Being caught by a powerful evil dragon might be an extremely tragic experience for these adventurers, a turning point that would affect the trajectory of their lives. However, in the eyes of the evil dragon that the adventurers spoke of, it was nothing more than a change after waking up from a boring sleep, an insignificant interlude in life.
After instructing the Dragon Descendant Leader, Silly Husky, to throw these fellows into the dungeon and let the Battle Lizardmen strip them of all their belongings. Then, he hung them up to see if they could pry anything useful out of their mouths. After that, the Black Dragon returned to the Emerald Palace.
"Caesar, how are you going to deal with these people?"
Only then did Little Luna poke her head out from the thorns on his back. Although Caesar had rushed down from the treetop fortress as soon as he woke up, he did not forget to bring the little fellow along.
Little Luna was a little curious. According to the Big Stupid Dragon's temperament towards outsiders, he would probably kill all these people at this time. It was not that this kind of thing had not happened before. The little fellow had seen it many times and was already somewhat immune to it.
But this time, the Black Dragon Lord's choice seemed to be different.
"How are we going to deal with them?"
The Black Dragon stroked his steel chin and said, "Strip these fellows clean of everything that can be squeezed out of them, and then … let them go."
"Let them go?"
"Of course, we won't just let them go directly. Create a small accident and let them think that they escaped with their own efforts."
Caesar said. He did not explain his intentions to the little fellow. He knew that after this group of people returned to the Northern countries, they would definitely spread the news of the "Dragon Lord"'s cruelty and fierceness, vividly describing the strength of the master of Black Wing's Nest. This would cause a commotion and set off a wide range of discussions.
This was what Caesar wanted.
He remembered that in the names of the trophies that he had received before, there was a black jade trophy called "Newcomer" — Black Jade Grade Magic Resistance.
This fellow's memory had always been good, so he knew that this was actually a reward based on reputation.
Now that the Black Dragon had grown up, he had strength and influence, so he did not need to be afraid of some threats brought about by reputation. He could try to take the initiative to obtain rewards in this regard.
In fact, this fellow had originally intended to let Kaki's shapeshifting monster be in charge of this matter, but after thinking about it, it felt a little like blowing his own trumpet, which made him feel a little embarrassed. Now that a group of adventurers had come, Caesar might as well let these people be in charge of spreading the news of Black Wing's Nest....
If they hadn't coincidentally bumped into the Black Dragon Lord, with the strength of this 25-man team, it would have been impossible for them to even touch the Black Dragon Lord. Hogg, with his Legendary weapon, would have been more than enough to deal with them.
With the awakening of the Black Dragon Lord, Black Wing's Nest, which had been curled up, gradually entered a period of activity. Before this, Hogg was always worried that adventurers would visit Black Wing's Nest and disturb His Majesty's slumber, so he did not dare to disperse his forces.
When Caesar woke up, apart from the Dragon Descendants who had left their guards behind, the remaining members of the Black Wing Clan rapidly expanded their range of activity, surging into the wilderness and Theron Gobi to provide assistance to the grazing Shadow Manticore and the Wild Boar Men who were escorting supplies.
Speaking of grazing, it was worth mentioning that the construction of the underground lake in the wilderness, as well as the drainage and water storage project, had been completed a few days ago. Currently, some small-scale adjustments and monitoring matters were being carried out.
Subsequently, the Black Dragon Lord fulfilled his promise and allowed this clan and the important shapeshifting monsters to join the ranks of the special clans.
Now, Black Wing's Nest had as many as five special clans: the Wild Boar Men, Orcs, Gnolls, Ankhegs, and Shapeshifting Monsters. It seemed a little too many. After all, there were only slightly more than ten clans under Caesar's rule. This ratio was a little ridiculous. If this continued, the significance of the special clans' existence would be weakened.
This was also the reason why Caesar wanted to expand his reputation. Black Wing's Nest needed more clans to join.
As Caesar Ortorunzo Targaryen had almost never appeared in the outside world to commit evil deeds, his actual influence in the Northland was even less than that of Sylvia, the Mother of Poisons. It was very difficult for him to attract the evil clans of the same camp to join him, even though he was known as the "King of Dragons."
