Aya was a lesser dragon, he was the descendant of an 8th rank Shadow Leopard magic beast. He can transform into a human form, but his strongest fighting style was when he transformed into a Shadow Leopard.
Shadow Leopards were the best assassins in the jungle. Their stealth was almost undetectable, even the Dragons were impressed by their fighting strength.
When Aya transformed into a Shadow Leopard, his fighting strength wasn't any worse than a real Shadow Leopard, it might even be stronger. This was because Aya didn't only have the genes of a Shadow Leopard, he also had the genes of a Dragon.
But even so, Aya's status in the lesser dragons wasn't very high. He was only a Captain, currently stationed at the Lyon Empire and the Buddha Empire's Cavalry Fortress.
The Cavalry Fortress was the most important fortress between the Lyon Empire and the Buddha Empire. The Buddha Empire had 50 thousand Iron Cavalry troops stationed here, and the Lyon Empire also had 50 thousand Magic Beast Cavalry troops stationed here.
At this time, Aya was stationed here. However, he wasn't here to defend against the Buddha Empire's attack. Aya believed that the Buddha Empire wouldn't dare attack them. Instead, he was stationed here to defend against the Lyon Empire's army as well as the civilians who wanted to escape to the Buddha Empire.
These days, their days were very good. Although the Lyon Empire's magic beast cavalry were very strong, their mounts were all captured from Accra Mountain. And these magic beasts were actually under the rule of the Dragons. Now that the Lyon Empire's magic beast cavalry had arrived, the mounts would naturally listen to them. Without their mounts, the Lyon Empire's magic beast cavalry were like tigers without fangs, there was no need to fear them.
At the same time, Aya and Aya were the descendants of the Dragons. Because of this, their status was much higher compared to the Magic Beast Cavalry. When the Magic Beast Cavalry saw Aya and Aya, they would have a flattering smile on their faces. If there was something good to eat or something fun to play with, they would give it to Aya and Aya. It can be said that Aya and Aya's days here were much better than when they were in Accra Mountain.
Today, it was Aya's turn to keep watch. In Aya's opinion, this was completely unnecessary. He didn't believe that the Buddha Empire would dare to do this, nor did he believe that the Lyon Empire's Magic Beast Cavalry would dare to rebel. However, there was no other way, they couldn't disobey the orders of their superiors.
However, other than the first day, for the rest of the days, Aya would make a pot of wine and order some side dishes when she was on night duty. She would drink a little wine by herself, and her days were very enjoyable.
At this moment, Zhao Hai was very happy. The Dragons have been enduring in Accra Mountain for so many years. Now that they finally made a move, they were able to take control of a Human Empire. Here, there would be people serving them every day. Naturally, they would feel very comfortable.
In Aya's opinion, the Dragons should have left Accra Mountain a long time ago. With their strength, they should have become the rulers of the Ark Continent. There was no need for them to endure for so many years.
After taking a sip of wine, Aya suddenly stopped and pricked up his ears. He seemed to have heard something. One must know that the Shadow Leopard's hearing was very strong. Since Aya had the Shadow Leopard's genes, his hearing naturally wouldn't be weak.
Aya put down his wine cup and listened quietly. Right, there was a very strange sound. This sound wasn't the sound of the wind, nor was it the sound of leaves rustling. It sounded like someone was rushing.
Aya stared blankly for a moment, then slowly stood up and looked towards the city. This was because the sound came from the city. In the cavalry fortress, there was a curfew at night. Therefore, civilians and soldiers who went out at night would be executed for the crime of plotting against the law.
Because of this, Aya felt strange. Who would come out in the middle of the night? He believed that it wouldn't be the defenders who rebelled. They didn't have the courage to do so. One must know that there was a Dragon in the fortress, a 9th rank expert. How could the defenders dare to rebel?
But then again, were these defenders civilians? They wouldn't dare. Inside the fortress, there was a ban on weapons. Nobody was allowed to hide weapons. If they dared to hide weapons, they would be sentenced to death. The civilians were unarmed, so they didn't dare to resist. In the end, who were these footsteps?
Aya looked towards the direction of the sound. The Shadow Leopard's vision in the dark was much better than ordinary people. He believed that he would be able to see who was coming.
Soon, shadows appeared on the streets of the city. The number of people wasn't small. When Aya carefully looked at them, his face changed. This was because these people had weapons in their hands. Aya knew that they were enemies. Just as he was about to order his subordinates to fire and sound the alarm, he suddenly felt a pain in his throat. He couldn't make a sound. Aya looked down at his neck and saw a sword slowly being pulled out. He saw his blood spurting out. He knew that he was going to die. But what was strange was that he didn't see what the enemy looked like from beginning to end.
An undead warrior appeared behind Aya and supported him. Then he slowly placed Aya on a chair before he turned around and looked at another person.
