Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 32 You are surrounded by us

There is no army of thousands, but there is nothing wrong with a warband of wolfmen.

As the howling of the Gnolls sounded, a war band of Gnolls soon appeared in the ruins of the village.

A Gnoll Chapter is usually led by a Gnoll Chieftain, or more rarely by a Flinder Gnoll.

While the challenge level of an ordinary gnoll is only 1/2, the challenge level of Flinder's gnoll is as high as 9, almost as high as that of a young red dragon.

The Flinder Gnoll is not a normal Gnoll at all, it is a horrific creature created by the demon lord Yeenoghu, who uses divine omens and demonic insight to guide the Gnolls to slaughter, always leading the charge in battle, and its flail can cause severe pain, paralysis, and confusion to the enemy.

But Leon was lucky that the warband he killed was not led by a Flinder Gnoll. This was normal, as the number of Flinder Gnolls was so small that other Gnolls would regard them as special envoys of Yeenoghu.

At the same time, he was very unfortunate, because the leader of the regiment was a tall man with half of his face burned, a cultist loyal to Yeenoghu.

Granted, there are very few orcs, humans, or other humanoids willing to pledge their allegiance to Yeenoghu, but there are still a few who occasionally do.

In this case, Yeenoghu followers are all savages who have been inspired by madness, and their status is only one level higher than the hyenas who follow the regiment.

There are always unexpected things in everything. If a wise and capable person is willing to obey Yeenoghu's orders, the King of the Wolf Men may promote him to the position of leader of one of his own chapters.

A warband led by a cultist of this ability would be far more powerful than a pack of gnolls, achieving the feat of combining the savagery of the gnolls with the intelligence and strategy of the humanoids.

"The arms were chopped off, the head was chopped off, someone killed him."

The cult leader is examining the body of a dead gnoll.

He will decide the next move of the chapter based on the cause of the Jackal's death.

If the gnoll died at the hands of a beast, the Chapter would not have gone to such lengths for a beast. Now that the gnoll died at the hands of a weapon, it meant that someone was nearby, someone was following the Chapter. In this case, the Chapter could not remain indifferent.

"We have to find the murderer."

The intelligence of Flinder's werewolf is not low, but it is keen on slaughter and usually will not delay the advancement of the regiment for the death of weak werewolves. Only the cultists know that the advancement of the regiment is important, but if the enemy is not killed, the regiment will be devoured sooner or later.

The cultist sniffed, smelling nothing, and turned to look at the tall gnoll standing above him.

The Chapter had just destroyed a village, and was celebrating their victory with a demonic ritual, offering a blood sacrifice to Yeenoghu, a newly created Yeenoghu Fang by the demon lord, who had created it by letting the demon's spirit inhabit a gnoll.

Yeenoghu Fang is the chosen one of the demon lords. When it feeds the enemies it kills to ordinary hyenas, the hyenas will undergo a terrible transformation and grow into adult jackals. If there are many hyenas in the war group, Yeenoghu Fang can help the war group expand rapidly.

Ordinary gnolls have low intelligence, but Yeenoghu's fangs are not. In fact, it is not a gnoll at all, but has become a demon.

Yeenoghu Fang sniffed here and there, and found the smell of the enemy was very strong, which meant that the enemy had not been away for long.

"Headed east, towards the sun. Just walked."

The language of the gnolls is very simple, consisting of whines, gurgles, and howls mixed with gestures and expressions, and can only convey some basic concepts, such as warnings, or calling on their allies to join the battle. At this time, Yeenoghu Fang communicated with the cultists in Abyssal Language.

"Catch up."

"kill him."

"Offer his blood as a sacrifice to Lord Yeenoghu."

The cultist stood on the ruins with one foot and roared towards the east. As his roar fell, the gnoll warriors holding pitchforks rushed out first. Their pitchforks were taken from the dead villagers, otherwise they only had spears made of wood and bones.

Close behind are the Gnoll Scavengers, who use agility to enhance their savagery, preferring speed and efficiency in the swing of a short sword to kill their foes.

As the warband rested on the ruins of the village, the Gnoll Hunters stood guard all around, causing their movements to be slow.

Finally, there are Yeenoghu Fang and the Cultist, with the Cultist appearing as the finale leader of the chapter.

On the other hand, Leon, who knew nothing at this time, left the ruins of the village but did not spread his wings and leave.

He was attracted by the wheat planted in the strips outside the village. As a southerner, he had only seen rice and had never seen wheat before, so he could not imagine that wheat was not planted in water.

There was really nothing good to see in the wheat, so it was enough to satisfy my curiosity. Soon after I finished looking at the wheat, Leon was attracted by the scarecrow. It is said that a witch or evil spell will bind the devil's spirit in the scarecrow, and from then on it will become a moving scarecrow to serve its master.

After seeing the Scarecrow, go see the Water Mill, and you’ll see De Lyon at the Water Mill.

The old waterwheel sits quietly beside the clear stream. As the water flows, the wooden blades of the waterwheel turn, driving the huge gears to turn slowly, making a creaking sound.

Inside the mill, huge gears transmit power, driving the millstone to start turning.

The morning sun shone on the waterwheel and the stream, creating a peaceful and beautiful medieval rural scene. Who could have imagined that the village not far away was in ruins after being ravaged by the werewolves, with no one left alive?

Leon watched for a long time, then jumped into the stream with great interest. He hadn't swum for a long time since leaving the mother dragon's territory, and he missed it a little.

Leon was lying on the bottom of the river with his whole body submerged in the water, leaving only his head exposed on the shore, basking in the sun.

The wind is blowing.

It feels so comfortable in the sun.

Leon was enjoying it when he suddenly heard unusual footsteps coming.

clap clap-

rustling --

Leon opened his eyes and saw three gnolls holding daggers standing in front of him, four gnolls holding pitchforks scattered around, and two gnolls holding bows on the left and right...

On this side, the cultists and Yeenoghu Fang also chased to the water mill.

"Bug, you are surrounded by us."

The cultist said as he squinted into the sunlight, seeing a dragon slowly emerging from the river.

Bright scarlet scales reflected the sunlight.

Yes, that is the red dragon, the most powerful of all the color dragons.

The red dragon did not stop. It raised its front legs and stood up using its hind legs and tail to support itself. It was taller than the mill. When it spread its wings, it was bigger than the mill. Then it reached out and grabbed a flying sword. The sword was longer than a hunchbacked werewolf.

The cultist swallowed.
