…………

In the underground tunnel inside Grimbato, Ronin led the way. In fact, he didn't know how to go. Some tunnels he thought would lead to the target suddenly turned around. And some of the fatalities: he didn't know where he was.

During that time, Crasus never said a word to him, which made him even more helpless, complaining that Crasus had to at least guide himself to the place where Alextasa was imprisoned. What is now diverting the attention of the great wizard?

In a tunnel without a trace of light, everyone finally had the opportunity to sit down and rest for a while.

"The surface of the rock skin of this tunnel is a little warm, and we have indeed entered Grimbato." Aurelia sucked a sip of water and passed it to Sylvanas, and gently touched the ground of the tunnel with her hand. The conclusion was that no one had stepped on here for a long time.

"It's really strange. The orcs have occupied Grimbato for so long. Have they never walked through these places?"

Fistard sniffed the surface of the wall, which had a familiar smell on it, the smell that was produced when the fire forged steel.

"These tunnels should have been dug out by the Black Iron Dwarfs. I'll tell you why many years ago, when the Bronzebeard tribe and the Wild Hammer tribe attacked here, the defeated Black Iron guys disappeared inexplicably."

Ronin was still trying to contact Crasus. What surprised him was that the communication on that side was not closed, but was blocked. He was a little worried that it was probably because Crasus was in trouble and had some powerful force to force him to contact him.

"No offense, Lord Fistard." Aurelia smiled, her tone as gentle as ever. "I think we have to express our gratitude to the black iron dwarves now, thanks to their tunnels we can get here. And, they have built the tunnels pretty well, we are no more than bent over and moving forward."

"Although I don't want to admit it, you make sense, ma'am." The dwarf nodded.

These few minutes of relaxation can make everyone's mind clear and continue the journey in the cave.

After the fifth attempt to call failed, Ronin was a little angry. He thought of the approachable appearance that Wadalaran, the chief wizard, showed when he found him. The two had a pleasant conversation. Before they knew it, Crasus mentioned the topic of dragons, and then talked about Alexanderatha's imprisonment and her forced to give birth to ferocious red dragons for the tribe. Although the main force of the tribe has been shattered now, as long as she is still trapped, Kazmodan's orcs can continue to damage the alliance and continue to kill countless civilians.

At that moment, Luo Ning suddenly had the idea of ​​releasing the Red Dragon Queen. He felt that only he could come up with such a wonderful plan. It was ridiculous to think about it now, and Luo Ning sighed.

He still remembered that this idea deeply infected Crasus. In fact, Ronin recalled that the old wizard spent a lot of time discussing the details of the task with him and often encouraged him. Now he had to admit that if it weren't for the wizard's persuasion, he might have left that idea behind him. In some ways, this was more like Crasus's mission than his. Indeed, it was strange that this MP Kenry Tom suddenly found him.

Ronin shook his head. If he continued to ask such questions to himself, he would soon think that Crassus was actually the mastermind behind the whole matter, and he was also using some way to influence himself, allowing him to lead the people behind him to make a decision to go deep into the enemy's territory.

Too ridiculous!

The sudden noise shocked everyone to stand up. Many wheels rolling sounds came from the tunnel.

"Are there any enemies?"

"It shouldn't be, it sounds like the sound of a truck. However, it is impossible to transport a truck in such a narrow tunnel."

"It makes sense, but it doesn't mean there are no enemies nearby." Fistard carefully held the storm hammer in his hand, showing an as if it was a state rather than an attacking state.

Everyone was not taken to stay where they were. They continued to move forward, and Ronin was still leading the way. Sylvanas thought he had obtained Crassus' instructions, but in fact, Ronin wanted to go and see it himself, because Crassus did not reply. Perhaps these voices could take him to the secret room where the queen of the dragon clan was imprisoned.

As they walked through the cave, they heard more and more sounds, as if the whole of Grimbato was awake. The orcs seemed to be in a state of panic. In Ronin's opinion, they must have encountered trouble. At this time, voices came from all directions.

"I don't want to crash into the orc warriors' training ground, or their cafeteria." Fistard muttered.

"Shut up!" Sylvanas glared at him.

Suddenly, a dragon-like roar overwhelmed all the other sounds. The roar was very loud and quickly subsided, but it also made everyone crouch down immediately like frightened birds.

"It seems that all the dragons are locked in the same area. Following this sound, we may find some dragons. Maybe there, some traces of Nathanos can be found there." Fistard said half-jokingly.

Aurelia, who was the easiest to talk to in his eyes, suddenly turned her head and stared at Fistard with a cold look. The dwarf felt his back cool instantly, and stared at Aurelia who had completely changed her appearance with wide eyes. The latter then turned his head and showed a worried look, without blaming Fistard for being rude. After all, he didn't know the relationship between him and Nathanos. Sylvanas touched his sister's nervous and sweaty hand, nodded gently, and told her silently: Nathanos would be fine.

Aurelia was inspired to continue traveling between the tunnels. They had no trouble. Now they could be sure that most of the orcs were far away from them and were busy with some huge projects.

"Are they preparing for war? Now the alliance should be advancing to the orc troops in northern Kazmodan." Wenleza guessed.

Aurelia shook her head, "It shouldn't be. In Quelcelas, I have not received any news that the alliance army is preparing to attack Grembato. But if this is the case, it will be very beneficial to us. The orcs should focus on preparing for war, and their number will be much smaller. Soon, the Dragon Knights will set off with the red dragons in their hands to fly north."

This is of course an ideal situation. Aurelia just said something to comfort herself.

After passing through several passages, they still didn't encounter any situation. However, soon everyone found that there was a very bright passage entrance in front of them, and the chaotic speeches coming from there were getting louder and louder. So they had to move their steps more carefully and slowly approached the interface of the two passages. The leading wizard looked out from the corner.

