Chapter 178: War Begins



Three days later.

On the twenty-fifth day of the third month of an unknown calendar, at the border beach area of ​​the water tribe's territory.

Today is sunny and windless, perfect for admiring the vastness of the ocean, but also perfect for...

Attack the Aquatic Tribe.

At the border, a young human was sitting on a rock with his eyes closed. He clasped his hands together and listened to the conversation calmly. His expression was more serious than usual.

The sun was shining brightly, and Egbert was talking to the others with his eyes narrowed: "It's almost here."

The storm is coming, and the movement is too obvious.

Not long after the words fell, a dark scene appeared on the sea, and in the sky there were a large number of dragons that blocked out the sun.

In the sight, in the forest opposite the sea, a large group of land monsters with green eyes appeared silently.

Starting a war looks so easy.

But within three days, all the decisions that needed to be made had already been made, and all the monsters were moving forward on what they believed to be the right path.

Only humans choose to watch silently.

"We are very thankful at this time. After many experiments, Egg has finally figured out the ability to use the refraction of light elements to hide our tracks." Roy was holding his breath and couldn't let it go when he spoke.

The scene before me was too terrifying.

Whether they are transformed monsters or natural monsters, they rarely maintain their human form.

The monsters that have transformed into their original forms have not yet directly joined the battle, but everyone knows that once the battle officially begins, they will truly abandon everything that belongs to humans and fight like beasts.

"Admittedly, this method of using light elements can indeed help us hide our tracks, but whether it's the smell or the heat emitted by the body, these things cannot be disguised. We can only hope that the smell of the monsters after the battle is too chaotic and confusing to be easily identified. Otherwise, it's only a matter of time before we are discovered."

Egbert was not blindly confident. No one knew better than him that this way of using the element of light was essentially just a simple little trick.

If they think that this method can prevent them from being discovered by the monster, then we can only say that imagination is beautiful and reality is destined to be cruel.

However, before that, regardless of whether anyone discovered that they were in this corner or not, the first thing they encountered were monsters that were fully prepared for a fight.

Leia emerged from the sea, and the mermaid's appearance was very much like the legendary creature told by the bards, beautiful and dazzling.

With his appearance, a large number of aquatic monsters of various shapes also appeared on the sea. They looked up at the giant dragon in the sky with an expression of uncontrollable heaviness.

In previous battles with the Feathered Tribe, the Water Tribe rarely gained an advantage.

Compared to the power of the Beast Tribe, which clearly surpasses the basic level of the other two tribes, the conflict between the Water Tribe and the Feather Tribe is more like a fight between two weaklings.

Neither has absolute power to suppress the other, but both have different racial talents.

As long as the monsters living in the water hide in the deep sea, no matter how hard the other two tribes want to attack, they can only watch helplessly.

The same is true for the Feathered Tribe. Once the losses are too great, the survivors who don't want to fight anymore can just pat their butts and fly away, and the fighting will be forced to stop.

Compared to the beastmen who seemed awkwardly caught in the middle but had developed their strength to the extreme, at this moment, it was Leia who had the most complicated thoughts in her mind.

Suli, who had been watching this scene, retracted his gaze and said with an unchanged expression: "Since we know there is a high possibility of being discovered, we should be prepared to be exposed in advance."

"Although everything is unpredictable, as long as we are prepared in advance, we can face any changes calmly."

As Suli finished speaking, the image of Elvi flying in the sky with the giant dragon gradually became clearer.

Before this, they were like a dark cloud, rushing towards the sea at an extremely fast speed.

When the dragons were right in front of him, Suli suddenly understood why Leia had found it so difficult to control her desire to attack the dragons, and why she had ignored cooperation with humans and chose to take direct action.

The dragons looked terrifying, far beyond their original size.

The unicorn form of Barthalom only looks two or three times larger than an ordinary horse, while the dragon form of Elvi, when spreading its wings, the width of the dragon body alone is more than ten meters.

The other dragons may be slightly inferior, but the gap is not particularly large.

At this moment, taking a quick look and counting horizontally and vertically, one can roughly estimate that there are hundreds of dragons in this battle.

The aquatic monster standing on the sea surface looked like an ant at this moment.

It's really hard to compare.

