Pioneer Lord: Starting From Daily Intelligence

Chapter 151: Chapter 92: A Huge Crisis – The Terrifying Two-legged Flying Dragon King and the Green Dragon Subordinate Legion

Hearing Oerstein’s recount, all the knights at the banquet were moved.

The Knight Legion suddenly encountered an attack by the Two-legged Flying Dragons during the pursuit, and must have gone through a very fierce battle to repel these cunning and cruel creatures.

All the Healing Potions were exhausted, indicating the hardships of this battle.

Su Li frowned and asked: ”Are there other Two-legged Flying Dragons under the Green Dragon?”

Oerstein nodded and said: ”And it’s not just one or two, but a whole legion of Two-legged Flying Dragons. From the threats and harsh words they left when retreating, there seems to be a Two-legged Flying Dragon King as well.”

The news of the Two-legged Flying Dragon King caused everyone to gasp.

The Two-legged Flying Dragon King typically possesses Divine Chosen Level powers, and if combined with a treacherous Green Dragon, it means this Green Dragon Legion has at least two Divine Chosen Level creatures.

Moreover, judging from the Two-legged Flying Dragon King’s submission to the Green Dragon, the Green Dragon likely has Middle Tier Divine Chosen strength, potentially even a High Tier Divine Chosen level.

As power increases, the gap between each small phase widens further.

For example, Oerstein, a Mid-tier Champion Knight, crushing Fastrick, an Initial Tier Champion Knight, is like overwhelming combat.

This Flying Horse Knight’s battle with Beast Slayer Jerald is still on the edge with hope of winning; however, against Oerstein, he lacked much resistance.

At the Divine Chosen stage, this gap only widens.

Moreover, dragons are the ultimate masters of Arcane Power in this world.

They aren’t savage creatures that only use claws to fight; those beasts that bite and tear are called Dragon Beasts.

The vast gap between Dragons and Beasts is reflected in the Dragon Language Magic that the Dragons master.

With the Green Dragon chanting for a long time, casting a powerful Dragon Language Magic, it might devastate hundreds of humans in a single strike. Even powerful Elite Knights cannot fend off high-tier Dragon Language Magic, and even dwarves with Absolute Demon Resistance would suffer severe damage.

Such a strong Divine Chosen Level Giant Dragon, combined with a Divine Chosen Level Two-legged Flying Dragon King, along with a tribe of Two-legged Flying Dragons, results in a legion so powerful it sends shivers down the spine.

Su Li sighed: ”As expected of the treacherous Green Dragon, it places extra emphasis on its Subordinate Legion. If it were a Red Dragon, it probably wouldn’t bother developing so many subordinates.”

This makes the Green Dragon somewhat akin to Eastern people, who prefer strategizing before acting, building forces, and utilizing tactics.

The dwarf legion leader Mudalin decisively stood up and said: ”My big friend, do not worry. No matter how powerful the Green Dragon is, the dwarves will come to fight alongside you.”

Dorglin also nodded immediately, slamming the table heavily and said: ”The dwarves will bring a batch of elites to join friends in facing the evil threat.”

Su Li smiled, for the dwarves’ sincerity is unquestionable; in facing the demons, this battle requires full effort from him as well.

Preserving the strength of this dwarf contingent as much as possible will ensure more dwarves will come to Hesse Territory to help Su Li against the Green Dragon.

Even if only a tenth of them come to aid the territory in the future, it would be hundreds of Dwarf Warriors.

Then Su Li smiled and said: ”Alright! Cheers to our friendship. Though the enemy is vast, the Green Dragon’s minions cover the sky, our friends and comrades are equally numerous, from all around the world. Justice will prevail over evil!”

”To justice! To victory! Cheers!”

”Cheers!”

”Cheers!”

With everyone’s cheerful shout, the atmosphere of the banquet finally became harmonious and joyful.

The previous bits of rebelliousness quickly faded in facing the common enemy.

Constantine then asked concernedly: ”Can you continue telling us about the details on Green Dragon’s followers and the Demon Legion?”

Oerstein answered cautiously: ”Regarding the scale of Green Dragon’s followers, we don’t have detailed intelligence.”

”However, through interrogating captives, we roughly know the evil creatures controlled by the Green Dragon. These creatures either admire the Green Dragon’s power and voluntarily become its followers or fear its cruelty, forming an alliance with it and following it to plunder.”

”These races include the Dogman Tribe, Gnoll Tribe, Centaur Tribe, Forest Goblins, Giant, Ogre, as well as parts of Forest Giants, and Two-legged Flying Dragons.”

”These monsters are scattered throughout the vast Blood Pine Forest, their numbers uncountable; even the Green Dragon doesn’t know how many there are. Only after it awakens and gathers its followers for a raid will these monsters converge beneath its nest from all directions.”

Just hearing about such evil races, Su Li felt that the scale of the opponents was somewhat terrifying.

