Chapter 187 Expanding Ambition
"Sixth brother?"
Deborah, the crimson silver dragon, was not satisfied with this order. Her gaze swept over the kitten-like little creature, and taking advantage of its unpreparedness, she blew a breath at it.
Watching the fairy dragon stagger around in the whirlwind-like aura, the crimson-silver dragon narrowed its eyes contentedly and said, "Little one, I should be second. Only Garos here can surpass me."
The arrogance of the metal hybrid dragon boiled in its blood.
The Crimson Silver Dragon Deborah could allow Garros to suppress her, after all, she had lost to Garros more than once.
But other dragons are ranked above her? She couldn't accept that.
The fairy dragon flapped its butterfly-like wings and spun around several times before finally regaining its balance.
“I have a name, you can call me Vera.”
"As for the order, it's arranged according to the sequence."
She was playful and didn't get angry, giggling as she counted on her fingers, "Boss Galos, Samantha is second, and I'm third."
"You arrived last, so you're sixth."
The crimson-silver dragon glanced at the white dragon, who was gorging itself on the other side: "You mean, even the white dragon can be ahead of me in line?"
The fairy dragon blinked.
She pondered for a moment and said:
"Therese is fifth, but she is Garros's 'captive'. She was defeated by Garros and is now working for him to pay off his debts. She is not a true member of Dragon Valley."
Looking up at the Crimson Silver Dragon, the Fairy Dragon said in an encouraging tone:
"Strictly speaking, you should be fifth! You've moved up a rank, aren't you happy?"
The Crimson Silver Dragon was speechless.
She turned her head away indifferently, not wanting to get entangled with the fairy dragon on this topic.
This childish sorting is clearly just the fairy dragon's self-entertainment and is not worth taking seriously at all.
At this moment.
Red dragon Samantha and white dragon Therese finished eating and went to where Garus was.
The two evil dragons stared at the metal dragon at the same time, their gazes not friendly.
Among the five dragons, the red dragon and the silver dragon have always been rivals. Given the chance, the powerful and evil red dragon would love to enslave the silver dragon and repeatedly humiliate it.
As for the White Dragon.
Both the White Dragon and the Silver Dragon are of the cold element and prefer similar environments to live in. They often clash, and the result is predictable: the White Dragon usually ends up fleeing in defeat.
The aura of a silver dragon emanating from the Crimson Silver Dragon.
This displeased both Samantha and Theresa.
However, Samantha had learned from her previous experience that it was best to keep her claws hidden when she was weak, so she did not utter any arrogant words or provoke or insult the Crimson Silver Dragon.
Therese adhered to the principle of "no kings meeting kings" when it came to the Silver Dragon.
But now that we've met face to face, let's give each other some face and not provoke a conflict.
The crimson-silver dragon looked at Samantha and suddenly spoke, a hint of approval in its silver dragon eyes: "You and Garos are siblings, aren't you? No wonder you were able to answer my riddle. You are very clever, unlike the red dragons I remember."
She could be gentle and kind to any dragon that would cooperate with her in solving the mystery, even a red dragon.
After hearing Deborah's praise, the hostility in the red dragon's eyes lessened considerably.
This damn metal dragon can actually say nice things?
The red dragon's thorns softened slightly as it said, "You are also very capable. The puzzles you designed were complex and ingenious. Apart from me and Garoth, I can't think of anyone else who could answer them correctly."
Although I thought the puzzle was very simple at the time.
However, the Crimson Silver Dragon nodded happily at the Red Dragon's boasting and flattery, without refuting it.
"Metal Dragon, you come from Red Maple Valley?"
White Dragon Therese asked.
The Crimson Silver Dragon didn't even glance at him, nor did he reply.
She didn't want to communicate with Bai Lin.
Enraged by being ignored, the white dragon slammed its tail into the hard earth, snorted heavily, and stopped talking to the silver dragon, inwardly cursing the metal dragon for being ungrateful.
"We only have five dragons here."
"Vera, did you miscount?"
The Crimson Silver Dragon's gaze swept over the dragons present as it spoke.
“That’s right! Sorog is in slumber. He’s the fourth one, and he arrived later than me.” The fairy dragon was bothered by the order of arrival and emphasized it.
At this moment.
Sunlight bathed the ravaged battlefield.
The retinue of the Iron Legion is piling up intact weapons and armor into iron mounds.
The broken weapons were also gathered together.
