Chapter 212 Fighting for Your King
In order to select the chapter leader of the Iron Will, a large number of leaders happened to gather in Dragon Valley at this time. After deciding to go to war against the Golden Tooth Tribe, Garos rose into the night sky.
Under the gaze of countless eyes.
The red iron dragon suddenly spread its wings, and sparks from the friction of its fine scales poured down like a torrential rain.
"Listen up, warriors of the Ironforge tribe!"
The roar of the red-iron dragon sent shards of rock scattering: "The goblin insects of the southeast are eyeing us covetously."
"They dare to drive boundary markers into our rivers! They dare to leave arrow slits in our strongholds! They're trying to shackle us with taxes!"
The sound paused slightly, then continued at a higher pitch.
"I want to see the Golden Tooth Tribe's furnace become our forge! I want to see the goblins howling and begging for mercy in the flames! I want the entire borderlands to know that a true king is coming here!"
"Now--"
"Sharpen your claws and teeth!"
"Sharpen your weapons!"
"—Prepare to fight for your king!"
Its wings, which blot out the sky, flutter like banners, and the Red Iron Dragon's voice, when declaring war, echoes like a tempered steel blade in the night sky of Dragon Valley.
"For the great Lord of the Crimson Wings!"
"For the Ironclad Tribe!"
"For the King of the Borderlands!"
All the warriors' weapons struck their shields simultaneously, producing a sound like thunder.
The excited howls and roars of wolves rose and fell in waves, never ceasing.
The warriors of the Ironforge are all warlike and ruthless, and even the Lawful faction members are all brave and skilled in battle.
They are not afraid of war, and even look forward to it.
Ten years of hiding and lying low had made them incredibly hungry for more.
Their henchmen crave blood.
After that, orders were issued one after another.
The leaders of the clans no longer gathered in Dragon Valley, but instead went to the various outposts of the Ironforge.
They opened their granaries and distributed meat, which was mixed with vegetables to make soup. The supply was unlimited, so even the most basic gnolls and kobolds could eat their fill and have round bellies.
Elite soldiers like centaurs and ogres received even better treatment.
High-quality meat from ferocious beasts or monsters, along with fruits and vegetables imbued with magical energy, became their staple food.
After a hearty meal, they donned their armor, picked up their weapons, and prepared for battle. During their preparations, they did not rest but engaged in moderate-intensity training to warm up for the fight and get their bodies moving.
They each received orders.
After the seventh sunrise, the fully prepared Ironforge warriors will launch a more ferocious attack on the Golden Tooth tribe's stronghold, and will no longer be limited to the riverbank.
Mines, ranches, grasslands, and the main strongholds of the Golden Tooth tribe in the southeast were all targeted for attack.
The servants in the Wind Howling Forest also received the order. The werewolf shaman used magic to communicate with the white tiger, telling this powerful and ferocious monster lord that it was time to tear the enemy apart for the Ironforge tribe.
Dragon Nest.
Galos devoured the high-quality flesh and blood of the Black Scale Giant Serpent, accompanied by mouthfuls of 93 Black Oil to soothe his throat. His body gradually became full of energy. After finishing his meal, he did not exercise again, but calmly adjusted his state.
The seven days were for pre-battle preparations and for developing combat strategies.
This is also the time needed for Garos' Cold Scales to fully recover and for his condition to reach its peak.
Buzz!
A crystal lit up, and a faint blue light outlined the image of the red dragon Samantha.
This is a projection stone, a more advanced communication tool purchased from the Gem Merchant Guild last time. It can transmit images and sounds in real time and is resistant to magical interference. It is much more expensive than ordinary communication stones.
Currently, only the dragons of Dragon Valley still possess core members.
Samantha had already received the message, but since she was located in Sulfur Hills and was in charge of the alchemy production line, and had advanced communication tools like the Projection Stone, she didn't need to come to Dragon Valley in person.
"If we can obtain the black oil field and take over the Golden Tooth tribe, we can also try to manufacture alchemical golems, war machines, and various medium and large-sized alchemical tools."
Red Dragon said excitedly.
The gold refining industry cannot function without energy.
The alchemy industry of the Iron Smelting Tribe has been slow to develop and progressed mainly because of a lack of energy. Some key, large-scale alchemy tools require burning black oil as an energy source, which the Iron Smelting Tribe cannot afford.
The gold refining industry can only develop rapidly with the availability of black oil reserves.
