Red Dragon Emperor

After the barbarian envoy left Mordo Peak Forest safely, the spies who had been staying in Thorn Town immediately became active, trying to contact the barbarian envoy, approaching the high-level Stonefang wild boar who might know the news, and trying every means to inquire about the relationship between the barbarian and the dragon lord Concrete conversation content.

For the barbarians, it is not a glorious thing to pay the dragon for a ransom, so they kept their mouths tight. After returning to the hotel, they took the time to pack their bags and prepare to return to their command.

However, Jose deliberately spread this news to the outside world, not to show off his victory, but to convey a message to external forces that the dragon lord has the ability to control the situation.

In this way, under the instruction of Jose, the drunkard and chief of the Stoneya wild boar that night——Udi Stoneya "accidentally" slipped up when he was drunk, revealing part of the conversation, and the news was spread.

Jose deliberately revealed the news, coupled with some speculative speculation, the spies spread the news like snowflakes and passed it to the heads of various forces.

Next, more and more people came to Thorn Town to ask to visit the Lord of the Green Dragon. Among them were the envoys of the indigenous tribes and the heads of the chamber of commerce.

Without exception, they came with "friendliness", which meant that the surrounding indigenous tribes and merchant forces accepted the fact that the Green Dragon Lord ruled the Triangle Plain. This situation was exactly what Jose hoped to see.

Everything was going in a good direction until a week later, a bad news came.

"What? The barbarian envoy was robbed outside the Triangle Plain!" Jose suddenly stood up from the golden mountain, and valuables such as gold and gems fell down.

"Who did it?!"

Below the golden mountain, Yougou looked solemn: "Respected master, we have just received the news. The specific situation is not very clear. We only know that there are kobolds and jackals among the gangsters."

Kobolds, Gnolls...

Jose's face flickered, and he smelled a conspiracy.

Someone wants to blame Sanlong! Instigate a dispute between the three dragons and the barbarians!

The more critical the situation became, the more calm Jose became. He took out the map of the Northland: "Who is the leader of the barbarian messenger? How strong is it? Was it robbed at that location? How are the casualties? Where are the remaining missions now? Our news is Where did you get it?"

"It is not clear who the leader of the barbarians is, nor is the specific casualty situation. The remaining missions have already retreated. Our news is that a harpy brought them back. She found traces of battle while hunting on the grassland. I found a seriously injured barbarian, and was insulted and attacked by the barbarian," said Ergou, pointing out the location of the battlefield on the map.

"Master, I suspect that someone wants to blame us!"

Jose nodded: "Where is that harpies now?"

"It's in the square above, and I asked her to wait there after delivering the message."

"You did a good job," Jose stood up from the golden hill, and he planned to take witnesses to the scene to investigate.

Attacking the Frostaxe barbarian clan and attacking the emissary of the holy city are two concepts. The latter represents the face of the holy city of barbarians - Andorhal. Attacking them is hitting the face of the holy city of barbarians. Enmity is inevitable, and may even lead to an all-out war.

It was the worst scenario he didn't want to see.

Jose captured the Harpy in the dragon's claws and flew her all the way to the incident area.

Under the guidance of the harpies, Jose saw the seriously injured barbarian she had encountered before nearly a thousand meters away from the battlefield. Unfortunately, the red dragon came a step late, and the seriously injured barbarian had already lost his life due to excessive blood loss. He lost his life and turned into a Shangwen corpse.

Naturally, there was no way to get news from the corpses, so Jose flew to the tragic main battlefield: nearly a hundred corpses of barbarians, kobolds, and jackals were lying on the grassland, and some corpses were entangled until death, telling the story of the battle. Tragic.

When the red dragon lands, there is no need to chase it away.

The wild wolves gathered on the battlefield ran away with their tails between their legs.

He scoured the battlefield, but found no survivors.

Jose's complexion was a little ugly, and there was no living person to question, which made his investigation work more difficult.

"You can go back," sending the harpies back to receive the reward, and Jose began to investigate alone.

On the battlefield, the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the overturned cart with many arrows stuck in it.

He walked up to the cart and saw a horse not far from pulling the cart. The horse's body was full of arrows on both sides.

