Chapter 34: North Wind Eagle Guard (V)

"Target fire breath!"

Several short breaths were exhaled again, and several Eagle Guards turned into blazing fireballs and fell to the ground.

As Alger wished, the remaining few Eagle Guards fled in a panic from the place where they suffered heavy casualties, as they were chased by the flying dragon, spreading the reputation of the Red Dragon throughout the Anzeta Wasteland.

As for letting them go, it was a waste of time to capture Alger alive, but it was also a deliberate act.

You have to know that the Rackman family's "Northern Wind Eagle Guard" only has more than 300 people in total, and one-tenth of them were lost in this battle alone. This kind of troops is absolutely elite in the entire Northern United Kingdom.

A few days later, news of a "terrible red dragon" in Storm Peak spread in many places, and a picture of a ferocious red dragon with flames spewing from its mouth was posted on the bounty board of Northwind Castle.

Location: Storm Peaks, Embers Nest
Target: Suspected young red dragon, codenamed "Flying Flame"

Reward: 5000 gold coins
Adventurers also fantasize about becoming the legendary dragon slayer when chatting and bragging in the tavern after dinner. They often get drunk and lie on the table and say, "If that red dragon had met me, it would have been beheaded and taken as a reward!"

Of course, this is a story.

……

Alger felt his head was heavy and his memory was confused.

He first dreamed of his carefree childhood, his mother stroking his head with a smile, and reading aloud stories from the book. He ran in the alley, playing and frolicking with friends he had just met, and everywhere was filled with laughter.

However, the scene changed, and in the dream he was crying loudly on the street, looking for his parents everywhere, but he only found two bodies with their stomachs ripped open and strange symbols carved on their skin in a dark corner.

A middle-aged man with an unclear face and gorgeous clothes stood in the dark alley. He patted his shoulder and said to him in a serious tone: "It was the devil and his descendants who harmed them."

Following closely behind was a blazing fire, a crowd of people fleeing with cries, a river of blood, a woman kneeling on the ground begging for mercy while holding a crying child, and the silver sword in his hand made a cry like an eagle's cry...

"No!"

"Hoo, hoo!"

Alger woke up from his nightmare and suddenly got up. He subconsciously reached to his side until he felt the familiar touch of feathers, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

It was his giant eagle.

He felt his whole body and found no new scars, but the standard plate armor and the silver eagle sword at his waist were all gone.

His hands and feet were still shackled with heavy iron shackles.

"Where am I?"

Alger immediately looked around.

The surroundings were dark and damp, with only a faint light from the torches on the rock walls.

There were hard rocks everywhere, and railings made of thick tree trunks surrounded him. At the door, a fat bear goblin was leaning against the door and sleeping soundly, with the wooden stick in his hand dropped to the ground. There were also goblins with short spears patrolling back and forth in the passage.

"This is the dungeon of the monster's lair."

Alger made an immediate judgment.

He should have been hypnotized by the red dragon and thrown into the dungeon. Now his only goal is to find a way to escape from here, collect as much information as possible, and then report the situation here to the Duke.

But he had no weapons, and the cell was locked tightly with strong iron locks, making it difficult to escape.

"Hey, bugbear, wake up."

Alger waved his hand, trying to attract the attention of the dozing bugbear, so that he could gather intelligence and find a chance to escape.

The bear goblin at the door suddenly woke up, and when he saw Alger wake up, he immediately started shouting.

"Hurry and inform Lord Doro that this human has woken up!"

Alger lowered his voice and said to the bugbear guard:

"Do you want gold?"

"Give me the key, I have it."

"Pah!" the bugbear spat at him.

It picked up the stick on the ground and turned away without mercy, muttering, "You humans just like to be smart. Do you really think we are stupid?"

"I have already stripped you clean. You are left with nothing. You are a poor bastard."

"Someone is coming!"

"This human is awake!"

Following the bear goblin's vigorous shouts, the goblins ran around to tell each other, quickly spreading the news outside the dungeon.

"hateful!"

"let me out!"

Alger grabbed the railing and shook it hard. The heavy chains on the shackles collided with each other, making a "clattering" sound. However, even the ogres could not easily break open the cell door, so how could it be shaken open by a weak human? It was just a futile waste of energy.

After trying for a long time, the thick wooden railing remained motionless, and Alger finally gave up trying to break down the cell door.

He regained his senses, sat down and began to think carefully about countermeasures.

"This red dragon must have had a purpose in sparing my life."

"It will torture me."

"This cunning dragon probably wants to murder the Duke and complete his evil plan, perhaps to rob treasure, occupy the city, or overthrow the regime.
"But no matter what he asked me to do, I could never answer."

"It's a pity that everything on my body was taken away, otherwise I could carry the flying dragon poison with me and be ready to commit suicide at any time."

Alger clenched his teeth, mentally prepared to face cruel punishment.

Sure enough, three strong bear goblins came from the end of the passage.

They struggled to open the iron lock with a rough key, untied the heavy chain wrapped around the cell door, and slowly opened the door.

The doorway was blocked by the Bugbear's thick body, leaving no room for escape.

"Follow me, human. The master wants to see you."

The bugbear hunched over and walked into the cell, approaching Alger.

"Do not touch me."

Alger said viciously.

But the bugbear acted as if he didn't hear anything. He walked up to him, grabbed his shackles, wrapped the chains around his hands a few times, and then carried Alger out of the cell.

Several bear goblins nearby also surrounded him and lifted his entire body up to ensure that he had no chance of escape.

"I'm telling you, this human is trying to bribe me."

"But I don't buy it, haha!"

"You were so impressive before, but this is what happens when you get caught."

"Yeah, those flying dragons are really useless. They can't even defeat a human like this. They ate all that meat for nothing."

"Yes, why not give it all to us."

While the bugbears were busy with their work, they chatted and joked with their colleagues.

The weak Giant Eagle Knight was simply unable to struggle.

If Alger were to soar in the sky on a giant eagle, he would be fully confident that he could kill these ugly monsters alone, and could even toy with his opponents at ease.

But now he was in the dungeon, weak all over, with his hands and feet bound. The proud Giant Eagle Knight could only let himself be manipulated by these bear goblins who only had brute force, without any room for resistance.
