When Salotta launched a war call, the first dragons to arrive were the desert kobolds under the command of the legendary dragons. More than 1,000 strong young warriors from the three tribes of "Solid Teeth", "Sharp Claws" and "Healthy Feet" stood at the forefront of the many waiting dragon's nest dependents under the leadership of the blue dragon sacrifice of their respective tribes.

It has to be said that the legendary dragon has put a lot of thought into running the dragon's lair territory, and several core clan warriors have uniform armor and weapons, which is rare. The core tribes such as "Solid Teeth", "Sharp Claws", and "Healthy Feet", kobold warriors are almost equipped with nitrated leather armor and have an abundant supply of food, and these desert kobolds are young and even look stronger than human armies.

Of course, no matter how strong these clan warriors were, they couldn't stop the three ogre brothers. At a glance, Quest saw the three-headed ogre standing behind the "strongfoot" kobold warriors, standing among some of the alien slave warriors of the tribe.

The ogre's height gives him good vision, and he has sharp enough vision, so naturally he can see Quis waving his claws at them and beckoning. Of course, only the clever gourmand Blue and the steady witch doctor Palu discovered this, and Naru couldn't tell the baby blue dragon from so many blue dragons that looked similar except for their size, and of course this was also related to the fact that Ques's body was actually larger than the average young dragon.

With all the armies arriving one after another, the legendary dragon jumped from the cliff in front of the dragon's heart hall and took off into the sky, the shadow of the dragon's wings almost obscured the entire dragon's nest canyon, the expedition battle was imminent, in order to appease the tribal alliance, or for the order of the dragon's nest, he had to make some arrangements in advance.

"I, the lord of the dragon's lair and the legendary blue dragon Salotta, appointed my chief attendant, the Blue Dragon Priest and the legendary chief of the Sharptooth Tribe, Marongo Sharptooth, to guard the dragon's lair during the expedition," Salotta naturally spoke dragon language, and most of the core tribes were dragonborn creatures who could understand it, and after he announced the first appointment, an exceptionally strong kobold leaped up and transferred to the square where the dragons were squatting, signaling to all the dragon's nest tribes.

"This monarch is about to launch an expedition to an exotic land limited to a hundred years, and all those I have recruited, whether dragons, kobolds, or wurms, will cross this portal with me. Hovering in magic and swiping the claws of the legendary dragon in mid-air, spell after spell was chanted.

This is the powerful spell spell "Otherworldly Gate", which has been modified to a certain extent under the casting of Salotta. The channel time is shorter, the portal range is larger, and it is more stable, but it costs three times as much mana.

On the top of the square, with the chanting of the legendary dragon, a huge stone gate slowly rose, and the granite door, which was completely shaped by magic, rose so that even adult dragons could easily pass through it, and then stopped rising and grew larger. The swirling blue spell energy in the middle of the stone door emitted amazing spell fluctuations, and a faint solemn and magnificent and incomparably evil aura came from the other side of the door.

"Hiss," Quis gasped, the old dragon was really hidden, this spell Quis had carefully studied in order to be able to figure out the reason for his crossing. He knew how incredible the spells it would take to support a cross-border teleportation of an army of this scale.

"If the casters of the humans in this world use magic similar to Athas, I am afraid that the construction of this portal will require at least the life force of more than 10,000 slaves as equivalent mana. Quis was secretly shocked by the old dragon's hidden strength.

In fact, he still has some misunderstandings. Of course, Sasarota's ability to cast spells using the source of mystery is very powerful, and this spell does require a lot of mana to support it, but it is far from as amazing as Quest estimated.

The reason is simple, this portal communicates with Bato's Nine Prisons. As the saying goes, "It's easy to learn bad, but it's hard to learn well", and it's far easier to go to hell than to go to heaven.

In terms of inclusiveness, perhaps the most generous of the kingdoms of the gods are not as eclectic as the lower planes like the Nine-Layer Bato or the Bottomless Abyss.

Whether it is a sage who has done good all his life or a sinner who is full of evil, as long as the seeds of depravity are planted in his heart, he can easily find his own place in the lower realm.

Mortal beings have to pay some price to get to Bartow from the physical plane where they live, but the price is much less than climbing out of the nine layers of hell.

......

Bato – this is hell, a place where mercy withers and resentment flourishes. This is the home of the devil.

Avernath - the first level of Bato, the eternal frontier of the eternal bloody battle.

When he first set foot on this fabled land, Quest still had a lot of fear for the future, but there was still some excitement in his heart. Walking out of the teleportation circle of the Otherworldly Gate, the young blue dragon did not feel any dizziness and discomfort due to its excellent physique.

As far as the eye can see, there is an endless blood-red gravel wasteland, with the occasional hill or ravine dotting the land.

The concentration of elements in Bartow's air is much higher than in the matter plane, and it is relatively easy to cast spells here. In fact, even the unintelligent beasts that wander the wasteland in Aphnanas have some spell-like abilities.

In addition to the higher concentration of elements, this plane also has a strong rule of order, as a natural magical creature of the evil camp of order, the blue dragons feel that their strength has gained some hidden growth when they arrive here.

However, Salota still restrained his own clan and let the blue dragons cast a protective flame barrier together, after all, the army he brought was not like a giant dragon that could ignore the fireballs that would explode from time to time falling in the sky, although the vast majority of those tribal warriors would be cannon fodder in the future for bloody battles, but they would have to wait until they contributed their strength to the blue dragon lord on the battlefield.

