"Do you intend to resist? That's not a wise move. You should choose to join us and live on this shining land. That's the best thing. Don't you want countless crystals? That way, you can avoid the pain of war and continue to live peacefully in this world … "
The huge crystal floated in the sky. Its loud voice spread out and echoed in the sky above the emerald dragon city.
"It seems like it wants to give us crystals. What nonsense is it talking about? Does it want to make this world shiny? If that's the case, when the sun shines on the ground in the morning, it'll be very painful! "
Most of the emerald dragons below were discussing with each other, but none of them said that they wanted to join.
"Caw!" General Ebriar stood on the platform and pointed at the floating crystal in the sky. "You make it sound so nice. You want us to join you, but in reality, you want to enslave us! You destroyed our statues in the beginning. That's what you want! "
"So, you want to fight?" In the sky, the floating crystal continued to roar. "You don't care even if the entire population is wiped out?"
"Caw …" The general seemed to be shaken by the sound, but he quickly reacted and said loudly, "Many creatures wanted to wipe us out, but we survived and defeated them! You … are just one of them. Our response to you is … to fight back with all our strength! All dragons, pick up your weapons! All dragons who can't fight. Leave this place! "
"Caw!" The dragons in the square immediately stopped what they were doing. Most of the dragons raised their weapons and aimed at the sky. Only a small number of dragons quickly escaped from the square.
This included the emerald dragon father and son who brought the blood mist. They quickly gathered their things and left with the obtuse-horned dragon. They also threw the blood mist on the stacked boxes.
"Wait, I still have … Don't you want those boxes?" The young dragon was being pulled by the old emerald dragon. He stared at the boxes and shouted as he struggled.
"Those boxes are empty, and many of them are rotten. Moreover, many of them are rotten. They were originally meant to be thrown here! " The old emerald dragon held the young dragon tightly and said as he walked, "Now we have to leave this place quickly. The war is about to start.
"Caw! My head! I haven't taken my head yet! " No matter how much it screamed, the old emerald dragon still dragged it away and quickly left this place.
"… Looks like I've been left here. But that's good, I can see things clearly this way." Blood Mist's head was placed on top of the box, so he could see the situation in the square clearly. Now … General Ebriar pointed to the sky and yelled from his high platform.
"Inner Forest City is one of the cities where warriors gather! Almost all of the dragons gathered here are brave soldiers and elites. They are here to participate in the celebration of historical victory. It was a huge mistake for you to attack this place. You will realize the price you have to pay to fight us! Everyone attack! "
"Ga!" The Emerald Dragons in the square all raised their weapons. Countless arrows were aimed at the sky and shot towards the floating crystal like a torrential downpour.
"Primitive and warlike. We have seen many creatures similar to you … "
The sky that was covered by the rain of arrows was suddenly filled with crackling sounds. All the flying arrows bounced off as if they had hit something, spinning and falling back to the ground.
"… What is that?"
The general stared at the sky. He noticed that as long as the arrows flew to a certain height, the arrowhead would flicker and bounce back. None of the arrows could reach the target.
It was as if the huge crystal in the sky and all the creatures riding on the flying disc were protected by a transparent wall. As long as the arrows got close, they would bounce back.
"You need some fear to obey …" After this sentence, the huge crystal floating in the air, which was dozens of meters in size, slowly rotated. It was conical. And now, it was pointing the tip of the 'cone' at the square.
"They're attacking! All dragons, disperse and retreat to the surrounding buildings! "Seeing the movements of the huge object in the sky, the general immediately shouted.
"Caw!"
All the Emerald Dragons present immediately scattered at full speed. This was an area very close to the Skeleton Dragon Country. Although there had been no battle with the Skeleton Dragons for a long time, there were always many guards in the border cities.
These guards were well-trained. They quickly dispersed under the order, but …
Boom! The light and smoke from the explosion rose up in the square loudly. It swallowed all the Emerald Dragons who had not made it out in time, including the high platform where the general stood.
"Caw … Caaahhh!"