"The attacks came from both sides of the road, and the bows and arrows raided. Judging from the number of arrows, the barbarians faced at least a hundred enemies."

Jose saw the vehicle on the horses pulling the cart, the ropes on the vehicle were cut neatly, and then contacted the overturned carriage full of arrows, and the corpses of barbarians around the carriage.

"The barbarians reacted after being attacked, cut the rope and used the carriage as a shield, but they were still outnumbered."

He looked at the deep wheel marks left by the van on the ground again, and his face was a little displeased. If there were no accidents, the ransom paid to him was on the van, and now the ransom was taken away by the attackers.

Through observation of the battlefield, Jose concluded that the leader of the barbarian team was a master warrior, and there were fifty or sixty followers. Monster attack.

Since too many barbarians were injured in the first wave of arrow attacks, the remaining barbarians were powerless to retreat and fled to the east of the prairie.

The attacking monster did not chase after it, but fled towards the Jogol Mountain Range with the ransom money.

Jose turned on [Data Visualization] to track all the way, he wanted to find those guys who dared to snatch food.

Not only to get back the ransom, to resolve the misunderstanding with the barbarians, but also to find out where the robbers came from.

The Barbarian Holy City attaches great importance to this transaction. Not only is the leader a master-level powerhouse, but the rest of the followers are also professionals. To be able to rob such a team, these monsters are not just cats or dogs.

"The Jogol Mountains, are they the survivors who escaped from the Red Nest?"

Jose naturally connected the robbers with the survivors of the Red Nest. In the Jogol Mountains, only the monster army under the command of the Mistress of the Red Nest has the confidence and strength to rob the barbarians. The indigenous tribes on the grassland dare not provoke the barbarians. Grassland overlord.

"Are you interested in the barbarian's ransom, or do you want to provoke the relationship between Mordo Peak Forest and Andorhal, or both?"

Jose doesn't know the answer to the question, but as long as he finds the robber, everything will be clear.

Under the search of [Data Visualization], even if the robbers had anti-reconnaissance awareness and erased the footprints they passed by, they could not escape Jose's eyes.

After a while, José came to a tributary of the Volga River and looked at the flowing water in silence.

There were fresh impressions of the small boats staying on the shore, and the enemy had left through the boats, and he lost the trail of the enemy.

"This is troublesome, even if you jump into the Yellow River, you won't be able to wash it off."

Jose felt a little headache, he knew that the attack was not done by himself, but was framed by mysterious forces, but the barbarian didn't think so.

The accident site is very close to the Triangle Plain, and the attackers are kobolds, jackals and other dragon family members, and the attackers are so powerful. In this vicinity, the only force that can come up with such a strong force is Moduo Peak. The Lin family.

Moreover, there was a lack of trust between the three dragons and the barbarians, and the barbarians had every reason to suspect that this attack was planned by the dragon lord in order to black out the ransom.

If there were no accidents, the barbarians would soon send people to the door to question the teacher.

"At this moment, we can only take one step at a time," Jose said with a heavy heart, returning to his underground kingdom.

Sure enough, on the third day, the barbarian emissary - Mu Muda came to the door, and brought two master-level barbarians and two hundred elite barbarians. All the barbarians looked angry, obviously looking for trouble .

Jose took the initiative to receive the barbarians instead of Olivia. He didn't dare to let the green dragon handle this matter. It would be strange if they didn't fight.

It was still an underground hall lined with stone pillars. Jose was sitting on the throne, and below was the barbarian mission with indifferent faces.

Mu Muda looked unhappy: "Your Excellency Red Dragon, I think you owe us barbarians an explanation!"

"No, no, no! Mordo Peaks doesn't owe the barbarians anything!" After José acknowledged his tough attitude, his tone eased slightly: "But in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings and troubles, I think there are some things that should be told to you .”

"That incident has nothing to do with us. The day before yesterday, I went to the place where the incident happened," said the red dragon on the throne, throwing down a bloody weapon, including arrows, broadswords and sharp swords. These weapons It fell and scattered all over the ground in front of Mu Muda.

"These weapons were brought back from the scene of the accident and were used by the attackers."

Mu Muda continued to look at the red dragon, the red dragon clapped his hands, and a kobold came out from the side of the hall carrying a large iron pan. There were also some weapons on the iron pan, but there was no blood on these weapons.

