Chapter 262 Gradually Revealing Talent
A loud tearing sound!
Galos suddenly flapped its dragon wings, which resembled giant guillotines.
With a piercing sound of metal twisting and breaking, several iron cages imprisoning young and adolescent dragons shattered. However, the special chains that pierced through the dragons' bodies and were engraved with alchemical runes could not be dealt with in such a brutal way.
"Samantha! Sorog!"
The deep roar of the Red Iron Dragon echoed across the battlefield.
His body was covered in large, cracked scales, and the surging heat within him distorted the surrounding air. Upon hearing the sound, two teenage dragons that were chasing the remaining dwarf soldiers immediately changed direction and flew over quickly, flapping their wings.
"Unlock their chains and take them into the air."
"Garos said."
Samantha immediately understood and precisely manipulated the alchemically enhanced chains, pulling them out of the bodies of several small dragons. With each section pulled out, the young dragons could be heard groaning in pain.
After unlocking is complete.
With her thick dragon claws, she grabbed the black and green baby dragons from the left and right, respectively. Her powerful dragon wings suddenly flapped, creating a gust of wind that shot straight into the sky.
Iron Dragon Sorog gently lifted the young blue dragon and followed it into the air.
Several dragons quickly converged in the sky, making the burning mineral vein stronghold on the ground appear tiny.
Soon, several dragons had risen into the sky.
“These vile dwarven bastards, one day I will personally return and make them taste the vengeful wrath of the dragons.”
Black Dragon said through gritted teeth in a hoarse voice.
Samantha snorted two sparks from her nostrils and let out a disdainful sneer: "Heh, little guy, I'm afraid you won't have that chance, at least you won't be able to kill the dwarves here."
Why—
The green dragon had just uttered its question when it suddenly felt a terrifying heat wave coming from below, and its words came to an abrupt halt.
All the little dragons tensed their tails in unison, unable to maintain their composure, and looked down in terror toward the direction of the mining stronghold.
In mid-air.
The Red Iron Dragon flapped its wings, its massive and powerful body hovering in the air. Its Cold Explosion Scales, damaged by the previous attack and the stimulation of the golden lightning, were now almost completely shattered, revealing the underlying black and red scales with battle-hardened markings.
Sizzle!
A heatwave erupted from the center of the red iron dragon, its scales turning red-hot like branding irons, and the surrounding air twisted violently.
call!
He took a deep breath, biting a ball of fire that shone like the sun in his mouth, and then, with a deafening roar, he exhaled it violently.
Thermal Enhancement - Destructive Dragon Breath!
boom--!
The blinding, brilliant flames fell to the ground, like divine punishment hurled down from the heavens. The rolling flames turned the mining stronghold into a sea of fire, and the fleeing dwarves were reduced to charcoal in the flames. The sturdy buildings collapsed and melted in the high temperature.
The earth shook and the sky seemed to collapse.
Even high in the sky, the young dragons could clearly feel the heatwaves that carried the aura of death.
They were stunned for a few seconds. When they came to their senses, the ferocious body of the Red Iron Dragon was already in front of them. The heat on its body had not yet dissipated, and the battle runes were shining like flowing lava. It exuded an unparalleled oppressive aura, and the scorching heat hit them in the face.
"Walk."
Red Iron Dragon gave a brief order.
Immediately afterwards, the Ignas brothers streaked across the sky and vanished in a flash, leaving behind only a mining outpost that had been reduced to scorched ruins and burning flames.
On the way back to the border area.
Galos remained vigilant and did not let his guard down.
When they first seized the mines of the Principality of Raymond, high-level golems soon broke through the air in pursuit. This time, the commotion is even greater, so we cannot let our guard down.
The Blackrock Duchy's legions in the Sel Wilderness are not something Garos should fear.
However, federal troops stationed there need to be extra careful.
However, even after his wings swept across the desolate sky, crossed the Estonian River, and reached the border, he still found no trace of any golems or powerful pursuers.
