Ember Dragon

It was not until they flew out of Longshou City that Mantou asked curiously, "What kind of mission is it that made you rush here so hastily? Where are Brother Zhan Kuang and Qiu Yu?"

"They are already prepared and are waiting at the portal."

"Where does it lead to?"

"The City of Flying Dragons, which was the former capital of the High Mountain Dwarf Kingdom - Avenderdan."

Mantou slapped his head and said in understanding, "So it is there, hasn't the war mission in Gaoshan Kingdom been completed yet?
I heard that there wasn't much room for maneuver in that siege battle. The whole process was just about transporting supplies, and the players who responded to the call didn't get much benefit. Only the tank soldiers of the Mechanicus had a good time. "

"It's not a bad deal. Brother Kai's exclusive cutscenes are quite exciting. It's like watching a movie."

Singo smiled with a hint of self-mockery: "When the incarnation of the dwarf god descended, all the players who participated in the battle, including myself, were very excited. Who has ever seen such a high-level boss? If we get the first kill, won't we be able to call ourselves godslayers?
I didn't expect that after all our heavy bombardment, the dwarf boss didn't even lose a layer of skin. Not long after, Brother Kai ran out to clean up the mess. He is really a hard worker."

"really."

Hearing this, Mantou nodded in agreement.

The Burning Empire can be said to be a bug-level existence among the many camps in Feanso. It has rich resources, diverse promotion channels, and powerful sub-camp professions - of course, the most important thing is that it has an emperor who can be called a deus ex machina.

A few months ago, a new player chose to pledge allegiance to Duke Walter, excitedly joined the "North Ethel Garrison", and openly challenged players from the Empire camp on the forum.

As a result, not long after, the Empire launched a war on North Ethel, and the city where the player was stationed was bombed into ruins. Facing the tanks that were crushing on him, the player let out a desperate wail, "This is not magic at all!"

Later, the player fought to the death, leading the remnants of Ethel's defeated troops in street fighting, but was arrested by the Imperial Guard and forced to join the Burning Empire.

He was also tried by the Imperial Wartime Inquisition and required to perform three years of compulsory labor and pay thousands of gold coins in war reparations, but that is a story for another time.

A famous meme has emerged in the forum: New players who haven't joined the Burning Empire don't have to worry, because one day you will be forced to join the empire.

Thinking of this, Mantou asked, "So this time we are going to suppress the rebellion of Avenderdan? That kind of mission is meaningless, there are old bitches lurking in corners everywhere."

"No." Singo shook his head.

“It seems that many of the dwarf citizens evacuated in advance, but their soldiers were as stubborn as rocks, and almost all of them died on the battlefield. They were a worthy opponent.

The current Avenderdan, or the Dragon Capital, has completely become a military base of the Empire and a new dragon breeding base, similar to the Dragon Valley in Anzeta."

"So what are we going to do?"

"You don't know this, but I have inside information. The imperial authorities will soon issue a special mission - cleansing the Ugo Prairie."

"Cleaning?"

"Yes, it is a purge. As far as I know, there are nearly three million orcs in the Ugo Prairie now, and the official requirement of the empire is to kill them all."

"Three million?" Mantou was shocked. "Where did so many come from? They are almost as many as the total number of players. Did they grow out of the ground?"

"It really is."

Singo smiled and said, "According to the biological priests of the Mechanicus, this type of orc is more like a combination of fungi and animals, and can reproduce asexually."

Mantou was amazed and said, "Wow, these are real green skins. They won't use the power of thinking, right? That's a bit scary."

"It shouldn't be that serious. However, what you should pay more attention to is how much experience three million orcs can bring us!"

"Shh-"

The wyvern's silver-rimmed wings sliced ​​through the air, sparks gushing from behind it as it flew towards the large portal in the distance.

"Damn, slow down. It's not a big deal to have a mount set—" Mantou leaned down and swooped down on his pterosaur.

This is the name Tahan, which means "conquer the south".

The space mages of the Burning Empire put all their efforts and expended huge amounts of resources to forge a giant constant portal.

