Red dragon: in charge of natural disasters

Seeing that people's emotions were rising, Brandon quickly continued to add fuel to the fire, and his voice became louder.

"Everyone present, four hundred years ago, Lord Terry Luckman rode a giant eagle and led our ancestors to come here and established the original North Wind Castle. At that time, there were only three hundred people here."

"In these magnificent four hundred years, we have experienced countless trials and tests of blood and fire. Our ancestors sacrificed their precious lives one after another, so that this majestic city can stand on the earth. This is the responsibility of the people. It is a city with the glorious history of our ancestors, it is also a city that carries our beautiful life, and it is our place.”

"Now, everyone has only one identity - a citizen of North Wind Castle."

"We - we must not let it fall into the hands of the evil dragon!"

Brand's silver sword drew a semicircle in the air.

"For Beifong Castle!"

The mood of the crowd was even higher. After all, they had not seen the enemy yet, but they had just listened to this textbook pre-war speech, and were infected by the count's "true feelings" words.

Looking at the noisy crowd, Earl Brandon gasped slightly and just thought: "I hope they can wait a little longer, preferably until the Duke completes the ceremony."

"For the North Wind Castle! For the North Wind Castle!"

"Kill the dragon! Defend your loved ones!"

People's cheers continued, the soldiers raised their spears high, determined to fight for their daughter's future, the merchants cheered, determined to fight for the happiness of themselves and their wives...

"Roar--"

However, a long roar sounded, interrupting people's cheers.

Everyone felt a kind of fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The flying dragons were densely packed, covering the sky and the light of the sun. They surged from the sky like black tides, making hoarse and noisy roars.

"Damn it, aim the crossbow!"

"Shoot them down!"

However, these monsters flew so high that even the city defense crossbows could not reach them. They just managed to shoot down a relatively low flying dragon, causing it to fall to the ground wailing.

Immediately afterwards, the flying dragon in the sky consciously moved out of the way, and the huge red dragon entrenched itself in the sky, slowly waving its wings.

The red dragon's back was facing the light of the sun, and his body seemed to be surrounded by a circle of flames. Under the influence of the spell, a shadow far larger than his body was projected onto the ground, giving people a strong oppression.

People looked up, looking at the golden vertical pupils that were extraordinarily bright even though they were a hundred meters apart, and couldn't help but think of the rumor that the "Purgatory Natural Disaster" destroyed 30,000 coalition troops with flames.

The soldier's hand holding the spear trembled slightly, and finally it fell to the ground with a clang. Instead, the merchant hid behind his wife and shivered, fearing that the monster in the sky would notice him.

When the terrifying dragon truly arrived, all their previous ambitions were thrown to the winds, and the count's impassioned speech was forgotten.

After all - this is really fatal.

The dragon in the sky actually spoke.

"It's a very good speech, but it's a little too cliche. I thought I was back in the Second Age."

Brandon looked up at the sky. Even though he was a quite powerful warrior, facing the red dragon still made sweat drip down his forehead.

"Evil dragon, don't even think about bewitching the citizens of Beifong Castle!"

Finally he mustered up the courage and roared to the sky.

"Bewitched?"

There was a hint of teasing in Cassius' tone.

"I'm afraid you're talking about yourself. Using these seemingly reasonable but actually nonsense reasons to trick them into working as cannon fodder for the old vampire you are loyal to is really a good plan."

This news had been blocked by the city guards for a long time, but many people already knew it. At this moment, the red dragon finally said it nonchalantly.

Brandon finally couldn't bear it anymore, pointed at the sky and shouted:

"slander!"

"You are completely slandering!"

Cassius ignored them and just projected the image of the blood slave in the bunker into the sky: "Everyone, this is what your beloved Duke did, turning your closest relatives into this kind of blood-sucking person. A beast. Working for a noble is extremely ridiculous, and working for something like this is even more of a joke."

"If you want to continue to be loyal and fight and die for him, then please do so."

A ferocious smile appeared on the red dragon's face.

"But I'm not here to do this, but to inform you of another news - before dusk, if I don't see the city gate open and the white flag waving, then the flames will turn everything here to ashes, regardless of your parents or partners. Whether it’s children or children, it’s the same.”

"Notice--"

"This is not a discussion, this is a notification."

The black wave of the wyvern faded, and the red dragon just disappeared after leaving its last words.

Before leaving, Cassius was still thinking to himself: "Isn't the bard who made up this story a pervert? Am I such an uncouth dragon?"

"Even if you are eating people, you still have to pay attention to basic hygiene. If you do this, even those ogres will find it difficult to swallow..."

"No, we still have to find an opportunity to catch him and torture him severely."

The Red Dragon does not want to destroy this city, known as the "Pearl of the North". This will be his planned future main city for players and the starting point of his empire. Therefore, he adopted the tactics of siege but not attack and threatening propaganda to avoid frontal destruction.

Establishing authority has been achieved after the Battle of Trier. What he needs more next is to stabilize his rule and establish a truly diverse empire.

In the square, Earl Brandon looked grim.

He looked at the restless crowd, at the pair of eyes that were either fearful, restless, or hesitant, and he knew that the next development of the situation was beyond his control.

It must be said that the threat of this red dragon is very convincing, because he has just destroyed 30,000 coalition troops, and Brandon's speech has become conclusive evidence, adding some credibility to the threat of the red dragon.

"The Duke said that we must hold on until night falls."

"This is my mission."

Thinking of this, a fierce look appeared on Earl Brandon's face.

He took off the mask of being "approachable and affable", and looked down at the people with different expressions with an extremely cold and arrogant look, and said coldly: "Dear citizens, please calm down and don't listen to the evil dragon's temptation. "

"Anyone who dares to cause chaos in violation of orders - kill!"

The count's trusted soldiers immediately took control of the scene.

But not only Eagle Square, countless people in the city clearly heard the threat of the red dragon. Their reactions varied. They either hid in their homes and kept silent, or went to the city wall to contact familiar people. Some of them even took action against the grey-robed spies of the Luckman family.

For a time, there was an undercurrent in the city.
