In the chaos of the battlefield, Richie charged back and forth with the Silver Moon banner held high, and the only guards around him were the guardian angel Delia, the seductive demon Sarina, and if anything, it was probably the two-headed bone dragon Andrevich and Alex Rahan hovering in the sky, following him.

He mounted his tall bone horse and was fully armed, but among the black dragons and giant elephants around him, it looked as if he could be smashed with a slap.

August's eyes widened, and beads of sweat slipped down his forehead: "He's seducing me?"

There is no doubt that this moment will be the best moment to kill this "Gray" in front of you.

The black dragon girl next to her looked at Augustberg cautiously.

Richie was still holding a long sword, interspersing and galloping back and forth on the battlefield. In this big battle, Richie's combat effectiveness cannot be considered strong, but it is by no means weak. The sword stabbed out and broke through the dragon scales, especially the sudden blow under the cover of a large number of undead.

In the blink of an eye, a black dragon had fallen under his sword.

Unlike before, the tide is now starting to turn in favor of the undead. The black dragons are being crushed head after head. Richie, who was not strong in the first place, is becoming the last weight to reverse the situation.

The Southern Coalition forces, which had been demoralized a little because of the casualties, had already begun to cheer for Rich.

Augustberg was trembling slightly even for breath.

This is undoubtedly a tangled moment.

The enemy's commander is in front of him, almost undefended. Even if there are a large number of reinforcements in the rear, it is possible to kill the opponent in one fell swoop by fighting desperately. After all, if you move fast enough, it will not be so easy for the other side to retreat.

As for if the other side does not have a large number of reinforcements behind them, then even more so. With a single order, the victory can be set.

However, if the other party did not have a large number of reinforcements, and he did not dare to give the order to attack, it would have lost fifty elite Black Dragon Clansmen in vain......

"Do you want to send someone again?" asked the Black Dragon Maiden in a low voice.

Gritting his teeth, Augustburg finally whispered, "No." ”

The black dragon girl's eyes widened, and she stared blankly at Augustberg, as if she wanted to object, but she didn't say anything. After a while, I don't look away.

......

Time passed bit by bit, and when the sky was gray, all fifty black dragons on the battlefield were defeated. It's the way to get stuck and then wear off the power little by little.

At the same time, the outermost city walls were also breached by the Southern coalition forces, of course, with the help of the undead. Gustav's army lost its positions at the forefront.

This was the result of the all-night battle on the first night of the arrival of the Confederate forces.

The lords of the south smiled one by one. Although it paid a heavy price, at least it won, didn't it?

"We should take advantage of the victory, they don't have much defense. If we can break through the first layer of the wall, we can break through the second layer!"

Richie replied lightly: "No, truce." ”

"Why? We've won a great victory! Gustav has no way to fight back!"

"The war has just begun. Glancing at the lords, Richie whispered, "The Black Dragon is our real opponent, and the Gustav army has never been something we need to consider. ”

With that, Richie turned and left, leaving the lords standing there one by one.

Someone whispered, "I think His Highness the Lich King has changed, he is not the same as before. In the past, when we asked questions, he would always patiently explain them to us. Right now...... After a night of fighting, we had absolutely no idea what he wanted to do until the last minute. ”

"So you mean he's become reticent?"

"No, it's become mysterious. He put the mask back on and became more mysterious than before. At least I couldn't figure out what he was thinking. Of course, I still believe that he can lead us to the final victory. It's just that it may be different. ”

The lords were talking.

Benedict II and Irene watched from afar as Richie departed.

Benedict II whispered, "Irene, remember what you told me at Mangis?"

"Yes. Ireen nodded.

"Do you still think so?"

"Of course. ”

"I ...... too More and more convinced. I just can't figure out why. As he spoke, Benedict II turned his head to look at the tents in the distance, all of which were inhabited by lichs.

......

Richie did not give the order to attack the second layer of the wall, on the contrary, he ordered the army to rest in place.

Not only that, but he also allowed the army to celebrate. The soldiers brought out the wine and put it on the feast, and the laughter could be heard clearly even in the city.

Of course, only in the rear, the soldiers at the front are still in full position. Only when they are swapped to the rear can they celebrate with impunity.

This kind of move must have been a blow to Gustav's morale.

The real blow is yet to come, though.

Black Dragon Ridge didn't kill a single one.

He took all fifty black dragons captive, sent undead soldiers to tie them up one by one, and then stabbed them with long knives, cutting off their bones and flesh. Make them completely incapacitated. Then open in a row in front of the city walls for all to see.

Some soldiers even stood on top of the black dragon's head to pee......

Not only that, but Richie also allowed the soldiers to hang the black dragon's huge tail up, allowing them to get a closer look at some of the dragon's organs to satisfy their curiosity......

Soldiers were allowed to use sharp knives to dig up the scales of the black dragons and take them home as souvenirs......

"He's humiliating our people! This is even more excessive than killing them!" The black-haired dragon girl who had been staying by Augustberg's side was furious: "We can't just watch like that!"

"Yes, but what should we do? It's a very obvious trap. Augustberg replied softly.

Standing at the top of the castle tower that had just been conquered, connected to the first wall, Richie exclaimed, "Black dragons, I know you're in this city! I knew from the beginning! I want to tell you that you're just a bunch of undignified lizards! I'm going to torture you all to death! Yes, you're going to be tortured to death! And then I'm going to make a specimen and put it in a museum, or in a park for people to see! Because you don't deserve to live in this world! You don't even have the courage to appear in front of me!"

The black dragons all hated it one by one, but they were helpless.

