The task of moving the rank 4 dragon's treasure made Grimm extremely busy.
The Blue Sky Wing Skrill had already been captured alive. In order to avoid any complications, the two Grade 4 Witches did not stay at The Storm Fortress at all. Instead, they brought the dying dragon back to the Sorcerer World through the metal fortress.
However, before they left, the two rank 4 Witches went to the dragon's lair again. In the blink of an eye, half of the treasures in the lair were gone. They only left half of the treasures for Grimm because he had worked so hard. Otherwise, Grimm would not have been able to get anything.
Of course, before the two Witches took action, the zombie dragon, Artest, had already stuffed his stomach full of treasures. With his body size, he could not use any storage items, so he could only use his huge chest as a temporary storage cabinet.
These items were his personal belongings after he went to battle. Even with Cthuna's status as his master, she could not take them away so easily.
Only after these 'masters' had eaten their fill and returned satisfied did the remaining half of the dragon's treasure truly fall into Grimm's hands. Although the dragon's treasure had gone through many layers of exploitation, it was still rich in resources and extensive in content. Grimm's pockets were full and his belly round.
The metal fortress was 20,000 kilometers away from Storm Fort, even in a straight line. It was impossible for Grimm and the others to bring back all the spoils of war without missing a single one. The storage rings and pouches that they had put together were all filled to the brim, but the amount they brought back was not even a tenth of the dragon's treasure.
Left with no choice, Grimm and the others could only abandon the 'worthless' gold coins and the less valuable magic gems. Instead, they focused their search on the strange items.
In the spirit of 'things that I don't understand are good things', Grimm spent two consecutive days in the treasure trove that was like a sea of gold coins. Using the powerful scanning function of the A.I. Chip, he specifically searched for items with strong energy reactions or no energy reactions at all.
With the eyes of a rank 4 dragon, how could a rank 4 dragon allow those 'ordinary weapons' to enter its treasure trove? It was impossible even if he thought about it with his toes. Therefore, in the Wyrm's treasure trove, the more ordinary it looked, the more likely it was to be an unparalleled treasure that transcended the energy system.
After all, the Storm Fortress was not a place to linger for long. A Tier 4 Dragon also had plenty of descendants and subordinates. They were usually stationed in various places and each had their own independent territory. But once he heard that something had happened to Boss Longtou, he would definitely run over to investigate.
Based on what Grim knew, Skryl was one of the seven Tier 4 existences in the entire Lance Plane. It had over a hundred Dragon Lords under its command. If those guys got wind of this and trapped Grimm and the others in the Dragon Lair, they would not have a good ending.
Hence, after looting the Tier 4 Dragon's treasury, Grim and the others quietly left the Storm Fortress with the dozen or so Dragonkin captives in tow. It was unknown if Grimm had done it intentionally or not, but he did not purposely clean up any survivors near the Storm Fortress.
Naturally, the Tier 3 Thunder Dragon would not have thought of this. Instead, it was overjoyed that it had recaptured Aretina and obtained a large number of rare treasures.
It was only after they carefully returned to the metal fortress that they received the news from Gaz 'ruvi.
The entire Lance Plane was in an uproar!
Previously, Grimm had been so unbridled in the Lance Realm, abducting and slaughtering 3 Tier 2 and 4 Tier 1 Dragons in one go. However, the commotion he had caused was minimal.
There were at least two thousand dragons in all of Lance, and no one would care about the loss of such a small number. No high-ranked dragon lord would travel tens of thousands of kilometers to a remote village to investigate and search for the culprit.
However, when a famous Tier 4 Dragon Lord was murdered in its own lair, this horrifying incident immediately caused a tsunami of commotion throughout the entire Lance Plane. For a time, the Dragons were in a frenzy. They flew out of their lairs and searched for the culprit.
According to Gaz 'ruvi's investigation, at least three Tier 4 Dragon Lords in the Lance Plane had issued an investigation order, requesting the Dragon Lords under them to investigate any outsiders in their territories. Once they discovered the culprit, they were to report it immediately.
Such a huge commotion had clearly exceeded Grimm's expectations, and it could easily attract a huge crisis to the metal fortress. After hearing the news, even the thunder dragon Armes was a little restless. He carried Aledina and the big and small bags of treasures he had plundered and hurried back to his territory.
Grimm inwardly sneered when he saw Armes' flustered figure.