But could Leia retreat into the depths of the ocean and never engage in battle?

This is obviously impossible. Compared with external battles, Leia is more afraid of the voices of rebellion against him from within the entire aquatic tribe, which will cause the mermaids to lose control of the entire aquatic monster tribe...

Bartholomew also stopped at the seaside.

Elvi, flying in the sky, did not transform into a human form. She looked at Leia from a distance. Her beastly facial features could not tell her emotions. She could only hear her voice coming from the sky: "Leia!"

"Today is the day when your water tribe will be destroyed. I will cut you into pieces and kill you completely!"

"Who can't say that?" Leia taunted back decisively, "You have lost one-third of your dragons, yet you still dare to lead your troops to attack the water tribe. People who know me would think you hate me deeply, while people who don't would think you are rushing here to kill all the dragons."

Leia snapped her nails, which were so sharp that they emitted a cold light, and the scales on the side of her cheek closed tightly.

"You can only take advantage of me with your words." Elvi calmed down instead, and no longer had the aggressive attitude that he saw from Leia at the beginning.

She first looked down. Compared to the giant dragon flying in the sky, the beast tribe led by the unicorn did not seem to have a very strong presence. Then she said, "The beast tribe has been preparing for who knows how many hundreds of years. Do you think the water tribe, which has always been the target, can still escape?"

Her words reminded the mermaid of what the Dark Saint had said before, the possibility of the Beast Tribe and the Feather Tribe uniting.

But the mermaid chose to grit her teeth and completely throw away all the thoughts that threatened to overwhelm her judgment.

"I don't know if it's possible or not, I'm just curious, how can you, a little girl who has only been transformed from a human to a monster for more than 200 years, think that you, who have grown to this level in such a short period of time, will not be targeted by the monsters?"

"I can still vividly remember what Barcelona and I did to kill you."

It didn't matter whether it was useful to sow discord or not. Leia only knew that after he said these words, no matter how calm Elvi and Barsalom appeared on the surface, they would be unhappy in their hearts.

If they are unhappy, the mermaid will be happy.

Elvi was indeed angry for a moment, but this momentary change of emotion was regarded by the giant dragon flying high in the sky as an emotion that did not belong to him.

Since it doesn't belong to you, what's the point of caring about it?

Elvi just sneered and said, "You can only talk big. What's more, even if Bartholomew teamed up with you to kill me, what would it matter? Now, it's not you who teamed up with him, but me."

"It's the entire Dragon Clan and the Beast Clan that are attacking the Water Clan. It's a force that an incompetent like you wouldn't dare to contend with no matter what!"

"Come to think of it, you don't know yet?" Elvi lowered his voice unconsciously.

After hearing this, Barthalom's eyes flashed and he scolded, "Don't say things that you shouldn't say? Elvi Bessim, the purpose of the beastmen choosing to support you is just to let you control one of the tribes, not to let you say unnecessary words."

Elvi looked at Barsalom coldly and said, "It's a union of dragons and beastmen. The cooperation between you and me is just to kill Leia. Don't worry about other things."

That being said, there is actually no tit-for-tat confrontation between dragons and unicorns.

Elvi ignored Barthalom and continued, "Leia, do you remember the battlefield where the Beast King appeared last time?"

That was a time when Elvi did not even exist.

Leia didn't understand why the dragon brought up this topic, but since the other party wanted to talk before the battle, he didn't mind using this time to observe the enemy's strength as much as possible.

"Why are you saying that? When the King of Beasts appears on the battlefield, you may not even have time to be born."

Elvi was not angry, but sneered: "After all, you don't know much about that time, right?"

"The king of the beasts has already become another kind of existence." Elvi calmly said, "Not long ago, I might have thought that it was unnecessary to attack the water tribe based on the current situation of the dragon tribe, but now I just think..."

Elvi's voice was unusually soft. "I just think you, a mermaid, will not survive today. No matter what happens, you have no reason to survive today."

After being seriously injured by humans that day, Elvi also wondered if he would die directly in that hilly area.

She was angry at herself for looking down on humanity again, and she hated herself for having made every effort to capture Sully, but in the end she was distracted by Sully's words.

All kinds of emotions kept lingering in his heart. Elvi, whose heart had suffered serious damage, uncontrollably vomited a block of blood mixed with heart fragments.

