Volume 4 Chapter 170
by Need_More_SleepVolume 4 + Chapter 170: Elly, Charge!
“Why are the Dragon Clan here?”
“Yeah, aren’t they supposed to be in the rear?”
“Could this all be the general’s orders?”
The elven soldiers were utterly stunned when they saw the Dragon Clan appear on the battlefield.
Kennedy’s subordinates were also thrown into confusion by this sudden turn of events, because it was the complete opposite of what had been agreed upon from the beginning.
By Kennedy’s own explanation, the Dragon Clan had no reason to rush to the front, they should have been holding the rear and blocking the Vampire Clan’s reinforcements.
“General, what is going on here?!” one of Kennedy’s aides asked urgently.
“Th-this…?!”
Even Kennedy himself could not give an answer. He froze in place.
“Don’t let the Dragon Clan get close to the gate, hold the gate!!”
When the Vampire Clan soldiers discovered the Dragon Clan, panic spread through their ranks. Still, commanders who reacted quickly issued orders at once.
The Vampire Clan soldiers surged toward the Dragon Clan, attempting to block their path.
“Counterattack. Crush the enemy.”
A slightly youthful voice issued the combat order to the dragons.
The Dragon Clan soldiers let out thunderous roars, the shockwaves causing both the elven soldiers on the ground and the Vampire Clan soldiers in midair to freeze in place under the sonic pressure.
The giant dragons gathered dragonfire and unleashed it in unison.
Pillars of flame swept across the battlefield, carving savage trenches into the earth. The searing fire incinerated the Vampire Clan soldiers in an instant, reducing them to ash under the unbearable heat.
Before the Dragon Clan, even though the Vampire Clan soldiers held the numerical advantage, they were far too fragile compared to the colossal dragons. The dragons smashed through them with sheer physical force alone, pulverizing entire clusters into bloody paste, crimson splashing across the ground like night-blooming flowers of gore.
Once the massive Dragon Clan descended upon the battlefield, they transformed into terrifying engines of war.
After a full day of brutal fighting between elves and Vampire Clan, both sides had already suffered heavy losses. At this point, no one could possibly stop the Dragon Clan. Harvesting the battlefield was effortless for them.
Kennedy was furious.
Victory had already been within his grasp. Even if the Dragon Clan had never appeared, the war’s outcome would still have belonged to the elves. So why, why at this very moment, did the Dragon Clan emerge to ruin everything and shatter his plan?!
Kennedy raised his head and saw, among the dragons, a silver-haired young girl standing atop a massive green dragon.
She was none other than the Silver Dragon Princess of the Dragon Kingdom, Xia Yi · Christie.
“Silver Dragon Princess, what is the meaning of this?!”
Kennedy shouted upward, questioning Xia Yi.
“Why did you rush to the front battlefield without notifying us? Your sudden appearance will disrupt our original plan!”
Xia Yi seemed unable to hear the voices from the ground. She did not even glance downward, her gaze fixed solely on the distant gate.
Kennedy could not understand how such a childish-looking, foolish little girl could make a sudden decision to lead the Dragon Clan in a surprise assault on the main battlefield.
Why did the Dragon Princess dare to tear all pretenses away from him like this?
What he found most unacceptable was that Xia Yi’s target appeared to be the gate itself.
If that truly happened…
The elven general, who had painstakingly schemed and managed everything up to this point, could not accept such an outcome. In his design, the Dragon Clan were supposed to be stepping stones for the elves, but now, after a full day of bitter fighting, it was the elves who looked more like stepping stones for the Dragon Clan!
No, this absolutely could not be allowed!!
Kennedy panicked completely and bellowed at the top of his lungs, “Silver Dragon Princess! Order your troops to stop immediately! The Dragon Clan are no longer needed here, leave it to us elves!”
The distance between Kennedy and Xia Yi in the sky was far too great, his voice clearly failing to reach her.
“Crush every enemy that stands in our way,” Xia Yi issued another command to all Dragon Clan soldiers. “I am launching a charge on the Vampire Clan’s gate. I will personally break it.”
“Everyone, clear a path for Her Highness!” the Dragon Clan soldiers roared in exhilaration.
The dragons began using brutal force, sweeping aside every Vampire Clan soldier blocking their advance, tearing open a massive breach in the black ranks.
In this situation, even the elven soldiers had no choice but to retreat hastily, fearing they would be caught in the carnage and lose their lives.
Thus, an unobstructed path was laid out before Xia Yi.
“Elly, charge!” Xia Yi pointed her small hand toward the gate at the far end.
“Yes, Your Highness!”
The green dragon unleashed a terrifying shockwave that spread across the battlefield, blasting Vampire Clan soldiers into the air. Like a living cannonball, she launched a thunderous charge straight at the Vampire Clan’s gate.
At the sight of this, the Vampire Clan defenders atop the gate were terrified into stupor. The green dragon was like an approaching god of death, many could barely withstand the pressure and collapsed to the ground.
“Hurry! Deploy the magical barrier, stop the Dragon Clan!!”
On the city wall, the defending commander Oune still retained his fighting spirit. He roared to awaken his subordinates and resumed directing their resistance.
“All mages, anyone who can still move, pour all your mana into the barrier! Run it at maximum output! We absolutely must not let the Dragon Clan destroy our magical shield!!”
The mages sprang into action, channeling all their mana into the magic array sustaining the barrier.
In an instant, an invisible shield enveloped the entire gate, suffused with pitch-black darkness, becoming an apparently indestructible super-barrier.
“Holy Sword, Gram!”
The holy sword crest on the back of the silver-haired girl’s hand lit up as she summoned her old companion.
Sword intent surged skyward, and the holy sword gleamed in response.
Xia Yi raised her blade and delivered a decisive slash toward the barrier.
Before everyone’s eyes, a golden streak of light over a hundred meters long descended from the sky, piercing through and shattering the magical barrier.
The barrier had been the gate’s final line of defense. Once the Vampire Clan lost it, the outcome was already decided.
The Vampire Clan soldiers began to tremble, no longer able to continue resisting.
“Damn you, Dragon Clan!!”
Only Oune lifted his weapon and charged toward Elly, determined to make one final struggle.
“ROAR!!!”
Elly roared and smashed her massive body into the gate’s wall. The fortifications crumbled like tofu, and Oune was sent flying by the impact.
At the same time, she raised her dragon claw and slammed it down upon Oune, bringing this battle to a decisive end.
