Chapter 650 Hungry Dragon!

"The visitor is evil!"

The people of Kasuga Castle are not blind.

When they saw the group of dark, frightening-looking dragons charging towards them without a word, gasps of alarm immediately rang out from the crowd.

The scene before you is no less than a huge, dark cloud crashing down on you, giving you a sense of fear that the sky is falling!

Anything associated with black is bound to be bad; this is an experience that people have learned over a long period of time.

Then people shouted, "Magic shield!"

Kasuga Castle was originally a city with rather old buildings and outdated defensive facilities, so it never thought it would be invaded.

However, a few months ago, Kasuga Castle was invaded by a group of demons who looked like frog heads, causing considerable casualties. If it weren't for the divine intervention of the guardians of Fran, Kasuga Castle might have been truly occupied by the demons.

After that, the city lord was so stimulated that he emptied his coffers to completely renovate Spring City. He even installed demon detectors that he had previously been reluctant to install, and constantly updated the city's defense equipment, using whatever was available.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was preparing to go to war with the neighboring city of Bedford.

Although the military equipment of Spring City has never been used since its upgrade, there has never been another demon invasion.

But now look what the dragon has come!

Fortunately, the protective shields in the city are always staffed, and can be opened anytime, anywhere.

So now is the perfect time to test the defensive capabilities of our Kasuga Castle!

The lord of Kasuga Castle, who was strolling around the city, looked excited and hurriedly ordered the people around him, "Quickly, quickly, prepare to attack—I mean, defend!"

The magical shield of Spring City rose almost instantly. Just like the name of the city, the green magical shield formed a semi-circular shield that was commonly perceived to cover the city. A continuous stream of magic power rose from the city to support the shield. This thing really looked quite impressive!
The local city lord commissioned a highly skilled individual from the Magic Association to design it; it definitely looks like a high-quality item.

At the same time, the warehouse was pushed open by a group of guards, and one carriage after another emerged from the warehouse, carrying city defense weapons. What was even more eye-catching was that there was a giant pea shooter on it, its surface covered with dense alchemical runes, clearly transformed into a weapon.

The people in this world are really good at utilizing the resources of the dungeons.

Residents near the city wall were evacuated by the guards immediately. A bunch of city defense items, some understandable and some not, rose up from the ground near the city wall, dazzling people. Even the current city of Bed City probably didn't come up with so many fancy things.

With the help of these items, Kasuga Castle was transformed in an instant into a heavily guarded and well-defended fortress!

"Come on, you evil dragons, let this city lord see what you're capable of!"

Lord Kasuga made what was perhaps the most confident shout of his life.

"Something feels off."

"Where did those dragons come from? I've never seen them before, and they seem very ferocious."

"Didn't Abe tell us to hide?"

The two-legged dragons that had emerged near the Cangyin Underground City portal looked at each other, then glanced at the approaching black dragon horde. Sensing the violent aura emanating from them, they all shivered and turned back into the portal.

Since Fudolin said they could hide in the dungeon, they decided to give it a try. After all, they wouldn't run into the black dragons when they tried to enter the dungeon to find them again.

They didn't want to confront these dark, strange creatures head-on.

Just as the Twin-Legged Dragon Gate retracted into the underground city, the "black dragons" on the horizon had already rushed to the front of Kasuga Castle.

Unlike the usual roars of "howl" or "roar," they opened their mouths and emitted sharp hisses, resembling terrifying monsters rather than dragons.

The implications of their invasion of Kasuga Castle are obvious; these guys are undoubtedly the enemy!

"fire!"

At the Lord of Spring's command, the city defense cannons, which had been moved to the side of the city wall and were already aimed at the black dragon horde, were instantly activated. A series of fires erupted with "boom boom boom," and various enchanted cannonballs hurled at the dragon horde. Each cannonball even exploded in mid-air into countless smaller and denser cannonballs.

The explosions sent flames soaring into the sky, and the smoke obscured the heavens! These shells hit the dragons squarely!
The smoke from the explosion instantly covered nearly half of the dark cloud formed by the black dragons!
"Good!" Lord Chunri cheered, feeling a sense of exhilaration like when he used magic scrolls to blast fish as a child. He couldn't wait to see the black dragons hit by the cannonballs fall belly-up from the sky.

"Gah-"

A bizarre and piercing screech tore through the smoke from the explosion in an instant, and hundreds of dragons flapped their wings simultaneously, creating hurricanes that swept away the smoke in a flash.

Lord Kasuga glanced through the binoculars, his smile instantly freezing on his face, and he said in a trembling voice:
"How is this possible? He looks completely unharmed?"

Faced with something both unexpected and yet entirely reasonable, Lord Kasuga's reaction was...
"Great! Now we can fire without any worries! All of you, charge!"

With his command, the surrounding soldiers revealed bloodthirsty, indifferent smiles. More cannons were transported up the city wall, and all of them instantly transformed, disintegrated, reassembled, and preheated. The cannons, which originally looked ordinary, were now war weapons flashing with magical runes and overflowing with terror.

