Bone King: Welcome the Birth of the King.

Chapter 478 A Cold Sacrifice: Fluder Takes Action

Tang Zheng chatted with Lana for so long in order to use Princess Lana's wisdom to help him further clarify the current ambiguous situation.

The purpose of the Platinum Dragon King is unclear.

This made him somewhat uneasy!

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need to stay any longer.

Get up and prepare to leave.

"Your Excellency Tang."

Princess Lana then stood up, placed her hands on her chest, and suddenly spoke:
“I believe that the purpose of reviewing the country is not limited to this one thing.”

Tang Zheng paused, looked at Princess Lana's beautiful face again, his gaze flickered, and he nodded to signal her to continue.

"……Maybe."

"The war between the kingdom and the empire is not only a test of the Slane Theocracy, but also a test of other unknown forces."

Upon hearing the word "unknown," Princess Lana glanced at Tang Zheng:
"In fact, this is just a way to attract attention; there are other covert operations underway."

Tang Zheng's pupils narrowed slightly.

He suddenly realized that he had indeed focused too much attention on the battlefield between kingdoms and empires!

…………

Three days passed in a flash.

Sheung Shui Month·January 31st!
On the battlefield at the border of the Kaz Plain, the air was filled with a distinct stench of blood, and the reddish-brown earth appeared even more vibrant under the stain of blood.

Broken arrows, spears, leather armor, and other weapons lay scattered haphazardly in the center of the battlefield between the two sides.

Three days!
The kingdom launched more than ten attacks, all of which were repelled by the empire.

The entire left-wing army suffered nearly 8000 casualties, and the actual number of casualties should have been even higher.

but.

The elite legion led by Renas and Gazef gathered the wounded from the battlefield and did their best to treat them, and about 2200 people survived!
The Kingdom's Headquarters.

"...free will"

Marquis Raven looked at the casualty report in his hand, raised his hands and lightly pressed his temples, his eyes filled with helplessness:
"I really don't know how to evaluate this. Was it a help, or did it make things worse?"

The soldiers received effective treatment and survived the battlefield, thanks to the Adventurers' Guild's initiative to sell "regeneration potions."

Affordable price and excellent results!
This allowed soldiers whose injuries were not too serious to survive.

Marquis Raven has already investigated and found that this large batch of drugs was entirely the work of "Free Will".

The timing of their appearance coincided perfectly with the time when the kingdom was mobilizing its troops!
Those stingy and greedy nobles were naturally unwilling to spend money on these ordinary soldiers, even if the price was only a few copper coins.

However, the Empire also developed a "regeneration potion"!
This is natural.

Adventurers' guilds are transnational organizations; if a kingdom's adventurers' guild can sell, then naturally an empire's adventurers' guild can too.

In comparison, to prevent unnecessary mutiny!

The nobles of the kingdom had no choice but to reluctantly spend money to buy "regeneration potions" from the Adventurers' Guild.

"Adventurers cannot interfere in wars between nations."

A smile flashed across Marquis Raven's face as he sighed softly, "But to interfere in this way?"

"pity."

"Even a steel-level adventure team cannot affect that high and mighty dragon!"

He had heard a lot about the kingdom's second "Steel-class" adventurers; their leader was a genius in alchemy, even though they were adventurers from the kingdom.

However, they are not stationed in the country, but instead are stationed in the hilly areas where demi-humans are everywhere!
There are various rumors circulating about this situation.

For example, the female demi-human in the adventurer's party was a princess of a race in the hills, who married Tang, the leader of the party.

For example, the idea of ​​royal suppression... that's obviously nonsense.

but.

Given the conflict between "Free Will" and "Blue Rose," and the fact that leader Lajus is a nobleman, it's not unreasonable for people to speculate in this way.

Shake your head!
Marquis Raven put the casualty report aside; these trivial matters had no impact on the overall situation.

"Your Excellency, Marquis."

A middle-aged man in his thirties stood respectfully to the side, and only spoke respectfully after Marquis Raven had finished reading the report:
"This is the third day already."

"A new offensive by the left-wing army is about to begin."

This middle-aged man was one of the members of the think tank personally led by Marquis Raven.

"call--"

Letting out a long breath, Marquis Raven's expression turned serious, and he muttered to himself:
"These casualties are enough to be used as leverage."

"Once the offensive is over, order Gazef and Renas to come with me to meet His Excellency the Azure Sky Dragon King."

