The Green Dragon Sterilization Battle

The roar of the Ancient Green Dragon was vast and long.

In just a few minutes.

It swept across every inch of land south of the Green Dragon Mountain Range.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the direction from which the sound was coming.

The same is true for the people on the Greywater River Plain.

Roger gazed solemnly northward.

His expression changed from initial excitement and joy to somber and melancholy.

Because Augustus's alarming dragon roar only lasted for half a minute, and his vast dragon might continued to make everyone present feel very uncomfortable, but there was no trace of the Ancient Green Dragon in the northwest!

This greatly disappointed Roger.

"What's going on?"

He muttered something to himself.

Brandon glanced at him, his tone somewhat strange. "The green dragon is suspicious, and it will take him at least several minutes to fly over from there."

"You don't really want to kill all the green dragons, do you?"

Roger didn't mince words and nodded slightly.

Brandon's expression was complicated. "What does the Queen mean?"

Roger said without hesitation:

"That's what I meant."

Brandon paused for a moment, his expression suggesting that he was only just getting to know Roger today.

He was silent for a moment, then said sincerely:

"I thank you no matter what."

"It seemed like they were initially targeting me."

There seemed to be some confusion in his eyes.

Roger chuckled and glanced at the "Sword of Courage" behind him, without saying anything more.

Brandon looked like he suddenly understood.

But not long after that.

He scratched his head again, wondering what he had figured out.

After the anticlimactic Ancient Dragon, which started strong but ended weakly.

The banks of the Greywater River are as quiet as a cemetery.

All eyes were on Roger.

Before these twenty-odd green dragon corpses.

This major battle, which could have influenced the situation in the South, suddenly became insignificant.

Just as everyone was trying their best to find out the origins of the two people in front of them.

Someone suddenly remembered the chaos that had just occurred.

A voice called out "Master!" came from the west bank of the Greywater River. The voice was distinctive and extremely penetrating, so much so that the troops on the east bank heard it.

Gradually.

A bold and terrifying speculation began to circulate among the army of the Lord of Kachidon—

In the process of rapidly rising in Country of Chaos.

The devils have been proclaiming that their king is a being of immense power.

However, they did not use his name.

In all instances involving the mysterious king, the word "master" was used instead.

Previously.

Most of the surrounding forces believed that Diana was just making a fuss.

With the terrifying potential and strength she has demonstrated.

And who is qualified to be her master? But despite all that.

Before today's decisive battle.

Earl Katchidon was also afraid that the devils' boasted master would suddenly support Diana.

In other words, Mikado's sincerity was so great that he even sent the Green Dragon Legion!

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been the one to stick his neck out!

But now it seems...

"Impossible!"

"Impossible!"

"I must have misheard..."

In the guards' quarters.

Earl Katchidon muttered to himself.

But not long after that.

Roger took the initiative to greet them.

That penetrating voice once again shattered the peace between the two sides of the strait.

"Owner!"

I missed you so much!

But then Sake went out alone, swiftly crossing the Greywater River to Roger's side.

The next second.

He skillfully nudged Brandon aside, positioned himself, and began enthusiastically licking Roger's boots.

This action completely shattered Earl Katchidon's illusions! "This man is the king of the Country of Chaos?"

"No way? Someone this handsome and capable? Is there really such a person..."

"What... should we do?"

The guards also became anxious and uneasy.

The power that the opponent just displayed was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

This war was not a righteous war to defend one's homeland, so the morale of the Kachidon army wavered at an astonishing speed.

Roger was still chatting with Sake.

I glanced casually at the east bank.

They discovered that the Greywater River was densely packed with people kneeling on the ground! "What are they doing...?"

Roger was amazed by their synchronized posture.

"They surrendered."

"Very skilled."

Brandon yawned and gave a fair assessment.

"And what about Earl Katchidon?"

"He won't do anything to these surrendered people, will he?"

Roger asked casually.

"Won't."

Brandon answered very affirmatively.

Before Roger could ask a question.

He pointed to the fat, white man by the river who looked like a wild boar and said, "Look, he's the one who led the surrender."

Speaking of which...

His gaze toward Roger was filled with admiration. "Mr. Bard, you really know how to surprise people."

"I always thought you were just a skilled Martial Artist, but I never expected..."

Speaking of which...

He suddenly lowered his voice, squeezed past Sake, and whispered in Roger's ear, "Unifying the Chaotic Lands is always the Queen's intention, isn't it?"

