A loud explosion came from afar, causing Roddy and the others to turn around.
Roddy's team had already bypassed the "Misty Forest" that Elder Rodd had mentioned and were halfway up the Gondola Mountain Range. When they looked back, they could clearly see a cloud of black smoke rising from the village more than 20 kilometers away, and it was constantly flashing with colorful lights.
From afar, they could see the silhouette of a giant dragon that suddenly flew up. A giant gray shadow tried to climb up, but before it could fly too high, it was hit by a large fireball from below. Then, the giant red dragon followed closely behind and grabbed its wings, forcefully dragging it down.
"Boom!"
There was another loud noise, and all the trees around the village were smashed and broken. The dragon's roar came from afar, filled with endless anger.
"Thank goodness we left so quickly …"
Roddy heaved a sigh of relief and continued to move forward with his horse. Although the Arcanists opened up a path in front of them with spells, it was difficult to climb the mountain on horseback. At this time, everyone dismounted and walked. Because there were many old, weak, women, and children among the Teflings, they were arranged to be in the middle of the team, while Roddy, Merinsera, Akasha, and the others were at the back of the team, constantly on guard against any possible situation behind them.
This trip was very smooth for Roddy and the others. The situation in Tasman was completely messed up by him and the hundreds of people he brought with him, and it was estimated that it would take a few years for the situation to recover. The human rebel army had now re-established a foothold in the central part of Tasman, and the "Awakened" had also secretly hooked up with the traitorous elders of the parliament and had a lot of resources to support them. When Roddy returned to Elson, he would send people to send batches of weapons to the people who had gone against Augustine's forces.
In other words, what Roddy was doing was not much different from what the "hegemonic countries" on Earth did. You want to develop? No problem, I'll let your own country fall into chaos first, and see how you develop.
"Speaking of which, I didn't realize that you were so good at destroying countries."
Merinsala was also bored, so she started chatting with Roddy. "A flood that wiped out half of the main forces and caused internal strife in the country. Not only is it killing two birds with one stone, no one will even know it was you who did it. Tsk tsk, look at those guys who were fooled like idiots by you. To be honest, if you were the one dealing with the internal strife of the Dragons, you would definitely be more reliable than those guys who only know who is stronger. "
"We're already standing at the top of the world. Do the Dragons still use the principle of whose fist is bigger to make decisions?"
Roddy shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Perhaps it would be easier to solve problems with strength, but I don't believe that Dragons are as naive as those guys."
"Who cares about them. Anyway, I'm going to Lassiman when I get back. Cullen's place was too small. The kingdoms in the East are also boring. They don't have to face the Undead and Orcs, so they can shut themselves up and fight each other all day long. By the way, what are your plans when you go back? "
Merinsala felt an indescribable sense of loss when she thought that she would have to leave Elson once she got back. Although the weather was terrible and the journey was tiring, the things she had seen in Tasman had constantly refreshed her imagination. These days, whenever she thought of how Roddy had fooled the three Dragons, Merinsala couldn't help but laugh out loud …
But these days seemed to be coming to an end.
"Let's see how the Orcs are doing first. If we can hold them off, then there should be nothing to worry about in the next few years. We just have to wait and develop, and then we can deal with all the guys who are not convinced. "
Roddy's heart was not just limited to the Kingdom of Karen. He pointed to the south. "Now, Houdini and I are not on friendly terms. We are completely tied to the same chariot. If I want to get what I want, I have to help Houdini prove that Elson City is not a pushover … So, if time permits, I think I will go with him to Lassiman. "
"Why are you, a castellan, running around? Are you going to leave Elson here? "
Merinsala replied, rolling her eyes. Although her tone was calm, she was actually trying to suppress her sudden happiness. In order not to let Roddy see the smile on her face, she had to turn her head away, as if she was very interested in the trees beside her.
"If there is no way to develop without a castellan, then the castellan is a real failure."
Roddy smiled. Right now, all he could think of was how to maximize the development of Elson City. Once the magical technology that transcended the era was installed in a large-scale army, it would definitely be able to sweep through everything. He did not need to be loyal to the royal family. Roddy now knew very well that the royal family of the Kingdom of Karen was beyond redemption. What he could do was to wipe out all the old forces, and then reorganize everything on a blank piece of paper!
Akasha was used to Rody's dazed look. Seeing that he was giving Merlinsala the cold shoulder, she tried to smooth things over. "Rody is a restless person. He will only feel at ease if he does everything himself. However, looking at what he has done in the past, I'm afraid that no one else would be able to do it."
"You're right. Where did this guy get so many ideas," Merinsala muttered.
In her heart, she was a little uncomfortable by Akasha's inadvertent display of "ownership". But before she could continue, a sudden wave of magic made her stop.
