At the thought of having the opportunity to make a move against the Ghost Woman of the Far Sea, Gaust couldn't help but get excited, and bowed to Simon to show his respect: "The wisdom of the lord of the castle is as deep as the night sky, and he can come up with such a plan to kill many birds with one stone, I am ready now, and I will take the opportunity to bring the entire goblin wasteland into the rule of our dark fortress." ”

"It's too early to say that, and we need to wait and see how the situation develops." As if he had done something insignificant, Simon waved his hand and said, "Before that, you just need to be well prepared." ”

"Understood." Gost replied loudly.

The Dark Keep's plan was based on the premise that the Sambian envoy Mikros could meet the Lizard Queen and convince her.

Simon did not have any worries about this matter, as a lobbyist, Mikros was definitely above the level, not only was he eloquent, but most importantly, he was proficient in the Sambian merchants' methods of taking money and smashing people, and many soldiers in the Dark Fort could not escape the erosion of this method, providing him with a lot of information of their own.

It's a pity that I have my own plan, so I wasn't moved by his lobbying.

The Lizard Queen is different, she doesn't have such a far-sighted and resistant, and she will definitely be crushed under his gold attack.

And so it is.

When Mikros knew that what he needed to convince was a greedy dragon, he didn't say a word, and directly from Sambia, he used the portal to mobilize a million golden Nobao over, and the box was wide open, and under the transportation of dozens of carts, he marched towards the Thun swamp, and he did not ignore Gost's advice, hunted a lot of prey along the way, and when he arrived at Thun Marsh, there were dozens of carts.

Just as Mikros expected, there was no need for him to ask for an audience, when the caravan he led arrived in the Thun swamp, there were already people waiting for them there, if they didn't even have this reflex ability, the lizard queen didn't even need to see him, even if he was willing to make a move, he would end up like the young red dragon Slaxata, becoming Gavin, and becoming part of the glorious record of the conqueror's army.

"I am the supreme ruler of the Thun Marshes, the co-lord of the lizardmen, the great god of the swamps, the Vizier Arha of Kurgol, stranger, please explain your intentions."

It was neither a human nor a lizardman who spoke, but a huge python, he had a colorful thick body, and his blue-gray back was covered with bright patterns like blood, just this made everyone who saw him creepy, the brighter the color of the long snake, the stronger the poison, this is a well-known thing, but such snakes, usually not very large, they use poison to protect themselves, and those pythons are usually not poisonous.

The one in front of me completely broke this, and its body length could not be fully assessed, at least above three meters, because when it was coiled, it was nearly a person taller, thicker than an adult's thighs, and its neck had the same folds as a cobra, which could easily be stretched to three times its width.

The most terrifying thing is that he does not have a snake head, but a face that resembles a human face, and what comes out of his mouth is a snake letter.

If it is an ordinary person, seeing such an existence, let alone talking back, it is estimated that he can be scared half to death, but Mikros is not an ordinary person, and he recognized the identity of this human face and snake body at a glance, this is a monster, named Naga, and the one in front of him should belong to the Dark Naga, also known as the Spirit Naga.

These monsters are said not to be born, but are immortal guards created by a humanoid race to protect their possessions and magical knowledge, the humanoid race that created the Naga has long been forgotten by history, but their work has survived, benefiting from their magical nature and can be resurrected indefinitely.

Seeing this spirit Naga named Alhashan, Mikros was not surprised, and couldn't help but increase his points for the expectations placed on the lizard queen who had never met, a black dragon who can use the quasi-legendary spirit Naga as a palace minister, the strength will definitely not be too weak.

Mikros said with the most respectful look and tone: "I have met Lord Alhashan, my name is Mikros Selkok, I am a businessman from Sambia, this is my gift to Her Majesty, I hope to have the opportunity to see Your Majesty's demeanor, I will have ten times the information of the present gift." ”

"Ten times the intelligence of the present gift." The eyes of the Spirit Naga flickered involuntarily, it was called the Greedy Light.

Just by the rut marks of these trucks, he could judge the value of these goods, at least more than a million, which is already able to top the lizard queen's small half of the dragon's nest treasure house, what is the concept of ten times this?

Enough to fill the Lizard Queen's three treasury and make it more powerful, although the dragon's power is not entirely derived from treasure, it is also closely related, and has a close connection that ordinary races cannot understand.

"Yes." Mikros said with a serious expression, "This matter should not have been hidden from Lord Al-Hashan, but the stakes are very high, and the wall has ears, so I can only state it in front of Her Majesty, in order to express my apologies, these three carts of gold coins are used as a meeting gift to your lordship." ”

"All the gifts here belong to the queen, how can they be passed on to others?" There was a chill in the screams of the spirit Naga.

Mikros was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered the dragon's temperament, their greed for wealth is endless, especially the colored dragon, the moment he brought the goods to Thun Swamp, he had already marked her label, and he was not qualified to move a penny, including taking away, let alone giving it to this spirit Naga.

