Dalka was restless these days.
As the young Ice Dragon Lord Alentini's draconian slave, Dalka's main responsibility was to take care of his territory while his master was asleep. In the past two to three hundred years, Darka had always done well, very well. He had even been praised by the Dragon Lord for his work.
Today, however, this loyal Tier 2 Dragonoid was feeling vexed.
What bothered him was that something big seemed to have happened in the Stoneclaw Mountains thousands of kilometers away. The Wind Dragon Lord, Chax, disappeared inexplicably, and a strange army of magic weapons suddenly occupied its territory.
The reason why they were called an army and not a tribe was because they were not real living beings. They were just a group of puppets under someone's control. However, from the way they fought, it could be seen that there was a powerful commander standing behind them, who could control every single one of them as if they were his own arm.
Dalka had heard a lot of rumors, and the most common one was that this group of metal magical machines was a kind of metal life that could continuously devour the metal veins under the Stoneclaw Mountains to continue growing. Of course, there were also many rumors that described them as invaders from another world, and the metal puppets were just their peripheral forces …
Having heard so many similar rumors, Dalka's limited brain capacity had become a little sluggish. After hesitating countless times, he did not summon the courage to go to Lord Alentini's bedroom to wake him up.
First, everything he had heard was just rumors.
If he rashly woke up the Ice Dragon Lord with these unconfirmed rumors, he would not end up well.
Second, Dalka did not have any actual evidence to prove that the metal monsters would invade the Ice Dragon Territory.
The giant dragons each occupied their own territory and did not care about other people's business in their 'dragon' territory. Even if the Wind Dragon Chax's territory was turned upside down by the metal puppets, Lord Alentini would not frown. Instead, he would smile and wait for the next gathering of the giant dragons to mock Chax.
Therefore, as long as the metal monsters stayed in the Stoneclaw Mountains, they would only harm the Wind Dragon Chax. What did it have to do with him? If that Wind Dragon Chax had the ability, he could call on his friends, or run back to his family and ask the elders to back him up.
If he wasn't capable enough, he deserved to have his territory taken away by a bunch of otherworld dead souls and become the first low-class dragon in Lance to lose his territory and wander around. At that time, it would also become the target of ridicule at the Giant Dragons' gathering.
As for the territory that it had lost, if the Ice Dragon Alentini could defeat the metal monster and take it back, the ownership of the territory would belong to the Ice Dragon.
However, with the dragons' usual lazy and slow pace, they would probably have to wait until Alentini had a sweet sleep and had her fill before she would have the time and mood to deal with these trivial matters that had nothing to do with pain or itch. Before that, anyone who disturbed Ice Dragon's sweet dreams would incur her wrath.
Meanwhile, the rage of a Tier 2 Ice Dragon Lord was extremely frightening.
At the very least, the dozens of lifelike ice sculptures erected in front of Alentini's bedroom were the most direct proof. They weren't the ice sculptures of craftsmen who poured their blood, sweat, and tears into them. Instead, they were living creatures that angered the Ice Dragon and were frozen by her terrifying Ice Dragon Breath.
Of course, there were also Dalka's predecessors, ex-predecessors, and ex-predecessors.
All of them, without exception, foolishly awakened the Ice Dragon Lord at a time when they shouldn't have …
The bedroom of the Tier 2 Ice Dragon Alentini was located on a tall, lonely peak.
Pure white snow piled up to form a huge, sparkling palace. Cold, dry air swirled in the square in front of the palace, letting out sharp and terrifying whistles from time to time.
Pure white clouds floated halfway up the lonely peak, blocking the exuberant curiosity of mortals who wanted to peek into the Ice Dragon's bedroom. There were only a few days in a year when the north wind at high altitudes would tear apart all the floating clouds. Under the bright sunlight, the towering mountain peak and the splendid golden walls of the Ice Dragon's sleeping quarters would briefly appear in front of people, causing them to gasp in admiration and be fascinated by it.
Most of the time, the Ice Dragon's chambers were hidden in dense mist and ice crystals, guarded by more than a hundred ice-type Drakonids day and night in shifts. As for the other Draconians and scouts, they were sent to various parts of the Ice Dragon Territory to collect rations, taxes, or conscription …
Every year, large amounts of resources and materials would gather here, becoming the personal wealth of the Dragon Lord. The Draconians, on the other hand, were the personal servants, warriors, and treasure guards of the Dragon Lord.
