In the town of Andy, in a house that has been uninhabited for a long time, four figures gather and exchange the information they have gathered.
As a dragon-hunting team, they faced the dragons, the most powerful race on the continent. Failure was common, but they had to learn how to learn from their failures.
The previous hunt failed because they hadn't gathered enough information and weren't prepared enough, so this time they were much more cautious.
Even if the opponent is just a young dragon!
"Let's each report the information we've gathered!"
A muscular man, over three meters tall and clad in heavy armor, spoke up and began to preside over the meeting!
"I'll go first!"
The shadow mage, hidden beneath a black cloak, spoke, his androgynous voice reaching everyone's ears:
"The dragon appeared two months ago, abducted a princess from the Duchy of Carter, and then occupied the territory of Lannick, which is the Dragon Territory where we are now."
"Two battles took place in the past two months. The first one was led by an unknown person, and five territories launched a joint attack in the name of the king."
"They were defeated by several of the dragon's minions!"
"The second campaign of the eighteen lords against the dragon had already reached the dragon's manor, but the dragon turned the tables and cut off their retreat. They threatened to retreat with the lives of their entire families, and then swallowed up two more territories!"
The man in the black cloak revealed what he had learned and then fell silent.
"I know about the same thing, but I did find out that the dragon now has two high-ranking knights under its command, and they're a pair of shameless lovers. They're a disgrace to humanity!"
The burly man put on his clothes at this moment. He had been speaking very seriously at first, but later he began to mutter to himself.
"Two high-ranking knights are nothing to worry about. We should be thinking about how to lure that dragon out!"
The heavily armored man spoke in a deep voice, showing no concern for the two high-ranking knights.
High-ranking knights are still considered beginners among knights, while honorable knights have already reached the intermediate level.
The eight honor attributes are the eight minor realms belonging to the Honor Knight.
Each breakthrough in a minor realm allows for a transformation of battle qi, granting different attributes.
Different attributes can be attached, or they can be stacked on the same attribute.
A Glory Knight who has undergone a transformation in battle aura possesses combat power that completely overwhelms a High Knight.
It's understandable that the four people in the arena didn't take the high-ranking knights seriously.
"If we want to lure out that dragon, some information I've gathered might be helpful!"
The elderly alchemist, who had barely spoken among the four, suddenly spoke up:
"I heard that the original lord of the Rannick territory was not killed by the dragon, but was spared. Perhaps we can make use of him!"
Three pairs of eyes flickered, but the burly man seemed a little confused: "How can we use him? What use is that kind of trash?"
"Create some news that will interest the dragon, and have that person deliver it to the dragon to lure it out!"
The heavily armored knight spoke in a deep voice.
"It might not be possible to lure the dragon out directly. If it's someone else that's lured out, we can just capture them and wait for the dragon to come and rescue them."
The figure beneath the black conical hat added to the story.
“I can create a few alchemical birds to deliver a message and lure that little Rangnick out.”
"If we offer to restore his territory and his status as lord, I'm not afraid he won't agree."
The old alchemist made the suggestion.
With a start in place, the rest of the plan went smoothly. The three of them filled in some gaps in the plan and then went about their respective tasks.
The burly man was left completely bewildered. He touched the two iron hammers beside him and felt somewhat relieved.
But he still couldn't help feeling a little frustrated, because every time he encountered this situation, he felt like an outsider.
I really don't understand why these guys always have to plan things out before they take action. It would be so much more satisfying to just storm their door.
...
"Clean this area up, and move these stones over here..."
As he directed his servants to clean the yard, it was only at these moments that he felt a sense of purpose.
Two months ago, he was a noble lord, but now he could only watch his servants sweep the yard. The resentment and unwillingness in his heart were indescribable.
But when he thought of the dragon's power and achievements, the deep sense of powerlessness almost made him breathless.
He had once dreamed of enduring hardship and reclaiming his territory, but now he could only find a sense of purpose in these servants.
beep!
Suddenly, he felt something fall on his head. Somewhat annoyed, he reached out to grab it, and his hand was covered in grayish-brown substance with a faint odor.
Rannick was startled and quickly looked up. He saw a small gray-white bird flapping its wings and circling above his head.
So it goes without saying what he has in his hand!
After a brief silence, Rangnick nearly went berserk. He grabbed a pebble from the ground, his fighting spirit surging, and hurled it in quick succession.
With his strength and the aid of his battle aura, those pebbles were faster than lightning, capable of breaking bones when they hit a person.
But the little gray bird was clearly extraordinary; it easily dodged the attack with a flap of its wings, letting out a mocking chirp.
Rannick was furious, wishing he could grow wings and fly up to kill the bird.
But soon the little bird flapped its wings, and another ball of something fell down.
This time, Rangnick was very agile, dodging the falling object with a nimble movement, but when he saw what was falling, he was stunned again.
It wasn't dark brown bird droppings, but a roll of paper.
This is for myself!
Rannick quickly realized this, so he grabbed the roll of paper without hesitation, while looking around warily.
The servants were all busy, and although some noticed him, no one saw him take the paper roll.
Seeing this, he breathed a sigh of relief, walked to a more secluded place, opened the scroll, and the contents inside left him with mixed feelings.
The letter instructed him to go to a small grove outside the manor, without providing much other information. However, he could guess that it was related to the giant dragon!
Thinking about all this, he was conflicted; the person who delivered the message was definitely going to cooperate with him.
The target is probably that giant dragon, which is a good thing for him, but he is also worried about getting too involved.
After all, given the current situation, he can't afford to offend either side.
After much deliberation, Rannick finally decided to go. In any case, this might be his only chance to kill the dragon.
After instructing his servants to work diligently, young Rannick hurriedly left the manor.
When he arrived at the grove, young Lannick immediately saw four figures.
