Lance Plane, Metal Fortress.
The large amount of dragon treasures brought back from The Storm Fortress had already been sorted out and transported back to the Magus World.
Just this raid alone would bring the Crimson Family a huge fortune of six to seven million gold coins. Apart from that, there was also a large number of mysterious items that were waiting to be appraised amongst the magic crystals, magic cores, magic materials, and strange treasures.
Most of the magic equipment was not suitable for the sturdy bodies of the dragons, but it did not stop the dragons from collecting them like they were art pieces.
With the picky eyes of the grade 4 dragons, these magic equipment were at least grade 2, and there was no lack of powerful grade 3 and grade 4 equipment. One had to know that even though these things were useless to the dragons, they could still be used by Magi with some simple modifications.
With such a large amount of premium and rare items, the quality of the equipment of the Crimson Family Magi would definitely be upgraded!
After a rough inspection of the dragon treasures, Grim was pleasantly surprised to find that the materials needed to forge the other three parts of the Blazing Monarch Set had already been prepared. As for the missing materials, they could be gathered in the Magus World by spending a bit more magic crystals.
Hence, Grim did not hesitate to order the Crimson Family's chief financial officer, Kirby, to gather the materials within a time limit. He also allocated a million magic crystals as the starting capital for the long list of materials.
After this period of time, the goblin nobles in the Goblin Plane finally bowed their heads to the Crimson Family. A few large nobles and tycoons fought to cooperate with the Magi.
Five of the most famous goblin merchant groups had already dispatched a team of 600 people to cross the Plane Gate and arrive at the legendary Sorcerer World. After surviving the difficult backlash, they resolutely headed to the various regions of the Magus World, setting up shops and goblin shops under the name of the Crimson Family.
In the scattered Tower Forest region and the Northern Witches' territory, the Crimson Family could still send a few acolytes to protect them. However, in the territories of the Silver Alliance and the Magus Association, the goblin merchant groups could only rely on elite Magic Warriors to protect them.
Fortunately, the Sorcerer World had its own complete and perfect operating system. It was not like those lower planes that would plunder and kill outsiders like them according to their whims.
Moreover, the Crimson Family had already established a foothold in the scattered towers and the northern lands. Any Magus or group that infringed on the Crimson Family's interests would not be able to escape retribution. Hence, as long as the Gnome Merchant Team didn't venture too deep into the chaotic regions, their safety was still guaranteed.
This kind of expansion undoubtedly allowed the Crimson Family's influence to spread throughout the Magus World. Something like this would have taken the Crimson Family hundreds of years and the lives of many Magi and acolytes.
But now, with the help of countless Gnome caravans, there were shocking results in just half a year.
However, there were countless rumors of attacks from various places, and there were even more common extortion and blackmail. There were even two Gnome Merchant Teams that were completely annihilated, with not a single survivor escaping.
As subordinates of the Crimson Family, they naturally could not die in vain.
With Grimm's approval, the two Blood Knights, Soros and Winsol, went to the areas where the incidents happened and started a series of in-depth investigations. From their earlier reports, it could be seen that they had a general idea of the situation, and it was estimated that they would be able to find the real culprits in a short period of time.
When that time came, the Crimson Family could use this as an excuse to start a bloody vengeance!
Grimm took care of all these miscellaneous matters as quickly as possible, and only then did he focus all his attention on the earth-shattering upheaval in Lance.
On the 78th day after the attack on The Eye Fortress, which was also the 13th day after Armes led the dragons to seek refuge, a large group of giant dragons finally arrived at the Stoneclaw Mountains.
In an instant, the Stoneclaw Mountains that stretched for thousands of miles were filled with giant dragons with strong bodies. They either spread their wings and flew high into the sky, or skimmed through the trees, leaving behind legendary figures in the blue sky.
At the highest peak of the Stoneclaw Mountains, nearly a hundred giant dragons of various ranks were circling the peak and roaring. At the top of the peak, a dozen giant dragons each occupied a spot, vaguely guarding two strange dragons that were especially large and had scales of a completely different color.
The giant dragon on the left had golden scales that shone brightly under the bright sunlight. Its body was powerful and sturdy, and its long and narrow head was covered in long whiskers. When it straightened its upper body, its entire body was as cold and hard as a statue made of pure gold, filled with the majestic and sacred magical aura of the dragon race.
Gold Dragon!
