Chapter 406 The Dragon Pair on the Top of the Volcano
The unexpected arrival of the torrent dragon disrupted Count Merlin’s patrol plan of the Dragon Blood Knights, and he had to return home to meet the torrent dragon.
“Russell, you are escorting the Dragon Blood Knights back to the Populus euphratica desert for a while. I am going to the Red Fort to prepare for a welcoming ceremony.”
“Grandpa, please.”
“Although the torrent dragon has arrived and the snow giant Da Da must be dormant, you still can’t be careless.”
“yes.”
Two days later, the Dragon Blood Knights returned to the Populus euphratica Desert and no longer needed Russell to protect them.
Therefore, he was forced to stay in Huyang Castle by Baron Gervidas and was warmly entertained for one night. Early the next morning, he rode the black oil dragon Rosey to the Red Castle.
Now that he had a distinguished status, he had unimpeded access to the Red Castle and landed directly in Count Merlin’s independent small castle.
Only then did I realize that Marquis Arnaud was also there.
“Your Excellency Russell.” Marquis Arnold has become more and more enthusiastic about Russell since he saw Russell’s secret, the Sword of Thunder.
“Sir Arnold.” Russell stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man, and Russell responded with a smile.
“Russell, you’re back. The Dragon Blood Knights have settled down?” Earl Merlin stretched out his hand to signal Russell to take a seat.
“Already settled.”
“Yes.” Earl Merlin nodded, and then said, “Your Excellency Arnold is here today as the envoy of the Torrent Dragon to have necessary communication with me and discuss the joint defense of the Snow Giant between the two countries.”
“That’s right.” Marquis Arnold said, “Snow Giant Da’s various behaviors have attracted the attention of His Majesty the King, so the Torrent Dragon has been sent to help the Shadow Flame Dragon and the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy to resist the Snow Giant Da.”
Russell narrowed his eyes and already understood that the Kingdom of Blazing Torrent might have to change its policy towards the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame.
The kingdom’s previous methods were nothing more than to indulge the Snow Giant Da and force the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy to bow its head until the annexation was completed.
But now, it seems that the persecution of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy has been suspended and the focus has been on helping.
“The reason must be because of the snow giant’s reach.” Russell secretly thought that according to the battles between humans and snow demons for so many years, the snow demon has no IQ at all, the snow demon also has a low IQ, and even the snow giant’s IQ is limited.
However, Snow Giant Da’s methods in the battle of the Second Fall, as well as various sneak attacks after his arm was broken, clearly showed that his IQ has been greatly enhanced.
A stupid snow giant, no matter how powerful it is, there is no need to be afraid.
But a smart snow giant is a great threat. After all, the snow giant has endless snow fields as its backing.
In a war of attrition, humans are no match for the snow giants.
Kill a flying dragon knight today, kill a bipedal flying dragon tomorrow, and within three to five years, the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy will collapse.
“Merlin is grateful for your country’s help, but the specific aid strategy needs the approval of His Highness Shadow Flame.” Earl Merlin said.
Marquis Arnold’s smile did not diminish: “This is natural. Count Merlin and I will discuss it first, and then His Highness Hongliu will personally negotiate with the Shadow Flame Dragon. Only in this way can we reach the necessary assistance plan, and both parties will benefit from the cooperation.”
At that moment, Earl Merlin and Marquis Arnold had a detailed discussion.
It covers everything from how the torrent dragons garrisoned the Grand Duchy of Shadowflame to the tax-free share of corn and wheat.
Russell listened quietly, which was also a kind of learning.
Sooner or later, he will have to govern his own country, and it will inevitably involve these common affairs.
“But… Marquis Arnold seems to have become tougher again.” Russell has been observing Marquis Arnold’s demeanor.
Ever since he used the Mysterious Sword of Thunder, Marquis Arnold had been keeping a low profile for a while. However, with the arrival of the Torrent Dragon today, Marquis Arnold had changed his low-key style and returned to the arrogant and arrogant Marquis of the Kingdom.