"fire!!!"

The multiple magical runes on the cannon lit up in layers, and after a pause of about two or three seconds, they fired cannonballs containing a high concentration of magic power in unison. The magic cannonballs, which almost covered the sky, trailed flames and crashed into the black dragon horde like streaks of azure meteors.

The modified Peashooter even unleashed a super giant pea, which was particularly eye-catching among the meteors.

The scene was spectacular; it was unbelievable that a count could put on such a show. Even in Bed City, one could see this!
With such a large-scale bombardment, the bipedal dragons hiding in the Cangyin Underground City would certainly be injured, and those who were unlucky might even suffer serious injuries. It would probably also have an effect on the black dragon horde.

Therefore, this time those black dragons do not intend to remain silent any longer; only a fool would take an attack head-on for no reason.

As the dragons were about to collide with the meteor shower of magical projectiles, they all opened their mouths wide and let out a silent roar.

The next moment, all sorts of breaths gathered in his mouth and were sprayed out simultaneously with precision down to the second. No matter what color the breath was, it was inevitably stained black the moment it was expelled.

"boom--"

The breath and the shell collided, and thick clouds burst out of the sky.

"How's the situation? Did they take them down?"

People quickly used binoculars to observe the situation over there.

However, according to the "no harm in smoke" principle, what happens next is...
A giant claw, seemingly made of melted asphalt, broke through the smoke; this single claw was worth seven or eight black dragons!

When did such a gigantic entity appear?!

With its claws tearing through the smoke, the ferocious dragon head, which was also like melting asphalt and constantly writhing, roared to the sky. Its size actually surpassed that of the Mad Dragon that attacked the capital!
Has the Dragon Clan become so fiercely competitive?
Only then did people realize that the enormous black dragon contained the previous herd of dragons; this dragon was actually formed by the combination of the herd!
You can't see the damage at all like this!

Before the Lord of Spring City could even exclaim in surprise why the weapon array he had painstakingly created at great expense seemed useless, in the blink of an eye, a giant dragon appeared in front of Spring City, right next to the magic shield.

A massive shadow fell down, and the constantly melting and reassembling jet-black wings obscured the sun and the sky. Only the whites of the eyes seemed to be staring at the crowd, yet also looking elsewhere, completely devoid of any of the emotions one would expect from a living being.

"Gulp." Lord Kasuga's throat bobbed involuntarily.

Even inside the magical shield, he didn't feel safe at all. He was very panicked, extremely panicked. It was like when he was happily watching the fish through a transparent dome at an underwater aquarium, and suddenly a megalodon appeared next to him and stared straight at him.

No, given the current situation, it shouldn't be a megalodon but a mosasaur that's coming.

Before he could even utter the classic lines a cushion character would say, the entire magical shield of Kasuga Castle shattered in an instant!
The emerald green fragments fell like snowflakes, symbolizing the annihilation of the Spring City Lord's funds.

"What happened! What did he do?!"

It was impossible to see what the dragon had done to break the magic shield; to everyone, it looked as if it had just stood there and watched for a while before breaking the shield!
"We're doomed! Run!" One of the guards screamed in terror. The men, who had been so bloodthirsty just moments before, scattered and fled the moment the protective shield broke. Shouldn't such an act that undermines morale on the battlefield be punished with execution?

What? Lord Kasuga has run away too? Then it's alright.

"Everyone, run together!"

It seemed as if the people of Spring City had prepared an emergency plan long ago. No sooner had they decided to run than they opened the city gates to escape. There was even a magic circle at the city gate that could speed up people's escape!

The dragon stared at the humans who were scattering like ants. He was like a world-destroying demon god. Just standing there, he brought an immense sense of oppression. No one could guess what he would do next.

However, after watching for a while, the fused dragon turned around, its huge head shaking as if searching for something, showing no regard for humans.

If I'm not mistaken, he's looking for those bipedal dragons. The aura of dragons still lingers in the vicinity, and it's this aura that has drawn him here.

Whatever he wants to do, once the bipedal dragon hiding in the Cangyin Underground City is found, nothing good will happen.

The bipedal dragons hidden in the underground city seemed to sense something, and they all huddled together, trembling, without even the courage to raise their heads.

Even though I'm in an underground city, I feel completely unsafe and don't know when I'll be able to return to safety.

What exactly happened outside?

Although Hynes couldn't see what was happening outside, the dungeon could sense something incredibly powerful and terrifying in the outside world. Whether it was a living being or not was extremely unclear in the dungeon's perception, and it was impossible to determine.

Even across an underground city, the aura was so terrifying that she couldn't help but tremble.

"Lord Godwin, save him! Save him!"

In Spring City, the dragon has begun to stir.

Not sensing what he was looking for for a long time, the dragon visibly became agitated, its entire body convulsing strangely. Its large and small dragon heads broke through its body to breathe in the outside air, and its entire giant body showed signs of disintegrating.