Now that Black Wing's Nest was on the right track, the next step of Caesar's plan was to expand his influence.
…
On the other hand, during these three years, Mr. Tiarope and Madam Prynne were extremely anxious.
Luna's parents couldn't believe the chimera Magushir's words. Of course, they didn't believe that their daughter would run over to the side of an evil dragon and become its claws and fangs.
However, the chimeras of the good faction wouldn't lie. This was known to all. After repeated questioning and confirmation, they believed that their daughter must have been coerced. Even if she wasn't coerced, she must have been bewitched by the evil dragon.
No matter what, their daughter wouldn't be willing to stay by the evil dragon's side.
However, subjective denial couldn't solve the objective problem. The most important thing now was to figure out how to rescue their daughter.
After knowing this, Luna's parents were actually a little afraid. This was because in this era, there were no written laws. They didn't know how His Majesty Casia would deal with this if they reported this matter to the Elven King.
After much consideration, Mr. Tiarope didn't dare to report this matter in the end. Instead, he secretly sought out his family and friends, secretly asking for help from other powerful tribes. He asked for some tribes that had the ability to resist the evil power to rescue his daughter.
Although he was on tenterhooks and extremely difficult, the process was unexpectedly smooth. The giant eagles, elven rangers, and chimeras immediately agreed when they heard the forest fairy's request.
As tribes of the good faction, these fellows were all very emotional. They sympathized with the young parents who had lost their beloved daughter. At the same time, they were also incomparably indignant about what had happened to the fairy girl. Before they even met, many of them had already labeled the Black Dragon as evil.
In the end, they thought of a way to sneak out of the Elven Forest while avoiding the Elven King's gaze. These ambitious people were all filled with righteous indignation and were prepared to take the fairy back from the evil dragon.
Less than three days after their departure, however, the men of ambition returned dejectedly.
The situation in Blackwing's Nest was completely different from what the chimera had said. It was completely contrary to what the chimera had said. Not only were the guards there not lax, but they were also rather strict.
The elven rangers tried seven times, but they were discovered by the patrolling demonic hounds every time. In order to avoid a bloody conflict before they saw the fairy, the rangers had no choice but to retreat. In the end, they didn't even see the treetop fortress that the chimera had spoken of, let alone the Emerald Palace and the Black Dragon Lord.
The ambitious people strongly condemned the chimera, but they didn't give up. Thus, they each used their own abilities to ask for help from the more powerful tribes of their respective tribes.
Soon, a new rescue team was quickly formed. This time, there were elven spellcasters, old giant eagles, and strong chimeras. They even found help from unicorns. Thus, they were full of ambition and once again visited Blackwing's Nest.
However, this time, it was even worse.
Due to the spellcasters, the stealth spell "Shadow Following the Body" covered the entire time, allowing the rescue team to successfully avoid the evil dragon's eyes, ears, and fangs, and sneak into the core area of Blackwing's Nest: the treetop fortress.
However, they were soon discovered and immediately besieged.
These foreign tribes that had sneaked into the blockade were immediately determined to be enemies by the flying dragons. Countless flying dragons that had built their nests around the perimeter rioted and immediately launched an attack, their cries incessant.
Following that, the demonic hounds and orcs quickly arrived, completely surrounding these fellows and launching attacks without mercy.
The rescue plan failed once again, and this time, they suffered heavy losses. Half of the nearly fifty members were captured by the evil dragon's kin. Their whereabouts were unknown, and it was unknown whether they were alive or dead. The rest were also forcefully pulled back by the spellcasters who risked their lives.
This was simply terrible.
Mr. Tiarope and Madam Bailanway had never expected things to develop to this stage. They were all ordinary forest fairies, and had never experienced such a battle or dealt with such a huge matter. They were completely flustered and flustered.
With so many tribes gone, it was impossible to keep the matter under wraps. It was passed up layer by layer, all the way to Garcia Whisperwind.
