Dragon Clan: The strongest strategist, let the Dragon Clan reach the top of the world

【Wismar City】

-

A man stood on the city wall, his cold and solemn eyes staring closely in the direction of the Corunna Forest in the distance.

Mars.

The real nominal master of this city is also the only city lord in this city. He dominates almost everything in this city, including military, politics, market, law... He has the final say in everything.

Although on the surface, the Kingdom of Nolan is a monarchy.

But in fact, the various city fiefdoms are basically all governed by their lords in a country-like feudal manner.

at this time.

Jerome, a lieutenant-general in armor, took the initiative and hurried to Mars' side and reported respectfully.

"Lord City Lord, it has been several days since Mr. Joyce, Miss Susan, and Mr. Carlisle's mercenary group entered the Corunna Forest. So far, there has been no news and no movement. My subordinates venture to guess that they may be We're in trouble... and it's such a big trouble that we can't even send back the envoys asking for help."

Mars heard this.

He sighed deeply and nodded silently.

Jerome continued to ask.

"Lord City Lord, should we provide appropriate search, rescue and assistance?"

"Immediately send three hundred investigators to the Corunna Forest, go straight to the place where the dragon fell, and investigate... We must find out where the mercenary group has gone!"

"Yes!"

"Remember, if you encounter difficulties, return immediately and formulate a rescue plan based on the specific situation. Do not act without authorization."

"Please rest assured, City Lord."

It can put more than a hundred powerful mercenaries into trouble.

Mars felt uneasy...

to be frank.

In fact, he didn't care about the life and death of those mercenaries at all, and he had to send his own soldiers to risk their lives to rescue these mercenaries, which was really not worth the gain.

Even if all the mercenaries died, he didn't care.

What he really cares about...

It was Count Amelia who was behind that gang of mercenaries. If this mission failed and Count Amelia was blamed, he, the city lord, would probably be more or less responsible.

Damn...it's so frustrating.

late at night.

Mars was drinking tea in his city lord's mansion. His head had been aching for the past two days. The blond maid standing behind him was carefully rubbing her master's temples, hoping to relieve her master's pain.

"Master, it's already very late, it's time for you to rest."

"The King's sixtieth birthday is getting closer and closer. A large number of foreign businessmen are frequently entering and exiting Wismar City. There are still many foreign trade disputes that need to be dealt with urgently. In addition..., each city has to recruit a large number of birthday banquets. Materials, donated to the king."

A lot of trouble.

It made Mars' whole head split.

The blonde maid said softly.

"No matter how tired you are, you should rest. Let Ivy help you go to bed? It can also help you... relax and relax, how about it?"

"I'm not in the mood right now."

"Master~"

"Shut up."

"Yes."

at this time.

Suddenly there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the door. Lieutenant General Jerome pushed the door open and came in with a panic look on his face. He shouted loudly as soon as he came in.

"It's not good, Lord City Lord, it's not good, it's something serious!"

When Mars saw this, his heart immediately tightened.

He instantly pushed away the blond maid Ivy who was clinging to her shoulder and asked loudly.

"What happened? You're so panicked!"

"Reporting to the Lord of the City, the reconnaissance team we sent out was suddenly attacked by a large-scale monster after gradually entering the Corunna Forest. The entire team suffered heavy losses and was almost wiped out."

"What did you say!!!--"

Mars snapped and stood up.

He scolded Yu Dao angrily.

"Didn't I tell you to avoid fighting as much as possible and just do reconnaissance?"

"Lord City Lord, that large group of magical beasts is extremely weird. They are almost as if they were ambushed in advance. As soon as our investigators approach, they will suddenly be violently besieged from all directions. Even when the troops are fleeing and disintegrating, there are The monsters were lying in ambush there, and they came from all directions like a tidal wave. Our reconnaissance troops were unprepared and caught off guard. In an instant, they were beaten without armor and suffered heavy casualties."

"What happens after that!!!"

"The group of monsters were besieging them on all sides, pursuing them fiercely. It was not like an angry counterattack because their territory was invaded, but more like hungry wolves driving away the sheep. They gradually gathered all our retreating troops together and launched It was a bloody massacre. - Of the more than 300 investigators, only three of us who fought desperately to break out were left."

To the end.

Lieutenant General Jerome couldn't help but look sad, and he knelt down and screamed, his heart ached unbearably.

"What did you say!!!!!!!"

Hear the bad news.

Mars was instantly so angry that he was almost incoherent.

