Red Dragon has magic

Chapter 49 Painting Cake
Although the earth elf warlord immediately expressed his surrender upon seeing the red dragon, in fact, it was only because of the red dragon's powerful force, sharp teeth and claws, and fiery breath. If possible, he would actually prefer to surrender to the green dragon which is weaker than the red dragon.

The foolish goblins, who only lived for a few years or more than ten years, knew nothing and thought that all dragons were the same. But he knew that red dragons were moody and that one had to be extremely careful when serving them.

Especially since they are not orcs without any order, they have strategic thinking. However, these strategic thinking may not be fully utilized under the red dragon, because the red dragon will most likely just let everyone rush forward.

Leon didn't know what the hobgoblin warlord was thinking, but even if he knew, he could only smile helplessly.

What is worrying him now is that he had thought carefully about how to attack the hobgoblin camp, such as executing the decapitation plan to kill the hobgoblin warlord and then slowly recruiting the remaining people. He had never thought about the situation that the hobgoblin warlord would surrender without firing a single shot. The treatment of surrender before the war and surrender after defeat must be different.

Leon thought for a moment. Compared to when he was just born and his brain was often not working well enough, his brain works much faster now. Of course, he is still inexperienced. He has to suffer a loss once before he can learn the lesson.

"Since you have chosen me wisely, I am very happy." Leon took a deep breath and looked around. "Your camp is great. My army will take over from now on."

"You want the orcs to take over our camp?" The hobgoblin warlord couldn't imagine what would happen if a group of orcs took over their camp. At this moment, he suddenly realized that he was a little excited just now, "No, master, I mean..."

The hobgoblin warlord took two deep breaths to calm down, and said, "We are also subordinates of the master. We don't need anyone else to take over our camp, and..."

"I don't want to hear reasons." The red dragon roared, thinking that if he wanted to open the window, he would have to pretend to lift the roof. "Okay, you don't have to hand over the camp, but the condition is-"

What conditions would be easier for the hobgoblin warlord to accept? Leon was confused again. He thought about it and said, "Give me half of the supplies in your camp."

It doesn't matter if the earth elf warlord disagrees. Just bargain and bid as much as you want.

"No problem." The hobgoblin warlord agreed very straightforwardly. It's just a few supplies. If you want them, take them. If you don't have any, capture slaves to cut down trees. Those goblins can't go to the battlefield. Aren't they used for these things? Besides, half of them are left.

The hobgoblin warlord agreed so readily that Leon wondered if he had asked for too little. He wanted to change his mind, but then he thought he couldn't go back on his word and ask for half. A little more or a little less wouldn't hurt.

"Since you agreed to hand over half of the supplies, let's forget about this matter today, but you still have to make offerings every month in the future." Leon said. He didn't love money that much, but he didn't hate it either. Money is not everything, but without money, nothing is possible.

How much is the offering required? Leon wanted to say tithe. The tithe might not be as much as that required in human territory, but he had no idea how much it would be. He waved his hand and said, "We'll talk about the specific amount later."

"Finally, you still have to fight for me." Lyon continued. In fact, this is what he cares about most at the moment. He wants to unify the forest. More strength means a higher chance of success.

Before the hobgoblin warlord could answer, footsteps were heard and a hobgoblin ran over. He glanced at Leon and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"From today on, Lord Red Dragon is our master. If you have anything to say, just tell us." The hobgoblin warlord remembered that he had not yet answered the red dragon. "Of course, we will fight whoever the master tells us to fight. We will eliminate all the master's enemies."

Leon nodded with satisfaction.

"You can continue talking." The hobgoblin warlord reminded the hobgoblin who had just come over. "Those orcs appeared at the gate of our camp." The hobgoblin said.

If it weren't for what the hobgoblin said, Leon almost forgot about those orcs and said, "They are my people, you don't have to be nervous... You, come out with us now." He glanced at the hobgoblin warlord.

"Master, what's going on?" Outside the hobgoblin camp, Deka was a little confused when he saw Lyon and the hobgoblin warlord walking out together. He looked left and right.

"They have already surrendered to me," Leon said, "so there is no need to fight."

Deka opened his mouth and closed it again. He felt like the sky was falling. The hobgoblins had surrendered. What should he do with his plan to challenge the hobgoblin warlord alone? What should he do with everyone else's plundering plan?
Leon had lived in the abandoned fortress for a few days. He knew very well that the orcs had eaten and drunk everything. The goblins in half of the forest could not rob anything and could not squeeze out any profit. They were just waiting for this wave of plunder. He said, "I know what you think, but the goblin has already surrendered to me."

Leon gently wagged his tail and licked his teeth. He did not expect things to develop so quickly. He said, "There are still human villages outside the forest. They will definitely not surrender to me easily and will definitely fight back. You don't have to worry."

Leon knew very well that he couldn't let the orcs make a wasted trip today, otherwise they would definitely become disloyal. Although he didn't think the orcs were a grateful race, disloyalty was harmless. His military force was the key. He looked at the earth elf warlord and said:
"Prepare food and drinks for these orcs. These will be taken from the supplies you promised to give me."

"Also, I saw the workshop in your camp. You have the ability to make weapons and equipment. I require you to give the extra weapons and equipment to the orcs, and deduct them from the supplies you promised to give me."

Leon was talking about the orcs. Compared to the hobgoblins, the orcs really looked no different from refugees, but they were also fleeing here.

Leon looked at the agitated orcs and reminded them, "What are you thinking about? This is just something I lent you. You must return it to me double in the future."

"Three days." Leon took a deep breath, "In three days I will attack the human village outside the forest. You all need to contribute."

"The human villages are rich. As long as you capture the human villages and hand over half of the spoils, the rest will be yours." Leon has never been a leader, but he has never eaten pork, but he has seen pigs run away. Can't he draw cakes? It is a very simple thing.

The orcs cheered.

Lyon quickly turned to look at the hobgoblin warlord. He knew what the hobgoblin was interested in, and said, "Depending on your performance, I will give you different rewards, including but not limited to a position above those orcs... I am very optimistic about you, perhaps you can become my glorious first legion."

When the hobgoblin warlord heard Leon's words, his expression remained unchanged, but his breathing became a little heavier. He finally realized that the red dragon in front of him was different.

The hobgoblins have their own camps, and the orcs have their own abandoned fortresses, one on each side of the forest. Thinking of this, Leon said, "I'll give you three days to prepare. During these three days, you can prepare your weapons and equipment, have a good rest, and then gather together..."

The gathering place chosen by Leon was at the foot of the mountain where he originally lived.
