Chapter Eighty-Seven: Forgotten Traditions
The first thing Solomon did when he returned to Cape Plenty was to get a wizard to examine Lanita.
No wounds were found on the Wing Clan's body, and according to Lanita's own account, she was not beaten or tortured during her time in captivity.
She just looked a little sluggish, had a high temperature, and yawned all the time.
The wizards said she might have contracted some cold, prescribed a pair of herbs for her, and told her to rest.
After Solomon set Lannita in place, he went to see the Storm Monarch and the Red Death.
Compared to the Winged Clan's maiden, the condition of the two-headed dragon was significantly worse.
The body was covered with large and small wounds, especially the red dragon, the blood hole in the neck looked very terrifying, and several Wing-Clan people filled it with some herbs, but they were all washed away by the blood that came out.
And under the stimulation of the severe pain, the red dragon is now very irritable, and no one is allowed to get close at all, before an unlucky ghost was scraped by the bone spurs on its wings, half of its body was dissected, and it was planted from the sky with a scream.
The WingClan, who are responsible for feeding it, are considering locking it up with chains so that it can be drugged and bandaged.
Solomon had been mentally prepared before he came, but he frowned after witnessing the tragic situation of the two-headed dragon.
This time the ambush was not accidental, but premeditated.
When Revisual went to meet him, he had already revealed that Li Yu was going to use Lanita to make a deal with him.
Solomon had guessed that Li Yu was likely to come to him on a dragon ride, so when he arrived at Horn of Plenty, he left only the Storm Monarch in the city, but let the Red Death hide in the woods not far away.
The purpose is to complete the bag clamp for Li Yu and the White Queen when they appear.
If he can get rid of the prophet of the Shuangxiu Sect and the betrayed White Dragon in one fell swoop, then there will be no obstacle to his conquest of the Western Territory this time, and in addition, he will not have to make a deal with the Shuangxiu Sect if he saves Lanita in advance.
Of course, Solomon also considered the possibility of failure.
At that time, he could also say that the attack was the spontaneous behavior of the two dragons, and the dragons couldn't speak anyway, and no Wing-Clan people appeared during the attack.
And when they met Li Yu later, they really didn't bother to talk about it.
But what Solomon didn't expect was that the Storm Monarch and the Red Death would be defeated so quickly and so badly.
All three dragons had been brought to Brattis by the Winged Clan, and they had all played a significant role in previous battles, and Solomon was familiar with them.
In order of strength, the Red Death is the well-deserved boss, and then it is the turn of the White Queen, the Storm Monarch is the weakest of the three-headed dragons because of his smallest size, but it is not too much worse than the other two dragons.
It stands to reason that any two of the three dragons can easily defeat the third one when they join forces, not to mention that the strongest Red Death is still on their side.
However, the result was that the White Queen defeated the other two dragons with one enemy and two defeats, and it could almost be said that she had no power to fight back.
This also caught Solomon a little off guard, and he had to order the army to rise into the air immediately and go to the rescue.
Otherwise, the commander of the Wing Clan is afraid that he will not catch a dragon in this ambush, and he will have to pay two more to go in.
And what makes Solomon the most incomprehensible is that he understands that the queen is still the white queen, but she has been missing for more than a month, why her strength will grow so terrifying when she comes back.
Not to mention that compared to the red dragon and the green dragon, even on the continent of Hadland, where they used to live, Solomon rarely saw such an outrageous dragon as strong.
He still didn't believe in the divine punishment prophesied by the guy named Merlin, but the latter's endless methods did cause him to be quite wary.
Although he did not want to admit it, Solomon felt a hint of threat, and the most effective way to deal with it was to strangle it in the cradle.
Therefore, even if the allies have not yet completed the assembly, Solomon still made a decision and demanded that the troops that had arrived at Cape Plenty should complete their preparations early tomorrow morning and leave for the west.
However, shortly after the order was given, Lanita came to the door.
The Wing Clan girl had already laid down on the bed, and drank the wine she had been thinking about, and she felt as if her body was feeling better under the influence of the alcohol.
She was about to close her eyes and fall asleep, but was woken up by the movement outside the watchman, and the Wing Clan girl called the wizard who took care of her, and only found out what was going on when she asked.
So she got dressed again and came to Solomon.
Lanita didn't talk nonsense, and said bluntly, "Take back your order and attack the Western Frontier in seven days." ”
Solomon was wiping his short blade, and instead of looking up, he asked, "Why?" ”
"Because that's one of the conditions for getting me back, what you promised Merlin in that little village." Lanita said angrily.
"When have you ever cared about promises?" Solomon stopped what he was doing and looked at the Winged Maiden, "Besides, it's still a promise to the enemy. ”
Lanita was dumbfounded for a moment.
"Or is there something I don't know about, did you make any other deal with Merlin behind my back?"
Solomon asked, but he didn't seem to care about the answer, and then waved his hand.
"You are the daughter of Zebulun, and the wizards will send to examine it...... What do you call it, investment, you're someone that wizards will send to review investments.
"I won't ask you about your work, I hope you can respect my work and don't interfere in the next war."
"I'm not going to dictate the way you lead your troops into battle, but please don't underestimate your opponent this time, Lord Solomon." Lanita said.
"The Arias family and the Shuangxiu Sect?"
"Especially the latter."
"I've learned Merlin's methods today, and it's really extraordinary, no wonder you missed in front of him before."
"So we need to be cautious as well."
Solomon thrust his blade back into the scabbard, "I agree with you, and that's why I'm asking the army to be drawn immediately.
"I don't know why Merlin postponed the war for seven days, but since this is what he wants, we can't let him do it."
"But both the Storm Monarch and the Red Death clearly need to recuperate right now."
However, the Wing Clan Commander remained unmoved, "The Red Death Reaper is too badly injured to stay, and the Storm Monarch is only slightly injured and will set off with us."
"It is enough to have those stone fortresses that it can deal with ordinary armies and the lords of the West, and it doesn't matter if the White Queen doesn't appear, if it dares to reappear, it will be up to our warriors to solve it.
"Our ancestors were already good at dragon hunting, and it's time to pick up the traditions that have been forgotten again."
