Augustine walked out of the dense forest and took a few deep breaths. The conversation just now had made him very uncomfortable. It was not that he liked to face a dark Warlock like Makhu Redd. It gave him an oppressive feeling.
Augustine squinted his eyes and pondered. "This old fellow did not mention that we need to sacrifice lives to activate the magic formation that is a fatal threat to the Giant Dragon."
"Damn Makhu Redd. Does he want to send my soldiers to their deaths?" Augustine shook his head gloomily.
Although he was not a citizen of the Iron Nation, these people were his soldiers. Now that they were following him, he would not let them die for nothing.
Even if it was to slay the Dragon, he could not kill the goose that laid the golden eggs.
It was more important to occupy the City of Dawn and the Black Lava Nation. It was more important to preserve his soldiers. He had to prioritize his priorities. Slaying the Dragon could be delayed, but attacking the chaotic Black Lava Nation was an opportunity that would not come again.
"Then I can only lure out some Giant Dragon clansmen and use them as sacrifices!" Augustine raised his eyebrows. He could only do this for now. He could not think of any other solutions.
After all, Makhu Redd had said that he had placed a soundproof magic formation at the entrance of the Dragon Cave.
As long as the mountain didn't start shaking, even if they killed all the Fire Dragon Tribe members, the pig wouldn't wake up. This also meant that Makhu Redd had the same intention. However, they would definitely lose some soldiers.
Augustine climbed up a tree and looked at the snowy mountains of the East Sea not far away. He smiled. "There's still one more day."
…
William led the elite 2000 soldiers and finally caught up with the Iron Nation. They stopped at the place where Augustine had temporarily rested the previous night.
Some of the flowers and grasses on the ground were bent, and some were even uprooted. There were many scratches on the surrounding trees. Some soldiers were probably bored and had even carved some unsightly portraits on the tree branches …
Of course, this was a very common situation. No one had deliberately left these marks.
William followed along the way. Almost every place where they stopped to rest had many marks left behind.
Augustine led two legions. It was impossible for every soldier to be highly trained. Furthermore, there were so many of them, so it was difficult not to leave any marks in the forest.
Even Albert, who was a muscular man, would throw out a Battle Energy Slash when he had nothing to do …
The trees that were cut down were even more obvious.
Of course.
The key was that there were no pursuers behind William. He did not have to be so strict. Everyone knew this.
"Augustine doesn't seem to be guarded against me. Is he that confident?" William scratched his head. He did not understand.
Why didn't Augustine leave a single scout behind? Or did he leave something behind that I didn't notice?
According to his memories from his previous life, not only was Augustine's combat power extraordinary, but he had also developed the Freedom Alliance after the Iron Nation had been destroyed by the Darkness Invasion.
But William forgot …
Be it humans or NPCs, they all needed to grow!
Augustine was now just a proud young man.
He and Goethe Nasis had known each other since they were young, and they had founded the Freedom Alliance together. It could not be said that everything had been smooth sailing, but with their combined efforts, they had taken control of the Iron Nation in just a few years. How could Augustine not be proud?
Furthermore, Augustine had many epic experts under him. His army was larger than William's.
What did he have to be afraid of?
On top of that, there was a spy like Maku Redd.
What did Augustine have to be afraid of?
He was only 28 years old, but he had accomplished such a great feat and taken control of a nation. Why was he not confident?
It had to be known.
Only complete failure would cause a person to grow or fall. Augustine had not encountered a fatal setback, and he was far from the shrewdness and wisdom of his previous life.
Of course.
The crucial point was that Augustine had never fought with the Elfin army.
It could even be said that many human nations on the legendary continent had forgotten the true combat power of the Elfin army.
In the second era, the Elves had ruled the Gods' continent, but the third era belonged to the humans!
The humans were the victors of the current era, and the history books were written by them.
But many historians had greatly underestimated the combat power of the Elves. This caused many human nations to underestimate the Elves.
In the end, some duchies, grand duchies, and even a few kingdoms could not come into contact with the Elves. They could only understand the Elves through history books. They only knew that the Elves were mysterious, but they did not know how powerful they were …
Of course.
Some powerful kingdoms and empires would definitely face history correctly. They would even remember the power of the Elves. They would recognize the strengths of the threat and attack the weaknesses of the threat. They would strive to prevent the Elves from leaving the forest forever.
After a short rest with 2000 elites, William cautiously continued to track Augustine's army.
He believed that as long as he did not make any rash moves, he would not lose everything.
If he won the War of the Giant Dragons.
Then in version 1.0, he would welcome the greatest fruits. It would lay a solid foundation for his rise in the future.
…
Time passed quickly.
Lautner led 4500 people on 13 large ships. They sailed along the coastline at a much faster speed. They were about to reach the snowy mountains of the East Sea.
They did not hide this trip because these ships did not dare to go deep into the sea. After all, the large ships that were built could only be used as large fishing boats. They were far from the level of warships.
But an epic warship was already halfway built. The overall structure was almost complete.
Now, all that was left was …
Dragon bones!
Lautner finally understood why William did not use some good materials as the dragon bones. If that was the case, the epic warship would have been completed long ago.
"That's because … his true goal is to slay the Dragon!" Lautner could not help but clench his fists. His blood was boiling.
Slay the Dragon!
This was the dream of every man on the legendary continent!
The title of Dragon Slayer was an honor that would accompany him for life.
It was hard for him to imagine when William had such a plan.
"Half a year ago, he had been looking for a shipbuilder. But after he found a Moonlight Elven Grandmaster shipbuilder, the shipyard could only build some large fishing boats … They have been building the hull of the warship, but the materials used are unimaginably expensive!"
Lautner was William's executive officer. He knew almost everything that William knew.
Half a year ago, there were nearly 200,000 gold coins in the warehouse of the City of Dawn.
But William had spent nearly 80,000 gold coins on the epic warship!
Even the existing materials, such as mithril, fine copper, and fine iron, were thrown into the warship as if they were scrap metal. Also, the expensive black iron wood …
According to William, the quality was not enough?
Then he would make up for it with quantity!
William wanted to forcefully build the warship into an epic warship. He wanted to reach the upper limit of what a Grandmaster shipbuilder could build.
In short.
This epic warship was more expensive than half of the City of Dawn.
"If I add the dragon bones that belong to the Great Dragon …" Lautner was in a trance.
He looked at the snowy mountains of the East Sea that were about to reach the shore and muttered, "If I can really do this, that warship will be invincible in this sea …"
