The Cruel Sacrifice: Fluder Takes Action

Tang Zheng had been chatting with Renner for so long in order to use Princess Renner's wisdom to help him further clarify the current ambiguous situation.

The Platinum Dragon Lord's purpose remains unclear.

This made him somewhat uneasy!

Now that the goal has been achieved, there is naturally no need to stay any longer.

He got up to leave.

"Your Excellency Tang."

Princess Renner then stood up, placed her hands on her chest, and suddenly spoke:

"I believe that the purpose of Council State is not limited to this."

Tang Zheng paused, looked again at Princess Renner's beautiful face, his gaze flickered, and he nodded to signal her to continue.

"... Maybe."

"The war between the Kingdom and the empire is not only a test for the Slane Theocracy, but also a test for other unknown forces."

Upon hearing the word "unknown," Princess Renner glanced at Tang Zheng:

"In fact, this is just a blatant attempt to attract attention; other covert operations are underway."

Tang Zheng's pupils narrowed slightly.

He suddenly realized that he had indeed focused too much attention on the battlefield between the Kingdom and empires!

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Upper Water Month ·January 31st!

On the battlefield at the border of the Katze Plains, the air was filled with a distinct stench of blood, and the reddish-brown earth appeared even more vibrant under the stain of blood.

Broken arrows, Lancer, leather armor, and other weapons lay scattered haphazardly in the center of the battlefield between the two sides.

Three days!

The Kingdom launched more than ten attacks, all of which were repelled by the empire.

The entire Left Wing Corps suffered nearly 8,000 casualties, and the actual number of casualties should have been even higher.

but.

The elite legion led by Lainas and Gazef gathered the wounded from the battlefield and treated them with all their might, resulting in the survival of about 2,200 people!

The Kingdom's Daben.

"... Free Will"

Raeven Raven looked at the casualty report in his hand, raised his hands and lightly pressed his temples, his eyes filled with helplessness:

"I really don't know how to evaluate this. Was it helping, or was it making things worse?"

The soldiers received effective treatment and survived the battlefield, thanks to the "Regeneration Potion" that the Adventurer's Guild actively sold.

Affordable price and excellent results!

This allowed soldiers whose injuries were not too serious to survive.

Raeven Raven has already investigated and found that this large-scale shipment of the potion was entirely the work of "Free Will".

The timing of their appearance coincided perfectly with the Kingdom's mobilization of troops!

Those stingy and greedy nobles were naturally unwilling to spend money on these ordinary soldiers, even if the price was only a few copper coins.

However, the Empire also developed a "Regeneration Potion"!

That's natural.

Adventurer's Guild are transnational organizations; Kingdom's Adventurer's Guild can sell, then naturally an empire's Adventurer's Guild can too.

In comparison, to prevent unnecessary mutiny!

The nobles of the Kingdom had no choice but to reluctantly spend money to buy "Regeneration Potion" from the Adventurer's Guild.

Adventurers cannot interfere in wars between nations.

A smile flickered across Raeven Raven's face as he murmured, "But to interfere in this way?"

"Pity."

Even Adamantite Rank adventure party can't affect that high and mighty dragon!

He had heard a lot about the Kingdom's second "Adamantite Rank" adventurer team; their leader was a genius in alchemy, even though they were adventurers from the Kingdom.

However, they are not stationed in the country, but instead are stationed year-round in the Abelion Hills where Demi-Human are everywhere!

There are various rumors circulating about this situation.

For example, the female Demi-Human in the adventurer's party was a princess of a race in the Abelion Hills, who married Tang, the leader of the party.

For example, the idea of the Royal Family suppression... that's obviously nonsense.

but.

Given the conflict between "Free Will" and "Blue Roses," and the fact that leader Lakyus is a nobleman, it's not unreasonable for people to speculate in this way.

Shake your head!

Raeven Raven set aside the casualty report in his hand; these trivial matters had no impact on the overall situation.

"Your Excellency, Marquis."

A middle-aged man in his thirties stood respectfully to the side, and only spoke respectfully after Raeven Raven had finished reading the report:

"This is the third day already."

"A new offensive by the Left Wing Corps is about to begin."

This middle-aged man was one of the members of the think tank personally led by Raeven.

"Call--"

Letting out a long breath, Raeven Raven's expression turned serious, and he muttered to himself:

"These casualties are enough to be used as leverage."

"Once the offensive is over, order Gazef and Lainas to come with me to meet His Excellency the Blue Sky Dragon Lord."

"Yes, Your Excellency Marquis." The middle-aged man bowed respectfully.

