Chapter 34 North Wind Eagle Guard (V)
"Target fire breath!"
A few more short breaths were spurted out, and several Eagle Guards turned into blazing fireballs and fell to the ground.
As Alger wished, the remaining Eagle Guards fled from this place where they suffered heavy casualties in a panic under the pursuit of the flying dragon, spreading the reputation of the red dragon to the entire Anzeta Desert.
Letting them go was not only a waste of time to capture Alger alive, but also a deliberate act.
You should know that there are only more than 300 "North Wind Eagle Guards" of the Rackman family, and one-tenth of them were lost in this battle alone. This kind of troops are absolutely elite in the entire Northland United Kingdom.
A few days later, the news that there was a "terrible red dragon" in Storm Peak spread in many places, and the bounty list of North Wind Castle also posted a picture of a ferocious red dragon with flames spewing from its mouth.
Location: Storm Peak, Embers Nest
Target: A suspected young red dragon, codenamed "Flying Flame"
Bounty: 5,000 gold coins
When adventurers chat and brag in the tavern after dinner, they also fantasize about becoming the legendary dragon slayer. They often get drunk and lie on the table and say, "If that red dragon met me, it would have been beheaded and taken for the reward!"
Of course, this is all later.
…
Alger felt heavy in his head and his memory was confused.
He first dreamed of his carefree and beautiful life as a child. His mother stroked his head with a smile and read aloud the story in the book. He ran in the alley, playing and fighting with his friends who he had just met, and there was laughter everywhere.
However, the scene changed. In the dream, he was crying loudly on the street, looking for his parents everywhere, but he only found two bodies with their stomachs cut 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, patted his shoulder, and said to him in a solemn tone: "It was the devil, the descendants of the devil who harmed them."
Following closely, there was a blazing fire, a crying crowd fleeing, a river of blood, a woman kneeling on the ground holding a crying child and begging for mercy, and the silver sword in his hand made a sound like an eagle's cry...
"No!"
"Hoo, hoo!"
Alger woke up from the nightmare and got up suddenly. He subconsciously rubbed his side until he felt the familiar touch of feathers, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
It was his giant eagle.
He touched his whole body, and there were no new scars on his body, but the standard plate armor and the silver sword of the eagle on his waist were all gone.
He was still shackled with heavy iron shackles on his hands and feet.
"Where am I?"
Alger immediately looked around.
The surroundings were dark and damp, with only a faint light from the torches on the rock wall.
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. The stick in its hand fell to the ground. There were also goblins holding 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 there was no weapon in his hand, and the cell was tightly locked with a strong iron lock, making it difficult to escape.
"Hey, bear goblin, wake up."
Alger waved his hand, trying to attract the attention of the dozing bear goblin, taking the opportunity to inquire about information 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.
"Go and inform Lord Doro that this human has woken up!"
Alger lowered his voice and said to the bear goblin guard:
"Do you want gold?"
"Give me the key, I have it."
"Pah!"
The bear goblin spat at him.
It picked up the stick on the ground and turned away mercilessly, muttering: "You humans just like to be smart, do you really think we are stupid?"
"I have already stripped you clean, there is nothing left, you are a pauper."
"Someone come!"
"This human has woken up!"
With the bear goblin's full-throated shout, the goblins ran around to tell each other, and quickly conveyed the news to the outside of the dungeon.
"Damn it!"
"Let me out!"
Alger grabbed the railing and shook it hard, and the heavy iron chains on the shackles collided, making a "clattering" sound. However, even the ogre could not easily break the prison 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 railings remained motionless, and Alger finally gave up forcibly destroying the prison door.
He regained his sanity, sat down and thought carefully about countermeasures.
"This red dragon must have a purpose for leaving my life."
"It will torture me."
"This cunning dragon probably wants to murder the Duke and complete its evil plan, perhaps robbing treasures, occupying cities, or overthrowing the regime.
"But no matter what he asks or what he asks me to do, I must not answer. ”
"It's a pity that everything on my body was taken away, otherwise I could carry the dragon poison and be ready to commit suicide at any time."
Alger gritted his teeth, and was ready 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 cell door.
The door was blocked by the thick body of the bear goblin, leaving no space for escape.
"Follow me, human, the master wants to see you."
The bear goblin hunched his body and walked into the cell, approaching Alger.
"Don't touch me."
Alger said viciously.
But the bear goblin seemed not to hear it, walked up and grabbed his shackles, wrapped the chain around his hands several times, and then carried Alger out of the cell.
Several bear goblins nearby also surrounded him and lifted his body to ensure that there was no possibility of escape.
"I'm telling you, this human is trying to bribe me."
"But I won't fall for it, haha!"
"They were so powerful before, but now they are like this after being captured."
"Yeah, those flying dragons are really useless. They can't even beat a human like this. They ate all that meat for nothing."
"Yes, why not give it all to us."
The bear goblins were busy chatting and joking with their colleagues.
The weak giant eagle knight was powerless to struggle.
If he was riding a giant eagle and flying in the sky, Alger was sure that he could kill these ugly monsters alone, and even play with his opponents calmly.
But now he was in the dungeon, weak all over, with his hands and feet tied, and the proud giant eagle knight could only let these bear goblins with brute force do whatever they wanted, without any room for resistance.
