Ember Dragon

"Crack!"

The dragon beast's thick scales shattered in an instant, and blood and flesh flew everywhere. The ferocious head was split in the middle, and the boiling dragon blood splashed all over Steel Frenzy's face.

But Iron Frenzy was getting more and more excited. He didn't care at all. He wiped the blood off his face and shouted angrily: "Blood sacrifice to the Blood God, skull to the Skull Throne!"

Even the dragon beasts that were coming at him aggressively were frightened by his aura. They stopped for a moment and looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.

But it was this moment of hesitation that gave Iron Frenzy the opportunity to attack from a distance. He raised the bolter of an exaggeratedly large caliber, laughed wildly, and pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

The thunderous sound of gunfire resounded through the sky, deafening.

The air exploded, smoke rose, and the sharp bullets exploded and sprayed out a metal storm before hitting the dragon beast. The dragon beast's scales and skin were instantly torn apart by the shotgun, and even its internal organs were shot into a mess.

"Ow—"

Followed by a miserable howl and a heavy roar, the unfortunate dragon beast fell to the ground and lost its life.

Behind the Iron Tide, without the dragon beasts' attack, Adrian was able to let go and fight the adult green dragon without any worries.

Facing the swooping green dragon, Adrian glared angrily. A slowly rotating sun appeared in his pupils, emitting dazzling light.

The green dragon was subconsciously startled, closed its eyes in the dazzling light, and waved its claws wildly towards Adrian.

But Adrian was not flustered. He found the right opportunity and swung his sword cleanly and efficiently. The tip of the sword drew a gorgeous semicircular arc in the air.

"Shh-"

First there was a crisp sound, followed by a painful howl, and a golden thread seemed to appear on the green dragon's wrist.

The next moment, the huge claw fell and was cut along the "silk thread". The cut surface was smooth and flat, and the bright red flesh and white bones were exposed.

Adrian actually cut off the green dragon's right claw with just one sword!
The green dragon flapped its wings frantically, and fled into the air in astonishment, shouting, "Human, how dare you—"

However, Adrian ignored it and suddenly jumped hundreds of meters high. A pair of golden wings appeared behind him, like an angel descending to the earth.

He raised his sword and used all his strength to stab the green dragon's chest with terrifying kinetic energy. An extremely dazzling flame was released from his sword, forming a more than ten-meter-long sword of the sun god in mid-air.

"For the Lord of Eternal Glory—"

With an angry battle cry, the golden sword pierced the green dragon's chest, went through his heart, and came out from behind through the scaly skin.

The green dragon raised its head high and let out a heart-wrenching howl. Then it suddenly fell from the sky, smashed into a nearby hill, and was nailed to the ground by the golden lightsaber.

He was dying, spitting blood, and raised his head with great effort, saying intermittently: "Human. His Majesty Tiamat will never let go."

"Pathetic monster." Adrian sneered and was about to step forward to kill it with his own hands when a black shadow suddenly jumped out from the distance.

"Buzz——"

The high-speed rotating chainsaw sword swung in the air, cutting off the green dragon's slender neck cleanly.

Iron Frenzy searched the green dragon's body excitedly, and turned to look at Adrian, saying indignantly:
"Lord Adrian, this beast is not worthy of your personal actions. I will put an end to him for you!"

"Thank you very much."

Adrian looked at the excited Steel Frenzy, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly, a little confused.

For some reason, this group of undead from the north always has a strange obsession with killing people, and they will even fight for the "priority of killing the enemy."

He shook his head, stopped thinking about those trivial matters, brandished his sword again, and threw himself into the bloody battlefield.

Iron Frenzy looked at Adrian who was walking away, and then saw the words "You killed an adult green dragon" refreshed on the system panel. He suddenly felt ecstatic and his eyebrows danced with joy.

"This guy is not an NPC, he is simply my reborn godfather. Please accept my greetings!" Iron Frenzy muttered to himself, and then followed him without hesitation, picking up the heads that Adrian missed.

After experiencing the fierce spell bombardment of the Church of the Dragon, the players regrouped and joined the front line of the battlefield.

