Not long after, the ogres returned to the broken bones Tribe.
Garen stood at the edge of the dragon’s lair, his gaze looking towards the huge mountain range in the South that was as long as a Dragon’s spine.
Due to the frequent appearance of humans recently, as well as the involvement of high-level Wizards and adult silver dragons, he was a little uneasy.
The people that the ogres had caught this time were dressed like Scouts.
After much thought, garen finally decided to head south personally to investigate the situation.
………………
Under the sky of the ice plains of the extreme north, a huge Dragon that was twelve meters long was galloping at an altitude of a thousand meters. A faint cloud of mist wrapped around his body, and he looked like a cloud from the ground.
Garen cautiously used his spell-like ability, Cloud Mist, to hide his body in the clouds.
In that case, when they encountered humans, they would not be detected by detection magic at the first moment.
He had long-range vision, so as long as they hid a little deeper, it would be easy for them to discover them before the other party could discover him.
They left the ice cliff Dragon’s Nest, passed through the abandoned Ice River territory, and crossed the bowl-shaped Ogre basin … The ogres that had just offered their prey to garen had yet to return, but garen had already crossed the ogre basin and flew further south.
Garen looked down from the sky and gradually realized that the location of the ogre basin was on a very suitable path to move. There were no dangerous ice Valley cracks or towering snow mountains in front and behind.
From the looks of it, it was not entirely luck that WUGA shattered bones and the rest had encountered humans so easily.
The broken bones Tribe was located in the South, and they continued to move South when they were hunting. That was the edge of the Northern Ice Field, and the Dragonspine Ridge was just further away.
In addition, if one didn’t know how to fly, many of the steep terrains in the ice plains of the extreme north were not suitable for movement. For creatures like humans and ogres, there weren’t many routes that could be taken.
The humans from the southern countries wanted to enter the icy Plains of the extreme north. Under such circumstances, they were likely to encounter the ogres.
As time passed, garen flew towards the South, and the Dragonspine Ridge in his field of vision gradually became clearer. Under his concentration, he could vaguely see a layer of green dense forest covering the surface of the mountain like a green coat.
Soon, he arrived at the location the ogres had mentioned.
It was near a low Snow Mountain.
To be more precise, it was just a low Snow Hill, like a bump on the flat ground.
In the clouds, garen’s gaze was low as he looked down.
Although he was a thousand meters high in the sky, he could clearly see a rather dilapidated place with traces of battle and frozen blood on the ground due to his long-range vision.
this is the place where the ogres and the human team met.
A three-dimensional map appeared in garen’s mind, and he made a mark here.
Because of his photographic memory, he could clearly remember the places he flew past and the scenery and terrain he saw. A three-dimensional map would gradually form in his mind, and it would become more complete as he explored the world.
As a result, some true dragons had the hobby of traveling the entire continent.
At the same time, garen smelled the scent of a human.
He focused his gaze and flapped his dragon wings. His body quickly rose. When there was nothing blocking his vision, he looked into the distance.
More than ten kilometers away, a group of densely packed black dots that looked like ants were moving slowly but firmly.
Upon closer inspection, one could see that around these dense black spots, there were even smaller black spots that seemed to be exploring the way.
It was a group of fully armed human soldiers, and the scale was not small.
There were about two thousand people.
With a thought, the clouds around him became thicker, as if they had merged into the White sky. Not even a dragon scale could be seen.
Immediately, garen controlled his speed and did not create too violent of an air current as he slowly flew towards the human army.
A human army of this scale … Warriors, spellcasters, priests, and archers would all be present.
In order not to be discovered, garen flew very high. He was surrounded by a sea of clouds, and the sky was as clear as a mirror.
When he was close enough to see the other party’s layout, garen carefully sized up this human army of unknown origin.
It was about the same as what he had expected. There were about two thousand of them, and they were mainly cavalry.
Their mounts were not ordinary beasts. Their bodies had a faint elemental aura and contained the bloodline of magical creatures. They were still in good condition in the cold icy Plains of the extreme north.
These cavalrymen were tall and strong, wearing heavy iron armor, carrying large shields on their backs and swords at their waists. There was no other noise in the entire team except for the sound of their footsteps. The rigorous formation revealed a murderous aura of having experienced hundreds of battles.
Garen saw the badge with a thorn pattern.
This meant that these people were from the mo Xia Duchy.
the human army of the moxia Duchy …
“You’re here for the two dead high mages?”
Garen muttered to himself.
The status of spellcasters had always been high, especially high ranking Wizards.
Most of the time, they were influenced by the bloodline of the country or the bonds of human relationships. It was not easy for a country’s leader to command a high-ranking mage without a suitable reason.
Now, there were two high-level mages who were fighting for the moxia Duchy, but they had lost contact with them in the icy Plains of the extreme north. There was a high probability that they had already died. The moxia Duchy wanted to show that they took this matter seriously. No matter what the outcome was, it was necessary to send an Army to investigate.
If they didn’t do anything, the kingdom of Mosha would be spurned by the entire spellcaster community, and it would continue to decline in the future. On the Noah continent, a country without spellcasters had no right to speak.
With the extremely cold weather of the ice plains of the extreme north, if one were to wear ordinary armor, one would be thankful if they did not freeze to death, let alone March.
What moved garen the most was that the equipment of these Knights were all magic items. There were some runes carved on the heavy iron armor, which emitted a subtle elemental aura.
Although they were standard products, as long as they were magic items, they would be very expensive to make. For a duchy, if they wanted to train an Army of 2000 people, they would have to pay a considerable price of resources.
or perhaps, it’s not just to show their attitude. They seem to have a clear goal.
Garen was deep in thought.
The equipment of these 2000 soldiers was simply too good.
It was only to show their attitude that there was no need to mobilize elites of this level. It was enough to gather a few ordinary soldiers and let them die gloriously in the ice plains of the extreme north.
In addition, there was a Knight in front of the Army who was unusually tall, more than two meters tall, with a Tiger’s back and bear’s waist, and extremely burly.
His entire face was wrapped in a metal helmet, only revealing a pair of dark brown eyes. Garen could feel a faint threat from this Knight.
His armor was engraved with runes, and some places were even inlaid with small magic crystals, which were quite bright.
It was very likely that he was a high-level warrior with a body as tough as steel.
On the Noah continent, other than spellcasters, the other extraordinary power systems were also based on elemental energy, but the methods of use were completely different, and the means were very simple compared to spellcasters.
A high-level warrior could not be compared to a high-level wizard in terms of status or strength.
If it was a high-level wizard, the other party might have already noticed garen’s existence. Wizards had many detection methods, and it was difficult to escape the detection of a high-level wizard just by using the cloud spell.
However, this did not mean that the high-level Warriors were weak.
Among the heavy-armored knights, there were many spellcasters, priests, and other existences mixed in. They constantly cast auxiliary spells to help the Army advance.
There was no one among them that garen was afraid of.
The sudden appearance of such a powerful Army in the Northern Ice Field that was rarely visited by humans made garen slightly shocked.
but, whether it’s the two high-ranking mages who pursued us all the way from the southern dukedom to the icy Plains of the extreme north, or this powerful Army … They’ve already exceeded the scope of pursuit.”
The pursuit was to eliminate the enemy and prevent the other party from retaliating.
However, it was not worth it to mobilize such a high-level Army. If it was just to kill Morton, the price they had paid had far exceeded their gains.
Unless … Molton had something in his hands that they were willing to pay such a high price to get.
Garen moved his tongue and touched the space ring under his tongue.
Red flame staff … There was something wrong with this staff.
What was the source of that faint connection?
