The core area of the Soaring Dragon Legion.
Otto was still lying on his specially made blanket, and Saru was reporting to him the losses of the Soaring Dragon Legion.
Although more than a hundred Chimeras had been driven back, and they had paid a considerable price.
At the same time, the losses of the Soaring Dragon Legion were not small.
Most of the casualties were caused by the first wave of concentrated lightning breath.
Ordinary monsters, after being directly hit by such a powerful weapon, were mostly turned into charcoal.
Some of those who survived were worse off than dead, with no good spot left on their fur, and some even paralyzed.
The loss of intercepting flying monsters was also severe, with Giant Eagles and Hawkmen having no room for resistance when facing Chimeras.
So, Otto asked Saru, “Starting today, Giant Eagles and Hawkmen are to be transferred to the scout unit. Giant Eagles can be assigned to Lizardmen, and Hawkmen are naturally born scouts.” “As you wish, Your Majesty.”
Saru also agreed on this matter.
He was quite disappointed with the performance of these two races in the aerial battlefield.
Usually, when facing an aerial overlord like Chimera, they could only serve as cannon fodder.
But these two races were the most numerous flying monsters in the Soaring Dragon Legion.
Without them, the Soaring Dragon Legion would still be at a disadvantage against the remaining seventy or so Chimeras of the Thunder Legion, even with the Manticores, Perytons, a few Red-headed Chimeras, and Wyverns.
Despite having many monsters in the Soaring Dragon Legion, the effective aerial forces are scarce.
Thinking of this, Otto glanced at the newly grown dragon wings behind Saru.
He wondered if he could obtain more powerful flying monsters through Dragonborn transformation.
Soon, Saru finished reporting the losses of the Soaring Dragon Legion. The majority of the casualties were ordinary monsters from the outer city.
Although there were many casualties, it wasn’t much for the already large Soaring Dragon Legion.
So, Otto asked, “So, what’s the name of that place with three thousand monsters…”
Gaz the Goblin hastily said, “Salmon Village.” “Alright, Salmon Village…”
It was in line with the naming habits of monsters.
Otto said indifferently, “With tens of thousands of monsters from the Soaring Dragon Legion at their doorstep, they only let three thousand low-level soldiers stand in the front.
And then sent over a hundred Chimeras to ambush us, are they underestimating us?”
Gaz, who had spent some time in the Thunder Legion before, tried to analyze, “The various monster races within the Thunder Legion are not united, and some even antagonize each other.
Ogres, Minotaurs, Centaurs, and Chimeras belong to the core races of the Thunder Legion, while other monster races joined later and are in a marginal position.
I used to hang out with these marginal monster races, so I know that they don’t get along well with the core monsters of the Thunder Legion.
Those core monster races didn’t take them seriously at all.
Perhaps these three thousand monsters were being used as cannon fodder.”Goblin frowned, trying hard to recall while continuing: “They are mainly local monsters from the north of Nolan Forest and the edge of Dragon Bone Wasteland. The reason for joining the Thunder Legion is simple — it’s just for survival.”
The Thunder Legion is very clear about their attitude towards outsiders entering the Northland. It is slaughter, but their core races cannot manage the vast territory and resources of the Northland.”
So they need manpower, but they don’t want just anyone to join under the name of the Thunder Legion. That’s probably why one has to defeat a minor leader to join them.”
Otto asked: “You mentioned before that their internal relationships don’t seem to be very good?”
Gaz nodded, then continued: “Yes, core races like the Blue Storm Clan don’t think much of the other monsters who ioined later. In their dailv training and inheritance, there is no place for those other monsters.”
Not only that, but the monsters who joined later also have to provide food for the core monsters of the Thunder Legion regularly. The relationship is somewhat similar to the inner and outer cities of the Land of the Soaring Dragon.”
However, the monsters of the outer city still have a chance to enter the inner city, but they can never enter the core of the Thunder Legion.”
I think that’s the biggest reason for the internal conflicts.”
After all, the monsters that can defeat an Ogre Berserker and join the Thunder Legion aren’t ordinary Gnolls. There are quite a few monsters like me who are unwilling to accept the status quo.”
In fact, this situation that Gaz mentioned also existed in the former Thorn
Legion and Flame Legion.”
However, the same problem for the Thunder Legion could be fatal.”
That’s because they don’t have a real master. The Elderly Blue Dragon, known as Violent Thunder, has been missing for nearly two hundred years.”
Kuru is just a powerful two-headed Ogre. He can’t make a large group of strong and brutal monsters stay loyal.’
Having heard this, Otto, now knowing what to do, looked at Goblin Gaz and said coldly, “Since they’ve sent someone to give us a nice gift, how can we not return the favor?
Your name is Gaz, right? I heard that you’re in charge of many things in the
Soaring Dragon Legion.”
So you’ll be my envoy and deliver the first gift to the Thunder Legion!
Whether they’re cannon fodder or not, Salmon Village is a good choice. As for the specifics, you can figure it out yourself!”
The sturdy Goblin felt invigorated. Although it was a bit risky, this was a rare opportunity.
In the eyes of the great Silver Dragon Lord, Saru, the old Lizardman, seemed to have an unshakable status as one of the first followers.
It might be difficult to surpass Saru, but if Gaz could just be on par with him, there might still be a chance.”
But to do that, Gaz had to succeed in the first task the Silver Dragon Lord had given him and make it look impressive.
With that thought, Gaz quickly knelt before Otto, loudly saying, “Your Majesty, I will not disappoint you!”
With Otto’s permission, Gaz could freely mobilize all the forces in the Soaring Dragon Legion.
After Gaz left, Saru asked with some concern, “Your Majesty, what should I
Since being transformed into a Dragonborn, Saru had gained more life.
At the same time, his mindset had changed somewhat, and Gaz’s changing status had begun to worry him.
Now that his physical condition is great, Saru naturally abandoned his previous idea of yielding power to Gaz.
Otto looked at the old Lizardman who had been with him from the beginning, showing no emotion, and spoke in a low voice, “Let the Lizardman Scout assist
Gaz.”
If the results go well, Bark and the others can continue to advance further north. It would be best to find out why those guys had been guarding there for nearly two hundred years.”
Saru accepted the order, and assigning the Lizardman Scout to help Gaz clearly had the implication of monitoring Gaz and maintaining a balance of power.
As for giving Gaz such a task this time, it was not just a whim. Apart from himself and Sofia, Saru now held the greatest power..
