Black Dragon Code

Caesar waits at the Fortress of Sighs.

It has been less than ten years since the establishment of the Fortress of Sighs, but it has become one of the most important fortresses on the border of the Blackwing Empire. It is also the largest war fortress in the empire so far. The military route to march.

As the relationship with the south of Elradia has become increasingly tense, the military strength in the fortress has also been continuously strengthened. Today, this seemingly inconspicuous and rough fortress has gathered 100,000 troops, including 80,000 well-equipped human standing troops And more than 20,000 clan monsters.

At the same time, if a war really breaks out, the seven clan groups responsible for patrolling the southern border area can respond quickly and enter the fortress to provide support at the first time. At that time, this place will gather more than half of the military power of the Black Wing Empire. .

It is not only a fortress, but also a gate. When the gates are opened, the armies of the Blackwing Empire can flow down the Mountains of Sighs, bringing blade and fang to any city in Elradia.

But Caesar was not a lunatic who lost his mind. Although he was very upset by the Empire on which the sun never set recently, this little anger was not enough to be a reason for him to risk his life with the other party.

The war has not yet started, this time arriving at the Fortress of Sighs, the Black Dragon Emperor has another reason besides daily inspections of the territory and inspection of border defenses: waiting for others.

Waiting for Atas Ambition, Prince of the Dwarves, and the dwarves of Graycastle led by him.

Although most of the dwarves in Graycastle don't care about world affairs and are obsessed with the improvement of forging technology and the research and development of high-tech materials, their wisdom in other aspects is not much lower than that of humans. idiot.

A tribe of dwarves who have suffered heavy losses and are proficient in forging will attract the prying eyes of many pretenders on the long journey? Atas is very clear, what's more, he still holds the handed down halberd and all kinds of sophisticated armor weapons in the hands of other members of the clan. Idiots talk about dreams.

So as early as when he decided to go to the Northland, Atas wrote a letter to the Black Dragon Emperor in the name of the King of the Ambition Clan. Self-proclaimed) friendly exchanges, affirmed the inseparable trade and solid and reliable alliance between the two sides, and then described in detail the history of the Battle of the Three Forts and the current crisis and dilemma faced by the Ambition Clan; finally, Atas sincerely asked the Black Dragon The emperor's help.

The Emperor of the North quickly wrote back, calling Attas a friend and claiming that the empire would immediately start a protection plan for the Graycastle dwarves to ensure their safe arrival in the Northland.

but in the south,

It is difficult for the Black Wing Empire to directly send troops to protect the Graycastle dwarves, so they can only provide economic, intelligence, and route support to the Graycastle dwarves in other ways. Caesar even paid a price for this, exposing many Complete the infiltrated blackshirt and doppelganger.

This situation quickly improved after Atas and his clan arrived in the area north of the central region. Within the radiating range of the influence of the Blackwing Empire, the attitude of the kingdom and clan encountered by the Graycastle dwarves changed 180 degrees. Therefore, the time they spent on the entire second half of the journey was even less than one-third of the first half of the journey,

Finally, after four months of trekking, the Graycastle dwarves finally came to the Fortress of Sighs on the border of the Blackwing Empire and stood in front of the Black Dragon Emperor Caesar Targaryen.

The fact that the dwarves of Graycastle could gain Caesar's attention just because of their world-class forging skills, but there is another reason why Caesar spent so much time helping them - in a sense, this is also a This is a political performance, and he is showing to the southern countries that the Black Wing Empire values ​​its trading partners and allies, and is willing to be their backing and retreat.

As for whether the Black Wing Empire and the Kingdom of Graycastle had an alliance at the beginning, as long as they both recognize that there is, then there is.

Atas Ambition, on behalf of the Kingdom of Stuart and the Ambition Clan, I take the liberty to pay my respects to you, King of Dragons, His Majesty Targaryen, Emperor of the North, your friendship is unforgettable to me.

Atas, the legendary casting master, was standing in front of Caesar and bowed at this time, just like the fist salute of the orcs. The dwarves did not kneel and salute, they bowed to show respect.

