Chapter 260 The Story of Revenge
In the end, Cahill, the Red Dragon, lowered his head.
Fifty years—this is not a long time for dragons. Her life is far more precious than fifty years. Moreover, if it were any other great evil dragon, using the debt of saving her life as leverage to force her to serve for five hundred years might be considered lenient.
Compared to what she gained.
This amount of effort is negligible.
To the dragon, it looked like he was doing charity.
If it weren't for the fact that the dragon before him was covered in sharp, menacing features that clearly revealed its evil nature, Cahill would have doubted whether it was a benevolent dragon.
She felt like she had made a profit.
Little did they know, Galus thought the same thing.
As everyone knows, free things are the most expensive. The moment the red dragon Cahill agreed, it was destined that she would serve Dragon Valley and Galos for the rest of her life.
"Now, tell me how you ended up in your current situation."
“It’s a long story. It wasn’t caused by just one thing.” Cahill scratched the scales on his neck, his expression becoming complicated.
It's just a young dragon who's not even 20 years old yet.
How much experience can he have?
Red Iron Dragon's gaze swept over Cahill's wounds: "Let's start from the very beginning."
Cahill, despite his exhaustion, immediately said, "I am alone now, but in reality, I am not fighting for survival alone."
She quickly recounted what had happened recently.
From her initial ambition upon leaving the Cliffs Strait, to her taciturn silence after being thwarted in the Wilderness of Sel, and then to her regret and anger while being hunted, Galos could sense the shifts in her emotions through her description.
Of these, what interested Galos the most was...
There were other dragons as well.
More than one dragon is located in the Wilderness of Sel; a total of three dragons have been captured by the Blackrock Dwarves.
As for the dragons Garros who died, Cahill didn't say much about them.
The living environment for dragons is so harsh that although dragons that can grow up are generally much stronger than metal dragons of the same age, the price they pay is extremely high.
In Garros's view, Cahill and his men had fallen into almost every possible trap.
Perhaps because they were born into the Blue Dragon community, including the two young dragons, they lacked experience in surviving in the wilderness, were not cautious and steady enough, and encountered too many unexpected troubles that could have been avoided.
"This wretched place, the wilderness, even if we wanted to lie low and develop, to barely survive, all sorts of dangers still came one after another, killing our companions, and we couldn't even escape the wilderness in the end."
Cahill muttered curses.
Upon hearing this, Garus narrowed his eyes and said seriously, "Born as a dragon, every place in this world is fraught with danger and malice."
"Hiding in the shadows? Weakness is always the greatest danger. If you keep hiding and enduring, you will never be able to raise your head again."
He is always cautious in his work, but he is by no means 'discreet'.
He knew very well that his identity as a red-iron hybrid meant that even if he hid in the darkest corner and did nothing, sooner or later adventurers and other such figures would come to his door to attack him.
At that time, if one is weak, death is certain.
Therefore, each time after careful consideration.
When Galus is certain that the benefits of something outweigh the risks, he will always act decisively to secure the resources and environment for his own growth and development.
“Garos, according to this young red dragon, there are three more dragons that have been lost in the wilderness and captured and imprisoned by the Blackrock Dwarves.”
Sorog's voice echoed in my mind, saying, "Blue dragons are naturally good at managing territories and their followers. I lack such a deputy. Moreover, green dragons and black dragons each have their own characteristics, which are beneficial to the development of the Ironforge tribe. I suggest rescuing them."
As a standard dragon supremacist.
The Iron Dragon Sorog is happy to save more dragons, build a dragon empire that can rule the world, and eventually let the Ignas brothers rule the other dragons.
"Please rescue the blue dragon that has been captured by the dwarves."
At the same time, Cahill's whispered request rang out. The proud red dragon lowered its head and said, "He is the same age as me, but he has power that is comparable to mine. He is worth your investment in nurturing."
Samantha, the red dragon, exclaimed "Eh!"
"Blue Dragon. There's also a green dragon and a black dragon, why not mention them?"
She asked.
Upon hearing this, Cahill scoffed and said, "Greenskins and blackskins are considered dragons? They're only slightly better than whiteskins, but still useless. They were defeated and captured almost without resistance, which is a disgrace. If they were even slightly useful, we could have broken through the dwarves' blockade back then."
Well said!
Samantha, a believer in the supremacy of the Red Dragon, gave Cahill an admiring look.
Meanwhile, Galos pondered quietly, offering no direct answer.
"Xiao Long's capture is a recent event."
"They were captured while severely wounded, but their lives should be fine. A living dragon is more valuable than a dead one."
"In addition, although the Wilderness of Sel has the road network of the Thousand Serpents, it will not be a matter of a short time to transfer the dragons. They are most likely still stationed in the Duchy of Blackrock."
He pondered to himself, his claws lightly tapping the ground.
The Duchy of Blackrock, a part of the Lorthen Federation, is a duchy composed of dwarves. It is not a vassal state of any kingdom, and its military strength is neither particularly strong nor weak among the federation duchies, but rather at a mediocre level.
The problem now is...
Which is more important, the risk of raiding the Blackrock Principality's base or the benefits of rescuing the dragon?
However, this is not a very complicated problem.
A dozen seconds later, the Red Iron Dragon slowly raised its head and gazed toward the direction of the Wilderness of Sel.
"Solog, Samantha, how many years have we been away from the wilderness?"
He asked.
Fourteen years.
Without hesitation, both answered instantly.
As long-lived species, dragons are not actually sensitive to the passage of time. The reason they can remember so clearly is simply because they are driven by strong emotions.
"Yes, fourteen years."
Hong Tielong said in a leisurely tone, "Unbeknownst to us, fourteen years have already passed."
He remembered clearly that he was forced out of the Serbian wilderness when he had just turned eighteen, and was forced to flee to the border region. Now he was thirty-two years old, and fourteen years had passed.
After a few seconds of silence.
The red iron dragon grinned, revealing its fangs and displaying its sharp edge.
He asked, "Do you yearn to return to the wilderness?"
Sorog and Samantha exchanged a glance, then nodded emphatically, their eyes gleaming with excitement: "We're always thinking about making those reptiles feel the fear of being dominated by the Ignas brothers."
Defeated and driven out by a powerful enemy.
He returns after growing up, seeking revenge.
Although many more dragons die prematurely during their journey, such stories are not uncommon in the lineage of dragons.
This isn't the first time they've raided a federal outpost.
After careful consideration, Garos decided to take matters into his own hands and launch a swift and decisive attack on the Blackrock Principality's base to rescue the dragons and have them pledge allegiance to Dragon Valley in return for saving his life.
The Blackrock Duchy was not much stronger than the current Ironforge.
Their main base is in the south, and there are only some garrisons in the Sel Wilderness, with probably only two or three resource points in total.
Even after the attack, the duchy was furious and wanted to punish the Iron Smelting Tribe.
They also had to consider whether their legions could safely cross the Sel Wilderness, whether their supplies could sustain such a long-distance war, and whether they could fight the Ironforge tribe at the border.
Moreover...
There are quite a few dragons in the Sel Wilderness, and when attacked by dragons, it is difficult to pinpoint the exact location of the border.
Most importantly, the Ironforge tribe is just waiting for the war to start before marching into the wilderness. Before that, Garos wants to test how the Federation will react if its members are attacked.
