Chapter 826 - Dragon Calamity Pt. 2 (1/2)
Chapter 826 Dragon Calamity Pt. 2
“Dragon… Dragon Calamity….”
Shock was written all over Crown Prince Theodore’s face. His entire body was trembling and the Marshall’s Sword shook violently. He could barely even bring himself to look at the dragons in the sky. In a shaky voice he said, “The prophet’s words were real… the Dragon Calamity is here. A tribe of dragons will descend from the skies, upon the earth where no light can reach. That marks the beginning for which the empire’s fate will come to an end. We’re done for… the Tian Ling Empire is really done for. The Dragon Calamity is real….”
One of the majors walked up to him and roared, “Your Highness, come to reason. You’re the marshall of three great armies. All of the soldiers are awaiting your orders. Are we going to battle, or will we retreat? What should we do?”
Theodore looked up at the mass of dragons and clenched his teeth before muttering, “How are we supposed to fight? Have we not lost enough people? Retreat. All men retreat. We aren’t on par with the Hybrid Demons. Give up. Save a few lives. Think of it as a favor given by the empire to the military. Retreat….”
The major was stunned, “Two of the armies are too far into the battle. Are we really retreating?”
Theodore suddenly pulled out his Marshall’s Sword and roared, “I am the marshall of the three armies. I am the crown prince, heir to the throne, my words are military orders. Are you questioning my authority?”
The major’s jaw dropped and he immediately knelt to the ground with his head bowed, “I was wrong Your Highness, please forgive your general! Your Highness, I ask for your forgiveness, I’ll immediately send the order for a retreat!”
The Flame Dragon Army was completely emasculated now and had no will to fight. The Royal Army on the other hand was full of courage and willpower. With the Flame Dragon Cannons and the Dragon Crystal Cannons aimed at the dragons in the sky, along with the assistance from the player groups, we overpowered the dragons one by one. Soon, over half of the thousand dragons were forced to the ground. Any close combat with them resulted in casualties. The city had at least 200,000 players left in battle. With a thousand people killing each dragon, that would already take care of 200 of them. The only issue was… that calculation was only in theory. The reality was that the player numbers were dropping at an incredibly fast rate!
“Charge with me!”
On the ground, a group of Hybrid Demons charged out. Luo Lin raised his blade and personally led the charge. The Imperial Guard quickly broke through our first lines of defense. In the next moment, Luo Lin’s army had reached the frontlines of the Flame Dragon Army. All of the nearby soldiers stood their ground. One of them roared, “Luo Lin, you traitor, die!”
Luo Lin coldly smiled and flames began to rise from his palm. Suddenly, he dashed forward and swept past the enemy. A sea of fire swallowed up the soldiers. The gap in their strengths was just too great!
A few of the soldiers immediately ran away and shouted, “Oh no, Luo Lin is advancing against our central army!”
Theodore looked up and leaped onto his horse. With his Marshall’s Sword raised, he rushed out of the central army and shouted, “Do not panic! Left and right flanks, draw close to the central army. Horsemen, hold off the enemy. Archers, do not let up on your attacks. Kill!”
As he said that, Theodore suddenly looked into the distance and shouted, “Where’s the Royal Army? Why haven’t they come to protect their marshall?”
Unfortunately, there were a dozen dragons raging in the center of the Royal Army lines. How would we have the time to provide support? Even so, I looked over to Xia Ye and said, “Take a division of troops to reinforce the Flame Dragon Army. Hurry, we can’t expose Theodore to any danger or else our Royal Army will be done for!”
Xia Ye understood the deeper meaning behind my words and gave a strong nod, “Yes sir!”
Before Xia Ye’s troop even arrived, Luo Lin’s army had already broken through the front lines of the human army. In one-on-one fights, the Hybrid Demon soldiers’ battle power far exceeded that of the Flame Dragon Army soldiers. The two sides were interlocked in an intense battle. Without the cover from the cannons, the Flame Dragon Army’s weakness was exposed and Luo Lin heavily exploited this fact.
“Boom!”
Flames unfurled in the crowd of humans and Luo Lin threaded his way through the human army. With a single punch, he dealt a powerful blow that turned the people into mush. He then spun around and threw a slash, cutting down a major.
“You b*st*rd!”
Theodore growled and swung his Marshall’s Sword. Luo Lin cackled and dashed forward. “Peng!” He punched the sword’s hilt, sending it straight back into its sheath. At the same time, he raised his boot and landed a kick right in Theodore’s abdomen. Theodore was just a spoiled young prince. His battle power was barely comparable with the Royal Army’s Han Yuan or Xiao Lie, how could he possibly stand up against this Hybrid Demon King tier attack? After retreating several steps, he vomited blood.
Luo Lin suddenly grabbed the Marshall’s Sword from Theodore’s hand and picked Theodore up by his neck to lift him up, “Is this the crown prince of Tian Ling City? Looks like you’re not even on par with the prince of Ba Huang City?”
Theodore roared, “Luo Lin, mar me or kill me, what’s the point of this humiliation?”
“Alright!”
Luo Lin smiled and pulled the Marshall’s Sword out with a “Keng!” All of the NPCs from Tian Ling City stopped dead in their tracks. A bloody head flew into the air and rolled along the ground.
Theodore died in battle!
My heart froze. Luo Lin had killed the marshall of our three armies with the Marshall’s Sword. The ridicule was too much!