"Men of Gustav's capital! I hope you will know exactly what kind of people your so-called allies, or masters, are! They are nothing but my defeated men! If you are determined to stand with them, you will end up like them! If you are willing to surrender now, I will grant you mercy and forgive you for your past sins! After the war, you can still live here as free. If this opportunity is missed, then ...... Whatever your status, you will only be able to pray to me to let you die a happy death!

With that, Richie had turned away from the top of the castle tower.

The populace of Gustavus, the soldiers, listened in a daze.

Both Irene and Benedict II were stunned. Those southern lords were also shocked one by one.

By the time Richie said this, it was already noon.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, a group of Gustav's soldiers had already climbed over the walls and tried to escape. However, before they could enter the control of the Southern Alliance, between the two walls, they were all shot by Gustav's archers on the rear walls.

At two o'clock, another group of soldiers mixed with some civilians tried to flee over the wall. Most of them died under the cold arrows of the rear, and only a small part reached the area controlled by the Southern Coalition.

Immediately afterwards, at three o'clock, a part of Gustav's soldiers rebelled and took direct control of one of the walls. There was a fierce battle between the mutinous side and the side that firmly supported Emperor Gustav.

Benedict II hurried to Richie and said, "Do you want to send troops to support them? ”

"No, let them figure it out on their own. Our focus was never on taking the first few walls. Richie just stood on the wall and watched quietly.

At nightfall, there is turmoil in almost every corner of the city, and fires are rising into the sky. Every now and then, someone crosses the walls and enters the area controlled by the Southern coalition.

After last night's battle, especially after being destroyed by giant elephants, the first wall was already in tatters. There was rubble everywhere, and there was charred earth everywhere.

However, at this moment, the rest of Black Dragon City was already worse than the breached city walls.

The situation is completely out of control, there are cries everywhere, screams everywhere, fights.

In the face of the Southern coalition forces, the morale of the Gustavus army, and the civilian population was much, much lower than expected. After all, in the past, the black dragon's control of Gustav was through the royal family, through secret manipulation. Who would really obey the black dragon that suddenly appeared, especially after the heavy losses in the first battle.

In the original perception of humans, the black dragon was a dark creature like a lich. The reputation of the lich in the south was whitewashed by Gray, but not by the black dragons of the north.

By the next morning, at dawn, Gustav's army in Black Dragon City could be said to have completely collapsed. A large number of civilians rushed out and entered the shelter of the Southern coalition forces. Many of them were Gustav's soldiers in disguise, and many were even firmly on the side of Emperor Gustav at the beginning of the turmoil. But what does it matter?

Richie just arranged for a few lichs to sweep the people who had left the city one by one with their mental power. All he paid attention to was whether there was a black dragon lurking inside.

"Our enemies have never been humans. Richie repeatedly emphasized.

All of a sudden, the entire Black Dragon City became empty, uninhabited, and littered with rotting corpses. Except for the few humans who didn't want to leave for various reasons, only the black dragon disguised as a human was left.

Yes, the Gustav Empire collapsed, and before the last moment, the Gustav Empire, which is known as the most powerful empire of mankind, collapsed directly. People don't even know where his emperor, and the members of the royal family, have gone. In the face of the power of the White Bone Holy Light Holy See, the country composed of human beings is so fragile.

Black Dragon City has become an empty city, and the next strategy has begun to become very "bland".

Richie gave the order to advance little by little, without haste or impatience. Using the fifty black dragons on hand, day and night, he humiliated the black dragon clan in various ways. Do whatever it takes.

That means, not only the black dragon can't stand it, but even the people on the side of the Southern Coalition Army can't stand it.

For example, Halls in Irene's camp: "I can't believe that the Paladins ordered these things to be done. Even though he's already the Lich King, I'm used to calling him Paladin-sama. At least the Paladin-sama I know would never do such a thing, and he respects his enemies with great respect...... Of course, it can also be understood as his punishment for the evil forces. But I think it's a bit too much. ”

Hall was clearly not likely to interfere with Rich's decision. Not to mention Halls, even Irene, even all the Southern Lords combined, there is no way to interfere with Richie's decision.

They had just seen the collapse of humanity's most powerful empire.

If before, they admired and admired the Lich King more, but now, there is an element of fear in this. There's even more to fear.

There is also an opinion, and Camilla: "He doesn't seem to be the Lich King I know anymore...... The Lich King I know is not like that. He would never do such a thing. ”

While all kinds of complaints are flying, Richie's authority is growing little by little.

Of course, he didn't care, in his eyes, there was always only the black dragon. It's always that cold look.

Half a month after arriving in Black Dragon City, the Undead Legion and the Southern Alliance Army had completely controlled all the defenses on the periphery of Black Dragon City, besieging the entire city-state. No one knows when Richie will launch a general attack.

On the day of the successful siege, Richie finally executed the fifty black dragons he had tortured to death.

That night, Augustberg finally made a decision: "Break out and get out of here." Gustav has completely collapsed, and there is no point in us staying here. Now what we have to do is to get out of here safely and return to the top of the dragon. ”

"Why didn't you make a decision sooner?" the black-haired dragon girl asked, "If we're leaving, we should have done it sooner." We shouldn't even have come in the first place. ”

"He's been provoking us, and that makes me wonder. Augustberg covered his forehead and said, "I don't know how to express it." ”

"He wants us to put in as many people as we did to fight him head-on. He wanted a decisive battle. ”

"But don't you think he's doing it too obviously, and if he wants to fight a decisive battle, he should surround Black Dragon City at a faster pace. It took fifteen days. The point is, we haven't really seen a single lich until now. Only himself, he is like a flowing bait, shaking in front of us every day. It's as if we could take him down as soon as we make a move. ”

The dragon maiden watched Augustberg silently.

After a long silence, Augustberg said softly: "Break through, give up here." Notify the Dragon's Peak to answer. ”

"Yes. The dragon girl replied softly.
