The heavy rain had stopped, and the smoky Gorgon Crater had completely turned into Lake Gorgon. The light of Lubica shone through the canyon between the mountains and shone on the surface of the lake. Although the sparkling surface of the lake was full of floating sand and mud, after a period of precipitation, the lake water summoned by Tang En would once again reveal its clear nature.
By the lake, the Red Lotus Knights in red and black armor were confronting Tang En and the others.
Tang En and Angus, on the other hand, were staring at each other, communicating secretly through wind-type spells.
[Hey, brat! What are you talking about? Why are you pouring dirty water on me?]
[Don't forget that I'm using an alias for this operation. You're famous, and everyone knows you. Of course, you have to be the scapegoat.]
[Damn you!]
"Yes, I'll take responsibility for anything."
Angus said with a serious face. "But I think it's necessary to purify those guys."
Odora's expression was quite serious. He bowed his head deeply and apologized to Angus. "I'm sorry, Master Angus. We were wrong before. I'm very sorry!"
Of course, it was not good to bow to a human, but the human was a powerful one, so the situation was different.
The Orcs of the Ryan Empire worshipped the powerful.
"Get up."
Odora took the initiative to apologize, which could be considered as covering the gap caused by the misunderstanding between the two sides.
"If there's anything, tell him. I'm just here to help."
Angus planned to slip away after taking the blame. If he stayed, Tang En would probably continue to trick him.
"Sir Nobordi, thank you for rescuing Saintess Coco, and also for sending Saintess Vanilla back to the Ryan Empire. Please be sure to come with us to Bul-Kathos. His Holiness the Pope and His Majesty Blood Eye will be happy to pay a generous reward."
The honest Orc knight immediately sent an invitation to Tang En, and Tang En, who originally intended to go to the Ryan Empire, almost laughed out loud when he heard the invitation.
He had only done what he was supposed to do, and in the end, someone came over to give him money. Where else could he find such a good deal?
It just so happened that Angus was the scapegoat. He could use this matter to earn some pocket money!
Tang En said seriously, "Of course, we can't work for free. Miss Vanilla has promised that if we can save Miss Coco, the Pope of the Vulcan Vatican will be willing to pay a high price."
As he spoke, he secretly glared at Vanilla, warning her not to ruin his plans.
Vanilla raised her eyebrows and was about to mock him when Coco pulled her back.
"Sister, this is what Sir Nobodi deserves."
Coco's bright eyes looked at Tang En. In the wee hours of the morning, he was still the Tang En Majesty of the Irus Empire. Now, he was called Nobodi. Even a fool would know that he was trying to hide his identity.
Running to the capital of another empire as the emperor of a country …
What exactly are you planning to do?
"Please come with us."
Audura let out a sigh of relief. The situation in Gorgon Crater was too complicated. If they went back alone, they wouldn't be able to report the situation, so they had to go back with them.
Perhaps only His Holiness the Pope and His Majesty Blood Eye would believe that Master Angus was present.
But when they were about to set off, Audura became worried.
"You didn't ride a horse?"
"No."
Audura was astonished, "Then how did you get here?"
"Don't worry, we have a way to keep up with you."
"Don't joke around."
Audura frowned, "This place is very far from Bul-Kathos. Even a Drake would need to run at full speed for several days. Even if you can rely on spells to increase your speed, how long can you last? Even the two masters would be exhausted! "
Audura clearly misunderstood. He thought that these people were relying on Tang En and Angus' buff spells to achieve fast movement.
"Leader, they haven't ridden a Drake before and don't know how fast it is. Your words aren't in vain."
Lowell pursed his lips and said, "How about we give them some Drakes and let them squeeze?"
"That might be the only way … Find a few big ones … What are you laughing at?"
Hearing Lowell's words, Khal and the others all laughed. Audura was a bit confused.
"You said that Drakes are fast?"
Khal smirked and said with a bit of pride, "That's because you haven't seen anything that's truly fast."
"Haha."
Lowell sneered, his sharp teeth glinting in the sunlight. "You're too ignorant. The Earth Dragon is a specialty of the Ryan Empire, and it has never been exported. I'm afraid that you humans have never seen such an excellent mount. Let me tell you, under the same circumstances, the Earth Dragon's endurance, speed, and explosive power are twice as good as the Ryan high-quality sharp-toothed horse or the Solante high-quality red-maned horse! When two armies charge, if one army's mount is a Drake, the result will be clear even without charging. "
The average speed of Ryan's high quality Sharptooth Horse and Solant's high quality Red Mane Horse was about 30 kilometers per hour, which was at least half as fast as the horses on Earth. Moreover, they had greater endurance and could run 150 kilometers per hour.
However, Drakes were even more ridiculous. They could weigh up to a ton, and their average speed could reach 60 kilometers per hour. Moreover, their explosive speed could break through 100 kilometers per hour. Their endurance was even more terrifying. After eating, they could run for more than five hours at a time. If the road conditions and supplies allowed, they could run 600 kilometers per day while carrying fully armed Red Lotus Knights and supplies. If pushed to the limit, they could even break through 1,000 kilometers.
