Chapter 31: The Siege (3)

The plan to dig up the top of the dragon is, undoubtedly, the countdown to the fate of the black dragon clan.

Although even if the top of the dragon is destroyed, the black dragon clan can still forcibly break through, and it will not directly appear as Richie said, and the complete extinction of the black dragon clan will not directly occur. Although the casualties are bound to be heavy, they are fully capable of ensuring the survival of some of the Black Dragons. However, after that, the Black Dragon Clan will become a rat-like existence across the entire Celtic Continent, facing endless pursuit from the Undead Clan. No sleep, no compromises. There is not even a possibility of surrendering and surviving.

In fact, in the absence of any reliable defenses, complete extinction is not far off.

Richie's hatred for the Black Dragons is almost visible to the naked eye, and no Black Dragon would believe that the fall of the Dragon's Top will soothe Richie's hatred for the Black Dragons. This result has become almost inevitable.

"What are we going to do? maybe...... Maybe we can surrender to him, repent of our mistakes, or even hand over all those who participated in the attack? ”

"They are all our warriors, attacking for the sake of our whole clan, and now you want to hand them over?

"That's better than our whole clan suffering, isn't it? if we don't even have a foothold, and the black dragon doesn't exist, what's the glory?"

"Are you crazy? The order was given by the Great Elder, do you want to hand over the Great Elder?"

The bell of doom has struck and the final countdown has begun. Fear quickly spread among the Black Dragons.

Although it is still at least a year before Richie digs down the entire top of the dragon at this time, this feeling is the most terrifying. Richie also seems to like to take advantage of this fear.

Almost at any time, as long as the black dragons looked down, they could see Richie standing on the cliff silently watching the top of the dragon, like a dormant beast, waiting for the moment to attack and tear apart its prey.

......

At the same time, the news of the undead besieging the top of the dragon also went viral on the mainland. Although the news spread far as it actually did.

Regarding the plan to besiege the top of the dragon, Richie did not inform the human lords. When it was carried out, it did not bring the human coalition army. Even during the siege of the Dragon's Peak, Richie gave up almost all interference in human affairs, as if the entire Bone Holy Light Holy See had vanished out of thin air.

After taking Black Dragon City completely, Richie and his army of the undead can almost be described as missing. Faced with a devastated battlefield, the human lords can be said to be at a loss.

It wasn't until three days after Richie's expedition that the human lords, including Irene, learned that the White Bone Holy Light Holy See was besieging the top of the dragon.

During this time, humanity can almost be said to be in a forgotten corner. The speed of getting messages is also extremely slow. Three days late, that's pretty fast. Under normal circumstances, the human lords would not necessarily get the news for five days. Because no one is ready to take the initiative to tell them at all.

"How can he do this!" To this, Irene was extremely indignant: "Don't tell us anything, just leave?"

"Didn't you say he wasn't the real Gray?" said Benedict II, beside him.

"Gray would never do that before, he would at least say hello to me. I thought the real Gray was back, but now it seems, it's not. ”

"Maybe you should think differently. ”

"A different angle?"

"Yes, from a different perspective. Benedict II spread his hands and said helplessly: "The gap between him and us may be greater than the gap between heaven and hell." We can't go where they go, and we can't participate in the wars they fight. Tell us the news, and it may leak out. ”

"I definitely won't. Irene said categorically.

"Who knows?" Benedict II raised an eyebrow: "Humans are fragile, compared to them, we are like weeds on the side of the road." I've heard that some psychic magic can directly manipulate humans. Their opponent is the Black Dragon, and I think they must have some similar approach. Tell us it's not good for him, it's not good for us. This is a war that we cannot participate in. Fortunately, our system is still sound, and we can manage ourselves without him. We can't control the final defeat of the Black Dragon, but we can at least go back and live our lives. Irene, war is not the norm. ”

This passage can be said to make Yilin lose her temper.

Despite being in a forgotten corner and news being very slow, there is still something after all. Of course, it may be slower than Richie pretending to be his father and writing to his mother.

At the same time, Jones also received a letter from Rich. In Richie's own voice.

......

"Dear Brother Jones: I think you already know what happened in Black Dragon City and Top of the Dragon. We are on the eve of a great victory. The Black Dragons will soon be wiped out, and all enemies on the Celtic continent will be wiped out. But, I must apologize for a sad message to inform you. A few months ago, our father, His Highness the Lich King, had a misfortune in the Valley of the Dragons. The shameless Black Dragons attacked him, and he disappeared after that. My father doesn't have a crate, and I still haven't been able to find his bones. Some people think that my father no longer exists in this world, but I think he is still alive after all. Or rather, I prefer to believe that he is alive. ”

"In order to successfully take revenge on the Black Dragons, I disguised myself as our father, and I have not announced what happened in the Dragon Valley to the public. Yes, for the past few months, I have been commanding the army of the undead in my father's name. Even our mother didn't know about it. You are my family and my only brother, so I choose to let you know at this moment when the situation is becoming clearer. ”

"I think you'll want a chance to avenge your father with your own hands. As his sons, we should all do the same. I'm waiting for you at the top of the dragon. Your brother, Richie. ”

When Jones received the news in Mega Snake City, he was completely stunned. My mind went blank. He flipped the envelope over and looked at it several times, and when he was sure that it was indeed Richie's seal, he sat down and his eyes widened dumbfounded.

He felt like he couldn't breathe......

After a while, Jones looked at the Lich Grimm, who was standing in front of him and had been sent by Richie to deliver the message, and asked, "Father...... Something happened?"