Will she die?

In the sunlight, Elvi felt his body temperature gradually dropping.

But in the end, she didn't die.

Because of the commotion in the hilly area, Ergonkin's monsters gradually came.

Just as Gabriel guessed at the time, Elvi was faced with only two choices: being killed on the spot or being handed over to the King of Beasts.

After confirming that the dragon was unable to move, the second possibility increased significantly. The beast of Ergonkin fed Elvi some medicine to prevent her from dying on the spot, then tied her up and took her to the area where the king of the beasts was.

Elvi was not afraid.

After reaching a cooperation with Bartholomew, the unicorn has returned, and the king of the beasts must have been aware of the cooperation between the dragons and the beasts.

As the manager of the dragon clan, Elvi did not think that he would be executed directly when he did not bring any benefits to the beast clan.

The result was just as expected, Elvi's wounds were treated and taken care of.

After confirming that she had recovered 80% of her strength and most of the elements in her body, and that she would not fall down easily, Barsalom brought her to the King of the Beastmen...

"That's not a monster at all. It's something indescribable! It's hiding in the darkness, fermenting infinitely, and eventually evolving into a complete monster!"

Surrounded by countless dark elements.

A tiger was lying in a dome that was ten meters higher than the dragon's territory and in a building environment that was more than twice as high.

A monster that was more than ten times bigger than Elvi in ​​dragon form was lying on a chair-like structure.

That is the throne, Bartholomew's attitude says so.

At that time, Elvi completely lost the strength to speak.

She could no longer think highly of herself and believe that the Beastmen must cooperate with the Dragons.

Joke!

It’s not necessary at all!

How could such an existence need the help of the dragon clan to restrain another clan? !

Countless dark elements obscured Elvi's vision.

But no matter how confused his thoughts were, the dragon's perception of power made him realize that these dark elements were not released by the King of Beasts, but for some reason, they gathered around the king, making his surroundings the place that dark elementalists wanted to reach throughout their lives.

Abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal abnormal!

Her thoughts kept clamoring, her brain frantically telling her that she needed to escape, needed to stay away, but in the end the only thing she could achieve was to kneel down uncontrollably, just like Barsalom kneeled on one knee.

Such an existence...how can we possibly resist it?

Such an existence is like having all the dark elements of the world around him.

Who will win?

Who can resist?

Elvie couldn't say anything.

The beast king said as if nothing unusual happened: "It seems that the dragon's manager is not as serious about this cooperation as I thought."

"Otherwise, how could you arbitrarily lower your weight in the eyes of your partners before the cooperation is even achieved?"

Elvi's back was covered in sweat, and at that moment, the dragon was speechless.

This is a monster, a monster from even longer than eternity past!

How can we resist! How can we fight against it?!

Barsalom knelt on one knee and said in a calm tone: "That pure human boy has the ability to seduce people. Lord Elvi just happened to have recently lost Lady Victoria, who is very important to him. Put the two together, and the human boy has seized the pain point and repeated it again and again. As long as Lord Elvi still has feelings, I think there is no way to completely ignore it."

"Is that so?" The voice of the Beast King seemed particularly empty.

No matter how much Barsalom wanted to remind Elvi, he didn't dare to do anything.

The unicorn could only wait for the dragon to break free from the demonic mental confinement.

It took Elvi more than ten minutes to get out of this state...

What exactly the King of Beasts was thinking during this silent time, neither the dragon nor the unicorn dared to think about it later.

However, facing the king of the beasts at that time, Elvi finally came to his senses and lived up to his demeanor as a dragon clan manager.

She said: "Humans are cunning and deceitful. I knew this but still gave him the opportunity to speak. I did make an unforgivable mistake. But since it is a mistake, it must be corrected. I will never let this mistake happen again!"

The monster, which was so large that the edge could not be seen at all when it was in Elvi's human form, laughed.

In just a moment, Elvi was soaked all over, as if he had been pulled out of the water.

"Since you've said so, I look forward to you capturing that human."

Elvi remembered what he had said to Barthalom before, that he needed to wait until the dragons recovered their strength before starting the war...

So ridiculous...

So small!

