Chapter 203: Green Dragon Alyria and the Gift of the Ancient Dragon
When everything is in the most favorable battlefield situation, a magic scroll can kill a large number of monsters in a narrow environment.

However, the clash of wills between the two forces and the brutal fight between thousands of troops cannot be decided by just a few witchcraft traps and one or two magic scrolls.

What ultimately determines the outcome of a war is the clash of swords between the two armies and the bloody battles of countless soldiers.

So after Su Li arranged the ambush battlefield and magic tactics, he asked Rong En: "How many knights can we send out for the ambush?"

Ron thought for a moment and said slowly, "We have made preparations for this battle in advance. All cavalry units can be transferred outside the camp. Except for the seriously injured soldiers, we can deploy at least 800 knights."

800 cavalry?

This size is enough!
Although not all of them are elite cavalry, this battle does not require the soldiers to have too high individual combat power.

The Centaur Cavalry had been weakened by the battlefield and the blood, and could not pose much threat at all.

As long as the cavalry can follow the elite knights in charging, it is enough. The enemy will not be able to resist. Their lances can slaughter the opponents unscrupulously, and their combat effectiveness will not be much worse than that of the elite knights.

So Su Li said directly, "Let's arrange it this way. Have the dwarves and archers ambush the camp, ready to climb the city walls and shoot at the ambushed enemies. I will personally lead the cavalry corps to encircle the enemy from the rear, and strive to destroy the main force of the monster's mobile force in one battle! This time, we must catch the turtle in the jar!"

With Su Li's decision, everyone started to prepare in a swift and decisive manner.

Under the illumination of the blood moon, the entire battlefield was quickly set up with various mysterious traps, and the atmosphere became extremely gloomy.

It certainly looked like a dark and windy night, a perfect time for murder and ambush.

Just when Su Li was leading everyone here and working hard, in the huge monster camp in the forest, the green dragon's huge roar resounded like thunder. The terrifying sound waves rolled out from the highest platform in all directions, blowing away countless tents and supplies. The weaker monsters were blown unable to open their eyes and were messy in the wind.

A huge pressure as majestic as a black cloud enveloped the entire camp. Even the stupid giants and the resentful tree monsters could clearly feel the terrifying atmosphere. They didn't even dare to breathe, for fear of provoking the furious king and being torn into pieces in an instant.

On the throne of the hills, the furious green dragon, Deceitful Wings Alyria, was raging uncontrollably. Its huge body swept across, and its wings swept away a large number of boulders and trees on the hills, creating a terrible scene like a landslide.

Although the green dragon is not known for its physique or melee combat, as a giant dragon, its bony skeleton is still so hard that other races cannot match it.

Sometimes extreme cruelty is extreme majesty.

Under Ailiriya's wrath, all monsters, including those chosen by God, trembled like frightened quails. This made it slightly satisfied and confirmed that this defeat did not shake its rule and majesty. Others were still afraid of its strength and brutality.

But it was still furious at the striker's defeat, roaring and raging, "Sandario's stupidity is beyond my imagination."

"I knew it wasn't much smarter than the porcupines in the forest. But I didn't expect it to be the dumbest among all the porcupines."

"Four legions, each powerful enough to sweep through a kingdom's knights, or even an entire barony. Yet, they were completely annihilated by a mere pioneer lord! They have brought shame upon our forest and tarnished the dignity of our legions."

The spiteful tree demon Gailregon had already hidden outside the camp by this time. It had a legitimate reason to use the rustling sound of leaves to summon more tree demons.

The tree demons were distributed in the vast blood pine forest. The closer they were to the outer areas of the western forest, the fewer there were. The further into the forest, the more densely wooded areas there were. So no matter how much Galeregon summoned them, these slow-moving tree demons were seriously lagging behind the speed of the army's assembly.

If you look from the air, you can see a large number of tree monsters falling behind the green dragon army through the dense bushes. They are like streams, winding from east to west and merging into this huge camp.

It’s not that the Green Dragon doesn’t want to destroy the Black Forest Territory with the force of a mountain.

Even if she changed her cautious and sinister character and rashly sent all her main forces to fight a decisive battle with the Hessen Lord without any hesitation, she would not have that many troops.

No matter how you look at it, this world is both idealistic and materialistic.

As long as he is still materialistic, it will take time to gather troops.

