The Path to Lordship Begins in the North

"Holy crap, these humans actually stormed the tower!"

As the giant dragon, circling in the sky, watched the fanatical followers of the God of War surge into the foremost tower, it made an expression that was impossible for any dragon to make.

The dragon was so terrified that its expression went beyond its facial muscles.

"Huh? Holy crap, these humans really stormed the tower?"

The two dragons immediately turned and flew out of the black mist, sharing the information with the other dragons who were still waiting for news on the ground.

"You're saying humans stormed the tower?"

“It’s absolutely true! I saw the human leader enter the tower with my own eyes!”

"Fool, those humans have rebelled!"

The old man slammed his cane down on the head of the young giant dragon.

......

"So, you heard the divine message from the God of War and came to help us repair the tower?"

Anastasia looked at the fanatics in front of her with some disbelief, while the fanatics nodded in agreement.

Although I knew that the governor was cleaning up the pollution deep in his sea of ​​consciousness, I didn't expect it to be so fast. Moreover, the God of War reacted very quickly, actually giving orders directly to his followers.

What's even more baffling is that these people, whose minds were clouded by erosion and pollution and who became fanatical believers, remain fanatical believers even though the God of War's corruption has been restored. They will still faithfully carry out the God of War's divine decrees.

The parish priest leading the believers humbly lowered his head: "Indeed, we will heed the divine decree of the God of War and help humanity overcome this crisis."

It's hard to imagine that this was the same group of fanatical believers from before.

Just then, someone came to report that the dragons seemed to have noticed something was wrong and had begun their attack.

Anastasia quickly settled the followers of the God of War and led the other tower members to the tower's platform to meet the enemy.

Since Lilith granted Anastasia temporary access, Anastasia has felt a deeper connection with the Tower, and can even control some of its mechanical devices, changing its shape. Of course, this access is temporary and requires Lilith to keep replenishing it.

Anastasia showed no fear in the face of these dragons, after all, she had experienced this situation before, and the annoying black dragon was gone. Huge vines rose in this world, and the members of the tower stepped onto them. Everyone seemed to be used to fighting, after all, deep in their sea of ​​consciousness, these members had been fighting against the corrupted beings until today.

However, Anastasia was still trying to contact outside help when facing these dragons, after all, she still had to help Lilith repair the tower and try to restore it to a level that could be "used once" according to the information provided by the goddess.

Fortunately, according to the information, the people did not actually want to repair the Tower of Babel, but rather the "carriage" that led from the Tower of Babel to the heavens. Otherwise, it would be hard to imagine what kind of great power would be needed to repair this tower that reaches the heavens.

Even so, Anastasia didn't have time to get entangled with these dragons here.

The dragons also had a premonition that humans could no longer remain in this tower. Whether it was the dragons' intuition or the setbacks they suffered at the tower in the last war, the dragons realized that they had to take down the tower.

The dragons were right. The reason Linde was so determined to use the tower to get to the space station was because, as 550C said, some permissions could only be used after the remnants of the old had arrived in person, such as weapon permissions.

The dragon's breath surged directly towards the foremost tower, as if to burn through the black mist. Most of the dragon's breath was blocked by Anastasia's vines, while the remaining portion triggered the tower's defensive barrier and was effectively blocked.

For Anastasia, the so-called order of magic has become meaningless. She can now freely change the form of magic; basically, she can create a completely new spell simply by clapping her hands.

However, it is clear that the dragons are serious this time. Unlike in the last war when the dragons were quite loose and not unified, the dragons who came here this time obviously all want to take over this continent.

If the dragons last time were like scattered soldiers, this time it's a battle of regular troops.

"Don't be afraid! The Tower Master will protect us, just keep casting your spell!"

On the vines, these high-level professionals roared and raised their staffs. The dragons were not flying very high, because if they were too high, their destructive power would be greatly reduced. Moreover, not all dragons were as ferocious as Erex, which meant that these high-level professionals did have a chance to break through these dragons.

After Anastasia's vines helped adjust the height, dazzling runic arrays burst forth from the spellcasters' staffs, and elemental spears, whistling through the air, were hurled towards the dragons in the sky.

Meanwhile, the knights, taking advantage of the dragon's decrease in altitude, used Anastasia's help to leap onto the dragon's back using vines and launch their attack.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible for a high-level human professional to defeat a dragon. However, the members of these towers launched an attack on the dragons without fear, just as they had resolutely stepped into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness. To these tower members, dragons seemed to be much easier to deal with than those strange contaminants. At least, as long as you were strong enough, you could defeat them.

"You damned humans!"

Seemingly influenced by the black mist, some of the dragons became increasingly agitated, especially the older ones. Seeing the tower fighting desperately seemed to trigger some unpleasant memories.

"Give me more power! The human tower's strength is much weaker than last time. Thanks to Erex, there aren't many in the tower that can stand up to us now. As long as that elf falls, we can take down the tower immediately!"

Indeed, as the old dragon said, the Tower's strength was certainly not what it was during the last war because of the previous incident with Erex, which directly led to the departure of many of its non-official staff and the dispersal of high-ranking professionals.

But at that moment, those high-level professionals who had been observing from outside the black mist, those unofficial personnel who had promised the dragon not to interfere, suddenly arrived near the tower, braving the black mist.

For some unknown reason, these unofficial members broke their agreement with the dragons and began to help the tower launch an attack on the dragons.

Although she didn't know why these unofficial personnel suddenly changed their minds and returned to the tower, Anastasia, with the attitude that it was good that they had returned, also used vines to lift up these high-ranking unofficial professionals. At this time, the tower was surrounded by vines, and more and more humans were standing on them.

A sense of unease rose among the dragons.

"Didn't you humans say you wouldn't interfere? How come you're breaking your promise again! As expected, not a single one of you humans is good; you all deserve to be destroyed!"

Some of the dragons broke down. It was one thing for the initial fanatics to betray them—after all, those guys were brainless—but how dare these high-level professionals break their pact with the dragons and turn around to attack them?

Although this agreement has a somewhat intimidating and threatening nature, it is more reliable for dragons. Is there anything more terrifying than dragons in the world?

Just then, a giant dragon seemed to sense something, turned around to look into the distance, and shouted, "Oh no, missiles are coming!"