The reason for the continuous attacks, and even the deliberate waiting of three days, was to ensure a sufficient number of casualties.

That's right!

This is incredibly cruel, but it has to be this way.

The Blue Sky Dragon Lord showed no intention of making a move. Despite inflicting sufficient casualties, he was still unable to breach the empire's defenses under the empire's full-scale defense.

Only then can one "request" the assistance of the Blue Sky Dragon Lord!

It wasn't acting.

It was indeed shameful, but the Kingdom couldn't break through the empire's defenses, so there was no Deception involved.

--battlefield.

Splash!

The sounds of weapons clashing and grinding.

The soldiers of the Left Wing Corps raised their Lancer once more and charged towards the Imperial defenses.

They have already lost one-third of their troops.

Under normal circumstances, the entire Left Wing Corps should have been on the verge of collapse. The fact that it did not cause a mutiny is already a testament to the proper command. However, the result was quite the opposite.

Despite achieving great victories and repelling more than ten attacks by the Kingdom, the atmosphere on the imperial side was visibly somber.

The key – Blue Sky Dragon Lord!

This is no longer a secret.

The empire can only defend; as for offense?

Even the most elite soldiers would waver and be filled with fear when faced with the legendary mobile natural disaster.

A heavy, somber atmosphere permeated the imperial lines as soldiers numbly raised their shields, preparing to meet the Kingdom's offensive.

Suddenly!

The oppressive atmosphere seemed to be Dispel by some invisible force, and a feeling called "hope" quickly infected the entire unit from afar.

Countless soldiers wore expressions of admiration and surprise as they watched the aged figure gradually emerge from behind.

"Yes..."

"Yes, it's a guardian deity!"

"Guardian Deity!"

"...!"

An excited murmur of stuttering voices erupted.

The formation was briefly thrown into disarray, and then a straight passage, wide enough for three people to pass through, appeared on the defensive line.

Fluder, holding a cane and with his heavy robe trailing on the ground, walked slowly and steadily along the passage toward the front of the battle line.

Following closely behind!

They were two middle-aged Magic Caster in their thirties or forties, the two most outstanding disciples of Fluder.

Unlike Fluder's tranquility.

The way the two Magic Caster gripped their Magic Staff tightly revealed their inner tension.

The opponent... well, it's a dragon after all!

With each step Fluder took forward, the soldiers on both sides of the road immediately stood up straight, looking at the hunched yet powerful figure with reverence.

"Hehe~"

A certain longing shone deep in Fluder's eyes. His cloudy eyes gazed ahead, and he raised his hand and waved gently.

"What a rare sight! Dragon Race magic... it's definitely worth studying."

Upon seeing the gesture, the two disciples bowed respectfully and chanted softly at the same time.

"Flight"

"Flight"

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The two disciples instantly took to the air, flying over the battlefield and watching the densely packed Kingdom soldiers charging below.

"Third-Tier Magic - Fireball!"

"Third-Tier Magic - Lightning Spear!"

A massive ball of fire crashed down from the sky like a meteorite, instantly engulfing an area in an explosion.

A straight, blue beam of light, as thick as a thumb, shot out like a laser from the hand of another Magic Caster, easily piercing through soldiers clad in soft armor.

It was like harvesting wheat, with stalks falling one by one!

"Third-Tier Magic - Fireball!"

"Third-Tier Magic - Lightning Spear!"

The magic continues to be cast.

Both disciples possess the ability to cast Fourth-Tier Magic, but such high-intensity magic is unnecessary on the battlefield; simple and effective magic is more suitable.

Flames exploded, Lightning Bolt flashed!

With just two Magic Caster, the Kingdom's offensive was instantly halted, and screams and wails filled the air.

"Since we've already guessed your intentions, there's no need to wait until we suffer significant losses before taking action."

Fluder had reached the very front of the defensive line, gazing into the distance with half-closed eyes, and gently raised his magic staff:

"Fifth-Tier Summon Undead - Heavy Skeleton Warriors!"

The Kingdom launched a strong offensive for three consecutive days.

The reason has already been analyzed by the imperial generals. Rather than waiting for the Blue Sky Dragon Lord King to make the first move and cause large-scale casualties to the empire.

It would be better if he made the first move.

Buzz!

Two dark blue magic circles appeared beneath their feet.

Two skeleton Warrior, wielding iron magical armor and weapons, emerged from the magic circle and charged toward the battlefield.

Fluder possesses the means to summon "Sixth-Tier Undead," and with his proficient abilities, he can summon two by lowering the rank by one.

This will achieve better results!

