Chapter 0726 Dragon Slaying Expedition
Sure enough, from Gazlowe, Grimm got the information about the 2nd level fire dragon he wanted.
Bamler Boratek, a 2nd level fire dragon, the dragon lord of the Lance plane, is located in the Burning Plains' Scorching Canyon, 30,000 kilometers away from the Stoneclaw Mountains where the Metal Fortress is located.
To be honest, if it weren't for the kind invitation of the female fire dragon Philippa, I'm afraid that in another three to five years, Grimm's power would not be able to extend to such a distant place, let alone meet this 2nd level male fire dragon in advance.
Since there is a clear goal, Grimm no longer hesitates and begins to assign Gazlowe to collect specific information about Bamler Boratek's 2nd level fire dragon as soon as possible.
At the same time, Grimm also began to make appropriate preparations for this dragon-slaying expedition.
For fire dragons like this, the places where they live and work are mostly in some areas with extremely harsh terrain and environment, such as the volcanic world, such as the underground lava sea... No matter which one, I'm afraid it's not easy for ordinary people to set foot in.
Fighting in such an environment, Grimm's combat power will not be affected, but will be greatly improved. However, other wizards in the family will hardly enjoy such treatment, and will be greatly restricted by the environment there.
In order not to affect the combat power of the family wizards, fire resistance equipment, anti-magic potions, appropriate life potions and healing magic wands must be prepared in advance. Of course, if the map of the lair of the level 2 fire dragon can be obtained in advance, the battle will be more certain.
And this task, Grimm handed over to the old fox Wenlier and two blood knights.
Starting from the metal fortress, they sneaked all the way to the land of the level 2 fire dragon, and then tried to capture the opponent's dragon guards and tortured them out of the map of the lair of the fire dragon's underground palace.
The task of collecting fire resistance equipment was given to the goblin Kirby.
As the future financial director of the Crimson Family, such a small matter is also his job!
As for the relevant witchcraft potions, they were all handed over to Gargamel. His job is a pharmacist. As long as the supply of materials is sufficient, it is not a problem to meet the needs of the Crimson Family.
The newly added 2nd-level blood elves in the family have just jumped from the natural system to the blood system, and they are still in the process of exploring their own strength. Therefore, they will no longer participate in this dragon-slaying expedition, otherwise the casualties will be heavy.
In addition to making some internal preparations, Grimm is also trying his best to attract some foreign aid.
Unfortunately, the 3rd-level thunder dragon Arms has no interest in killing his own kind, and rejected Grimm's invitation. However, Grimm privately guessed that the other party was not interested purely because both the Emerald Dragon and the Green Dragon belonged to the natural forest dragon family. They don't like to stay in a place of fire with only red stones and no green.
In this way, even if it helps Grimm conquer the Burning Plains and seize the Scorching Canyon, all the spoils and territories will only belong to the wizard, and it will still get nothing.
Although this guess is a bit vicious, combined with Grimm's understanding of Arms, this is not the correct answer!
After the dragon's assistance was cut off, Grimm could only put his hope for help on the dragon-eating assassin, Oliwen. After promising to kill the fire dragon, the wizards only took away the appropriate dragon skin and dragon crystals. The dragon-eating assassin readily accepted Grimm's invitation and hurried to the metal fortress.
During the time when Grimm and the main force of the crimson wizards left the Lance plane, Oliwen was not idle either. She wandered around the nests of various dragon lords almost every day. As soon as she saw Grimm, she strongly requested to use this information in exchange for the dragon crystal of the second-level fire dragon.
After all, for Oliwen, completely devouring a dragon of the same level will most significantly improve her strength. Without the more critical dragon crystal, the dragon-eating's job evolution will be greatly reduced.
Using a bunch of dispensable and rotten information is like exchanging for a second-level dragon crystal that is about to be obtained. Grimm was almost amused by Oliwen's whimsical ideas.
There was no way. After years of wandering in the wilderness and having little contact with the outside world, even though she was gifted and intelligent, Oliwen could not help showing very low emotional intelligence and social skills.
Facing this dragon eater with the title of "dragon hunter", Grimm once again smiled and opened his chips.
Join the Crimson Family and become a formal wizard of the Crimson Family!
As long as this can be achieved, Grimm is willing to use a 2nd-level fire dragon crystal as the employment fee, and Oliwen can enjoy the same welfare benefits as other family wizards from now on.
For this proposal, Oliwen did not reject it flatly like last time, but thought about it for half a month. The ruin of the family and the extinction of the tribe made her no longer dare to believe in the existence of any alien race.
However, the temptation of a complete 2nd-level fire dragon was too great, so Oliwen spent this half month in torment without sleep.