"Yes, Your Excellency Marquis." The middle-aged man bowed respectfully.

The reason for the continuous attacks, and even the deliberate waiting of three days, was to ensure a sufficient number of casualties.

That's right!

It's cruel, but we have no choice.

The Azure Dragon King showed no intention of making a move. Despite the empire's full-scale defense, he suffered sufficient casualties but was still unable to break through the empire's defenses.

Only then can one "request" the assistance of the Azure Dragon King!

It wasn't acting.

It was indeed shameful, but the kingdom couldn't break through the empire's defenses, so there was no deception involved.

--battlefield.

Wow!
The sound of weapons clashing and rubbing together.

The soldiers of the left-wing legion raised their spears once more and charged towards the Imperial defenses.

They have already lost one-third of their troops.

Under normal circumstances, the entire left-wing army should have been on the verge of collapse. The fact that it did not cause a mutiny is already a testament to the proper command. However, the result was exactly the opposite.

Despite achieving great victories and repelling more than ten attacks by the kingdom, the atmosphere on the imperial side was visibly somber.

The key—the Azure Dragon King!
This is no longer a secret.

The empire can only defend; as for offense?
Even the most elite soldiers would waver and be filled with fear when faced with the legendary mobile natural disaster.

A heavy, somber atmosphere permeated the imperial lines as soldiers numbly raised their shields, preparing to meet the kingdom's offensive.

Suddenly!

The oppressive atmosphere seemed to be dispelled by some invisible force, and an emotion called "hope" quickly infected the entire unit from afar.

Countless soldiers looked on with admiration and surprise as they watched the aged figure gradually emerge from behind.

"Yes……"

"Yes, it is the guardian deity!"

"Guardian Deity!"

"...!"

An excited, stuttering voice suddenly erupted.

The formation was briefly thrown into disarray, and then a straight passage, wide enough for three people to pass through, appeared on the defensive line.

Freud, holding a cane and with his heavy robe trailing on the ground, walked slowly and steadily along the passage toward the front of the battle line.

Right behind!
They were two middle-aged magic chanters in their thirties or forties, the two most outstanding disciples of the married Luda.

Unlike Furuta's tranquility.

The way the two spellcasters gripped their wands tightly revealed their inner tension.

The opponent... well, it's a dragon after all!
With each step Fluta took forward, the soldiers on both sides of the road immediately stood up straight, looking at the hunched yet powerful figure with admiration.

"Hehehe~" A certain longing gleamed deep within Fluta's eyes. His cloudy eyes gazed ahead, and he raised his hand and waved it gently:
"What a rare sight! Dragon magic... is very worthy of study."

Upon seeing the gesture, the two disciples bowed respectfully and chanted softly at the same time.

"flight"

"flight"

Whoosh!Whoosh!
The two disciples instantly took to the air and flew over the battlefield, watching the densely packed kingdom soldiers charging below.

"Third-tier magic - Fireball!"

"Third-tier magic - Thunder Spear!"

A massive ball of fire crashed down from the sky like a meteorite, instantly engulfing an area in an explosion.

A straight, blue beam of light, as thick as a thumb, shot out like a laser from the hand of another magic caster, easily piercing through soldiers clad in soft armor.

It was like harvesting wheat, with swathes of wheat falling down!

"Third-tier magic - Fireball!"

"Third-tier magic - Thunder Spear!"

The magic continued to be cast.

Both disciples possess the ability to cast fourth-tier magic, but such high-intensity magic is unnecessary on the battlefield; simple and effective magic is more suitable.

Flames exploded, lightning flashed!
With just two magic chanters, the kingdom's offensive was instantly halted, and screams and wails filled the air.

"Since we've already guessed what you're thinking, there's no need to wait until we suffer significant losses before taking action."

Fluder had reached the very front of the defensive line, gazing into the distance with half-closed eyes, and gently raised his magic staff:
"Tier 5 Undead Summoning - Heavy Armored Skeleton Warrior!"

The kingdom launched a strong offensive for three consecutive days.

The reason has already been analyzed by the imperial generals. Rather than waiting for the Azure Dragon King to make the first move and cause large-scale casualties to the empire.

Why don't we let him make the first move?

hum!
Two dark blue magic circles appeared beneath their feet.

Two skeleton warriors, wielding iron magical armor and weapons, emerged from the magic circle and charged toward the battlefield.

Fluder possesses the means to summon "6th-rank undead," and with his proficient abilities, he can summon two by lowering the rank by one.