Waiting for all the armies to come out of the portal one after another, during this time, from time to time, some of the beasts of the lower realm roaming in the first level of the wasteland of Bato peeked at this team with the aura of the unknown main material world. This is due to the greedy and bloodthirsty nature of the creatures of hell, but because there are so many powerful dragons in the ranks, these beasts have the desire to hunt, but they do not have the courage to act.

Salota had already signed the execution of the bloodline contract with his own arcane sigil, and as soon as he arrived in Aphnanas, some of the servants in the legion belonging to the Dragon Queen who were in charge of confirming the conscription were informed of his arrival.

In less than an hourglass, a dragonborn warrior loyal to the god of dragons came to meet Salotta and his army, and although there were many demons in the dragon queen's army, it was still creatures with dragon blood that were more likely to be entrusted by Tiamat.

"It's good for that disgusting creature that blasphemes the dragon's blood. ”

The legendary blue dragon was satisfied that he was hosted by a powerful "Iron Heart" Dragonborn Weapon Master[note 1] rather than the newly appeared Evil Dragon Descendant, and he even took on the form of a half-dragon as a sign of respect and communicated with the emissary.

"I am Salota, who has followed the call of the Great Dragon Queen to Aphernas to carry out the services set out in the contract. ”

"Welcome to this land with the mighty Legendary Dragon, and I am Marano Mockingwind, the inductor of the Great Dragon Queen's Dragon Council, follow me to the Evil Dragon Court of the Pillar of Skull, where you and your tribe will be properly accommodated after paying homage to His Highness Tiamat. ”

"As you wish......"

After the pleasantries, Salotta led the army of the Dragon's Lair to follow the Dragonborn warrior of the Mocking Wind Clan named Marano on a journey to the Pillar of the Skull. Occasionally, the powerful beasts of hell tried to ambush the army, and before Salotta could make a move, Marano, who led the process, wielded a double-headed spear to easily solve these "troubles".

"This kind of martial arts technique that is almost magical is probably the special ability of the warrior school known as the 'Iron Heart' of the weapon master," Quis, who saw this powerful dragon-born warrior on the way, thought secretly: "Maybe you should learn the combat skills of different martial arts schools, when you turn into a human form, you rely too much on the strength bonus of dragons, but if you can't hit the opponent, no matter how strong your strength is, it's useless." ”

Long before coming to Aphnanas, Salotta instructed her people to take on the form of humanoids as much as possible while fighting. If it is really invincible, it will transform into the true form of a dragon. After all, the huge size of the dragon still attracts too much attention in the bloody battle, and it is easy to be targeted by the demon army.

"The rafters rot first", Quis has made up his mind in this dangerous war, to keep this in mind, as long as he saves his life within two years, he can withdraw from Aphnanas first according to the contract and return to the material plane.

Due to the need to cast a fire protection spell enchantment on the Dragon's Lair clans, the Blue Dragons had to move slowly on the ground with the team.

After walking for nearly a day, a huge city wall appeared in everyone's field of vision, and the corner of this wall could not even be seen from afar.

Beyond the walls are a multitude of scaffolding of various materials, countless humanoid "soul shells" with blood-red bodies, which are the usual initial fate of the wicked who fall into Bato, and an equally large number of bad demons, driven by the whips of higher-ranking little devils or barbed demon overseers, who are constantly repairing the massive walls.

Every now and then, some scaffolding of poor quality will collapse, causing a group of coolies to fall into the flaming moat under the walls in a wail.

"This is the Bronze Fortress, and now its thirteenth wall is being built, and the lord of this year, Baryer......"

The Dragonborn Warrior stopped his words to slander the first-tier lord of Aphernas, but his disdain was revealed: "The powerful demons of the Bottomless Abyss can teleport infinitely and shortly every day, and no matter how tall the walls that have not been built to complete the 'Dimensional Anchor' spell cannot stop those disgusting demons...... The Devil Barthez likes to do these useless jobs, this race is definitely a race where bureaucracy prevails, but fortunately, Lord Astimols, the Lord of the Nine Prisons, invited the Great Dragon Queen to be the commander of the main battle......"

As a Receiver, it is your duty to brief the army recruited by the Dragon Queen about Bato and the Blood Station.

As the team continued to march, the Pillar of Skulls finally entered the field of vision of the Dragon's Lair tribesmen.

PS: [Note 1] Iron Heart Faction: Although it was not stated in the early setting of DND, it still defaulted to the most powerful mage class, and there was even such a saying that "the legendary group, if you can't cast spells, you can't cast human rights". For the sake of balance, the warrior monks and warriors in the later period all had some genres similar to "spells". The warrior class introduces nine martial arts schools: White Crow, Iron Heart, Pious Heart, Steel Soul, Desert Wind, Stone Dragon, Tiger Claw, Twilight, and Shadow Hand, among which Iron Heart is a school that belongs to the Weapon Master and prefers control over his own weapons and body.

Addendum: In the original setting of DND, Bartow only had a weak tendency to order, and the term "strong tendency to order" in this chapter is apocryphal. My thoughts are: 1. The Barthez clan has used the soul enhancement power of the criminals to transform Bato for so many years, and as a lair, there must be some racial bonuses. 2. The protagonist is still in the relatively "weak" stage, and there may be a slight bonus that can bring some enhancement in strength. 3. For the sake of the plot of the outline, this aspect will be discussed later. So I've changed this setting, so please don't pay too much attention to it.
