In the northern part of the continent, the Beastmen and the Elves were still at war. This war was actually started by the humans. When the humans attacked the Elves, the Beastmen immediately joined the war. When the Elves were in danger, the humans stood up and defeated the Demons and the Beastmen, turning the situation around. Now, the humans were fighting the Demons, while the Elves continued to fight the Beastmen.
Now, they were the only ones fighting. The Beastmen's ally, the Demons, had already lost their capital to Li Huailin. Of course, they wouldn't come to help. On the Elves' side, because the humans had also gone to attack the Demons, they didn't have any reinforcements. Both sides had been fighting on and off for more than two months. Both sides had suffered heavy losses. At first, the Beastmen didn't want to fight. However, the Elves didn't want to negotiate with the Elves. This was because 100,000 of their compatriots had been killed by the Beastmen. Peace negotiations alone weren't enough to calm the emotions of the Beastmen. They insisted that the Beastmen admit defeat, but the Beastmen refused. They were willing to pay compensation, but they refused to admit defeat. They had signed a truce agreement with the humans. The Elves had picked up the spoils of war that the humans had left behind. Now, they wanted the Elves to admit defeat? Of course, the Beastmen refused.
After more than two months of fighting, the Beastmen on this side were gradually losing ground. The Elves fought their way into the Beastmen's territory and captured many cities. However, their attacks weren't fierce enough. Or, it could be said that they didn't have enough stamina. After all, the Elves only had 60,000 troops, while the Beastmen's territory was too big. The commander of the Beastmen's first army, the current supreme commander of the Beastmen, Colbart, also decided to trade space for time. He would use limited resistance to stop the Elves from advancing. Then, he would continue to train and replenish his troops. Moreover, the Beastmen were originally a fighting race, so the training speed of new recruits was very fast. After two months, the Beastmen began to counterattack. Now, they had defeated the Elves in their territory.
On the other hand, the Elves had suffered a great loss. The most important thing was that their most elite force, the Silver Wind Guard, was no longer around. Moreover, not a single one of them was left. It would be very difficult to rebuild the Silver Wind Guard from scratch. Moreover, they didn't have the time to do so. After all, the Beastmen only needed to wield their axes to enter the battlefield. There was no way they could compete with the Elves. Therefore, once the war dragged on for two months, the Beastmen would be able to catch their breath. Now, it was the Elves' turn to be in trouble.
However, the Beastmen also had a hidden danger. Because winter was already half over, they didn't have enough food to begin with. They didn't manage to obtain anything from the previous war. After a while, they might run out of food. Therefore, they didn't have much time left. Seeing that the situation at the front line had begun to change, the Beastmen's leader, Dilba, gave an order to Marshal Colbart to directly attack the Elves' territory and rob their food.
Colbart really knew how to fight. Although he wasn't like the human commanders who had gone to advanced military schools, his combat ability came from actual combat. As mentioned before, the Beastmen were a fighting race. They fought every year. If they didn't fight, they wouldn't be able to survive the winter. Therefore, there were endless people who knew how to fight. In this regard, the Elves had a great advantage. Because the Elves were a peaceful race, after two months, Colbart had also familiarized himself with the abilities of the Elves. To be honest, he really had the confidence to fight back.
With Colbart's assurance, the Beastmen's leader, Dilba, was relieved. Because the country had begun to suffer from famine, the people who didn't have food to eat would naturally cause trouble. Currently, it was only in a few places, but according to this situation, it was estimated that there would soon be a large-scale riot. The situation at the front line had begun to reverse. This really saved Dilba's life. Otherwise, the Beastmen would really be in trouble.
Just as Dilba heaved a sigh of relief, something big happened.
"What? What did you say? "Dilba looked at the guard who came to report in surprise.
"Your … Your Majesty … Kerenza City in the northeast was attacked by a dragon. The city was completely destroyed, and the casualties were heavy …" The guard reported again.
"Dragon attack?" Dilba was stunned for a long time. What was going on? Just like what Li Huailin said, although the people on the continent knew the existence of dragons and knew that they were an intelligent race, no one treated them as a race that could be communicated with. In fact, when Dilba heard about the dragon attack, his reaction was exactly the same as when an earthquake occurred and the city collapsed. His attitude towards this thing was that it was a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster at all.