This was a terrifying Golden Dragon that was as high as Grade Four!
On the right side of the peak was a rare Gemstone Dragon.
The Gemstone Dragon was a strange branch of the many dragon races. Each of them had a powerful psionic ability. According to the magic pedigree, they could be roughly divided into Amethyst Dragons, Crystal Dragons, Emerald Dragons, Yellow Dragons and Sapphire Dragons.
The giant dragon in front of them had light purple scales that looked like a naturally grown amethyst. The color was gorgeous, and it was impressively a grade 4 Amethyst Dragon.
One of the most important reasons why Amethyst Dragons were classified as Gemstone Dragons was that they could embed natural magical gems on their bodies. In this way, when fighting against enemies, they could freely activate the magical gems embedded on their bodies to bombard their enemies.
Coupled with the Amethyst Dragon's strange scales and special stealth ability, it made it even more dangerous!
Such a rare species of giant dragon was rarely seen, even in the Dragon Plane.
But today, they had all left their comfortable nests and gathered here, silently making all sorts of preparations for the dragon's vengeance.
Currently, there were two Tier 4 Dragons and 16 Tier 3 Dragons on this narrow peak. As for the ordinary grade 2 dragons, they did not have the qualifications to stand here at all. They could only circle around the peak and wait for the orders of the high-tier dragon lords.
The two grade 4 dragons crouched high, silently listening to the grade 3 broodmother, Phileba, explain the details of the invaders in the Stoneclaw Mountains. From when they appeared and established themselves here, to how they harassed the surrounding dragon lords, to how the fire dragons surrounded the metal fortress and how they were ambushed by the grade 3 Thunder Dragon, Armes...
One incident after another, Phileba spoke until her saliva flew everywhere. It took her half a day to complete the entire story.
When Phileba closed her mouth, the grade 4 gold dragon's amber eyes shone with a golden radiance. It roared loudly, "The truth is clear now! This is a group of invaders from the Magus World. They broke into the Lance Plane and killed many dragons. I am very sure that they are the culprits who invaded the Blue Sky Wing's nest... Toriel, it's time for us to take action! "
The grade 4 Amethyst Dragon, Toriel, who was named, narrowed her eyes slightly, and a fierce smile appeared on her thin and narrow face.
"We are gathered here today to avenge the death of the Blue Sky Wing, Skrill, who was mysteriously murdered. From the evidence we have now, it is certain that Skrill's disappearance is related to these invading Magi. So, there is no need to wait any longer. Today, we will destroy the enemy's nest and kill all the Magi who invaded our homeland... Move out! "
"Move out!"
Following the command of the two grade 4 Dragon Lords, the hundreds of dragons gathered near the peak stretched out their necks and roared in unison. The deafening roars of the dragons instantly reverberated through the undulating mountains of the Stoneclaw Mountains.
Taking advantage of the agitation of the dragons, the dragons soared into the sky, spreading their wings and flying towards the enemy's nest at the edge of the Stoneclaw Mountains.
The dragons were attacking!
The fruits of their previous harvest were sweet, but the suffering they had to endure now was even more bitter.
The metal fortress, which had been emptied of most of the magic equipment and metal reserves, was still standing in the distance. Apart from tens of thousands of magic equipment, there were no other combatants in the empty fortress.
The metal fortress was bound to fall sooner or later.
At this time, there was no point in transferring the Scarlet Magi over to die with it.
So, even after Grimm and Gaz'ruvi moved most of the resources and metal reserves, they did not take the last batch of defending troops with them. If the dragons thought that the metal fortress was so easy to conquer, they might as well give it a try.
Although failure was inevitable, and although the fall was only a matter of time, Gaz'ruvi was confident that he could use the indestructible shell of the metal fortress and the tens of thousands of magic equipment to teach the invading dragons a painful and profound lesson!
This was also the main reason why Grimm stayed behind to defend the metal fortress with Gaz'ruvi.
...
After 17 long hours of waiting, the dragons had finally arrived!
Following a long and sonorous roar of the dragons, majestic and strong dragons pierced through the sky, burrowing out of the clouds and diving down towards the giant peak where the metal fortress was located.
There was no shouting or verbal battle. As soon as the two sides met, it became a life-and-death situation.
As a camouflage, the metal fortress had always been hidden within the giant peak.
The belly of the mountain had been completely hollowed out, and only a thin part of the mountain barely maintained the appearance of a mountain.
