I became the old one

Chapter 43
The scarlet tide lapped on the shore, leaving behind a trail of blood-colored foam.

Countless fragmented corpses were randomly scattered on the shore and in the tide... Although these corpses were swollen and mutilated, one could still see the dragonborn scales and the deformed tentacles of the deep divers.

After fighting all night.

Finally ushered in a moment of respite and rest.

Warm sunshine, sprinkled from the sky, dawn finally arrived.

Donez was bathed in the light of dawn, but felt cold all over his body, panting heavily, with edematous wounds all over his body, from the initial severe pain to the current numbness.

Hallucinations had already appeared in front of Donez.

dizzy.

He was exhausted, and now he was on the verge of his limit, but looking at the remaining dragonborn soldiers around him, Donez kept telling himself to persevere.

"Everything...is a test for me from the gods."

"Put yourself in the shoes and think about what choice father Adam would make if he were in such an environment."

Donez murmured in his heart, cheering himself up. After a few minutes, Donez felt his physical strength recovered a little bit.

He opened his mouth, looked towards his sister, and called, "Hispania, tell me, how many fighters are left now..."

Hispania staggered to Donez's side.

Handing a baked Tentacle of the Deep Diver to Donez, her face was also full of exhaustion, but she still replied seriously: "The situation is very bad, there are less than [-] dragon descendants left."

"Also, the sea level is still rising..."

Hear my sister's words.

Donez looked around, only to realize that the forest highland originally occupied by the dragon descendants had unknowingly turned into an isolated island in the ocean.

They are already surrounded by sea water.

A large number of dragonborn died in the war, and the remaining dragonborn were wounded and exhausted.

"We have to be ready to break out," Hispania said. "I'll cover you, like always."

"No!"

Donez declined.

He understood his sister's thoughts, and wanted to let himself lead a small number of dragonborn to break out of the encirclement, while Hispania led the remaining dragonborn to attract attention and create conditions for Donez.

Although Donez is exhausted now, after hearing his sister's words, he still couldn't help lowering his voice and roaring angrily: "Don't make such jokes with me anymore, I am your brother, yes Children of the king, how can I leave my family and soldiers here and escape alone!"

"It is precisely because you are the king's child that you should live even more."

Hispania looked into his brother's eyes without fear, and repeated: "Donez, this is not the time for you to be willful."

"This is not a sudden incident, but a long-planned action. The monsters in the deep sea want to invade the land given to us by the gods, and now only you can reunite the tribe and the city."

"No, I did something wrong and am no longer qualified to lead my people."

Donez's face was gray, panting: "But, Hispania, you still have a chance, you and I have the same blood..."

Boom!

Donez didn't have time to finish his sentence.

In the next moment, a huge explosion sound came from the sea.

Water splashes.

A huge armored dragon turtle emerged from the blood-stained pink water. The monster was nearly [-] meters long, like a shield dragon magnified countless times. With dense spikes and tentacles, turquoise moss grows vertically and horizontally on the monster's huge body, giving it a trace of ancient atmosphere.

"It's a super giant sea monster!"

Donez's pupils shrank suddenly, he got up from the ground, and held the Grania long knife beside him in his hand.

As soon as the super giant dragon turtle appeared, it roared like a giant steamroller and rushed towards the isolated island where the dragon descendants were. The ground shook and the mountains shook along the way, the roar was deafening, and the ground set off layers of ripples like waves.

Those ancient trees hundreds of meters high were directly hit by the roots under the huge body weight of the giant dragon turtle, and fell to the ground amidst bursts of wailing, billowing smoke and dust.

Many dragonborn along the road are taking the time to rest.

Fight all night.

As a result, all the dragon descendants fell into exhaustion, and their reaction speed inevitably dropped a lot. Although they had already noticed that the dragon turtle was running towards the camp, there were still many dragon descendants who failed to dodge in time. The turtle's weight of tens of thousands of tons was directly crushed into a meat paste, which was mixed with the moist soil, making it difficult to distinguish each other.

"Damn it!"

A dragon-born warrior who can follow Donez for thousands of miles and come to the God-enlightened land regardless of hardships and dangers.

To Donez, each one is very precious, and they are his brothers and confidantes, but now seeing dozens of brothers die tragically at the hands of monsters, Donez's eyes instantly turned red.

Anger squeezed more strength out of his already exhausted muscles.

The flame streaks covering the scales light up accordingly.

Donez charged forward, and the long knife in his hand drew a perfect arc in midair.

The thick muscles of the dragon turtle could hardly resist the sharpness of the Grania weapon in Donez's hand, and it was easily cut open, leaving a long and narrow scar on the monster's neck.

Unfortunately.

The size of the dragon tortoise is too huge, although the more than ten meters long Grania weapon stabbed the monster's vitals.

But barely avoided the arteries in the neck.

Blood splashed out from the wound, staining the ground red. Under the severe pain, the super giant dragon turtle became even more angry, and began to rush back and forth among the crowd regardless of whether it was friend or foe.

"It's now!"

An alien deep diver wizard wore a hat, and his chin was covered with black wriggling tentacles.

He has a hunched figure and a gloomy temperament, but there are huge energy fluctuations rippling on his body. He jumped out of the water, landed on the hard carapace of the dragon turtle, and waved the scepter in his hand.

"Children, kill all the creatures on the land, and fill every corner of the world with the glory of my god."

"Roar!"

The alien wizard responded with roars one after another.

A huge deformed deep diver emerged from the depths of the ocean, followed by a huge and deformed body. Even Adam, who was more than 20 meters tall, felt a huge pressure.

Around these super-giant deep divers, there are countless ordinary deep diver soldiers.

The sea is constantly rising.

Obviously, in the unseen corners, there are powerful deep diver wizards lurking.

In an instant.

Dragonborn fell into a desperate situation, and the encirclement circle was completely formed.

Even in the heyday of this team, facing such a huge horde of monsters would not have any chance of winning.

What's more, the current team has already been exhausted, and there is no remaining fighting power.

Donez panicked for a moment.

But he quickly forcibly calmed down, and he kept repeating in his heart, thinking about it for a split second... If my father was here and faced with the same situation, what choice would he make! ?
Boom!

It was as if thunder had exploded from the sky, dark clouds rolled and gathered, and strong winds howled from the west.

Between lightning and thunder.

Donez already has a decision.

Holding the Grania long knife in his hand, he stood in front of his sister with a tall figure, and said in an undeniable tone: "Hispania, leave the battlefield! I will protect you!"

The dark tide, the huge and ferocious sea monster, the giant deep diver emerging from the dark deep sea...all were blocked in front of Hispania by a tall figure.

She froze for a moment.

In a trance, Donez's back and Adam's back seemed to gradually overlap.
