Chapter 406: Conversation with the Dragon on the Top of the Volcano

The unexpected arrival of the Torrent Dragon disrupted the border patrol plan of the Dragon Blood Knights of Earl Merlin, and he had to return to the country to welcome the Torrent Dragon.

"Russell, you escort the Dragon Blood Knights back to the Poplar Gobi to rest for a while, and I will go to the Red Castle to prepare a welcoming ceremony."

"Grandpa, please."

"Although the Snow Giant Da will inevitably lie dormant when the Torrent Dragon arrives, you still can't be careless."

"Yes."

Two days later, the Dragon Blood Knights returned to the Poplar Gobi, and Russell was no longer needed for their escort.

So in the Poplar Castle, Baron Gvedas forcibly retained him and warmly entertained him for one night. The next morning, he rode the black oil dragon Rose to the Red Castle.

Now that he has a noble status, he can enter the outer castle of the Red Castle without any obstacles and land directly in the independent small castle of Earl Merlin.

Only then did he realize that Marquis Arnold was there.

"Sir Russell." Marquis Arnold has become more and more enthusiastic about Russell since he saw Russell's secret weapon, the Thunder Sword.

"Sir Arnold." Russell responded with a smile.

"Russell, you are back. Have the Dragonblood Knights been settled?" Earl Merlin gestured for Russell to sit down.

"It has been settled."

"Yes." Earl Merlin nodded, and then said, "Sir Arnold came to visit today as the envoy of the Torrent Dragon to have necessary communication with me and discuss the joint defense of the two countries against the Snow Giant Da."

"Yes." Marquis Arnold said, "The various actions of the Snow Giant Da have attracted the attention of His Majesty the King, so the Torrent Dragon was specially sent to help the Shadow Flame Dragon and help the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy resist the Snow Giant Da."

Russell narrowed his eyes and understood that the Blazing Torrent Kingdom might have to change its policy towards the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy.

The kingdom's previous means were nothing more than indulging the Snow Giant Da and forcing the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy to bow down until the annexation was completed.

But now, it seems that the coercion of the Shadow Flame Grand Duchy has been suspended, and it has changed to mainly help.

"One of the reasons must be because of the snow giant Da." Russell thought secretly. According to the battles between humans and snow demons over the years, snow ghosts have no intelligence at all, snow demons also have low intelligence, and even snow giants have limited intelligence.

However, the means used by the snow giant Da in the Second Fall and the various sneak attacks after the arm was broken obviously greatly enhanced his intelligence.

A stupid snow giant, no matter how powerful it is, does not need to be too afraid.

But a smart snow giant is a big threat, after all, the snow giant has endless snowfields as a backing.

If it is a war of attrition, humans are no match for the snow giants.

Kill a flying dragon knight today, kill a two-legged flying dragon tomorrow, and within three to five years, the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame will collapse.

"Merlin is grateful for your country's help, but the specific assistance strategy needs to be approved by His Highness Shadow Flame." Earl Merlin said.

Marquis Arnold smiled: "Of course, I will discuss with you, Earl Merlin, first, and then His Highness Torrent will have to negotiate with Shadow Flame Dragon in person. Only in this way can we reach the necessary aid plan, and both sides will benefit."

At that moment, Earl Merlin and Marquis Arnold had a detailed discussion.

From how the Torrent Dragon garrisoned the Grand Duchy of Shadow Flame to the tax-free share of corn and wheat, everything was covered.

Russell listened quietly on the side, which was also a kind of learning.

Sooner or later, he would have to govern his own country, and at that time, these mundane affairs would inevitably be involved.

"But... Marquis Arnold seems to be tough again." Russell has been observing Marquis Arnold's demeanor.

Since the use of the Secret Sword of Thunder that time, Marquis Arnold has been low-key for a while, but today when the Torrent Dragon arrived, Marquis Arnold changed his low-key style and returned to the arrogant identity of the kingdom marquis.

"The last method was still too mild." Russell sighed silently, but he didn't think of making trouble again.