"Oh no, that dragon is about to go berserk!"

The fleeing people cried out in alarm. The thought of their life's savings being destroyed filled them with immense grief. They ran away crying, their faces contorted with sorrow.

"Ow!"

The dragon finally let out a normal roar, raised its giant claws to attack, and the people screamed in response.

One claw strike, and the earth trembles. The second claw strike, and the earth shatters. The third claw strike, and the soil flies everywhere!

The dragon opened its abyss maw to its limit, swallowing the collapsed city walls, the flying mud, and all sorts of giant vegetables and fruits growing in the mud!

Boom boom boom, eat eat eat! Greed gleamed in the dragon's eyes. Today he would devour everything!
He circled Spring City almost in a dragon-cart, leaving no farmland unscathed. Not only were all the vegetables gone, but a large amount of soil was also devoured!

This is truly a vicious and wicked dragon!
The people who were just running away were dumbfounded, staring blankly as the ominous dragon devoured the fruits of their labor, completely ignoring the city and not even bothering to enter.

The crops are gone and the city walls have collapsed, but it doesn't seem like the losses are that significant.

What exactly does this giant dragon want to do?
If Luluwo were here, she would be confused, because the way this dragon was eating reminded her of Fudolin; their eating habits were remarkably similar.

Just then, a series of wolf howls came from afar; the Fran guards were coming to provide support!

Since Bede City is not far from Spring City, and the dragon horde had made such a big commotion earlier, it was perfectly reasonable for Dar and the others to come and provide support.

Even when facing this dragon, neither the Faran guards nor the giant wolf beneath them felt any fear.

It's hard to say whether this dragon or the original Elifis is more imposing, but having witnessed too many top-tier powers, they are now worldly-wise. Even if the mad dragon were here now, they would still charge forward without hesitation.

The fighting spirit of the Fran guards was like a sharp sword piercing the sky.

The dragon, who was enjoying its meal, naturally noticed them.

He looked around Spring City and saw that he had eaten all the food he could find. He could no longer find the dragon's aura that he had sensed earlier. It seemed that there was no point in staying here any longer. Fighting those little people riding wolves was also a thankless task. He still had things to do.

"Ow!"

The dragon roared, and its massive body instantly disintegrated, releasing one black dragon after another. The dragon vanished in the blink of an eye, and the dark cloud formed by the black dragons ignored the guards of Fran and flew away into the distance without even looking back.

They also captured the giant pea shooters that had been modified into weapons, presumably to use as food supplies for the journey.

"stop."

Dahl, who was at the forefront of the Faran guards, raised his hand and stopped everyone's attack. The most important thing right now was to protect the locals, not to fight the dragons. If they really fought, the surrounding area would probably be reduced to ruins, and their side would suffer heavy casualties.

"Go into the city to check the situation and help the injured."

Under his command, the guards of Fran dispersed and carried out disaster relief activities in an orderly manner. Judging from their skillful movements, this was probably not the first time they had done this.

They searched far and wide for traces of demons, and along the way dealt with demonic disasters they encountered in the places they passed through. They have developed considerable disaster relief capabilities, and now they can't find many demons anymore. The Faran Guards, who help with disaster relief in the local areas, have become the object of praise and admiration in various places.

When the group rode their wolves into the city, they discovered the sheer number of wounded.
Surprisingly few.

The most seriously injured was a farmer who fainted from shock upon seeing his farmland destroyed, and then hit the back of his head on a rock, bleeding profusely. Apart from that, there were also some unlucky people who were hit by the flying debris when the city wall collapsed.

However, although there were no casualties, this does not mean that the group of black dragons were benevolent.

Where did these guys come from?

Dar frowned as he watched the dark clouds drift away.

"The direction they flew in seems to be the land of warriors?"

It might have been just a coincidence, but he felt he still had an obligation to inform the other country.

In any case, Kasuga Castle suffered an undeserved disaster today.

The damage caused by the dragon today will probably take quite some time to recover. As for the destroyed farmland, it is estimated that people will enter the Azure Dungeon more frequently, and Heines will soon see a surge in visitors.

While the guards of Fran were providing disaster relief in Spring City, a flock of black dragons flew towards the Warrior Kingdom. Fudolin and Abe rushed back to report the news.

At the same moment during these times, in the warrior kingdom, in the imperial capital.

The flames of war are gradually fading, and today's war festival has come to an end. Tomorrow will be the final battle, and the ultimate champion will be decided tomorrow.

As dusk settled, with no further activities planned, the audience should head back for dinner and rest.

But now, instead of leaving, even more people are gathering here, and the noise is everywhere, making the area look like a bustling marketplace.

The reason for this situation is that several masters of magic began their confrontation today ahead of schedule.

"Eunka, it's time to pay the copyright fees."

Professor Tulsi, the magic professor, waved her hand and summoned a long list of documents.

Eunka's expression remained hidden beneath the luminous stone dome, and he remained silent for a long time.
