Chapter 106: 104 Northland Intelligence (Fourth Update)

The serpentmen met a tragic end; they would become food and be torn to pieces and devoured by the monsters.

Saru, who had witnessed all of this, swallowed hard.

The elderly lizardman was glad that he had chosen Otto, a promising force, early on.

Having dealt with the annoying serpentmen, Otto's mood improved significantly.

Thinking of what to do next, he asked Saru, “What's the latest news about the northern part of Nolan Forest?”

An adult black dragon without powerful backing was not a concern for Otto.

It was just an aside, what really needed attention was the Thunder Legion in the north of Nolan Forest.

To become the true master of Nolan Forest, one could not avoid them.

Mother of Thorns, Cassiopeia, had been operating in Nolan Forest for so long, but she had never been able to bring the Northland under control.

Just from this point, it was clear that those guys were not easy to deal with.

Saru nodded and then said, “As for the Thunder Legion entrenched in the north of Nolan Forest, we've sent scouts to continuously monitor them from the periphery.

Just like before, they still prefer to stay in the Northland and are more vigilant now. Maybe they have found out about our intentions.”

Otto asked, “What do you know about their specific strength?”

Saru: “Your Majesty, I think it would be better if I let someone more professional answer that for you.”

Amidst Otto's puzzled expression, a muscular goblin stepped forward—it was Gaz.

This guy looked very familiar. His size was unique among goblins, so it was hard not to remember him.

The first time Otto saw Gaz was three years ago, but he was too lazy to delve into those details.

“Your Majesty! ”

Gaz respectfully knelt before Otto, looking calm and composed, unlike other goblins who would be scared upon seeing Otto and their legs would immediately go soft.

“I used to be a part of the Thunder Legion. I can provide some useful information about their internal workings.”

“Go on!”

Otto watched the unique goblin with interest. After receiving Otto's approval, Gaz began his story.

“The number of monsters in the Thunder Legion isn't large, adding up to less than ten thousand from all the clans, but their strength is formidable. Even the most basic monsters have at least the strength of Quilboar.”

So there were ten thousand monsters with strength equal to or greater than the Quilboar?

Otto imagined the scene of them battling the Soaring Dragon Legion and it seemed that relying solely on his minions, their chances of winning were not very high.

Now, the Soaring Dragon Legion had many monsters, and although Otto hadn't counted specifically, together with the monster families that had joined along the way, there were estimated to be around forty to fifty thousand battle-ready monsters.

However, most of them were Gnolls, Lizardmen, and other miscellaneous soldiers. A strong Quilboar could easily take on four or five of them, or even more.

That is to say, if they confronted head-on, relying only on the Soaring Dragon Legion, they might not even be able to defeat the tough guys up north.

It appeared that possessing such great strength was the reason why Mother of Thorns, Cassiopeia, couldn't do anything about them despite operating in Nolan Forest for so long.

As Otto pondered this, Gaz's narration continued.

“They are loyal to an elderly blue dragon called Violent Thunder, who disappeared nearly two hundred years ago. For some reason, they have been guarding the north side of Nolan Forest ever since without knowing why.” This information was already known to Otto, so he kept it brief to avoid annoying the great Silver Dragon Lord.

Gaz spoke faster: “Now, the Thunder Legion obeys the orders of a two-headed ogre called Kuru. This two-headed ogre rarely appears, so I don't know much about him.

All I know is that one head is called Koru, adept at lightning magic, and the other head is called Uru, who usually controls the body and is a powerful warrior.”

At this point, Otto asked in surprise: “So you're saying that these two heads are collectively called Kuru, and it's a two-headed ogre with both magic and martial arts?”

As he said this, Otto glanced at Mega Fatty and Second Fatty, who were daydreaming nearby.

Ever since this kid evolved into a two-headed ogre, it seemed like he was developing in this direction.

After growing a new Second Fatty, he was already very proficient in wielding the two-handed hammer bestowed upon him by Sofia when controlling the body.

“Yes, Your Majesty!”

Gaz gave a positive reply, then continued, “Not only that, although I have never witnessed it personally, Kuru's prestige in the Thunder Legion is very high, and he should be very powerful as well.

Because there are hundreds of chimeras in the Thunder Legion, and they are all willing to obey his orders!”

Upon hearing this startling news, everyone else except for Link, who already knew about it, was shocked, including both Saru and Otto.

However, Sofia appeared indifferent, as she was napping in her chair.

She had no recollection of what was being discussed on the side.

The reason for this situation was simple: apart from dragons and some other rare and powerful creatures, chimeras could definitely be considered the rulers of the skies.

Now, there may be many giant eagles and hawks in the Soaring Dragon Legion, as well as quite a few manticores and perytons.

Altogether, there should be a few hundred of them, but if they were to go up against nearly a hundred chimeras, it would be hard to tell the outcome.

Perhaps the chances of losing would be even higher, because most ordinary monsters would be afraid and reluctant to fight against these aerial overlords.

There are also some chimeras and wyverns of equal strength in the Soaring Dragon Legion, but their combined numbers have just reached the double digits.

However, if Otto were to join the battle personally, he could completely crush these chimeras.

As long as he could forcefully create an opening, the inspired monsters would naturally unleash their ferocity and charge without fearing death.

At this point, Gaz added, “These chimeras are somewhat different from the ones we usually encounter; their dragon heads are blue.”

Chimeras generally have three heads, with the dragon head positioned in the middle. They can use different breath attacks based on the color of the dragon head.

The chimeras commonly found in Nolan Forest and the Sulfur Mountains have red dragon heads, which naturally grant them the Flame Breath ability.

Generally speaking, the colors of chimera heads resemble dragon species.

Since they have blue heads, their breath attack should be the same as that of blue dragons – the Lightning Breath.

Although blue dragons are considered weaker than red dragons in the hierarchy of Color Dragons, they are still quite powerful.

So, could it be that chimeras with blue heads are also stronger than the more common chimeras?

The gathered monsters looked at each other, unsure if this could be considered good news or not…
