On the flat, endless grassland, the sound of war drums and trumpets is endless.

In a roar of despair, a crowd of ragged, yellow-skinned people charged the army of the Ronan Kingdom with rudimentary wooden thorns in hand.

The well-armed Ronan Army easily became the enemy cannon fodder for refugees. With a strange hissing, the heavily armored shield soldiers in front of them were well-trained to separate the roads one by one, and a group of cavalry riding monsters rushed out with a roar.

These monsters stand on two legs, their forelimbs are thin and atrophied, their hind limbs are well developed, and their bodies are covered in rocks with an armor-like skin. The sharp claws are far sharper than any sword, and they easily bite the enemy's wooden sticks, tearing the enemy in front of them to pieces.

These monsters are called bipedal earth dragons, and they are said to have dragon blood flowing through their bodies. If Zheng Ming saw the scene in front of him, he would definitely be amazed that these monsters more than two meters tall were so similar to the dinosaurs in his previous life.

The bipedal dragoon troops quickly slaughtered the refugees-like cannon fodder. They roared and charged at the Dornish forces not far away.

With the blessing of the mages' spells, a faint white light appeared on these cavalrymen. Whether it's speed, strength, or even tolerance for pain, it's gone up several steps.

However, the methods of the Dornish wizards followed. As clouds of black mist filled the air, most of the blessing spells on Ronan's army were offset by the curses of the Dorn wizards. Several mages Ronan who had been countered were even coughing up blood under the corrosive curse mist, showing fatigue.

While the spellcasters on both sides were fighting in the air, the bipedal dragoons had already collided with the Dorn's lizard cavalry troops.

For a while, people turned on their backs, neighing, and roaring shook the sky.

At the same time, the drums of war changed, and the sound of bugles became the melody of an all-out offensive.

Under the intense sound of military trumpets and dense drums, the infantry of both sides quickly approached and engaged in close combat.

Almost instantly, the half-man-tall grass was ugly brown-black under the trampling of iron hooves, and then stained red with blood. Blood flowed and flowed, and in a short time it became a pool of blood of various sizes.

"Roar~"

Just as the soldiers on both sides were red-eyed, holding blades full of gaps, and slashing wantonly, the ground shook with a low hiss. I saw a giant monster one and a half meters tall and six or seven meters long come out of the troops of the Dorns. In addition to its lack of wings, the monster resembles Doragogon and is known to the Dornites as the Earth Dragon.

With a dozen or so Earth Dragons joining the battlefield, the Dorn, who had been a little weakened, gained a firm foothold in one fell swoop. Despite its lack of intelligence and inability to use energy, the Dragon's sheer size and powerful body make it unquestionable in terms of its lethality on the battlefield.

Almost instantly, a large area of Ronan's soldiers was swept away by the giant tail with the sound of breaking wind. Despite their determination to fight, they were trampled and bitten by the Dragons, reduced to broken pieces and a pool of blood.

The Earth Walking Dragon, who had already appeared and changed the tide of the battle for a while, soon suffered the same fate as Ronan's soldiers.

I saw a golden dragon as if it were made of gold descending from the sky. Like an eagle catching a chicken, it tore several earth-walking dragons to pieces in twos and threes.

These earth-walking dragons had no chance to resist in front of the same Ragon as their ancestors, and were slaughtered as easily as the humans who were torn apart by it.

"Roar!"

With a roar of rage, the golden dragon Memgard finally crushed the head of an earth-walking dragon and rose into the air.

At this time, the black dragon Kladika, who kept roaring his name, was already close in front of him.

A black dragon known for its physical strength and a symbol of strength, and a golden dragon known for its sharpness and hardness and a symbol of indestructibility.

Two dragons, one black and one gold, met in mid-air.

Dragon's hand-to-hand combat is not like fancy humans, they are more pure and direct, but at the same time more dangerous and savage.

The dragon's body swelled several times, and the black dragon with bulging muscle roots collided fiercely with the golden dragon with a golden light all over its body and a cold light on its scales.

The sharp claws left traces on the opponent's dragon, and the hot dragon blood sprayed out along with large dragon scales. Two entangled dragons fell from the sky holding each other.

