I'm a dragon, I only want to steal princesses

Chapter 344 The Origin of the Giant

Endless Tower, study.

"Dead?" Ganon confirmed the news to Anya.

Anya nodded solemnly.

Just now, one of their spies who went deep into the imperial military died in an attack by the ancient black dragon Gale Sloan on the imperial base.

"If we decide to lure Dragon Ascension's Nest there, we should let her withdraw." Ganon made a regretful voice.

He knew the value of this spy very well. It was an important chess piece in the spy network set up by Anya, and they poured resources into the enemy's interior. Her death was a big loss in their intelligence war.

"She can't evacuate at all. Once the empire's research and development base enters, it will be difficult to escape. If you escape casually, it may expose our intelligence. And you can't expect Dragon Ascension's Nest to cooperate with our actions, right? We can only say that this offensive It was so dangerous that she didn't have time to escape in the chaos, and... something unexpected happened."

Anya stared into Ganon's eyes and reported to Ganon the last important information the spy saw - the giant with the artifact and the battle with the ancient black dragon.

It can be said that part of the reason why the spies did not evacuate early was because they saw the giant.

In order to gather more information about the battle between the giants and the ancient black dragons, she postponed the opportunity to evacuate, stayed at the battle scene to observe the entire battle, and used remote communication to report to Anya, until the terrible acid mist came and she could never see her again. opportunity to escape.

"Titan..." Ganon's eyes turned gloomy after hearing the information.

Creatures like giants exist almost exclusively in ancient legends and some rare observation records on this continent.

But in legend, this is a legendary creature that can rival dragons, angels and demons.

The empire unexpectedly recruited a giant as an ally from nowhere, and this giant held an artifact and had the power to suppress an ancient dragon.

He was now focused on how to deal with the empire's new weapon airship, and the empire suddenly pulled out such a monster-level trump card, which caught him somewhat off guard.

The only good news is that the plan to lead the Dragon Ascension Nest to attack the empire has finally achieved results. The ancient black dragon exploded the largest airship the empire was building, and at the Dragon Ascension Nest, the ancient black dragon lost a forearm.

"How much do you know about giants? Where did the Empire find such a giant?" Ganon asked Anya tentatively.

"We only seek information that is useful to us. Who knows about such a rare and rare species?" Anya shrugged.

"My lord, I know this to a certain extent." Baphomet's voice suddenly sounded in the study.

Then, a butler golem appeared from the floor of the study.

"It's really rare for you to take the initiative to say what you know." Ganouen joked.

In his impression, the butler golem would not take the initiative to answer questions without asking her, and many times he would only get a "I'm sorry" when he asked.

"You are too harsh on a person who has lost his memory, and this time I said that I knew it. You are destroying the enthusiasm of your subordinates." Baphomet rarely raised his dissatisfaction.

"Okay, let's talk about it then." Ganon waved his hand.

"The giants are a dependent race created directly by the God of War, just like angels are to the sun god and demons are to the lord of the abyss. In the era when the gods were fighting, they were also active on the main continent. The giant tribe once occupied a large area of ​​land. The aggressive giants follow the teachings of the God of War and fight everywhere, posing a huge threat to other races. Even the giant dragons that roam the continent have to be afraid of the existence of giants." Baphomet explained.

"Then why are they gone now?" Ganon asked.

"The giants are not missing, but have been exiled. The current giant family has been exiled to the mainland across the Strait of Behemoths in the south, and has been imposed on the 'Oath to Stop the War'. This oath is a curse that is passed down through the blood. All The giants are prohibited from provoking disputes on the main continent, and are also prohibited from owning any land on this continent. This is the reason why giants are rare here." Baphomet replied.

"Then who banished them?" Ganon asked.

"It's their creator - the God of War." Baphomet answered seriously.

"Why? Aren't they the descendants of the God of War?" Ganon continued to ask.

"It's because of this place." Baphomet suddenly spread his hands widely. It took Ganon two seconds to understand what Baphomet meant, and his eyes widened in surprise: "You mean, because of the Endless Tower?"

He never thought that this matter could have anything to do with this tower.

