Chapter 113 Garus: No one understands dragons better than me

The silver moon of the goddess Sulun against the dark blue sky gradually faded, and the sun, representing light and life, slowly rose from the distant horizon.

With its body covered in wounds, Red Iron Dragon returned from the Quenching Highlands to the Needle Valley and landed on the ground.

"Garos?!"

Samantha and Vera exclaimed in unison, their eyes sweeping over the Red Iron Dragon's body and seeing the shocking wounds all over his body.

The bleeding had stopped, but the shattered dragon scales, broken horns, and unnaturally twisted claws all testified to the intensity of the previous battle.

"You're injured, seriously injured."

Both dragons were shocked, having never seen Garus so badly injured.

"This is a price we can afford."

Galos waved his hand dismissively and said.

His physique was stronger than that of ordinary dragons. What Samantha and Vera considered a serious injury was not quite severe on Garros, but it was close.

"Although the process was somewhat bumpy and difficult, I achieved final victory."

Galos took out the diamond core and displayed it to the two dragons.

He was a steady and reliable man, but winning the war and preserving his territory inevitably brought him joy and happiness, and he even had a little thought of showing off his spoils.

Galus also possesses the vanity typical of dragons.

However, in normal times, he would try his best to suppress these emotions.

At this moment, a ray of morning light shone on the conifer valley and also on the diamond core, coating the already sparkling diamond core with a layer of golden light, making it even more dazzling.

The fairy dragon and the red dragon were both stunned, gazing at the glittering treasure with fascination.

"it's beautiful."

The fairy dragon's heartfelt praise.

The red dragon seemed to have lost its mind, walking towards Garus like a puppet, reaching out its claws to grab him, but suddenly snapped out of its daze when it met Garus's eyes, and gave an embarrassed smile.

"My dear brother, let me touch it, just once."

Samantha pleaded.

Galos opened his mouth and swallowed the diamond core, storing it in his stomach cavity.

His gaze and mental state gradually returned to normal.

Samantha snapped out of her daze and her gaze fell once again on Garros's scarred body. Because she coveted the spoils of war, she said, "You should take me with you in the war against the stone giants. I am a powerful and noble red dragon, a born warrior."

“My claws can tear those stones apart.”

"If I were here, I guarantee you would win more easily."

Garros did not bring the red dragon with him during the attack on the stone giant camp; to be precise, he did not bring any of his followers or kin from the Tailwood Valley.

Galus's territory is no longer what it used to be.

They control more than one ranch, mine, and river resource point, and also control an entire trade route.

The problem is...

How to preserve them and continue to develop them.

Galos knew perfectly well that with the changing of the century and the passage of time, the era of giant creatures such as dragons and giants had long since ended, and now it was the era dominated by small and medium-sized creatures, such as humans and elves.

They are numerous, comprised of many strong individuals, and possess great creativity and growth potential.

Even dragons are mostly driven to remote places like wilderness or oceans to live and survive. What stands on the prosperous continent are human empires, elven empires, and dwarven empires, not dragon empires.

Dragons are like fallen 'nobles'.

Immersed in the glory of ancient times, recalling past triumphs, they still maintain an arrogant and conceited demeanor.

And this.

This is also one of the key factors that has made it difficult for dragons to rise again.

They fail to recognize the current situation and are arrogant and complacent.

If it were a red dragon like Samantha, after acquiring a territory the size of Garos is now, it would inevitably become extremely arrogant, walking with an air of self-importance, believing itself to be invincible, and then provoking a powerful being, leading to its own destruction.

Garus constantly struggles with the arrogance and conceit inherent in his dragon nature.

He knew very well that it was precisely at times like these that he couldn't afford to relax.

He is not so powerful that he can ignore risks and act recklessly.

Danger still lurks everywhere in the wilderness.

His territory may be thriving today, but tomorrow it may be targeted by greedy adult dragons or the Lor'then garrison, which sees dragons as targets for conquest, and fall into an extremely dangerous situation.

therefore.

He always left himself a way out.

For example, none of the members of the Ironclad Clan knew that there was a Garos clan in the Needle Valley, nor did they know Garos's daily whereabouts.

In the eyes of the Ironforge clan's retinue.

Galos is always elusive, his whereabouts are secretive and unpredictable, and it is unknown when he will suddenly appear.

If they inadvertently attract the attention of powerful enemies in the future, and the Ironclad Clan is attacked and investigated, they will still be unable to reveal Garros's true whereabouts, because they do not know where Garros is either.

"Samantha's red dragon bloodline is causing her to be unable to be content with a peaceful life, which is a hidden danger."

In the eyes of the red dragon, scars are a symbol of honor and glory. As Samantha grows, she craves battle and bloodshed more and more. Her usual games of manipulating ants are actually a way to satisfy this desire.

"Shall we expel Samantha?"

Galos shook his head slightly.

He was not an absolutely heartless dragon; after spending so many years together, they had developed some affection for each other.

More importantly, Samantha could refine black oil for him.

The black oil that Garros drank during battle was further refined by Samantha, making it of higher quality and allowing it to be converted into energy more quickly after being ingested.

There is an ogre alchemist in the Ironforge clan.

However, it can only create weapons and armor, and amplify and enhance them using alchemy.

Unless there are large alchemical golems, normal biological clans do not need black oil, and alchemists will not deliberately learn the skill of refining black oil.

To expel Samantha, Garus had to learn alchemy and refine black oil himself.

It's not impossible.

But such repetitive and tedious tasks will distract him from his time and energy.

The warlocks under his command lack the magical and learning talents to rival those of dragons, and cannot be relied upon in the short term.

Furthermore, we cannot allow the Red Dragon to become a hidden danger.

"Garos, I want to fight, I want to bleed, not just stay in the back with alchemy!"

Samantha complained.

Garos pondered for a moment, then looked at the red dragon and asked, "Samantha, do you like fighting?"

Flames spewed from the red dragon's nostrils, and it nodded without hesitation.

"For what?" Galos asked again.

Samantha thought for a moment, then said excitedly, "For glory! To make my name resound throughout the heavens!"

Red dragons are arrogant and haughty, with a strong sense of self-esteem and the strongest vanity among dragons. Samantha's answer was exactly what Garoth expected.

Galos blinked, then suddenly realized, "You mean, you want to gain a reputation that is known far and wide."

"Yes, Galos, you understand me very well."

Samantha said approvingly.

Of course, although I am not an evil dragon, I know the evil dragon Garus's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile as he said, "In that case, you should study alchemy rather than be obsessed with making a name for yourself through battle."

A look of suspicion appeared in Red Dragon's eyes.

"Garos, are you trying to fool me? I'm smart, intelligent, and have my own ideas. I won't fall for your tricks again."

It said.

Garros remained calm and asked, "Almost all red dragons are skilled in combat. Compared to other red dragons, what are your strengths? And how can you ensure that you can stand out among so many red dragons and be remembered and respected?"

Samantha opened her mouth, but was speechless.

"Yes, yes, Samantha, what are your strengths?"

The fairy dragon Vera chimed in from the side, asking curiously.

Galos stepped forward, patted the red dragon girl on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "My dear sister, your strength lies in your wisdom. You are the most intelligent red dragon I have ever met! Your talent in alchemy is astounding, and your wisdom is beyond my reach."

opposite.

With each word Garus spoke, Samantha would lift her head slightly, her tail swaying from side to side, the frequency increasing.
