Lorug was quite confident in using the Red Dragon.
He believed in the dragon's wisdom, smarter than most creatures, of course smarter than the orcs too, but dragons also had their shortcomings such as arrogance and greed. By skillfully exploiting these weaknesses, it was easy to manipulate the dragon. The problem was that once the dragon realized it, one had to face the dragon's fury, something few could ignore.
"Respected... Red Dragon." Lorug wasn't good at honorifics, and he couldn't apply the honorifics used for gods to the Red Dragon, "What do you want with us?"
"Submit to me." Leon sized up the orc, thinking he was about on the level of that cultist from the Gnolls Warband, "I've already said so."
"Why us?" Lorug continued to ask.
Leon, possessing a human soul, had some conscience. He felt he shouldn't betray the goblin, and said: "I just saw you... I think you are worthy to submit to me."
"What do you need us for?" Lorug asked, "If we were to submit to you, that is."
