Chapter 116: art 11)

  The battle on the right-wing battlefield abruptly ended with the surrender of the nobles, leaving only pyers pursuing the fleeing soldiers. Meanwhile, on the front battlefield, a fierce fight involving tens of thousands of troops and two colossal beings tinued.

  "Roar—"

  The chimera’s three heads roared in unison.

  The dragon head breathed scorg fmes, knog down anle Guard in front of it.

  "Monster, die!"

  Aiden, ander of the First Regiment of the Northwind Eagle Guard, shouted as he thrust his spear into the chimera’s goat head.

  With a shrill wail, the goat head rose high, spraying fresh blood.

  This three-headed beast had already killed over a dozen of his men, and he desperately wao kill the chimera, to the point of ign the threat from above.

  However, just as Aiden thrust his spear, excited shouts and a reverberating dragon roar sounded behind him.

  "Noodles, go for a Dragon Roar Charge!"

  "Two thousand XP, here I e!"

  There was the sound of metal g, followed by the faint sound of pierg flesh.

  A nce over six meters long directly impaled Aiden, who was still in his spear-thrusting stance, along with his eagle, with terrifying power that even the fi armor couldn’t withstand from a dive at such heights.

  Aiden, ander of the Northwind Eagle Guard’s First Regiment, died at the hands of a pyer.

  The words "You gained 2100 XP" refreshed on Mantou’s s.

  "Whoa, just one-shotted ae!"

  Mantou shook off Aiden’s body and cheered before asding with his wyvern once again.

  In the and camp, Robert observed the increasingly inteuation, sweat stantly trig down his forehead, whether from tension or heat.

  He wiped his face with a luxurious silk cloth and spoke gravely to the aide beside him: "This ot go on."

  "At this rate, the soldiers won’t hold out for much longer."

  "We o break the stalemate."

  The aide pondered briefly before asking, "You mean…?"

  Robert replied in a low voice, "Go and request Lord Shroud’s intervention to support the frontline forces."

  The aide was shocked. "But didn’t you say that Lord Shroud shouldn’t intervene uhe red dragon appears?"

  Robert said, "Our only remaining trump card is the Dragon-Syer Crossbow. If Lord Shroud doesn’t support the front lines, I don’t know how much longer our army hold."

  His voice paused.

  "Aiden has already sacrificed himself."

  "Yes, my lord."

  The aide uood and quickly nodded, going to request the chief mage’s assistance.

  Soon, a man in a gray robe arrived at the front line under heavy guard from the allied forces. He was the Gray Hawk of the Are Hermitage, and the chief court mage of the La Duchy—Shroud.

  The armeneral standing beside him respectfully spoke:

  "Lord Shroud, this is the situation."

  "We hope you use yic to support the front-liroops."

  Shroud looked at the distant, g monsters fighting the allied forces and spoke hoarsely, "The red dragon’s fme-spawned kin, huh…"

  "Uood."

  He gazed at the high ground filled with dragon-blood monsters, narrowing his eyes slightly as he raised his staff.

  【Ice Storm】

  Instantly, rge clusters of icy clouds appeared in the sky. Small ice shards began to fall, gradually f hail, and then dropping rock-hard ice ks.

  The hail struck the dragon-blooded monsters, not only battering them but alsing a pierg cold.

  "Bang!"

  Hail hit a dragon-blooded lizardman, slowing its movements as the formerly scorg dragon blood cooled until it turned into an unmoving ice statue.

  Simir ses tinued across the high ground as monsters scrambled to escape, many freezing into statues in their fleeing postures.

  These creatures, bearing the blood of the fiery red dragon, would rather die in battle than freeze to death uhis spell.

  "Damn, it’s Ice Storm!"

  Unfortunately, Dolo was also caught at the spell’s ter.

  Although he used his Bloodfire Battle Axe to block the falling hail, his movements became increasingly sluggish, his blood growing cold.

  Realizing the danger, Dolo roared with all his strength:

  "Langpu! Are you dead back there?!"

  "There’s a spellcaster oher side!"

  "Boom!"

  The ground shook violently.

  The six-meter-tall dragon-blooded ogre used a flying spell to reach the front line, nding with a tremendous crash.

  Though Dolo and he had many disputes, he couldn’t let him die here without fag sequences from their master.

  With that in mind, Langpu nontly adjusted his gold-rimmed gsses and raised his wand, which looked like a toothpi his hand.

  【Wall of Force】

  An angled, invisible wall of force appeared above the high ground.

  The falling hail was deflected by the wall of force, casg down onto the allied forces’ formation instead.

  Instantly, screams erupted from the allied troops, casualties mounting.

  Shroud’s expression ged dramatically as he quickly cast Shield to block the ining hail.

  The soldiers guarding him weren’t as fortunate, either beied to death by the hail or frozen into statues.

  Shroud retreated to the back of the formation with Misty Step.

  Staring at the invisible force wall in mid-air, he muttered, "Damn it, that’s Wall of Force. Only Disie destroy it. They actually have such a high-level spellcaster."

  Disie was a sixth-tier spell, and even Shroud was helpless against the force wall.

  Meanwhile, on the monster side, Dolo panted heavily, gritting his teeth and "thanking" loudly:

  "Langpu, you sure arrived just in time. I nearly froze to death in that spell!"

  His tone grew angrier.

  "I’m risking my life out here on the front line, and you’re o be seen in the rear!"

  Langpu looked down on the hobgoblin disdainfully, his tone calm: "ander Dolo, sider this—you're leading Nort’s most elite troops, a you’re ered by mere humans."

  Langpu’s tone was tinged with mockery.

  "You once said you’d crush them easily. Those were your words, so I gave you the ce to perform. But look at you now—why do you need my rescue?"

  "Langpu, you…"

  As Langpu sneered, Dolo’s face flushed with anger, but he had al, swallowing his frustration in silence.

  Langpu looked out over the battlefield, raising his staff slowly.

  "Watch closely. This is what crushing them effortlessly looks like."

  【Wall of Fire】

  A wall of fire spanning dozens of meters erupted across the battlefield.

  Merciless fmes ed the unsuspeg allied soldiers, filling the air with cries of agony.

  Meanwhile, bearing the red dragon’s bloodline, feared nothing as they surged through the wall of fire, pursuing the hapless, burning enemies.