With a loud or low hiss of pain, it fell to the ground, inadvertently claiming the lives of a large number of soldiers on both sides.

Just as the two dragons were fighting hand-to-hand and spraying blood, on the high slope not far from the warring sides, a man standing on a handrail and a woman with hidden concern saw all this.

The man's long bright blonde hair was turned back by him, revealing a stern face as sharp as a sculpture. His name was Cesara, and he was the king of Ronan

And the woman behind her with long straight hair of light blonde, her pale blue eyes were full of melancholy, looking at the man's back, she couldn't help but lightly open her lips.

"King, why should we obey the demands of the Celts? This will only make us lose more, right? And you even agreed not to sign the oath, what if they repent? ”

"You're questioning me? Vellius? ”

Velius, who had been full of complaints, was defeated under the calm gaze of Cesar. She kept her head down and didn't dare to say anything. In this patriarchal society where the status of women is very low, the reason why she can obtain the status in front of her, and even participate in wars and political affairs, is all due to the men in front of her.

He could have taken the golden dragon Mongard from Vellius. It was undoubtedly easier and tempting to seize the golden dragon and become a dragon knight than to make her queen and give her rights, but he didn't do that.

Cesar sighed lightly when he saw that Villius was away from his gaze, and that he was afraid to say a word as a child who had made a mistake. With a slight tremor from Vellius, he stroked the windswept blonde hair on her forehead, then turned and explained calmly.

"We were meant to fight the Dornists. It's best to be able to bring the Celtics into the battle, even if the defeat is no different from the previous ending. ”

……

At the same time, on the battlefield of another Dorn. Adam, King of Adler, is discussing the same thing with Bach, King of Ryan.

Adam: "Of the three parties, the Dorn, the Ronan, and we, we are the weakest. Now the island United Nations in the Far East is on the move. In order not to be attacked by the time comes, both Ronan and I, Adler, must fight a decisive battle as soon as possible. Otherwise, we will definitely be in a dilemma and suffer heavy losses. ”

J.J.S.: "I understand that. What I don't understand is why the three of us are just making a verbal covenant. What about those Celts who repented without the binding of an oath? ”

Adam: "In this situation, it is impossible for our tripartite leaders to meet secretly and make oaths. And we don't need their oaths. All we need is to pass the word. If the Celts were tempted to appear in the territory of the Dorns at such times, then this is the best oath. Whatever happens next, the Dornish will remember that there is a beast behind them that covets him. Even if this encirclement and suppression fails, we are forced to retreat, and the initiative will return to our hands at that time. ”

……

On the other side of the battlefield, hearing Cesar's explanation, Velius showed an expression that seemed to understand.

Villius: "Are you saying that our whole army is attacking and launching an all-out war with the Dornians under the guise of starting an all-out war?" In fact, we are not trying to annihilate the Dorn? ”

Cesar: "No, no, no, it's true. It would certainly be a good thing to take advantage of this opportunity to uproot the Dornians in one fell swoop. ”

Villius: "Then you're not worried that when the time comes, we'll lose a lot and be picked up by the Celts?" ”

Velius' serious concern was met with Cesar's chuckle. She slapped Cesar's hand on top of her head angrily, and snorted dissatisfiedly.

Cesar looked at his petty wife in front of him, put away his hand that was stunned in mid-air, and touched his nose in embarrassment.

"I'm worried, of course I'm worried. And I know that the other side of the Lai Ai League is just as worried. It would be better to say that if the losses of both of us are not large, once the losses of both of us reach a certain level, I believe that we will become natural allies. When the time comes, it won't be so easy for the Celtics to eat both of us. Besides, blocking the back road will inevitably encounter the most fierce counterattack, and it is not yet known which side will suffer more losses when it falls. ”

Speaking of which, Cesara looked to the south, and if there was no accident in any direction, out of sight, the Ley-Eyre Alliance was engaged in a decisive battle with another Dornish army.

……

Adam: "It's us, Ronan, and Dorne fighting each other. The Celtics, as an external force that can determine the outcome of the battle, occupy a natural advantage. The initiative is in their hands. But after this battle, it is no more. If the war of annihilation is successful, we and Ronan will become natural allies. Even if this war of annihilation fails, we will be able to retreat more calmly than before.

