Attacking the camp of the ogres was undoubtedly very dangerous. But the benefits were colossal.
Being able to gain a firm and stable rule was already an immense reward, not to mention the ogres often had many collections. Things that the dragon did not fancy might not necessarily be worthless to Baron Dahl.
And if he could capture these ogres alive, whether for the purpose of training them to become soldiers or for the purpose of selling them away, either could bring great benefits.
If it was the former, so long as he had tamed two or three ogre soldiers, Baron Dahl would have the guts to make a move on the other lords around him and expand his sphere of influence. If it was the latter, at least he was able to earn a large sum of money. He could even make use of this opportunity to establish good relations with some forces that he had long wanted to get connected with.
