The next morning.
The moment the sun rose from the horizon, the prelude to the Dragon Slaying War had begun.
At the foot of the Snow Mountains of the East Sea, the terrain was higher and the vegetation was sparse. It was like entering a small forest from a primeval forest. The closer one was to the Snow Mountains of the East Sea, the more it was so.
However.
More than 8,000 Orcs and Gnolls had been lured into the trap by Makhu Redd.
Makhu Redd had informed them that his great master, Kleistras, had awakened and had a mission for the two chiefs. At the same time, he wanted them to bring the strongest tribesmen.
Logically speaking, the chiefs of the two clans would be suspicious of such a strange order.
This was because when their master gave orders, he would never meet with other trash. Only the chiefs would have the opportunity to meet their master.
But suspicion was just suspicion.
They did not dare to refuse. If they did not obey their master's orders, they would only be facing destruction.
Kleistras was their master. He was the only king of this world, the only Giant Dragon!
His majesty made all the clans submit to him.
Therefore, the warriors of the two clans all carried their personal equipment and stepped into the trap recklessly, while the two human legions suddenly attacked from all directions!
After all, Makhu Redd could not use the excuse that they could not wear their equipment …
But even if they wore their equipment, they were still unprepared. They were immediately torn apart by the human armies who were ready to charge.
Even though the two Orc clans were fully equipped with equipment and weapons, they were facing two of the most elite legions of the Iron Nation. In a situation where their numbers were equal, they could not resist at all. Very quickly, their formation was torn apart by the Iron Nation's army.
The roars, wails, and roars were deafening!
This was a one-sided massacre!
The news of this battle would spread throughout the Snow Mountains of the East Sea.
When the other clans heard about it, they would naturally rush over to support them.
Augustine needed sacrifices and not to destroy all the Giant Dragon clans. After all, these two armies were far from enough.
The two clans brought their defeated soldiers back to the forest.
The remaining corpses and those who were still alive were dragged away by the human armies. Augustine led his troops towards the Dragon's Cave halfway up the mountain. It was the entrance of the cave at an altitude of 5,000 meters.
When he led his troops to the entrance of the Dragon's Cave, they could feel the environment of the Giant Dragon.
It was a magma cave that was more than a hundred meters in length, width, and height.
As soon as they arrived at the entrance, they could feel waves of heat assaulting their faces. The dark red interior of the cave gave off an oppressive feeling.
The Snow Mountain of the East Sea was a dormant volcano.
However, this was all because of the Fire Dragon, Kleostrasse. As long as he was in the cave, he could absorb the flame energy in the magma. Volcanoes could boil with magma, but when the fire magic was extracted, it could not become an active volcano.
Of course, the Fire Dragon could also continue to grow in a deep sleep.
For a dragon, closing and opening its eyes …
Over ten years had passed, and he had also leveled up over ten times …
Becoming stronger was just that simple.
However, this was the laziest way to become stronger …
"Are you sure it can't hear you?" Augustine looked into the depths of the cave a few times, but he did not find the fire dragon. However, he was indeed a little afraid.
After all, it was a Fire Dragon. Even the weakest Fire Dragon was difficult to kill.
Makhu Redd was also worried. He said anxiously, "The Fire Dragon can't hear us, but my boundary can only block sound. It can't stop the spread of the smell of blood. However, I still need your soldiers to place all the corpses on the altar at the entrance. Do it quickly. I have to set up the magic array before he wakes up!"
"Hurry! Hurry up and throw them on the altar! Throw them all over there!" Augustine shouted.
At the same time.
There were traces of the Giant Dragon Clan at the foot of the mountain.
They did not rush up immediately. Instead, they were gathering and preparing for battle!
Augustine clenched his fists. He looked at Makhu Redd and said coldly, "I will send an army to block the entrance of the cave. If your magic array is not effective, we will all die. However, before I die, I will definitely kill you."
"We are all in the same boat. Don't try to scare each other. I have lived for so many years. Do you think I am scared? Remember, when I activate the magic array, the Fire Dragon will definitely wake up. Remember, even if you have to sacrifice your entire army, you have to help me hold it back. If not, you will not be able to activate the altar. Just wait to be burned to death by the dragon's breath! "
Makhu Redd laughed coldly. He did not care what Augustine thought of him.
He strode towards the altar, raised his magic staff with both hands, and smashed it into the center of the altar!
Bam!
A dense stream of black magic spread out with a loud bang.
Thick black tentacles appeared from the altar. Those black tentacles were like invisible energy, absorbing the flesh and souls of the Orcs and Gnolls.
However, the altar had just been activated.
A rumbling sound came from the depths of the dragon cave.
Augustine's mouth twitched. He could only shout, "Shield warriors, go forward. Archers, stay behind. The rest of you, prepare the heavy crossbows."
Then, he looked at a small team that had not made a move yet. There were only over a hundred people in this team. They had different equipment, but the quality was very high. They seemed to be in groups of three to five, but they were wary of each other.
One of them was a man in black armor. His entire body was burning with black combat energy. He smiled and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely make a move when the time comes. We want to kill this dragon as well, but we don't want to be cannon fodder."
"Adolf is right. We, the bounty hunters, are not here to die. We will make a move at the crucial moment. Commander of the Iron Nation, are you still afraid that we will not abide by the agreement?" A Half-Elf with three scars on his face sneered, as if he was making fun of Augustine.
Augustine thought for a while and remained silent. Behind him, there was also a small team of 50 elites. They were the legendary BOSS team.
Behind him, a legion commander secretly said something to him. Augustine stroked his chin and squinted his eyes as he smiled. "My execution team will attack with you. No one will be cannon fodder. If anyone dares to sneak away, don't blame me for being merciful!"
As he spoke, he threw his hood to the ground. He was wearing purplish-black armor, and a slender and slightly curved Dragon-slayer sword hung at his waist.
When the others saw this scene and the aura that he released, they all gulped.
Everyone knew that Augustine was very strong. But now, they understood that he was not very strong. He was really strong. At least, he had become an Advanced professional faster than them.
Just as these people were arguing in the Dragon's Cave …
No one noticed that some abnormally agile Elves were climbing the steep snowy mountains. Not only did they avoid the sight of the Great Dragon clan, but they also reached the top of the dragon cave.
There were not many.
There were only 130 Elves. After all, there were very few Elves with such skills. Those who were chosen by William were NPCs with Advanced bloodlines and above.
William and the others lay on the snow and held their breaths. They did not say a word.
He was waiting.
He did not believe that the Great Dragon would die so quickly.
He also wanted to kill the Great Dragon, not just snatch the Great Dragon's carcass.
"Although there is no experience reward for killing the Great Dragon, I want the title of Dragon Slayer, Legendary points, and the endowment." William clenched his fists.
Of course, there was no need to let the other Elves die in order to snatch the Great Dragon's carcass.
It was enough for William to take the risk alone.
In short, snatching the carcass was a sure win. If not, it was not a loss.