Through this portal, the imperials can go to various cities in Anzeta, such as Isdalia, North Wind Castle, Stratford Castle, etc., or go to the newly connected Avendeldan, or even go to the Black Iron City on the elemental plane of fire.

Xia Ye Qiuyu and Tiansheng Zhan Kuang have been waiting at the portal leading to the Flying Dragon City for a long time.

Mantou took a quick look and realized that after not seeing him for several months, the appearance of the natural war maniac was already developing in an "inhuman" direction.

The iron-like muscles were about to tear the clothes on his body. The two strong arms were thicker than the waist of an ordinary person, covered with hard scales, and bone spurs grew at the elbows.

The natural war maniac's eyes were as sharp as knives, like some large carnivorous monster, with violent murderous intent revealed deep in his pupils - only the bald head was still as shiny, and the patina was thicker.

Xia Ye Qiu Yu has also changed a lot. Perhaps due to the transformation of the dragon vein, her skin has become whiter and smoother, with almost no pores visible. She is no longer like an ordinary person, and red scales have appeared on her cheeks.

At the same time, Xia Ye Qiuyu's temperament became more noble. The dragon horns on her head became quite slender, and her golden vertical pupils revealed a mysterious aura. A pair of tender wings grew behind her, and her whole body exuded a faint dragon power.

A look at the panels of these two people shows that one is a [Level 12 Dragon Vein Barbarian] and the other is a [Level 12 Dragon Bond Warlock], both of which are close to the level cap of the current version.

He is indeed a professional player.

Mantou couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart. As he had been idle all day and had not done his job properly, he had only just reached level ten.

He smiled and waved, "Long time no see, Sister Qiuyu has become more and more beautiful, and Brother Zhan Kuang is still the same as before. He has a kind of strong beauty."

Mantou almost blurted out what was in his heart - "He still has the same beastly face but a human heart."

"Indeed, we haven't seen each other for such a long time, and you haven't updated any video yet." Xia Ye Qiuyu smiled with bright eyes and her tone was still gentle, but it made Mantou feel a little chilly, as if the shadow of a giant dragon appeared behind him.

Mantou shuddered: "Ah, it is true, I have been busy collecting materials recently."

Tiansheng Zhan Kuang touched his bald head, grinned, showing his full white teeth, and then patted Mantou on the shoulder: "Mantou, as a creator, you must be diligent in production!"

Mantou smiled awkwardly: "Of course, of course."

Singo looked around and said, "Let's go to Flying Dragon City. The official announcement should be out soon. Let's just go and get the mission."

"Yes, let's go and do the task, first come first served!" Mantou quickly agreed as if he had found a savior.

"it is good."

The four of them stepped into the portal together, passed through the space tunnel, and appeared in the Flying Dragon City in just a moment.

"Ow—"

Noisy howling sounds resounded through the sky. Everyone looked up and saw that the sky was full of flapping two-legged dragons, casting messy shadows. In the distance, the caves on the rock walls were also inhabited by various sub-dragons.

"Ah~~" Noodles, led by the steamed bun, stretched out its neck and howled towards the sky with extreme excitement, attracting many two-legged flying dragons to respond.

Seeing this scene, Mantou couldn't help but open his mouth wide and muttered to himself: "There are so many, it really deserves to be the capital of flying dragons"

Singo explained: "Compared to the Dragon Valley, the environment here is warmer and more suitable for the survival of wyverns. It is said that the Red Scale Trial dungeon is also open here."

At this point, he smirked, "But the terrain of Black Rock Mountain is steeper and more dangerous than that of Flying Dragon Valley. If you lose your footing, you will probably be smashed into a pulp."

Mantou also showed a gloating smile: "Hehe, they will suffer this."

Tiansheng Zhankuang asked, "Where can I get the mission?"

"Follow me, we are going to the military command post in the Dragon City, which was previously the Dwarf Palace."

"Ah, you are finally here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

A hobgoblin colonel came up and shook Singo's hand warmly.

