As a cunning and cunning red dragon, Bertorgas did not attack immediately after arriving.
Quite the opposite!
He first got a rough idea of the types and numbers of monsters in this army.
Then gather the chiefs of each tribe and intimidate these guys by releasing the "dragon power".
Finally, through integration, the ragtag crowd that originally lacked organization and management was divided into several parts, and the "supervisor" he personally appointed was responsible for command and dispatch.
On the other side, priests from the orcs and gnolls were also gathered and organized into separate teams.
The main function of these guys is to add various BUFFs to all the main forces before launching an attack to ensure that they can not lose in close combat.
After all, major temples in Mailatma City will also send priests to bless human soldiers with the same enhanced magic.
In addition, Bertorgas personally flew over the city of Mylatma and inspected all the places where crossbows and ballistae were placed on the city wall.
Because those huge, sharp and thick arrows are one of the few weapons that can threaten and harm adult or even mature dragons.
His public appearance immediately aroused the nervousness of most civilians in the city.
Since there is only one mage tower in the entire Mylatma, arcane magic power is extremely scarce, so there is no air defense capability at all.
If one flew into the city from above and then swooped down to spit out scorching flames, then most of the city would be plunged into a sea of flames in an instant.
If the warehouse where the grain reserves are stored is burned down, the war will not be able to continue.
So after confirming that Zuo Si and others had slept for more than eight hours, Earl Wix Target immediately sent people to summon the entire team, including Jaheira and Khalid, who were harpists, to the Lord's Mansion.
Discuss countermeasures in the lobby.
He said straightforwardly without any nonsense: "Everyone! At two o'clock in the afternoon, many people in the city saw a red dragon passing overhead.
Although he did not swoop down to launch an attack, he had already caused considerable panic.
I hope you can think of a way to at least ensure that this dragon cannot enter and leave the city unscrupulously.
Otherwise, large residential areas and warehouses storing materials in the city may be burned to ashes under the attack of this red dragon."
"Is this dragon here for reconnaissance?"
A strange light flashed in Zuo Si's eyes.
Because he was basically certain that the red dragon that suddenly appeared over the city was definitely not Wilmes.
It should be the other male red dragon Bertogas lured here.
Now that the "scapegoat" is in place, the next "dragon-slaying script" can also begin to be staged.
After all, in Zuo Si's eyes, the thousands of monsters outside the city are all mana waiting to be harvested.
In addition, killings on this scale will inevitably bring about an increase in basic attributes.
He has been looking forward to using this method to make up for his relatively low attributes bit by bit.
The Earl nodded seriously: "Yes! He is here to investigate.
And we almost figured out the positions of the large crossbows we placed on the city walls and arrow towers...
This dragon's caution and cunning far exceeded my expectations.
I originally thought the other party would launch a direct attack."
Jaheira seemed to have thought of something, and immediately interjected: "Not only that! Khalid and I were once captured by a jackal patrol when we were investigating deep into the camp.
When these monsters brought us in front of the red dragon, we all lost consciousness in an instant.
If nothing else, he should have cast some kind of charm or mind control spell.
This also means that the red dragon may use spells to control the officers commanding the battle on the city wall, causing the entire defense line to fall into chaos."
"Damn! Wouldn't that be more troublesome?"
Count Wicks Targett's face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Not only him, but the knight standing aside responsible for arranging the defense also frowned.
After all, a red dragon that can fly, breathe fire, and has extremely strong defense and vitality is already quite difficult to deal with.
Now we also need to add charm and control spells...
Just when the scene fell into silence, Zuo Si took the initiative to stand up and said with a smile: "Please don't worry, Lord Count. As long as Mailatma can survive until nightfall, leave the rest to us." p>
"Stay until nightfall? What do you mean..."
Count Wicks Targett seemed to realize something.
But before he could say anything, a breathless soldier rushed in from outside and shouted at the top of his lungs: "No... it's not good! The city... those monster armies outside the city began to attack the city.
Got it!"
"What? How could it be so fast! They obviously haven't built enough siege equipment yet!"
The count suddenly jumped up from his chair.
"But they have a dragon! A red dragon hovering over the city! Our people are very nervous now!" the soldier explained in a hurry.
"It seems that we have to fight a defensive battle first. Let's go, Earl. Let's go to the city wall together. Otherwise, the temporarily recruited civilians and ordinary soldiers will not be able to stop the dragon's attack." Zuo Si did not panic.
He suggested hurriedly.
"You're right! At this time, the less you can flinch."
Earl Wicks Targett quickly put on his family's magic armor with the help of his attendants, picked up a shimmering silver spear, and was the first to take the lead and walk outside.
In Faerûn, a land filled with conspiracies, intrigues and countless powerful monsters, the ruling aristocratic class has almost no "waste".
In other words, waste simply cannot survive in such a cruel and harsh environment.
The higher the status of the nobles, the more often they either have a high level of warriors, or rely on their huge financial resources to become mages, warlocks, or use strong connections to become a priest serving gods.

Because only in this way can their family survive in this crisis-ridden world and continue to grow and develop.
When leaving the gate of the lord's mansion, Earl Wicks Targett also kissed his wife affectionately, as well as his two underage sons and a little daughter who was only seven or eight years old.
By the time a group of people crossed the street and reached the wall near the city gate, they could already see the monster overseer waving his whip, driving away the messy goblins and pushing several huge siege towers and battering rams slowly forward...
Behind these cannon fodder are densely packed orcs, gnolls, lizards and snake-men as far as the eye can see.
Guys with immense strength, such as trolls, ogres and half-giants, were organized into a separate team, obviously ready to be sent to break through the city gates and tear apart the defense line at critical moments.
With the quality of most human soldiers, it is not easy to stop these guys.
In particular, this group of trolls, ogres and half-giants are covered with thick armor sheets for protection, just like human tanks.
Even the shortest ogre is three meters tall, the half-giant can grow to three and a half meters, and the troll can grow to over four and a half meters.
Usually just one stick can smash several people into meat pies or meat sauce.
Such a huge difference in size and strength is enough to turn the bravest person into a coward in an instant.
In addition, those catapults, which looked very rough in workmanship but were enough to pose a huge threat to the city wall, had slowly begun to throw stones.
But unfortunately, the jackals with little knowledge and cultural level obviously don't know how to adjust the distance.
After several launches, they were still far away from the city wall.
Among them, two big rocks hit me on the head.
Seven or eight goblins were killed on the spot, and a large number of others were injured.
Although the monsters have built many siege tools for themselves by enslaving human captives, they lack knowledge and education and are really unable to use these "high technologies". ..
