Martin signaled Roga to activate the magic map, and in an instant, a virtual map slowly appeared in front of everyone.
Martin fixed his gaze on the area marked with the ancient magic circle on the map. He raised his finger and pointed, then said to Betan sternly, "Betan, you must go here immediately and eliminate the ancient magic circle and the four sky warriors within it."
"Once you're done, stay where you are and wait for orders. Be wary of the Dwarf Kingdom sending legendary warriors to reinforce you. If you encounter an enemy, fight if you can. If you're outnumbered, retreat immediately. Don't act recklessly and never take it lightly."
Upon hearing this, Betan's expression changed, and he took the order and left without hesitation.
Martin then turned his gaze to Lorgar and said, "You will lead five knights to the border of the Dwarf Kingdom. Your main mission here is to capture dwarves as slaves and sign slave contracts with them."
Luo Jia nodded in agreement and left quickly after receiving the order.
After arranging Luo Jia's mission, Martin looked at Long Yi and Long Er and made arrangements in an orderly manner: "Long Yi, you will follow Luo Jia's army and keep an eye on your surroundings to prevent the legendary dwarves from attacking them."
"Long Er, just keep pushing forward. Don't worry about the captives and treasure. Push forward with all your might. But be careful, stop when you reach the border of the Dwarf Kingdom and wait for the main force to join you."
Upon hearing this, the two dragon men responded in unison, then each of them cut through a crack in space, instantly disappearing from everyone's sight and rushing to their respective mission locations.
At this moment, Martin's communication crystal suddenly lit up. He took it out and saw that the caller was Duke Merlin.
After quickly answering the call, he heard Duke Merlin say anxiously, "Martin, the current situation is extremely bad. I'm thinking of asking you to take Jovian over."
Martin's heart tightened, and he asked hurriedly: "Duke Merlin, what happened?"
Duke Merlin spoke slowly and solemnly, "Martin, I seriously suspect that the Charlemagne royal family is secretly colluding with the dark creatures. Just the day before yesterday, the Dante Kingdom's legions and high-end combat forces were completely annihilated."
"You're well aware that most of the kingdom's major guilds are perfunctory and underperforming. Under normal circumstances, who would have the ability to annihilate the Dante Kingdom's legions and high-end combat power in one fell swoop?"
"According to the news from the front, there are no enemy bodies on the battlefield. There is no trace of the blood that should have flowed from the battle between the two sides. Moreover, many of the corpses appear to have been violently torn apart or gnawed to death."
When Martin heard this, his expression instantly became serious.
He was not completely ignorant of the dark creatures, as there were relevant records in the castle library.
But, weren’t all the dark creatures driven to the northern continent?
How could it be that no one noticed when such a large-scale appearance occurred in the Western Continent?
Moreover, Dragon Island is right between the Western Continent and the Northern Continent. Would the dragon clan be so easy to talk to?
Martin thought for a moment, then said, "Duke Merlin, do you need me to send some people to support you?"
Upon hearing this, Duke Merlin couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Why, Martin, do you underestimate my Merlin family? My Merlin family has existed since the founding of the Kingdom of Charlemagne."
"Although the family's power has declined, its foundation is still strong and it is more than enough to deal with this situation. You, in the near future, just take Qiao Wei'an over."
Martin heard the determination in Duke Merlin's tone, so he stopped insisting and said, "Duke Merlin, once I completely recapture the western border in the next few days, I will immediately send someone to pick up Qiao Wei'an."
After hearing Martin's plan, Duke Merlin couldn't help but frown and said, "Are you planning to recapture the Dwarf Kingdom's territory as well?"
"Martin, I must tell you clearly that other kingdoms are not as vulnerable as Charlemagne's. The reason Charlemagne is so weak is because its foundation is in a small secret realm. We four families jointly plotted against it, resulting in heavy casualties."
After thinking for a moment, Martin responded frankly, "Right now, I just want to take back the Western Territory. As for the other places, with my current strength, I can't hold them even if you give them to me."
Seeing that Martin had made up his mind, Duke Merlin could not persuade him no matter what. He sighed helplessly and advised: "Since you have made up your mind, you must be more careful in your actions. The Dwarf Kingdom is by no means a pushover, so don't take it lightly." After that, he hung up the phone.
Martin looked at the communication crystal that had ended the call, flipped through it, and found that King Charlemagne's previous message mentioning the support conditions had not yet been responded to.
Thinking about the conversation he had just had with Duke Merlin, Martin thought to himself that King Charlemagne was most likely colluding with the dark creatures, just as Duke Merlin suspected.
Martin stopped worrying about the affairs of Charlemagne's royal family and instead focused his attention on the battlefield in the west.
Although Duke Merlin reminded him, Martin did not take the dragon knight's deterrent power too seriously.
However, it was because of Martin's carelessness that the dragon knight Betan and the dragon man almost suffered defeat.
In the Dwarf Kingdom, when the King of Gondor learned about it, he immediately flew into a rage and urgently dispatched the kingdom's most powerful warriors, five legendary warriors.
After successfully destroying the evil ancient magic circle, the dragon knight Betan stayed on standby as instructed.
To his surprise, there was only one dwarf coming.
However, this dwarf should not be underestimated. He was wearing armor made of dragon scales and holding a spear made of dragon teeth.
Betan didn't take it too seriously at first, but the wind dragon under him saw a completely different scene: the dwarf was surrounded by the soul curses of seven or eight giant dragons. The eerie and terrifying aura made the wind dragon tremble with fear.