The two tall Draconian Warriors standing in front of the door of the Ice Dragon's bedroom held Frost Longswords in their hands and Frost Bows on their backs. Their sturdy bodies stood tall, their four thick dragon legs standing perfectly straight. They stared with their two big and two small dragon eyes, scanning the crisscrossing ice peaks and forests around them. However, they did not dare to look at the leader of the Draconians, the Tier 2 Draconian Warrior Dalka, who had been loitering in front of the door for half a day.
He had been here for a long time, yet he did not dare to take a step into the Ice Palace. His hesitation and anxiety could be seen. However, even though they sympathized with their leader, the two Draconians looked straight ahead, not daring to strike up a conversation with him or console him.
Their duty was to protect the Ice Dragon, not allowing outsiders to disturb his slumber. However, they did not have the obligation to wake him up. On the entire lonely peak, only the leader of the Draconians, Dalka, had the authority to enter the Ice Palace.
This was a form of authority, but also a form of torment!
At least, Dalka was feeling tormented now.
The chilly air current brushed past the crisscrossing ice pillars, letting out a bone-chilling, ear-piercing whistle. But strangely, this air current was mixed with a strange smell, a smell that should not have appeared here.
Dalka, who was walking back and forth in annoyance, suddenly stopped. He raised his nose and sniffed a few times.
Floral scent … A strange floral scent.
Along with the fragrance of the flowers came an inexplicable dizziness and a strange sense of powerlessness.
The floral scent was poisonous!
Dalka lifted his head in shock and realized that the entrance of the bedroom was shrouded by a translucent elemental light membrane. And he … was within it.
Soundproof Barrier …
Dalka was the leader of the Draconians after all. He instantly recognized the essence of this strange elemental light membrane. This was a Soundproof Barrier that could block all sounds. As long as one was shrouded by the light membrane, no matter how loud the commotion inside was, no one outside would be able to hear anything.
Just as Dalka realized that something was wrong, the two Draconians standing guard at the entrance of the Ice Palace began to sway unsteadily. Their powerful Draconians allowed them to withstand the mysterious floral poison. However, it also made their limbs weak and they couldn't unleash their full strength.
At the same time, a red figure descended from the sky at lightning speed. The blood-red longbow in his hand shot out dozens of blood-red arrows, aiming for Dalka's vital points. On the ground, the tall and mighty Draconian Zachary removed his Invisibility Spell. His heavy footsteps rumbled as he charged towards Darka, whose face was filled with shock, like a steel chariot.
Both the sky and the ground attacked at the same time. Moreover, the attackers were all tier-2 experts of the same tier. Dalka, who was still in a state of shock, couldn't even unsheathe the Frost Sword at his waist. He could only engage in close combat with the two attackers with his bare fists.
While the three 'people' were fighting, Poison Centipede Endor, Insect Lich Bliss, Wind Lich Desella, and Medusa formed a strangulation team and engaged the two Draconians at the entrance of the bedroom.
The two Draconians were undoubtedly the elites of the Draconians since they were chosen to guard Lord Ice Dragon's bedroom. Unfortunately, Poison Centipede Endor had poisoned them first, while the other two sorcerers of the same tier attacked them from behind. The Crimson Family's sorcerers had made all sorts of preparations for this ambush. They even brought along Frost Amulets and Resistance Rings.
Under such circumstances, even if the Draconians had powerful strength and combat instincts, they could only die regretfully at the hands of the Crimson Family's sorcerers.
One of the Draconians was pierced by Insect Lich Bliss's Scorpion Legion before being poisoned to death by Poison Centipede Endor. On the other hand, the other Dragonoid Warrior was petrified by Medusa at close range before being sliced into countless pieces by the Wind Wizard Desella.
By the time the battle ended, the outcome of the battle between the tier-2 Draconians had already been decided.
The tier-2 Draconians, Dalka, had died!
Mary was heavily injured, while Zachar suffered light injuries.
However, after Zachar consumed a few healing potions, coupled with the Draconians' strong regenerative abilities, his injuries were no longer a problem. As for the Blood Queen, Mary, who was the main force in the battle, she suffered the heaviest injuries. However, when she laid down on Dalka's mangled body and sucked a few mouthfuls of blood, the horrifying injuries on her body healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, Grimm and Olina appeared together.
One of the reasons they did not take action was because Mary and Zachar were more than enough to deal with this tier-2 Draconians. The other reason was that Grimm's attacks were full of sound and light effects. The Silence Barrier could only block sound, but it could not block vibrations and light.
Therefore, in order not to alarm the Draconians in the camp at the foot of the mountain, Grimm could only act as late as possible.
As for Olina, she was not one of Grimm's direct subordinates. She was just a strategic ally. Hence, the appearance fee for her to act was too high. He could only use her Dragonslayer Sword in the most suitable place.
