"Hiss — Terrifying!"
Illyrio exclaimed from the red wooden palanquin carried by the four of them.
The Upper Lorne River, sixty kilometers north of Gadolin.
Dozens of acres of low-lying woodland had been turned into a swamp. Large tracts of birch trees had been burned, leaving only charred tree stumps.
Near the river bank, there was even a glassy land with a radius of a few dozen meters.
A few hundred meters around, trees as thick as bowls had fallen outwards.
The spice merchant's expression was solemn. He could imagine how high the temperature had been at that time, and how intense the explosion had been due to the high temperature.
"Was the Megalosaurus that terrifying?" He couldn't help but ask the mage beside him.
Mm, the Dragon Queen had caused too much of a ruckus here, attracting the attention of countless nobles, mercenaries, and Extraordinaries in the Western Continent.
That day, when the Dragon Queen had first appeared on the west bank of the Little Lorne River, a messenger crow had informed Governor Pentos, who was five hundred kilometers away.
However, Illyrio was too fat and couldn't gallop on horseback. By the time his carriage reached the vicinity of the Dragon Queen's furnace, it was already three days later.
Then, without stopping, he took a boat north to find the birch forest where the Dragon Queen and the Crab King had fought.
In order to better understand the truth of the matter, he had even hired a slightly famous fire mage.
At this point, the Dragon Queen had already left for two days. Hundreds and thousands of people had arrived.
Even now, other than Illyrio's group, there were many mercenaries and spies from nearby cities who had come to investigate the remains of the battlefield.
Just a while ago, Illyrio had met with a merchant from Braavos.
"In theory, the Megalosaurus' dragon flames shouldn't have such an effect. It's said that the Dragon Queen threw down a bright red fireball the size of a house. Perhaps the dragon flames complemented her fire magic. "The fire mage guessed.
"Fire magic … The legacy of the Great Magus Valleglia?!" Illyrio muttered in shock.
"Perhaps. In the past few months, there have been rumors in the Extraordinaries that the Dragon Queen had regained the glory of the ancient Great Magus Valleglia, becoming the strongest of the younger generation in the West.
Now that I look at it, you really do live up to your reputation. You truly deserve to be called the number one mage of the younger generation in the West! "The old mage said admiringly.
Uh, the Heavenly Dao is good at reincarnation and never lets anyone go.
As the Dragon Queen's reputation grew, and as Mataris continued to leak information about her mastery of the Grand Adept's meditation technique to the higher-ups of the alliance, and as more and more stories of her spellcasting spread, the supernatural world went from being suspicious to being shocked, then slowly accepting it. Finally, they recognized her as the number one of the younger generation.
"The legacy of the Great Wizard …" A strange look flashed across the fat merchant's eyes. He wondered if the Dragon Queen had taught Aegon the world's most powerful Fire Wizard Meditation Technique.
He should remind Aegon that only with the combination of the dragon and the great wizard's inheritance could he exert the power to rule the world.
"Why is she only the number one of the younger generation?"
Illyrio pointed at the messy forest that seemed to have been attacked by a flaming tornado and asked in confusion, "Who else can surpass her?"
"If it was before, I would say yes. In the Western Continent of Ursus, almost every city has its own god. They are all demigods and supernatural mages. But now … "
A look of confusion and shock appeared on the fire mage's face. He shook his head and sighed, "Some mercenaries saw the Megalosaurus burning crabs bigger than riverboats and loaches thicker than the pillars in front of the Red Temple …"
"Judging from the flooding around, the one who fought with the Dragon Queen that night must have been one or two water-type demigods.
It could very well be the legendary Crab King!
The Crab King is as famous as the Old Man in the River. He was once the master of the Rohn River.
The huge waves and the flood that washed ashore were probably his water magic.
In theory, water magic should have an advantage over fire magic. Besides, this place is near the river and has plenty of water.
However, we are all sure that the Dragon Queen won, and it was a clean victory.
What does this mean?
Perhaps, we can remove the younger generation. The Dragon Queen is the 'Queen of Fire' among us supernatural beings! "
"The Queen of Fire!"
Illyrio sighed.
The timid girl who lived under his roof and did not even dare to speak much had grown to the level where she was like a demon.
It had only been four years!
"Why did she fight the Crab King?" Governor Pentos asked.
"Perhaps, for the Tile Steel! Many people speculate that the Dragon Queen moved the Tile Steel again and perhaps threw it in this river. "
It had to be said that there was no lack of smart people in this world. As long as there was enough information, they could really reconstruct the truth.
"Tile Steel …" The merchant's fat face trembled a few times. He sighed, "18 tons of Tile Steel. The few Tile Steel swords that my family kept to preserve their value have depreciated!"
The news of the Dragon Queen killing the Crab King at the Rohn River spread throughout the cities of the Western Continent. Singers and poets were once again busy, writing a new legend of the Dragon Queen.
In a few days, the story of 'The Dragon Queen Slaying the Crab King' was being sung in every corner of the city.
However, the Dragon Queen was very depressed these days.
Since they set off in the morning, they only reached Astapor the next night because they were carrying a 500kg iron ingot.
Then, she changed her clothes and began preparing for battle. Riding the Black Dragon, she brought Little Green, Little White and the seventeen Pterosaurs to the three cities of Slaver's Bay.
She was waiting for the allied Pterosaur Knights.
Waiting for the enemy to take advantage of the 'void'.
In the end, she waited for two days and did not even see a single dragon scale.
