Chapter 567 418 Red and Black Wave
Dragon Castle is different from the continuous gray mountains. It is an independent peak located on the edge of the gray mountains, but it belongs to the gray mountains geographically. The entire mountain is majestic and precipitous, and its foot is surrounded by the sparkling Bogen River. It looks like a sleeping dragon lying on the Wobergand hills. The human residents of North Wobergland can see it just by raising their heads. .
Because the shape of the mountain resembles a dragon, and there is a real dragon on the top of the mountain, the mountain is called Dragon Castle by the humans of Wobergland and the dwarves of the Gray Mountains. The vertical cliffs of Dragon Castle are like the scales of a newly awakened dragon, carved with knives and axes, carving out endless cliffs. The foot of the mountain is like a dragon's tail, winding and full of unknown dangers. The mountain is covered with a thin layer of topsoil, like the dragon scales of a dragon castle. Although it is thin, it hides endless temptations and dangers.
As Darkus climbed, he often saw larger caves that were once home to cockatrices, wyverns, and manticores. These caves were now empty. Those monsters that are extremely difficult for humans to deal with usually have no choice but to run away or become a meal when faced with the giant dragon at the top of the biological chain.
Climbing Longbao is a difficult challenge. The land covering the surface of the mountain is loose, as if it is a thin veil, hiding the mysterious face of Longbao. In addition to the steep cliffs, the ridge of Dragon Castle is also dotted with jagged rocks, like the sharp teeth of a dragon, ready to tear apart any challenger. And it's still winter, but the good news is that there are no avalanches. With the appearance of a large number of giant dragons, all the snow in Dragon Castle has collapsed under the shock of the dragon's roar.
In Darkus' view, the intensity of climbing Longbao is too great. It is no longer something ordinary climbers and travel enthusiasts can handle. It requires rock climbers with professional equipment and skills to handle it. However, it is also extremely difficult for rock climbers to climb the Dragon Castle, but it does not prevent them from seeking death one after another. After all, the temptation of slaying dragons and dragon treasures is too great, and some people almost succeeded before. .
Darkus previously thought that Dragon Castle was inhabited by Caleder, the "Scythe of Fire", but it turned out that it was not the case. In addition to Caleder, Dragon Castle also housed Caleder's spouse, who suffered a severe heart injury. The male dragon Ashdalon. He thinks that these two couples are a bit like True Blood, and they can fight for it. After all, there are so many high-level spellcasters on his side, so they should be able to cure Ashdalon's trauma?
"What a great place, so fat."
Darkus, who was climbing the mountain, turned his head and looked at the Wobergland hills in the distance. The important towns of Wobergland such as Borghamn, Ulborik, Stimigan, and Dunkelberg all appeared in his field of vision. , he could even see the looming Nunn.
It is said to be hilly, but in Darkus' view, the long and narrow Wobergland is no different from the plains. As far as the eye can see, there are either villages, farms or pastures. Altdorf is the pearl of Reikland, and so is Wobergland. The two places are separated by Reikwald and Siegputz, but connected by rivers like blood vessels, Reikland becomes a whole. , supported the prosperity of Rickland and made Rickland the pearl of the empire.
But that's all. Wobergland, sandwiched between the Gray Mountains and Reikwald, is only so big. River transportation is not as fast as rail transportation, let alone next-day delivery. And politically, these fertile lands belonged to various lords. The obstacles of Reikwald and Sigputz prevented Altdorf from completely controlling this place, so he could only adopt a compromise method of enfeoffment. These lords went their own ways and could not unite together. Sometimes they would even fight with each other.
Exploding troops, exploding the population, and twisting them into a rope is nothing more than a dream, but in Darkus' view, this is a good thing. An empire that is half-dead and needs blood transfusions meets his political requirements. A powerful empire will keep him awake all night. .
After sighing, Darkus no longer looked at Wobergland in the distance, but looked at Vyborg, which was close at hand.
Vyborg is located between Helmgar and Borg Harbor and is an extremely important strategic pivot. Viborg, which is close to Helmgar, can ensure the smooth passage of Rick's army heading to the Gray Mountains. There is a large number of barracks in the town to facilitate the movement of troops.
