"Charge! Citizens of the Emerald Dragon, fight for the King! "
It was now … Year 160 of the Emerald Dragon. This was the year that was recorded from the day the First King appeared. After 160 years, this day and night was a memorable time for all the Emerald Dragons.
Now, the green army had gathered under the sun in the snowfield. Every Emerald Dragon was wearing all kinds of equipment, and some were even dragging huge tools. They all had one goal, and that was —
"Completely eradicate that group of white monsters! Caw! "
"Caw!"
Thousands of Emerald Dragons burst into cheers. They looked at the snowfield in the distance together. Now, there were a few white figures moving on it. Mao Yu was looking at the group of Emerald Dragons in confusion. They were wondering why so many of them suddenly gathered.
In fact, this was a plan that had been brewing for a long time.
Every Emerald Dragon King had always been preparing for its army. From a long time ago, a group of Emerald Dragons had already decided to do this. They constantly made and studied all kinds of weapons and traps, and began to store a large number of thermal equipment. These equipment were accumulated in the underground storage room of the palace. At the same time, the things they studied were also the same.
The Emerald Dragons made many new traps and new weapons, but this time was different from before. In the past, every time a new weapon was made, the Emerald Dragons could not wait to use the newly made weapons to deal with Mao Yu. This basically led to the same result: Mao Yu quickly became familiar with these things.
And none of the tools made by the Emerald Dragons would be taken out. Instead, they had been accumulated.
After a certain amount of these equipment had been accumulated. The King would gather the Emerald Dragon army and distribute these things to them.
This was originally a plan that could have been realized earlier. But because of many reasons. So it dragged on for a long time. But it did not matter. This army with brand-new equipment finally attacked this day and night! They would use the things they had stored for many years to completely eliminate Mao Yu, a threat that had lasted for more than a hundred years …
The puzzled Mao Yu looked at the group of Emerald Dragons in the snowfield. Other than the common weapons such as swords and crossbows, the Emerald Dragons did not recognize most of the things they brought. Some Mao Yu had been looking at them in confusion, while some went back to their caves and 'reported' to the other Mao Yu.
But the Emerald Dragons did not give them too long to think.
The Emerald Dragon commander stood on a tall rock and looked at the battlefield called the snowfield. He said to an Emerald Dragon adjutant beside him, "Is the weather alright now?"
"Yes! There shouldn't be a problem for the next few days and nights. " The Emerald Dragon's adjutant held a small reptilian creature in his arms. This creature was called the 'Future Lizard'. Its scales would change color according to the changes in the weather. A few years ago, the Emerald Dragon had discovered this creature and brought it out to explore and predict the weather.
"Gah … Very good." The Emerald Dragon Commander raised the crystal sword in his hand and said, "Snowbiter unit, attack!"
Under the command of the commander, hundreds of Emerald Dragon Knights riding Ostrich Dragons walked to the front of the army. Each Ostrich Dragon was dragging a huge object with a vine rope — they called it the Snownail Tooth.
It looked like something the Emerald Dragons used to plow the ground. It was called a rake. However, it was much bigger. It was more than two meters wide. The 'nails' made of bones or stones were dense and hard, and a wheel-like structure was installed on top of the rake.
"Charge!"
After receiving the order, the Emerald Dragon Knights charged towards the snowfield where the Emerald Dragons were in an orderly formation. The ostrich dragged the heavy rake, but its running speed was not fast. It could even be said that it was not much different from walking. The scattered Mao Yu on the snowfield instantly scattered and fled. The ostrich could not catch them.
However, this was not the intention of the cavalry.
When the Emerald Dragons moved, the ropes connected to their legs would make the wheel-like structure on the rake rotate. As the wheel-like structure rotated, the dense nails under the rake would also move. They would retract and pierce the ground in an orderly manner, like sharp teeth gnawing at the snow.
This' Snownail Tooth 'kept hitting the ground as the ostrich moved. Some of the Mao Yu who were hiding in the distance looked at this strange device in confusion. They initially thought that this thing was not a threat to them, but they soon realized that there was a problem …
Mao Yu's nests were usually buried under the snow. Because they often went in and out, the holes were basically sealed with broken ice. However, when the ostrich ran over, the nails behind them would not only poke the snow loose, but also break the ice blocking the holes, so that every Mao Yu's cave on the snowfield was exposed to the sun.
Although this device was not as efficient as having a group of Emerald Dragons poke the snow with their spears to find the holes, its complexity still surprised Lin.
Most importantly, the Emerald Dragons did not recognize this device. By the time the Emerald Dragons realized what this device was, many of the holes were already exposed.