"boom--"

The roar of whistles and the sound of tracks rolling over the ground came from behind. Hundreds of steam tanks came rushing over with billowing steam and smoke, causing the ground to tremble. Their momentum was no less than that of a group of dragons.

"What, what is that? A monster made of steel?"

"What a terrifying sound!"

Duke Franz raised his great sword and shouted, "Get out of the way! That's our ally!"

Hearing this, the soldiers of the human army moved aside one after another, leaving a wide path for the steam tank army so that it could gallop through.

Among the dragons in the distance, on the towering back of a forest land dragon, an evil dragon priest had a gloomy expression.

"Damn, it's those weird creatures again"

He raised his scepter and shouted hoarsely, "Crush them! They are just empty shells made by humans. They are vulnerable to the power of dragon blood!"

The dragon beasts roared and rushed towards the steam tank cluster without fear.

However, the next moment, the roar of artillery fire drowned out the dragon's roar and overwhelmed the orders of the evil dragon priest. Flames and thick smoke burst out from the thick gun barrels almost at the same time.

"boom!"

A violent explosion occurred among the dragon group, instantly killing several dragon beasts in the center of the explosion range. The evil dragon priest was directly blown away and turned into a charred corpse.

More dragon beasts were affected by the aftermath of the explosion or hit by shrapnel, becoming covered in wounds and dying.

However, the Empire's steam tanks took advantage of this opportunity to launch a charge, directly ramming and crushing the dragon beasts. No matter how strong the dragon beasts were, they were just flesh and blood, and were completely vulnerable in front of the steel car body.

The steam tank's tracks rolled over, leaving only blood and broken body parts on the ground.

At the same time, under the control of the Mechanicus players, more than a dozen arcane armors walked quickly from a distance, continuously bombarding the dragon group with energy cannons, and swung the several-meter-long power swords in their hands, instantly splitting the thick-skinned dragon beasts in half.

But the Dragon Worship Church was not completely powerless to fight back. Those mountain-like dragon-blood colossi, controlled by the cultists, rushed over and collided with the steam tanks and arcane armor.

They can also spit deadly acid breath, enough to corrode steel armor and kill weak pilots.

And those ordinary players are also fighting with cultists and dragon beasts in their own ways.

"Kill!"

"For the Empire!"

"Long live the Burning Empire!" Warriors brandished their swords and charged into the enemy camp. Mages raised their wands and cast spells. Thieves lurked in the dark and shot arrows. There were even new players who were desperate enough to tie explosive packs to themselves and rushed into the cultists' camp, turning into human bombs.

Moreover, there are a huge number of players, hundreds of thousands of them have accepted this war mission. What's more terrifying is that they are immortal and can be resurrected in Green Valley Town after a short cooldown.

Even though the dragon beasts were extremely violent and numerous, they were still drowned in the vast ocean of players, unable to break through the defense line, and were even treated as prey by the players.

It is common to see a scene like this: a strong guard dragon beast is surrounded by hundreds of players, its body covered with dense arrows, pierced like a hedgehog, letting out a painful howl, and finally collapses and dies from excessive blood loss.

The players cheered and pounced on the corpses, looting them like hungry wolves, not even leaving out the bones.

"material!"

"Don't grab them! These dragon skins are mine!"

In this way, the human legion and player troops continued to hunt dragon beasts, advancing rapidly, and soon approached Linying City.

On the tall city wall in the distance, Ulrichia's face was full of gloom and grim: "Damn the Imperials. We must get rid of those troublesome guys."

She slowly closed her eyes, her expression suddenly changed, and an irrepressible anger appeared on her face: "Why, why is the number of altars still decreasing! What on earth is that loser Grutar doing?"

Under the Linying City, the dragon breeding ground.

Singo was standing in front of the smashed altar, holding a loud speaker and speaking to the thousands of ragged civilians holding guns in front of him: "Pick up your guns and live!"

The lingering sound echoed in the dark cave, back and forth several times, for a long time.

"Stay alive!" The woman who had been rescued earlier stood at the front, holding a rifle, with a firm tone.

