The Journey of the Rainbow Dragon.

Under the counter-encirclement and suppression of the Centaur Tribe, annihilation is the only outcome for the Wild Wolf Mercenaries.

一夜之间

The news of the demise of the former Red Earth Third Mercenary Group swept across the entire Red Earth Highlands with the evening breeze.

No one dared to provoke these big guys running on four legs, holding spears and bows and arrows.

The Centaur tribe, which had been in disarray due to the merger of many tribes, was completely integrated under the pressure of this battle, and its cohesion reached an unprecedented level.

Under the leadership of the only leader "Kaz"

The original small tribe gradually became the only super-large Centaur tribe on the Red Soil Plateau, and even began to build their own city!

Logically

Upon learning of the emergence of a non-human intelligent race of this size, the Red Army should have sent troops to encircle and suppress them long ago.

However, the commander of the Red Army, Eugene Talloran, seemed to be blind to this group of people and allowed them to grow stronger.

He even issued an order to forbid the Red Legion from having disputes with the Centaurs, and allowed the Centaurs to enter the Molten City openly to trade for the items they needed, and they enjoyed the same treatment standards as humans in the city.

This left all parties somewhat puzzled.

Isn't this just raising horses and causing trouble?
Many respected elders had visited the Red Army to try to persuade them to understand the seriousness of the matter.

But without exception, they were all turned away by Legion Commander Eugene.

Molten City

Red Army Station

The tall flame tower stood in the center of the entire camp like a burning flagpole.

This ancient building, built seven hundred years ago, is not only a spiritual symbol for the soldiers, but also a beacon in the camp, illuminating this vast land every night.

However, recently, there has been some noisy noises surrounding the Flame Tower.

In a corner of the camp, two soldiers wearing scarlet light armor were whispering.

Suddenly, their conversation was interrupted by a sharp, angry shout from inside the tower.

"You are playing with fire!"

An angry voice echoed in the tower:
"That group of people are already building their own city. If we don't deal with them, all the humans in Molten City will face a huge threat!"

"Eugene! Eugene! Did you hear me?"

The cry sounded both urgent and helpless, as if a long-ignored piece of advice was suddenly forced out, but the listener still turned a deaf ear to it.

The commotion in the tower attracted the attention of the soldiers.

Two soldiers wearing scarlet light armor quickly straightened their backs and walked quickly into the Flame Tower after receiving the order.

a moment later

They carried an old man with white hair and a beard that reached down to his chest out of the tower, one on each side, and politely "asked him to leave" the camp.

Before leaving, the old man kept repeating words like "raising a tiger will bring disaster" and "you will regret it".

If someone well-informed saw the old man's face, he would surely exclaim:
"Alta, the wise man who disappeared for many years, has appeared in the Red Earth Highlands!"

Alta the Wise
He was once a highly respected strategist of the Rose Kingdom. With his eloquent tongue, he once resolved a crisis in the war between the Rose Kingdom and the Frost Kingdom and made great contributions to peace.

Although it was once glorious

But to the soldiers of the Red Army, this old man was just another member of the "Old Man Group" who wanted to persuade their leader.

In the past few months, they have seen countless wise men and sages who were full of confidence but then returned disappointed.

Most of them did not stay in the Flame Tower for long, and were eventually "asked" to leave by the leader politely but firmly.

This has become a "routine operation" to the point that some soldiers have even begun to enjoy it, making bets in their spare time to see whether today's "wise man" can stay in the tower a little longer.

As for the Centaurs that these wise men mentioned so earnestly, most of the soldiers scoffed at them.

"Just another stronger ant."

They discussed this in private.

The soldiers of the Red Army have an almost fanatical trust in their commander.

They believed that no matter how powerful the Centaurs were, the captain would always be able to lead them to victory.

In the past, the Red Army was almost invincible in the annual Five-Color Army Competition, which made them confident in their own combat effectiveness and even looked down on the other four-color legions.

Just like the proud red dragon in the legend never takes the other four-colored dragons seriously.

In the eyes of the Red Army soldiers, any potential threat is nothing but a paper tiger that will be easily defeated by the red torrent.

However, what they don't know is.

At this moment, deep in the Flame Tower, the legion commander who they thought was invincible fell into another situation.

Sitting on a large iron chair, Eugene rubbed his brows with a helpless look on his face, trying to relieve his inner depression.

Regarding this group of "little guys" who can neither be beaten nor scolded.

Eugene also felt deeply powerless in dealing with it.

These impolite little guys were so rude in their criticism that they completely forgot that they are also old men who are as old as 400 years old!
How could I not know about the threat posed by the Centaurs?
The key is that there is a demigod dragon standing behind the opponent!

The worst thing was that he was forced to sign a master-servant contract.

To a certain extent, the Centaurs and the Red Legion are both followers of the same master and have a comrade-in-arms relationship.

Even though I really want to tell it all.

Thinking of the instructions given by the Dragon Lord before he left, Eugene could only rack his brains to maintain the current balance.

Anyway
The day when everything is revealed is not far away.

Eugene thought about this and couldn't help but sigh.

He casually lit a brand new top-secret intelligence envelope. The flames made a slight crackling sound as they devoured the paper.

