Translator: 549690339
Johnny left the Land of the Soaring Dragon and chose the underground tunnel connecting it to the Black Iron Field as his route.
Recently, the Magic Train had successfully operated in several of Otto’s territories, greatly improving the tunnel’s speed.
Dain and Ebik did a great job, and the capacity of the Magic Train has been significantly enhanced, now able to meet Otto’s requirements.
Now, Mido’s underground tunnel is also nearing completion.
Previously, the Burrowing Worms there had turned to dig towards Lait and Dilant.
Currently, Johnny will go to the Black Iron Field first, and then travel to Caran Royal City with some Black Iron Dwarves and Kobolds.
At the same time, he has also brought with him several memory crystals depicting the image of the Holy Light Dragon God.
The first thing he will do is establish the Holy Light Church in Caran Royal City and use it as a starting point to slowly spread to other parts of Caran.
Johnny’s specialty is that, although previously, he was mostly on the receiving end of deception.
Not long after Johnny left the Land of the Soaring Dragon, Sofia disappeared again, not knowing where she had gone.
Recently, she has been very busy, plotting something with Felina in an unknown place.
As a result, she has neglected Moray.
He has complained more than once to Otto, saying that many of his magic research projects have been put on hold because of this.
But Lande’s response to him was to hurry up and get lost, as he did not have time to deal with these trivial matters.
As for current Lande, he has already flown to the Sky Mountain Range.
The expeditionary army led by Saru has come into contact with the monster clans in the wilderness and seems to have encountered some trouble lately.
Initially, the old Lizardman came with friendliness, hoping to win their submission without killing and warfare.
But most monster races are stubborn. If you don’t beat them into submission and spit on them, they won’t acknowledge you.
After some effort, Saru finally understood this and immediately changed his attitude towards them.
Since wine and cheese didn’t work, it was time for fists and sharp knives!
Saru brutally showed those two-faced monster clans that there were only two options in front of them now.
Submit or be destroyed!
Some monster clans thought Saru was joking, but when their villages were burned down and their tribesmen were torn apart and swallowed by various monsters, they finally began to react.
The old Lizardman was crazy, he could do anything.
So, some monster clans who feared death and destruction quickly changed their attitudes.
They knelt down respectfully, accepted the Soaring Dragon Legion’s recruitment, and served as the vanguard for the Soaring Dragon Legion to attack other monster clans.
But some monsters resisted to the end, either perishing under the iron hooves of the Soaring Dragon Legion or joining another powerful force in the wilderness.
That was a powerful Red Dragon more than twenty meters long, which called itself the Cataclysmic Flame.
According to some monsters from the wilderness who had recently joined the Soaring Dragon Legion, this Red Dragon was the only existence in the vicinity that could compete with Laitras before his death.
Therefore, many monster clans would rather submit to the rule of this Red Dragon than to the Soaring Dragon Legion.
In simple terms, they actually didn’t believe in Otto’s power.
If they had witnessed the battle between Otto and Laitras, they would probably not think so.
After all, the Storm Legion that Laitras had led at that time was now very obedient within the Soaring Dragon Legion.
However, without Otto’s personal intervention, it would be really difficult for Saru to deal with this Red Dragon.
Despite the recent increase in the old Lizardman’s strength, a Red Dragon more than twenty meters long must have Legendary-level power.
He alone could not deal with it, so he contacted Otto.
If it turns out that he is truly equal to Laitras as those monsters had claimed, Otto will show him what a real dragon is like.
As Otto slowly landed, Saru was the first to greet him.
“Your Majesty!”
The old Lizardman and the monsters behind him respectfully knelt before Otto.
“I’m sorry to have disturbed you, Your Majesty ”
Otto waved a paw, indicating that he didn’t mind.
After finding a suitable place to sit down, Otto looked at the surrounding environment and asked, “Let’s get straight to the point. What do you know about that Red Dragon?”
About the Red Dragon called Cataclysmic Flame, Saru began to offer a simple report to Otto.
Most of the information came from the testimonies of native clans who had recently joined the Soaring Dragon Legion, but few of them had actually seen the Red Dragon themselves.
So Saru couldn’t provide Otto with more in-depth information about the Red Dragon for the time being.
He only knew that it was more than twenty meters long and very powerful.
Before Otto’s arrival, he had already sent a specialized scout team for a more in-depth investigation, and there should be results soon.
But Otto couldn’t wait that long. Since the Cataclysmic Flame hadn’t shown its hand yet, let’s force it to come out.
“Apart from the Cataclysmic Flame, how strong are its followers?”
For this question, Saru pondered for a moment and then confidently said, “If the Red Dragon does not take action personally, its followers are not worth mentioning compared to the Soaring Dragon Legion!”
Although it sounded great to say that the Cataclysmic Flame and Storm Titan Laitras were on par, in reality, there was still quite a gap.
At least in terms of followers, Laitras’ Storm Legion was far ahead of that Red Dragon’s Cataclysmic Flame Legion.
And the monster clans that had later joined the Cataclysmic Flame Legion were mostly weaker monster races.
Recently, the Soaring Dragon Legion had proven that these guys were not worth mentioning either externally or internally.
“Very good!”
Otto nodded his head and then smirked, “What are you waiting for? Lead the Soaring Dragon Legion forward and eliminate anyone who dares to defy me.
Of course, if some are willing to surrender, recruit them and put them to use in the next battle immediately.”
With anticipation, he continued, “But if that Red Dragon dares to show its face, inform me immediately. I will meet him personally.
Let’s see if he is truly equal to Laitras and whether he deserves the grand title of Cataclysmic Flame.”
“All as you wish, Your Majesty!”
Saru nodded in agreement and quickly made arrangements according to Otto’s wishes.
