Chapter 36: Silver Tongue

The panel unfolded before Cassius.

[You use your words to break through the psychology of others and obtain the achievement [Smooth Talk]]

You are a rare glib person who relies on words as your greatest support. Your eloquence can make anyone go through fire and water for you. Your sophistry can cover up all crimes. Your words can confuse right and wrong and plunge the whole world into chaos.

【Suggestion】

2nd level enchantment spell

You magically influence a creature you can see within range and suggest some action to it (your suggestion must be made in a way that makes the action sound reasonable.

"It's a pretty good passive trait and can be of great use in certain situations."

This is Cassius's assessment.

Although it doesn't have much effect on combat, it still has a lot of skills and will come in handy one day, not to mention it comes with a very rare 2-level spell.

The sudden invasion of the Eagle Guards caused considerable losses to the Ember Nest, which was still in its infancy.

According to Rumple's statistics, a total of two flying dragons, seven ogres, eighty-six goblins, and ninety-five kobolds were killed. The injured were not counted. Even the Chimera was seriously injured and temporarily unable to fight.

And this also aroused Cassius's vigilance.

Goblins, kobolds and the like don't matter. If you work hard, hundreds of them will come out of the factory next year, and you will even have to find a place to severely consume the population.

But the loss of a powerful family member like the flying dragon with a long reproductive cycle made Cassius feel a little sad.

What's more, if he didn't come back in time this time, the losses would probably be far more than that.

This is not a good sign.

Yes, compared to the growth rate of Cassius’s strength, the quality of Ember Nest’s retinue has fallen behind. The result may be:

In the future, the red dragon has just started fighting, and before he can take a rest, his lair is destroyed by the enemy in one fell swoop.

Thinking of this, Cassius looked at the special ability "Bloodline Gift" on the panel.

【Bloodline Gift】

[You are a natural leader. You can influence the creatures within your territory with your powerful aura, and you can perform rituals with your own blood to create bloodline dependents. ]

[After the ceremony is completed, the oppression from the depths of their bloodline will make them completely surrender to you, and their descendants will become your eternal dependents. ]

"It seems like a good deal to consume a little blood and create a group of loyal and reliable dependents."

Cassius thought.

Thinking of this, Cassius let out a long and distant roar, signaling the various families to gather in the spacious part of the valley.

"Roar--"

This is the first large gathering of Ember Nest.

Red Dragon personally informed that something big seemed to have happened, and the leaders of each family clan paid special attention to it.

Rumple told the ogre to abide by the rules, Doro put on powerful leather armor, and wiped his scales with gold teeth. Even the flying dragon roared in a low voice, not knowing what they were communicating.

Suddenly, the entire Burning Ember Nest became lively. Only the necessary guards were left everywhere, and other families came out in full force.

Thousands of monsters of all kinds filled the entire valley. They were crowded, noisy, noisy, and even rubbed against each other - such as goblins and kobolds.

They are both numerous and weak races, and they are very difficult to deal with each other. The goblins thought they came earlier and were the veteran heroes of the Ember Nest, while the kobolds believed that they were closer to their masters and that the goblins were nothing more than cannon fodder.

"Goblin, get out of here!"

"This is our place!"

"You guys are late, so you have to stand in the back!"

A few slightly taller kobolds blocked the front and chattered.

The goblins were furious and wanted to squeeze out of the way, but the kobolds also swarmed forward.

"Go, stay out of our way!"

The goblins moved out of the way, and Doro, the leader of the great goblins behind them, spoke.

Several strong bugbear guards nearby stepped forward and kicked them a few meters away.

Although the status of ordinary goblins is low, the powerful strength and skill of hobgoblins and bugbears cannot be faked. They are also the leaders in charge of military and construction in the Burning Nest. Even the leader of the kobolds, Gold Tooth, is afraid of him.

Several kobolds saw this and left angrily, not daring to say anything.

The lizardmen arrived with their tribe.

There are more than fifty of them. They are much taller than kobolds and goblins. They are similar in size to humans. They look like a combination of an upright lizard and a crocodile. Most of them carry primitive wooden spears, carapace shields and other equipment. It can be seen that They appear to be quite powerful.

It's just that they entered the Burning Nest for the first time, and they didn't even have a stable place to stay, so they didn't dare to easily conflict with other tribes.

This is the tribe that the red dragons joined when they entered the underground, the "Black Fang" Lizardmen tribe.

They originally lived in abandoned caves, and they fled here because of the disaster of the Green-footed Dragon Snake. Since the red dragon went out, they were temporarily taken in by Lump who temporarily took over the nest at that time, so they have not yet been certified as a red dragon.

Their leader had not even formally met the red dragon, but had witnessed the red dragon's majestic appearance in battle, and since then he had also strengthened his determination to surrender.

The leader of the lizardmen was named Ake. Longfang, named after his dagger-like teeth.

He was different from ordinary lizardmen, with a strong and solid body more than two meters tall. There was a high fin on his head, with bright colors, like a crown, which was a manifestation of the power of the lizardmen and a tool to attract the opposite sex.

In his hand was a trident made of crocodile bones - a symbol of the leader of the tribe.

However, the lizardman leader seemed uneasy at this time, and he was not sure whether the powerful red dragon could accept him.

He subconsciously looked at the lizardman shaman Koda. Black Scale beside him. He was an old lizardman with a hunched body, slightly cloudy eyes, and a black scale on his chest.

"Koda, can we live here?"

The lizardman shaman did not answer, but smiled meaningfully and pointed behind him.

Several strong lizardmen were carrying several heavy boxes, and the guards next to them surrounded them.

A little golden light appeared in the gap between the boxes - they were filled with various gold objects, some of which were robbed from human caravans, and some were dug in caves, which were the savings of the Black Tooth Tribe for many years.

"You can always trust the greed of a red dragon."

The old shaman whispered an ancient proverb.