This will achieve better results!
“Gazef and Renas, those are the correct names.”

"If we can lure these two out together beforehand, we should take them out first, as they are the enemies that are giving Kyrgyzstan a headache."

Fluder controlled two heavily armored skeletal warriors, a fierce killing intent flashing in his eyes:
"I originally wanted to bring a Death Knight, but it's probably useless in a battlefield of this level... that's all."

With the technology provided by the leader of the [Zhilanong] alliance, he finally managed to control the Death Knight imprisoned deep within the Dark Tower some time ago.

Legend has it that the undead can play a greater role once they appear on the battlefield!
Just a pity.

This time, the opponent is not a kingdom, but a dragon king. In addition, the theocracy probably does not want to see a large number of humans transformed into undead.

Fluder could only extinguish the thought.

"Help!"

"The immortals!"

"Escape!"

"...!"

The left-wing legion was in complete chaos, bombarded from above by two magic chanters, and further attacked from below by two powerful fifth-tier undead.

This is something that ordinary soldiers simply cannot withstand!
The heavily armored skeleton knights are like wolves among sheep; a single collision or a swing of their weapons can easily claim dozens of lives.

Such a situation.

Renas and Gerdoff, who were at the back, both changed their expressions at the same time.

The immortals are tireless, unaffected by pain, and do not possess the strength of heroes!

Given enough time, these two heavily armored skeleton knights could easily slaughter this left-wing army of over 2 men!

"Lady Renas, Lady Gazef, the Marquis has ordered you two to deal with those two undead first!"

Hurried footsteps sounded from behind:
"He shall go to see the Azure Dragon King alone."

"Speed ​​up the flow!"

"Speed ​​up the flow!"

Before the panting messenger could even reach them, Rena and her companion had already picked up their weapons and charged into the battlefield.

Two figures moved swiftly across the battlefield in reddish-brown robes!
Because of Renas,

Gazef's daily training has become even more diligent, resulting in him being several times stronger than in the original story, and he has also gained an upgrade in the level of the Origin Ring.

Wearing several national treasure-level magical artifacts, his strength is no weaker than that of warriors in the "Heroic Realm".

"I'll deal with the one to the left front," Rena shouted sharply.

"Okay, be safe!"

Gerdrey shouted a warning, then slammed his foot into the ground and moved to the right.

when!
The black spear pierced the air and clashed with the longsword in the hand of the heavily armored Bone Warrior.

"Back off!"

Renas's eyes hardened. She grabbed a common soldier in front of her and threw him behind her, simultaneously activating her weapon.
"Rapid consecutive thrusts!"

The spear blurred into afterimages, launching several rapid thrusts at the heavily armored skeleton warrior.

when!when!when!
Heavy, intense sparks flew from the weapons of both sides.

The heavily armored skeletal warrior was forced back by this series of fierce attacks, and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Ability increased!"

"Ability skyrockets!"

Two flashes of blue light appeared on Renas's body in quick succession. Seeing that the heavily armored skeletal warrior had lost his footing, she naturally pressed her advantage.
"A powerful blow!"

Against the undead, the cursed abilities of the [Cursed Knight] are ineffective; only forceful physical attacks can be employed.

Click!

A thunderclap appeared out of nowhere.

A dragon-shaped lightning bolt, as thick as an arm, streaked across the sky like a streak of light, its blinding blue flashes catching Renas's eye.

too fast!
Lightning-attribute attack magic is known for its speed, making it difficult to avoid even with preparation, let alone a sudden attack.

Boom!

The location where Renas stood was enveloped in dazzling lightning, emitting an explosive roar.

"Magic Resistance Breakthrough·Dragon Thunder!"

Fluta's aged face spoke calmly and softly, a brief arc of electricity flashing across his arm:
"Hit."

"Even if he's not dead, he should be seriously injured, and a heavily armored skeleton knight would be more than enough to deal with him."

Prioritize dealing with the traitors within this empire!
Fluda's gaze shifted, locking onto Gazef on the other side of the battlefield. He raised his arm again, aiming at the enemy's position, just about to begin chanting.

"kindness?"

A surprised tone rang out, and Fluder turned his head again to look in Renas's direction.

The lightning dissipated!

"Almost..."

Renas appeared in everyone's sight with a pale face and rapid breathing, feeling a lingering fear: "You saved my life again, Master."

A faint red light dissipated from her body!

The barrier of "Thorns of the Head" withstood the attack just now.
