Chapter 283 The Ace Troop’s First Confrontation
Lann nodded. According to the normal timeline, the story of "poisoning and smashing the eggs" should have happened one or two years later. Considering the hatching time of the dragon eggs, he originally thought that the dragon eggs had been born by now, but now it seems that this is not the case.
"You said you had a plan? So what unplanned things did you do now that angered the red dragon?"
Waff Geneva nodded bitterly: "Yes."
"Some time ago, Kelturis's appetite suddenly increased. It has increased significantly, but the frequency of activity has decreased." Vavznek said, "We thought he was going to hibernate at first, and thought that if we didn't see him in the future, his eyes would be quiet, which would be a good thing." "But very soon
. We soon realized something was wrong. After all, you know, we have been living with dragons for hundreds of years, and we are always... thinking of ways to deal with them, so there are many books and information about dragons in the clan." Vavznek did not shy away from himself. Regarding the hostility of dragons, "After repeated verification, we also wrote to some dwarves living in Cowburg to consult biologists, and finally confirmed that Kelturis is pregnant!" "What happens next?" Kolgrim
asked Saskia poured a glass of wine, forced the dragon girl's attention away, and asked.
"As I said before, the Ferentz clan cannot afford to support a second dragon, and we will not allow Kelturis to give birth to a dragon under the support of the Ferenc clan!"
Vavznek gritted his teeth: "It just so happened that recently I don’t know why there are so many monsters in the Mahakam Mountains. We made a lot of bait to lure these monsters towards Kelturis’ lair, and then put some in Kelturis’ food for abortion. Herbs."
"These herbs... have been tested on girls in our clan and will make people weak. We hope that we can use this to make those monsters harm or even seriously injure Kelturis, and then we can take the opportunity to destroy it. "
Lan En's confidants in the room frowned upon hearing this. It feels despicable to use this method to deal with a pregnant woman, but when you think about the opponent being a giant dragon, everything becomes difficult to evaluate.
Lann sighed as he heard this, why did everyone take advantage of the increase in the number of monsters to make trouble secretly? The same goes for the Ferenzi clan, and so does the Zygrin clan. The monster riot was supposed to be a disaster for the residents, but it turned out to be a carnival for conspirators from all walks of life.
These rioting monsters would probably feel aggrieved if they knew that they were being used as tools, right?
"I understand, Vavznek." Lan finally sorted out the cause and effect, "I will handle this matter. I promise you: Kelturis will never become your Ferenz clan, or even your Mar. Hakan's problem."
At the moment Lan made his promise, the system sounded a prompt sound -
[Discovery mission - Hundred-year grudge:
The origin of the feud between the Red Dragon Kelturis and the Mahakam Ferenz clan. centuries ago. Although they have maintained a superficial harmony for hundreds of years, the Ferentz clan always wants to completely get rid of the oppression of the dragon. Although they suffered bad consequences due to the loopholes in their strategy, your power allowed them to see new opportunities. Now that you know the cause and effect, how to deal with this grudge is all in your mind. ]
...
Vavznek left with great gratitude after receiving Lan's affirmation. Everyone's attention focused on Lan again, curious about the leader's decision.
"Lan, what should we do next?"
Kolgrim was the first to ask the question, and others also maintained a high degree of attention - especially Saskia.
Lan pondered for a moment and comforted Saskia: "Don't worry. Originally, I was worried about whether Kelturis and the Ferentz clan would fight to the death, but now it seems that there may be room for maneuver. I'm sure."
After Xiao Longnu felt relieved, Lan turned around and started arranging his own battle plan.
"We are not trying to slay the dragon, that would be too wasteful... I want to try to see if we can turn the red dragon into our power just like we recovered the ice giant." As soon as these words came out, everyone in Cintra in the room became excited
. stand up.
"Yes, I'm sure." Lann stabilized the morale of the army again, and then laughed involuntarily, "With such a powerful combat power, as long as you have the first one, the subsequent recovery will become much easier..."
No. Well, in order to subdue the ice giant, how much power and effort did their team muster to beat the ice giant half to death. Lann also spent a whole level of upgrades and more experience to make the opponent worthy of the contract. Apart from anything else, with the presence of the Ice Giant and Saskia, "making the opponent lose their combat effectiveness" becomes much more convenient.