Luo Ning then realized that the place he thought was the passage was the entrance to a hall on the right. In the hall, a bunch of orcs were working hard to load things into the car, all kinds of things. It seemed that they were going to conduct an expedition and would not come back in the short term.

He told Aurelia and the others what he saw.

The female elf frowned and began to wonder if the previous battle report on the Northern Front was correct? If the answer was yes, why would the orcs go? Not only the dragons and those riders, but the orcs wanted to empty the entire Grimbato.

At this time, the two orcs entered Luo Ning's vision. They seemed to be carrying some heavy object. They obviously wanted to put down the thing, but they didn't dare for some reason. In fact, Luo Ning felt that they were particularly careful, as if the heavy object was made of gold.

Seeing that no one looked at him, the mage boldly moved his head forward a little, trying to see clearly what the orcs care about.

It is round, to be precise, an elliptical! It looks a bit rough, and it seems to have spikes like thorns. It can only remind Luo Ning of something!

One egg.

To be more precise, a dragon egg.

He quickly moved his gaze to those cars. He is now sure that there are several of them full of dragon eggs of various development levels. Some round eggs with smoother appearances, some with more scales than the previous one, and the eggs that are about to hatch. And...! Luo Ning squinted his eyes, regardless of the soreness from his eyes, and tried hard to see clearly. It seemed that there were two dragon eggs with red spots all over his body and smooth surface. They were simply alien in the egg pile.

"The importance of these dragons to orcs is self-evident. Why do they still have to take the risk of bringing these precious goods on the road?" After Ronin shared what he saw, Aurelia asked strangely.

"This looks like a practice. Are they practicing how to retreat?" Fistard pulled his beard. Several people blocked his words without thinking.

‘Roning…’

"gram……"

The sudden sound in his head almost made Ronin scream. He quickly stopped his impulse and trembled. He knew without thinking that the emblem that Crassus gave him was glowing.

‘Listen to me, Ronin. I will guide you to the location of the Red Dragon Queen, and you must rescue her.’

‘First of all, you are on the wrong path. You are going back to the previous fork.’

Ronin did not express any dissatisfaction with Crasus' sudden disappearance. He was still executing the order. Despite some doubts, he returned to the previous place with a fork in the road as Crasus said. Ronin did not pay attention to this place when he passed by. Its entrance was quite narrow and had no lighting, which seemed to indicate that this was a not very important place. The orcs would definitely keep the important passage bright.

"Why are we back?" Fistard asked in a low voice.

"Don't talk, follow him." Sylvanas replied.

Why did Crasus know the structure of the cave here? This question suddenly began to bother Ronin.

‘Next, walk the second passage on your left hand.’

His guidance was not a problem at all. He knew very well every path in the entire Orc Fortress, just as clearly as the orc warriors inside.

Finally, after walking for a few hours, the voice commanded, "Stop!"

Ronning didn't understand why Crasus suddenly stopped, and the other party was silent for a while before continuing to let him move forward. At this moment, he began to walk down a tunnel, as if he was heading towards the heart of the mountains.

"Listen! Have you heard anything?" Wen Leisa's long ears moved. Not only her, but everyone heard it. A heavy breathing came from below.

"Swear in the name of Eagle Nest Mountain, this is the sound of the dragon's breathing. It's several times larger than an ordinary dragon." Fistard pointed at Ronning with a storm hammer. "Red-haired monster!" He began to call Ronning like this. "Where are you going to take us?"

Aurelia and Wenleza also began to be alert, only Sylvanas had not yet wiped out their swords. Her indifference also made her sister Aurelia a little strange. Did she know something?

"Please believe me, I will explain it all later."

"Explanation? You are leading us to a big guy." Fistard suppressed the anger in his heart, preventing himself from being unable to control his voice and attracting other orcs.

"I won't harm you."

"Believe him!" Sylvanas suddenly said.

"What?"

"Believe him!" the female elf said again, responding to the others who showed a surprised expression.

Aurelia and she looked at each other for a while before retracting their weapons, and also asked Wenleza to do so.

She said, "I believe in your judgment, Shiva."

"Thank you, sister."

"And you, mage!" Aurelia looked at Ronin, who became nervous without realizing it. "I don't know what your purpose is, but I won't pursue it for the time being, but if I can't save Nathanos in the end, I will definitely not let you go."

Ronning nodded, and Fistard also lifted his guard. Another voice came from the mage's mind.

‘It seems that I was right when Sylvanas knew it, the secret between me was correct.’ Crassus’s voice sounded a little impatient. ‘You have to go through two more passages. Then turn right and keep walking until you see the hole on your left hand.’

Luo Ning followed his instructions again and tried his best to speed up his pace. His nerves were tense.

‘Turn right and follow the path.’ According to the instructions of the absent guide, Luo Ning thought he would soon see the hole he mentioned. However, he walked for about half an hour and saw nothing. Just as the mage was about to give up, he saw a ray of light. The light was very weak, but it was definitely not an illusion... Moreover, the ray of light came from the left hand side of the passage.

Ronin saw new hope. Without making too loud noises, he increased his pace to the fastest. Because he knew that there must be many orcs guarding the Red Dragon Queen. He had prepared some spells, but hoped that they could be used until the last moment. But when he finally arrived, there was no situation. The passage was empty, only them and his group.

"There are no guards here?" he asked in a low voice.

‘At least, I smelled the demon. But don’t worry, there is nothing here right now.’

Luo Ning nodded and did not ask himself whether he should go in. He was now excited about finally seeing the Red Dragon Queen.

Aurelia followed him, wondering if Nathanos would be inside. However, her thoughts about her lover disappeared completely when she stepped into the hall and witnessed the red dragon for the first time.
Chapter completed!