Welcome, loyal dwarf.

It was difficult for Caesar, who kept his body, to make a friendly expression, but his voice sounded quite gentle.

The black dragon looked at the unmasked dwarf king. Although the ruler of the Stuart Kingdom was only half the height of a human, he did not make people feel small. He had a strong body like a warrior, and his muscles were wrapped in the engraved Inside the armor with mysterious patterns, without a helmet, he held a two-meter-long dark golden trident in one hand, and his black wavy hair hung down.

The two sides were silent for a while, and Atas decided to speak up. Although language is not the dwarf's strong point, it took him a long time to come up with the opening remarks before, but this involves the continuation of the clan, so he must open his mouth. Black Dragon Emperor, the fragile dwarf alliance was wiped out in the flames of war, and the Xiongxin clan was displaced due to the destruction of their homes. Here, on behalf of the only remaining clansmen, I sincerely ask for your protection.

The north is not a paradise, and our enemies are also eyeing us. Caesar lowered his head and asked, What do you want, what do you want?

We hope that you will treat us like elves, give us a piece of land that you don't need, and give dwarves equal rights to life and dignity. Attas lowered his head and said: You will win honor and the respect of all dwarves for this, ambition The clan will always remember your first and last name.

Caesar was very dissatisfied with the words of Prince Attas, which was not what he wanted to hear.

When he received the news from the dwarves of Graycastle, Caesar subconsciously thought that the other party wanted to migrate to the north to join the Blackwing Empire, so he spared no effort to help, but in fact this was not the case at all, the dwarves just wanted to be in the north Acquire a piece of land and rebuild your home under the protection of the Blackwing Empire.

They didn't even think about paying for it, all they paid was promises, just verbal honor and respect.

That's fine, it's very medieval.

honor?

The Black Dragon Emperor grinned, and the exposed huge fangs changed the atmosphere: What is honor? What is respect? Since when did the tricks of humans start to work against giant dragons?

He said cruelly, but suddenly changed the topic, and his thoughts jumped out: Dwarf, I think your war halberd is very interesting.

When these words came out, the expressions of all the dwarves including Atas changed. The greed of the giant dragon is well known in the world, and they are very clear about what the black dragon is up to, but the Halberd of Atas is not just a legendary weapon. It is the logo pattern on the current flag of Stuart, the symbol of the existence of the Stuart Kingdom for nearly two hundred years, and the spiritual pillar of the Ambition Clan.

The flag of the Three Forts Military Alliance back then was also composed of the halberd of the Xiongxin clan, the hammer of the Warhammer clan, and the staff of the Thunderhou clan.

The black dragon looked down playfully, while the dwarves were all silent.

After a while, Prince Asta's cloudy expression finally subsided, he paused, and said in a low voice, For the continuation of Stuart!

This sentence seemed to be used by him to convince himself. As soon as the words fell, Atas held the dark gold trident horizontally and raised his hands: The powerful Black Dragon Emperor, this is a gift from the Xiongzhi clan.

Very good. Caesar nodded, lowered his big paws, and picked it up without hesitation.

The Halberd of Atas has five weapon qualities, five ability blessings, and two different types of spell-like abilities, which are much more powerful than the Isaacs Thirst for Blood that Caesar gave Hogg back then. The dwarves watched the actions of the Black Dragon Emperor, saw him put the handed down halberd in front of his eyes, glanced at it, stuffed it into his mouth, and bit it.

Unexpectedly, the collision between the Halberd of Atas and the dragon's teeth did not burst into sparks, nor did it make a harsh friction sound. The dwarves only heard a continuous, beeping trill, like a metallic whimper.

Clang! The halberd was thrown back.

The empire gives shelter and support, and the elves give loyalty and friendship. Do you want the same dignity as the elves? But do you know that they fought for the empire and shed blood for the empire?

The Black Dragon Emperor turned and left: There is land outside the fortress. Inside the fortress, come after thinking clearly.
