Chapter 87: The Fall of the Red Dragon (Part 1)

Rhonin and his party came to an unnamed forest. According to the guidance of the dwarf guide, this forest will eventually lead to Grim Batol.

Rhonin was walking around the camp bored. He originally thought that the journey in the past few days would be easy and enjoyable, but it turned out to be an extremely boring journey. The elf ranger Alleria had not said a word to him in the past few days. Every time they met, she looked frozen. It was just that she was three days late. He could chat with the two paladins who escorted him, but these two knights were really old-fashioned. He would run out of words if he wanted to talk about a topic. It's not that there aren't some who are good at talking. The team's dwarf guide is a talkative person, but he only talks about mountains, rivers, and these are exactly what he is not interested in.

"Where are you going?" Rhonin saw two paladins and an elf riding horses and preparing to leave the camp.

A paladin answered him and said, "Alleria sent a message that our new reinforcements were injured and need our treatment."

"Oh? I'll go and see too." New reinforcements? Rhonin was very curious.

Following the elves, the three of them met Alleria and the new reinforcements.

"Goblins?" Rhonin frowned. He didn't like these short creatures.

A paladin was treating a wounded goblin: "Your arm is broken, what happened?"

The goblin was grimacing in pain, unable to speak. Alleria explained: "They used a paraglider to land from the airship, but Wuyou, the injured goblin, was hung on a tree. An accident occurred while he was untying the paraglider. The rope that tied him suddenly broke, and Wuyou unfortunately fell to the ground."

"What can they do?" Rhonin did not trust these goblins.

Wu You, who had eased the pain a little, said, "We brought an elite demolition team. They are proficient in various ways of using explosives. They are good at both demolition and ambush."

​​Luo Ning continued to express his opinion, "I don't think it is a wise choice to use such a loud weapon in the enemy's lair."

Wu You ignored him and continued, "We also brought two airships, one for transporting personnel and the other for carrying equipment."

"What about the airship?"

Wuyou replied, "It landed in the valley on the other side of the mountain. If it gets any closer to Grim Batol, it might be discovered. Otherwise, we wouldn't have used a paraglider to land."

A sarcastic smile appeared on Ronin's face. In his opinion, these reinforcements were completely useless. This mission was more like a stealth operation. The use of explosives would greatly increase the probability of being discovered. The airship had a slow flying speed and poor defense. Once discovered by those guys riding dragons, it would be shot down and die.

Alleria said, "Let's go back to the camp and plan our next move."

The next day, Rhonin, Alleria, Wuyou, who was wearing a bandage, and a paladin quietly walked through the forest and found an abandoned cave. Rhonin used the method of the Krasus religion to sense the strong smell of red dragons inside, and they searched carefully.

"This place seems to be abandoned?" The paladin said. There were no creatures in the cave.

Rhonin proposed an idea: "Could it be moved?"

Alleria pulled the bowstring and looked around vigilantly. It was too quiet here, which made her very uncomfortable.

"Oops!" Wuyou fell down and everyone's eyes were focused on him.

"What a piece of crap!" Wuyou threw the stone that had just tripped him aside.

"Wait a minute!" Ronin shouted. Ronin sensed the presence of magic on that stone.

Ronin ran over and picked it up, holding his breath and sensing it. Dragon's magic! Ronin carefully sensed the surroundings, and sure enough, there were traces of magic on other stones.

The other three looked at Ronin picking up stones everywhere in confusion. Ronin used his robe to hold the stones. After confirming that there were no magic stones in the cave, Ronin explained to his three teammates: "These are the stones that contain magic aura. This may be left by the dragon."

Back to the camp, Ronin put the stones together and used magic to materialize the traces on the stones. A bunch of strange symbols appeared on the stones.

Alleria asked, "What is this?"

This is Dragon Language! Rhonin was surprised. The stone was engraved with Dragon Language. Almost no one except the dragons could master this language, and he was unlucky to be the "almost". Rhonin put these scattered characters into his mind and pieced them together again. Endless Sea? What do the remaining numbers mean? Is it a password? Rhonin had a guess in his mind. The cave originally imprisoned red dragons, but for some reason they were moved to the Endless Sea. Those numbers represent the location where they were imprisoned. If the numbers are cracked, the secret base on the sea can be known. The dragons are completely able to cast spells silently, and Lordaeron also suspected that the orcs have a base on the sea.

Seeing that no one understood the meaning of the symbols, Wuyou spread out his map and prepared to ask about the next action plan.

Rhonin suddenly asked, "What are the numbers after Grim Batol?"

"This is the coordinate, indicating the location of Grim Batol."

Coordinates! Rhonin finally understood the meaning of the numbers. Rhonin thought that the goblins brought airships, which could be used for sea reconnaissance. But how to tell them this? Rhonin was troubled by the discussion. After all, a red dragon did fly out of Grim Batol, and the Endless Sea was just a suspicion. Elves? Forget it. Judging from her attitude, she would never agree with her plan to investigate the Endless Sea; Paladin? They were too rigid. They would not leave without orders. Goblins? They could not help at all. It seemed that he was the only one left. Even if something unexpected happened, he could still escape with his own abilities.

After the discussion, Rhonin found Wu You. To his surprise, Wu You directly lent him the airship and the crew on the airship, and also promised to notify other people on his behalf. Rhonin felt a little ashamed. These goblins were very kind. Rhonin found

the coordinates of the suspected detention site on the nautical chart on the airship in the valley. The airship slowly took off and headed for somewhere in the ocean...

Early the next morning, Wu You woke everyone up.

"Oh no! Oh no! The airship in the valley is gone!"

"What?" Aurelia frowned.

"An airship is missing! Even the people on it are gone! We can't contact them at all."

All the people in the camp gathered together except Rhonin.

"Where is Rhonin?" No one knew where he went.

On a small island in the Endless Sea, Richard received the news from Wuyou and was preparing a grand welcome ceremony for Rhonin. Vashj was doing the final cleaning for the Red Dragon Queen.