Just to prevent accidents due to lack of experience, Lan still hoped to have a good talk with the red dragon as much as possible. It would be best if he could win without a fight, which would also take care of Saskia's mood.
If it doesn't work, then you can only convince people with virtue...
and there are still some things to do before the plan can be implemented.
Lann glanced at the system panel. There was only one skill point and the amount of experience points was not very sufficient.
"It's enough to face the red dragon with me, Saskia, and the Ice Giant. You have other tasks." Lan said seriously, "I hope you can help other people as much as possible during this period. Specifically. I won't tell you how to do it...just like you did in Sintra and Skellige."
This was already familiar to everyone in the house, so it was natural.
The amount of tasks for one Ferentz clan may not even be enough. Lann has already planned to send people to the Fuchs clan through [Teleportation] to help them build their home together. There should be many side quests in a place that is waiting to be built, right? By the way, you can also increase your favorability and let your own people check out your future colleagues.
Then everyone began to assign tasks. It's just that those with sharp eyes suddenly discovered that at this moment, Lan En's core members in the room were missing one person who shouldn't be missing.
"Where's Milva?"
Lann didn't even raise his head: "I arranged for her to do other tasks... But she will be back soon."
...
The moon was dark and the wind was high.
The town of the Ferentz clan is still filled with the burning smell left by the fire that raged during the day.
Earlier, vague cries could be heard in the dimly lit rooms, but now it was late at night, and the many events during the day made it impossible for the dwarves to squeeze out their energy, even if Vavznek was in Clan. After leaving En's house, he went home and fell asleep.
The entire "Witch's Den" fell into silence.
The only sane person was the guard responsible for guarding the Scoia'tael.
Since most of the Ferenc clan warriors had not yet returned, Lann sent a team of soldiers to guard the Scoia'tael prisoners at Wavznek's request. Anyway, these Scoia'tael were originally Rann's prisoners.
Just as the people of Cintra were performing their duties, they noticed a tall figure coming out of the darkness.
The firelight illuminated the opponent's appearance: braided black hair hanging down his back, a blood-colored collar protruding from the top of the black leather armor; his limbs were wearing hard plate armor, and the outermost part was a thick cloak.
"Captain Layla." The leader of the Cintra guards saw the figure emerging from the fire clearly and greeted him politely.
"Milva." Layla also greeted the leader of the Cintra guards politely. She has a good impression of the only woman in Lann's team.
When Layla noticed that these Cintra people not only did not relax at all after seeing her, but even vaguely put their hands on their weapons, her good impression became even stronger.
What a strong vigilance, what an elite force. Heileila sighed in her heart.
"Duke Lannister is discussing matters, and it seems that he will plan to slay the dragon in the near future." Helena explained her purpose of coming, "This is a huge event, and everyone needs to be involved." Milva, as a servant, is
Lannis En's undisputed and absolute confidant, and her shooting skills are irreplaceable among the team. If it's dragon slaying, she definitely has a place in the plan.
"At the request of the Duke of Lannister, I have sent Milva to you to discuss matters. Mr. Geralt and the others have been in the Duke's room for a long time, and now it's time to send you." Herela said this, but she didn't expect the woman opposite
. The attendant's expression became increasingly strange. The dim light of the torch was not enough to see the person's face clearly, but Black Leila, who was experienced in fighting, was enough to feel the murderous aura on it.
"Leila the Black, captain of the Aedirn Special Operations Force, her main combat opponent is the Scoia'tael." In Black Leila's stern eyes, Milva talked about her experience unhurriedly, and the content that followed was more This made Layla’s expression change drastically.
"As early as when you captured these Scoia'tael, His Excellency the Duke guessed that you would not be able to resist lynching them. His Excellency had already told me that if you pretended to pass orders at night and wanted to drive us away, don't hesitate to capture them. That's good."
The Cintra guards had already dispersed in all directions, but the enemy their weapons pointed at was no longer the Scoia'tael, but the female captain of Aedirn.
No matter how brave and skilled Black Leila is, she cannot face an entire team of guards at the same time. At this moment, her face is full of frustration, but she has no resentment. She just sighs: "Is
this also what Duke Lannister expected?"
