In the second half of the night, the forest was so quiet that the sounds of the wind, insects, and frogs seemed to have disappeared, except for the smell of blood that wafted through the air, attracting many carnivores to eat the carcasses. They were all very clever and didn't go near the area shrouded in powerful negative energy, otherwise they wouldn't have thought of getting out.

I don't know when, the dark clouds in the sky covered the moon and the stars, and the whole earth was shrouded in darkness, and it seemed so depressing. The screams that had been ringing in the woods for a long time gradually stopped, and it seemed that the hunt had reached its final stage, and there were few dark elves left alive.

As soon as he stepped into the ground eroded by negative energy, Henry immediately noticed a large number of corpses hanging from the branches above his head, no less than thirty in number, all with round eyes, expressions full of fear, and a row of terrible tooth marks on his neck, throat or other parts of his body, but not a drop of blood came out. It was clear that the blood in their bodies had been drained alive, and their dry skin and muscles looked like old men in their last years.

Maybe when an ordinary adventurer sees this scene, he will immediately turn around and run away as fast as he can. On the continent of Faerun, the sudden appearance of such a large number of corpses definitely means that there are very terrifying monsters nearby, and it is very likely that they will die on the spot if they hesitate a little.

No way, in this world full of mysterious powers, all kinds of strange creatures emerge in endlessly, some are ancient species left over from ancient times, some are the creations of powerful mages, and a very small number come from the endless planes of the vast universe, there are more than tens of millions of species recorded alone, and it is said that those that have not yet been discovered are a hundred times or even more than this number.

Henry has been in this world for more than a decade. From a young boy to a legendary spellcaster with great power. A deep understanding of how deep the water is in the main plane. Therefore, he has been tirelessly accumulating strength, for fear that one day those terrible races that have disappeared in the long river of history will suddenly appear, and he has no ability to resist.

He was so jealous of the legend of the race that created the zào that he felt his scalp tingle every time he thought about it. In particular, the creator of the scaly creatures, the Salek Witch, an ancient creature similar to the snake people. They established the first empire of the main plane three to forty thousand years ago, and conquered the entire Faeron continent in just one hundred years or so.

You must know that Faeron at that time was different from now, and the elves had not yet crossed over. Therefore, the continent was the only continent, countless times larger than it is now. The most important thing is that these reptiles have unimaginable intelligence, and they can easily decipher countless obscure knowledge and information just by observing the primordial magical energy.

They recorded these meticulous records on the gold scrolls, and also established the secret organization "Betis". These scrolls were known at the time as the "Golden Skin of the Cosmos Serpent", a god worshipped by the Saruk Witch and residing on the seventy-fourth floor of the Bottomless Abyss, but never to wake up after the collapse of the reptilian civilization that created the Zào. And those precious gold scrolls, which were later excavated from the ruins by the Nesseril people, are now the famous "Nessera Scrolls".

No one would believe that such a horrible race would have no back. Just disappeared into the long river of history for no reason. Henry prefers to believe that they are hiding in a corner somewhere to gather strength. When the time comes, they will relaunch the war that will encompass the entire main plane and reclaim their own supremacy.

A few years later, Neverwinter Night proved it, and while he didn't know if the so-called amphibian reptiles were Zaruk witches, one thing was for sure, and that was that they had absolutely nothing to do with them. Maybe it's just a pawn thrown out to test the situation, or it may be a small group of eager careerists. In short, no matter how careful you are with such a guy, you can't be overly careful.

Henry didn't want to capsize in the gutter one day. To tell the truth, if he really wants to face off against the Saruk Witch, he really can't be sure of victory. After all, most of the modern magic comes from the records of the "Nexera Scroll", and after tens of thousands of years, God knows what new things these terrifying reptiles have developed.

In terms of understanding of primordial magic, even the Grand Arcanists and High Elf mages of the Nessera period could not compete with these reptiles, and perhaps even the goddess of magic and the god of mages would have to bow down.

"The future is really exciting!" Henry shook his head with a soft smile, wondering if he had been nervous lately, and continued to walk along the forest path. Suddenly, a shadow flashed in the depths of the woods, and in the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of him.

It was a young dragon with a body length of more than three to four meters, with emerald green scales on its body, and it looked slightly emaciated, but its two scarlet eyes and a mouth of fangs revealed its killing nature. It arched its head affectionately and let out a cheerful growl, as if the puppy was coquettish when he saw his master.