"This is Earl Mantou, right? Hahaha, long time no see."

"Hello."

Mantou also stepped forward to shake hands.

He knew the colonel, a rare indigenous Chilin conqueror named Holland Ross, who now served in the Imperial Air Force.

The Earth Elf looked at Tiansheng Zhan Kuang and Xia Ye Qiu Yu behind him, observing their obvious dragon characteristics, and naturally did not dare to neglect them: "These two are..."

Singo introduced them, "One of them is a powerful berserker, and the other is a contract warlock like Master Misha. Both are famous strong men."

Holland also greeted them one by one and said with a smile: "You are all the pillars of the empire. Your Majesty's great blueprint will definitely have a place for you."

Singo placed his hand on his chest, performed a standard loyalty salute, and said solemnly: "For the Empire."

"For the Empire."

Everyone said in unison.

Soon, Tiansheng Zhan Kuang and Xia Ye Qiu Yu were assigned to the ground forces, while Mantou and Singo followed Holland to a mysterious place - as air force capable of flying dragons, they will shoulder heavier responsibilities in this mission.

The three of them walked along the corridor of the former dwarf palace, first entered an underground secret passage, and then passed through one heavy iron door after another.

Mantou was a little curious: "Where are we going?"

Without even turning his head, Holland said, "It's an armory, and it's an extremely special armory."

Singo explained in a low voice: "It contains things made by the monks of the [Source Huan Xiu Society]."

Hearing about [Yuan Huan Xiu Hui], Mantou couldn't help but be shocked: "Damn, is that the group of big bastards? I can probably guess what the mission is this time."

Singo nodded. "If we accidentally set that arsenal on fire, the bombs inside would be able to blow up the entire Black Rock Mountain and turn the Dragon City into ruins."

"The total explosive yield of those bombs is only 100,000 tons. They definitely can't destroy Black Rock Mountain, but the latter one should be able to do it."

The person who spoke was a white man wearing camouflage uniform and glasses - it was the sage of the [Source Huan Order], Curtis.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Curtis." Holland hurried forward.

Curtis nodded and said with a smile, "This is what I should do. I feel particularly honored to be able to see the artwork I studied shine on the battlefield."

After saying this, he left in a hurry.

Looking at the tall and thin figure, Mantou couldn't help but sigh in a low voice: "This is the famous big fry, you can't judge a person by his appearance, he looks quite gentle and refined."

Singo complained: "He is a madman, thinking about how to destroy the world all day long. If the Empire had not been able to provide him with funds, he would have started to explode indiscriminately a long time ago."

Mantou was amazed: "The world is so big, there are so many strange things. There are actually people who can scare a lunatic like you."

"Stop talking nonsense, we are almost there."

Soon, the three of them walked to the end and came to an iron door. With a dull sound, the heavy iron door slowly opened.

The smell of gunpowder, glycerin and metal filled the air. In the spacious warehouse, countless bombs were neatly stacked - white phosphorus bombs, incendiary bombs, thermobaric bombs, fuel-air explosive bombs, napalm bombs and other new bombs all appeared here.

The armory was extremely busy, with players from the Yuanhuan Society driving various large transport equipment and recording various data.

Holland turned around and said to the two with a smile: "You two, welcome to join the Imperial Special Operations Aviation Corps."

Looking up at the mountain of bombs, Mantou couldn't help but open his mouth, his face full of surprise.

"How many bombs are stored here?"

"A lot, enough to wipe out three million orcs. I will also equip you with the most advanced air force equipment. With the help of levitation magic devices, your flying dragons will be able to carry several tons of bombs."

The hobgoblin said, and then a hint of cruelty appeared in his eyes: "Your Majesty said it himself that the existence of orcs is a hidden danger to the empire and is not conducive to our great blueprint.

This time, as members of the Special Aviation Corps, your mission is to completely eliminate the threat of the orcs and treat them to a sumptuous barbecue."

As soon as he finished speaking, the task panel appeared in front of Mantou and Singo.