After thinking about this matter, Mikros hurriedly bowed and said: "This matter is my mistake, please later, I will immediately have three carts of the same amount of gold coins come over." ”

He then turned his head and whispered to one of the mages in the convoy, and within a few minutes, three wagons full of gold coins appeared out of thin air not far from Mikros, apparently teleported directly from Sambia, which not only showed the importance that Sambia attached to Mikros and his party, but also showed his extraordinary wealth and strength.

The Spirit Naga nodded with satisfaction and said, "My wealth belongs to Her Majesty, transport them together to the Queen's Dragon's Lair, Gregory, you will take over next, Mr. Mikros, you come with me, I believe that Your Majesty will be very fond of seeing someone like you who brings her wealth." ”

With the order of the spirit Naga, the lush aquatic plants around him shook, and countless figures emerged from the swamp, and in the blink of an eye, the convoy brought by Mikros was surrounded in a solid circle.

The people surrounding their convoy are naturally not humans, but a kind of reptilian humanoids, their height is quite amazing, the average height is more than two meters seven, more than three meters abound, the muscles are highly developed, the deep sunken eye sockets and flat nose make its face like a skeleton, when it pays attention to you with orange eyes, it does not feel any emotion from it at all, but like a plate of dishes ready to be served to the table at any time, when the lizard-like mouth opens, the full mouth of fangs that are exposed is even more proof of this.

They are covered in black scales, and the top of their heads is not bare, but has a bulge similar to that of a fish's fins, except that it is made up of hard bone spurs and epithelium, which means that they cannot be tucked away like a fish's fins, and they have huge tails that are one and a half meters long, not so much dragon-like as crocodile-like.

There wasn't much armor on his body, only a leather straddle strap and a battle belt, on which he carried five or six spears that were paired with siege crossbows, and the weapons he carried were mostly war hammers, mostly carved from stone, but given their exaggerated size and the muscles of their wielders, they were definitely terrifyingly lethal.

Lizardmen, this is a group of lizardmen giants.

It's not that Mikros hasn't seen a lizardman before, but it's the first time he's seen such a tall lizardman.

Normally, lizardmen have white bellies, green dragon scales, red and yellow hair crowns, and are taller than ordinary people, but they are also relatively limited, generally about two meters.

It is not difficult to guess why these black-scaled lizardmen have a body shape that is very different from ordinary lizardmen, and the race that is claimed to be closest to the dragon is not kobolds, but lizardmen, they are born to speak dragon language, if there is no dragon in the environment they live in, they generally believe in primitive beliefs, with shamans as the supreme leader of the tribe, but once there is a dragon around, they will not hesitate to throw themselves into the arms of this dragon, and offer their own tribute to it to win the favor of the other party.

They don't have the mutability of kobold blood, but if they are mixed with the dragon bloodline, it will be different, this group of black-scaled lizardmen is more accurately called, it should be the black dragon dragon's blood lizardmen, and they are the royal court descendants of the lizard queen.

The leader named Gregory, who is particularly huge, has broken through four meters, and is eighty percent similar in appearance to the black-scaled lizardman, the biggest difference is that he has a pair of huge dragon wings stretched out behind his back, indicating that his blood is purer, and he is an out-and-out half-black dragon lizardman, and there are many such half-dragons, there are more than ten, as commanders mixed among these lizardmen.

Seeing these huge black-scaled lizardmen, Mikros's heart that had been hanging finally landed partially.

As I said before, what he is most worried about is not whether he can convince this black dragon, but whether she has the ability to eat it, or pose a deadly threat to the conqueror's army, their Goblin Legion and Goliath Legion, although the number is not large, but the surprise lethality caused on the battlefield is not small at all, especially the monster tribe whose morale itself is a mystery has a greater impact, it is easy to break through quickly, forming a sheep driving tactic, which leads to the collapse of the entire monster army.

With these huge black-scaled lizardmen, it is equivalent to having the capital to fight against these special forces, and their number is quite a lot, definitely not less than three hundred, which is twice the size of the conqueror's army.

The Thun swamp is tens of thousands of square kilometers, and it is absolutely impossible to breed such a small number of black-scaled lizardmen, either with more black-scaled lizardmen, or with ordinary lizardmen with a large population base, just like the goblin giants are to the goblin tribes on the Giant Plains, they are carefully selected elites.

Mikros soon realized that his guess was correct, and as the spirit Naga went deeper into the swamp of Thun, he encountered a large number of lizardmen along the way, these lizardmen were almost the same in appearance as the lizardmen he had seen before, except that they were much worse in size, and their average height was just over two meters, and even so, they were far stronger than ordinary lizardmen.

To make it easier to distinguish, these lizardfolk have their own special names.

Those lizardmen who are relatively ordinary in size are called black-scaled lizardmen, and the dragon-veined lizardmen with the size of giants are called evil-toothed lizardmen, named because they are far more massive than black-scaled lizardmen, and they are also their nickname, the evil tooth guard, which is responsible for guarding the lizard queen's safety and accepting her command.