Henry patted the young dragon's head and looked at it carefully for a few minutes, then couldn't help frowning and muttering, "Strange! Why can't this baby dragon speak? Is there something flawed? ”

"Master, they are all spawned by magic, and some of them have not yet fully integrated the memories inherited in the soul. But don't worry, as long as it takes a few months, you will be able to recover to normal. With that, Shantil stepped out of the woods. She looked very excited, followed by several young dragons of about the same size.

"I see." Henry nodded thoughtfully.

As a wise mage, he knows well what the consequences of using magic to spawn can be. It can be said that it is very lucky that there are no mentally retarded or idiots among the young dragons. This is thanks to the perverted physique of the dragon, otherwise I am afraid that all other intelligent creatures will be defective.

There have been many evil mages who have done similar things, and the main objects are basically creatures with strong reproductive abilities such as orcs, gnolls, goblins, trolls, etc., the purpose is very simple, that is, to get a terrifying number of evil armies in a short time. But it's a pity. They all failed in the end.

The power of magic can make the body grow faster. But there is nothing that can be done about the soul. Most of the individuals that emerge are not mentally retarded. It's like walking meat, except for biological instincts, it doesn't have the ability to think at all, it's better to directly control vampires or beasts, at least the intelligence of these guys can be maintained at the level of ordinary people.

Shantil looked at the somewhat pale sky in the east in the distance, and cautiously reminded: "Master, the sky is about to dawn." These young dragons must hide before the sun comes out, or they will be burned to ashes in a few minutes. ”

"I know. But where to hide is a big question. The basement space of Baldur's Gate Mage Tower is too small for a young dragon to survive. After all, they are somewhat big. And it's going to get bigger and bigger in the future. Now, you take them with you to the Dark Citadel in the Sunset Mountains, take over the defenses there, and transfer all the human soldiers out. Be careful, don't be spotted by the nearby residents, and anyone who dares to approach will be killed, whether they live or die. ”

This was a choice made by Henry after careful consideration. First of all, the castle is so large that it is said that the giants built it back then, so it is very suitable for dragons in terms of space and size.

Secondly. Its location is unusually remote, right next to the Sunset Mountains. Except for the two villages and towns of Kamop and Hruswa in the vicinity, there are basically not many people living here, and the seclusion can also be guaranteed.

Finally, the location of the Dark Ciep is very important, and he can only be reassured by a strong and loyal army stationed here.

Of course, a dozen young vampire dragons are not an army, but their combat effectiveness is undoubted, especially at night when they can't see their fingers, and they are definitely no worse than an army of thousands of humans.

Since Manson relinquished the place, Corey had sent an elite force of three hundred men to take over. But that's a drop in the bucket for the monsters that live near the Sunset Mountains, not to mention the evil forces that are eyeing them. If you want to keep this place from falling, the best way is to send high-end forces, otherwise it won't be long before you fall.

Obviously, three hundred human soldiers were certainly not as powerful as a dozen vampire dragons, or rather, the two were not on the same level at all, so it was quite cost-effective to replace the former with the latter.

Although Shantil is a little evil and crazy, she is not stupid and immediately understands the meaning of the words. She bowed slightly, "Understood, I'll take all the young dragons to the Dark Castle." But what about those human soldiers? Let them return to Soba? ”

After thinking about it for a few minutes, Henry shook his head slightly: "No, let them go to Scanubel, which is very close to the riverbank forest and needs to be strengthened. In addition, I allow you to build a labyrinth under the Dark Castle, and move all the forbidden real yàn to where in the future. ”

"Yes, I'll finish this labyrinth soon." Shantil assured with an excited face. There was no doubt that such a place must have been used for those inhumane living things, and it was an irresistible temptation for her to begin those wonderful studies right now.

"Here, this is an order, just give it to the garrison officer of the Dark Castle." As he spoke, Henry stamped his private seal under the letter he had just written. As the supreme ruler of the kingdom, he naturally has the right to move armies at will. Without this, the defenders of the castle would not have listened to a woman's empty words, and might have fought again.

As soon as she got the letter, Shantil cast a crowd teleportation spell and left with all the young dragons. Not long after they walked on their front feet, the sun slowly rose over the horizon, bringing life to the forest. The birds and beasts that had fled the war had also returned to their homes, not in the least afraid of the corpses scattered everywhere.

Knowing that he was pressed for time, Henry hurriedly cleared the forest that had been eroded by negative energy and hurried back to the ground. He knew that in less than a day, the news of the defeat would reach Uster. Nashar, when the city is bound to be in turmoil, is the best time to rescue Alan.