It had only been a few days since Alyria had awakened from her slumber. Unlike humans, the monster armies under her command were not well-trained professional soldiers. Their assembling process could not possibly be faster than a professional human army. She gathered her troops from various gathering places and communities to her barracks.

It is the slow speed of the tree monsters' gathering that has caused the main force of the Green Dragon Legion to not leave the forest yet.

The vanguard's exploration had clearly not gone well. The battle hadn't been as smooth and decisive as Alyria had hoped, leaving her furious.

The spiteful tree demon Gail Regon hid away, and the elemental giant bear Ostanka Ursol was guarding the dragon's nest treasure in the emerald ring, which resulted in the chaos monster Chimera Skarros Mad Roar having to face the green dragon's rage alone.

At the beginning of the war, it requested to stay in the Green Ring.

The four chosen guards under the Throne of Thorns have very different personalities. Sandarion is naturally hopelessly stupid, so he is the first to die on the battlefield.

The elemental giant bear, Ostanka, was a mindless fool, much like his native Kislev. Though he had adapted to the forest environment, the twisted shadows hadn't altered his reckless and straightforward nature. He had no ambitions, simply wanting to cling to the green dragon's thighs and feast without worrying about food.

It would be best if the green dragon could hibernate with its master in a closed palace when the green dragon is asleep.

This made both Skarros and Galeregon despise it.

It was precisely because of the existence of this brainless reckless man that Galregon and Skarros did not dare to complain to the green dragon.

Otherwise, these three giants would inevitably engage in a earth-shattering battle due to their desire for power and status.

But precisely because of this, Irelia the Deceitful Wing trusted this wild bear the most and left it to guard the most important dragon nest.

The green dragon was also very clear about Skarros's ambition. If it stayed in the nest, the nest in the rear would be looted by this Chimera before the battle on the front line was over.

Then this chaos monster will take the opportunity to slip away with a large amount of dragon treasures, enter the Gray Mountains or cross the forest to the other side of the more distant Black Forest Mountains.

That place is the world of ogres, greenskins, and chaos dwarves. Even a green dragon will not get any good luck if it goes there.

The most gloomy is the poisonous leaf Galeragon. It hates every living being with resentment and treats all creatures equally.

Sometimes the way it looked at the green dragon was so terrifying that even Skarros, a cruel and chaotic monster, felt terrified.

It was a kind of crazy and greedy extreme evil. If given the chance, it would definitely use vines as thick as chains to tie up the green dragon and suck the blood and vitality of this strongest creature.

Therefore, the green dragon would never allow Galeragon to approach it while it was sleeping, and exiled it far into the forest.

It will only be summoned back when war breaks out.

But even the dumbest gnolls beneath the Palace of the Green Ring discussed the time of the Galeregron Rebellion.

Rumors have long circulated that this spiteful tree demon is preparing some unholy ritual within the forest. It's an open secret within the forest that it's preparing for rebellion. It's only a matter of time before it does.

The monsters are all waiting for the two behemoths to decide the outcome. Sooner or later, one of them will completely defeat the other, exile it from its own territory, and drive it to other remote and desolate territories.

If Galregon the Venomous Leaf is a silent conspirator, then Chimera Skarros the Chaos Monster is a crazy and ambitious person.

Its greed is undisguised. It covets the green dragon's huge wealth and also longs to bite this slender green dragon.

From the perspective of dragon aesthetics, Irelia is a sexy and beautiful dragon with her slender body, jagged bone spurs and shiny scales.

As a flying monster, if Skarros wants to leave, he can sneak away while the green dragon is sleeping.

But it wanted to imprison the green dragon and take away the amazing wealth in the dragon's nest, so it had been enduring.

Facing the enraged dragon, it deliberately flattered, "That fool Sandarion's wisdom certainly cannot compare to that of my noble master. His defeat will not affect our legion's victory. Just a few thousand monsters. As long as the forest remains, monsters from other directions will soon flock here to hunt and make up for our losses."

"I believe that with your wisdom, Master, we can easily defeat these despicable insects with just a little trick."

The proud dragon was quite pleased with Skarros's compliment. He raised his chin, glanced at Skarros with his golden eyes, and said majestically, "You, a humble servant, have some knowledge. Yes, I have a plan to defeat these humans."

"The Centaur tribe is furious. They desperately need to chop the enemy into pieces, vent their fury, and satisfy their bloodlust."

