Flillian, I want to live.

The Earl's son held the torch tightly in his hand.

He knew that as long as he survived this battle, he would be the new Earl of Gulanat.

only……

The Earl's son threw the torch in the air with all his might. As the flames streaked across the night sky, a huge army of headless dead soldiers, with an almost endless number of soldiers, appeared on the plain.

And right in front of this huge army that could almost flatten an entire kingdom, Aura stood there smiling, holding a scale.

She stretched out her hand and slowly drew out the sword from Count Gulanat's waist.

"Isn't this your territory? Are you willing to hand it over to me?"

Under Aura's control, the count slowly knelt down.

"So I just want to take back what belongs to me~"

Aura pointed his sword at the city wall in front of him and raised his head arrogantly.

"Go out into battle."

The headless soldiers brandished the weapons they had used in life and rushed towards the homeland they once guarded.

Because their heads were chopped off by Aura as trouble, this huge army launched a silent charge in the howling autumn wind. There were no trumpets, no shouts, only the uniform footsteps, which turned into vibrations that made the earth tremble and reached the guards guarding the city walls.

"Draw the bow!"

The Earl's son drew the sword bestowed by the king and shouted in a deep voice.

"put--"

The next moment, the arrows thrown high into the sky by the longbow turned into a rain of arrows and fell into the reunited undead army.

If it were a human body, under such a rain of arrows, there would probably be countless wailing wounded in an instant. However, for the undead soldiers who had already lost their heads and were acting under the control of magic, only a few casualties were caused. Even if their bodies were full of arrows like hedgehogs, as long as their bodies were not completely damaged, they had to continue to carry out Aura's orders.

Soon, the ladders that had been prepared long ago were placed on the top of the city wall. The soldiers lit the hot oil in the braziers beside them and poured it down the ladders.

stab~

The sound of raw meat being put into a frying pan came from under the city wall.

Then a moment later.

The headless knight, covered in flames, suddenly jumped out from the low wall beside the battlement.

"Ah...ah..."

Seeing their former compatriots gradually turning into ashes in the scorching flames and falling from the ladder, the guards couldn't help but cover their mouths and let out trembling screams.

"Hold the formation!"

However, this is just the beginning.

Because when the first group of undead soldiers jumped onto the city wall and engaged in close combat with the guards, the real battle had just begun.

Ten years of peace have caused many guards to neglect training, but they will soon grow in actual combat.

Or die.

However, as long as they were not killed directly, the seriously injured guards would be quickly transported to the city wall.

Gutel, holding the holy book in a pretentious manner, was restoring the wounded to their best condition with much greater efficiency than the monks around him, even repairing their broken armor.

"The enemy outnumbers us ten to one... but as long as we hold on, there is hope."

Guter said to Sophia who was helping her, then turned to look at the mountains behind the city.

Chapter 93: Xin Meier's Hunting Tips

Bang...

There was a sound of pebbles rolling under Hugh Tark's feet.

Although he kept repeating "don't bow your head" in his heart, driven by instinctive curiosity, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the place where the noise came from.

So high...

Looking at the bottomless abyss beneath his feet, Xutark felt dizzy. He closed his eyes, leaned his body tightly against the rock wall in front of him, and tried to calm himself down with deep breathing.

At this moment, he was standing on an almost vertical cliff. A plank road leading to the top of the mountain had been artificially carved here, but due to years of abandonment, only the piles that were originally embedded in the rock wall by the craftsmen remained. It was by climbing these remaining piles that Xutark climbed up the mountain that stretched between Middle-earth and the Northern Continent.

Although Hugh Tark overcame his fear of monsters with the help of Gutel, there is another fear that he has not been able to overcome so far.

That's fear of heights.

Even though he knew that a well-trained soldier would not be hurt at all even if he free-fall from a great height, Hugh Tark still did not muster up the courage to follow the Earl and jump down from the castle, which was not particularly high.

Being afraid is being afraid.

Despite this, Hugh Turk still came here, on this cliff where one misstep could mean death. Hugh Turk did not come here to use shock therapy to treat his fear of heights. He just took on this task, which was considered suicide by those who knew about it, just to atone for his sins.

Xutark could not forgive himself for putting Fellen in danger because of his cowardice.

Just look at the top.

Xiutalk raised his head and vaguely saw the platform on the cliff through the clouds surrounding the top of the mountain.

After being abandoned for more than ten years, Xutark once again set foot on the top of the peak that separates the two continents.

Hugh Tark opened his mouth and took the torch he had been holding in his mouth with his hand. He held high the torch that was burning with pine oil, illuminating the scene here.

The first thing that caught Hugh Turk's eye was a corpse whose body had long since decayed, leaving only a skeleton.

Are they the guards who didn’t have time to evacuate here?

call--

Suddenly, there was a strange sound of wind above Xu Turk's head.

Next, a huge black monster flew over Hugh Tark's head and landed on the platform in front of him.

Holding the torch, Hugh Tark slowly raised his head.

It was a creature as huge as a castle, just lying there. Its skin was as smooth as black satin, yet tougher than steel. Its sharp teeth, taller than humans, were intertwined like saw blades. The hot air from its nostrils could blow people away.

"Roar--"

Dragons are the pinnacle of monster evolution in this world, and the black dragon in front of him, staring at Xuttark with its golden vertical pupils, is the pinnacle of dragons.