"Gazef and Lainas, those are the correct names."

"If we can lure these two out together beforehand, we should take them out first; they're the enemies that are giving Jircniv a headache."

Fluder controlled two Heavy Skeleton Warriors, a fierce killing intent flashing in his eyes:

"I originally wanted to bring Death Knight, but it's probably useless in a battlefield of this level... that's all."

With the technology provided by the leader of the [Zurrernorn] alliance, he finally managed to control the Death Knight imprisoned deep within the Black Tower some time ago.

Legendary Undead can play a greater role once they appear on the battlefield!

It's just a pity.

This time, the opponent is not Kingdom, but a Dragon Lords. Furthermore, the Theocracy probably doesn't want to see a large number of humans transformed into Undead.

Fluder could only extinguish the thought.

"Help!"

"The Undead!"

"Run!"

"...!"

The left-wing legion was in complete chaos, bombarded from above by two Magic Caster, and further attacked from below by two powerful Fifth-Tier Undead.

This is something ordinary soldiers simply cannot withstand!

The Heavy Skeleton Knight are like wolves among sheep; a single collision or a swing of their weapons can easily claim dozens of lives.

This is the situation.

Lainas and Gazef, who were at the back, both changed their expressions at the same time.

The Undead are tireless, unaffected by pain, and lack the strength of the Hero Realm!

Given enough time, these two Heavy Skeleton Knight could easily slaughter this Left Wing Corps of over 20,000 men!

"Lady Reinas, Gazef, the Marquis has ordered you two to deal with those two Undead first!"

Hurried footsteps sounded from behind:

"He shall go to see the Blue Sky Dragon Lord alone."

"Flow Acceleration!"

"Flow Acceleration!"

Before the panting messenger could even reach them, Lainas and her companion had already drawn their weapons and charged into the battlefield.

Two figures moved swiftly across the battlefield in reddish-brown robes!

Because of Lainas,

Gazef's daily training has become even more diligent, resulting in him being several times stronger than in the original story, and he has also gained an upgrade in the level of the Ring of Beginning.

Wearing several National Treasure-class magical artifacts, his strength is no weaker than that of Warrior in the "Hero Realm".

"I'll deal with the one to the left front," Lainas shouted sharply.

"Okay, be careful!"

Gazef shouted a warning, then slammed his foot into the ground and moved to the right.

When!

The black Lancer pierced the air and clashed with the longsword in the hand of the heavily armored Bone Warrior.

"Back off!"

Lainas's eyes hardened. She grabbed an ordinary soldier in front of her and threw him behind her, simultaneously activating her weapon.

"Rapid Consecutive Thrusts!"

The Lancer blurred into a blur, launching several rapid thrusts at the Heavy Skeleton Warriors.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

Heavy, intense sparks flew from the weapons of both sides.

The Heavy Skeleton Warriors was forced back by this series of fierce attacks, and almost lost his balance and fell to the ground.

"Ability Boost!"

"Greater Ability Boost!"

Two flashes of blue light appeared on Lainas's body in quick succession. Seeing that the Heavy Skeleton Warriors had lost his footing, she naturally pressed her advantage:

"Powerful Strike!"

Against the Undead, the [Cursed Knight's ] curse abilities are ineffective; only brute-force physical attacks will suffice.

Click!

A thunderclap appeared out of nowhere.

A dragon-shaped lightning bolt, as thick as an arm, streaked across the sky like a streak of light, its blinding blue flashes catching Lainas's eye.

That's too fast!

Lightning-attribute attack magic is known for its speed, making it difficult to dodge even with preparation, let alone a sudden attack.

Boom!

The location where Lainas stood was enveloped in dazzling Lightning Bolt, emitting an explosive roar.

"Magic Resistance Breakthrough· Dragon Lightning!"

Fluder's aged face spoke calmly and softly, a brief arc of electricity flashing across his arm:

"Hit."

"Even if he's not dead, he should be seriously injured. Heavy Skeleton Knight would be more than enough to handle him."

Prioritize dealing with the traitors within this empire!

Fluder's gaze shifted, locking onto Gazef on the other side of the battlefield. He raised his arm again, aiming at the enemy's position, just about to begin chanting.

"Kindness?"

A surprised tone rang out, Fluder turned her head again to look in Lainas's direction.

The lightning dissipated!

"Almost..."

Lainas appeared in everyone's sight, her face pale and her breathing rapid, a sense of lingering fear rising within her. "You saved my life again, Master."

A faint red light dissipated from her body!

The barrier of "Mane of Fierce Thorns" withstood the attack just now.
