Knight Lord: Start with Daily Intelligence.

Chapter 159: Wonderful Architecture: Emerald Ring
Looking at the densely packed orc camps that dotted the mountains, and the countless monsters roaming and fighting within, the timid Ashfield began to cry, "Hilde, are you sure we're going to go through this camp? I've already seen at least a dozen watchtowers."

Hildre's heroic face remained unchanged, his resolve firm as he decisively said, "Save your energy and prepare for action."

After saying that, she took a last deep look at the huge monster camp. With so many monsters all over the mountains, the number might be even greater than the lord expected!
After all, this is the most powerful force in the entire western province of Blood Pine Forest, and it should correspond to the army of human earls or even dukes.

Battle flags and totems were erected in the monster camp, demonstrating the scale of the tribe, while the wyvern breeding grounds deep within showed the elite combat power of this army.

The pressure on the Hessen Lords to fight against such a powerful army of monsters is probably greater than anyone expected.

If Hesse was a duchy and the lord had 10,000 heavily armored cavalry under his command, then of course they could be crushed directly.

But the Hessen Territory is just a pioneering territory. To defeat this monster army, Hildreth can only fight hard on his own! Bring back more and more powerful items to the territory.

The dwarf ranger Dogrin took the lead. Although he looked clumsy, he showed incredible flexibility. As a ranger, he was very good at climbing among the mountains.

Coming to this high ground was like returning to his home turf. Riding on his battle ram, he could easily climb over those seemingly impassable cliffs.

It is amazing to see how calmly the goats walk on the steep cliffs, making it look like they are walking on flat ground.

Then this short, strong and very powerful man used a rope to pull up his teammates one by one.

So the monster camp that looks extremely terrifying is actually moving faster than the outside. The fighting rams' talent for walking on steep ridges and cliffs covered with rugged rocks greatly speeds up the process.

This greatly changed the halfling Ashfield's attitude towards dwarves. He said, "My friend, you are completely different from the impression we halflings have of dwarves. You may be an outlier among dwarves. I think we can get along very happily."

Dogrin's eyes widened as he glared at him, growling in a low voice, "Don't you know that saying the word alien to a dwarf ranger is an offense?"

But what he thought was a low roar sounded like a loud roar to others.

As the peacemaker in the group, Fandral had to wave his hands and say, "Stop arguing, stop arguing. We're almost at the dragon's lair, and we can't let it go to waste."

But Dogrin refused to give up easily. He grabbed Ashfield with his iron-like grip and asked, "Tell me, what impression do you despicable halflings have of us powerful dwarves?"

As a halfling, Ashfield was already grimacing, and being held by Dogrin like this made him grimace even more in pain.

He said angrily, "My Aunt Bessie may be the most stingy person I have ever met, but compared to the dwarves, she is a kind person. When these dwarves see gold, their eyes become bigger than the moon, and they can't stand being talked about. Otherwise, they will yell at you as if you have taken their last piece of honey cake, and then they will take out a tattered little notebook and write down their family trivia or some other nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Hildur couldn't help but smile. It can be said that this inherent impression is in line with the image of the dwarves!

Due to their common greed and desire for gold, dwarves and dragons have very sharp conflicts, which lead to fierce wars and confrontations between them.

The dwarves regard slaying dragons as a great and glorious cause. They invented professional dragon-slaying runes and entered the dragon's territory to kill the dragon and take away its wealth.

Dogrin's eyes widened instantly, and he cursed, "Is this how you view your distant cousins? If I were the High King, I'd immediately pull out the Book of Hatred and record the Halfling."

While the two of them were arguing, the team had already approached the roots of the Green Crown tree.

As many as six or seven squadrons of gnoll warriors were guarding around the ancient tree. They were armed with spears and bows and were scattered at various critical checkpoints and locations.

And in the air there are two-legged flying dragons circling and patrolling. It can be said that even a fly cannot fly into the dragon's nest.

Fortunately, due to the effectiveness of Hildur's tactics, the monsters here still thought that the invaders were hundreds of miles away and did not realize that the adventurer team had arrived, so they were not very vigilant.

Hildre and the others carefully climbed over the checkpoint beside the gnolls. They were so close to the monsters that they could even smell the urine and fishy odor on them.

But fortunately, they had no danger along the way. Under the cover of Fandral's vines, they successfully climbed to the dragon's nest above the tree canopy in three hours.

It was already dawn, and the morning light illuminated the distant sky.

In the early morning light, everyone in the adventure team could see clearly the magnificent dragon's nest built in the middle of the dense tree canopy.

Although dragons are rough, they also have their own unique aesthetics. Even if they are of different races, everyone can see the artistic beauty that is unique to dragons.

This huge dragon's nest is not made of rotten soil and broken branches. When Hildreth and others reached the treetops, they looked forward and saw lush and verdant branches and leaves in front of them. When the mountain breeze blew, it was simply a green ocean.

In the middle of this green ocean is a towering emerald green ring. It is isolated from the world and magnificent. It seems to be between the clouds and the ocean. It is simply a wonder floating in the clouds.