"I was wondering why that red mirror dragon stayed there so long."

Hugh Tark shifted the torch to his left hand, then slowly pulled out the battle axe from behind him with his right hand that he had taken back from the jailer.

If they invade the village, they will be killed by Shuttark, but the Red Mirror Dragon has no way to retreat.

Because behind it, there is a black dragon that is even bigger than it, and it uses this platform on the top of the mountain as its nest.

"Come on, Dragon."

Xuttark moved his slightly trembling fingers, then dragged the battle axe in his hand and rushed towards the black dragon that was trying to scare him away.

"Roar--"

A trembling roar emanated from the black dragon's throat, and with a red light flashing on its neck, a huge fireball was shot towards Xutalk who was rushing towards it.

However, the Black Dragon, who thought the opponent would dodge, soon found that he had actually made things worse.

Like a barbarian berserker living in the northern forests, Xuttark did not dodge or evade the oncoming fireball, but calmly took agile steps and continued to sprint towards the black dragon.

boom--

The fireball exploded behind Xutark, and a big hole was blown in the marble ground. Accompanied by scattered rubble, Xutark rushed to the black dragon like a ghost.

Xutark stared into the black dragon's eyes, making the black dragon, which had almost no creatures in nature dared to look directly at him, feel fear for the first time. That look was like the look of a hunter looking at a beast that had fallen into a trap.

"Roar--"

The black dragon roared again. Not daring to confront Xutark head-on, the black dragon flapped its wings, allowing its body to soar into the air. At the same time, it swung out its thick dragon tail, attacking Xutark like a whip wielded by a giant god.

Xuturk lowered his center of gravity and slid past the black dragon's tail. Seeing the torch in his hand break into two pieces after the collision with the dragon's tail, Xuturk frowned slightly, and simply let go of his hand and threw away the broken torch. The moment he flashed from the dragon's tail, he pushed off the ground and instantly jumped into the air dozens of meters high.

As his body fell, Xuttark clenched the battle axe in his hands with both hands.

"What? You want me to tell you the story of me and Sinmeier slaying a dragon?"

In Xutalk's mind, he recalled the adventure stories of Xinmeier that Aize had told him when he was a child.

"Dragons are indeed very difficult monsters to deal with, but Xinmeier did teach me the secret of slaying dragons back then."

When Aize talks about his adventures with Xinmeier and the others, he always becomes very talkative and a smile appears on his face unconsciously.

"Xin Meier said, in short, to slay a dragon, you must first cut off its tail..."

With childhood memories in mind, Xuttark's battle axe struck the middle of the black dragon's tail before it could even take off.

Along with the spreading shock wave, a huge crack appeared under Shutark's feet, running across the entire platform, and the thick dragon tail was cut into two parts by Shutark's slash and fell heavily to the ground.

"Roar--"

The black dragon lost its tail and roared as it lost its balance. Even though its wings were flapping continuously, it still crashed into the rock wall next to the platform.

Xutark landed lightly on the ground. He flipped the battle axe in his hand again and pointed the sharp axe blade at the black dragon that had lost its ability to fly.

It's much weaker than I imagined.

Xutark tilted his head and looked coldly at the black dragon that had curled up into a ball. The other party obviously had fangs and teeth far superior to ordinary soldiers, and strength that could easily cut through the city walls, but in the previous confrontation, it chose to flee in panic, exposing its flaws to him.

"You're more scared than I am..."

Hugh Tark dragged his axe, muttered something, and charged at the trembling black dragon, ready to end its life.

"Surrender meow! I won't fight anymore meow!"

However, he didn't know if it was Xutalk's illusion, but he heard a voice like that of a human girl coming from the black dragon's body.

Chapter 94 I must start spreading the fire immediately

Is this my hallucination?

Hearing the sound that was in stark contrast to the huge monster in front of him, Xu Tark blinked his eyes. For a moment, he thought that he had heard some whispers from the subspace because his nerves were too tense.

"Wait a minute, meow!"

However, as Xutark continued to advance towards the dragon, the strange voice rang out again.

This time, Xu Tark heard it clearly. The sound was indeed coming from the mouth of the dragon in front of him.

"It's you?"

With a tentative attitude, Xu Tark tilted his head and asked the Black Dragon a question.

"It's me, meow!"

The dragon nodded its huge head vigorously, responding to what Hugh Tark said.

"Oh? Dragons can actually talk?"

Xutark raised his eyebrows and pounded the battle axe in his hand into the ground.

"Advanced dragons can imitate human speech, meow~"

Black Dragon added, shaking his head.

"Hmm... But even so, I can't let you continue to do evil here. The skeletons on the platform before were the humans you ate, right?"

Xutark said coldly to the black dragon begging for mercy.

"Ah, no, don't, meow! As long as you don't kill me, I can do anything for you, meow!"

The black dragon blinked his golden vertical pupils and spoke to Xutalk with a strong desire to survive.

"is it?"

Xutark turned his head and looked at the city at the foot of the mountain in the distance. At this moment, the city that should have spent the night in peace was full of flames. Presumably, Aura's army was launching a general attack there.

"Do you want to go back there? I can help you, meow! If it were me, I could take you to that city in just a few minutes."

Black Dragon read a hint of anxiety in Xu Tark's eyes and quickly took the initiative to tell him his role.

"All right……"

Xutark nodded and put the axe behind him.

"Um, can I go get my tail back?"
