At the foot of the Seven Star Monument, Xia Fei and the others were invited into the Evil Dragonriders' headquarters.
Compared to the glory of the demons, the current Evil Dragonrider headquarters was very simple, but it was still as complicated and detailed as ever. All sorts of star maps and coordinates were hung on the walls. The Evil Dragonriders, known as master tacticians, had planned their war with the dragons here.
A tooth hanging on the wall caught Xia Fei's attention. It was extremely sharp and took up an entire wall. Xia Fei could not help but stare at it.
"That's a dragon tooth! Our brothers plucked it from a dragon. For every dragon we kill, we pluck out one of their teeth! You've only seen one of them, "Rakshasa said with his hands behind his back.
Dragon tooth!
Everyone was shocked. It seemed that the Evil Dragonriders had killed more than one dragon in the countless eras of war! To be able to persist until now without any support and achieve such impressive results, the combat strength of this powerful army was no exaggeration.
"Please, sit!" Nalan Wufa waved his hand. According to seniority, Xia Fei was a junior. He had originally planned to sit at the very back, but who would have thought that the three leaders of the Phantom Dragonriders would not allow it, insisting that Xia Fei sit at the very front, right next to him, with the Drake Wang Yangguang sitting next to him.
"Sit closer. I have a lot of important things to ask you," Nalan Wufa said.
Xia Fei nodded. It seemed that they were very interested in him.
"Is it true about Annihilation?" Dinghai, who had the demeanor of a master, asked with a frown.
Everyone nodded helplessly. The three commanders of the Evil Dragonriders sighed. The hot-tempered Rakshasa's face turned purple as he clenched his fists.
Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Dinghai, who looked very much like a monk, quickly changed the topic. "Xia Fei, your speed is over a hundred million, and you have a pair of broken wings?"
Xia Fei nodded. Nalan Wufa asked, "Can you demonstrate it to us?"
Xia Fei stood up and made a critical strike! He instantly shot out the door and returned to his seat.
The process was naturally very short, but it was enough for the three commanders to see Xia Fei's speed and the obvious broken wings on his back.
Nalan Wufa was shocked. "It really is a speed that has broken the track. Do you know how much exactly?"
Xia Fei thought about it and said, "I'm definitely over 100 million. If I go all out, I should be able to break 120 million, but I'll still need some time to strengthen myself."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
Xia Fei curiously asked, "Why is everyone so concerned about my speed? Does it matter? "
"It's related! The seemingly calm Dinghai couldn't help but blurt out. "That's right!
Nalan Wufa's gaze swept over everyone. "It's not that we're looking down on you all, but that we're lacking speed-type experts. The Evil Dragonriders' battle tactics came from the Heavenly Demon himself. As you all know, the strongest of the four Heavenly Demons is the Broken Wing Heavenly Demon, White Fang. That's why the Evil Dragonriders don't have speed-type experts. It's like a warhorse missing a leg."
"There aren't many speed-type experts in the dragonriders to begin with, and it's even rarer for them to reach the max level. Add to that the pressure on speed-type experts. Searching for information requires speed-type experts, and fighting requires speed-type experts. The risks are high, and it's hard to avoid losses over time."
After a pause, Nalan Wufa continued. "Unfortunately, speed-type experts rely on innate talent. Warriors without innate talent will find it hard to become speed-type experts, no matter how much we nurture them. I won't hide it from you all; we lost our last warrior with a speed of over ten million when we fought the dragons a few days ago. This is the most difficult time for us, and you all have come at the right time."
Dinghai smiled. "We can't help it. Our brothers have just arrived, so it's a little overboard to talk about this. Why don't we let our brothers rest first?"
Xia Gucheng and Sunshine hurriedly waved their hands. Xia Gucheng said, "We're lacking speed-type warriors. That's no problem at all. Our Heaven's Wings speed-type experts have been passed down for generations, and we have twenty-one people with a speed of over ten million! If the army needs us, we can go to the battlefield at any time! "
"Twenty-one people!" The three commanders of the Evil Shadow Dragonriders were stunned, looks of disbelief on their faces. These twenty-one people did not include Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng. To the dragonriders in their current predicament, this was an inconceivable amount of wealth!
At this time, Sunshine, who had been listening to them all this time, said, "Since your surname is Nalan, you should be a descendant of Nalan Hangu, Nalan Sheng, and those people. Where are they? Why haven't they come to see me? "
Master ~
Nalan Wufa's expression changed drastically. He whispered, "Old Dragon King, I won't hide it from you. Back then, our Nalan family was ordered by Lord Celestial Demon to take charge of the dragonriders. For something as important as surrounding the demons, our Nalan family had to do everything we could. Back then, we 143 brothers followed the army on this expedition, and I'm the only one left alive."
Everyone was moved when they heard this. Before Celestial Demon left, he had the Ding and Nalan families jointly manage the army. The Ding family would manage the demons, which was public affairs, while the Nalan family would manage the dragonriders, which was the military force. The third great family, the Luo family, would also provide assistance.
Though the three commanders of the Evil Shadow Dragonriders were all surnamed Luo, Ding, and Nalan, they were no longer the same as they were in the past. These were all the younger generation of their families, and they had grown up in battle. Thus, the Alternate Dragon King Sunshine did not recognize them.