The kobold laid his weapon before the barbarian and backed away.

"These are the weapons produced by our Modo Peak Forest," Jose continued, "There are quite a few fighters among you who are proficient in weapons. You can compare the differences between these two batches of weapons."

A master warrior came out immediately, picked up two arrows and compared them carefully.

"The manufacturing methods of the two arrows are completely different. Whether it is the casting process of the arrowhead, or the shaft and tail of the arrow, the arrows of Moduo Peak Forest are more refined."

He put down the arrow, and picked up two sharp swords: "Weapon styles are also different..."

"..."

After listening to the barbarians discussing in low voices for a while, Jose clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "You must have noticed that the weapons used by us in Modo Peak Forest are completely different from those used by the attackers."

Mu Muda frowned. The casting process of weapons can be forged and prepared in advance. He didn't fully believe what the Red Dragon said, but he couldn't produce evidence either.

"But, Your Excellency Dragon, who are those attackers?"

"I don't know, I just have a guess. The attacker may be a survivor of the Red Nest. To be honest, I am also one of the survivors who escaped from the Red Nest. The weapons used by the attacker are different from the Red Nest. It’s huge, and the direction they’re evacuating is the Jogol Mountains, so I suspect it’s the Red Nest survivors.”

Mu Muda's face was expressionless, but his eyes were flickering: "Your Excellency Red Dragon, this incident happened next to your territory, whether you did it or not, you are all responsible..."

The corner of Jose's mouth twitched, and the barbarian actually started playing tricks, trying to take part of the ransom for the attack on the mission.

He could also understand Mu Muda's thoughts. The previously negotiated ransom was paid by the Frostaxe barbarian clan, but now that something like this happened, Andorhal would more or less have to bear some responsibility and bear part of the ransom.

And Mu Muda, as the envoy of the barbarians, it is his duty to strive for favorable conditions for his own side.

Although understandable, but never accept!

"Absolutely impossible!" Jose interrupted Mumuda's speech: "First of all, your people didn't have an accident on my territory, and second, the team's accident was because you barbarians didn't protect themselves well, so I can't blame it. The ransom cannot be less!"

Even if Mumuda talked nonsense, Jose just remained unmoved.

The red dragon held the barbarian's life in his hands and took the initiative in matters, so he didn't need to make concessions to the barbarian at all.

The quarrel was fruitless, and the two parties broke up unhappy.

In the end, the barbarian compromised, and sent more guards to deliver the agreed ransom, and replaced the barbarian in the hands of the red dragon.

Although the transaction was completed, the envoy's robbery and ransom quarrel cast a shadow over the relationship between Moduo Peak Forest and Andorhal, like a thorn in the throat.

In any case, the matter of the Frostaxe barbarian clan has been revealed.

As for the culprit who robbed the barbarian messenger, both Red Dragon and the barbarian are investigating, but there has been no progress.

On the other side, the strong wild boars carried a big box in twos, hey yo hey yo moved the box in front of the red dragon, and these three boxes were the ransom paid by the barbarians.

Jose lifted the lid of the box, saw the bright rubies in the box, and grabbed a handful, feeling happy, even overjoyed.

It turned out that for the purpose of revenge, the rubies sent by the barbarians were relatively low in quality, and there were even a lot of broken stones and leftovers. However, in order to avoid angering the red dragon, the amount of rubies was still enough to pay the ransom, which caused the current situation. In this situation, there are as many as three boxes of low-quality rubies. PS: The value of rubies is high, and a box of normal rubies is enough to pay the ransom.

If Jose was an ordinary red dragon, then the barbarian's actions could really disgust him, but Jose was not an ordinary red dragon, he wanted to thank Mu Muda face to face at this moment, because he really knew himself so well.

The purpose of Jose asking for rubies is to make explosive barrels. Naturally, high-quality rubies are not needed, and the more low-quality rubies, the better.

"Come here, carry them all down for me, grind them into powder, and make explosive barrels!"

In the battle with the brown-skinned wild boar, the explosive barrel played a huge role and proved its actual combat value. Jose naturally wanted to make more to prevent encountering a strong enemy.
