Chapter Seventy-Seven: Final Negotiations
In order to reclaim the chief knight, the leader has gone to crusade against the dragon, and this news instantly plunged the town into panic after just a month.
Although everyone thought that there was no chance of victory in this matter, the lord's order was absolutely impossible for them to disobey.
The Guardian Dragon has become an enemy, something that has never happened in history.
If the Golem is a treasure for the army, then the dragon is a disaster for destroying the country.
The dragon had disappeared from the continent for many years, and few people had died under the dragon's claws, but this time the dragon was not far away, and now everyone in the mountains knew where it was hiding.
The woman who snatched the lord and stayed in a cave more than ten miles away in a big way, as if she was provoking the owner of the territory - people are here, what can you do?
Vincent didn't think that the thousands of skeletons, more than 500 militiamen, a team of cavalry, and orcs around him could defeat the dragon, but he really couldn't swallow it.
After sending an inexplicable sigh, he was quite unreasonable and started to rob people, this is not a silver dragon at all, but a brute dragon!
This brute dragon can't be cleaned up! I was busy suppressing bandits and grasping construction, and suddenly I was robbed by the evil dragon! Are there still gods? Is there still a law?
The territory doesn't need this kind of unreasonable evil animal to protect at all, or it has been fishing for many years, and it didn't protect anything in the first place, and now the lamb sent to the door hasn't played for a few days, and it has learned to rob men and women, and I don't know how much trouble it will cause in the future.
"The dragon's protection is not important to us, and the Herodians have not seen it fulfill its responsibilities when they came in!" Vincent said harshly to his subordinates, "Now, without it, it's important to me!"
Of course, Vincent also knew that in the face of the silver dragon, even if his army rushed in, it would be a matter of the dragon's breath.
At present, it is possible to destroy the silver dragon or expel it, mainly relying on biological weapons of the same level.
Grand Duke Xia De has a high status, and he will never easily dispatch the bone dragon because of the mere messenger magic, out of respect, it will take at least three days for Said, as a messenger, to arrive, and it will take a day for the rescue troops to rush to the Howling Mountains.
During this period of melancholy and madness, Vincent planned to get his army close to the Dragon's Lair first, and then negotiate to buy some time.
"My lord, this dragon will only be more angry and furious when it sees it, after all, it is all dug from the dragon's den...... Please," La Niña couldn't help but admonish Vincent, "The dragon has a long memory, knows how to deal with the bone dragon, and to defeat it by surprise, it will require new weapons you have invented, which should be shipped from the Silver Dragon Keep now."
"Do you know the striking resistance of the Silver Dragon's scales?" Vincent frowned and asked, "Also, do you know how much those things weigh?" Not counting the ammunition, more than 1,000 pounds, even if it can be disassembled, it won't be much lighter, how can you get it?"
"My lord, I've already calculated, and while it's almost impossible to transport it quickly by road, as you said before, there's a kind of transport called "strategic airlift," La Nina thought about it and showed perseverance, "One of our bone dragons can't defeat the real dragon, but we can fly our weapons over to deter the guardian dragons."
A sharp glint flashed in Vincent's eyes, but it was fleeting, and he finally shook his head in refusal.
"The weapon has not been tested enough, and it is not reliable enough to be used after disassembly......," he said regretfully, "and can you guarantee that I won't hurt my toys when I use them?"
"This ......," La Niña muttered, "Face Kill Weapons, like Area Kill Magic, can't accurately distinguish between friend and foe."
"Don't take any chances, both the Lich and the Shadow Fiend have detected signs of life in the Dragon's Lair, and the magic that summons the undead doesn't work, which means Ninia is still alive," Vincent said heavily, "I'm going to try one last time to solve the crisis in a way that doesn't exacerbate the conflict as much as possible."
While waiting for the Demon Clan's Great Killer, Vincent deployed his troops and walked alone in the direction of the Dragon's Lair.
This may not be accurate, as he always has a scythe lurking around him, which can provide him with reliable protection in critical moments.
The Dragon's Lair is located in the town
In a towering mountain peak in the south, in a southern territory, the top of the main peak will be covered with snow all year round, which can be described as dangerously high.
The Dragon's Lair is located in the middle of the mountain, which can be seen with a telescope from a long distance, Vincent has been walking for a long time, I don't know if he is depressed, or if he underestimates the distance, the mountain always seems to be close in front of him, but in fact it is far away.
Even if he was a tireless high-level demon, he walked for half a day before he approached the location of the dragon's lair.
In the evening, the wind howled wildly, mixed with the howls and wails of various beasts, came from all directions, and the silhouette of the mountain became huge and hideous in the afterglow of the dim sunset, like a huge gate covered with dried blood.
Vincent slowed slightly, and he used his elementary light magic to raise a ball of light to make his surroundings clearer.
In fact, as a Chaos Demon, he didn't care about the darkness, but he had a glimmer of expectation - maybe his toys could see this little light, and he would be a little more relieved?
But by the time Ninia saw it, the silver dragon must have known about it.
The silver dragon is not one of those wurms in vain, but a true dragon with both strength and mana, with a strong sense of life and magic, and Vincent is exposed to it the moment he steps into dragon territory.
Vincent acted cautiously and did not express any hostility until he found his target, not wanting to provoke the moody beast to be torn to shreds by his carelessness.
Ninia is no longer the little assassin she was at the beginning, and when she was stuffed into the Louis XVI Happy Table, Vincent's heart would not be shaken in the slightest.
Now, Ninia Wald still has a certain amount of weight in the prince's heart, but because of her identity and race, she is usually reluctant to express it.
If Ninia dies, she will come in vain, and then it will be a never-ending decisive battle with the silver dragon.
Beneath the majestic peaks, Vincent walked alone on the slopes, nothing could stop him, for everything had already been taken care of in advance.
The whole mountain has long been completely barren, the originally sunny slopes are not grassy, all kinds of craggy rocks are outside, and after the fire is burned, it has turned into an ugly black and brown, making the mountain look like a large fire scene in the near distance.
The slopes leading to the mountainside were littered with the mutilated bones of creatures, knee-thick over the years, some of which had been burned to ashes by the flames, blending into the dull mountain.
A huge natural cave looms halfway up the mountain, and the steam from it mixed with the smell of sulfur flows down the mountain like a cloud, and is still faintly visible at the foot of the mountain.
Until now, Vincent had not encountered any obstruction from the silver dragon, but this was understandable, how could he be placed in the eyes of the silver dragon?
The unbridled roar of the silver dragon echoed through the mountains, much to the point of Vincent's anxiety.
Is Ninia really alive?
