Chapter 151: The Terrifying Wyvern King and the Green Dragon's Minion Legion

Hearing Knight Orstein's account, the knights at the banquet were moved.

The knightly order's sudden encounter with wyverns during their pursuit must have involved a very fierce battle to repel these cunning and cruel monsters.

The fact that all healing potions were used up is a testament to the arduous nature of the battle.

Su Li frowned and asked, "Does the green dragon have other wyverns under its command?"

Knight Orstein nodded and said, "And not just one or two, but a wyvern legion. Judging from the threats and harsh words they left behind as they fled, there seems to be a wyvern king as well."

The news of the wyvern king caused everyone to gasp in surprise.

Wyvern kings generally possess Chosen-level strength. If you add a sinister green dragon, it means that this green dragon legion has at least two Chosen-level monsters.

Moreover, judging from the wyvern king's subservience to the green dragon, the green dragon has at least mid-level Chosen strength, and very likely high-level Chosen strength.

As strength increases, the gap between each small level becomes larger.

For example, Knight Orstein, a mid-level Champion, would overwhelmingly defeat Fastrick, an initial-level Champion knight.

The Pegasus knight's battle with Beast Butcher Gerold could be said to be a close call, with a chance of winning. But against Orstein, he had little ability to resist.

At the Chosen level, this gap would only be greater.

Moreover, dragons are the masters of the strongest arcane power in this world.

They are not just savage monsters that only use claws to fight; those kinds of dragons that only bite are called dragon beasts.

The huge difference between dragons and beasts is reflected in the dragon language magic that dragons wield.

If a green dragon spends a long time chanting and casts a powerful dragon language spell, it could kill hundreds of humans in one strike. Even powerful elite knights cannot withstand high-level dragon language magic. Even dwarves with anti-magic physiques would be severely injured.

Such a powerful Chosen-level dragon, plus a Chosen-level wyvern king, and a tribe of wyverns—the strength of their legion is terrifying.

Su Li sighed and said, "As expected of a sinister green dragon, paying special attention to its minion legion. If it were a red dragon, it probably wouldn't have the brains to manage so many minions."

In this regard, the green dragon is a bit like Easterners, liking to plan before acting, liking to manage forces, and also liking to use tactics.

The dwarf's legion leader, Muradin, stood up decisively at this time and said, "My big friend, don't worry. Even if the green dragon is strong, the dwarves will come and fight alongside you."

Dogrin also nodded immediately, heavily slamming the table and saying, "The dwarves will bring a batch of elites to face the evil threat together with our friend."

Su Li smiled. The dwarves' sincerity was beyond doubt. He would also go all out in this battle against the demons.

Only by preserving the strength of this batch of dwarven troops as much as possible would more dwarves come to Black Forest Territory in the future to help him fight the green dragon.

Even if one-tenth of them came to support the territory in the future, that would be hundreds of dwarven warriors.

So Su Li said with a smile, "Good! Let's toast to our friendship. Although the enemy is large and the green dragon's claws blot out the sky, our friends and comrades are also numerous, coming from all over the world. Justice will surely triumph over evil!"

"For justice! For victory! Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

"Cheers!"

With everyone's cheers, the atmosphere of the banquet finally became harmonious and pleasant.

The previous bit of unruliness was quickly dispelled when faced with a common enemy.

Constantine then asked with concern, "Can you continue to tell us more about the detailed intelligence regarding the green dragon's minions and the demon legion?"

Knight Orstein replied cautiously, "We don't have detailed intelligence about the scale of the green dragon's minions."

"But through torturing prisoners, we roughly know some of the evil creatures controlled by the green dragon. These creatures either admire the green dragon's power and voluntarily become its minions, or fear its cruelty and form an alliance with it, following it in arson and looting."

"These races include kobold tribes, gnoll tribes, centaur tribes, forest goblins, trolls, ogres, as well as some forest giants and wyverns."

"These monsters are distributed throughout the vast Bloodpine Forest, and their numbers are countless. Perhaps even the green dragon doesn't know exactly how many there are. Only when it awakens, summons its minions, and launches a raid will these monsters gather from all directions beneath its lair."

Just hearing about these evil races, Su Li felt that their scale was a bit terrifying.

Even if a race only had two or three tribes, with each tribe having hundreds of monsters, it would add up to tens of thousands of them.

With so many of the green dragon's claws killing out of the forest under its wings, the scale would probably be overwhelming.

