Chapter 52 of the Ending Chapter 52 The Mourning Soldiers Will Win
Compared to the human griffin, the orc Twin Dragons, the natural elves' Pegasus, and the dark elves' manticore-tailed flying lions, among the flying mounts and monsters domesticated by the Olopa, the dwarven snakewings are the largest and have the largest load.
Therefore, the reason why these 55 snakewings flew slowly was largely due to the fact that they were too heavy, and when the special meteor hammers used to release the fire beetles were consumed in large quantities, the relieved snakewings flew at a great speed, and in a short time they had reached the sky above the raiding fleet.
But instead of fighting tens of thousands of harpies in the sky, the Serpentwings and the dwarven warriors on their backs still maintained ultra-low flights, hunting the hideous Karaken.
Snakes are always the nemesis of frog creatures. Even though the fire beetles were almost exhausted, the Snakewings were very efficient at destroying the "skinned frog monsters" like Karaken. I saw the snake-winged beast swoop down from the air, fluttering like a dragonfly and quickly pulling up the sea surface, and with each dive, the snake-winged beast opened its exaggerated blood plate mouth, swallowed a Karaken directly, swallowed it into its stomach and let the corrosive stomach acid digest it.
A round of dives of 55 snake-winged beasts devoured 55 Karaken, the number is a little less, but out of fear of natural enemies, in front of a large number of flying giant snakes, even if the number is overwhelming, Karaken still shows extreme panic, they either turn around and run away, or stay in place in fear, becoming the rations of the snake-winged beasts, even if a very small number of Karaken rarely overcome the fear in their hearts and make some counterattacks, but under the targeted protection of the dwarven warriors, Karaken's sharp tongue cannot penetrate the thick snake scales at all.
The human soldiers in the naval fleet below could feel from the snake-winged beasts flying over their heads that the dwarven warriors had joined the war with great grief and hatred. Homes were destroyed, leaders were assassinated, and compatriots were slaughtered...... The anger of the dwarven warriors was compressed into every move, and no one doubted the determination and will of the dwarves to not give up until Karaken was completely wiped out.
At this time, what these human soldiers have to do is to cooperate with the air force of those dwarves as much as possible, chase down and annihilate the scattered Karaken Legion, and take back the sea dominance that was almost lost!
......
The vengeance legion sent by the dwarves was not limited to the 55 snake-winged beasts and the 110 dwarven warriors on their backs.
Long before the war began, several ironclad turtle ships sailed from Techino quietly approaching the western coastline of St. Pope's Island. The Ironclad Turtle Ship is a special transport vessel made by the Dwarves, resembling a giant steel tortoise, moving far less fast on the surface of the sea than ordinary human warships, and is not equipped with any weapons, so it is impossible to participate in any naval battles, but the unique advantage of this strangely shaped ship is that the Ironclad Turtle Ship can dive to the bottom of the sea for a short time.
Due to the early deployment of the Miracle Navy to the east, leaving the entire western part of Holy Pope Island defenseless, and the ironclad turtle ships sinking to the bottom of the sea as they approached the coastline, the thin defenders of the western coastline were not aware of the approaching enemy...... By the time they could react, the western coastline had been overrun by thousands of dwarven warriors. The Dwarven Legions that captured the western shore of Pope Island did not set up camp in place, but sent their fastest mobile reaction force, the Flamingo Cavalry, all the way to the east in the direction of the Holy City.
The dwarven kingdom of Tiechino, located in the southern part of the Moren Continent, is not all of the volcanic terrain, and in the southwest of the Moren Continent, it is a large dense primeval forest. Ash from the regular eruptions of active volcanoes drifts over, bringing abundant fertilizer to nourish the forest. The flamingo is a large land chocobo that grows in this primeval forest, and although its wings have deteriorated and it has completely lost its ability to fly, its long and strong legs allow it to run fast on land.
The dwarven warriors tamed the flamingos as their mounts and combat companions, and although the flamingos were far inferior to human horses and camels, and not to be compared to the unicorns of the nature elves, even compared to the slower wolves of the orc tribe and the blood lizards of the dark elves, the flamingos were the most tenacious compared to the land riding creatures domesticated by other races, even if they did not eat or drink. I ran for days and nights without stopping, and I didn't see much sign of exhaustion.
Relying on the durability of the flamingos, the dwarven cavalry traveled from city to city, village to village, and from west to east across the entire island of the Holy Pope.
Although the towns along the route were organized by the defenders to resist and block, as at sea, most of the troops in the western and central interior of the Holy Pope Island were transferred to the east to reinforce the Holy City, and the number of defenders left behind in the original camp was too large to withstand the onslaught of the dwarven cavalry. When the terrestrial giants struck the dwarven warriors with their fiery red feathers and well-armed Mithril armor and weapons on their backs, the defenders who stood in the way were met with only one-sided slaughter, and then trampled over their corpses by the flamingo's wide claws.
After a continuous march day and night, the first group of Flamingo cavalry, a total of more than 40 people, under the leadership of Spiruk Iron Furnace, had rushed to the front of the siege weapon position set up outside the city by the siege troops of the original Pole Kingdom. The dwarven warriors turned a blind eye to the abandoned siege slingers and heavy crossbows, and they saw weapons made by other races as children's slingshots compared to the Mithril weapons they had crafted, and they simply didn't have time to care about these unguarded siege weapons. Hatred and grief filled their chests, and the indomitable momentum showed the determination and will of the dwarven warriors to take revenge!
This is the so-called "mourning soldiers will win"!
The mad Truth Society will soon bear the fire of vengeance from the dwarves!
However, will things really go so smoothly?
"Boom--"
Just as the dwarven cavalry troops rushed to a distance of less than 100 meters from the gates of the Holy City, a loud bang was heard on the ground without warning, and a huge sinkhole with a diameter of more than 20 meters suddenly collapsed on the ground.
Quick-eyed, Spiruk harnessed his own flamingo mount and hurriedly ran sideways to dodge, but the other clansmen around him were not so lucky, and even the birds fell into the pit.
Immediately afterward, countless plant branches and vines grew from the crater, entwining the dwarven warriors and flamingos who were desperately trying to get out of the soft mud.
Since the Dwarven Legion had landed before the battle began, how could the Order of Truth, as the true ruler of Holy Pope's Island, be unaware of it? They quietly prepared a great gift for these Dwarven Legions who had come to take revenge.