The reason is simple.

With the arrival of the Torrent Dragon, Marquis Arnold has indeed become a being that no one can move, otherwise he will have to face the dragon fire spewing of the Torrent Dragon.

Russell even needs to be cautious when facing the disabled snow giant Dawei, let alone facing a powerful dragon - even if this dragon leaves its own volcanic warm land, its power will be compressed by the snowfield, and it is still invincible.

Picking up the teacup, Russell silently drank a sip of tea: "After the Torrent Dragon leaves, I will find Sir Arnold to have a good drink."

More than an hour of verbal battles have passed.

Many details were finally barely agreed upon in the discussion between Earl Merlin and Marquis Arnold, and the atmosphere became lively again.

When the lunch was served, Russell asked curiously, "Lord Arnold, where is the Torrent Dragon? Why didn't I see it near the Shadow Flame Volcano?"

"His Highness Torrent is in the Fire Ant Swamp right now. This is the Shadow Flame Dragon's volcano after all. His Highness Torrent will not disturb it easily." Marquis Arnold said that unless they came to snatch hope, the dragons would not invade each other.

Shadow Flame Volcano is the Shadow Flame Dragon's territory. The Torrent Dragon will naturally retreat and stay in the warm enclave on the edge.

After a pause, Marquis Arnold said, "Of course, after getting the Shadow Flame Dragon's approval, His Highness Torrent will visit the Shadow Flame Volcano again and discuss with the Shadow Flame Dragon in person how to deal with the crisis of the Snow Giant."

This is indeed the case.

After the lunch was over, Earl Merlin reported the results of the negotiation with Marquis Arnold to the Shadow Flame Dragon in the afternoon.

In the evening, with a "hum" that shook the world, the Torrent Dragon, with blue light flashing between the gaps in its scales, flapped its wings that covered the sky and the sun, flew from the northwest and landed directly on the crater of the Shadow Flame Volcano.

"Roar!"

The Shadow Flame Dragon also roared and shook the earth, then slowly flew up from the magma and landed on the other side of the crater.

The two behemoths squatted on both sides of the crater, facing each other from a distance.

At the same time, many flying dragon knights and fantasy beast knights either flew over or ran over to the crater.

Russell participated in it as the Baron of Thunder Flame and the deputy knight of the Dragon Blood Knights.

However, the M-shaped mark on his palm had completely gone silent, and the connection with Xiao Menglong was completely cut off. Obviously, in order to avoid the perception of the Torrent Dragon, Xiao Menglong had fallen into a deep sleep without revealing a trace of breath.

With the protection of the Shadow Flame Dragon, the Torrent Dragon could barely prevent it from sensing its existence.

Without the protection of the Shadow Flame Dragon, Russell would not dare to appear in front of the Torrent Dragon with the mark of the Little Dream Dragon.

Gulp.

Crash.

Two strange magical dragon languages ​​rang out.

One was the magical dragon language of the Shadow Flame Dragon, like bubbling magma; the other was the magical dragon language of the Torrent Dragon, like waves hitting the coast.

The two dragons kept communicating in dragon language across the crater.

Without the communication of the M-shaped mark, Russell could no longer understand the dragon language. Fortunately, Lord Welch, the Minister of the Volcano, occasionally translated the conversation between the two dragons and reported the progress to the senior officials and dragon knights who participated in the negotiations.

"His Highness Hongliu expressed that he hopes to build a torrent scale tower on the seven warm enclaves, so that it can use the torrent scale tower to transmit power."

"His Highness Yingyan opposed it and only wanted to build a torrent scale tower in the fire ant swamp, and the other torrent scale towers were built on the snowfield."

"His Highness Hongliu said that he could take a step back, but in addition to the fire ant swamp, he also wanted to build a torrent scale tower on the new thunder and fire land."

"His Highness Yingyan firmly disagreed."

"His Highness Yingyan gave in and said that the torrent scale tower could not be built on the black fire land, but it could be built on the thunder lake."

"His Highness Hongliu was pleased..."
