Chapter Thirty-Eight: Godia, the Earth Dragon

The swampy area near the Undead Wasteland was as barren as ever, and there were hardly any large creatures to be seen.

And to the north of it, the land of the elves, is full of life.

On the huge, rising tree walls, there are tall branches that lift up patches of greenery.

Every now and then, small creatures called goblins by other creatures would weave between the leaves and flowers.

In this peaceful and harmonious scene, there are elves hidden in the green shade formed by dense foliage, or directly between the branches of the leaves, holding long bows and short bows.

As long as they use the surging life force in their bodies, they will be able to pull the bowstring and shoot the arrows from the branches they tear from their hands as arrows, taking the life of any creature that comes close from the swamp to the south, and letting new shade spread over the corpses of their enemies.

It's just that, compared to this tree wall located due south, facing the vast swampy area to the south, at the same time, the southwest corner of the elven kingdom is under more pressure.

.......

In the southwest corner of the kingdom, there is also a wall of trees that stands up as a fortified wall.

It's just that what it faces is a stone forest full of rocks, with large and small terrain undulations, and a large number of barbarian races and tribes hiding and living.

Most of the remaining races of the originally destroyed kingdom rely on large and small crypts and hiding underground.

Here, too.

Here, a large number of lizardmen live.

Or, originally, a large number of lizardmen lived.

And the kingdom that originally belonged to them was a vassal kingdom of the Beast Empire.

However, in the war that shaped the wasteland of the undead and destroyed empires and kingdoms, they lost their homes.

It's just that the lizardfolk race is quite tenacious, whether it is in swamps or deserts, or in rich forests and plains, they can be found.

Their strong fecundity will quickly emerge in all corners of the country at the moment when the "period of peace" arrives.

Even, they dared to march towards the Undead Wasteland, piling up countless corpses in an attempt to establish a tribe in the horrible wasteland where the undead roamed.

Despite their scales and long tails, their physical appearance is always reminiscent of the Dragon's Empire.

However, they do not belong to the branch of the dragon, nor are they a subordinate race of the dragon.

They flourished at their peak, and today it is hard to imagine.

However, even now, they are able to face the natural oppression from the superior dragons and launch an attack, just like many of the beast races of the Berserk Empire.

This may be able to convince the Beast Empire that they were once its own vassals.

It's just that their appearance, one of the dragon's servant races, and the dragons and wurmians of the Dragon Empire, are really difficult to distinguish effectively enough.

It is only when one sees the scaly race with wings on its back that one can be sure that the creature is not a lizardman, but some kind of dragonman or wurmian.

Other times, they can easily be confused with kobolds.

And for the lizardmen, they themselves don't have a very good way to tell the difference.

Like many races in the Beast Empire, their power system is primitive and straightforward.

They devote all their energy to strengthening their bodies, strengthening their fangs and sharp teeth, and fighting against their enemies and prey in the most primitive and ferocious and savage fighting methods.

There are few breath powers, and there are very few special individuals capable of using spells, let alone hordes of spell-casting teams.

And now, the stone forest area occupied by the lizardfolk tribes of all sizes has been mixed in with an unfriendly outsider.

In this land bordering the territory of the Elven Kingdom, a plan has come to an end.

After nearly three years of consumption, the Earth Dragon Godia has completed its plan.

In the realm of dragons, the most common and powerful dragons are the most common, and to distinguish them, the characteristics of the body surface are naturally best distinguished.

From the color of the scales and the dragon's breath, it is possible to distinguish at least five dragon species.

A white dragon capable of spitting frost.

A red dragon capable of spitting flames.

A black dragon capable of spitting acid breath.

A green dragon capable of spewing poisonous mist.

A blue dragon capable of spitting lightning.

It is also often referred to as the five-colored dragon.

When it comes to snake dragons, wyverns, sea dragons, and earth dragons, they are often regarded as wurms rather than orthodox dragons by various races, even within the dragon empire.

Moreover, when it comes to earth dragons, they are considered to have no ability to fly, and are even confused with wurms and even dragon beasts like "earth dragons".

