand pulled out his "whaling fork", and although Quest had given a few ogres some new weapons in the camp before, they were still used to using their previous ones: "How about we try the roast after soaking in acid, I have heard a saying that acid can stimulate the deliciousness of food, and I have never found meat that can withstand the acid you make." ”

The ogre gourmand said excitedly.

PS: [Note 1] Babas: In the DND system, the contempt of the creatures of the lower realm for the creatures of the material plane was later learned by other creatures of the immaterial plane, possibly due to the mixing of all the races in the imprint city.
