Chapter 741: New Roundtable
Swamp dragons have no intelligence, nor do they have active talents such as bloodthirsty and berserk, they take full advantage of the dragon's vein body, and their strength and speed are very strong, and they can almost compete head-on with the leader of the ogre in a berserk state without falling behind. Dressed in thick skin and heavy armor, combined with its extraordinary regeneration and elemental resistances, the steely, life-strong drakemon is enough to make most enemies shy away.
Monsterology classifies swamp dragon lizards as silver-tier lord creatures, and is the top class. They have the arrogant nature of the dragon species, they like to be alone, they do not submit to the swamp overlord Hydra lizard, and they are even less likely to be domesticated by humans.
In fact, the dragon lizards created by the Alchemy Tower are not combat units in the true sense of the word, they do not have the wild instincts and strong desire to kill of ferocious creatures, but the alchemy dragon lizards are particularly large, weighing nearly 1,300 kilograms.
The average adult dragon lizard in nature weighs 800 kilograms, and only a few elderly individuals can grow three hearts and weigh more than 1 ton. And the alchemy dragon lizard uses this kind of dragon lizard template, with their strong physical fitness and regeneration talent, they can barely touch the edge of the silver-level beast, but the actual combat power is not as good as that of ordinary swamp dragon lizards.
The mountain fortress gathered more than 100 third-level source blood militia and more than 100 alchemy militiamen, plus more than 30 alchemy mastiffs and more than 50 bear dogs, these are the main combat forces of the expedition. But they were scattered around the valley camp on either side of the castle, and Todd didn't see how many people were in the secret castle, his attention was completely drawn to the 15 "giant swamp dragon lizards".
The Silver Knight is more difficult to deal with a swamp dragon lizard alone, but it can still be killed under normal circumstances. There are 15 swamp dragon lizards that claim not to accept domestication, and if the 15 Silver Knights see such an amazing scene, it is best to choose to take a detour.
Fifteen swamp dragon lizards are more intimidating than fifteen silver knights.
The most important thing is, what kind of characters can make 15 lord-level fierce beasts lie on the ground and honestly line up in two teams?
This also means that the Randall family has captured 15 swamp dragon lizards in the Swamp, and can tame more in the future.
Todd instinctively turned his fighting spirits and adjusted his vision to find the swamp dragon lizard's trainer, and then he noticed that someone was riding on the neck of a swamp dragon lizard, causing the dragon lizard to let out a low roar.
While Todd was concentrating his gaze, the man suddenly raised his head and looked at it first. At a distance of hundreds of meters, Todd's gaze met with the steel cone-like gaze, and he immediately felt that his eyeballs were oppressed by an invisible force, and his heart sank, and the thumb of his left hand naturally pressed against the hilt of the sword. But the next moment, the sense of substance in the other party's eyes disappeared, and Todd's spirit relaxed, and he couldn't help but be horrified in his heart: that person could mobilize and disintegrate his will to fight just by looking at him?
If the other party is an enemy, Todd has no doubt that he does not even have the ability to fight back in front of him.
"You're the Mercury Chieftain, Ghost-Faced Rider Todd?" the man said from the ground from the neck of the swamp dragon lizard, "I'm Lord Nelson Randall. ”
Nelson walked steadily, as if he walked slowly and quickly, and Todd hurriedly saluted him, and said respectfully, "Lord Lord, I am Todd the ghost. ”
Known as the kingdom's number one fierce warrior, the Bear of the Northland is also the number one henchman of His Highness Randall, commanding the family guard and 6,000 mercenary soldiers. Todd learned Nelson's strength and status from the old spy Barol, but the Lord himself was stronger than he expected.
Nelson was certainly not the one who domesticated the swamp dragon lizard, though. He rode on the neck of the dragon lizard, which seemed very unhappy.
The ferocious beast of the Silver Order was very unhappy, but did not bite Lord Nelson...... Could a swamp dragon lizard have such a good temper?
Todd would have quietly added the Mystic Beast Tamer to his list of family members to look up to, and he was ranked higher than Lord Nelson.
Nelson was pure-minded, without many, complicated thoughts. The Ghost-faced Knight was able to wake up in time under his gaze, and with this will to fight, this veteran apprentice knight who ignited the fire of the heart was recognized by the bear of the Northland.
Nelson patted Todd on the shoulder and said approvingly, "You're good...... Let's go to the castle now, and everyone will be waiting for you. ”
Todd was half a position behind Nelson and cautiously asked, "Lord Lord, you came to pick me up yourself?" I'm sorry...... I'm late. ”
Nelson laughed and said triumphantly, "I want to ride the dragon lizard out and use the excuse of picking you up...... Unfortunately, the big guys didn't listen to me at all, and you arrived at the scheduled time before I could ride out. ”
The Bear of the Northland did not shy away from his petty attempts, showing affection for the mercury leader he met for the first time, and revealing a lot of information.
Anyone who responded to His Highness Randall's call to take on a dangerous mission was treated as a companion by Lord Nelson. Todd was secretly delighted, and he kept silent as he followed Nelson into the large castle at the top of the hill.
They went straight up to the second floor and walked into the military command hall at the end of the corridor. The room was lit with candles, and in the center of the hall was a round table, with four men and one woman sitting around them, and when they saw Nelson and Todd enter, they rose to greet them.
Nelson turned to the side, pointed at Todd, and introduced to everyone, "This is the master's secret knight, Ghost-faced Todd. ”
Mercury belongs directly to His Highness Randall, and Nelson knows what Todd has done for the family, but he doesn't pretend that he is well-informed, and only briefly states Todd's code name.