The team had been advancing under the protection of several concealment barriers. But the sudden wave just now had shaken the whole barrier. Such a strange phenomenon certainly made Merinsala, who cast the barrier, feel puzzled. She turned to look at the direction of the wave. "What is that place? This wave is not caused by the giant dragons … Wait, what is that? "
Roddy, who had activated his "Environmental Sensitivity" state, immediately followed Merinsala's gaze and said in a deep voice, "It's flames … purple flames!"

"You guys … That's all you've got!"
Standing beside the puppet bone dragon that had fallen, Augustine showed a ferocious smile to the three Dragons who had besieged him. His current posture was obviously not as calm as before. His armor was broken, his body was mixed with ice shards and burn marks, his hair was messy, and the blade of the dagger in his hand was broken.
Six of his rings had been damaged, and his most capable assistant, the puppet bone dragon, had its neck broken by Iscar and Essien, and was shattered into white bones on the ground.
Obviously, Augustine was at an absolute disadvantage at this moment.
Iscar and the others didn't say anything. Essien's dragon claw slammed down, and when Augustine hurriedly dodged, his body was obstructed by Kardashian's Ice Cage. When he released all his magic to defend himself, Iscar, who had transformed into his human form, appeared in front of him and punched Augustine's abdomen!
"Crack!"
The metal plate armor was dented, and the Magic crystal embedded in it finally couldn't withstand such a powerful blow and shattered.
Iscar, who had transformed into his human form, was as good as Augustine in melee combat. With his close pursuit and the assistance of Kardashian and Essien, Augustine was soon severely injured. In the end, it was difficult for him to even defend himself, and in just a few minutes, he was completely beaten to the point where he couldn't even fight back …
Finally, Iscar seized this opportunity and grabbed onto Augustine's arm. With a wave of his hand, flames lit up like a chainsaw, instantly cutting off Augustine's arm. Right after, Iscar's palm knocked away Augustine's short sword. The Undead Emperor, who was hurriedly retreating, staggered and was slammed into the ground by Essien's claw, completely immobilizing him …
"What Undead Emperor? You're nothing more than this!"
Kardashian wielded a dark-blue short sword and easily controlled Augustine with magic. She didn't seem to be under any pressure at all, as the three Dragons had been suppressing Augustine throughout the entire battle. The only one who was injured was Iscar, who was fighting against the bone dragon puppet and Augustine directly.
However, Iscar's reputation as the Dragons' "Rookie" wasn't undeserved. Although he had received an incredibly deep wound on his shoulder, the wound had already stopped bleeding and was gradually healing. It seemed as if he wasn't affected at all.
"Kardashian, don't be careless. That shouldn't be Augustine. " Iscar stared at his enemy, who was grinning miserably, and suddenly narrowed his eyes. "You're not the main body … You're just a clone."
"Heh, what's the point of knowing now?"
Augustine didn't deny Iscar's guess at all. Right now, he was pressed to the ground by Essien's dragon claws, and his limbs were imprisoned by Kardashian's ice magic. He couldn't resist at all, but his tone was extremely relaxed. "You guys are smarter than that guy I made into a puppet. You actually knew to use Roddy to bait me … Heh, I was wondering how that guy could possibly ruin my plans. So it was all your tricks …"
"But, do you really think you've won?"
As the pressure from Essien's dragon claws increased, Augustine's face became paler and paler. "Prepare to welcome a new era, you worms —"
"Pfft!"
Before he could finish his words, Augustine's head was directly pierced by a huge icicle. Kardashian raised her hand and pressed down. The soul crystal that was trying to self-destruct was forcibly wrapped by her magic and was taken out from the center of the broken breastplate.
Essien returned to his human form and silently looked down at Augustine's corpse.
"After all this trouble, we're just fighting with a clone?"
Originally, she thought that she had made a great contribution, but now she found out that it was not so. Kardashian was in a bad mood. She raised her hand and grabbed the soul crystal, and with a crack, she crushed it into pieces. The sudden and violent fluctuations that suddenly spread surprised her. "This clone is not weak. I'm afraid it took Augustine hundreds of years to split his soul to achieve this … Destroying an clone is equivalent to severely injuring him."
That being said, why would a character like Augustine send out such a powerful clone for no reason? After all, just this clone alone had withstood the attacks of three Dragons for nearly 20 minutes!
There were not many people on this continent who could do this. This also proved that Augustine was definitely a strong enemy. Otherwise, even the Dragons would not be afraid of him.
"He seems to know something …"
Iscar always felt that the other party's words had a hidden meaning. At this moment, the fluctuations that swept from the distant mountainside suddenly made them widen their eyes!
The thick demonic fluctuations swept over like a volcanic eruption. Although it was colorless and invisible, in the eyes of the Dragons, it was no less than an apocalyptic disaster. They turned their heads and all saw the purple flames that suddenly spread from the mountainside. Then, they immediately jumped up, leaving the messy battlefield behind and flew into the distance!
After flying hundreds of meters high, Iscar tore off the pendant on his neck and crushed it on the spot …
