Even in Lance, wars between dragon lords weren't rare.
In human kingdoms, wars between two rulers would always be about land, resources, and population. In Lance, however, it was more about trivial matters like not being pleasing to the eye, or the fact that one had mocked them at a dragon banquet.
Where there was war, there would always be victory and defeat!
As the direct guards of the dragon lords, the draconians were often the main force at the frontlines. They were often faced with the difficult choice of becoming prisoners of war or death!
As slaves nurtured by the dragon lords, they were implanted with a soul brand from the moment of their birth, forever loyal to their master. There were very few draconians like Zachary, who had their soul contract completely transferred by the thunder dragon Armes.
When the lords lost the war, draconians like them could become slaves of the new dragon lord. However, as long as the original dragon lord did not die, their first loyalty would still be to their old master. Hence, the new master would not trust them, and would only ruthlessly extort a ransom from their original master.
If the original master of the defeated draconians refused to pay the ransom, then the new master would have the absolute right to deal with them. Either kill them or sell them. Everything was decided by the new master.
Hence, when the remaining 67 injured draconians put down their weapons and chose to become captives, their lives were placed in the hands of their new and old masters.
If not for the existence of Zachary, these draconians would not have easily surrendered even if they fought to the last drop of blood. Now that Zachary had subdued them with his bravery, they dejectedly chose to become Zachary's captives.
Remember, they chose to become Zachary's captives instead of surrendering to the Magi!
Hence, when Mary floated down from the sky, she discovered that these draconians had been following behind Zachary the entire time, refusing to bow down to the Magi.
Damn, after fighting for so long, didn't this mean that Zachary had a group of personal guards?!
Before Mary could lose her temper, Dragonman Zacha had already arrived in front of her respectfully.
"Lady Mary, although I know this may bring you displeasure, I still insist … I hope to bring these draconians with me, and let them contribute to my lord's great cause!"
Mary stood still on the spot, silently watching the majestic Drakonid who was covered in blood and bowing.
The battle just now had clearly dealt great damage to the lone Drakonid.
Its left arm was bent at an inconceivable angle. It was obviously broken. The Wind Essence Armor on its upper body was obviously unable to withstand the continuous violent attacks and had turned into scrap metal, barely hanging there. Meanwhile, its lower body, which was covered in fine azure scales, had become a disaster area for the enemy's attacks. Enormous bloody wounds that were half a meter long could be seen everywhere, as well as dense white broken bones.
Although it had won, the damage it had suffered was no less than Will, who had died in battle.
And it was dragging its crippled body and clutching Will's head with its right hand, respectfully half-bowing before Mary to 'plead' for the Drakonid captives!
A Drakonid's posture was equivalent to kneeling on one knee in human society.
Although Mary did not understand the etiquette of the Draconians, she could still sense Zachary's sincerity from his posture.
Since Grimm valued this Zachary so much, then she would give him face and win his loyalty.
Her thoughts turned quickly, and a gentle smile slowly appeared on Mary's cold face.
"If that's the case, then …"
Just as Mary was about to agree to Zachary's' request ', a few untimely voices suddenly rang out from the group of Drakonid captives.
"No … We must not put our fate in the hands of a Drakonid traitor … Look, your so-called great warriors are actually kneeling and bowing to a weak human … This is a disgrace … We will never accept it …"
Zachary's expression changed drastically.
And Mary's face that had just shown a hint of a smile was instantly covered in frost, and her eyes were blood-red.
With a quick glance, Mary almost instantly caught sight of the owner of those voices.
Three Drakonid spellcasters!
Apart from the two deputy commanders and the Drakonid captain, there were five other Drakonid spellcasters in the group that had surrendered. And now, it was three of the five Drakonid spellcasters who had run out to cause trouble.
Perhaps they were used to living a pampered life, and no longer had the eyesight and wisdom to judge the current situation. In order to fight for better treatment and conditions for themselves, they unwisely chose to provoke Mary directly.
It couldn't be helped. Since the start of the war, Mary, as the leader of the Sorcerers, had never really taken action. Moreover, her delicate and hot body and exquisite and perfect face made it easy for the alien races to classify her as a concubine or a concubine.
Therefore, the three Drakonid spellcasters who did not know what was good for them started to cause trouble unscrupulously!
The rage that had been suppressed in Mary's heart for more than a month finally erupted.
