"Why do I feel that this proportion is more harmonious?" Darkus asked himself as he pointed at the rubbing.
"Yes, sir, this looks...stronger?" Renn said with some doubts. After all, this was also the first time he saw a wild dragon.
"You draw it again, and draw it into a squatting posture according to the current proportions." As Darkus said, he handed the rubbing back.
Whether it’s the dragon from Ulthuan, the black dragon from Naggaroth, the red dragon from the old world, or the dragon from other places, it doesn’t matter what kind or level it is. The most basic characteristics are the slender neck and limbs and the huge body and wings.
However, the Savage Dragon is different. The proportions of the neck have been obviously adjusted. Compared to the Giant Dragon, which is thicker and shorter, the limbs have also become thicker, but the proportions have been elongated.
Renn quickly drew a concept map, and the result was just as Darkus expected.
The elongated limbs of the wild dragon can achieve postures that the giant dragon cannot do at all, such as squatting, such as... waving its forelimbs. A sturdy dragon with wings and a long tail, standing on its hind legs and waving its forelimbs to hit the target... This scene is too hard to imagine.
"What kind of giant dragon?" Darkus thought, and it had to be said that the Ancient Saint had full skills in biomodification. But again, that's a bit wishful thinking.
Dragon: Ah, before you came, we were living well. As a result, the weather got warmer after you came, but we also learned breathing and magic, which can be considered compensation. But what is going on with this transformation that directly changes the species? ?
Dragons are an integral part of this world, maybe? Build a dragon lair in the Beast Peak in the middle of Albion Island, like the Dragonspine Mountains of the Caledor Kingdom of Ulthuan? Get all the giant dragons from the old world? The Kingdom of Nagaryth does have mountains, but they are all craters. After the Earth Collapse, Nagaryth was not that big. Unless, like what we saw in the ruins before, we restart a big plan to build mountains and reclaim the sea to expand the kingdom in the outer ring of Ulthuan?
Then the follow-up questions come one after another. There are many unhatched dragon eggs in Nagaros now. These dragon eggs are no different from stones. Even if they can be hatched by black magic, they belong to the blooming of the old tree. The ownership rights of the hatched ones are who? And is the hatched dragon twisted by black magic?
How did the dragon from the old world get to Albion Island? When someone is sleeping well, you can't go to someone else's lair and say: I see you are in trouble, why don't you come with me?
Darkus knew about the two-headed chaos dragon Balderos. Balderos was not called this name before, but was called "Splitwing" Splinterwen. He was a powerful red dragon. According to time, The point should now be in the Gray Mountains where Bretonnia meets Athel Loren.
And then...one day, Splinterwen's life was disrupted, because a group of knights errant came to slay the dragon in the name of the Lady of the Lake...
When Darkus returned to Krakaronde for the first time, I found a copy of "Unknown Dragon Slaying Compendium" in the market. The illustration shows the scene of Lord Bretonnia fighting the dragon.
"Many knights of the Kingdom of Bastogne have this image, as it dates back to the time of Gilles the Unifier. It was he who killed the dragon Schmaig who plagued the Kingdom of Bastogne. , the first to use the dragon as his symbol." The tragic knight Kalad once said.
There is a saying in Bretonnia about dragon slaying. The first dragon slayer of the Kingdom of Bastogne was also the founding king of Bretonnia. Gilles Le Bastogne was still a boy and had not yet interacted with him. The Lady of the Lake killed the red dragon Schmaig when she drank from the Holy Grail.
In the year 952 of the Imperial Calendar, the embattled Bastogne people were further troubled by the red dragon Schmaig. Due to the red dragon's voracious appetite for death and terror, much of Gilles' fiefdom was engulfed in flames. Although Schmaigu is as big as a castle and is capable of swallowing a horse whole without chewing it. But he decided to fight Schmaigu, because the young man had honor and courage flowing in his veins.
As Gilles ascended the rolling foothills and looked down upon the beleaguered town, he saw the Schmeigu circling and roaring in the market square, breathing huge flames on building after building, and he could hear the residents A horrified voice.
