Make the dragon great again

Chapter 20
It is already summer now, and there are occasional heavy rains in the forest, and mosquitoes breed in large numbers. Most of the traces left by the "thunder rain" half a month ago have been washed away by nature.

However, there are still some traces that will not be submerged by time so quickly, such as some goblin corpses that were not completely carbonized by the lightning strike at that time, and the scorched ground that was burned by the thunder.

At the same time when William and the mysterious magician had their own ghosts, and the noble private soldiers from the Principality disturbed the town of Rannod, in the northwest of Rannod town, in the Great Forest of Murion, a group of Behemoth People in this country are also looking for a certain missing princess...

"Your Excellency Rex, the people from the Principality of Griffin have arrived in the town of Rannold."

A knight in full armor reported what he had just learned to a middle-aged man in simple casual clothes with a big sword in both hands.

"understood."

Rex waved his hand to let the knight back down, looking at the strange tooth-shaped gemstone pendant given to him by the client in his hand, he felt a little puzzled.

It has been more than half a month since Her Royal Highness disappeared, but the duchess seems to know her exact location all the time, but it was not until after Her Royal Highness went deep into the Mullin Forest that he asked someone to follow her secretly, as if deliberately letting her escape ;
Forget it, but the Duchess secretly revealed some outdated information to the Principality of Griffin, so that the other party will always stay behind her team, and she doesn't know what her plan is.

"Forget it, I, a lone traveler, must not be able to figure out the matters between these great nobles. Anyway, the Duchess's salary will not be less, so I will just do it..."

Shaking his head, Rex put away the pendant his client had asked him to carry along the way, walked to the remains of a goblin with only half a skeleton left, and gently pushed aside the newly grown weeds on the ground with his big sword , a piece of scorched earth that had been struck by lightning was revealed.

Gently inserting the big sword into the soil, Rex silently felt the different tactile sensations when the blade penetrated into the soil and rubbed against different soil textures.

It wasn't until most of the blade was inserted into the soil that Rex stopped what he was doing.

"The soil burned by the thunder attribute magic has reached this depth... Ordinary thunder attribute magic will quickly disperse after touching the ground. Those who can condense the thunder element magic power to this level must at least reach the diamond level!"

There are more than one such traces. In this area scattered with goblin corpses, there are many lightning-struck scorched earth like this densely distributed.

"Although the information says that Her Royal Highness has the means to explode diamond-level strength, she is not good at thunder attribute magic..."

At this time, another knight hurried over and reported to Rex nervously:

"Your Excellency, we found a Goblin city west of here!"

"Goblin Walled City?"

Rex was taken aback, thinking he heard it wrong, but turned around and looked at the scattered goblin corpses on the ground, swallowed, and asked:
"Are you sure it's a Walled City, not a camp or lair?"

The nervous knight quickly replied:

"It has not been confirmed yet, but judging from the scale alone, it is unlikely to be lower than the level of the Walled City!"

"It's not lower than that!" Rex's eyes widened.

"As far as we have observed, there are at least three places where there are suspected lair decorations of the Goblin Great Shaman..."

Although Rex, who ranks fourth in the Eastern Adventurer's Guild, has always said that he does not like noble knights, but in his heart he still believes in the judgment level of these orthodox knights;
Therefore, when he realized that he and the others seemed to have fallen into an extremely dangerous area, Rex, whose scalp was numb for an instant, quickly ordered everyone to gather.

Although he is a diamond-level solo adventurer, Goblin City is a "dungeon" that requires several diamond-level teams to deal with it. The fortress is definitely a dead end, let alone a large goblin fortress that seems to have three great shamans!

While keeping an eye out for movements in the west, everyone quickly moved in the direction of the next destination according to the information given by the Duchess in advance.

After staying away from the range of the Goblin Walled City, Rex breathed a sigh of relief and began to analyze the information he had just obtained.

"It seems that Her Royal Highness encountered a large number of goblins who came out of the city walled here half a month ago..."