“The method used last time was too gentle.” Russell sighed silently, but he had no intention of looking for trouble again.
There is no other reason.
Russell had to be careful even when facing the crippled Snow Giant Da, not to mention facing a giant dragon in its prime – even if the dragon left its volcanic warm land, its power would be compressed by the snowfield, it would still be invincible.
Picking up the teacup, Russell silently took a sip of tea: “When the torrent dragon is gone, I will have a nice drink with Mr. Arnold.”
The exchange of words lasted for more than an hour.
Many details were finally reached through discussions between Earl Merlin and Marquis Arnaud, and the atmosphere became lively again.
During the banquet at noon, Russell asked out of curiosity: “Sir Arnold, where is the Torrent Dragon? Why didn’t I see it near Shadow Flame Volcano?”
“His Royal Highness Hongliu is in the Fire Ant Swamp at the moment. This is the volcano of the Shadow Flame Dragon after all. His Highness Hongliu will not disturb it easily.” Marquis Arnold said, unless they come to snatch hope, the dragons will not invade each other.
Shadowflame Volcano is the territory of the Shadowflame Dragon, so the Torrent Dragon naturally retreats and only stays in the warm enclave on the edge.
After a pause, Marquis Arnold continued: “Of course, after getting the approval of the Shadow Flame Dragon, His Highness Hongliu will visit the Shadow Flame Mountain again and discuss with the Shadow Flame Dragon in person how to deal with the crisis in the Snow Giant.”
And indeed it is.
After the lunch banquet, Earl Merlin reported the results of the negotiations with Marquis Arnaud to the Shadow Flame Dragon in the afternoon.
In the evening, with a “Hum” cry that shocked the world, a torrent dragon with blue light flashing between the gaps in its scales flapped its wings that covered the sky, flew from the northwest, and fell directly onto the shadow fireworks. On the crater of Mt.
“roar!”
The Shadow Flame Dragon also let out a roar that shook the earth, then slowly flew up from the magma, and then landed on the other side of the crater.
The two behemoths were squatting on both sides of the crater, facing each other from a distance.
At the same time, many flying dragon knights and fantasy beast knights flew or ran over and arrived at the crater.
Russell participated in it as a Baron of Thunder Flame and a deputy knight of the Dragon Blood Knights.
However, the M-shaped mark on his palm has been completely silent, and the connection with Xiao Menglong has been completely severed. Obviously, in order to escape the perception of the torrent dragon, Xiao Menglong has fallen into a complete sleep without revealing a breath.
Coupled with the protection of the Shadow Flame Dragon, it can barely let the Torrent Dragon sense its existence.
Without the protection of the Shadow Flame Dragon, Russell would not dare to appear in front of the Torrent Dragon casually with the mark of Little Dream Dragon.
Gurgling.
Crash.
Two strange magical dragon words sounded.
One is the magical dragon language of the shadow flame dragon, like lava bubbling; the other is the magical dragon language of the torrent dragon, like waves crashing on the coast.
The two giant dragons were constantly communicating in dragon language across the crater.
Without the communication of the M-shaped mark, Russell could no longer understand dragon language. Fortunately, Lord Welch, the volcano minister, occasionally translated the conversations between the two dragons and informed the senior ministers and dragon knights involved in the negotiations on the progress.
“His Royal Highness Hongliu expressed his hope to build the Torrent Scale Tower on the seven warm enclaves so that it can transfer power with the help of the Torrent Scale Tower.”
“His Royal Highness Shadow Flame objects. He only wants to build the Torrent Scale Tower in the Fire Ant Swamp, while the other Torrent Scale Towers will be built on the snowfield.”
“His Royal Highness Hongliu said that it can take a step back, but in addition to the fire ant swamp, it also wants to build a Torrent Scale Tower on the newly born Thunder Fire Land.”
“Your Highness Yingyan firmly disagrees.”
“His Royal Highness Shadow Flame gave in and said that the Torrent Scale Tower cannot be built on the Black Fire Land, but the Torrent Scale Tower can be built in Leize.”
“His Royal Highness Hongliu is pleased…”
