Volume 4 Chapter 178

Volume 4 + Chapter 178: This Absolutely Cannot Go Wrong!

“Princess, we’re almost at Adenai!”

Elly came forward to report.

Xia Yi looked at the surrounding terrain and also took out the map she carried with her, confirming the location.

That’s right. They were about to reach the target city.

“All units, heed the order! Enter combat readiness! Upon reaching the designated distance, assume true dragon forms and prepare to commence combat!” Xia Yi commanded.

“As you command, Princess!”

The Dragon Clan soldiers replied in unison.

They were already eager and ready. This should be the final battle.

“Ella, can you use your dream manipulation ability?”

Xia Yi inquired of Ella.

“For example, like before, ‘whoosh,’ making everyone in the entire city fall into a dream? Then we wouldn’t have to fight, and we could take Adenai without shedding blood.”

“Huh? What are you talking about?” Ella widened her eyes.

“Exactly what it sounds like. Aren’t you a succubus?”

“Sorry, can’t do it!”

“You call yourself a Great Demon, yet you can’t even make a few Vampire soldiers fall into a dream?” Xia Yi was very skeptical. “Last time, didn’t you make our entire Dragon Clan force fall into a dream?”

“That’s because I set a trap in advance. Making others fall into a dream within a trap can greatly reduce the consumption of succubus energy. Forcing someone into a dream without any prior contact is the most draining on energy and stamina. One person is manageable, but you want me to make the entire Vampire army fall into a dream?”

Ella pointed at Xia Yi, looking very wronged.

“You little silver dragon, you’re usually unwilling to get lewd with me to replenish my energy. I’m practically starving to death. And now you want me, with an empty stomach, to do such an energy-intensive task? This is absolutely impossible!! Unless—”

“Alright, alright, I get it!”

Xia Yi hurriedly cut Ella off.

She could already guess the next sentence, unless you’re willing to get lewd with me to provide energy.

If she were to capture Adenai using such means, through lewdness, then all her prestige would be utterly lost!

“Anyway, it’s just a minor matter. Adenai has absolutely no reason to withstand our Dragon Clan’s assault.” Xia Yi was very confident.

“Princess, after we capture Adenai, the Dragon Clan’s phased objective will be considered complete, right?” the Captain inquired. “This should be the final city in your plan?”

“Yes, that’s correct.” Xia Yi affirmed.

“Well then, as long as nothing unexpected happens…” the Captain murmured.

“Unexpected? No way, how could there possibly be any unexpected developments! Captain, you’re a professional. You should understand this situation, right?” Elly was quite confident. “The Vampires cannot possibly withstand us.”

“That’s true,” the Captain agreed. “We indeed have no reason to lose. However, the battlefield is ever-changing. Unless…”

“Unless what?” Elly was somewhat concerned.

“Unless, for example, some unforeseen powerful figures appear. Like the Vampire Ancestor suddenly showing up or something.”

“Haha, Captain, what are you talking about? How could the Vampire Ancestor possibly appear in a place like this!” Elly laughed. “The Vampire Ancestor stays in the capital of the Holy Crimson Empire. There’s absolutely no reason for her to appear in a border city without a single word!”

“That point is valid. I can’t think of a reason for the Vampire Ancestor to do that,” the Captain affirmed. “Just forget what I said earlier; it’s indeed too absurd!”

“It’s in the bag! Absolutely in the bag! This absolutely cannot go wrong! Princess, actually, I even want to start celebrating our victory in advance!” Elly voiced her thoughts. “The Princess has been working very hard lately, leading everyone to conquer Vampire cities. This is the last one. Once we successfully capture it, the Dragon Clan’s work can temporarily conclude, handed over to the armies of other nations. We can relax for a long time!”

“That’s right.” Xia Yi nodded.

“So, Princess, after the battle is won and we return, should we hold a banquet to celebrate?” Elly suggested.

“Great! That’s a great idea!”

“Yes, let’s hold a banquet to celebrate then!”

“The pressure has been really high lately!”

Elly’s suggestion received responses from the other Dragon Clan soldiers. Everyone’s spirits began to soar.

Naturally, Xia Yi wouldn’t dampen everyone’s enthusiasm and gladly agreed. “No problem. After the battle ends, once we capture Adenai and achieve victory, we’ll hold a banquet to let everyone relax.”

“Excellent!!”

The Dragon Clan cheered together.

During the conversation, the Anti-Vampire Special Operations Unit had already reached its destination. The target, Adenai, was now within visible range.

Since the Captain had calculated the marching time in advance, the Dragon Clan secretly arrived at Adenai precisely at noon—the time of day when the Vampires’ strength was at its weakest.

The Vampire trait is that their strength is diminished during daytime, recovers as dusk approaches, and increases during the deep night.

Now was the best time for an assault.

The Dragon Clan forces’ inherent combat strength far surpassed that of the stationed Vampire army.

Coupled with this being a secret march and a surprise attack, the Vampires would undoubtedly be caught off guard.

Timing, geographical advantage, and popular support were all in their favor.

“I can hardly think of any way we could lose!!” Elly couldn’t help but exclaim.

To tell the truth, indeed.

Xia Yi also couldn’t think of how the opposing Vampires could stop them.

“All units, heed the order! Assume true dragon forms! Use dragon breath to begin bombardment of Adenai! After the bombardment, clean up any remaining resistance! Now, commence the operation!” The little princess’s words had just fallen.

All the Dragon Clan members assumed their true dragon forms, transforming into massive dragons and letting out resounding roars.

The dragons soared into the sky, rapidly approaching Adenai while gathering their dragon breath, preparing for the first wave of bombardment.

……

……

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dragon breath began to rain down upon the border city of Adenai in the Holy Crimson Empire, like heavy bombs being dropped one after another, exploding violently and shaking the entire city.

“Why would the Dragon Clan attack here? Did they appear out of thin air?!”

The commander of Adenai’s garrison was pale and trembling.

“It’s over, it’s over. This time it’s truly over. The Dragon Clan has already gained air superiority over the city. It’s too late to deploy defensive magic arrays now!!”

He couldn’t think of any reason for victory. The Vampire soldiers here were no match for the Dragon Clan to begin with. Coupled with this being a surprise attack, to turn the tables would require the Progenitor to suddenly…

After this thought crossed his mind, he felt utterly absurd.

In moments of extreme despair, people often entertain unrealistic fantasies. How could the Vampire Ancestor possibly appear?

He laughed at himself mockingly, sighed, turned around, and prepared to go command the battle.

However, upon seeing the figure that had suddenly appeared at the entrance, the garrison commander of Adenai first froze, then instinctively knelt, showing reverence.

He even began to doubt if he was hallucinating.

“Am I… dreaming?”
