The Lord of the Rings: Lords of Middle-earth.

Chapter 1021 Hidden Dangers in the Stream!

“…It really is!” Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso’s eyelids twitched.

“The number shouldn’t be many…and they should also come to an end when the Great Movement ends!” King Chewu of the Turbulent Waves affirmed.

"Are you sure?" Oakrian Ryukin couldn't help but interject, his eyes filled with an expression that said, "Don't lie to me, I'm your junior."

"Of course! The dragon race naturally lets those dragons with demonic dragon bloodlines fend for themselves. Although they don't hunt them down, they don't protect them either! Those evil dragons have been banished from Dragon Island and become what you humans call evil dragons!" The Dragon King Chewu flicked his tail, and the coolness brought by the autumn wind sneaked into the gaps in Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso's armor, making him shrink his neck.

"That's terrible... Senior, we're in big trouble!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso said with a bitter face.

"?" King Chewu of the Turbulent Waves looked at Grand Duke Oakrian Yasso in confusion.

"The kingdom now has an evil dragon..." Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso hadn't finished speaking.

"The descendant of the dragon dares to rebel? How dare he attack the Lagrange Empire? Doesn't he know that your empire has so many dragon knights that they can drown him?" The might of the surging dragon king Chewu erupted instantly.

“Well, not quite. That dragon branch is the mount of one of our dragon knights! But you should consider that wild dragons are still alive…” Grand Duke Okrian Yaso grimaced, his teeth aching. If wild dragons can survive, then their entire clans are even more likely to do so!

"That's troublesome! The Demon Dragon Clan is not to be underestimated! After all, they are also a high-ranking dragon clan, and if their numbers increase, they will crush the lower-ranking dragon clans!" King Chewu of the Tidal Dragon Clan pondered for a moment and slowly nodded.

"It's alright, we feel much more at ease with you here, senior!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yasuo immediately gave Oakrian Ryukin a wink.

“Yes, yes, yes! What are we afraid of with you here, senior? We have everything we need now!” Oakrian Ryukin nodded hurriedly.

"Alright, alright, you two, stop flattering me! I'll help if there's danger, but I can't guarantee my fighting strength! After all, thousands of years have passed. Although I sealed myself with a spatial rift, the cost of maintaining my origin is too high. Most of my origin has been worn away by time! You need to be prepared!" King Chewu of the Turbulent Waves said solemnly.

“How is this possible? You just…” Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso turned his head in horror to face the towering dragon king Chewu who was right in front of him. A chill ran down his spine and his pupils suddenly contracted.

"It doesn't take much strength to deal with that kind of dragon! Don't forget I'm the Water Dragon King! That guy is a dragon spellcaster! I'm better at melee combat..." The Giant Wave Dragon King Che Wu couldn't help but laugh at the thought of what he was going to say. That King Ghidorah had its buffs stacked up to the maximum, and it was already quite capable that it hadn't been killed!
"So your current combat strength..." Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso rubbed his hands, somewhat at a loss, after all, the strength of one's backing determined the extent of one's arrogance.

"Don't even think about god-level combat power. If you really encounter a demigod, at most you two will be dragged away. Whether you can leave any trace behind depends entirely on luck! Within the sixth rank, you should be considered invincible right now!" King Chewu of the Turbulent Dragon King raised his neck, thoroughly enjoying the junior's flattery.

"So that means sixth-tier enemies are like trash!" Oakrian Ryukin's eyes lit up. "Ahem! It's not that exaggerated. Taking down two or three is no problem!" The Dragon King Che Wulong, a shrewd old man, knew what Oakrian Ryukin was up to the moment he lifted his butt, so he quickly patched up the situation. After all, if this kid really went headfirst into a group of sixth-tier enemies, he'd be in trouble!

"Alright, let's go! It's getting dark, we need to find a place to stay!" Grand Duke Oakrian Yaso interrupted their conversation.

……

"Thrandruid! You'd better give me a proper explanation!" Roland's eyes were blazing with fury, like a raging dragon. He stood in front of Thranduil, his aura menacing.

"An accident...an accident! I promise it was an accident!" Thranduil explained awkwardly, bowing his head.

"Unexpected! Tell me why high-level magical beasts appeared in the places the Elf Ranger had checked!" Roland said angrily. You must know that the Ranger has an all-terrain detection skill, just like a radar. They can use their battle aura to scan the surrounding map, and their battle aura will give feedback when they encounter obstacles. High-level magical beasts cannot hide in front of them at all!

Just now, a high-level magical beast, the Swamp Crocodile, slithered into the magical stream and launched a sneak attack on the group near the shore! A skill beam tens of meters long transformed into a gigantic maw, tearing at everything in its path! If Marquis Al-Tegran Franz hadn't prepared a second-tier Radiant Shield magic scroll in advance, and if it hadn't been for the Lagran Kingdom's troops passing by, the allied forces would have lost at least a hundred professional soldiers in that single blow! And don't forget, the Lagran Kingdom has dwarven heavy infantry behind them!
At this moment, large areas of shields on the battlefield shone with white light. Because dragon blood was used as the core energy source, a faint dragon's might permeated the air! This was what it looked like when a passively triggered scroll was activated by a group! The Lagrange City Guards affected by the attack were all second-tier warriors, as fragile as paper when facing high-level magical beasts! After sensing the deadly threat, the scrolls were automatically activated, and hundreds of bright "light bulbs" appeared on the battlefield.

"Boom!" A heavy thud was heard as a colossal creature was dropped from the sky. Looking up, everyone saw an even larger dragon flapping its wings and flying through the air.

At this moment, Kaldor was no longer bound by the dragon saddle. The entire dragon flew in the air in its true form. On the fifty-meter-long dragon body, Caslo stood on the dragon's head with the dragon spear in his hand. His feet seemed to be rooted to the ground, and he did not move an inch no matter how the dragon flew!
"It's done!" Caslo calmly maneuvered the dragon to crash down a patch of trees before landing.

"How did this thing get in?" Roland asked with a dark face, knowing that their reconnaissance team included not only elven rangers but also the dragon knights of Lagrang!

"To be able to sneak in while Dragon Eyes and Rangers were scouting, they must have stealth abilities! Crocodile-type magical beasts mostly ambush, and the environment here in Magic Stream is very similar to a swamp! It's a good place to attract crocodiles!" Caslo said without any surprise. After all, compared to a fast-flowing river like the Swift River that can't support many giant creatures, the gentle Magic Stream is more attractive to these crocodile-type magical beasts!

“Yes! Swamp Crocodiles are very good at ambushes! Their underwater stealth ability makes even us elves give them a wide berth!” Thranduil wiped his sweat and quickly chimed in with a smile.

“So you admit you knew there were swamp crocodiles here!” Roland raised an eyebrow, as if he had caught Thranduil red-handed.

"???" Seriously? Thranduil's brain nearly exploded. This is practically throwing shit at him! I know you're upset about all those scrolls going to waste, but that doesn't just mean you have to label everyone you meet with this!

“…Skin them! Take the magic crystals! Collect the blood, bones, and tendons, and share the meat with everyone! Consider it a special meal today! Oh, right! You! Compile the bill for our scrolls and send it to Lord Thranduil, he'll reimburse us!” Roland nodded.

"???" Thranduil looked at Roland walking past him with a head full of question marks. Brother! If you had told me earlier that you were like this, I wouldn't have come out with you!
I lived, my family.
