"Your Highness, what should we do?" Kaslo glanced at the abyss beneath his feet and couldn't help but admire the dwarf. It was amazing that he could dig so deep with just a pickaxe! I guess the pickaxe must have been flying with sparks!
"..." Roland glanced at Caslo speechlessly.
"Why would I need you if I knew what to do?" Roland laughed in anger.
"I only have a little over 100 pounds! If I throw it all here, it's only enough to give someone a meal or something! Do you think I can get the Fire Demon up?" Roland was speechless.
"Maybe! After all, you are the reviver and successor of the Lagran Empire! It's normal to have some good things in your hands!" Who knew that Caslo actually agreed seriously.
"If you can talk, talk more. I don't mind!" Roland rolled his eyes at Kaslo and sighed helplessly. He wanted good things too! It depends on the system! Roland really wanted to ask this system, which always gave him "little umbrellas", if it was polite.
"How about we let Cardo use his dragon might to intimidate it? After all, this kind of high-level magical beast has a strong sense of territory, and it will never allow anyone to act presumptuously in front of it!" Caslo suggested.
"What are you standing there for? Get started!" Roland shrugged, looking at Caslo who was looking at him angrily.
"Oh! Come on! Cardo, release the dragon's power! Press down!" Caslo ordered.
"Aang!" Cardo spread his enormous dragon wings, raised his head, and roared loudly. The surging dragon power pressed down like a substance...
“…”Caslo.
“…” Cardo.
“…” Roland.
After a long while, Roland finally blinked his eyes and looked at the man and the dragon with a caring look.
"That's it?" Roland grinned as he looked at the huge mine pit from which not a single word came back.
"Uh... could it be that it's too deep and the dragon's might can't reach it?" Kaslo scratched his head and asked his dragon, Cardo.
"No! Dragon might has strong penetrating power! And it's easily sensed! If there really is a Balrog, it would sense it!" The Storm Dragon Cardor said firmly, raising his claws and pointing at the kneeling coalition troops behind him. The Lagran soldiers were relatively safe, their faces pale and their limbs unsteady. But many of the dwarves did indeed kneel or slump to the ground. Clearly Cardor hadn't unleashed his dragon might on them, but a trace of its powerful penetrating power still emanated, and even that very trace nearly crippled the entire group...
"It's hard to imagine... how our ancestors fought against the Fire Demon..." Balin murmured bitterly.
【Recommendation, Zhuishu is really useful, download it here, everyone can go and try it. 】
After all, Balrogs and dragons occupy the same ecological niche, both Scourge-level beasts, sitting at the top of the food chain. Even though Balrogs lack the dragon's unique might, they possess the intimidating power of Scourge-level beasts! Yet, Durin VI and Nairn I were able to contend with them. Most crucially, the dwarven soldiers were able to withstand the Balrog's pressure... Just imagine how powerful the dwarves were back then!
"Sigh... I hope everything goes well!" Balin prayed in his heart as he looked at the backs of Roland and Kaslo. Now the only ones who could save the dwarves were these few humans...
…
"What's the situation?" Omsk walked over slowly and couldn't help laughing when he saw the king and his minister staring at the big mine.
"Is it settled? Arranged? Don't make any mistakes. Have the soldiers guard that place! In case of any accidents, that's our retreat!" Roland looked at Omsk solemnly. If they couldn't win, they couldn't just go back the same way, right? Those steep stone steps? Haha! By the time the army climbed up, the Balrog would be right behind them and slaughter them all!
"No problem, the Dowinian heavy swordsmen will not let you down! I have asked them to deploy defenses in the corridor leading to the exit of the Massabul Hall!" Omsk almost patted his chest to make the promise.
"Okay! It's okay to be careful!" Roland nodded and continued to lie on the edge of the cliff and study with Caslo.
"..." Roland casually threw a stone down, but there was no echo for a long time. He thought the depth of this place was beyond his imagination. He stood up, patted the dust off his hands, and showed a puzzled expression for the first time.
"What's wrong with His Highness?" Looking at Roland's dark face and Caslo staring at the big mine pit muttering to himself, Omsk asked in confusion. It seemed that both of them seemed to have a serious brain disease.
"What else could it be! This thing can't be lured out! Even Long Wei can't lure it out!" Caslo said casually before Roland could even speak.
"As you can see! That's it!" Roland shrugged and spread his hands, at a loss. The mine was so deep, he couldn't really send the dragon down to look for it, could he? It would be a waste of time to search for a needle in a haystack, but if they got ambushed, it would be a disaster!
"How many methods have you tried?" Omsk looked at the two of them curiously.
"One, let Cardo release the dragon's might to attract it! After all, a monster of its level will have a strong sense of territory!" Caslo explained.
"That's right, but... have you overlooked one thing? It's a seriously injured fire demon! Maybe it ignored Cardo's protest for the purpose of protecting itself!" Omsk analyzed.
"No way! How many years have passed? And he still hasn't recovered from his injuries?" Roland looked at the two of them in disbelief.
"Hiss~ It's possible! Maybe Nain I was loyal to his origin? Maybe he hasn't fully recovered yet! So this Balrog is probably avoiding the battle!" Kaslo slammed his fist on his palm excitedly. Why didn't he think of this! If that's the case, then his job will be very easy! After all, who is easier to fight, a Balrog in his prime or a Balrog that hasn't recovered from his injuries? It's always better to pick on the weak! Not to mention a top-level monster like a Balrog. It's always fun to beat a drowned dog!
"Having said that...how do we find it? Or how do we lure it in after we find it? After all, we can't go down and fight it, right?" Roland said with a headache.
"This..." Omsk was also worried. It was not easy to find this guy in the big mine. It was as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
"By the way! Your Highness, please ask the Smurfs to come over!" Kaslo's eyes suddenly lit up. He almost forgot that they had two dragons!
…
"What's the matter?" The Smurf flapped its wings unwillingly, flying weakly in the air, wilting like a plant lacking water, and was obviously unhappy about being punished.
"It seems like Elf Dragons have spiritual attributes! Can you use spiritual detection? Help us find that Balrog? After all, it shouldn't be able to completely conceal its aura!" Kaslo looked at the Smurfs excitedly. It was well known that Elf Dragons were the magicians of the dragon clan, the only all-elemental dragon clan! Even the Golden Dragon lacked a Dark attribute.
"Huh? That's it?" The Blue Elf tilted her head, disdain flashing in Carslan's large eyes. She'd thought she was being asked to fight, and she was still thinking about what forbidden spell to use to teach the Fire Demon how to become a beast! And now they're asking me to be a dragon-shaped reconnaissance plane? It was so frustrating!