Rex had teamed up with several other diamond-level solo adventurers to raid a small Goblin city. At that time, the army of goblins that kept pouring in from the depths of the forest gave Rex Very impressed.

If it weren't for the fact that there were two diamond-level magicians among them who were able to cast range-type spells to clear the field in turn, it would be hard to say whether they could escape, let alone the powerful Goblin Shaman in the end...

Therefore, Rex was very surprised that Her Royal Highness, who was "running away alone" according to the information, was able to escape from the goblin army.

"Not to mention that the traces of thunder attribute magic were not left by the princess, but by her. She alone will definitely not be able to escape from the goblin army... There must be a master to help she!"

Rex narrowed his eyes slightly, and finally realized that the commission he had accepted seemed simple, but in fact it was actually dangerous.

"However, the Duchess just wanted me to track down that highness, and didn't say that I must take her back..."

He took out the pendant from the inner pocket of his clothes and looked at it. Rex thought that this thing might be the key point.

Just when Rex was about to order the team to set off towards the next destination, the fully armed knight at the beginning said:
"Your Excellency, Griffin's people will probably be here soon, should we remind them?"

Rex frowned and didn't answer for a while.

To be honest, Rex is one of the more country-minded adventurers. His ancestor was once a down-and-out nobleman of Bechymos, and he has never had a good impression of the Principality of Griffin;
He accepted the Griffin-related entrustment for the sake of the undeniable reward, which didn't mean he really didn't care about the Griffin people behind him.

After thinking about it carefully, I found that there was no item "helping the Griffins" in the entrustment. Rex was about to directly reject the knight's proposal, but suddenly he had a second thought:
"Perhaps we can use this Goblin Walled City to surprise those southerners..."

Thinking of this, Rex said calmly:
"It makes sense, but we can't stay here, so let's continue to speed up, leave marks along the way, I will return alone, leave a message on the way they must pass, and then catch up with you, at my speed , it's not difficult."

The knight was just a foolish and loyal person to his lord, the "Duchess", and he didn't have much scheming. After thinking about it for a while, he found that what Rex said was reasonable, so he agreed.

Not long after, Rex quietly returned to the vicinity of the Goblin Walled City, found a high point to observe, and found that the movement of the large team could already be observed from the east, and it was easy to know that it was the chasing team from the Principality of Griffin. Search the team.

"Hey, the Duchess didn't tell me to help you southerners... I did come to remind you, but you may not like the way of reminding!"

Rex sneered, jumped off the high point, and touched in the direction of the Goblin Walled City.

Not long after, in the originally quiet forest, a large group of goblins roared. It seemed that something had disturbed the Goblin Walled City. The sound sounded from the Walled City, and it tended to move slowly towards the east... …

Rex, who had quietly fled to the southern forest, looked pale but couldn't hide his excitement.

"Haha! I heard that those Griffins are very obsessed with hunting down the princess. They may have dispatched several diamonds. I hope my 'reminder' will satisfy you!"

……

In the east of the forest, a large group of elite Griffin soldiers led by William were chasing in the direction of the Goblin Walled City following the clues they had obtained in the town of Rannold.

Of course, William is just a puppet leader, and the one who actually commands this team is Coleman, the Principality's chief martial artist.

At the same time, an old human mage holding a black crystal ball followed the team in the forest under the cover of magic effects.

Suddenly, the old mage frowned, and took out his staff. The crystal stone embedded in the tip of the staff was emitting a faint yellow light.

"The blessing of the wyvern has been triggered? Is there danger ahead? Yes, after all, it is a dragon descendant who has awakened the blood of the dragon clan. It is not surprising that I can feel the danger, but people like Griffin I don’t have to worry about anything if I explore the way ahead.”

After thinking for a while, the old mage shook his head and smiled, put away his short staff, and continued to follow the team...

……

To be continued (change first and then change).

Surprised, when I opened the writer's assistant, I found that I was rewarded again today, and thank you again for the 3000 dots rewarded by the boss of 'Conservation Free'!