Douglin stared at the scene with his mouth wide open in shock. After a long pause, he exclaimed, "I used to think dragons were savage creatures hiding in caves. This gigantic emerald ring piercing the sky has completely shattered all my preconceived notions of dragons."

Fandral, a learned man, gazed at this magnificent spectacle and said, "It's not surprising. With so many dragons, there must be a few with artistic talent. Ancient dragons also left behind a wealth of precious relics. Some dragons dwell on stone pillars that soar into the sky, some live in bronze palaces, and some live in black dragon pools. They have exquisite murals and craftsmanship. However, all their art is characterized by its extreme scale, showcasing their power and majesty through massive structures." Hildre took a deep breath and said, "Don't look around. Hurry and get in. We'll try to finish the search in a few hours and leave quickly when the midday sun is at its strongest, while the monsters can barely open their eyes."

"May the blazing sun protect us and everything goes well!"

Following Hildur's order, Ashfield took off the ring that made it always hungry, and everyone quickly headed towards the dragon's nest.

This is the core location of the dragon's nest. The noble green dragon will not even allow the wyvern to approach, let alone the gnolls. They will never set foot in this noble green ocean.

So the most important thing for the adventurer team right now was speed! They strode quickly across this vast green ocean and successfully arrived at the dragon's nest.

But their good luck along the way finally ended after they arrived inside the dragon's nest.

In the corridor leading to the Emerald Ring, a huge elemental bear blocked the only entrance.

This giant green elemental bear was dozens of meters tall and sat in the corridor, blocking all the space almost perfectly.

Its green skin is shining with emerald green arcane battle patterns, showing its unparalleled strength.

This is no ordinary war bear, but a sacred beast of the forest that can harness arcane energy.

Each elemental giant bear has a lifespan of thousands of years, and its strength will not be lower than the God-chosen level after reaching adulthood.

Seeing this, Dogrin was so angry that he broke down and asked, "Is this green dragon a socialite? Where did it get so many God-chosen creatures in its army?"

Its resounding voice echoed through the corridor, immediately attracting the attention of the giant elemental bear. With a roar, it slumped from its sitting position into a fighting stance.

Fandral sighed bitterly, "Oh, oh, this is terrible! Well, you are still young, so let me, an old man, lead it away. You have to hurry and don't let it wake the green dragon."

Everyone didn't have time to think about it. What was going on with this green dragon? How could it have so many God-chosen subordinates? Was it a little green dragon princess? Or was it the green tea of ​​green dragons?
Everyone ran back immediately. Fandral rode the giant herder and ran out wildly, while constantly summoning vines to attack the elemental giant bear to attract its attention.

When they reached a corner, Ashfield decisively pulled Hilde and Dogrin into stealth mode and hid in a gap in the treetops.

Fortunately, the elemental giant bear was successfully enraged by Fandral and did not notice the invaders hiding in the narrow gap, and continued to chase Fandral.

After the giant elemental bear roared away, the dwarf Dogrin immediately supported himself on the branch with both hands and struggled to pull himself out of the gap: "Come and help me, I'm stuck on this branch. It's too narrow here, and my belly can't get out."

Hirud drew his sword, and with a flash of blazing light, he severed all the branches in front of the dwarf. The dwarf was so frightened that he quickly covered his beard. "Hirud, be careful! Don't damage my precious beard! We dwarf men value our beards more than others can imagine. We never cut them ourselves, but only comb and braid them. Only great shame and sorrow would cause a dwarf to damage his beard; it means that the dwarf has lost his honor and dignity!"

But it was obvious that Hildurd's swordsmanship was excellent. He cut off every branch without hurting the dwarf's beard.

She quickly sheathed her rune sword and pulled Dogrim out of the branches. Without even having time to grieve for Fandral, she said sternly, "Stop talking nonsense. We need to hurry and collect the treasure. Fandral won't hold out for much longer. We must take the treasure before the giant elemental bear returns and blocks the exit."

　I have some good news today~

　　When this book was first released, I was very impressed. It was ranked 98th on the fantasy bestseller list. With everyone's support, it first rose to the 70s, the 60s, and now it has basically stabilized at around 40.

　　And it can be expected that the ranking will continue to move forward.

　　So every time I finish a story, I worry about whether the plot is exciting and dense, whether it has lived up to everyone's support, whether the plot is interesting, and whether it has taken everyone into a bizarre world.

　　I also want to work hard to improve my writing skills, but my ability is really limited. It is also very difficult to achieve enlightenment in Longchang and immediately break through and ascend.

　　After much thought, I don't have anything to give back to everyone, so I'll just give you 10,000 yuan a day and try to make everyone happy.

　　Starting from next Monday, that is, tomorrow, I will strive to make 10,000 yuan every day and challenge myself for a week.

　　If I did it, I would give myself a thumbs up, awesome.

　　If I don’t do it, please don’t blame me. I will make up for it when I’m in better shape.

　　However, I feel that based on the number of manuscripts in stock, I will most likely be able to complete 10,000 yuan a day in a week!

　　Finally, please continue to support us, read more, and try not to skip subscriptions~
　　Thanks by the author