Because it was a natural disaster, Dilba was a little shocked, but he quickly calmed down. This matter was more troublesome. Of course, he knew the location of the Dragon Valley. In the past few years, there was basically no news of a dragon attacking a city. After thinking for a while, he thought about it. Could it be that some guy ran to the Dragon Valley to steal something, and then the dragon chased him all the way and destroyed the city?
"What a f * cking headache," Dilba said. Dilba said. Especially at this critical juncture, the Beast Race's troops were about to begin their counterattack. The situation was good, but such a thing happened. Wasn't this making him upset?
Of course, it was impossible for him to hold the dragons accountable, because the dragons did not have a platform to communicate with them. After thinking for a while, Dilba said, "Help me inform Sword Sage Bahra of this matter."
Yes, Dilba's choice was to inform the Sword Sage. Saint-level figures generally didn't participate in wars, but in their view, a dragon attacking a city was the same as a monster attacking a city, so this Saint-level figure could intervene. There were three Sword Sages in the beastmen nation, and one of them happened to be in the main city of Durostan. Dilba naturally wanted to discuss this matter with him.
Soon, Sword Sage Bahra was invited to the hall of the beastmen parliament. The elders of the various races also rushed over after hearing the news. Sword Sage Bahra was 141 years old this year. In terms of the beastmen's age, he was considered an old man. Because of his old age, his strength had slightly declined compared to his peak. He was the weakest of the three Sword Sages, but he was still at the Saint-level.
As soon as Sword Sage Bahra entered the hall, all the elders stood up to greet him. Even Great Leader Dilba was no exception. People with strength were respected everywhere. Although Sword Sage Bahra didn't have any official position, he was still on equal footing with Dilba, so no one found it strange at all.
"I heard about it," Sword Sage Bahra said as soon as he sat down. As soon as Sword Saint Bahra sat down, he said, "It's been many years since a dragon attacked a city. What's the situation?"
"We're also confused," Dilba said. "There were a few people who came back to report, but none of them could explain the reason. They were inexplicably attacked and suffered heavy losses. Basically, the city was completely destroyed, and there were countless casualties. Kerenza has more than 90,000 citizens, and according to the current situation, it's estimated that at least 80,000 people died in the attack."
"There were such heavy casualties?" Sword Saint Bahra was also taken aback. "Based on what I know, the Dragon race usually doesn't attack cities. Their leader, Red Dragon Queen Ramidios, is very friendly to other races … Logically speaking, they wouldn't attack our city for no reason. Did someone on our side disturb the Dragon Valley? Based on my calculations, it should be the Dragon Race's annual gathering soon. Did someone on our side sneak into the Dragon Valley? "
The Dragon Valley was naturally a good place. The Dragon race was synonymous with nouveau riche. They liked gold coins and gems, so every dragon was basically very rich. They didn't use this money. In any case, they basically relied on robbery, so every dragon had a small treasury. It wasn't just money. There was also something very valuable in the Dragon Valley, and that was young dragons. If one was caught and brought back, how much could they sell it for? It would be an astronomical figure. Thus, the Dragon Valley was a treasure mountain in everyone's eyes. From time to time, people would fearlessly run there to steal things and never return. In any case, the officials didn't care.
Speaking of the Dragon race attacking a city, Sword Sage Bahra's first thought was that someone had angered the Dragon race and then fled all the way to Kerenza City, causing the entire city to be destroyed. This was the most likely option.
"I don't know either. Sigh, I've really been unlucky for eight lifetimes." Dilba sighed and said, "Sword Saint Bahra, how do you think we should deal with this matter?"
"Mm, leave this matter to me. I'll go and investigate what's going on over there. We'll talk about other matters after I finish investigating," Sword Sage Bahra said after some thought.
"Then I'll leave this matter to you, Sword Sage Bahra." Now that Sword Saint Bahra had taken over this matter, Dilba breathed a sigh of relief. Basically, with a Sword Saint taking action, there shouldn't be any problems, and he could continue to focus on dealing with the important matters on the front lines.
On the other side, not far to the east of Kerenros City, the Red Dragon Empress, who had just destroyed Kerenza City, was discussing with Li Huailin what to do next.
"Are we really going to do this?" Remdios was also very conflicted. She sincerely wanted to live in peace with the other races, but she also knew that Li Huailin was right. It was impossible to continue like this, but she just couldn't get over it.
"Of course it's for real. You've already started, and you still want to go back? If you don't go all out, you know which side will die, "Li Huailin smiled." Don't worry, you'll soon find that it's very interesting to follow me. "