Just as he turned around, Aya had already disappeared from his mount. He disappeared for a moment before he reappeared on the chair. He stretched his arms and legs before he picked up his two swords and walked towards the other side of the wall. Aya's face was now expressionless. His eyes were staring straight ahead, and he wasn't breathing. It was clear that he was now an undead.
Zhao Hai's main goal this time was to deal with the Dragons. Because of this, Zhao Hai didn't want to make a move on the Lyon Empire's garrison. However, Zhao Hai wouldn't let go of the mounts. He wanted to turn all of the lesser dragons, magic beasts, and Dragons into undead!
With the strength of his 9th rank undead, as well as the sneak attack, it would be strange if the defenders of the Cavalry Fort could do anything. This night's battle went very smoothly. Even the Dragon didn't have time to react before he was killed. Silently, all the lesser dragons, magic beasts, and Dragons in the Cavalry Fort disappeared without a trace.
The same situation occurred at the border between the Lyon Empire and the Rosen Empire's Soaring Sky Fortress. The Dragons didn't have a lot of garrison troops in these two places. Zhao Hai had sent 200 thousand undead, if they couldn't kill these people silently, then Zhao Hai's undead would be too disappointing.
The next morning, the Lyon Empire's garrison discovered that all of the lesser dragons, Dragons, and magic beasts had disappeared. There were only pools of blood on the ground, there weren't any corpses to be seen.
The defenders of the two forts were scared. Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, it was clear that it was caused by the lesser dragons and magic beasts. Even the place where the Dragons were resting was covered in bloodstains, however, there were no corpses. This made them very confused and surprised.
Whether it was the Cavalry Fortress or the Soaring Sky Fortress, all of them were veterans who had been through hundreds of battles. From the bloodstains on the ground, it can be inferred that there was a large army that attacked the lesser dragons and magic beasts last night. Even the Dragon wasn't spared. Looking at the current situation, it can be seen that the lesser dragons were in a precarious situation.
The garrison panicked. No matter who did this, they couldn't escape responsibility. One must know that they were no longer in the Lyon Empire, they were now in the Saint Dragon Dynasty. The Dragons were very protective of their own people, they were also very unreasonable. Now that all of their subordinates had disappeared, how could the Dragons let them go?
In the past few days, the garrison had seen what kind of people the lesser dragons and Dragons were. Whether it was the lesser dragons or the Dragons, they simply didn't treat them as people. Now that the Dragons had lost so many of their people, it would be strange if they didn't take the garrison down with them.
The garrison didn't know what to do. Some of the ordinary soldiers had already secretly run away. As for the officers, even if they wanted to run away, they couldn't. They had a complete file in the military headquarters, where they lived and how many people were in their family. How could they run away?
Naturally, it wasn't that there weren't any officers who ran away. It's just that these officers were already prepared to let their families die. They didn't return to the Lyon Empire, instead, they disguised themselves and fled to the Buddha Empire or the Rosen Empire.
Because of this, the garrison of these two fortresses didn't immediately inform the Dragons about this. The Dragons didn't know what happened in these two places, this gave Zhao Hai time to prepare.
Zhao Hai had already sent a letter to the Fishmen when he made his move. He told the Fishmen to delay the Radiant Empire's navy when they came to the Saint Dragon Dynasty. At the same time, Zhao Hai only had one day to deal with the Dragons.
After dealing with the garrison of the two fortresses, Zhao Hai wasn't too happy. This was within his expectations. However, using this method to deal with the lesser dragons and Dragons in the Lyon Empire's capital wouldn't work. There were too many Dragon experts there, and they had just taken control of the Lyon Empire's capital. The capital was a very sensitive place, so the Dragons would certainly be more careful. Therefore, using a sneak attack would be impossible. Therefore, there was only one way to deal with the Lyon Empire's capital, and that was to storm it!
However, the Lyon Empire's capital wasn't that easy to attack. The Lyon Empire's capital was similar to the Rosen Empire's capital. Outside the capital, there were castles belonging to the nobles. These nobles also had their own private troops. The total number of these troops wouldn't be less than 200 thousand. The Lyon Empire's capital was also garrisoned with 500 thousand troops all year round. Among them, 200 thousand were the Lyon Empire's magic beast cavalry, 300 thousand were heavy infantry, 5000 were lesser dragons, and 40 were Dragons.
If this was the case, then Zhao Hai could guarantee that he would be able to take the Lyon Empire's capital in a short time. There were also two things that Zhao Hai didn't have to worry about. First, the Lyon Empire's capital had a huge defensive formation. He heard that the Lyon Empire spent a hundred years to make it, it was very powerful. If the Dragons didn't have the help of the Lyon Empire's traitors, then it would be impossible for them to break through the capital and eliminate the Lyon Family.