In the brief firelight, one could vaguely see the contents of the letter, which was the information about the old king choosing Vivian as the next heir.

At the moment when the letter was completely burned.

"boom!"

A dull thud was heard from the entrance of the Flame Tower.

Eugene frowned, his eyes instantly turning to the door.

"Captain! Captain! Captain!"

A hurried call was heard, and a scout in white leather armor rolled into the room in a panic.

His camouflage suit was covered with gray-brown ice chips, which quickly melted under the high temperature of the Flame Tower, forming a large pool of water.

Eugene looked at the scene in front of him, shook his head slightly, and then began to scold:

"Lu Qi, didn't I tell you that you are no longer a soldier charging at the front, but a trainee scout! You must be steady and careful in the future. Why are you still so clumsy!"

Although his words were reproachful, Eugene's actions were gentle.

He pulled Lu Qi up from the ground, patted the dust off his shoulders, and asked with concern:

"I remember that you were transferred to the Ice Peak Mountains a few days ago to be responsible for connecting the supply line with the Frost Legion, right?"

"What happened? Why are you so flustered?"

I was surprised to hear that the legion commander still remembered my name and assignment, and even personally tidied up my appearance.

Scout Lu Qi's face suddenly turned red with excitement. An indescribable emotion surged from the bottom of his heart, and he could hardly suppress his gratitude.

But thinking of the urgent information he was about to convey, he tried to calm his excitement and stammered:

"Captain! Captain! Something big has happened!"

"Ice! Ice! Ice!"

Seeing that he was trembling all over and having difficulty speaking, Eugene immediately reached out and patted Lu Qi on the back, and scolded him with a teasing tone:
"Speak clearly! You're just embarrassing me by stuttering!"

As Eugene clapped his hands, a gentle force flowed into Lu Qi's body through his palms, instantly dispelling the coldness lurking in his body.

Eugene, who has lived for more than four hundred years, knows this very well.

Places like the Frozen Mountains are not places for humans to stay!
Apart from the Frost Legion composed of local indigenous people stationed in the Frost Mountains all year round, and the Red Legion soldiers responsible for transporting supplies, there are almost no other adventurers who dare to set foot in the harsh snowy mountains.

After all, the environment there is really too harsh!
In the mountains covered with snow all year round, there are countless mammoths, frost worms, white dragons, frost giants and other terrifying creatures hidden, making this place more like a maze of death.

In addition to various ferocious polar creatures.

The extreme environment of over forty degrees below zero all year round is the biggest killer in the entire frozen mountains!
Many Red Army soldiers who arrived there would suffer from permanent frostbite within three years.

It was not uncommon for soldiers to freeze to death due to carelessness.

It is for this reason that Eugene implements the strategy of rotating the relevant liaison personnel between the Red Legion and the Frost Legion every year.

The scout Luchi was one of the veteran soldiers who were sent to replace the veterans stationed in the Frost Mountains three months ago.

Eugene looked outside, then looked at Lu Qi with some doubt, with a hint of worry in his tone:

"Tell me, why are you the only one back? Where are the others?"

Lu Qi seemed to be awakened by these words, and the warmth in his body gradually brought him back to consciousness.

But when he saw Eugene's inquiring eyes, he couldn't help but feel a sore nose and choked up:
“All dead!”

"What!?"

Eugene frowned, feeling uneasy.

He could feel that the despair in Lu Qi's words was genuine, and a bad premonition began to rise in his heart.

the other side

Lu Qi's defenses seemed to be punctured, and all his emotions at this moment were like a flood that broke through a dam.

His voice trembled with grief and tears flowed uncontrollably:
"My brothers all died under the claws of those damn white dragons in order to cover me up..."

"White Dragon?"

Eugene's brows knitted together instantly. His sturdy body slowly enveloped Lu Qi like a dark cloud, and he asked in a low voice:

"What happened? What happened to you? Where are those guys from the Frost Legion? Why didn't they come to support us?"

A series of questions came out of Eugene's mouth calmly.

Hearing these words, Lu Qi's expression became even more painful, and the memories made him feel like he was falling into the abyss.

He suddenly held his head, his voice mixed with despair and fear:
"Crazy! They're all crazy!"

He took a step back tremblingly, as if trying to get rid of the nightmare in his heart:

"Boss! Those snow elves in the Frost Kingdom have all gone crazy!"

"They are leading the White Dragon Army across the border and attacking us!"

"I saw with my own eyes that my brothers' armor was torn off by those beasts, and they were chewed and swallowed alive. Their screams echoed in my ears! But I, I couldn't save them. I was useless. I could only run. I..."

Eugene's heart sank when he heard these words.

He grabbed the shoulders of Lu Qi, who had already started to go crazy, and tried to calm him down:
"Calm down! Don't let fear consume you!

"Tell me, why didn't the Frost Legion support you? And what about that guy Frost Moon? Why didn't I receive any warning signals?"

hear the words
Lu Qi raised his head, despair almost overflowing from his eyes.
"because."

He murmured in a hoarse voice:

"The Frost Legion has been completely annihilated!" (End of this chapter)