"This is simply unreasonable! There are more than 300 people, and there are more than 300 investigators from our army. What kind of monster is this that dares to do such a cruel thing!"

"I heard from the three survivors that they were the saw-toothed piranha in the Corunna forest. There was actually a Kao at the head, and its strength reached the level of an intermediate monster. The Kao drove away all the retreating investigators. They gathered together, then suddenly appeared, and fought their way into it, as if they were in an uninhabited land, killing all of us until we fell on our backs, leaving corpses everywhere."

"A mere saw-toothed piranha actually dares to be so arrogant."

Mars grabbed the teapot on the table and threw it to the ground.

Snapped!

A large number of teapot crumbs were scattered on the floor, and the hot tea was splashed all over the carpet, steaming.

Mars was furious.

"In the past decades, our city of Wismar has never suffered such a disastrous defeat. Pass my order and immediately mobilize 20,000 defenders in the city. Give me a mighty force and attack the Corunna Forest. I must make those sawtooths eat. People and flowers, pay the price!!!”

"Yes, I obey!"

"A group of lowly beasts have actually begun to learn to be hunters. They deserve it too!"

"Lord City Lord, the saw-toothed piranhas have always had a low IQ. Even under the leadership of the Kao King, they suddenly did such a weird thing. Is there someone behind this who is using these saw-toothed piranhas to plot against us? ?”

"Even if there is some conspiracy, Wismar City has dispatched 20,000 troops. Let me see if they have any conspiracy. Kill all the saw-toothed piranhas in the Corunna Forest and leave no one behind!"

"Yes!--"

"Twenty thousand troops are in your hands. If anything goes wrong again, come and see us!"

"Please rest assured, City Lord."

-

Two days have passed.

-

Day three.

Lieutenant General Jerome came to the city lord's palace again and came to Mars' office.

"See the Lord of the City."

"Get up quickly and report the situation."

"According to your Lord's order, I led the army deep into the Corunna Forest. Along the way, I cut through thorns and thorns, and destroyed countless low-level monsters, ordinary monsters, and even a few intermediate monsters. They were in front of our army..., Just like ants, defenseless."

"Hahaha, good! Good! This is how those beasts should live!"

"only……"

"Huh? Just nothing."

"In all the actions, no trace of the saw-toothed piranha was found. They seemed to have evaporated in an instant and disappeared without a trace."

"What!--"

Mars was speechless.

He replied angrily, "Then you have the nerve to come back. With so many people, you can't even catch a saw-toothed piranha?"

"Sir, please calm down. Although we did not destroy the Sawtooth Piranha, under such a large-scale carpet search, we..., we..."

"Why are you hemming and hawing? If you have anything to say, just say it."

"We found the remains of Mr. Joyce, Miss Susan, and Mr. Carlisle..."

"Legacy..."

Mars looked stunned.

The body that originally stood up due to excitement slowly sat back on the sofa. His expression was not good-looking.

"So... those mercenary groups... are all gone?"

"We can only find the remains of fifty-seven people. As for the rest, their whereabouts are unknown, I'm afraid they are all gone..."

"Tell me where you found it, how you found it, and what were the results of the investigation."

Compared to the deaths of more than 300 of our own people.

When talking about the life and death of these mercenary groups, Mars seemed much calmer.

Lieutenant General Jerome reported.

"We found them in Rosas Rift."

"Rosas Rift?"

"Yes, sir, there is only a dilapidated suspension bridge at the entrance of this place, and it has been damaged, and the remains of Mr. Joyce and others... are on the edge of the abyss opposite, not so much the remains... It’s better to say it’s a wreck.”

"wreckage?"

"On the opposite cliff, a whole row of heads were beheaded and hung on sharp wooden stakes, allowing countless birds and insects to nibble and bite them. All of them had begun to rot in large areas. The scene was horrible to watch. , shocked the whole army."

"Is there such a thing!?"

"Sir, I'm afraid this is no longer something that a simple monster can do."

Mars, who heard this, also believed that it was true.

He sat on the sofa, thinking.

-

a long time.

Only then did he speak again.

"Withdraw all troops in the Corunna Forest immediately."

"Ah? What, withdraw troops?"

"Do you think... who did this?"

"This... I don't know, my subordinates, but Mr. Joyce and the others were chasing the dragon clan. Did they anger the falling dragon, so they were all killed?"

"When a giant dragon gets angry, it can at most be shattered into pieces, but have you ever seen a giant dragon that would cut off so many people's heads, line them up in a row, and hang them there? What's the purpose of doing this... and why?"