"The higher purity black oil you want can be extracted and refined using the production capacity of black oil fields."
Samantha added that she hadn't forgotten her brother who loved drinking dark soy sauce.
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Red Iron Dragon said, "Seven days from now, we will wage war against the Golden Tooth Tribe. Samantha, during this time, you should stop the production of weapons and armor and concentrate production capacity to manufacture High Explosive Flame Orbs."
High-Explosive Flame Orb – This is currently the most powerful offensive item in the Red Dragon's alchemical heritage.
It is a one-time use item with no usage requirements.
The Ironforge tribe lacks mid-level and upper-level power, which can be somewhat compensated for by the power of the High Explosive Flame Beads. However, they are very expensive to produce, and each one is worth its weight in silver, which is almost equivalent to fighting with wealth.
but.
As long as we can obtain the black oil field, any investment now is just a drop in the ocean.
"Good! Bomb those bastards!"
After a brief discussion, Red Dragon Samantha shut down the projection stone and rushed to take control of the production line.
"Sorog, what suggestions do you have?"
Galos looked at the Iron Dragon.
Iron Dragon's eyes gleamed with psionic energy as his mind raced, analyzing the current situation and devising a battle strategy.
His vision seemed to present a map of the entire southeast and southwest.
The distribution of the major strongholds, the known strength of their defenses, and so on, are all clearly visible.
The battle hadn't even started yet, but he had already been simulating it based on the situation of both sides, and gradually a clear outline was forming in his mind.
“We and the Golden Tooth Tribe each have our own advantages and disadvantages.”
Iron Dragon Sorog said, "The Golden Tooth Tribe has accumulated a wealth of resources, including numerous mech golems and alchemical artifacts, as well as some high-powered heavy artillery and powerful war machines, making them extremely strong in direct combat."
"However, they are weak and rely almost entirely on the alchemy industry, which is severely unbalanced."
"They are more prone to fatigue, require more logistical support, and need more supplies."
"The goblins themselves are the biggest weakness of the Golden Tooth tribe."
"In contrast, the warriors of our Ironforge tribe are almost all tireless warriors with very low demand for logistical supplies. Relying on their strong physiques, they can fight continuously for long periods of time. Moreover, with the presence of us dragons, they have an advantage in mobility."
The light in Tie Long's eyes did not fade.
He continued, "In war with the Golden Tooth tribe, we should avoid large-scale frontal conflicts, avoid fighting in open areas such as plains, and avoid concentrating all our forces in one battle."
"We should launch attacks on their major strongholds in a dispersed manner, fighting on multiple fronts to strike and cut off their logistical supplies."
Tie Long speaks very fast, but every word is precise and clear, and his speech is well-organized.
He explained his meticulous and detailed battle strategy in detail.
"The core of all tactics is to break down the whole into smaller parts and launch attacks from multiple points."
After a full few minutes, the light in his eyes slowly faded. He stopped talking, rubbed his head vigorously with his paws, and showed a very tired expression, his gaze even becoming somewhat unfocused.
High-intensity, rapid thinking severely depletes psionic energy.
Tie Long now only felt a splitting headache and his brain became cloudy and sluggish.
What do you think?
Tie Long let out a breath, enduring his headache, and asked Garos.
Red Iron Dragon nodded slightly: "That's about what I was thinking. We'll go to war with the Golden Tooth Tribe using this strategy." After thinking for a moment, he added: "White Dragon Therese and Elvie can also be deployed to the battlefield."
"Hmm? What about the Fertile Plains? The Abyss Rift still exists."
Iron Dragon's question was sluggish, a result of his overexertion of psionic energy.
"It's alright. If necessary, we can abandon the Fertile Plains first. If the goblins want it, then give it to them."
"What's wrong with letting the goblins hold them for us temporarily?"
Hong Tielong grinned: "Let's see if they can hold out."
Tie Long nodded in sudden realization: "I understand."
He looked at Red Iron Dragon with admiration and said, "As expected of you, Garos, my dear brother, you think more thoroughly than I do. Even though I have become a mind mage and can use mind magic, I am still not as good as you."
Galos nodded slightly, his expression calm as he said:
"You're not bad either. Your growth has exceeded my expectations. In terms of overall war planning, you'll surpass me sooner or later."
In fact, there were some details in Tie Long's battle plan that Galos hadn't considered, but he still accepted Tie Long's praise without hesitation. They were brothers, and there was no need to say anything about such trivial matters.
