Chapter 52 Tiefling (VI)
Suddenly, children's screams were heard at the camp gate.
The tieflings quickly turned their heads to look.
"Hey yo, hey yo, hey yo..."
Several strong and powerful ogres were seen shouting slogans and carrying thick logs as if no one was around. The tiefling guards at the door did not dare to stop them.
"Everyone line up—"
Another troop of more than thirty half-dragon earth elves appeared at the door of the "Ruined House", marching in neat rows, preparing to enter the camp.
Hundreds of Dragon Vein Gnolls followed closely behind. They were natural diggers and builders and would become the main force in constructing this town.
"Roar--"
The atavistic flying dragon roared wildly in the sky, and any snowman who dared to attack would be burned to ashes by its flames.
"Oh my god, the ogres will become our allies."
"These kobolds won't steal our things..."
"Is that a flying dragon?"
"We're going to be working with these monsters from now on."
The tiefling refugees had different attitudes towards the strange-looking "reinforcements" that came to support them. Some were happy, some were afraid, some were uneasy, and some were surprised and astonished.
But one thing is certain
——They couldn't stop these monsters from entering.
Faced with such a huge battle, the usually calm Medoraash was also stunned. He couldn't help but say:
"My Lord, this is definitely not a spur-of-the-moment decision."
"This... is also part of your plan, right?"
Cassius looked down at his followers who were arriving one after another, and exhaled a breath of hot, sulfurous air:
"I've said it before, you have no bargaining power."
Medorash smiled bitterly and shook his head:
"My Lord, you really don't look like a pure red dragon. If it weren't for your powerful strength, I would have suspected that... you are a green dragon who likes to manipulate the situation."
Cassius simply said: "So you can stand here alive instead of being turned into ashes by me when you say this."
"Thank you for your extraordinary forgiveness."
Medrash also realized that he had been a little impolite and ignored his own status, so he nodded quickly to apologize.
Cassius didn't care, but just said: "Take me to your cave, I am very interested in something inside."
"Yes, my lord."
This time, Medorash did not say anything, but just led the way silently.
Coming to a cave deep in the camp, Cassius finally saw what he wanted to see.
——Ancient teleportation array.
Purple runes appeared on the rock wall. There was no apparent pattern to the patterns, but they gave people a sense of order from the depths of their souls.
This is what players in the previous life commonly called the "resurrection point". Countless mages have studied them, but still cannot figure out how these formations without any fluctuations of mana can produce these "star fallers".
The ancient teleportation array in the "Ruined House" is the player's initial birth point.
Medorash said, "My Lord, please forgive our stupidity. Even the most knowledgeable people in the camp cannot figure out the purpose of these ancient runes."
Cassius said: "You will know in the future.
"Protect this place well and never let anyone discover or destroy it."
Medorash said solemnly: "I will follow your orders."
Cassius seemed to have thought of something, and then asked, "Is the contract still in your hands?"
The so-called contract refers to the contract signed between Duke Rackman and the existence in the dark to transform vampires at the cost of a thousand lives. Medorash once chased all the way to the Duke's mansion while investigating a missing case and got it at the risk of his life, which also brought disaster to his whole family.
When Medorash heard this question, he nodded solemnly and recalled the tragic events.
This is not just a contract, but evidence of a crime.
A piece of evidence soaked in blood.
Cassius' tone was unyielding: "In three days, bring the contract to find me at the Burning Embers Nest."
Then, the tiefling paladin turned around and left to coordinate the tieflings to build the town.
Cassius narrowed his eyes and checked Medorash's information.
The holy warrior's own "divine perception" sensed the red dragon's spying, but he just treated everything as normal and did not react.

Comment: When the bloody curtain fell, the holy warrior broke all the vows he had made and launched a final resistance.
"Among all the followers of the Burning Nest, except for Rump, I'm afraid no one can compare to him."
This is Cassius's assessment.
In his opinion, the stalemate between Medoraash and the giant evil snowman was simply because he had only recently become an oathbreaker and was not familiar with his various abilities.
If he could master all the spells and abilities, killing the giant evil snowman alone would be a piece of cake.
The Paladin was also a popular profession in the past, capable of both melee combat and spells, and was nicknamed "Holy Dad" by people.
Although the strength of [Oathbreaker] is not as high as popular professions such as [Oath of Vengeance] and [Oath of Conquest], it is still not weak.
"We still need players..."
Cassius was somewhat looking forward to it. If these guys called the "Fourth Calamity" could be used well, they would definitely be an extremely terrifying force.
The first batch of beta test players will appear in the ancient teleportation array of the "Ruined House", and many of them will become influential figures in the future.
Cassius flew up into the sky, overlooking the now shabby "ruined house".
The ogres inserted logs into the ground as pillars and constructed the framework of the building. The kobolds were drilling around and banging away at it. However, some tieflings stood by with their hands and feet tied, not knowing how to help.
Further away, the goblins have begun paving a road to connect this place with the Valley of the Giants, but progress is slow due to the snow.
The future city of Batto will be built here, and buildings will rise from the ground. This will become a gathering place for the Fallen Starmen and the first "main city" of the players.
Thanks to NoelBD for the reward. The author of Pujie is grateful. I also want to change the name to "Red Dragon Lord". Pure metaphysics believes that dragons with four-character names are very popular. I wonder if you have any opinions. If you have any new suggestions, you can reply here.