This time, she suddenly understood. The enemy might have enough Pterosaur Knights, but they might not have enough dragons. Just like how she had more than twenty Knights with the Holy Knight Seal, but only seventeen Pterosaurs.
She should have taken the initiative to attack Mataris when the enemy had completely lost control of the air.
Just as she was thinking if she could make up for it, Mataris' Raven spies sent news. A group of Pterosaurs had landed at the camp outside the city today. There were more than fifty of them, including Shadow Pterosaurs and Swamp Pterosaurs.
However, their size was generally smaller than the previous two groups.
Danny was stunned for a moment and began to regret. When she was stealing chickens to smelt the Sphinx statue, Mataris was also stealing chickens and took the opportunity to subdue another group of Pterosaurs from the Sosroth Rainforest!
The fourth day after Danny brought back 1500 kg of Tile Steel, the top garden of the Great Pyramid of Astapor.
Night.
The Dragon Queen was having dinner with her vassal.
"Didn't you destroy the Dragon's Horn? How can they still capture Pterosaurs? "Chola was puzzled.
The little devil shook her head and put down the wine glass. "Among us Holy Knights, which one of us controls Pterosaurs with the Dragon's Horn?"
"Benny is dead. This time, the one who subdued the Pterosaurs may be High Priestess Jenny. With her ability, she doesn't need the Dragon's Horn at all. The Dragon's Horn was modified by her own witchcraft to control the Megalosaurus."
After Danny explained, she began to regret. "If I knew that she would come personally, I would have set up an ambush halfway."
She really regretted it.
The Tile Steel statue had been in Gedohe for thousands of years. A few days later was not a big deal.
If she could kill Jenny, not to mention whether she could have a full meal and then become a God, at least the alliance would lose the source of Pterosaurs. At least until Sheep Egg found a new body.
Today was different from the past. There were not many pure-blooded members of the three great families like Jenny and Benny (the three great families of Belleris, Varghas, Miracis, and Sheep Egg).
"There are only so many Pterosaurs in the Sosroth Rainforest? Isn't it too convenient to just take them after using them? "Old Yimont frowned.
Danny turned her eyes to the little devil and said, "General Wildfire, if you had listened to me and went to the old dragon earlier, maybe the situation would have been completely reversed."
"I heard that the new Pterosaurs that Mataris tamed are much smaller. The Pterosaurs are not endless." Tyrion hesitated.
"So, you should have gone earlier." Danny said lightly.
— So, it's too late for you to force me to go now.
Tyrion thought.
"I'll go. I'll go to the rainforest tomorrow." Old Guy volunteered.
Well, after he came back, he contracted a Shadow Dragon.
Unlike General Wildfire who was cunning and had a strong desire to survive, Old Guy was like Old Bart. They were both true knights and regarded dying for their king as the highest honor of a knight.
He was a man of his word. The next morning, after receiving the "Iron Gut" Tile Steel sword from the queen and Mormont's iron armor, he carried a big bag of dry food, some dragon essence, ten leather bags of wine, masks, mosquito nets, and other things and set off.
Well, since he had 18 tons of Tile Steel, Da Xiong was no longer obsessed with the Tile Steel armor.
As for the food and wine …
Danny certainly did not want Old Guy to die in glory.
Considering that even viruses were magical beasts in this damned world and might not be able to be disinfected by boiling, it was best not to drink the water or eat the food in Sosroth Rainforest.
Old Guy left in the morning. Dragon Queen's old friend Zal came to Astapor Pier.
"It's indeed more prosperous than the time of the Good Lord. It's also cleaner. Even the confusing red brick debris is gone."
Zal's mood was very complicated.
Excluding the hostile relationship caused by interests, he still admired the achievements of Danny's old friend.
It was easy to occupy a city. Many Centaur Khalasar could do it, but it was very difficult to govern a country with hundreds of thousands of people and even make it better in a short period of time.
Accompanied by General Wildfire, Zal took a carriage and went to the manor outside the city to see a group of prisoners before returning to the Great Pyramid to see Her Majesty the Queen.
"General Wildfire is in charge of the Mage Corps and the Winged Dragon Legion. Now he has become the Minister of Foreign Affairs and even has the only yellow jacket in Slave Bay. He is really the Queen's right-hand man."
Zal looked at the dwarf who was wearing the same clothes as him and said with a complicated expression.
The dwarf noticed the gaze of Ambassador Queers and looked down at the golden silk jacket. He smiled and said, "Your Excellency Zal is overpraising me. Her Majesty is just flattering me.
In fact, I like wine and beautiful women. I don't care about the alliance. "
What the dwarf said was 100% true. He was willing to serve the Queen, but he had no interest in the cause of freeing the slaves.
Zal thought he was being sarcastic. In terms of damage to the alliance, the dwarf was enough to be in the top three, second only to Klein and the Dragon Queen herself.
Especially when he put the wildfire bomb to practical use. Even Mataris could not make the wildfire so stable. It could almost change the future of the war.
However, he was on the alliance's assassination list and did not have many days to live.
Thinking of this, Zal looked at the dwarf with a more intimate gaze. The dead Dragon Queen's important minister was a good minister of the alliance.
"I will see the Queen later. I wonder if you can put in a good word for me to Her Majesty?"
Zal took out an exquisite ebony box from his pocket and quietly stuffed it into the dwarf's hand.
"Uh …" The dwarf was stunned.
Just as the Dragon Queen had guessed, Zal took the back door.