And the Dorn, who are aware of the ambitions of the Celts, will also turn the finger at them. At that point, the initiative will pass to both of us. ”

Bach: "What if the Celts don't send troops?" What about even uniting the Dorn? ”

Hearing Bach's question, Adam looked at the battlefield in the distance and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"This brings us to the king of the Celts, Arthur. Sure enough, as rumored, he is a qualified knight with integrity, perseverance, and a heart for his people! Unfortunately, he was not a worthy king.

Is there anything perfect in the world? It is because of a lot of malice and helplessness that we want to desperately protect the beauty that is really worth protecting!

As a king, he was naïve. ”

As he spoke, the battle had come to an end, and the mages who had run out of energy were either killed or escaped back to the rear. The blades had been changed several times, and the exhausted soldiers were also waving their weapons mechanically, letting out a hoarse roar.

The two Dragons, who fell from the sky to the ground and flew from the ground to the sky, did not know how many soldiers on both sides were crushed, or they could not dodge, or they had already become corpses. No one knows how many unlucky soldiers were pretending to be dead and resting.

Adam: "Almost. Let's do it too. ”

Bach: "Okay. ”

……

Cesar: "You wait here. I'll come when I go. ”

Vilius: "Stay safe. ”

There was barely a long time apart, and the heads of the two sides, thousands of miles away, decided to end up in person.

Under their orders, the strong men who recuperated their energy and avoided being consumed by ordinary soldiers joined the battlefield one after another.

"Roar~~~"

The black dragon Kladika, who was originally fighting with the golden dragon Menggad, roared angrily, forced the other party back, and flew back to his position.

In a moment's effort, he returned with a topless majestic figure.

"Cesar! Today I want you to have no return. ”

Cesar, who had reaped several lives with the blade in his arm, raised his head when he heard the words, looking up at the burly figure who jumped down from mid-air and stared at the crowd, and whispered to himself helplessly.

"What a stroke of luck."

Cesar, with a serious face and a cold glint in his eyes, bowed down and rushed towards Drogo Ryan.

……

On the other side of the battlefield, Adam and Bach, who joined the battlefield, waited for all the leaders of the Dabu clan except Drogo Ryan.

Bitter Bundle with the ability to resist beasts, Shuofeng who is proficient in bows and crossbows, Helan, a new wizard, and Long Yao, who is good at marksmanship and horsemanship, these strong men with their own clan surnames have appeared.

In a deafening roar, the green dragon Abpheis, surrounded by black mist and blood, appeared. Seeing the green dragon whose body was faintly expanding several times and exuding a sense of explosive power, as well as Helan and Bitter Bundle hiding on the ground who kept casting spells at the end, Shuo Feng who bent his bow and arrows, and Long Yao who rode the earth dragon rushing towards him, Adam couldn't help but show a wry smile.

"What a stroke of luck."

Whispering about the difficulty of the battlefield on his side and the strength of the enemy, Adam drew two sharp scimitars from his waist. The two scimitars of the strange shape were joined together by him to form a crescent-shaped round weapon.

"Roar."

A loud dragon roared with lightning and thunder. Bach, who danced wildly with electric snakes, jumped on the back of the brontosaurus Hergrella, who was also known for his lightning power.

Amid the terrible howls of countless soldiers, the thunderous dragon Herculella obeyed Bach's orders and rushed towards the breathing green dragon Aboffis.

And on the ground, seeing the enemies on the other side staring at him, Adam couldn't help but sigh again, and rushed towards the oncoming Long Yao.

……

In a small border town between Celtic and the Kingdom of Dorne.

The leaders of Zheng Ming and his gang gathered in a dimly lit room. At the very front of them, a square curtain of light shone through the walls covered in ash and cobwebs.

This is the "spell" used by players whom Arthur and others call Strange People. It's nothing more than projection equipment on the technology side.

At this time, this fluctuating silent picture was divided into two parts, and the two battlefields far away occupied the left and right sides.

"It looks like the decisive battle has begun. We're going to start preparing, too. Go back and gather your men, and we'll attack as planned. ”

At Arthur's orders, the people of the house silently dispersed, each preparing for the upcoming raid.
