"Ga — Ah!" A silver-armored dragon stood on the bow of the ship with a shining blade in its hand. As it howled, the silver ship broke into the harbor and rampaged on the ground.
"The ship is coming in!" The Emerald Dragon soldiers scattered in panic. They were surprised to find that the seawater that surged in could only reach their knees at most. However, the ship, which was more than ten meters tall, could move in such shallow water. It was almost the same as moving on land.
"That ship can move on land!" "What kind of structure is that? Is it a sorcery? "
"Don't worry so much. Look!" Just as the Emerald Dragons were panicking, the commander's words calmed them down. "It's very slow!"
Boom … The silver ship kept making rumbling sounds as it rubbed against the ground. Although it looked very imposing, it was not moving very fast. It was about the same speed as a giant turtle walking.
The Emerald Dragons calmed down. The commander said, "You teams, go and operate the catapults on the towers. The rest of you, follow me to the houses!"
"Ga!" The Emerald Dragons moved again. A group of them quickly went to the towers around the plaza. These towers were originally used to defend against the skeleton dragons. There were large catapults on them.
The other Emerald Dragon Guards followed the commander to the top of the houses. They all picked up their crossbows and arrows.
"Another ship is coming in!" An Emerald Dragon suddenly screamed. The city wall in the distance collapsed again. Another silver ship sailed onto land.
"Don't be afraid of these slow things. Aim at the first ship!" The commander raised his hand. All the dragons raised the bows in their hands. The dragons on the five towers also placed the stones into the catapults.
Now. The first silver ship moved to the center of the plaza …
"Fire!"
Countless arrows shot out like raindrops and hit the silver ship, making crackling sounds. These arrows were all bounced off. Other than killing the silver-armored dragon standing on the bow with a sword, no other damage was done.
However, all the parts of the ship that were hit by the arrows were stained with a layer of black.
"Fire arrows next!"
"Ga!" The Emerald Dragon lit the arrows on fire. These burning arrows brushed past the stained parts of the silver ship and instantly burned. The entire ship was instantly engulfed in flames.
"Now! Release! " The commander gave the third order, and the Emerald Dragon on the tower pulled the catapult. The huge stone hit the armor of the ship with a loud bang, and the shining silver armor caved in under the powerful impact.
However, under the attacks of the Emerald Dragon Stones and Fire, the burning ship continued to move forward. Although it was slow, it was slowly approaching the houses of the Emerald Dragons.
"Fire! Fire! Don't let it knock down the houses! " The commander hurriedly shouted, and a large number of rockets and stones were shot out, hitting the ship one after another, but to no avail.
Finally. The ship approached the first house.
"Gah!" The Emerald Dragon on top of the ship quickly jumped to the surrounding roof, and the house slowly turned into powder under the pressure of the ship.
Meanwhile. The walls of the estuary collapsed once again. Through the gap, silver ships sailed towards the ground. They crushed all obstacles along the way and slowly and steadily advanced in the direction of the Emerald Dragons.
Boom!
The first ship was already sailing among the houses. Most of the Emerald Dragon's buildings were made of wood and rock, but they were quite fragile in front of the giant ship. The houses kept being crushed or knocked down, and the Emerald Dragons on the houses could only dodge everywhere. They could not prevent the houses from being destroyed.
"If this goes on, they will destroy the entire harbor!" The Emerald Dragon commander watched as the houses collapsed. Although he was fine, he was very anxious.
Houses were very precious to the Emerald Dragons. Houses were not built casually like in the past because there were not many suitable places to build houses, and the construction process was more complicated. According to the 'crystal price', a house was much more expensive than the Emerald Dragon's life.
"What should we do? Commander? " A soldier jumped to the commander's side and said, "Should we retreat first? It's not convenient to fight here …"
"No, wait …" The commander saw the fire on the ship slowly diminish. He said, "Let's jump onto the ship and attack!"
"All Emerald Dragons, protect this harbor! Gah! " The commander shouted and jumped quickly on the roof. The other Emerald Dragons also followed and rushed towards the ship in the middle of the buildings …
Buzz … When they approached the ship, a strange sound suddenly came from the ship. Flashing silver devices rose from the deck of the ship.
"Are these … crossbows?" The Emerald Dragons realized that, other than being silver, these things were very similar to the giant crossbows they made. However, there were some differences.
