Golden Dragon: Six Thousand Years of Empire.

Chapter 317 Thunder Power Spear, Splitting Great Sword
The howling wind, mixed with a strong and sickening stench, and the fat and bloated ogres have surrounded the city like a black tide. No matter which side of the city wall you stand on, you can only see the terrifying monsters that are as big as a hill fortress.

Each of these ogres is over three meters tall, with thick fat and muscles that contain amazing strength beneath their rough blue-black skin.

When such a monster charges, even a galloping warhorse will be overturned, and a fully armed knight will be trampled into the mud.

Therefore, even an ordinary wandering ogre can become a major threat to the town, requiring the issuance of quests to invite adventurers and mercenaries to deal with it. When ogres gather in groups, they can pose a threat to the city.

But now, there are thousands of ogres gathered outside the city, and the ogre leader at the head is extremely terrifying, nearly eight meters tall, like a walking towering iron tower.

Every step taken by this terrifying monster leader would leave a deep pit on the ground. Even if he just walked around the city, the soldiers on the city wall could feel the vibration from the ground.

"Damn it, where on earth did this ogre tribe come from?"

"I just want to know when the reinforcements will arrive? We can't hold out for long."

Two knights wearing rune armor and covered in blood looked worriedly at the ogres with distorted and hideous faces outside the city, their expressions tense.

The city wall beneath their feet was riddled with holes, with potholes everywhere created by the ogres, especially near the city gate, which was particularly shocking.

"It's useless even if ordinary knights come. Only the knights directly under the royal family and the elite knights trained by those legendary families can defeat this ogre tribe."

"I remember that the family closest to us is the Samun family. They have a group of magic pattern knights..."

"Don't dream. You are also a noble. Don't you know what choices those legendary families will make when faced with a situation that has nothing to do with them? The only thing we can look forward to is the Royal War Knights."

"We are too far away from the Royal City!"

"We have already sent out our call for help. All we can do now is hold on until the Royal Knights arrive!"

"The Augustus family will never give up on us."

"hope so!"

Even though the two knight nobles were worried, they could only grit their teeth and hold on, because there was no option of surrender. Outside the city were cannibal monsters that could not coexist with humans. The only outcome of surrendering was to be eaten as food.

For monsters, the difference between nobles and commoners is the difference in the quality and taste of the ingredients. Apart from that, there is no difference in status or identity.

It’s not that there weren’t some fools who suggested sacrificing the city to save themselves, but as soon as such words came out, the proposer and his family were exterminated by the city lord and the ruling elves.

"Dodge the flying rocks!"

"The ogres are attacking the city again!"

A hoarse shout was heard, and the two Rune Knights looked up and saw rocks flying towards the city. Those were rocks thrown collectively by the ogres.

For the extraordinary people in the city, as long as they see it, they can basically dodge it with their reaction ability. But for ordinary people, especially the civilians hiding in the houses and shivering, they can only pray that the goddess of luck will lift up her skirt for them.

Boom~boom~boom~
Rocks as big as millstones hit the battlements, and the huge impact force instantly smashed the battlements into pieces, stones broke, and brick and stone debris fell like raindrops.

The tired eyes of the soldiers defending the city were filled with fear. But even so, they had to step out of the bunkers and, under the command of their superiors, fight against the ogres climbing the city walls.

These monsters possessed an agility that was inconsistent with their seemingly bloated and fat bodies. Their thick fingers could easily dig into the gaps between the bricks and stones of the city wall, allowing them to climb the wall with their bare hands.

Unfortunately, even if the soldiers defending the city risked their lives to attack the ogres climbing the city wall, the ogres that were knocked down could just pat their butts and continue to climb up. In the face of the overwhelming advantage of the ogres, the resistance of ordinary soldiers seemed so insignificant.

Only those nobles who possess extraordinary weapons can cause damage to the ogres with their attacks, but they must hit the vital points, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the ogre's self-healing speed.

Compared with the number of ogres, the casualties caused by the extraordinary nobles were completely negligible. Therefore, it didn't take long for ogres wielding huge wooden clubs to climb onto the city wall.

The weapons that seem primitive can actually cause terrible damage under the ogre's exaggerated strength. Ordinary soldiers are like fallen leaves and paper under the ogre's weapons, and they will break into pieces at the touch.

But even if the soldiers rushed forward without fear of life and death and tried their best, their weapons could only leave a few shallow marks on the ogres' strong and thick skin, and could not even break their flesh and blood.

"Defend the city!"

"For the glory of Atlas!"

At this desperate moment, the nobles standing on the city walls erupted again. They were nobles who were awarded titles for their military merits, and they were the foundation of the Atlas Kingdom.

When there is only one choice, this group of nobles who usually indulge in pleasure and live a luxurious life will use their lives and blood to prove their glory as nobles.

Unfortunately, under the ogres' repeated attacks like a tide, too many military nobles in this border city were killed, and the city was already on the verge of collapse.

As more and more ogres appeared on the city walls, the city, which was already shrouded in panic, suddenly collapsed. The streets were in chaos, people were running everywhere, crying and shouting for help. The whole city was shrouded in the shadow of despair, as if the end had arrived.

Rumbling--

Along with a dull explosion like thunder, billowing smoke and dust rose in the south of the city. A ferocious and burly figure like an iron tower, grasping a completely distorted and deformed body of a human knight, slowly appeared in the smoke and dust. It was the ogre leader, and he blew up the city gate.

Behind this giant ogre, ogres with saliva flowing from their mouths, impatiently rushed in like a tide. This city will become their dining table.

Although there were still extraordinary people fighting on other city walls and even in the city streets, their resistance and struggle seemed like a desperate fight, which only added a bit of interest to the ogre's meal.