In addition to its military role, Vyborg is also a popular tourist destination in Reichland. Traveling and moving around in the old world is not an easy task, especially here in the Gray Mountains. The continuous mountains make the weather extreme and erratic, not to mention the raging greenskins and beastmen. Lucky travelers You can also encounter some human bandits, and if you are lucky, you can also encounter all kinds of weird monsters.
Visitors to Viborg often come with a strong desire to celebrate survival, and the humans of Viborg are renowned for their hospitality, with the locals widely regarded as the friendliest people in Reikland. In order to meet the needs of tourists, the streets are lined with taverns, hotels and casinos, not to mention places that can provide passion and vent their desires. In addition to these, tourists in need can also have a drink.
Spending a happy time in Vyborg before marriage has become a rite of passage for wealthy Reich people. What happens in Vyborg, let it stay in Vyborg. This is our youth...
Darkus went out to do a travel guide, and he knew a little about Vyborg.
However, Dacus did not look at Vyborg from the perspective of a tourist, but from other aspects. He did not see any signs of destruction in Vyborg. The lack of destruction seemed to indicate that there was a certain order within the red dragons, and there should be a powerful being suppressing and deterring them. He did not believe that Springtwin would tell the red dragons not to destroy human towns when they came. Doesn't Springtwin have any face? How can he be a dragon after saying this? Aren't you afraid of making the red dragons laugh?
Order is a good thing. What Dacus is worried about is the messy and disorderly state. If that is the case, there is no room for negotiation, and there is a high probability that they will fight.
"My Lord?"
Franais's gentle questioning awakened Dacus. He did not say anything, but stepped directly into the door.
Many races in this world have climber attributes, such as dwarves who walk in the mountains as if walking on flat ground, northerners living in the mountains of Norsca, ogres living in the Mountains of Sorrow, and so on. Due to the existence of the crater in Ulthuan, a small number of elves who rely on the mountains for their livelihood have become climbers, and the shadows of Naggaroth are even better at climbing.
However, there is no such player in the team, but climbing Dragon Castle is not a problem for Daquus.
This world has magic. In addition to physical climbers, there are also magic climbers, and shadow spells are very suitable for climbing. What Daquus's team lacks the most is shadow casters. Colonia, Drusala, Asanok, Alatar and Liv are all outstanding, and there is also a half-baked Beloda.
Daquus did not bring too many elves, but he also brought a lot of elves. Except for the core layer, the rest were selected by drawing lots. The total number of Druki and Enil added up to 100. Because there were only so many temporary magic props prepared along the way, these selectors wearing many magic props had to act according to circumstances in addition to seeing the world and watching the excitement, mainly to buy time...
No one knew whether there would be a fight, and Dacus didn't know whether that person would cause trouble. In his opinion, this time point was really too good, and it would be a waste if he didn't do something. If it wasn't for the first meeting to show friendship, he would even let the selectors carry the harvester crossbow up.
After Dacus passed through the door, he walked forward a few steps and stepped into the next door. These doors were made by shadow casters to connect to the safe place of the mountain. The elves were like constantly teleporting, climbing to the top of the Dragon Castle as if they had turned on the infinite flashing plug-in.
The entire climbing team was like a huge stone or heavy war equipment, and these doors were the rolling logs under the stone, and the rolling logs kept rotating to push the boulder slowly forward.
"I have been walking on thin ice all my life. Do you think I can reach the other side?" Dacus, who came out of the door again, murmured in a low voice, and then continued, "Yes! Because I have already arrived..."
"Wow!" Dacus, who had just finished entertaining himself, couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the scene in front of him. Even though he was mentally prepared, his eyes widened uncontrollably at that moment. He has been walking on thin ice all his life. He has been in and out of Isil and talked and laughed with Tzeentch. What scenes have he not seen? But the scene in front of him was really something he had never seen before. It was too terrible and too scary.
Dragons, dragons, dragons, nothing but dragons. When Dacus appeared from the door, the giant dragons present turned their heads to look at him. The gaze and pressure were about to turn into a solid substance and swept towards him, as if the whole world was exerting huge pressure on him. An indescribable sense of oppression surged in his heart, but he still tried to remain calm and resolute. At this moment, he was like passing some kind of test and finally exempted.
