Sir Selddup stood in the air with Ashley atop his back. To be precise, the large dog was standing on four translucent birds that looked suspiciously like pigeons, and the birds were doing their best to keep the Light Lord and her dog airborne as they scanned the ground below. Ashley frowned, her eyes unable to be seen thanks to the binoculars pressed against her face. I think we found them.
About time, Sir Selddup said and squinted at the ground. They look delicious, dont they?
Ashley peered through her binoculars, focusing on one of the insects on the ground. It was black and purple with pure eight pure-white eyes on its head. It had six legs, two mandibles, and three sections, reminding the Light Lord of a giant ant. What part of that looks delicious?
You dont see it? Sir Selddup asked. I bet they taste like lobsters. Drool leaked out of the white dogs mouth before falling from the sky and hitting the ground like rain. Theyre so fat too. Just thinking about how plump their leg meat could be is making my stomach growl.
Ive heard your stomach growl when someone mentioned chicken feces before, Ashley said, lowering her binoculars and making eye contact with her dog. A furrow appeared on her brow as the insects on the ground swarmed towards their direction. I think they smelled your drool.
Sir Selddup smacked his lips together. Are you sure they can even smell? It doesnt look like they have noses, the white dog said before looking at the birds underneath his feet. He barked. Lets get a move on. Make sure you remember to tell Vur you found them.
I already did, Ashley said, sinking down into her comfortable seat, which was her dogs back. He had the tower send some items into my root bracelet. Were going to open a barrel of insect gold and attract these bugs to the tower.
Volearden stood on his hindlegs, looking over the dozens of dragons waiting before him. There might not have been as many dragons as phoenixes, but they still took up almost the same amount of space. Voleardens armor swirled with colors before turning into a bright red. Its about time we end the fight between dragons and phoenixes. How long has it been since youve last slept peacefully for as long as you wanted? I know its been hard for us to get good sleep with the phoenixes always waiting for us to drop our guard.
The other dragons murmured and nodded their heads in agreement.
Alright, Volearden said. We dont need a morale-boosting speech. Our tower is going to coordinate with us by attacking the other tower and sending us straight into a cavern with lots of tunnels.
Tunnels? one dragon asked and raised its front paw. Why are we going to the tunnels? Wouldnt the tiny phoenixes have the advantage in there? I dont know about anyone else, but I dont fly very well underground.
Were going there to ambush the phoenixes, Volearden said. Fern leaked some information to them, so theyre going to set up an ambush there.
Hows that going to work? another dragon asked. If both sides are setting an ambush in the same spot, wont there just be a regular conflict?
It works by moving your butts, Volearden said. We have to get there before the phoenixes do, so we can ambush them before they can ambush us. Lets go.