"You take them and immediately raid the human camp again." A hint of panic appeared in Scarros's cruel eyes. He asked hurriedly, "Shall we set out now? Sandarion just died in battle, and we haven't figured out the enemy's strength yet. Wouldn't it be too risky to attack so rashly?"

Although the monsters pretended to be disdainful of human strength.

But Sandarion's death actually gave them a great shock.

That's a powerful God-chosen-level wyvern king! You can look down on its intelligence, but you absolutely cannot underestimate its strength.

Skarros had fought with this stupid-headed monster more than once. Their fights were earth-shattering, destroying large tracts of forest and even smashing hills and mountains one after another.

The battlefield after their rampage became a mess, with broken wood and rubble everywhere, and even the ground sunken into a basin.

But even such a powerful enemy was killed by humans in just one day and one night!

Skarros originally thought that it was Sandarion's stupidity that led to the annihilation of the entire army. In fact, humans were just a group of weak and lucky insects.

But when it was about to lead its troops to fight these humans, the image of humans in its mind instantly reversed! From weak, tiny insects, they turned directly into terrifying monsters shrouded in darkness and huge shadows!

All these changes were completed the moment the dragon gave the order, and it immediately felt the terrifying shadow of humans as huge as a demon.

Alyria snorted and said smugly, "You useless idiots! You were so scared by a swarm of bugs that you dared not fight them. How can we expect you to wipe out the surrounding area?"

"Don't worry! I've already predicted that humans will be careless. They certainly didn't expect that we would send a surprise attack just after our defeat and retreat."

"Given the speed of the Centaur Legion, they absolutely won't be able to react in time. Any surprise attack will have an unparalleled effect."

Seeing Skarros raise his head again with an arrogant look on his face, Ailiriya couldn't help feeling proud.

It was simply proud of its own wisdom. Humans had absolutely no defense against such a sinister and cunning scheme.

Ordinary people would not have thought that it would decisively send an army to launch a surprise attack under such circumstances.

It seemed as if it had seen the human's expression of disbelief and the wailing of fear.

The Green Dragon's strength has never been in frontal attacks, but in various conspiracies and tricks.

It can't wait for Skarros and the others to come back and report the good news!
Skarros also felt that the green dragon's sinister plan had a high chance of success. Thinking of the stupid wyvern Sandarion being slaughtered like a pig by humans, while the legion commanded by Skarros easily broke through the human defense line, it couldn't help but feel excited.

This will be an unparalleled boost to its prestige!
The monsters in the forest only respect the strong. As long as it can enhance its prestige, there will be many people willing to rebel with it.

After I defeat these humans and devour the bodies and flesh of their strong ones, I will find a chance to come back and deal with this arrogant green dragon!
So it couldn't help but feel elated. All three heads howled excitedly towards the sky, then shook their heads and confidently assured Alyria, "My powerful and wise master, no one can match your cunning and great wisdom! In this raid you carefully planned, I will perfectly exterminate all humans. I will turn them all into nutrients for the forest, so that you can build a taller and more magnificent Throne of Thorns!"

"Roar, roar, roar! I am full of confidence, and victory is already in my grasp! Humans will definitely pay the price for their stupidity."

The green dragon narrowed its golden eyes, glanced at this cruel and excited subordinate, grinned proudly, and revealed its ferocious fangs.

"Hmph~ Your compliments please me, fool. As a reward, I grant you an enchanted item, the Gift of the Ancient Dragon."

As the dragon flapped its wings, a bronze square badge flew from its throne to the huge dragon head of Chimera. Skarros bit the badge and took a look at it. He was immediately overjoyed. He saw a majestic statue of an ancient dragon engraved on it. The dragon's eyes were shining with brilliant golden light, and the image was majestic and full of spirituality.

It has been in the Green Dragon camp for so long and has heard the legend of this treasure countless times.

[Gift of the Ancient Dragon] Legend has it that this is an ancient relic forged by the dwarves, containing the soul of a powerful dragon. Originally buried in an underground treasure house, it was looted by an Emperor Dragon.

Its ability is also full of dwarven colors. After activation, it can give the user a body of steel, which lasts for 15 seconds.

During the period of obtaining the Iron Body, defense will be greatly enhanced. Almost completely immune to magic and ranged damage, and close-range physical damage will be reduced several times.

Only the sacred damage caused by divine magic is unaffected and can penetrate the powerful protection of the Iron Body.

