Food Reserves on the Dragon's Back

"It's not surprising that humans have always been more sacrificing for the group or for others than we are," Saranal said.

"If it was sacrificed for other humans, I can understand it, but we are almost sure that this spy was sent by the orcs. Not only because of the secret letter written in the code language of the orcs, you also once said, who Whoever benefits the most is most likely to be the mastermind behind the scenes. Now that the dragons and humans are facing a split, this is not a good thing for any human force, and only the orcs have benefited a lot from it." Xuefeng sighed, "We underestimated the enemy. We always thought they were just a group of barbarians with simple minds and well-developed limbs, but now even you have begun to learn human conspiracy. Although the orcs are relatively stupid, they can learn after all."

"You are right. We have to be more careful in the future. There are many humans in the orc territory. Although their status is as low as slaves, as long as they are given enough benefits or are caught, they will also work for the orcs. Yes." Sarannar agreed, "I have another question. In this matter, is the smiling hand just watching from the sidelines and not playing its due role?"

"This is another bad news I want to tell you, Salanar, your smiling hand has been split from the inside, and it is basically paralyzed now." Xuefeng said, "We also know that the Dragon Worship The structure is loose, the quality of personnel is low, and it is useless, but the smiling hand is built by you with a lot of effort and effort, and you place high hopes on it. When you are here, rely on your wrist and powerful The deterrence is under control, and many problems have not been exposed yet, but as soon as you disappear, they immediately fell apart. The Dragon Worship has become a mess, and many key members have betrayed us openly or secretly. What about the believers at the bottom? It’s even more difficult to say. Some people in the smiling hand, together with the fanatics of Dragon Worship, are determined to agree with me as the new leader, while the other part wants to take this opportunity to break away from the control of Dragon Worship and Dragon Clan and set up a completely independent organization The two sides are now fighting fiercely, and Barristan can no longer control the situation, and he dare not even return to the headquarters of the smiling hand, for fear of being assassinated by those who oppose him."

"No wonder he would live in Silas's house. I heard from Silas that he was not very willing to find me at first, and then he became more and more active. I guess it was because he finally found out that he was powerless. "

"It's easy to control humans and work hard, but it's very difficult to get their true loyalty. So far, I've seen people who really don't care about life and death for the dragons, only your knight."

"It's a pity that he is not purely loyal to me. This has no reference value for other dragons." Sarannar said, "Is there any other worse news?"

"There is nothing special about it. Now Prince Alista of Testara is trying to win us over, and Andorcia officials want to reach a settlement with us at any cost, but the spies from the orc clan are obviously not acting alone. Yes, they must have sent a lot of people to lurk in Andorcia, and now they have created a terrible trend of public opinion among the people. Now those ordinary people who listen to the wind are more afraid of the dragons than the orcs, almost to the point where they would rather Burned, killed and looted by the Giant Eagle Knight, and insisted on driving the Dragon Clan away."

"I really underestimated those green-skinned savages, but I still feel that such a series of human-style schemes is not something that an orc's brain can come up with."

"I think you guessed right." Xue Feng said, "According to the news we have recently received, the great chief has just appointed a human military advisor. I believe that this 'military advisor' came to him by no means on the first day."

"Humans have learned to use conspiracy, and orcs have learned to use humans." Sarannar chuckled, "I still underestimated them. What is King Heather's attitude now?"

"He is trying to control the public opinion situation, but I doubt he can do it."

"Pay more attention to him from now on. The human king's power largely comes from the support of the people. If he is really against the people in the end, and some people who want to rebel provoke a civil war against the king and the dragons, Even if he knew that this was a conspiracy of the orc clan, he might break with the dragon clan in order to appease public anger."

"Well, I understand." Xuefeng nodded, "Although we still can't take you back, but with your mind, many things are much easier. You are truly indispensable to us, so please You must take care of yourself and don't take such risks again."

"There are mistakes, and I will be more careful next time." Sarannar said helplessly.

When the golden dragon Ma Kailin who brought them something came to the island, they had already left the place where Sarannar fell and moved to a cave halfway up the mountain.

This island is a volcanic island, and there is a large forest near the sea. If you go to a higher mountain, you will find that the terrain here is quite similar to the top of the dragon, and there are no shortage of caves and hot springs.