"Yes. Green nodded: "None of us expected this, but it did happen." ”

"Didn't you protect him?"

Lucy and Acleon were present, and both of them were beaten back into the Soul Crate. ”

"And what are you going to do?"

"Take revenge on the Black Dragons, as Richie is doing now. He is now the new Lich King, and has been voted on by the Holy See of the White Bone Light. ”

"So what can I do?" Jones asked, somewhat dazed.

"Hmm...... I don't know, maybe Richie wants you to witness that moment. Green replied.

......

Green is gone.

In the empty hall of the castle, Jones sat dumbfounded, his thoughts in a mess.

Dora stood next to him, blinking dumbfounded.

The castle hall was silent, save for the occasional shouts of dwarves and goblins from the outside.

Hydra Ophelia had long since lived in the castle hall, and Jones had arranged for a bigger and better residence for it.

In just over a year, Giant Snake City has long since ceased to be barren. Early dwarves and later goblins are building a sprawling city-state here. Although it is still far from being completed, the prototype has already appeared.

Although Jones is still just as poor. Even, poorer than the original, after all, he is now in debt. Feeding hundreds of thousands of goblins is not an easy task.

After a long silence, Jones whispered, "Leave this place to the barrel, everything is up to him." I have to go to the top of the dragon. ”

"But what if you go, Master Jones?" asked Dora.

"I can't do anything if I go, I can't even beat a black dragon, what can I do? Richie needs me. He must have been in the midst of extreme rage. I wasn't there when my father had an accident, and now I should at least be there. You'll have to come with me, I'm not used to it when you're not around. ”

Dora nodded silently and replied softly, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away." ”

With that, Dora had already left in a hurry.

Jones sat alone in the castle hall, reaching out to cover his face.

The blue moonlight shone diagonally through the window, shining on him.

That night, Jones and Dora had everything in order. I wanted to go immediately, however, the dawn had already arrived.

For the Bloodline, dawn is an unavoidable hurdle. Although Jones had armor to protect against the sun, he couldn't fly as a bat in the daylight.

If he had walked on foot, it could take him more than a year to reach his destination.

So, he had no choice but to rest for a day, and then set off with Dora the next night with their Silver Moon armor.

If only a lich could open a door to space for them at this time. It's a pity, no, and there is no one in Giant Snake City who has the ability to open the door of space. Even the entire blood clan does not have the ability to open the door of space.

From Snake City to Salted Fish Harbor, at the speed of Jones and Dora, it will take at least one night. It takes at least three nights to get to Black Dragon City. To the top of the dragon, it is even more distant.

Even after receiving Ritchie's letter, Jones immediately began to prepare, and set off the next night to reach the top of the dragon, which was still a week later.

On the way, he saw the tragic situation of Black Dragon City. At the top of the dragon, he saw the army of the undead who had gone berserk.

Most of the time, unless fighting or marching, the legions of the undead will stand still like statues. It's like it's really just a pile of dry bones.

After all, the undead don't need training, they don't need supplies, they don't need to rest. However, none of the undead at the top of the dragon are static.

Each of the undead has been assigned a mission, either patrolling or frantically digging the foundations of the Dragon's Peak, but it is a hot scene in the cold weather of the Northlands. Plus the almost ubiquitous fortresses, all kinds of fortifications......

The lichs are also enthusiastic one by one.

Jones was stunned.

He had seen a lot of undead legions, but he had never seen such an undead legion.

Richie still stands at the top of the cliff and looks out at the top of the dragon, commanding the army of the undead.

Stepping forward, Jones, dressed in the armor of the Silver Moon, walked in the direction of Richie under the guidance of the ghost.

......

"Who's that?"

"It should be Jones, the adopted son of the Lich King Gray. ”

"Gray, the Lich King, has an adopted son. ”

"Yes. It's a little vampire. ”

The black dragons in the top of the dragon whispered.

......

Step by step in front of Richie, just as Jones hesitated to salute solemnly, Richie had already hugged him.

"My brother, you're finally here!" said Richie, letting go of the hand that was holding Jones.

Jones tilted his head and looked at Richie in heavy armor, "You're taller than me, much taller." If I hadn't known that something had happened to my father, I might have thought you were him. ”

"I modified my bones so that I could wear my father's armor. ”

"But you weren't...... Is there flesh and blood?" Jones asked hesitantly.

"Now there are. Taking off his gloves, Rich showed Jones the sprouts growing from the bones of his hands: "I have to scrape them off regularly." ”

"Why would you want to do that?"

"Because I'm sitting in my father's seat now. ”

Glancing in the direction of the top of the dragon, Jones said softly, "Black Dragon City has been taken, and now you don't need to pretend to be your father anymore." Maybe you should think about getting back to where you are. ”

Richie hesitated, but did not answer.

After a moment of silence, Jones took the initiative to open his hands, and the two hugged each other again.

Gently patting Richie on the back, Jones said, "Is there anything I can do to help? Let me take care of it for you." This time ......"

"Help me...... I want to avenge my father as soon as possible. ”

"Okay, I'm good at this. I've dug a lot of tunnels in Giant Snake City, and I know very well how they will collapse. ”

......

"The lich has brothers...... Hmph, what should I say, when are angels and demons going to save us?"

"Who knows? Maybe tomorrow, maybe never. I wish I had woken up and found that it was nothing more than a nightmare. ”

"That's what I thought, too. I've slept several times, and every time I wake up, it's worse than it should be. ”

The black dragons looked blankly at the two embracing each other on the cliff.
