A sneeze destroys a magical civilization

In the early morning, when the first ray of sunlight shone on the earth, Wilmes finally crossed the low mountains and hills north of Mailatma and landed on a peak with an altitude of at least one thousand meters.

It is very close to the Surdasken River in the north and the capital of the Kingdom of Tessel, Zazespo, probably less than fifty kilometers away.

Not far away is the transportation artery connecting the east and west of the entire country.

A large number of caravans and vendors pass by almost every day.

I'm afraid no one would have thought that in such a place, a mature male red dragon - Bertogas.

What’s even more interesting is that this evil chromatic dragon has never used the favorable terrain in front of his home to rob passing caravans.

Just the opposite!

Every time he wanted to loot a caravan, he would fly more than 160 kilometers away, close to the entrance of the Northern Xingxuan Mountains.

Therefore, the scholars, nobles and adventurers of Zazesipo all mistakenly believed that Bertorgas' lair should be in the Star Swirl Mountains.

As a result, we sent out several people to investigate, but found nothing in the end.

But Wilmes knew very well that this insidious and cunning guy was deliberately misleading those miserable mortals.

He wanted them to have a head-on conflict with the powerful red dragon Balagas "Flying Flame", and then he could reap the benefits.

Because one of the latter's lairs is located on the top of one of the extinct volcanoes in the Star Swirl Mountains.

You must know that Balagas "Flying Flame" is one of the most famous and active ancient red dragons in the entire Faerûn continent.

Due to its powerful strength and violent and cruel character, it is even affectionately called the "Dragon Scourge" by the elves.

The number of adventure groups, cities, mage towers, and large fleets at sea that he destroyed alone were too many to write on a few pieces of parchment.

In addition, Balagos "Flying Flame" is also the dragon that likes to kill the same kind most in Faerûn.

Yes!

You read that right!

In addition to his love of destroying and killing humans and elves, he also often wanders over the territory he claims as he pleases.

Then a "lucky person" is randomly selected, rushes into the opponent's lair, kills and eats him, and takes away all the treasures.

Of course, it is also possible that the victim was dragged out of the lair and eaten alive under the secret prying eyes of other dragons.

In this way, he declares his absolute power and dominance.

These slain dragons may be good dragons such as silver dragons, gold dragons, bronze dragons, and brass dragons, or they may be evil dragons such as red dragons, black dragons, and green dragons.

In short, Balagas "Flying Flame" never needs any reason when he wants to kill a dragon.

Maybe it was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, or maybe he felt that this dragon was too weak and unworthy of living, let alone having treasure.

no doubt!

This guy is a truly bloodthirsty, cruel and arbitrary tyrant!

Almost all idols worshiped by red dragons!

There is no Red Dragon Society that does not hope to become the "Dragon King" and "Moving Disaster" publicly recognized by all countries and forces like Balagas "Flying Flame".

But at the same time, they also long to kill Balagas "Flying Flame" and replace him.

Bertorgas's behavior pattern is the perfect embodiment of the above two psychology.

On the one hand, he hopes that Balagas' "Flying Flame" can help him destroy Zazesibo;

On the other hand, he hoped that Balagas "Flying Flame" would be seriously injured or simply die when attacking Zaze Sibo.

It would be even more perfect if both sides suffered losses.

Wilmes is very aware of Bertorgas’ dirty thoughts that are unknown to the public, as well as his secret actions over the years.

It was precisely because of this that she broke up with this guy without hesitation.

Don't worry, the other party will anger Balagas "Flying Flame", and then you will be unlucky too.

Just when Wilmes was about to approach the entrance of the hidden cave, a red dragon even bigger than her suddenly emerged from inside, staring with two eyes like lava, and asked with a vigilant look: "It's you ?What do you want to do by approaching my lair?"

"Long time no see, Bertorgas."

Wilmes took the initiative to say hello.

She was very careful to keep a safe distance and tried not to make any moves that might cause misunderstanding or alertness.

For red dragons, since each other is completely immune to fire damage, the most important breath weapon is of little use in civil war.

Once a battle breaks out, it will be extremely brutal and bloody hand-to-hand combat.

At this time, whoever has the larger body, stronger scales, and sharper teeth and claws will win the final victory.

Bertorgas, who has entered his prime, obviously has an advantage over Wilmes, who has just reached adulthood.

"Answer my question! What is the purpose of your sudden approach to my lair?"

Bertorgas raised his head and guarded the entrance to his lair.

He knew the reckless and greedy female in front of him as well as Wilmes knew him.

I always felt that the other party was really spying on the huge wealth I had accumulated through robbery over the years.

The two red dragons faced off like this for more than ten seconds before Wilmes smiled and suggested: "I'm here to invite you to plunder Mailatma's wealth together.

I believe you should be very aware of how wealthy this city on the border of Calimshan and Tethyr is.

I have organized a huge army.

As long as you join forces with me, it will only be a matter of time before we capture it.

At that time, no matter how much money, treasures and wealth I plunder, I will give you one-third. "

"What? So, those monsters that looted villages, towns and caravans near Mylatma recently are all your men?"

Bertorgas' tone revealed extreme surprise.

Because he really didn't expect that Wilmes, who never liked to use his brain, could actually make such a big noise this time.

Wilmes pretended to be smug and nodded: "That's right! That was all my doing!

Now, I have annihilated the regular army sent by Mailatma.

Only some temporarily recruited civilians remained in the entire city.

So, are you interested in my invitation? "

Hearing this, Bertorgas immediately grinned with a ferocious smile: "Of course you are interested! How could you not be interested! But the price you offered is too low, one third is far from enough." My appetite. I think half for one person is fairest."

"Dreaming! Impossible! I organized that monster army! I also surrounded the city! You only provided a little help at the last minute, why should you take half of it?"

Wilmes unceremoniously rejected the opponent's lion's opening.

You don't need to ask to know that the reason why she did this was entirely to make the scene more realistic.

If he agreed simply and neatly, the cunning Bertorgas would definitely suspect whether there was any conspiracy.

After all, no red dragon would give up or give up the wealth that is about to be acquired easily.

As Wilmes expected, Bertorgas soon fell into the misdirection of the bargain, completely unaware that it was an insidious and fatal trap.

Eventually, the two red dragons reached a verbal agreement to share the spoils.

Of the wealth of Mylatma, sixty percent went to Vermes and forty percent to Bertorgas.

But Bertorgas must guarantee that he will personally take action in the next siege battle and cooperate with the monster army to attack the city wall.

Just like that, two red dragons, one male and one female, rose into the air and quickly returned to the monster army camp outside the city.

Only this time, Wilmes was very smart and did not continue to maintain his dragon form, but turned into a human.

In this way, those guys who can't tell the difference in appearance between dragons will mistake Bertorgas for Wilmes, thinking that they are still commanded by the original red dragon.

As for those chiefs who know the truth, they are completely controlled by strange objects with psychic abilities.

Quietly, the "scapegoat" Bertorgas has unknowingly become the leader of this monster army.

At least that's how it looks to most outsiders...