This is also the most resentful thing for the earth dragon Godia.

They are also dragons, and they are the most orthodox dragons, and the real name should be the leyline dragon.

Dragons who like to inhabit environments that correspond to their own elements.

And in the body of their leyline dragon, the surging special vitality comes from the combination of vitality and earth element.

It's just that different leyline dragons have different closeness to the leylines.

Some dragons will be called metal dragons.

Some dragons will be called gem dragons.

There are also leyline dragons who are close to the most common soil, sand and gravel, and even, like the lava dragon, the leyline dragon and the red dragon do not consider them to be the same kind.

After all, all dragons have an energy that, in addition to their life force, is internalized into their bodies, and this energy is mainly elemental.

Lava Dragon, is it close to the earth element or the fire element?

But this is not strange, for some outliers, lava dragons are considered ordinary.

After all, there are alien dragons that are close to the skeleton shelves in the Undead Wasteland.

And, for "Orthodoxy", they also have an opinion.

The earliest dragons were not called white dragons, red dragons, and blue dragons.

There were only four types of dragons.

Get up close and personal with the wind dragon of the Sky Storm.

A water dragon up close to the waves of the ocean.

An earth dragon close to the mountain veins.

Get up close and personal with the molten fire dragon.

Originally, there were only these four dragons in the world.

And then, he's not sure exactly what's going on, and this group of suspected mutants rises.

The blue dragon seems to have originated from the lightning-chasing creatures of the Wind Dragon.

The black dragon seems to have originated from the group of people in the water dragon who are wallowing in the mire.

The red dragon seems to have originated from the group of fire dragons who like to fight their prey directly.

The green dragons are even stranger, they don't know what they have encountered, they give up the elements and turn to the use of various toxins that target life.

And the strangest thing is the white dragon, this group of guys is very similar to the group of earth dragons who like ice cubes, that is, the leyline dragon.

But......

There are no memories that are born and engraved and inherited, but there are no relevant memories.

However, in the memory of inheritance, these guys have specific names-

Five-colored dragon.

Why is it called this name, is it just because of the color of the appearance?

Unlike other dragons, as a dragon, he didn't blindly trust the memories of his ancestors.

Times have changed, and what stupid thing would blindly trust such outdated memories.

The Dragon Empire has been established for thousands of years, inheriting the primitive and backward knowledge in memory, and I don't know how many dragons have been misled, making those young children as arrogant and arrogant as a group of fools.

He even wondered if it was a curse.

It's a special spell used by races like "Demons".

Or maybe it's knowledge captured from an alien plane like the Elemental Realm.

Among the leyline dragons, there is no shortage of such discussions.

Unfortunately, Godia was one of the supporters.

In addition, spells related to knowledge and memory, cognition and mind, including those related to contracts or enslavement and control of other races, have become research projects of the Dragon Empire.

Even those old antiques are thinking about how to improve the inheritance memory, add or subtract some knowledge, avoid some outdated knowledge from affecting the young dragons, and can be used to cultivate some high-level servants who can be used.

"Forget it, instead of thinking about it, let's end the mission quickly, I don't want to stay with those savage, backward and dirty lizardmen."

After expressing his dislike for the lizardmen, the earth dragon Godia's gaze turned to the tree wall to the northeast.

Use your own minions to start a war between the elves and these lizardmen.

How many leylines have been occupied by this group of annoying elves.

Thinking of this, he glanced again at the southeast, the swamp that was so wet and dead and barren that even the lizardmen did not want to go over.

Because it's a swamp, I've heard that there are still black dragons who have been there and used the power over there to cause a little trouble to the elves.

However, it was obviously a failure, and even when he heard that the black dragon had been killed, he didn't know which one it was, and he didn't care much about the black dragon.

I'm not so stupid, even if I want to provoke a war, I can't put myself on the table.

Although the hairless monkeys were not as ferocious as the wild monkeys on the side of the Beast Empire, they were not weak enough to deal with them alone.

PS: Again, don't put it into the background setting of DND or PF or even Warcraft.
