When the Skeletal Dragon brought its undead army to the Elven Forest, the Blackwing Empire also began a large-scale cleanup of the borders.
Alex's kin were not just for show. This Blue Dragon Tyrant had unified all the clans in the southeast region of the empire. Her subordinates were also ferocious monsters. In terms of one-on-one combat, they were not much weaker than the Black Dragon clan. However, in terms of numbers, they were obviously at a disadvantage. After the Black Dragon took over the North, he had recuperated and no longer expanded. In the last war with the Great Dragons, the Black Dragon clan was almost perfectly preserved.
Without a doubt, if they only relied on conventional forces, the Pentashade Dragons would not be a match for the empire. Of course, Alex was also very clear. However, compared to the North, she also had an unparalleled advantage — high-end forces.
Those old and extremely old Pentashade Dragons that followed her were not something that the clan leaders of the Blackwing Empire could stop.
"Alex."
The Ancient Red Dragon Cadoze, who was known as the Hellfire, stood beside Alex. They stood side by side on the sand tower and looked down. The two of them were almost the same size. "The army of the mutated dragons is expanding wildly. The nearest army is less than half a day's journey away from our real base. Once the mutated dragons find the location of our nest …"
He thought for a while and could not find a good adjective. "It will be very troublesome."
"I know."
The Ancestral Blue Dragon shone brightly under the cover of the wind and sand. His eyes were like crystal clear sapphires. Alex nodded. "But we can't send more troops to stop their advance. The Black Dragon's army is not attacking in a fixed direction. Instead, they are spreading out in all directions. Once the resistance in a certain direction suddenly increases, the mutated dragons should be able to react to the problem very quickly."
Cadoze stared at the Blue Dragon for a few more times. It had to be said that the beauty of the Ancestral True Dragon was far superior to that of ordinary dragons. In terms of the aesthetics of dragons, no matter whether Alex used her dragon body, human body or other forms, she was flawless. Even after reaching the level of an Ancient Dragon, Cadoze's desire to mate had fallen to the freezing point. However, this Red Dragon could not help but lick his lips.
Alex noticed the prying eyes and turned around to glance at the Red Dragon. The warning in her eyes was self-evident.
She was probably one of the outliers among the True Dragons. Unlike the promiscuous nature of the True Dragons, this Ancestral Blue Dragon could be described as chaste. At least until now, Airadia had not heard any news about her mating and reproduction.
In fact, it wasn't that Alex didn't have the natural desire to mate as a dragon, but her standards were quite high. In her opinion, those who had the same strength as her were all old fellows who were thousands of years old and had inferior bloodlines mixed with defective bloodlines. She had just reached adulthood and had just stepped into the best starting point of her dragon life. She didn't want to spend her energy on these useless fellows.
The warning made Cadoze look away in embarrassment. In order to cover up his embarrassment, he chose to continue the previous topic, "Then, what should we do?
It's not realistic for the Pentashade Dragons to migrate en masse, and we can't retreat too far. We'll be discovered sooner or later. "
"Idiot, have you been sleeping all these years?
I'm afraid that the inheritance of the Red Dragon didn't teach you anything. "
Alex raised her chin and looked in front of her, "This place is full of counterspells. Any action that relies on spells or spell-like abilities to scan will only end up with a false image. The Xenomorph Dragons will never discover us in that way. Even if they rely on their naked eyes, they will have to lie on the ground and observe carefully."
"What we need to do now is to divert the attention of the Xenomorph Dragons elsewhere.
Now, the Pentashade Dragons need a military operation. We need to attack decisively and kill their kin in the cruelest way possible. "
As she spoke, the traces of the gray horses and the orcs appeared in front of Alex's eyes. They were moving in this direction, "— but not toward this troop."
"What do you mean?" Cadoze was a little confused.
"Here."
Alex raised her claw and a bird's eye view of the entire north of Airadia appeared in the void. She pointed in a direction that was far away from the Pentashade Dragons' lair and said, "Launch an attack at this place, destroy all the troops in this direction, and then retreat in the opposite direction.
The Xenomorph Dragons themselves don't know magic, but if the spellcasters under their command are good enough, they should be able to trace the direction of the attackers' retreat … I believe that the so-called Empire of the Xenomorph Dragons still has the ability to do so. "
Cadoze's tone seemed to have understood, "You're worried that they won't go to the Elven Forest to provide support, so you still want to lure them out?"
"Yes."
"As you said, it's not difficult for an old dragon to destroy some of the Catfish Army, but how can we ensure that the attackers can escape safely?
You and I both know how cruel the Xenomorph Dragons are. If they're targeted and bitten to death, the true dragons who are carrying out the mission will have a hard time surviving. "Cadoze pointed out.
"Indeed, but for Her Majesty Tiamat's goal, it's worth it."
The Ancestral Blue Dragon's voice was clear and cold.
"No, no, no, Alex, I think you've misunderstood."
Cadoze shook his tail. The Pentashade Dragons were all selfish and evil creatures. How could they care about the lives of other dragons? He explained, "What I mean is, we all know the risks of this mission very well. How can you make other dragons willing to carry out this mission?
Everyone is here for Tiamat's goal, but no Pentashade Dragons are willing to risk their lives for this mission. "
"You've misunderstood as well. It's just that there's a certain amount of risk, and it's not that we're risking our lives."
Alex turned to look at the Red Dragon and said, "And the stronger the attacker, the lower the risk."
Cadoze looked at her for a while and reacted after a while, "You want me to go?"
"You've dealt with the Black Dragon before and stayed in its territory for a while. You have a good understanding of its strength and the structure of its followers."
Alex nodded and said, "You're the best candidate."
The Red Dragon Cadoze's eyes turned red. Being captured by the Black Dragon when he attacked a gnoll was his greatest shame. It was also a painful memory that he did not want to talk about even now.
The atmosphere suddenly became cold. The powerful Ancient Red Dragon remained silent, but his Draconic Aura was slowly rising. His body was also burning because of the magic flowing through his blood.
In response, Alex responded with a calm gaze.
After a while, the Red Dragon gritted his teeth and said, "What I've received is not enough for me to take such a risk. I need more compensation."
"You want the True Blood of the Evil Dragon Mother to improve your Ancestral Bloodline."
Alex said casually, "As long as you complete the task assigned to you, Her Majesty Tiamat will not be stingy with her gift."
"Okay."
Dragons were born unequal. If Cadoze knew that Caesar had only said a few words and received a drop of Tiamat's True Blood, and that he had to take such a huge risk, what would he think?