Constantine said decisively, "We can't sit still and wait for death. We must strike decisively and weaken the monsters' scale in time. Otherwise, once it awakens and gathers all its minions, we can only become monster feces."

Su Li nodded and said, "Our tactics are also arranged this way. The western periphery of the entire Bloodpine Forest has become sparse under our attacks."

"Moreover, we must not only deal with the green dragon's claws, but also target the green dragon itself and take away its important wealth and props."

Constantine immediately reacted and asked, "Does Lord Su Li want to send people into the dragon's lair to loot its wealth?"

Knight Orstein replied cautiously, "That's the plan, but it's not easy. Our army has only cleared the western periphery of the Bloodpine Forest, and there is still a distance from the dragon's lair. If we directly send an army to loot it, it will be difficult to do. Therefore, we can only send an adventure team in."

At this time, the halfling hero Ashfield, sitting in the corner of the banquet table, stood up and said, "Lord, if you want to enter the dragon's lair and take the dragon's treasure, perhaps I can help."

Then he spread out his palm, showing a bronze ring with golden runes on his palm: "This is a rune ring I obtained when I was young. It can make friendly parties within three meters enter a state of invisibility."

After speaking, he demonstrated it, putting the ring on the thumb of his left hand, and instantly he and the knight next to him disappeared without a trace.

The key is that even their breathing and heartbeat were shielded.

Su Li and Hilld both had their eyes light up at the same time. If they had this prop, the safety of going to the dragon's lair to retrieve the wealth would be greatly improved.

Hilld immediately asked, "How long can this invisibility effect last? Is there any cost?"

Ashfield took off the ring on his hand, revealing the figures of the people around him, and said, "How long it can be invisible depends entirely on my physical condition. The more abundant my physical strength is, the longer it lasts."

"But during the maintenance period, I will become particularly hungry and must replenish my physical strength in time."

No wonder the halfling hero carries a wild basket with him; he may really need it.

Su Li said with a smile, "I will bring you the most precious food, including fire rabbit meat and light-scale fish meat, to ensure you have plenty of physical strength. Your cost won't be a big problem."

It's a good thing that the characteristic of this ring is related to the halflings' love of food. If it were related to their love of intimacy, it would be a headache.

What if the effect of a certain ring is to enhance their irrepressible desires? That would be troublesome.

Hilld then said, "Lord, I also request to join this team, go to the forest immediately, and strive to return as quickly as possible."

Dogrin also put down his wine glass and muttered, "My friend, how can such an adventure team lack a dwarven ranger? Our wilderness survival experience can make us the best scouts for the team."

A team with a human knight, a halfling hero, and a bearded dwarf can be considered to be initially formed.

When Su Li was thinking about who else to add, the territory's Minister of Agriculture, the elven druid Fandal Oak, said, "Lord, perhaps I can be the last person on this team. A druid can use vines to help the team hide their figures, cover up their aura, open up passages, and, in an emergency, heal wounds. The four of us going will be enough to ensure the team's success rate. At the same time, four people can squeeze into the three-meter invisibility range to avoid tracking."

Su Li frowned slightly and looked at Hilld, asking, "What do you think? Will the pressure be too great?"

Among these four people, there is an old man, two dwarves, and a woman. People who don't know would think it's a team of the old, weak, and disabled...

Moreover, there are not many combatants in it. Only the dwarven ranger is a Champion, but in infiltration activities, their explosive muskets cannot be used.

If they really encounter any danger, it may be difficult to deal with.

Hilld nodded and said, "Lord, I think this is fine. We are infiltrating the dragon's lair. The important thing is to ensure that we hide our aura, not to kill all the way in. If the infiltration goes smoothly, these people are enough. If the infiltration doesn't go smoothly, even a few more Champion-level knights will probably be of no avail."

"That makes sense." So Su Li made a decision and said, "Then the four of you will go to the green dragon's lair, with my high-level chief steward serving as the captain to direct the team's actions."

"After the banquet, immediately arm yourselves fully and head to the Bloodpine Forest overnight. I expect you to return smoothly within a few days. When you bring back the green dragon's treasure, we will send troops to the Gray Mountains to completely drive out the evil demons and cultists."

"All the supplies for this operation will be borne by the territory."

"Oh! Praise my big friend." As soon as Su Li finished speaking, Dogrin couldn't wait to say, "The dwarves need a bottle of troll brew to ensure that their combat power is always at its peak."

Su Li smiled and patted his strong arm and said, "No problem, my friend. As long as you can successfully complete this mission, when you return to the territory, I will give you another barrel of troll brew!"