"Attack!"
The next group of emerald dragons followed the big ostrich army onto the battlefield. They were wearing warm leather with some balls hanging on their skins. They held torches in one hand and quickly rushed to every exposed cave and threw these balls into the cave. After these balls entered the cave, the emerald dragon threw in a torch. The balls quickly burned and produced a lot of thick smoke.
Mao Yu's cave extended in all directions. It was a huge underground network. Every cave was connected. Smoke alone could not harm Mao Yu because there were always some ventilation holes. The Emerald Dragons knew this very well. Therefore, the Emerald Dragons took out another ball and threw it in.
After these balls were thrown in, they would explode due to the high temperature. Then, a small creature would fly out.
These creatures were called Mad Mites. Just like their name, these creatures moved much faster than ordinary mites and liked to drink blood.
Due to the high temperature in the Emerald Dragons' nests and the high temperature of the nearby flames, these Mad Mites were quickly filled with vitality and went deeper into the caves.
This was a tactic the Emerald Dragons' Emerald Dragons came up with after studying the White Skeleton Dragon's battle in the 'ancient' era. This was the information the Emerald Dragons obtained when they occasionally captured a few Emerald Dragons back for experiments.
The Emerald Dragons quickly threw many of these Mad Mites into every hole. These mites would go deeper into the holes due to the smoke at the entrance of the holes. In the end, they would find the Emerald Dragons and Emerald Dragons hidden inside.
The Mad Mites were not a threat to the Emerald Dragons' lives, but they would make them itch all over.
The Emerald Dragons did not realize what was in these balls at all. They were slowly being surrounded in the depths of the holes.
The Emerald Dragons followed the Emerald Dragons to explore the Emerald Dragons' nests and carefully cleaned every hole. After they threw the balls in, the third group set off.
This group of troops was responsible for shoveling the snow. They used tools like shovels to remove the snow beside the Emerald Dragons' nests. This was a tedious job, but because the Emerald Dragons were hiding in the caves, there was nothing to hinder them.
Although it had been a long time, the snow was not very thick. Below it was almost a solid layer of ice. The Emerald Dragons' nests were on the ice.
After seeing the snow being shoveled away, the commander shouted, "Trap Unit, go forward!"
At this time, another 'trap unit' went forward and set up a lot of traps around the Emerald Dragons' nests. These were very simple traps. They were the type that would close up after being touched. The Emerald Dragons were very familiar with them. It was almost impossible to catch any of them.
However, they were still set up.
While all this was going on, the Emerald Dragons also brought along their other symbiotic creature — the Electric Gnomes.
There were not many Electric Gnomes. They were usually kept in the noble district as caretakers of treasures. They were rarely brought out by exploration teams. However, this time, the Emerald Dragons brought a lot of Electric Gnomes. They were released on the snowfield. These Electric Gnomes chased after the Emerald Dragons who were still wandering outside and chased them all back into the caves.
The Electric Gnomes were bigger than the Emerald Dragons. They could not get into the Emerald Dragons' nests, but they could catch up with the Emerald Dragons' nests. This meant that the Emerald Dragons could not keep an eye on the Emerald Dragons from outside. They were all chased back into the caves.
In two days, the Emerald Dragons had found the exits of hundreds of Emerald Dragons' nests on the snowfield. They shoveled away the nearby snow and set up many traps around them.
After walking for a long time without finding any Emerald Dragons' nests, the Emerald Dragons' commander gave an order … to retreat!
Soon, a large number of Emerald Dragons dispersed in a short period of time, leaving the Emerald Dragons' nests exposed.
All the Emerald Dragons seemed to have disappeared.
The first Emerald Dragon came out very quickly. It looked around in confusion. It did not care about the traps at all. It passed through the traps and sniffed around the ice.
It soon found the direction of the Emerald Dragons' retreat. The Emerald Dragons quickly ran in that direction. It also saw the Emerald Dragons very quickly.
… No, those were not the Emerald Dragons.
What Mao Yu saw was a large pile of spherical objects on the ground. These spherical objects emitted the smell of the Emerald Dragon, which interfered with Mao Yu's sense of smell.
This time, the Emerald Dragons hid in front of the Emerald Dragons.
After all, the Emerald Dragon was much smarter than Mao Yu. That was the ratio of their brains.
The Emerald Dragons did not have much sense of danger. Many of the Emerald Dragons came out and eliminated the traps around the caves. Then, they lived their lives as usual.
However, they would soon be faced with an unprecedented crisis … Astronomy.