This is a monster disaster. When the monsters that feed on humans enter the city, the entire city will turn into purgatory. When the city gate is breached, it foreshadows the fate of the city. However, this city is only located on the border, not an isolated city. The blue light flickered in the sky, and then turned into a series of bright lines that crisscrossed and constructed a temporary teleportation array in the air, and the space suddenly opened up.

Roar!
A flying dragon with a cold metallic luster poked its head out from the space channel, and then its wings, which were also covered with steel, spread out above the chaotic land.

Roar!Roar!
One after another, steel dragons appeared in the sky above the fallen city, and their roars resounded through the sky and earth. Even the ogres who were preparing to plunder or enter the city for a meal were mostly attracted by these dragons they had never seen before, because their hunting instincts made them sense the deadly danger that was enough to threaten them.

"Another human thing?"

The ogre leader who broke open the city gate looked up at the flying dragons above his head. His gaze did not stay on those fancy-looking dragons, but on the knights riding the dragons.

These knights were different from all the humans he had seen before. They were wrapped in heavy armor from head to toe and did not look much smaller than the warriors under his command. The flowing blue sheen and flashing runes on their armor made the ogre leader feel a little fearful, but only a little.

"scoff~"

When the ogre leader saw thirty-six knights appear in the sky, he sneered with disdain.

Because the portal in the sky has been closed with a bang, that is to say, the knights who descended only have these above their heads. What can humans do with this? Watch his minions eat?

The descending magic dragon knight quickly used actions to tell the group of ogres below what they could do.

One after another, dragons wrapped in steel circled the city under the command of the knights. Dark-colored spheres fell from the armor that separated from the dragon's belly, and exploded at the moment they were about to touch the ground.

One after another, flowers made of steel and fire bloomed outside the city. Along with the flowers of fire, there were also blood flowers made of the flesh and blood of ogres.

The ogres who had not yet had time to enter the city fled in panic under the sudden bombing. In just a few breaths, hundreds of ogres were engulfed in flames. Their hair and skin quickly burned in the high temperature, and they let out miserably screams. The sky above the city was filled with a pungent burnt smell.

"Damn human thing!"

Under the bombardment of the flying dragon, the ogre leader roared angrily. Hearing the wailing of his fellows outside the city, he grabbed bricks from a house on one side, held them in his hands, and smashed them into the sky.
"If you are not as timid as a mouse, come down and fight me. I will tear you to pieces."

"There's an ogre chieftain down there who's challenging us."

"I'll kill it!"

A magic dragon knight looked down at the ant-like ogre leader below, his eyes revealing cold murderous intent. He raised the strangely shaped spear in his hand and pointed the tip of the spear downwards, and the dazzling energy halo began to flicker gradually.

boom--

A beam of azure light dropped from the sky and instantly pierced through one of the ogre leader's arms as he roared angrily. His muscles and bones evaporated in an instant. His defense and physique, which he was so proud of, were completely powerless against this attack.

"Humans, are you only capable of attacking in the air like flying squirrels? If you are males with eggs, then get off my feet."

Stimulated by the pain, the ogre leader became even more furious, but such an attack was not even a minor injury to him, because his flesh and bones were regenerating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"trouble!"

The attacking dragon knight saw that the ogre leader below was still making noise, so he inserted the thunder spear in his hand into the dragon's back, turned over and jumped off the dragon's back with a big sword.

boom~
With a heavy sound of landing, spider-web-like cracks spread to the ground from the place where the Magic Dragon Knight landed. However, the knight said nothing, but held the greatsword that was almost as tall as a person in both hands. With a buzzing sound, the knight, who was nearly three meters tall, rushed towards the ogre leader with a distorted expression and excitement on his face, who was striding towards him.

Two figures, one big and one small, charging towards each other passed each other. Time seemed to stand still at this moment. The next moment, the huge figure that seemed to have a more advantageous size fell to the ground with a bang, and two smelly fountains of blood gushed out.

"Despicable human thing!"

The ogre leader, whose legs and weapons were cut off at the moment of meeting, turned his head away, filled with anger and confusion.
"Give me another chance, I can definitely..."

At the broken parts of his legs, countless granulations were wriggling madly like worms. If he was given enough time, he could grow another pair of legs.

“So fragile!”

The Magic Dragon Knight turned around and held the greatsword in one hand. Above the sword's edge, a barely visible halo was flickering. It was this light that gave this seemingly ordinary greatsword the ability to tear apart everything.

Disintegrating Great Sword
It is said that the principle is the same as the Great Disintegration of the spellcaster, hence the name. The knight does not know whether it is true or not, but he knows that this sword is very useful.

sigh~
The knight charged again, holding the splitting sword in hand, and cut off the head of the ogre leader with one sword, just like a rolling knife cutting butter. As the knight holding the sword, he did not feel any stagnation.

When the head with eyes wide open and a ferocious look rolled on the ground, the monster was still not dead. It opened its big mouth full of fangs and wanted to make a final counterattack.

Unfortunately, the ogre's self-healing ability, which is unmatched among human races, is useless in front of the magic dragon knight. His fangs couldn't even touch the knight's armor, and his head was chopped into eight pieces, and even his body was dismembered.

This was an unequal massacre, but compared with his fellow tribesmen, the ogre leader was lucky enough. At least he could see clearly who killed him, and he fell in a frontal battle.

The ogres that poured into the city didn't even know where the attack came from, their bodies were either pierced or torn apart, and they died in extremely miserable ways.

To the ogres, the roar of the flying dragon was no different from the call of the god of death. No matter what they did, it was all in vain and they would eventually die.

The knights, whose number was not even a fraction of the ogres, coldly and extremely efficiently harvested the enemies of humanity. In just less than half a day, the city and its surroundings were littered with the corpses of ogres, and their blood gathered into streams, flowing in the cracks in the ground.
