Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 36 Orcs
If Leon had not heard that there was a treasure hidden in the abandoned fortress, he might not have chosen to cause trouble for the group of orcs entrenched in the abandoned fortress.

Yes, he didn't care too much about money. He wasn't like the mother dragon who was reluctant to give even a copper coin to her own children, nor was he like the dragon girl who treasured a silver coin she found. But it wasn't that he hated money. It was just that if it was just a coincidence, why would he turn it away?
What's more, besides money, there must be something else in the treasure... Maybe there are many magical items. It would be great if there was a magic sword. If it was a wrist guard, he could wear it on his finger as a ring. Apart from that, he probably couldn't use anything else. He couldn't wear a helmet, armor, or shoes.

The abandoned fortress was located on a small mound in a nearby forest, with dark trees surrounding its broken walls. Based on the goblin's intelligence, Leon easily found the abandoned fortress without spending much effort.

The abandoned castle had a broken battlement. There was actually a ballista on the round tower, a giant crossbow that fired heavy crossbow arrows, but it looked scrapped. Beyond the broken wall, the spire of the chapel building could be seen. The central tower had collapsed, and there was a big crack...

After circling in the sky briefly and observing the abandoned fortress, Leon flapped his wings and dived onto the watchtower. He bent down and stretched his neck to look inside the tower. He saw an orc sentry looking around, but he forgot to look at the sky above his head.

"Sound the alarm and gather your people."

Leon had no intention of scaring the orc sentry, but when he heard the sound coming from behind and looked back to see a huge dragon head, the orc sentry was still startled and almost fell off the sentry tower. The wall of the sentry tower helped him.

After Leon finished speaking, he didn't care what happened to the orc sentry in the end. He retracted his head and looked around. He thought that there were too many places to hide people in this ruined fortress. If the orcs hid in towers and blockhouses, his flying sword would need to be in sight, and his huge body would make it inconvenient for him to chase in, so it might be difficult to deal with them.

Leon waited, but the alarm never rang. Could it be that the orc sentry was so frightened that he just yelled?

The orc sentry originally suspected that he had seen or heard something wrong, but when he heard the roar coming from above his head, he was still startled. He came to his senses and quickly rang the alarm bell.

dong dong dong-

dong dong dong-

As the bell rang and echoed in the ruined fortress, all the orcs in the abandoned fortress were alarmed.

"Why did the bell ring?"

Deka is the leader of a group of orcs entrenched in the ruined fortress. He has a low forehead and a pig-like face, with long fangs that point upwards on his lower jaw, but one fang is missing. The remaining one has an iron ring on it. He has a strong body and his arms are as big as his thighs.

"The bell sounds wrong." Different bell sounds mean different situations. It could be that it's getting dark or that the enemy is attacking. Hearing the bell sound that was obviously different from the past, Deka grabbed the long sword with the serrated edge and stood up. "I'll go take a look."

"I'll go take a look too." Luo Luge's appearance was obviously different from Deka. It was not because he was older, obviously older than Deka, but because he looked obviously not as barbaric. The reason was that he was not an orc, but a half-orc.

His human bloodline did not give him any flaws. He was as strong, durable, and bloodthirsty as a pure-blooded orc. In fact, his human bloodline gave him just the right amount of cunning, ambition, and self-discipline to help him become a respected priest. When it came to disagreements, his words might be more effective than Deka's.

The orcs and half-orcs walked out of the temporary command post, which was the chapel of the ruined fortress, one after another. They saw that the central atrium was full of orc warriors, each of them looking at the watchtower and pointing.

"That's..." Deka followed everyone's gaze and saw a monster covered with red scales standing on the sentry tower. "Red dragon." Luo Luge said, "That's a red dragon."

"Why is it so small?" Deka remembered that the dragons in the story were very big, covering the sky and blocking out the sun, and could smash a small house with a slap. But the red dragon that appeared in front of him at this moment... Looking closely, it was not even as big as the wyvern he killed.

"Because it's a young dragon." Luo Luge has lived for a few years, and age has given him a wealth of knowledge. The age of a dragon can be easily seen from its disproportionate head, horns on the top of its head, and so on.

At the same time, Lyon lay on the sentry tower, watching the orcs gathering in the central atrium. There were dozens of them, and even an ogre. Finally, two distinctive orcs came out - he couldn't quite tell the difference between orcs and half-orcs - and roared and said loudly: "Orcs, surrender to me."

Orcs are neither kobolds nor goblins, and are not that easy to scare.

Lyon waited for a long time, but no orc showed any intention of surrendering. They all held weapons and stood ready, swearing or looking at their leader and priest.

Seeing that the orc did not respond, Leon did not know what to do for a moment. He stuck out his tongue to lick his teeth and the air. There was a foul smell in the air. He threatened decisively: "Don't speak? Now I will count to ten. If you still don't surrender after I count, don't blame me for being rude then."

Leon ignored the shouting of the ordinary orcs, his eyes fell on the last two orcs who came out, and began to count. Although he felt that it was not very useful before he showed his strength.

"An adult dragon would be fine, but a baby dragon wants us to surrender?" Deka bared his teeth and ignored the red dragon's threat.

"Wait... let me talk to it." The orcs are not interested in treaties, trade negotiations or diplomacy. They only care about an insatiable desire to fight, crush their enemies and satisfy their gods. However, as a half-orc priest, Rorug has a clearer mind.

"What are you waiting for? Watch me chop off his head, take its head off and kick it like a ball, and we will all eat dragon meat together tonight." Deka waved the knife.

"That young dragon..." Luo Luge pointed at the tower, "Maybe we can use it to deal with that thing."

"No need." Deka looked at the tower, "I will kill that monster myself."

"If you just want to be a soldier," Luo Luge paused and said, "As an officer, in addition to using blood to maintain your dignity, you must also learn to use your brain."

Deka was silent.

On this side, Leon deliberately slowed down the counting speed, because if possible, he didn't want to fight. What if the two sides got angry, what would happen to his followers? Finally, at the last second, he waited for one of the two orcs who was obviously the leader to stand up.
