Chapter Ninety-Three: The Town of Garas (Part I)
With the reference of the map, the two dragons flew in a straight line in the direction of the town of Garas.
Since the town of Garas is located on a prominent peninsula close to the Kurt Empire, Ember and Knight arrived at the location marked on the map in less than two days.
I have to say that Ember still has a strong ability to read the way, and he will never forget the road he has traveled for a long time, and he can find his destination just by looking at the landmarks on the map. Unlike some road idiots, they become headless flies when they go out.
Looking at the ruins of Garas Town, which was surrounded by water and mountains on three sides in the distance, Ember did not rush over.
The town looks deserted, many of the houses have collapsed and overgrown with weeds, and many of the rotten wood has scorched marks.
But there were still signs of human activity, the weeds along the roads in the town had been clearly cleared, there were several extinguished bonfires in the town, and the red dragon had even seen a few clothes hanging in a house with a collapsed roof.
But the town was surprisingly quiet, and there was not half a figure to be seen. Ember thought that it might be because they had already discovered themselves and that they were hiding.
"You stay here and wait for me, this town doesn't look so friendly. The red dragon patted the little black dragon next to him.
Seeing that the little black dragon nodded obediently, the red dragon flapped its wings and swooped towards that group.
"Boom. The red dragon's heavy body landed heavily at the entrance of the town, and when the ground calmed down, the town remained silent. So the red dragon narrowed his eyes, hung his neck, and stepped into the town.
The town is not big, it is estimated that it was less than a thousand people before it was destroyed, but the streets are still quite spacious, at least now that the red dragon has gathered its wings and walked in, it doesn't feel narrow at all.
The red dragon sniffed lightly at the smell of drifting in the air, and as expected, he smelled the smell of people, and it seemed that they would not come out on their own initiative now.
Considering that the town had been destroyed by the fire dragon before, it was not difficult to guess that the townsfolk who appeared in hiding were likely to be extremely hostile to him.
Therefore, half of the Red Dragon's attention is now on the lookout for a sneak attack that may appear at any time. However, Ember had a lot of confidence in its current strength, and it didn't think that these hidden townsfolk would pose any threat to it.
After all, his arrival was not done with malice.
"Click. Suddenly, a small sound reached the ears of the red dragon. The left eyeball slowly rolled to look at a large dense tree from which the voice came.
The tree was thicker than the thighs of the red dragon, and it was not difficult to hide a bunch of people in its lush branches. So the red dragon walked over to see if anyone was hiding inside.
Ember poked her head into the leaves, looked left and right for more than ten seconds, and finally saw a shivering little girl behind the main trunk.
The little girl looked to be in her early teens, but she was fully armed and dressed in leather armor. Seeing that she had been discovered, she trembled against the trunk of the tree, gritted her teeth and looked at the red dragon in horror.
Ember found that this girl's strength was weak, but it was only at the Black Iron level. The red dragon was about to say something, but suddenly pulled away from the tree, because it heard all kinds of noises suddenly sounding around it, and it must be the people in ambush around him who started to act!
As soon as the red dragon pulled his head out, he saw a large net falling from the sky, and immediately covered the dragon's head with a strong cover. The red dragon immediately wanted to get rid of the net, but the next moment several ropes with heavy objects tied to the two ends flew rapidly, hit the dragon's head and immediately turned around a few times to entangle the big net.
"What the hell......" Ember was a little dazed by the inexplicable attack, and quickly stood upright, trying to rip the rope net off his head with his front paws.
As soon as he ripped off a rope, the red dragon suddenly felt the ground under his left foot go soft, and then stepped on the empty foot and the whole dragon fell to the ground.
Sight was blocked, but hearing was not affected, and when the red dragon was about to get up, he heard hurried footsteps around him, and then he felt that he was being attacked!
After a "clanging" sound of gold and iron, the slashing of several knives and axes was all blocked by the invincible dragon scales. At the same time, both of the red dragon's claws grabbed the net wrapped around its head, and with a single pull, it was torn to pieces!
"Roar!" the red dragon roared and stood up, but there was no anger in his heart, because the strength of these attackers was really weak, and they didn't break their defenses even after slashing dozens of times.
"Stop, I have no intention of making enemies with you!" Ember said in a deep voice in a common language, turning his head to look at the few people who were still struggling to slash their legs, and found that they only had silver-level strength.
Those people were not stupid, and when they saw that they had done useless work, they quickly put away their weapons, scattered and quickly disappeared behind the house.
"......" The red dragon was a little speechless, didn't these people understand their own words, Ember asked himself if his temper was already very good, and he was cut on his head and covered his face for no reason, and then he fell and didn't get angry.
Thinking of falling, the red dragon looked down at the place where he had just fallen, only to see that there was only a lid-like part left there, which seemed to be the remnant of the trap that caused him to fall.
But now is not the time to study this, seeing that those people are hiding, Ember doesn't bother to look for it, and quickly catches the little girl hiding in the tree with his reflexive claws.
Caught in the hands of the dragon, the little girl suddenly burst into tears. Ember felt that she must be an important person, and was not afraid that those people would continue to hide.
Sure enough, a few people soon jumped out, brandishing their weapons and shouting, "Evil dragon, let her go!
"I was already good-looking. Ember whispered, then gently lowered the little girl to the ground, "Now, can we talk?"
Suddenly, a figure shot over, rushed to the feet of the red dragon and picked up the little girl who was still at a loss, and then quickly ran back to the other few people.
Ember didn't stop the man, as he was still fast, and the consequences of stopping him would likely kill him.
"Dragon, tell me what you mean!" an old man stepped forward, presumably the leader.
"I'm here to investigate the cause of the disaster that happened in your town many years ago. The red dragon said calmly.
"Isn't it because the evil dragon is ferocious by nature, and it still needs a reason to slaughter the city?" said one of the people next to him angrily.
The red dragon glanced at him, and then said to the old man, "I sympathize with your plight, so I came with kindness. ”
The old man looked at the red dragon fixedly for more than ten seconds, and then raised his hand and pressed the weapon of the person next to him: "Put away the weapon, it seems that this red dragon is here with sincerity." ”
The anger of everyone at the beginning had gradually subsided, and after listening to the old man's words, they all took back the weapons pointed at the red dragon, but the eyes that looked at the red dragon were still a little angry.
"What do you want to know, dragon?" the old man asked, taking a few steps forward.
Ember organized his words, and was about to speak when a mutation struck.
A bowstring rang out on the bell tower not far away, and a long black arrow with a sound of breaking through the air took the red dragon's right eye!
