I am a dragon! Help me! (TOME 4 of the TIAMAT'S WARS SERIE)

A scream in the night.

Vaillant knew the guns well, rediscovered recently a few months ago thanks to Dantinne.

And the 2 large calibers on the turret commanded respect. 2 shots were enough to spread the castle on the ground with its occupants.

He knew that Isolde never lied and saw with jealousy his friend, a potential, if not wife, a potential concubine...

He sighed and welcomed the dragon and the mentats that accompanied him.

Isolde also gave him a letter from his Ally Altus in ancient coded runic.

"Dear Valiant Friend, I hope you are well and that your father still manages to bear the weight of the ages.

If Isolde has given you this letter, like me, you have made the right decision to spare your people and your kingdom.

This infernal creature is perhaps also our salvation and it is our rampart against the arch-demon Tiamat. I am talking about the one who came aboard the red star, which was his vessel, a kind of ship of space and time. Her powers are immeasurable and nothing here in this world can stand up to her.

The dragon has an army that can crush us like a fly. I'm not talking about a simple army, but an army of extermination. It has even sent an expedition to the stars before our very eyes.

Obey it, but the fugitives could also be our allies and saviors. She is looking for George, the dragon lord who fled but he is physically stronger than her and in close combat. And the hydra she is chasing is Tiamat of this world, or what is left of it... She is friends with Baltes..."

Vaillant placed the scroll in a box near his throne and stood up.

"My troops and my network are at your disposal, General Tania."

She rolled her eyes in amazement at its title.

Then she withdrew.

Vaillant signaled to Isolde to accompany her to her private chambers behind the throne room through an almost secret door.

Tania, accompanied by pharotek, entered a room with wise men and knights.

She laid a satellite map on a large table.

"I need the areas where the dragons could potentially hide, the caves, caverns and subterranean, old ruins, also the testimonies and the last traces of Ignar the Madman. And other dragons and legends."

Pharotek planted his cane in the middle of the room and scanned all the written documents in a few moments.

This power of high-level mentoring was billions of times faster than the most powerful computer of today.

To their great surprise, a holographic view of the archives, notes was projected and an automatic decoding was set up in front of them. Then an automatic sorting of the data and by order of color and richness of information was thus sorted.

Servants came and went to take advantage of the projection to sort books, parchments and writings to have a useful base of information.

Tania spent the rest of the day sorting the real from the fake for her investigation.

And clues finally pushed her in the right direction.

One of the rules in intelligence was to always be one step ahead of your competitors. And, soon, her patience and perspicacity would pay off: Cut off the runaways...

"Isolde," said Vaillant.

"Don't tell me that you... with the dragon...??"

Isolde looked down...