These scrap iron pieces will be transported to the Sulphur Hills, where they will be reborn in the alchemical furnace of the red dragon Samantha and smelted into new weapons and equipment.
The corpses of the minotaurs and their mounts were not left to rot in the wilderness.
Minotaur, heavily armored rhinoceros, and mammoth carcasses were skillfully skinned and dismembered, tendons hung on makeshift smoking racks, and fat stored in jars.
The wisdom gained from struggling to survive in the wilderness is etched into the genes of these monsters.
Each piece of meat will be air-dried into strips as hard as a wooden board, and each bone will be smashed to extract the final marrow oil.
They deeply understand the value of food and will not waste any.
Garros issued an order to have a portion of his retinue stationed and occupying the Bloodhoof clan's territory.
After the previous battles, the Bloodhoof Clan territory was devastated, but it was not completely reduced to ruins. The city-like walls had many gaps, but the overall structure was still quite intact, and many stone houses and various buildings still stood inside.
The most valuable items are the totem poles.
The Bloodhoof Clan's totem poles are the result of their wealth, acquired through normal accumulation and expansion, and precious magical materials such as Star Silver and Magic Branch Wood obtained through trade along the Estonian River. They were then crafted by shamans over a long period of time, and each one is extremely valuable.
They were all basically damaged and destroyed.
However, if it is handed over to the sorcerers and shamans of the Ironforge clan for research, there is a possibility of repairing it. If all else fails, smashing the main body and selling it would also bring in a considerable fortune.
in addition.
The Bloodhoof Clan's headquarters is located in the Fertile Plains. This area is not large, but unlike other areas in the borderlands, it is not barren and desolate. As its name suggests, it is lush with grass and wild berry bushes can be seen among the birch forests. It is a territory carefully chosen by the Bloodhoof Clan.
However, from this day forward, the Bloodhoof Clan territory will become the stronghold of the Ironforge Clan.
The fertile plains will also belong to the Ironforge clan.
"Elvie, Zach, Jokic."
Garros said to the three centaur leaders, "Your centaur tribe will take over the Bloodhoof clan's territory, and each warband will send some combat units to assist you."
Horses and cavalry can exert greater strength when charging across the plains, and grassy plants are part of their diet.
It would be more appropriate for them to be in charge of the fertile plains.
The place they were in before was worthless and had a poor geographical location, so it could be discarded directly.
In this war against the Bloodhoof Clan, the brave and skilled warriors performed admirably, charging at the forefront and proving their worth.
Nowadays.
Centaurs and ogres are the two strongest tribes under the Ironforge clan. With a little training, they can continuously provide fresh blood for the Crimson Cavalry and the Starbreakers.
In addition, there are resource points such as the Obsidian Mine, the Heavy Armored Rhinoceros Ranch, the Original Iron Mine, and the Thorn Beast Ranch.
They all belong to the Ironforge clan.
Their behavior in the borderlands was more active than in the Sel Wilderness.
Dragon Valley, Fertile Plains, Sulfur Hills, Giant Ruins: The banners of the Iron Clan have gradually spread across the southwestern corner of the border region. Although they have only been here a short time, their scale has already surpassed that of the Wilderness of Sel.
"40% of those with an iron will suffered casualties."
"The Red Cavalry suffered 20% casualties."
"The Shattering Star Hammer suffered 30% casualties."
"The Eye of Annihilation suffered 10% casualties."
“.”
At this moment, the leaders of each battle group reported their battle losses in hushed tones.
The war with the Bloodhoof Clan was not an overwhelming victory; it involved fierce fighting. The Tauren were stubborn and resisted strongly, and the Ironclad Clan also suffered considerable casualties and paid a price for it.
Galos fell silent for a moment, lost in thought.
Although the battle was won, the loss of family members made the already limited manpower even more strained.
"With more outposts and territories, there are also more resource points that need to be stationed and guarded."
"However, the size of the clan has not increased, but has decreased, and there is a slight shortage of manpower to manage the current territory."
Galos's gaze swept over his retinue as he pondered.
The battle with the Bloodhoof Clan resulted in significant losses for his followers, and aside from slaves, he had no new blood. However, his territory had expanded considerably, making it difficult for him to manage everything.
"Strike while the iron is hot, conquer some more clans, and expand the size of our clan?"
Red Iron Dragon's eyes gleamed as he thought to himself.
The border region lacks well-organized and powerful legions, and there are no countries, only various clans and tribes, powerful ferocious beasts and monsters. After arriving here, Garos's ambition swelled slightly.