If Armes refused to give up on his identity as a Dragon Lord, he would never be on Grimm's side. Using the commotion caused by this incident, Grimm was determined to subdue this unruly Tier 3 Thunder Dragon.
In order to avoid being wiped out in one fell swoop, Grimm had a long discussion with Gaz 'ruvi before he set off. Behind him, the Magic Machine Corps in the underground of the metal fortress had quietly moved to another territory.
If the metal fortress was discovered and surrounded by the Dragons, Grimm, Gaz 'ruvi, and the others could cut off their tails to survive and continue developing their Underground Kingdom in another region. In any case, the ore veins under the Stoneclaw Mountains were almost depleted after years of mining. They needed a large-scale transfer.
Therefore, Grimm was fully prepared for the imminent Dragon's Calamity!
Unfortunately, while Grimm was prepared, the Tier 3 Thunder Dragon Armes was completely unprepared.
To be honest, Armes was the one who started the war. The goal of the war seemed to be to avenge his love. However, Armes, who had been clamoring for vengeance, had never considered the impact that killing a Tier 4 Dragon Lord would have on him and the entire Lance Plane.
Perhaps, deep down in his heart, he believed that this was an impossible task.
Things had happened too fast, so fast that he had no time to think.
In the first half of the war, his mind was filled with humiliation and hatred, and he could not think of anything else. In the second half of the war, he became a bystander, unable to control the course and direction of the war.
When the dust settled, he was overjoyed by the return of his lover and the large amount of treasures.
This series of events completely destroyed Armes' ability to think, and he stepped into the trap that Grimm had meticulously dug for him.
Now that the oil pot was set up, the firewood was lit, and the stove was heated up, all that was left was to wait for the main character to jump into the fire and end his own life!
Grimm was just an outsider after all. He could leave the metal fortress and run away after being beaten up. If he could not stay in Lance any longer, he could still go to the Sorcerer World. Armes, on the other hand, seemed to have no other way out other than Lance.
Therefore, Grimm led his men in the metal fortress and happily cleaned up the dragon's treasures while waiting for things to happen.
Just as Grimm expected, things happened very quickly.
First of all, there were quite a number of survivors from the Storm Fortress who stated the enemy's scale and appearance in unison. Of course, the dragons were unfamiliar with outsiders like Grimm, but the Grade 3 Thunder Dragon was very conspicuous.
As members of the dragon race, all the Colossal Dragon Lords abnormally hated those 'traitors' and 'guides'!
With a Grade 3 Thunder Dragon as an obvious clue, it would be much easier to find out more about the dragon slayer.
There were quite a number of Thunder Dragons in Lance, but only a handful of them could reach Grade 3. Even with their eyes closed, the dragons quickly turned their attention to the Grade 3 Thunder Dragon, Armes.
Secondly, the metal fortress had caused a lot of trouble for the dragons in the area.
This was especially true for the Grade 3 female Fire Dragon, Phileba Ayhart. Not only had Armes shown himself in the battle against Ehart, but he had also openly sided with the invaders. This incident had caused quite a stir in the Stoneclaw Mountains back in the day.
Now, these old grudges had been dug up.
As a result, the Dragon Lords began to look at Armes, the young and promising Tier 3 Dragon Lord, with even more suspicion.
While the dragons were planning to raid Armes's territory and capture him for interrogation, Armes had learned of the enemy's plan through the Thunder Dragon race's secret channels.
Although the Thunder Dragon was a Tier 3 Dragon Lord, Armes had been terrified and restless when it had first received this news. Once it was brought to a high-level Giant Dragon Lord and caught red-handed, it was highly likely that it would face the fate of having its title revoked and being imprisoned until its death.
This … was something it absolutely could not accept!
After a long and painful period of contemplation, the Thunder Dragon Armes could only bring his wealth, the Emerald Dragon beauty Aretina, and five low-tier Green Dragons to seek refuge with Grimm.
Originally, Aretina hated Grimm to the core. She had even planned to leave Armes and explore Lance by herself. Unfortunately, this incident had become an earth-shattering storm. No one, not even a single dragon, could remain unscathed.
The disappearance of Skryl, the Blue Sky Wing, was directly related to Aretina. If she had fallen into the hands of the dragons who had come to investigate or take revenge, her fate would not have been any better than Armes'.
Skryl had over a hundred dragons under his command, and each of them would have been able to tear Aretina to pieces.