Just as Drakonid Zachary and Eden's expressions changed drastically, Mary, who was dressed in red armor, emitted a dense bloody mist that was so thick that it made one want to vomit. Her body, which was still clear a moment ago, instantly turned into a red bolt of lightning and appeared in the middle of the three Drakonid spellcasters at a speed that was hard to discern with the naked eye.
The bloody mist rolled and covered the sky and earth.
Apart from the three Drakonid spellcasters, the rest of the Dragonid Warriors who were closer were pushed away by the bloody mist. Meanwhile, the three Drakonid spellcasters and Mary were shrouded in the thick bloody mist, making it difficult for outsiders to see what was going on inside.
The three Drakonid spellcasters' panicked screams and roars could be heard from within the bloody mist, but more than that, there was a chilling crunching sound of gnawing.
Although they had handed over their weapons, the three Drakonid spellcasters were not weaklings who had lost their offensive capabilities. Although they were called spellcasters, their physical strength was not much inferior to that of ordinary Dragonid Warriors. When they swung their huge, scaly fists, it would not be a problem for them to kill a cheetah or a wild boar with a single punch.
Unfortunately … the one they provoked was the Vampire Sorceress Mary, who had just advanced to Grade 2.
After the strengthening of the Blood Moon Prayer Ritual, Mary had advanced to a pure-blood Vampire and obtained a Racial Specialty called 'Blood Resonance'!
Mary could completely sense any flowing blood within a hundred meters and produce a certain degree of resonance with it. If the target creature was not protected by magic, then Mary could even directly make its blood boil.
This … could no longer be considered as some kind of witchcraft, but a pure Racial Specialty.
This also meant that those weak life forms had completely lost the ability to resist in front of Mary. She did not even need to lift a finger. She only needed to lightly activate the Racial Specialty, and the other party would die under the boiling blood.
And these three Drakonid spellcasters, in front of Mary, did not even have the chance to retaliate before they were directly taken down!
When the thick bloody mist gradually returned to Mary's body, everything in the field gradually became clear.
The three Drakonid spellcasters had already turned into three withered corpses, curled up on the ground, without a trace of life. Mary, on the other hand, gently licked her bright and alluring red lips and walked out with a satisfied look on her face.
As she walked, she used a clean white handkerchief to gently wipe the splattered blood stains on her face.
When she walked in front of Zacha, the handkerchief had already become bright red.
Mary turned around like a whirlwind, a chilling expression appeared on her face as she said coldly.
"Does anyone else have any objections?"
Although her voice was not loud enough, it caused all the Drakonid captives to retreat in fear.
It was unexpected, truly unexpected … that this hot and beautiful human witch was actually a terrifying Grade 2 powerhouse. And the strength she possessed was enough to obtain the respect of the Drakonids!
No wonder even the powerful Drakonid powerhouses had to bow at her feet …
The Drakonid captives lowered their heads, no longer daring to look directly at this terrifying Witch.
"Bring them back!"
"The rest of you, clean up the battlefield …"
When Drakonid Zacha forced himself to lead the Drakonids back to the metal fortress, the remaining Magi and magic machinery immediately began to meticulously clean up the battlefield.
The Crimson Family had paid a huge price in this battle. If they wanted to make up for their losses, they could only obtain it from the spoils of war.
The damaged magic machinery had to be recovered no matter how damaged it was. Those that had sunk into the smelly pond had to be fished out one by one. Although they had lost their ability to fight, and most of them were just scattered shells, they could still be reforged after being sent back to the metal fortress.
The smelting factories, alloy workshops, and assembly workshops that were operating at full capacity within the metal fortress needed raw materials. Reforging the damaged magic machinery would undoubtedly save the most metal and mineral resources.
As for the Drakonid corpses, they were even more of a cost-effective biological resource.
Last time, the Wind Element Drakonid flesh had been combined with magic alloys to create decent Wind Essence Iron. Transporting it back to the Magus World brought the Crimson Family many benefits. This time, there were more Fire Element Drakonid corpses. As long as they could create suitable magic iron materials, the Crimson Family would be able to obtain even more benefits.
Although it seemed like the Crimson Family had suffered heavy losses in this battle, the losses could be recovered in a short period of time. So after cleaning up the battlefield and taking away all the spoils of war, the metal fortress was fully operational. It would only take around ten days for them to replenish the lost magic machinery.
What the Crimson Family had to pay was just some metal ores excavated from the depths of the Jasper Mine.
With a huge mine with rich metal resources behind them, would there still be a shortage of magic machinery in the future?