These brief words spread quickly like a plague, first to a few people nearby, then to hundreds of people, and finally to almost everyone present who shouted.

"Live! Live!"

"Ow—"

A loud roar was heard, and dense groups of pseudo-dragons and sub-dragons flapped their wings and poured out one after another from the depths of the cave.

Mantou shot the pseudo-dragon in the front to death with an arrow and shouted, "Don't be afraid! They are also flesh and blood. These dragon beasts can also be killed!"

People loaded ammunition, aimed their guns and pulled the trigger according to Singo's instructions.

"boom!"

"Bang! Bang!"

The sound of gunfire echoed in the cave. Although the people's movements were not skillful, the dense bullets still shot down many dragon beasts, causing them to fall to the ground wailing.

But even so, there were still dragon beasts that penetrated the dense bullets and swooped into the crowd, causing screams.

But then a thin man in the crowd suddenly swelled up, and his tattered clothes burst into pieces. In an instant, he turned into a six-meter-tall, muscular bald monk. He jumped into the air and smashed out with fists carrying strong winds like raindrops.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

At the same time, he was still shouting: "You bold monster, you are seeking death!"

Under this violent and heavy punch, blood splattered and the dragon beasts were directly beaten into minced meat.

Mantou's eyes widened, and he stammered, "Dawei Tianlong? How did he get in?"

"And us!"

There were crisp sounds, and more than a dozen men in the crowd also collided with each other. Their clothes burst open, revealing their muscular bodies. Their bald heads were shining, and the surface seemed to be coated with a layer of gold powder.

——They are none other than the famous Eighteen Arhats of the Shaolin Temple Guild.

The eighteen monks rushed into the group of dragon beasts, punching and kicking them, making them bleed and flee in panic.

Mantou was even more surprised: "Damn, so many people?"

Singo said: "There must be a lot of players who have figured out how to sneak into Linying City. There are probably quite a few players among these sacrifices."

Sure enough, as the riot progressed, more and more players revealed their identities, including warriors, mages, thieves, and paladins, all of whom used their own abilities to sneak in.

Even Langli Baitiao mixed in by disguising himself as a refugee, showing his mean face and saying righteously: "Alang, I'm here to avenge you!"

At this moment, a furious roar was heard from afar: "Humans - how dare you damage the altar of Her Majesty Tiamat! You will be punished most cruelly by God!"

Everyone looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a huge green dragon flapping its wings, flying towards them from a distance with a bloody wind, and it was coming with great momentum.

——This is the middle-aged green dragon Grutar.

"God."

"Shoot! Shoot!"

The civilians hurriedly raised their guns, aimed at the green dragon in the sky, pulled the trigger, and bullets whizzed out.

But the scales of a mature green dragon are hard and thick, and ordinary bullets cannot penetrate them at all, leaving only a shallow white mark.

The green dragon simply spit out acid, causing more than a dozen people to melt in the acid while screaming, turning into broken skeletons.

Grutal approached calmly and sneered, "Is this what you rely on? Some simple little toys? How pathetic!"

"You will soon realize that all your struggles are useless in the face of Tiamat's power!!"

The mature green dragon spread its wings, roared to the sky, and released its majestic dragon power.

But the next moment, an arrow shot into his throat with a piercing scream, and then suddenly exploded with a deafening sound.

"boom!"

Grutar was blown to pieces. He looked towards the source of the arrow in anger, only to see Singo holding a longbow and looking at him fearlessly.

"Do you still recognize me?"

"You are the follower of the guy who dared to deceive me! Run away as much as you can, I will catch you one by one and tear you all into pieces!" Grutar's face became ferocious.

A mature green dragon is an extremely powerful enemy with a challenge level of 15-16. It is already a monster close to legend and can even destroy a small town with ease.

But for current players, Grutal is not invincible. After all, players of the Mechanicus can already kill the Ancient Green Dragon.

Singo looked around at the dozens of elite players with unique skills, grinned coldly, and said in a calm tone: "Who will chase and who will flee - it's still uncertain!" (End of this chapter)