Dacus knew that as the next protagonist, he had to face these dragons directly. He could not show weakness, retreat, or even coward, but it was really difficult. This was just him. If it were someone else, they would probably be lying down and foaming at the mouth. He took a deep breath to keep himself calm and composed, then straightened his body and prepared to face this unprecedented challenge.
So, Dacus stood there, staring at the dragons in the distance, his eyes firm and deep, but at this moment, he seemed to have forgotten something...
"This? This..." The second Maranul who appeared from the door subconsciously took a step forward, and this step almost hit Daanul standing in front of him, and then he stared at the unbelievable scene in front of him in amazement.
Maranul's eyes were red and black, and his vision was filled with countless red dragons. These red dragons were like a red and black wave, surging and filling the top of the entire Dragon Castle.
These red dragons were huge and majestic, their postures were solemn and majestic, and their dragon breath was hot. Each one showed a unique aura. Some red dragons spread their wings, covering the sky, as if they wanted to control the whole world under their wings. Some red dragons stood on the ground, their bodies towering into the clouds, exuding a shocking majesty. And some red dragons soared in the sky, like red lightning, cutting through the clear sky in the morning.
The red and black scales of the red dragons flashed with blazing light, and their eyes burned with a blazing light, as if they wanted to burn everything. After seeing the appearance of Daquus, their demonstrative dragon roars were as shocking as a landslide, echoing in the air throughout the morning. At this moment, it seemed that the whole of Wobergland and the whole of Rick County could hear the roar of the red dragons.
"This is too risky!" Selire, who did not go up the mountain to command the troops, held up a monocular telescope and sighed as he looked at the top of the Dragon Castle. He only saw countless wings flapping in the sky and the team climbing up. Even though he was in a place with a poor view and could not see more, he knew that there were many dragons on the top of the Dragon Castle.
In Selire's cognition, the last time such a scene appeared should be when the Great Vortex was established? Before that, it was the Battle of Keslin Canyon during the Great Invasion, when Aenarion fired the first shot against Chaos.
"Is it as dangerous as last time?" Shakara, who was standing next to Selire, responded nonchalantly.
"Yes, the last time was the most dangerous time I have ever experienced, no one else!" While handing the telescope to Shakara, Selire echoed in a solemn tone.
On the other side, the residents of Vyborg finally realized what happened at dawn. Daytime is not a dark night. They saw such a dragon for the first time. They were no longer hospitable. They abandoned everything and walked towards Rickwald in a scattered order. Rickwald was dangerous, but it was insignificant compared to the current situation in Dragon Castle. They didn't even dare to look back when they heard the dragons roaring in unison. Their messy steps became faster.
Maranul, who was still standing there, felt an indescribable shock. In such a spectacular and visually impactful scene, he felt his own insignificance and insignificance. He could deeply feel the power of the red dragon.
"Are you okay?" Dacus, who was covering his ears, turned his head and shouted loudly to Maranul.
At this time, Maranul's heart was filled with a strong fear and uneasiness. His body trembled slightly. Although there were countless fears in his heart, he tried to stay calm. He knew that he couldn't show weakness at this moment. He had to stay calm and strong, otherwise he would be in trouble. He smiled bitterly after seeing Dacus's eyes, and then shook his head.
"Then don't block the road!"
"Aren't you the one blocking the road?" Maranul nodded, and then he was suddenly stunned. However, before he could say this, his brother who took the initiative had turned his head and walked towards the location where the dragons were gathered. After shaking his head helplessly, he also followed his brother's steps. He looked at his brother's back and felt that his heart became calmer and more determined.
"Huangqi!" The third elf who appeared was Ren. Even though he was fully prepared mentally with the flag, he was still stunned at this moment. He had never seen such a scene. However, before he could have any thoughts, he was pushed hard by his brother who was also holding a flag and could not move forward or backward in the door.
Darkus felt that the situation seemed a little bad while walking? In addition to the familiar Malok, there were actually two red dragons of the same size as Malok. From the eye contact, he could feel that these two were definitely not easy to deal with, and these two had formed a subtle confrontation with Malok. He felt a little presumptuous, but the situation was already like this, so he could only bite the bullet and move forward.
"Good morning, everyone..." (End of this chapter)