"No, I don't plan to implement the cooperation plan after capturing that cunning human." Elvi bit his tongue hard, letting the bloody taste and the pain on the tip of his tongue wake him up. "Instead of wasting a lot of time on capturing humans, it's better to get rid of Leia as soon as possible."

"Compared to catching a human, killing a mermaid is much more interesting than the former."

The beast king's expression could not be seen clearly, but Elvi heard him say later: "So that's what you think?"

Elvi once again fell into endless anxiety.

She knew that her emotions and thoughts were all affected inexplicably, but she couldn't control it.

Fear, terror, worry, confusion, all the manifestations that made Elvi powerless came together.

It was not until the words of the Beast King rang out that it seemed as if a gift was bestowed upon Elvian, who was in an extremely negative state, and her endless negative emotions were wiped out.

"Since you have a goal in mind, let's do it together with Bartholomew. I believe that you and Bartholomew can achieve the result I want, right?"

Elvi had no ability to deny.

By default, this is presented.

Afterwards, only when they were completely away from the tiger did Elvi collapse to the ground as if he had completely lost all strength.

The cold sweat on Bartholomew's body turned cold when the wind blew it. However, this unbearable and sticky feeling did not make him abandon the paralyzed Elvi.

The unicorn waited for a long time, but instead of Elvi getting back on his feet and leaving, Elvi collapsed on the ground and said, "You never, never said that the king of the beasts is that kind of person..."

Barsalom pursed his lips, then relaxed his expression and said, "Then what do you think I should say?"

"Or do you think I need to tell you this?"

Elvi accepted all the sarcasm and ridicule.

The dragon was just laughing, and the chuckle turned into a loud laugh, until it became more and more crazy and then everything stopped abruptly.

"I don't think so. I'm just glad you didn't tell me."

Even if the unicorn told her everything about the king of beasts, Elvie would not believe it without seeing it with her own eyes.

Now that he has seen it with his own eyes, Elvy is glad that Barcelona didn't say it.

Because of this, she had not paid much attention to the King of Beasts before.

Because there is no attention, there is not much emotion. Because there is no emotion, it appears calm.

So many things...

Elvi was sincerely thankful that he was still alive after seeing the king of the beasts with his own eyes.

After looking at Elvi for a while, Bartholomew saw that the dragon still had no intention of standing up, so he turned around and left.

From the perspective of Elvy lying down, he could only see Barsalom's back as he walked forward recklessly. The unicorn's warning words in the air had not completely disappeared.

"Don't think, don't look, don't understand, don't ask... This is advice."

Is it advice or a warning?

Or is there another meaning?

Now Elvi, who is flying above the sea, doesn't care. She just wants to scare Leia and let the mermaid know that even if the result is certain death, she still has to struggle like Chou.

"No beast, no beast can defeat such a monster!" The dragon's mouth twisted into a twisted smile, and her voice became softer, as soft as a lover's whisper: "Leia, don't worry, you will be no exception..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Elvi's figure in the sky completely disappeared.

The wind element, which was exerted to the extreme, allowed the giant dragon to teleport as if instantly. In the blink of an eye, it appeared in front of Leia.

The mermaid raised her hand calmly, and at that moment, Elvi could clearly feel the blockage of blood circulation in his body.

The blood that should have flowed through the blood vessels suddenly turned into millions of needles, constantly attacking the meridians in the body.

Elvi completely ignored the pain, turned his palm over, and a continuously compressed wind element ball collapsed and exploded directly in front of Leia's face.

In the blink of an eye, the mermaid's face was covered in blood and flesh and tissue flew everywhere.

Although all this seems bloody, to the monster, it is just a minor injury.

The leader had already started the fight, and the other dragons and aquatic creatures also joined in the fight in an instant.

Barthalom also led the land monsters that had transformed into their original forms and joined the battle.

Chaos, blood, and body parts.

The azure blue sea, reflecting the color of the sky, was gradually dyed red.

Like a fantasy dream.

Everything seemed so unreal, yet it was happening right before my eyes.

Suli followed the people around him and moved a long distance to a more marginal area before the boy let out a long breath.

The chaos faded away, the roars became quieter, and Roy's question, wrapped in endless worries, quietly rang out:

"Is what Elvy said... true?"

The author has something to say:

This chapter has a nice word count~