What did it mean to run 1,000 kilometers per day? It was equivalent to leaving Beijing in the morning and arriving in Wuhan the next day.
This was not a train, but a native creature of Prandal. A creature, would you believe it?
Tang En could not imagine what kind of cell structure this creature had to be able to utilize the energy in its food to such a high degree.
"Oh, hehe … Drakes are indeed very good."
Tang En laughed hypocritically, and then began to mercilessly dig at the wound. "But why don't you tell me how expensive it is to feed them?"
Khal nodded in agreement.
Although Khal had never ridden a Drake before, he had seen it when these people took out meat from their bags to feed them when they were resting. These Drakes were clearly meat eaters, and they were eating raw meat.
Considering how difficult it was to carry supplies while marching into battle, Khal immediately knew how troublesome this thing was.
At least the hay could be dried to increase the carrying capacity, but there was no choice when it came to raw meat. With so many Drakes, they could eat enough to bankrupt a small country. Gathering them for war? Hehe.
Lowell was rendered speechless by Tang En's question.
There was a special reason why the Vulcan Vatican could feed so many Drakes. On one hand, the Red Lotus Knights usually trained separately, so there was not much logistical pressure.
In addition, the individual strength of the Red Lotus Knights was very strong, and their average strength was Gold. Usually, even if they did not carry supplies, they could quickly hunt prey to feed their Drakes when their Drakes were hungry. However, this method could not be promoted to all soldiers.
"You guys are just jealous."
Lowell sneered and rode his Drakes. He bared his teeth at Tang En and turned to leave.
"Uh, Deputy Commander Lowell is a little straightforward, please don't take offense."
Odura smiled and tried to smooth things over. "But seriously, how are you going to keep up with our team?"
"With this."
Tang En waved his hand and released the 'Hummer', a magic-powered off-road vehicle.
The sudden appearance of this strange thing stunned Odura. "What is this?"
"What an ignorant fellow."
Elijah looked at Odura with disdain, her little face full of pride. "Of course it is our transport."
"That's right."
Khal proudly shook the spatial ring that was given to him and took out his Hummer.
The other captains also took out their Hummers, and in the blink of an eye, a row of eye-catching off-road vehicles appeared beside them.
"Spatial equipment!"
Odura exclaimed. "So many!?"
… … Wait, he seemed to be focusing on the wrong thing!
Tang En was a little speechless. Khal clearly wanted to show off the off-road vehicles, but he did not expect Odura's attention to be attracted by the spatial rings on their hands.
Due to the nature of worshipping physical strength, there were relatively few spellcasters in the Rhein Empire. No, because most of those with spellcasting potential were brainwashed by the Shamans, it should be said that they were extremely rare. Therefore, even after so many years of development, the Rhein Empire did not have many spatial equipment handed down.
As the commander of the Red Lotus Knights, Odura was very lucky to obtain a spatial ring handed down by the Vulcan Vatican. However, Deputy Commander Lowell was not so lucky.
Moreover, the spatial ring was only lent to him, and the ownership still belonged to the Vulcan Vatican.
To care so much about a spatial ring, one could see how miserable the Vulcan Vatican was.
Hearing Odura's exclamation, Lowell could not help but look back, and what he saw stunned him.
So many spatial rings!? How was this possible!?
Even if the human countries were relatively wealthy, it was impossible to reach this level!? Not to mention that they were just a group of mercenaries, just a group of mercenaries!
Since when could even mercenaries afford to use spatial rings!?
Envy? No, it was jealousy! It was naked jealousy!
Lowell forced himself to turn his head. If he continued to look, he was afraid that he would not be able to resist snatching it!
Under Tang En's signal, everyone sat in their respective vehicles and fastened their seatbelts. He poked his head out and said to Odura, "Let's go. You guys lead the way. Don't worry about us not being able to keep up. Just run as fast as you can."
Odura sat on the Earth Dragon's back doubtfully. "Really?"
"Really."
Thus, Odura immediately gave the order to return down the mountain.
More than five thousand Red Lotus Knights majestically returned along the mountain path. The rugged mountain path became quite flat under the Earth Dragon's broad and heavy body. This kind of terrain adaptability was one of the characteristics that the Earth Dragon was proud of.
Just as Odura, Lowell, and the Red Lotus Knights were about to laugh at the humans, they heard a burst of crisp and pleasant laughter.
They turned their heads to look and were instantly stunned.
They saw a row of strangely shaped metal boxes rushing down the mountain, completely ignoring the state of the road ahead. Wherever the car in front passed, the mountain path would become abnormally flat!
When he passed by them, Tang En nodded at them in acknowledgment, and then directly rushed over.
"Yo, Commander Odura!"
Khal slowed down and greeted with a smile. "You guys are too slow. We'll go down and wait for you guys first. Don't make us wait too long."
After saying that, Khal stepped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle roared down the rough road that Angus had paved.
The off-road vehicles quickly overtook the entire Red Lotus Knights from behind, leaving behind swirling clouds of dust. It was as if they were mocking them for overestimating themselves.