" Duke Lannister knows everything." Milva put her long bow behind her back and drew her sword, "And you, pretending to pass on the Duke's orders, is an insult to the name of Lannister! If it weren't for the Duke, I favor you very much, and I specifically told you not to hurt your life, but my arrow has already penetrated your neck!"
Heileila's face was full of frustration, but she couldn't help but chuckle after hearing this: "Just you? I admit that Lord Lannister is brave, and he has a good eye for people. But you can't deal with me, little girl."
Layla, who is also a woman, knows how difficult it is for a woman to gain an advantage in a fight. She relies on Only with a stature as tall as a man and natural strength can he have a place in the military camp. In comparison, Milva's body shape is too petite, and her strength disadvantage can be seen at a glance.
If it were a bow and arrow, Black Leila might still be wary of three points, but Milva actually pulled out her sword at this moment, which made Heilela a little bit dumbfounded.
"You will know after you try it." The female attendant of the Cintra Lion put up a standard sword stand and faced the female captain of Aedirn, and specifically told the Cintra soldiers around her, "You are not allowed to take action, just prevent her from escaping. ."
Black Leila shook her head: "I won't run away...it just looks like there will be one more thing to make amends with Duke Lannister later."
Leila is still in a relaxed mood at the moment. She is the captain of Aedirn. , this identity allows her to kill the people of Cintra, and Lann will not execute her rashly.
It's just that he is now guilty of trying to bypass the Cintra guards and lynching the Scoia'tael. If he seriously injures Milva again, it will really be equivalent to slapping Duke Lannister in the face. The Duke may not kill himself, but it is in line with etiquette to cut off the hand that hurt the attendant. Even His Majesty Demavi can't fault this.
Don't hurt Milva too seriously, otherwise you won't be able to explain. With this thought in mind, Black Leila raised her cloak, revealing the sword she had hidden inside. In the original plan, this sword would drink the blood of the Scoia'tael tonight.
...
a quarter of an hour later.
"I'll give you a chance to tell you, what exactly do you think?"
In Lan En's stone house, Heileila was tied up and kneeling in front of Lan En with her hands tied. There were bruises on her face, all her armor had been stripped off, and there were a few moderate sword marks on her clothes. It was obvious that the person fighting her was very skillful and had deliberately restrained her strength.
Her great sword was held in Milva's arms. There was no trace of blood on it, and it was obvious that no one was hurt.
Heileila opened her mouth to explain something, but the pain from her chest and abdomen made her almost gasp, and she waited for a while before she hesitated to speak.
"I underestimated your bodyguard, Duke Lannister. Her power is amazing. I was suppressed by her in the first round. After that, I couldn't find a chance to counterattack and fell behind everywhere. I was disarmed in five moves..."
Milva He raised his chin proudly, and his honey-colored hair seemed to smell sweet under the light.
"Well done, Milva, you completed my task well." Lann chuckled and affirmed Milva. He never hesitated to praise and reward his subordinates.
The waitress also puffed up her breasts this time, and her cheerful expression made everyone in the room feel joy.
But then Lann turned his head to Heileila again, his tone became colder, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.
"But that's not what I'm asking, Captain Layla. There's no need for you to avoid it anymore. My question is: Why did you betray my trust and attempt to lynch my prisoners?" Lann slammed the table hard
. He smashed a corner of the stone table into pieces and made Heileila's eyes jump suddenly.
"Did you know that this is the territory of the dwarves, and these Scoia'tael are all from the Ferenc clan? Vavznek didn't even dare to try these Scoia'tael within the clan, so he could only hand it over to Carbon Mountain; he also didn't dare to let his clan The civilians inside went to take care of them. They were worried that some guards would be soft-hearted and give these Scoia'tael an opportunity, so they asked the soldiers of Cintra to take care of them until more qualified dwarf warriors returned..." "In this case
, You're going to lynch these Scoia'tael, and I know without even thinking that you're going to take their lives." "I have to ask you
a very serious question, Captain Layla - you do this, Where are you going to put us in Cintra?"
As soon as these words came out, the people in Cintra in the room stared at Heileila with burning eyes.