"Sir, is this...?"

"Yes, they are demonstrating to us. They are telling us what will happen if we chase the fallen dragon."

"Then why are we withdrawing our troops?"

"Stupid! - Who knows if those madmen still have some backup plan? Those weird saw-toothed piranha plants may have been ordered by the instigator. They calculated that we would not get the news and would send people to investigate, so That’s why we specially laid a dragnet.”

"What? What kind of person is he who can command the monsters in the Corunna Forest, so he can be so obedient and be used by him?"

Jerome was puzzled.

So is Mars.

"It doesn't matter who the person behind you is anymore. Pass the order and withdraw the entire army to protect the city of Wismar."

"Yes."

"In addition, send an envoy to tell Lord Amelia the truth about this matter, as well as the senior officials of the mercenary guild in the royal capital. If such a thing happens, it has nothing to do with us in Wisma City. Let them Make your own decision.”

"Sir, what should I do with the remains of Mr. Joyce and others...?"

"Whoever wants to handle it, let him/her do it. What if there is an ambush over there, and our army goes deep in, is caught off guard, and is ambushed again? Even if 10,000 mercenary groups died over there, it doesn't concern us. It’s not worthy of our soldiers to risk their precious lives for them!”

"My subordinate understands."

"Finally..., release the news and make all the situation of the mercenary group known to the public."

"what?"

"If anyone is interested in this matter, let them go to the Corunna Forest to investigate as much as they can. It would be best if they get the result. If they die there, it has nothing to do with us."

To the end.

Mars picked up the red wine glass next to him and shook it gently. The deep red color of the red wine was reflected in his eyes, and several sharp and cruel looks flashed through his eyes.

Jerome understood immediately.

-

-

In the next few days, the tragic situation of the mercenary group, through the propaganda of the city guard, shocked the entire city of Wismar.

For a while.

Almost everyone is talking about the tragedy of the destruction of the Twelve Mercenary Regiments with different opinions.

Some say it was the dragons who became angry and slaughtered them with blood.

Some say that traitors took the opportunity to attack and steal the treasure.

Some say it is a mysterious force that obstructs and confuses the public.

It is also said that a super monster that combines wisdom and strength appeared in the Corunna Forest, and it was ready to use this demonstration to make a name for itself.

No matter how.

At least for a short period of time, this incident shocked everyone. In a short period of time, no human race dared to set foot in the Corunna Forest easily.

There was even an official notice posted in the city of Wismar.

Let unrelated people try not to get close to the Corunna Forest, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences.

-

the other side.

Kao is still staying in the territory, waiting comfortably for the next batch of human dinners to come over, and has thrown himself into the trap.

As a result, the report from his subordinates made him extremely depressed.

"What did you say? All the humans ran away? There is no longer a human race at the border of the Corunna Forest?"

"This human race is too timid!"

"It seems that Lord Mo Feng still overestimated them. I never expected that the human race would abandon the corpses of their companions and withdrew all their troops out of fear of death. And all of a sudden no one dared to come. It was really disappointing."

Kao Nannan complained to herself.

The countless tribesmen in front of them were still dancing and expressing their thoughts.

Kao whipped out a leaf, causing one of the saw-toothed piranhas to become dizzy.

it cursed.

"What did Master Mo Feng say before he left, let us reap the benefits when we have the chance, and conserve our strength without any chance. Why, you still want to run out of the Corunna Forest and confront the human race head-on? You don't want to live anymore. ?”

"Now, pass on my order. All clan members must stay at home."

"What are you talking about, the bridge hasn't been repaired yet?"

"We won't repair it for the time being. Let's check the situation first. Wait for a while and confirm it is safe before repairing the bridge."

"Sir Mo Feng said that we must protect our own lives in everything we do. Guess...why did Mr. Mo Feng specifically tell us that?"

"Hehehe..., I know you don't know, you are a bunch of brainless idiots, idiots."

"In addition to Lord Mo Feng himself being super gentle and considerate, Lord Mo Feng will definitely have other more important things that need our help in the future, so let us preserve our strength as much as possible and don't be too smart and destroy our future."

"You guys, please learn more. Don't stay up all day and just eat. Only by using your brain more can you eat more... and more delicious food."

Kao at the clan meeting.

Slowly convey your experience to these idiot tribesmen, let them learn to think more and learn to use their brains.

A large group of saw-toothed piranhas were shaking their heads and dancing wildly, thinking they were right.