Schmaig drives the inhabitants away like a wolf herding sheep, its breath carefully placed to form a blazing ring of fire around the center of the town from which the inhabitants cannot escape.
As Gilles rode through the streets, he saw an unfortunate resident being launched into the air, before a giant snake-like neck snaked out and the Schmaig swallowed the resident whole. He exhorted the inhabitants to take up arms and fight, and his charisma as he burst through the flames was so great that many of the inhabitants took up bows and halberds to fight alongside their lord.
The arrow hit Schmaigu's neck from the other side of the square, but it had no effect. It opened its folded wings, made a huge crack, hovered in the air, and then landed again, facing the oncoming Giller. Sri Lanka.
However, an arrow shaft protruded from Schmaigu's eye, and for a moment, its pale lower abdomen was exposed to Gilles's lance charge. Gilles' thick lance pierced its hard scales and penetrated deeply into its heart, breaking the lance in half. The violent twisting force knocked Gilles off his horse. It rolled in flames of its own making, letting out a loud wail that sent residents running for cover.
Undaunted, Gilles stepped into the scorching flames, roared, and thrust his sword beneath Schmaig's eye, ending the threat that had plagued Bastogne once and for all.
After several hours of hard work, and with the help of the town's blacksmith, Gilles finally succeeded in cutting off Shmagu's huge head from its neck and peeling off the dragon skin to use as his cloak. Returning in triumph, he tied the dragon's head to his powerful horse. From then on, he adopted Schmaigu as his coat of arms. To this day, Schmaigu's coat of arms and dragon skin cloak are still symbols of the Kingdom of Bastogne, and thousands of lords come here every year. Make a pilgrimage and stand in awe under the ancient dragon head of Shimai.
Interestingly, the dragon is so powerful that not even death can stop it from threatening Bretonnia. Residents of the Kingdom of Bastogne always dream of Schmaigu's dragon head speaking to them and encouraging them to do terrible things. Some people can even hear Schmaigu's voice while they are awake.
"He is listening to what the dragon says." Therefore, there is a saying in the Kingdom of Bastogne, implying that someone is crazy.
We can judge a lot of things from this story. For example, fire dragons are generally bad-tempered, smart and cruel, and have a bit of a bad taste? Moreover, the red dragon is very large, but has a slender neck and a small head. It can even be placed on or dragged by a war horse?
By now, most Old Worlders are familiar with the image of a noble knight on his steed slaying a dragon. Among the lords of Bretonnia this has become one of the most enduring images of chivalry in existence. The art of dragon slaying is grand enough and full of fantasy, making it perfect for the proud Bretonnian lords...
Moreover, the Bretonnian lords are indeed like their ancestors.
Sir Dagbolt slew the dragon Christopher Lux; the Holy Grail Knight Riolus slew the dragon Grell Malak; the Red Duke slew the dragon Nerruk and hunted down Gondor. Walder; the seven knights of Salus joined forces to kill the giant dragon Halleron and gained the approval of the Lady of the Lake. They drank the Holy Grail together and became the bond of the Holy Grail Knights;
from the Kingdom of Bastogne, they have "Dragon Slayer" and "Beauty" Jasper Le Beau, who had the title of slaying the dragon Malgemas, and the dragon's claws were blessed by the saint, could protect its wearer from walking safely in the flames without receive any harm.
Duke Berigulf Fenot killed the giant dragon Malefis, and the lance was inserted into the dragon's mouth when it breathed out huge flames, absorbing the power of the dragon's breath. Now as long as the gunman shouts Named after the slain dragon Maleficent, this dragon spear breathes fire at its enemies.
The Holy Grail Knight "Dragon Slayer" Baudouin slew the dragon Mergast; Geoffrey of the Champion Knights of Quinalis slew the dragon Scaramore; Thierry Rowe of the Montfort Kingdom Thaler killed the dragon Sionat; Sir Thibault killed the dragon Rotherham (doubtful); Jacques de Beaumarchais, who was born as an old farmer, and Agravin de... Boquist teamed up to slay the dragon Drogolemar.