The five people in the hall saw Todd for the first time, and their eyes were scrutinizing and suspicious, and their posture was cold. Only a tall, fit, fair-skinned and beautiful woman greeted with a little enthusiasm: "Hi, handsome knight, you can sit here." ”
As she spoke, she patted the chair beside her.
Todd was also the first time he had participated in a formal family meeting, and as the head of the Randall family's secret agents, he knew everyone here.
His Royal Highness's squire knights Brandon and Klaus, peers who just turned 18 years old this year, are naturally awakened veteran trainee knights, and have the potential to be promoted to transcendent knights; Rogers and Red Wolf, the fierce warriors of the Randall family, one is a mountain hunter and a rising star of the Bear Mercenary faction, and the other was originally an adopted thief from Barol, who worked as a spy in Mercury for a while, but he has nothing to do with Mercury now.
A well-built and flamboyant woman named Marcie, a fierce female warrior who ignited the fire of her heart, is said to have strangled a silver-tiered centaur commander on the battlefield of the Sassan Empire, earning her the title of "Blood Python". Moreover, before she joined the Randall family, she was the leader of a gang of outcasts, with dozens of lives in her hands, and she was a very murderous woman.
Mercury's information shows that among the Randall family's fierce warriors, Marcy's strength is second only to Nelson, and she may have reached the level of the first silver level.
In the future, these people are all Todd's mission companions, and it is necessary for him to fit into this small group, thought for a moment, put an elegant smile on his face, nodded, and sat down next to Marcy.
"Todd...... Why is your code name 'Ghost Face'?" asked Marcy in a whisper, a hint of curiosity on her face.
"I was disfigured before, and it was the owner who helped me regain my appearance. Todd replied politely.
Marcie's eyes lit up, and the chair moved to Todd's side, and said, "Yes, some time ago, I was blind in one eye, and the master asked a high-ranking priest to restore it for me, can you see it?"
Through the air, Todd could feel the heat coming from the Blood Python, and his intuition told him that if the topic of Marcy continued, she would ask him to marry within three days.
Just as Todd was feeling embarrassed, Nelson's penetrating voice rang out in the hall, "Huh, what about the Acre...... Why are you hiding in a corner? ”
Everyone turned their heads together, only to find that there was another person in the corner of the hall, who was curled up in a ball and was more burly than ordinary people.
None of you even found him?!
Todd was shocked in his heart, "Giant" Caligula was able to hide himself in front of everyone's eyes, and he was probably close to the realm of legends.
Aka covered his mouth with one hand and swayed his other hand repeatedly, looking very nervous and sneaky.
Todd and the others didn't know why, and suddenly there was an invisible sense of oppression that filled the entire hall, and it felt like their heart was being grabbed by someone, and it would stop beating at any time.
With the clatter of high heels hitting the floor, the power of the sense of oppression became stronger and stronger, except for Caligula who continued to shrink in the corner, everyone present stood up and faced the entrance of the hall with a solemn expression.
His Royal Highness Randall, who had black hair and golden eyes, and Lady Charlotte walked into the room, and he restrained a chubby little girl, followed by a man covered in black robes. Todd and the others stared at the last four ladies to enter the room.
They are tall and graceful, and the beauty of their postures can be described as moving, but their heads have white horns that have been curved before, and they are not pure human beings at first glance.
His Royal Highness Randall is not a pure human being, he is now a half-elf, and in the future he will become the emperor of the elven race, the sun elf high above.
No one dared to mention this to His Highness Randall in person, however, Lord Randall's Sword Saint gave the impression of being a relatively gentle and elegant type. But the four ladies who followed him brought fear to people, and they exuded a majesty like the legendary dragon might.
...... Dragon?
There are four female dragons under the master?!
"Restrain yourself, these people are companions, and they need your protection. ”
As the pleasant voice of His Highness Randall sounded, the pent-up fear in the room suddenly disappeared. Todd breathed a sigh of relief, catching a glimpse of beads of sweat oozing from the white and full forehead of the "Blood Python" Marcy. The fierce female warrior with sharp instincts had just been under several times more pressure than he was.
A red-haired and red-eyed dragon lady looked around the audience, pointed to Caligula who was standing in the corner with a flattering smile on her face, and said, "My king, this human is very strong, and this person is ......" She pointed at Lord Nelson again, and asked in a crisp voice, "Do they need protection too?"
One by one, the knights and fierce warriors of the clan craned their necks and opened their mouths like goose-headed geese. Victor has a headache, and he asks the dragon maid to protect these people, but Layla uses protection as a measure of status. But in Victor's heart, the status of the dragon maid is the lowest, and if they think that their status is higher, they will have to cause trouble later.
Argonian females have only recently been born, and it seems that baby instincts are greater than anything else, and it will take a while more to make them understand.
Victor chose to ignore Lyla's question, and he pulled Bertina to sit down at the round table, and motioned for Charlotte and Emerson to take their seats as well. Aka scrambled over and found a chair to sit next to Bertina.
"It's the round table, the traditional meeting format of the Randall family. It's been a long time since I've personally chaired a round table......"
Victor knocked on the table and continued, "Nowadays, there are many family members who have lost their membership in the Round Table. And the first group of people to participate in the round table, only Lord Nelson is left here...... Ladies and gentlemen, you have answered my call and are willing to follow me on a dangerous mission. I therefore give you the authority to participate in the round tables. So far, the new roundtable members include Lord Nelson, Lady Nicole, Caligula, Lady Lilia, Lady Charlotte, Lady Marcy, Brandon Knight, Klaus Knight, Todd Knight, Rogers, and the Red Wolves. ”
"In addition, I would like to introduce you to two more members of the Round Table, Bertina Randall and Emerson Randall. ”
"The new generation of Randall Roundtable, with a total of 13 seats and 13 members. ”