The Nalan family only had Nalan Wufa left, and the Ding and Luo families were not much better off. There were very few people left alive.
Sunshine let out a long sigh and sadly closed his eyes. Nalan Wufa and the others could all be considered Sunshine's juniors, but Sunshine could not raise his head no matter what. After all, they had agreed to move together back then, but Sunshine had been schemed against and could not make it.
"How many warriors are left in the Evil Shadow Dragonriders?" Sunshine asked.
"Around 47200," Nalan Wufa sternly replied.
"So few?!" Sunshine was shocked. The Evil Shadow Dragonriders were a force that numbered in the millions! Adding on the fact that the demons had gone all out this time and brought away all the high-level combat power of their race, the number of troops that had killed their way here was close to ten million! Now, their losses had reached eighty percent out of ten!
The demons had a habit of having very few female warriors in their ranks. Even the Skywing Race, which had the demon bloodline, was the same. The few female warriors they had were from the medical team.
Normal battles were not a problem, but in a situation like this, where they had been trapped for so many epochs, the disadvantage of having a lack of women in their ranks became apparent. The Evil Shadow Dragonriders had no way of replenishing their ranks in prolonged battles, so their numbers kept dwindling.
Of course, no one could have predicted that this battle would be so long.
Xia Fei cheered from the side. "Battles have never been about numbers. This time, the Alternate Dragon King Sunshine has brought all his tribesmen, and we've also brought out all our elites. If we work together, we might not necessarily lose!"
"Well said!" Luo Sha excitedly said to Xia Fei. "Especially since you're here! We have hope of taking the Seven Star Stele! As long as we get the Seven Star Stele, no matter how much the Dragonriders wreak havoc, they'll all die! "
Xia Fei was stunned. He curiously asked, "Take the Seven Star Stele? Isn't it just seven stones? Why do we need to take them? "
Sunshine, Chu Jingfeng, and Xia Gucheng were also curious. They did not understand what Luo Sha meant.
Nalan Wufa stood up and pushed open the door. He pointed at the seven giant stone steles outside and said, "The Seven Star Stele is also known as the God Striding Ladder! Look, the seven stone steles are of different heights, and they're arranged in a circle. What do they look like? "
"Like a ladder," Xia Fei said after some thought.
"That's right, like a ladder! That's why it's called the God Striding Ladder. As long as you can cross the Seven Star Stele, you'll have an unparalleled status! Realm Lord! "Nalan Wufa said.
"Realm Lord?!" Everyone was shocked.
"That's right, the ruler of a world! The reason why we're guarding the Seven Star Stele is because we know the importance of the God Striding Ladder. Once you cross it, you'll no longer be an intelligent lifeform, but a god! A god who owns a world! "
"It's a pity that generations of Dragon Riders have never been able to understand the mysteries of the Seven Star Stele. No one has been able to cross the Seven Star Stele and become the Lord of the Universe," Nalan Wufa said in a deep voice.
What a mysterious Seven Star Stele. What a mystical God Striding Ladder. Crossing the seven stone steles would give one a world, a universe?!
Xia Fei curiously asked, "Does that mean that warriors who are one rank higher than Annihilation are called Realm Lords?! I presume that Annihilation and Five Elders Peak, as well as everyone here, are Realm Lords? "
Nalan Wufa shook his head. "Realm Lords have nothing to do with cultivation. It's just a title. That's what the Celestial Demon Lord told us. Obtaining this title is equivalent to admitting that one can own a world."
Xia Fei frowned. "I see, but what does this have to do with this war?"
Nalan Wufa shook his head. "I'm not sure. All I know is that the Dragon Race also wants to take the Seven Star Stele. For countless eras, all the wars have revolved around the Seven Star Stele. Both sides fight for it, not giving way to each other.
"Once the Dragon Race takes the Seven Star Stele, they'll send their own clansmen in to fight for the title of Realm Lord. This fight is very dangerous, and the Dragon Race has lost many of their elites. If not for this loss, I'm afraid we wouldn't have lasted until today.
"Just a year ago, we paid a huge price to regain control of the Seven Star Stele. You've really come at the right time. According to the reports from the outside, the Dragon Race is secretly recovering their strength, and a new war is about to begin!"
The fight for the Seven Star Stele had lasted for so many eras! Everyone found it hard to imagine. These seven towering stone monuments as well as the identity of the World Overlord, what did they represent exactly?
At this time, the Wyvern Wang Yangguang placed a hand on Xia Fei and asked, "From what you're saying, it seems that Xia Fei is a speed type, so you want him to do something to the Seven Star Stele?"
Nalan Wufa pointed to the first, the shortest stone stele and said, "Every time someone enters, the stone stele will light up. The second one will light up, and so on and so forth. The Evil Shadow Dragonriders are constantly trying to enter, and the one closest to the seventh stone stele isn't our strongest warrior but the army's fastest scout! He made it all the way to the fifth stone stele! "
Yangguang was stunned. "This means that speed is far more important than rank! What's the speed of the warrior who made it to the fifth stone stele? "