As everyone knows, Bretonnia was founded in the Imperial Calendar 979, and existed as a tribe before. On average, one dragon dies at the hands of Bretonnian lords every century.
Speaking of Balderros, the knights errant failed to slay the dragon that day, and instead turned into coke or minced meat. However, Splinterwen was also fatally injured and would soon die from his injuries. Using the last of its strength, it flew into the sky and pulled itself higher and higher, almost as if it was being guided by Morslieb in the sky.
Splinterwen eventually came to a place known as the Sacrifice Pit, a place used to appease some abandoned evil beings, where it lay with its last life-blood pooled in the land. Just like Arabi's magic lamp, then, a vague figure emerged from the dragon's blood. The figure had three green eyes and seemed to be made entirely of black mist.
In reality, the Three Green Eyes were a Chaos Demon, held up and trapped there by the pure hatred of those living sacrifices, and it promised to save Splinterwen's life, and all Splinterwen had to do was take it away.
Splinterwen agreed to the Chaos Demon's terms to save its life, but like all dealings with a Chaos Demon, eventually the Chaos Demon took over its body, conquered its mind and will, and destroyed it. Mutates into a two-headed Chaos Dragon. Splinterwing "Splinterwing" died, replaced by Balderros.
During the Great War, Baldros woke up from his sleep, becoming bloated and distorted beyond recognition. Its legs have wrinkled black-gray scaly flesh, its curved back is covered with bone plates, and its thick tail is more like a deadly spiked club. The head is animalistic, with a protruding lower jaw, covered with upward-protruding fangs, and small red eyes buried in the bone ridges. The other head was smart, with a green tongue twitching like a caged snake and eyes as sharp as steel. Like Garrauch, it spews black fire from one head and acidic bile from the other. It is the embodiment of destruction, leaving nothing but ruins wherever it goes.
With the unremitting efforts of Teclis, the most powerful mage at the time, Baldros was defeated, but he was not killed. Unable to solve it, Teclis could only imprison it in a magical chamber buried deep underground, where It also became the home of the Altdorf Academy of Light.
In addition to Tigris knowing this secret, the light magician Egrim van Hosman, who has an outstanding talent in mastering the wind of Hexi, learned this secret from Tzeentch. Van Hosman eventually became Tzeentch. The champion signed a contract with Baldross, blew up the Academy of Light and released Baldross before flying to the chaotic wasteland of the north.
Either those adventure knights were too strong, or Splinterwen was too incompetent at the time, or Baldros became stronger after Chaos, so strong that Tigris couldn't do anything about it, who knows? Sometimes it's quite Schrödinger. Darkus remembered that after Malus collected the five-piece set, Zakhan did not return Malus's soul, but instead deceived Malus like a traditional chaos demon. After that, Malus Si once again embarked on the road to search for souls, during which he encountered a giant dragon, and then...
Then Malus shot the dragon with a hand crossbow, yes, a hand crossbow! It's the hand crossbow that Druchi's children can use. The crossbow arrow hit the wound on the dragon's abdomen, and behind the wound was the dragon's heart...
"I can't say, but it seems that we can go and have a look next?" Darkus thought, and if everything goes well, this When traveling to the old world, you may pass by the Reikland of the Empire. There is a dragon castle there. There are real dragons there. Maybe you can also take a look? Wait until you get to Athel Loren and ask the Asrais, and look for Splinterwen on the way? Save Splinterwen's fate?
perhaps? Next time I see the dragon tamer, let the dragon tamer teach Darkus the dragon song? There must be a contract or some other means. Do we really want to have a friendship with the red dragon? Then use the dragon songs taught by the dragon taming ancestors to ride the red dragons of the old world and beat the descendants of the dragon taming ancestors and the fire dragons of Ulthuan? It's so hard to think about, he has thought of such hard-to-think things.
"By the way, I have time to draw a picture. Just draw the four sorceresses standing on the pedestal that day. The angle...you can look at it." Darkus's thoughts were extremely out of bounds. A second ago, he was thinking I was thinking about dragons, and the next second I was thinking about paintings.