These crossbows were arranged on both sides of the ship. At that moment, a group of silver-armored dragons walked out of the ship. They walked behind each crossbow and sat there to operate it.
"Be careful … Gah!"
Before the commander could finish speaking, an arrow blasted into the roof under his feet. Almost at the same time, the Emerald Dragon's scream sounded beside him …
Bang! Bang! Bang! The sound of arrows being fired sounded one after another. The Emerald Dragons around him were shot through and fell to the ground. The Emerald Dragons' sorrowful cries echoed as blood splattered all over the house.
"How is this possible …" The commander fell through the cracked roof, but he could still see from the window that the silver crossbow bolts fixed on the ship could fire continuously. There was a strange device behind the crossbow bolts, and it was loaded with a large number of arrows. These arrows were continuously sent into the crossbow through some kind of mechanism to be fired.
The commander remembered that some inventors in the palace were also trying to develop this kind of crossbow. But many problems weren't solved. Moreover, there weren't any wars recently, so this kind of thing wasn't developed yet.
Under their continuous fire, the Emerald Dragons couldn't get close to the ship. And even if they did, they couldn't jump onto the ship to attack because the silver-armored dragons were already standing on the deck …
Helpless, the Emerald Dragon commander could only yell. "Retreat … Retreat!"
…
After that, the Emerald Dragon retreated from the harbor, and the giant silver ships went on a rampage in the construction area. Nearly half of the buildings were destroyed by these giant ships.
But they didn't stop there. The silver ships began to move toward the land.
This news quickly spread to the 'Royal City' near the canyon. This city was built along the canyon and most of the residents were nobles. As the continent wasn't as cold as before, most of the Emerald Dragons moved out of the canyon and built houses outside the canyon. It was especially so for the nobles. They used this to show that they lived on a higher level.
But now, they became the Emerald Dragons who were the first to be frightened.
When the news of the 'harbor being captured by the silver ships' spread, it was like a bomb that blew up all the nobles. They were so frightened that they left their luxurious houses and scrambled to hide in the canyon.
"Fools …"
On this day and night, it was drizzling. On top of the tallest building in the royal city, an Emerald Dragon stood by the window and looked at the group of nobles on the street below.
As the entrance to the canyon usually had large amounts of construction materials being transported, it was very busy. Moreover, a large number of Emerald Dragons squeezed in and blocked the passage.
Even so, they still braved the rain and blocked the passage, hoping to return to the canyon as soon as possible.
"Even after a few hundred years, trash is still trash. But to maintain a stable country, trash is indispensable." The Emerald Dragon turned around and walked to the center of the house.
On the ground in the center of the house, there was a small statue that looked exactly the same as the silver dragon's ship.
Among the guards of the Emerald Dragons, there were also dragons called 'sculptors'. After undergoing special training, they had powerful skills. They could sculpt almost identical enemy objects in a short period of time for research purposes.
"Where did they come from?" The Emerald Dragon reached out and touched the statue gently. "Could it be …"
"King!" Suddenly, the door of the room opened and a guard walked in. "Those ships are approaching our city …"
"Let them come." The Emerald Dragon turned around and walked toward the guard. "They … will be devoured."
…
On the green plains, large silver ships were moving slowly.
These ships were about twenty to thirty meters long. They had shells as hard as rock, monstrous destructive power, and turtle-like speed.
Although the Emerald Dragon City was not far ahead, they could not move quickly. They could only move forward slowly, which gave the enemy a lot of time to prepare.
Crack crack crack crack …
Suddenly, one of the ships let out a series of noises and then stopped on the ground, unable to move no matter what.
A silver dragon dropped a rope from the ship and climbed down. It seemed to want to check what was going on under the ship, but when it jumped down from the rope, its feet sank into the ground.
Although it looked like a flat plain, there were a lot of potholes hidden under the green grass. These ships could easily get stuck here, and this silver dragon was no exception …
"Ga ga ah!" When it realized that it could not break free, it panicked and shouted. But no matter how it shouted, it was the only one who came out to check. The other dragons were in the cabin, and no one came out to respond to it. This silver dragon could only watch as its legs were slowly devoured by the swamp. Then, its entire body sank in silently … God knows what.