Moreover, this iron body can be used not only once, but also can be activated every once in a while as long as there is magic power in the body.

With this powerful enchanted treasure, Skarros can continue to gain a body of steel in war.

As a Chaos Monster, it possesses not only powerful magical abilities but also an extremely strong physique. With its iron body, it can charge into human camps without restraint, wreaking havoc and slaughtering countless humans.

Even if the battle situation is unfavorable, it can rely on the powerful protection provided by this enchanted item to break out of the siege, and will never be killed by humans like that idiot Sandarion.

So it excitedly swallowed the badge and roared, "My respected master, I will lead my troops to attack the human camp and chop them all into pieces before they can react!"

Then it spread its huge wings and flew up from under the hill, its huge shadow covering a large area of ​​the sky.

When its huge wings spread out and it flew over the camp, roaring to summon the troops, the Centaur army in the camp quickly gathered!
These centaurs are none other than the troops commanded by Commander Skarros. As Chaos monsters, they are naturally sociable.

Centaurs are also known as Centaurs. Like Chimeras, they belong to the Beastmen camp, servants of the Chaos Legion. They live in the forest and work together with other Beastmen to ambush prey that enters the forest.

As centaurs, their lower bodies were the same as their quadrupedal ancestors, which ensured their speed and strength; their upper bodies were humanoid, which enabled them to wield brutal weapons.

These centaurs are extremely powerful and ruthless. They are not particularly agile, and although they have great strength, they cannot manipulate and use objects with dexterity.

At the same time, they are filled with hatred, hating their own clumsy hands and feet and hating others' natural quick minds and nimble limbs. Every time the sun rises and the war beasts set out from Ten Thousand Demon Rock to conquer humans, the centaurs will wake up, grab their weapons, and rush to the battlefield with the beastmen.

So when Skarros called on them to leave the forest and attack the human camp, more than two thousand centaurs responded to his call.

These powerful beasts possess two major characteristics: [Ferocity] and [Primal Fury].

These armies will become even more formidable when they fight in groups, drink, and eat heartily!
At the same time, when entering the battlefield and facing humans, the beastmen will burst into extremely savage rage.

The scale of this battle with more than 2000 people is just right for them to exert their full strength!
Humans have underestimated the richness of the forest. In this wooded foothill, there are huge herds of people, horses and beasts. They live a nomadic life, without any camps, and can survive only among the natural cliffs and rocks.

So when more than 2000 centaurs rushed out of the forest, the whole earth shook under their iron hooves.

Skarros had no intention of hiding his tracks. With the swift speed of the Centaurs, as long as a surprise attack was launched, humans would have no time to mobilize troops and deploy defenses!

Under the blood moon, Skarros quickly arrived at the human outpost on the plains with a huge herd of beasts.

This hilly fortress is the most dangerous location on the plain. It is so conspicuous that monsters can see its entirety at a glance without much effort.

And the situation is even better than Scarros expected!
The entire human camp was silent, not even the sound of many patrols could be heard.

Skaros listened intently with its three heads. As a Chaos Monster, its most striking features were its three heads: a dragon, a lion, and a bird of prey. The dragon's head could spit flickering flames, the lion's head could grab its enemies with its fangs and tear them apart, and the bird of prey's head could use its hooked beak to pierce the strongest armor.

Each head is independent of the others, so they often quarrel. They can fight alone or coordinate with each other. Their wicked tails also end in a mouth full of fangs, and they have huge wings on their backs, but they can't fly very high.

The dragon head among the three heads was the most violent. Seeing the gap in the wall that humans hadn't yet repaired, he couldn't wait to roar, "Attack immediately! I'm going to tear all humans into pieces!"

The herd of beasts below received the order and immediately started running wildly. The sound of their hooves was like a thunderous wave, and the whole earth was shaking.

The lion roared angrily, "You are too reckless. We should lie in wait and strike with a single, fatal blow like a lion."

The raptor cursed grimly, "It's always like this, like a tyrannical tyrant. I swear if this happens again, I'll peck your head out with my beak. You're useless with your brain anyway!"

The lion roared with fangs and claws bared. "I can't even remember how many times you've sworn that! We should just go for it and bite its head and neck. Let it feel the pain and learn its lesson."

A stream of flame erupted from the dragon's head, burning a large section of the human wall once again. It roared with unbridled excitement, "Stop complaining. With such a flawless attack, we should move forward decisively!"