There is no point in thinking so much. I have an idea in my mind for the time being, and I will wait until I encounter it next time. There is no ready-made blessing cultivator suitable for giant dragons, and Copti has to arrange the order. It is estimated that a century will have passed by the time the wild dragon system is formed, and even if you eat golden squid, you will not be able to increase your body shape like a balloon.
After experiencing that passage closure, the four sorceresses seemed to have grown qualitatively, as if that incident was like their fate, making them stronger. If divided by desktop level, it should have reached level four? What kind of concept is this? Although there are strengths and weaknesses at level 4, in the era of low magic when the Maelstrom was still around, he was considered a top caster and could lead a large mage group.
From Darkus' point of view, he has posed a big problem for Renn. This "painting" is not easy to draw. Drusala in the painting can be regarded as Ren's mistress, not to mention Alyssa, who is Ren's sister. Colonia and Renne have cooperated a lot, and Belloda... seems to be getting a little close to Franais recently. This couldn't help but remind him of the Kingdom of Charis and the Kingdom of Cosqui, which were connected together. He saw them both, but he had no interest in stopping them, as long as Franais liked them.
Sure enough, after hearing the mission ordered by Darkus, Ren was okay at first and thought it was just a normal job, but his expression changed the next second when he thought about it. There are four sorceresses in the painting, some far away and some near, a master and a deputy. The sorceresses won't say anything to each other, but they won't be able to take the blame when the time comes. And he also knew that a painting like this would serve as a memorial to Darkus and would be hung up in a conspicuous place in the future. He has been hanging out with Darkus for thirteen years, and he knows Darkus's ways very well. Normally, the head of the doomsday bull should be cut off and hung up, but Darkeus has no interest in it. I am interested in this kind of commemorative painting.
Seeing Ren's expression, Darkus nodded with satisfaction.
It was better to study what was in front of him first, and let the dragon go first. Darkus discovered that after this battle, the Adreze believers who were originally pieced together had undergone some qualitative changes that he could not describe, just like many Just like having a sense of honor and mission, just like having a military spirit, the spirit and spirit of the believers have changed.
On this basis, Darkus was ready to adjust the structure of the Adreze Order again. With the experience of formulating the Legion last time, he decided to make changes this time. After Maranur finished cleaning up the area around Conquata, he called the leaders and core personnel of each religious order.
It's nothing more than those few old faces, the Curling Blade Order led by Baine as the bishop, the Weeping Blood Order led by Selire as the bishop, and the Blood Nightmare Order led by Shakala as the bishop. In fact, nothing has changed. It is still the shell of the nightmare and the core of the tribe.
After negotiation, the number of personnel in the cult was further streamlined. Starting from the tent, 3 people per tent, 3 tents per team, a total of 5 teams, 45 people in total, and 1 martial arts master, just like the Black Tower of the Black Guard. Like the tower master, there are also three flag bearers, adding up to a total of 49 people. Each religious group has five martial arts masters, a total of 245 people, plus the bishop of the religious group.
If necessary in the later stage, the sect can be doubled and set up with 10 martial arts masters, and then adjustments will need to be made, such as dispersing the teams under the martial arts master, recruiting the sect's reserves to expand into thousands of elite soldiers, etc. On weekdays, just Conduct internal training behind closed doors, or go out to compete and learn martial arts and tactics.
Each religious sect has its own weapons that it is good at, but this is not absolute. If it is small and sophisticated, it must be prepared for both near and far. For example, the Curling Blade Order of Baine is good at long handles, but they also need to be able to use long-range weapons such as crossbows; the Weeping Blood Order of Selilei is good at double-blades, but they can also ride cold lizards and use long-range weapons to fight. . Shakala's Blood Nightmare Order is good at whips and close-range weapons. In this case, the three-pronged boomerang may be a good choice as a secondary weapon that can be used at both distance and close range?