After the light dissipated, the emerald dragons here screamed. A big hole with a diameter of more than 50 meters appeared in the square. The hole looked bottomless, and the walls of the hole were covered with a layer of crystals. Even the ground around the hole had crystals spreading out in a radial pattern.
There were also some who stood within the range of the crystal. They maintained their running posture, but they did not move at all, because they had all become … crystalline statues.
"This is the power I've seen underground …" The bloody mist was at the edge of the square, so it was not affected. It was the only Emerald Dragon who was not so surprised.
This was because it had seen this many times underground. If a Primordial realm expert used this kind of cannon to clear a path underground, it would clearly cause great damage to the city.
"Do you know what you're facing? You don't need to feel this terror. Why don't you join us? We're going to make a final announcement now. We'll be attacking all your structures. The only place we won't attack is the area around the hole that was blasted open earlier. "
"If you want to show that you want to join us, then gather around the hole. I- according to your method of timing, that's within three hundred seconds."
The voice continued to echo through the air, but none of the Emerald Dragons replied. Basically, all the Emerald Dragons had dispersed to various parts of the city. None of them dared to come out and fight.
"Do you still hold onto hope for victory? Don't you know that your end is right before you? Stop running … Very soon, your time will be up … "
With that, the huge crystal moved once again. It aimed its cone at a certain location in the city.
"If only … I could move!"
The bloody mist looked at the situation in the sky. It constantly tried to move its head, but it was unable to do anything.
However, it suddenly heard a voice.
"The general … Is it dead? It's too close to the centre. It's impossible for it to survive! What do we do without the general? Can anyone take command? There doesn't seem to be any other commanders here … "
Two flustered Emerald Dragons walked past the bloody mist's chest. The bloody mist immediately shouted, "Wait, you two!"
"Caw? Ahhh! There's a … talking head? "one of the Emerald Dragons shouted when it saw the bloody mist on the chest.
"Don't worry about that!" the bloody mist said. "Let me move. I can activate the agreement!"
"What? You can activate the agreement? "the Emerald Dragon asked in surprise." Why is there only one head … "
"What's an agreement?" the other Emerald Dragon asked.
"Don't you know? The agreement is something that we can activate when we're attacked by creatures that are far stronger than us. At that time, we can take out the weapons in our dreams to fight. We … "
Boom!
Before it could finish speaking, a dazzling light rose from a group of buildings in the distance. Large amounts of smoke and dust rose, and the ground of the entire city shook.
"Are you still going to resist?"
At the location of the explosion, a crystal hole that was almost the same as the one in the square appeared. The voice in the sky echoed through the city again.
Although the Emerald Dragon soldiers were still hiding, many civilian dragons had already walked out of the buildings. Out of fear, these dragons gathered in the square. However, most of the dragons chose to hide in the buildings like the soldiers.
"Hurry up! There's no time! " The bloody mist shouted at the two Emerald Dragons in front of it. "Connect me to the Dream Realm. I can only activate the agreement!"
"But how can your head …"
"Don't worry so much. You'll know once you try! Do you want to watch it blow up the entire city or be turned into a crystal statue? "
"…" The two Emerald Dragons looked at each other. Then, one of them walked over and picked up the bloody mist's head. "Alright, we can only try now."
Boom! Another explosion sounded in the distance. As the roar echoed throughout the city, the voice in the sky asking them to join in echoed.
However, its voice only affected a small number of dragons. More dragons escaped from the buildings, but they chose to run out of the city instead of gathering around the hole in the square.
As for the dragon that was holding the blood mist, its running speed became even faster.
It ran to the front of a building. As the dragon that lived in the building had run away, the door of the building was wide open. It ran into the room inside with the bloody mist, found a connecting device to the Dream Realm, and stuffed the bloody mist's head into it.
The blood mist immediately felt the world around it change rapidly. The blood mist realized that it was standing on a floating rock. The familiar feeling of its hands, feet, and body all returned to its mind.
"Very good … Now, let's show them the power of the Dream Realm."
Blood Mist clenched his fists and jumped down from the rock. (To be continued.)