The black dragon claims to be the lizard queen worthy of its name, and the entire Thun swamp is dominated by this kind of black-scaled lizardmen, even if he sees other intelligent races, it is not a separate tribe, but as a slave and servant of these black-scaled lizardmen tribes, the status is very low, and the situation is very miserable, it is obvious that there is a strict racial system here, of course, there are exceptions like the spirit Naga, but it is a very few.

There are no definite landmarks in the swamps of Thun, except for the low trees, the mud pools and the water plants that are more than a person tall, the scenery is the same, and the most annoying thing is the endless number of mosquitoes, even if Mikros has been prepared to wear a mosquito repellent amulet and shelter himself in an invisible barrier with a radius of three meters.

It's just that this invisible barrier is not completely isolated, it is only useful for those pests whose health is not one-third of their own professional level, and those whose health is greater than or equal to one-third of their own life dice, if their will is strong enough, they can pass through this invisible barrier, but they will suffer 2D6 damage and are very painful.

So, Mikros directly turned into a walking exterminator, crackling, walking everywhere full of mosquitoes who tried to pass through the invisible barrier, but were caught alive and dead.

But Mikros still didn't dare to be careless, it was only those ordinary mosquitoes that were caught and killed, those mosquitoes with the size of a palm, their vitality was much more tenacious, and many of them could resist the squeeze of invisible barriers, and they would not die.

However, such a mosquito was conspicuous enough, and before it could completely pass through the invisible barrier, it was stabbed to death by Mikros with a sword.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the number of mosquitoes is not very large, otherwise Mikros would have to quit.

This made him envious of the lizardmen, their innate scale armor is the deadly nemesis of these mosquitoes, except for those mosquitoes with amazing physique, the others can't bite their scale armor, and these large mosquitoes are estimated to have evolved against these scaly creatures.

But these lizardmen, who live here all year round, have already developed a special method to target these mosquitoes, and each wears a special insect repellent sac.

It wasn't until he passed by a tribe of black-scaled lizardmen that the spirit Naga ordered the black-scaled lizardmen to give Mikrus an insect repellent sac to save him from mosquitoes.

"I didn't expect to be able to see a real royal palace here, even if it is Cormier's Purple Dragon Palace, in front of this magnificent building, I would be ashamed." Mikros couldn't help but sigh heartily.

This black dragon's dedication and love for the throne is simply deep in the bones, the dragon nest she lives in is not the most common underground dragon nest of black dragons, deep into the deepest part of the quagmire, but a huge above-ground palace, made of the same obsidian as the dark castle, even if it is transported from the nearest Storm Point Mountains, this is also a huge project, don't forget, this is a muddy swamp that is difficult to move an inch, and the spirit Naga is going around here, making one kilometer become two or three kilometers.

A palace built with the size of a dragon is naturally extremely tall, even more than the giant palace, which is also the most fatal point, this is a swamp, even if it has been artificially reinforced, the overall foundation here is soft, which has caused this dragon palace to sink and deflect to a certain extent, this deflection can be distinguished by the naked eye.

"Hahaha...... My Lizard Court is really ...... Whew...... Already past Cormier's Purple Dragon Palace? Click...... Click...... Alhashan, what are you still stunned about? Hurry up and invite my guests in...... I think he heard him tell him more about the Purple Dragon Palace......"

A large, low, voice came from the deepest part of the dragon's palace, and as it spoke, it was accompanied by a variety of noises, ranging from heavy and uncanny gasps to the sound of chewing while eating, and the other party was talking while eating.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Spirit Naga replied respectfully, and although it was not loud, he was sure that the other party could hear it, and even see it.

Dragons have a powerful sense of sight and hearing, they can easily hear sounds from kilometers away, see the appearance of medium-sized creatures from kilometers away, and those who try to sneak up behind the dragons to carry out sneak attacks are the stupidest, and when he thinks he has succeeded, most of the dragons turn their heads to look at him with a playful face.

Click! Click! Click!

After entering the dragon palace, Mikros's ears reverberated with the sound of terrifying chewing, from the palace gate to the depths, all of them were those evil toothed lizardmen with the size of giants, but they were not acting as palace guards now, but food delivery personnel, the food they delivered was very tasty, whether it was fish, mollusks or other animal corpses, they were obviously salted in rotten water for a period of time, and they were covered with slippery and sticky substances, and the terrible smell emitted could be smelled even from a hundred meters away- You can imagine what the smell looks like when hundreds of canned herring bottles are opened at the same time.

However, there are not half insects and flies here, and the ubiquitous terror and coercion have made the surrounding kilometers a forbidden place for them.

All these foods were sent to the deepest part of the palace, next to the big mouth of the terrifying existence, a big fish more than two meters long, the other party didn't even chew it, and swallowed it directly into the stomach as soon as he raised his neck, only when there was a large food like a buffalo, it was worth chewing a few times, and those clicks were made by the bones of these creatures being crushed and cut off.