"Has the support response within the Federation become sluggish?"
The red iron dragon hovered over the border, gazing thoughtfully back towards the wilderness.
Since the fall of the Holy King, although the various kingdoms have maintained a superficial peace, they are secretly harboring their own ambitions, with undercurrents surging and silently accumulating strength, waiting for the right opportunity to erupt. Under such circumstances, even if the Black Rock Duchy's garrison requests for help immediately, it is difficult to get a quick and effective response.
In fact, it's not just the Principality of Blackrock.
In the wilderness of Sel, the strong kingdoms are doing well, but the weaker duchies are increasingly being attacked by powerful beasts and monster lords.
Never underestimate the intelligence of the monsters in the wilderness.
Some monsters, unaware of the situation in the south, sensed something amiss and began to slowly extend their claws to test the reaction of the Federation garrison. The Federation garrison's sluggishness emboldened the monsters, making them even more aggressive.
This trend is likely to continue.
Before long, the wild creatures that have been suppressed for hundreds of years will soon bare their fangs and seize territory and resources from the Federation.
The sound of the wing membrane breaking through the air gradually diminished.
Sensing that the dragons had visibly relaxed upon entering the border area, the green dragon's eyes darted around as it cautiously opened its mouth, tentatively asking, "Powerful kin, thank you for saving my life."
Until now.
The young dragons were unaware of Garus and his companions' true purpose, and they didn't know whether they had been saved or had just escaped the dwarves' captivity only to fall into an even more dangerous situation.
"Although we are weak, we will definitely find a way to repay you. Please feel free to ask us for anything we can do."
The green dragon spoke humbly and sincerely, subtly employing its innate negotiation-type spell skills.
Unfortunately, the gap between the two sides was too large, and his negotiations were completely exempted from impact.
“I’ll take your lives.” Samantha suddenly grinned, revealing her sharp white fangs, and said mischievously.
The little dragons immediately stiffened, their scales standing on end.
Iron Dragon Sorog added at the opportune moment: "To be precise, it's about keeping your lives and pledging your loyalty to us."
Samantha continued arrogantly, "Listen, you snot-nosed brats, your lives are now in our hands. Any objections?"
Although she did not fully grasp the theory of ecological niches and did not consciously avoid the concept of high ecological niches, she was very skilled at insulting and oppressing other dragons from above, as if she had mastered it without a teacher.
Samantha's guidance was indispensable in enabling White Dragon Therese to achieve "enlightenment".
"A very reasonable request."
The green dragon forced a smile, while the black dragon remained silent.
At the same time, the young blue dragon, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly asked, "Did you encounter Cahill?"
These dragons had a clear objective: while destroying and damaging the dwarves' base, they almost went straight to rescue them, and then decisively withdrew from the battle and left the wilderness.
If you calm down, it's not hard to see that their real target wasn't the dwarves, but rather those who had been captured by them.
They were captured for a very short time.
Such swift rescue could be attributed to either incredible luck or some unexpected event, or it could be related to the escaped red dragon Cahill.
Tie Long's eyes flashed, and he looked down at the boy Lan Long that he was carrying.
"name?"
"Hriam".
"Young Blue Dragon said in a low voice."
Sorog simply asked for his name and then said nothing more, without explaining whether he had come because of the red dragon Cahill. Heriam did not press further and remained silent.
But Black Dragon clearly didn't have that much patience: "Where are you taking us?"
As she spoke, she wriggled restlessly in Samantha's claws.
"Shut up, you little black brat!" Samantha tightened her claws impatiently, almost squeezing the black dragon until it passed out.
She was too lazy to explain too much; she figured they'd understand once they got to Dragon Valley, so she decided to just take them there first.
The other green dragon being carried also wanted to ask a question, but after seeing its companion's miserable state, it wisely kept quiet.
The bright sun rose on the distant horizon, gradually illuminating the gray-blue sky. In the lingering darkness, several dragons flew deeper into the borderlands.