Silas had already found a cave that was barely habitable in the process of foraging and exploring in the early days, but it wasn't until not long ago that Saranar, who had broken many bones, could barely stand up and move.

Being able to live in a cave is of course much better than living in the wild. At least when it rains, Silas doesn’t have to hide under Sarannar’s outstretched wings. But before Makailin came, they still lived a life similar to that of wildlings.

Under Silas' persistent cutting of hypnotic flowers, the hypnotic fog on the island has dissipated a lot, so thin that even if Silas leaves the torch for more than ten minutes, he just feels a little sleepy, but out of caution, Mackay Lin still held his breath until he landed next to the fire at the entrance of the cave.

Silas was chopping a coconut with his blunted sword, and he looked up expectantly at the package brought by the golden dragon, hoping that Salanar would remind them to bring a useful new weapon.

Not only the sword, but his clothes are also more torn than before. This kind of fabric is not designed to deal with the scraping of branches in the woods. In addition, his hair has grown a lot, which makes him feel uncomfortable, Dragon The knight never had long hair, which would be bad for flying, and his beard was hard to shave because the sword was getting blunt, which made him feel like a wild man.

This mule with the most noble blood in the world not only carried a large bag on its paws, but also used space magic to pour out a pile of items from its limited space, including tents, sleeping bags, brand new clothes, simple daily necessities, and even the corpses of a dozen dead cows, deer, and the like.

Salanar stored the food in his own space, where the shelf life of the food can be greatly extended, at least half a month longer.

Then Makailin chatted with Sarannar in dragon language, and then used a healing magic on Sarannar, and the golden dragon that completed the mission of the mule flew away.

Silas, who couldn't understand the dragon language, couldn't get in the conversation anyway, so he went to sort out the pile of things, and when Makailin left, he complained: "Why do you even have a cabinet? Are you still planning to stay here?" Will you stay for a long time?"

"Of course not, but this place can be a good refuge and secret base." Sarannar followed his busy back, "Are you in a hurry to go back?"

"I'm still very worried about the things on the top of the dragon. The dragons won't really break with humans, right?" Silas erected the cabinet and moved it to the corner of the irregularly shaped cave. He found several new sets of clothes in the closet, and he took out one and compared it to him, and it was the right size for him.

"Of course, as long as I am the leader, I will try to avoid this kind of thing from happening," Sarannar said.

"Would human beings want to break with the dragon clan?" Silas took out two sleeping bags from the pile, and patted the ashes aside.

"I hope they won't be so stupid. Without the help of the dragons, the human city walls are as fragile as wooden fences in the face of the attack of the giant eagle knights." Sarannar said.

"...The current situation is really helpless." Silas looked at Sarannar and said, "But I believe that you should be able to handle this."

"It's good to have such confidence in me, but I can only say that I will try my best."

Silas sorted out some messy things, and tried to set up the tent. Usually, two people work together to set up a tent. It was still difficult for him to do it alone. Sarannar turned himself into a The doll came over to help him.

Silas stared at him blankly, disregarding the matter at hand, unable to move his eyes and said, "You...your body has recovered?"

Salanar once said that when the body is not in good condition, the Dragon Clan cannot transform.

"It's almost there, and it will be fine as long as you rest for half a month." Salanar wanted to remind Silas to set up the tent first, but Silas had already left behind the work at hand and came over to hug him. Sarannar lived.

"Silas..."

"Let me hold you for a while, please." Silas buried his head on his shoulder, took a deep breath, looked up at his face, and said nostalgicly, "I miss you so much."

Sarannar looked at him strangely: "I've been here all the time, haven't I?"

"But I miss you like this. It feels like I haven't seen you in my life." Silas looked at his face obsessively. That feeling of surprise when we first met.

Sarannar smiled, and leaned forward to kiss him.

This nostalgic soft touch made Silas hug him and refused to let go. Originally, he just wanted to temporarily comfort his missing, but once he kissed him, he couldn't stop.

In the end, Silas was pressed against the cave wall by Sarannar, and his voice sounded breathless: "I want you."

"Me too." Sarannar said with a smile, "do it."

"Um……"