"To be precise, it is related to the reason for the construction of the Endless Tower. When the gods reached an agreement to build this Endless Tower to prevent disasters, the initiator was the God of War. In order to get the other gods to agree to the agreement, the God of War agreed The conditions they proposed, in order to prevent the giants from bringing destruction to other races after the disappearance of the gods, he banished all the giants to the uncultivated continent and bound them with the oath of Zhige from generation to generation." Baphomet explained.

Ganon crossed his hands and nodded slightly: "So the Endless Tower was actually built at the suggestion of the God of War? Then what happened to this giant?"

"Either the Empire brought him from the continent where the giants were exiled, or he came to this continent for some reason and was hired by the Empire." Baphomet expressed his speculation.

"But didn't you say that they can't stir up disputes on this continent? According to the information obtained by Anya, this giant was the first to attack the ancient black dragon." Ganoun questioned.

"That means the artifact in his hand is probably not an ordinary thing... I think you must understand what I mean." Baphomet extended his two index fingers towards Ganonde in a very meaningful way.

Ganon looked at her for a moment and smiled knowingly - another artifact was delivered to her door.

But now, this development is actually reasonable.

His current strength has formed a threshold for all opponents who try to challenge him. If he didn't hold an artifact-level strategic weapon, it would be impossible to pose a threat to him.

If the empire wants to deal with him, it is only normal that it will use artifacts.

"However, this artifact is not given for free, my lord." Baphomet's tone became serious, "If I think correctly, the artifact held by the giant is probably a weapon built by the God of War for himself." The Hundred-Armed Giant'. Among all the supreme artifacts that host divinity, that is also the one that poses the greatest threat to you."

Ganon naturally also understood that from the information relayed by Anya, this artifact was a purely combat weapon. It could be said that all the points were added to the attack power, and it had the power to slay the ancient dragon.

If its power is so powerful that it can even be slightly better than other supreme artifacts... Ganon can't help but think of a rather disturbing possibility - maybe even the "guardian" power that he has always used as a life-saving talisman, They may not be able to completely prevent the full blow of this artifact.

"What conditions did the Imperial people use to convince this giant? Is there any chance that we can get him to do things for us by paying double the price?" Ganon thought while stroking his chin.

"We don't have access to that giant now. Maybe it would be more convenient to kill his employer?" Anya suddenly interjected, "Would you like to ask Angst to kill the queen?"

"The queen herself is a legend, not to mention that there is another legend beside her. Angost may not be able to kill her." Ganon shook his head.

Another gain this time was that Ganon was completely convinced that Fred was the legendary warlock, and Fred seemed to really possess an artifact that could open the door to the abyss.

"You're joking, Angst's temperament means it's impossible for her to agree." Anya shrugged.

Killing Fred in advance is an ideal development, but it is just an ideal. Playing away from home is accompanied by huge risks. If you accidentally fall into the siege of Fred, Lucio and the giant, He might pay the price like Gayle Sloan did.

And even if they really want to do it, their intelligence network is not deep enough. It is not easy to grasp the whereabouts of a head of state. Back then, just to kill a little Grand Duke of Xihe, they had to use Mora as bait.

"But the situation is not very optimistic now. The empire has not yet discovered the existence of the Dragon Ascension Nest, but it has begun to prepare intensively. It is obviously for you. Our spy died there, and the body may also reveal some information. . And the situation in Beishan Country... Oh, just thinking about it gives me a headache!" Anya held her head.

Ganon looked at Anya and laughed. In the past, Anya would not be so concerned about the safety of the Endless Tower and would only think about how to protect herself. But now she unknowingly has truly regarded herself as a member of the Endless Tower. Member.

But the situation is indeed serious. Although he imagined that the Dragon Ascension Nest and the Empire would fight and lose both sides. The Dragon Ascension Nest was completely under his guidance because he had intercepted its intelligence sources, but the Empire was not completely under his control.

Although it is not known whether Fred knew his relationship with this series of events, Fred had obviously made up his mind to operate on him first.

If the Beishan Kingdom also joins the war, and with this super giant, the Endless Tower will face an unprecedented offensive.

"My lord, there is some good news here for the time being." Seemingly sensing that the atmosphere was a bit solemn, Baphomet changed the subject, "Miss Mora and Miss Dolan Sloane are doing research in the workshop today. They have made great progress, and they are almost ready to create the design you want, and Miss Moura seems to have some new ideas..."

"Really?" Ganon was about to change his mind and stood up from his seat, "Then take me to have a look."