Darkus' current positioning for the Adreze Order is the general reserve team around him, or the trump card, such as taking a raid ship to raid the enemy's rear. You must be good at small-group combat, and you may be able to transform it later. Turn it into an institution like Emerald Garden, into a military academy, and form a good progressive system. But this will happen a long time ago. Policies are adjusted according to the needs of the times, and what is in line with the current situation is the best.
Maranur and Kewell were originally in the Weeping Blood Order of Selire, but now Darkeus took them out and put them into the Black Heart Order formed by Franais.
The Black Heart Order is a bit interested in playing tricks, and mainly fights around Darkus, which is regarded as half aristocratic soldiers, proton troops and staff groups to meet political and military needs.
Under Darkus' instruction, Cradin formed a Order of the Scorched Darkness that specialized in riding cold lizards. Later, it was mainly composed of Hagrid Grave's noble children and the battle-hardened Dark Riders who stood out from the legion. .
There may be more bishops joining in the future, such as the Mist Walkers from the Kingdom of Ulthuan Yris? Those neighbors in the woods of Athel Loren? Who knows?
As for what role Darkus plays in the Order of Edreze? It must be Si Zhan!
Si Zhan is the supreme commander of the Eldar army next door and has a perfect understanding of the art of war. Each warbender is revered by warriors and seers alike, and they have learned many paths over the centuries, including one or more aspects of the warrior's path. At some point in their lives, a love of command and strategy develops in the warlords.
Warmasters believe that the true path to superior combat skills is not in fierce physical combat, but in surveying the battlefield and guiding the Eldar army to victory in the most efficient and deadly way. This is the path of command, a fervent obsession, and a deep understanding of the relationship between battle tactics and the relationship between the campaign and the entire war.
When the Eldar armies are under the command of Warmasters, they operate like finely honed machines, each component functioning in perfect harmony with the others. However, Si Zhan is not just a commander. When the thirst for war calls, Si Zhan will take the lead, charging ahead, dueling enemy leaders, or destroying war machines with ease and contempt.
Si Zhan's positioning is too in line with Darkus's approach. Anyway, he currently has the exclusive right to interpret it. Sometimes escaping cannot solve any problem. Throughout the medieval world, anyone with a name and a surname has considerable strength. If you don't look for the other party, the other party will come to you. This has no conflict with how many soldiers, prestige and property you have. . Moreover, in the world view of many races, a duel or a championship duel is a matter of great honor, but once you escape... it is like raising a wish. It takes a long time to raise it, but it only takes a moment to achieve success.
If you sail against the current, you will retreat if you don't advance.
The hand of the gods in the lead castle was given to Di Jia. This beggar version of Ku Jia became more and more like Ku Jia. With the stabilization of Conqua Tower, the appearance of the Lead Castle also returned to its original appearance, turning into the silvery white color unique to the ancient saints, instead of the baroque style corroded by chaotic energy.
Darkus and Lord Mazdamudi studied it, and the final decision was to temporarily operate Conquata at the lowest intensity to guard the spiritual nodes of Obion Island, and at the same time restart the study of the Truth Speaker. In the future, these truth speakers may walk in the old world, and the third-generation Slann demon priest Tankoquako will preside over Kongquata.
As for the sixth second-generation Slann Demon Priest Umatadan, he is in trouble. According to the description of Lord Mazdamudi, his injuries were more serious than that of the second-generation Lord Huini Aitankui. The follow-up preparations are temporarily Placed in the secret chamber of Conquata. Since there was no way to find a treatment, Darkus had to bite the bullet and move on. Whether it was wiping Malekith's butt or letting Umatadan wake up again, that was what he had to do.
There is also an Old One creation in the Tower of Kongqua. Unlike the Shaping Engine, this Old One creation is gentler while changing the surrounding environment. Compared with the Shaping Engine, it is like a violent defense machine. Afterwards, the forest around Conquata will become a jungle, but creation cannot change the weather. It is speculated that the area around Conquata will turn into a cold and damp forest of knotwood. For the lizard people who want to bask in the sun... (End of this chapter)