In the end, Oliwen could not bear the desire and impulse to become stronger, and agreed to the conditions proposed by Grimm.
Therefore, without the outside world knowing anything, the Crimson Family accepted another strange 2nd level dragon eater, Oliwen.
To be honest, Oliwen's 2nd level strength is also very exaggerated!
If facing a giant dragon, then Oliwen can definitely exert a powerful combat power above 2nd level. But if facing not a giant dragon, but a 2nd level wizard, Oliwen is just a 2nd level junior female assassin.
And according to the employment agreement signed by both parties, Oliven refused to leave the Lance plane and was only willing to provide the necessary combat assistance to the Crimson Family here. Grimm did not force this. After all, the Crimson Family has not faced the threat of war in the wizarding world, and most of its energy is currently invested in the Lance plane, so the cooperation goals of both parties are basically the same.
…………
Burning plains, scorching canyons.
This is a land that continues to burn.
On the surface, almost all ignitable materials have been completely burned, leaving only a piece of flaming red stone and three fingers of flaming ash on the ground.
Thick volcanic ash clouds floated in the air less than 200 meters above the ground, making the entire sky gray. The sun hanging high in the sky is like a dark red fireball at this moment, silently burning light and heat, and there is no longer the warm and warm feeling of the past.
Walking on this hot land that may burn at any time, even the air inhaled into the nose and lungs is so hot and unbearable. If it were an ordinary person, he would only need to stay here for half an hour before the terrible heat wave and the ubiquitous heat drained all the moisture and turned him into a scorched, cracked corpse.
The only creatures that can survive on this land are the fire-type monsters and elemental creatures. As for other creatures, they either migrated to distant places or became food for others.
In short, to survive in such a place, it is simply not necessary to survive without outstanding fire resistance!
People who first enter this place often think that the Burning Plain is a forbidden zone for life and that it will be a dead place.
But when they break into it, they will be surprised to find that even in such a harsh environment, countless strange creatures still survive. Among them are a large group of intelligent races, such as Dark Iron Dwarves, Firemaw Dragonmen, Firebelly Ogres, Blackrock Clan Orcs, and an incalculable number of strange magical creatures, such as Lava Behemoths, Molten Beetles, Lava Fire Elementals, and other low-intelligence elemental creatures that only know how to wander around the Burning Plains...
As subordinates of the Level 2 Fire Dragon Bamler, the Firemaw Dragonmen are the well-deserved rulers here. As for the Blackrock Clan Orcs and Dark Iron Dwarves, they have become vassal forces of the Firemaw Dragonmen, helping them rule the entire Burning Plains.
As for the lair of the Level 2 Fire Dragon Bamler, it is hidden deep in the Burning Canyon.
The so-called Burning Canyon is actually a ground fissure canyon opened on the surface in the middle of the Burning Plains.
The earth has a long and narrow crack here. Looking down from the crack, you can see the boiling hot magma a thousand meters below. And Bamler's lair is built on a rock wall on one side less than a hundred meters away from the magma sea at the bottom of the valley.
Under the enslavement of the dragon, the Dark Iron Dwarves lost hundreds of lives before they excavated a terrifying maze with twists and turns inside. The Fire Dragon Lord's bedroom is at the end of the maze.
To be honest, even if the old fox Wenlier sent by Grimm tried his best, he couldn't get the map of the Fire Dragon Maze from the captured dragon guards. According to the captured dragon guards, after the entire Fire Dragon Maze was built, the Level 2 Fire Dragon Lord directly swallowed all the Dark Iron Dwarves and Dragon Guards who were responsible for the construction.
And inside the Fire Dragon Maze, Bamler even arranged terrifying magic traps and guard posts as dense as the sea of stars.
In this way, it is even more impossible for outsiders to covet and spy on its dragon treasure!
But unfortunately, no matter how many magic traps and killing mechanisms Bamler arranged, it would not be possible to extinguish Grimm's determination and perseverance to kill the dragon and take its skin.
However, the only floating giant ship has been destroyed in the Faen plane, and the Crimson Family has lost the ability to remotely deploy the magic machine army. It is almost impossible to lead the mighty magic machine army through the territories of seven or eight dragon lords and reach the Burning Plains tens of thousands of kilometers away.
So Grimm abandoned the idea of a large-scale battle early on, and defined this dragon-slaying expedition as a beheading battle plan for elite wizards!
As for the wizards participating in the battle, they are naturally the current second-level main force of the Crimson Family.
As the leader and commander of this battle, Grimm naturally has to participate. Other participating wizards include Mary, Zacha, Tigule, Oliven, as well as the insect wizard Bilis and two blood knights.
This can also be regarded as the strongest combat power that the Crimson Family can bring out!
