Chapter 41 Reactions
"Oh huh."
Luna found Caesar under the woven tree woven by green leaves.
The surroundings were covered with large green fir and old elm trees. The black dragon was half lying, placing its neck flat on the ground, and its sharp claws were scratching on the ground, with incomprehensible handwriting written.
"It grows so fast." Luna couldn't help but think of Caesar's beautiful bright black scales gradually turning into dark gray for disguise.
She felt that he should not interrupt his thinking. Whenever Caesar fell into silence, he would become extremely serious and even a little scary. So the elves of the forest choked back the words that came to his mouth and waited quietly.
The breeze blew the treetops, rustling, and Luna's thoughts became complicated.
It seems that Caesar Altorinso seems to have entered adolescence, which is the beginning of sexual maturity. Will he start looking for a spouse?
Surely it.
She saw Caesar's hideous horns, sharp fangs, and strong body... In the eyes of dragons, this guy must be the best choice for reproduction of offspring together, and there must be many female dragons who like him. Forest fairies suddenly became a little angry for some reason.
At this time, Caesar finally stood up slowly and shook off the soil stained under him.
"Luna."
When Caesar saw her standing there, he spoke, "The Stone Crow clan has gradually gotten on track, and I am thinking about the next arrangement."
He originally had no need to explain to the little guy, but Caesar was willing to say more. Although the Forest Fairy was forcibly captured by him, he has now become one of the few creatures that black dragons can communicate with.
"There's one thing, I think I should tell you."
Luna shook her head and signaled that she didn't care about waiting a little: "There are many new humans around the Shiyao clan."
“It’s normal.”
Caesar stretched out his claws and let the little guy sit in his palms: "The dry season is coming, and many people remembered the fruit pulp that caused a sensation on the market last year that could drive away the curse of the Flame Demon. They came to the Shiyao clan to investigate, trying to get some clues."
He sneered in his heart that neither Earth nor Eladia were missing such thieves who could not get on the table and tried to get something for nothing.
“It’s different.”
Xiao Luna shook her head expressionlessly: "I have seen those peepers before, but this time it's different."
"Caesar." She strengthened her tone: "Do you think ordinary peepers will be grouped in groups of three or five, and carry standard weapons around the tribe?"
"Standard Weapon?"
Heilong was stunned for a moment, then looked down at the little guy in his claws and looked straight into her eyes: "Are you sure?"
"If my eyes are fine."
Luna expressed 100% confirmation: "I don't know when this group of humans appeared on the edge of tribal territory one after another; they were wearing uniform light armor, and the daggers were painted with patterns I didn't know."
"And, I saw almost everyone carrying something, covered in cloth, looking at the shape, I guess it might be a hand crossbow."
Luna said more and more serious: "They carry arrow pouches in their leggings."
Caesar stopped completely to climb into the nest. After listening to Luna's description, his expression became serious and he muttered to himself: "Scout."
In Eladia, such people should be called thieves, but most professional thieves do not play with hand crossbows. They have better bows and arrows to choose from. Bows with the same pounds have a rate of fire three to four times that of hand crossbows under normal circumstances.
The only advantage of hand crossbows over bows and arrows is that they can maintain aiming, and can follow the commander's orders to pull the crossbow machine at any time to maintain unity. If you want to do this with a bow, sometimes the stalemate in the negotiations in the battle will last too long, and the shooters will be exhausted.
Only the army can assemble crossbows.
These people were investigators sent by the army.
"Do the orcs know?"
Caesar was a little uneasy. This was not a playhouse. The appearance of the investigators was actually a signal, which meant that some forces in human beings had planned to attack them.
Damn it, I'm just getting on the right track, can't I give you more time?
"I know, but humans have appeared a lot during this period, and they don't seem to take it seriously. The message chain was broken in Garna, and even Sf was not notified." As a genus of wisdom and immortality, Luna also realized the seriousness of the matter and spoke very quickly.
"Then I'll ask you to go there again."
Caesar picked up the little guy in his hand and asked her to flap her wings and fly: "Go and inform SF of this news, ask him to come to my nest to discuss, and also inform the soldiers to pick up their weapons and prepare for battle."
"Okay." Luna answered.
...
When Sf entered the Black Dragon's nest accompanied by Gal, the commander of the Orcs, he couldn't help but be amazed by the other party's living habits. Caesar's nest was not as dirty as recorded in books, but was extremely dry and neat and orderly.
"His Excellency Caesar, your residence amazed the orcs." The old wizard complimented.
"Thanks to our sons of the forest."
Caesar glanced at Luna who was sitting in the small house made of stone, and did not continue the topic. Instead, he asked Gal: "Have the soldiers started preparing?"
"The kids can't wait."
Sf replied in vain, his forehead wrinkled: "But please forgive the orcs for being dull. I have some doubts. Is the fact as serious as the leprechaun said?"
"I'm afraid it's even worse than this."
Caesar nodded solemnly: "It is a disaster for weak races to occupy rich resources, which makes people jealous and covetous. I had guessed that there would be such a day, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly."
Before Sf could take the initiative, Caesar continued, "Please let me remind you that after you go back later, you should remind the women and children to prepare for departure. The Stone Clan may need to migrate at any time."
Caesar never puts his hopes on the weak and stupidity of his enemies. He must prepare his way out in advance, and he will make a desperate bet and bets sound good and imposing. But when things really come, people will know how unreliable this behavior of putting eggs in a basket is.
It is impossible for the other party to know that there is a great wizard in the Stone Clan, but in this case, I am afraid that I will be fully confident of trying to attack the orcs.
In this regard, Caesar had to be cautious and was ready to fight, while leaving a way out.
After hearing what he said, Sfer's face became solemn. He knew Caesar and knew that this black dragon would not be aimless.
"I understand." The old leader nodded heavily.
"We will never allow those small men to threaten the tribe. We are waiting here. As long as they dare to come, the orcs will give them a hard blow." The commander Gal bumped his fists together, and his words seemed to be sworn and powerful.
"No!"
However, the Black Dragon sighed and shook his head at him, as if he did not agree with Gal's statement.
The straightforward orc suddenly became anxious: "Sir, we have armor and weapons. Please rest assured that the orcs will be able to fulfill their promises to you!"
"I said, no."
Caesar stressed and repeated his words, then stood up and stared at Gaal and said, "Waiting will only lead to destruction."
"You should take the initiative to attack and weaken the enemy's strength as much as possible."
The black dragon finally showed its fangs: "Go, go now. Take your weapons and clean the humans outside like cleaning up garbage, and don't leave a living mouth."