Even if a race has only two or three tribes, with each tribe having hundreds of monsters, the total would still number over ten thousand.

So many green dragon minions slaughtering under its wings, the scale is probably overwhelming.

Constantine resolutely said, ”We cannot sit idly by, we must attack decisively and promptly weaken the number of monsters. Otherwise, when it awakens and gathers all its followers, we will just become monster excrement.”

Su Li nodded his head, saying, ”Our tactics are also arranged this way; the entire west side of the Blood Pine Forest outer perimeter has already thinned under our strikes.”

”Moreover, we must not only deal with the green dragon’s minions, but also target the green dragon itself, taking away its important treasure and items.”

Constantine immediately responded, asking, ”Is Lord Su Li planning to send people into the dragon’s nest to loot its treasure?”

Knight Oerstein replied prudently, ”That is the plan, but all of this will not be easy. Our army has just cleared the western outer perimeter of the Blood Pine Forest, and there is still some distance to the dragon’s nest. It is difficult to send an army directly in to loot everything. Therefore, we can only send an adventure team inside.”

At this point, the half-elf hero Ashfield, sitting at the corner of the banquet long table, stood up voluntarily, saying, ”Lord, perhaps I can help if we are to enter the dragon’s nest to take the dragon’s treasure.”

Then he opened his palm, displaying a bronze ring with golden runes on it: ”This is a rune ring I acquired in my youth that can make friendly targets within three meters invisible.”

After speaking, he demonstrated it by wearing the ring on his left thumb, and instantly he and the knight beside him disappeared without a trace.

The key was that even their breathing and heartbeat sounds were shielded.

Su Li and Hilude’s eyes brightened simultaneously; with this item, the safety of successfully retrieving treasure from the dragon’s nest would be greatly enhanced.

Hilude immediately inquired, ”How long can this invisibility effect last? Is there any cost?”

Ashfield removed the ring from his hand, revealing the surrounding personnel, and said, ”How long it can stay invisible depends entirely on my physical condition. The more vigorous my physical strength, the longer it lasts.”

”But during maintenance, I would become exceptionally hungry, and must promptly replenish my energy.”

No wonder the half-elf hero carries a wilderness basket, it might really be necessary.

Su Li smiled and said, ”I will bring you the finest food, including Fire Rabbit meat and Light-Scaled Fish meat, to ensure you’re full of energy. This cost won’t be a significant problem.”

It’s fortunate that the ring’s feature relates to the half-elves’ love for gourmet food; if it related to their fondness for intimacy, that would be a headache.

If a ring’s effect was to enhance their uncontrollable desires, it would certainly be troublesome.

Hilude subsequently said, ”Lord, I also request to join this team, immediately head to the forest, and strive to return as quickly as possible.”

Dorglin also put down his wine glass, murmuring, ”My friends, how could a dwarf ranger be absent from this expedition team? Our wilderness survival experience can make us the best scouts for the team.”

A team with a human knight, a half-elf hero, and a bearded dwarf is already forming initially.

While contemplating who else to add, the territory’s Minister of Agriculture, Elf Druid Vandar Oak, said, ”Lord, perhaps I could be the last member of this team. A druid can use vines to help hide the team’s figures, cover scents, open paths, and in emergencies, heal wounds. The four of us going is sufficient to ensure the team’s success rate. Moreover, four can squeeze in the three-meter invisibility range to avoid being tracked.”

Su Li furrowed his brow slightly, glanced at Hilude and asked, ”What do you think? Will it be too stressful?”

Among these four persons are an old man, two dwarves, and a woman; those unaware would think it’s a vulnerable group...

Moreover, there’s not much combat power involved; only the dwarf ranger is champion-tier, but their explosive firearms can’t be used in stealth operations.

If they actually encounter danger, it might be difficult to handle.

Hilude nodded and said, ”Lord, I think this is fine. We are infiltrating the dragon’s nest here, the key is to ensure concealment of breath rather than fighting through. If stealth goes smoothly, this group is more than enough. If stealth does not go well, even a few more champion knights would probably be of no avail.”

”Makes sense,” Su Li thus made a decision, saying, ”Then you four go to the green dragon’s nest, led by my High-level Attendants Chief to command the team’s actions.”

”After the banquet, immediately gear up and head to the Blood Pine Forest overnight. I expect you to return smoothly within a few days. Once you bring back the green dragon’s treasure, we will deploy to the Gray Mountain Range to completely expel the wicked demons and cultists.”

”All the supplies for this operation will be covered by the territory.”

”Oh! Praise my big friends.” As Su Li finished speaking, Dorglin eagerly said, ”Dwarves need a bottle of Giant Brew to ensure combat power remains at its peak.”

Su Li smiled and patted his strong arm, saying, ”No problem, my friend. As long as you successfully complete this task, I will give you a barrel of Giant Brew when you return to the territory!”