It's obvious.

Brandon interpreted Roger's actions as the Sea Serpent Queen testing the land-based nations.

This time.

Roger did not deny it.

He simply smiled without saying a word.

There's no need to explain this too much.

He became king somewhat by accident.

He had no idea how much control Diana had over the Chaotic Lands.

However, judging from the information Roger gathered...

The Country of Chaos is currently surrounded by enemies on all sides.

Using the Queen's snakeskin banner at this time wouldn't be a bad idea.

that's all.

The Battle of the Greywater River came to a temporary end in a way that no one could have imagined.

The Earl Katchidon, who had surrendered, was taken into Diana's camp in fear.

The two sides discussed the post-war treaty in a peaceful and amicable manner.

His army was kept under tight guard by the troops of the Chaotic Lands.

The captured soldiers showed no signs of wanting to escape.

Their morale has plummeted to rock bottom.

Conversely.

The soldiers under Diana's command were extremely excited.

They thought they were watching a spectacular dragon-slaying drama.

Who would have thought that the protagonist would be their own king! Roger's strength and bravery inspired them.

When guarding prisoners of war and confiscating supplies, everyone held their heads high and stood tall! And that's not all.

They would often deliberately take a detour past Roger.

Before they could even get close...

They bowed with great enthusiasm and said, "Your Majesty!"

"Greetings, Your Majesty!"

"Long live the King!"

The people in the Chaotic Lands are not very cultured; they only know a few lines over and over again.

But Roger was still overjoyed to hear it.

However, he did not interfere in Diana's military affairs.

They simply asked the Woodpecker and their crew to help dispose of the green dragons' corpses.

These guys are too big.

If Cindy and her little fairies were to handle it, it would probably take days and nights.

In practice...

Even the devils found it very difficult to deal with.

It took them most of the day to pile the twenty-odd dragon heads together as Roger had requested!

It was evening.

Greywater River.

The huge dragon heads were piled up to form a lush green hill.

The scene was particularly spectacular and terrifying.

It attracted the attention of countless people.

Nobody knew what Roger was planning.

Brandon's eyes grew increasingly suspicious. "You must be crazy!"

"You don't really want to fight that old dragon to the death, do you?"

Roger casually downed another bottle of Turtle Power Fortifier and mumbled a reply, "Otherwise what?"

Brandon shook his head.

However, he was originally a carefree and easygoing guy.

After the initial surprise and doubt.

He then firmly gripped the greatsword at his waist. "I support you."

"If you want to slay a dragon, I'll fight you to the bitter end!"

Roger couldn't help but roll his eyes at him—

This guy is shameless! Mikado's scheme was most likely set up against Brandon.

If it weren't for Roger...

That guy must have been taken north by those green dragons.

Could this person really be the reincarnation of Khunan?...

As the two were talking.

The arrangements Roger requested have been completed.

He waited there for a while.

A moment later.

The Divine Art Badge swelled slightly.

Cecilia: The Queen tells you to go ahead and do it;

As long as you don't get killed on the spot, it's fine.

Upon seeing this, Roger breathed a sigh of relief.

Before the dragon-slaying action begins.

He had already greeted Cecilia.

This is out of respect for the Queen.

After all, he still holds the title of "the Queen's Right Hand".

The other party's reply was also quite interesting.

Roger analyzed it carefully.

These two sentences each have at least one layer of meaning:...

First, the Queen allowed Roger to slay the dragon in her name.

Second. In the upcoming battle, as long as Roger isn't instantly killed, the Queen will cover for him.

After confirming the Will of the Strong being on this planet.

Roger quickly took out a special divine scroll from the Tinder Pouch.

"Phantom Spell (8th Ring Divine Spell): When used, it can spread events that occur in the corresponding scene to various locations within a certain period of time in the form of 'regional phenomena'."

Roger tore open the scroll's seal and tossed it to Sake, who was eager to try it out.

The latter opened his mouth and swallowed it, then asked:

"Master, should we just call out to him?"

Roger nodded.

"You need to come up with a suitable excuse, so that people don't think we're in the wrong."

He added a sentence.

Sake nodded happily.

After dismissing the rest of the people.

Sake dashed to the vicinity of "Dragon Head Mountain" and then suddenly spat out the scroll!

A faint divine glow began to surround Sake and the surrounding environment.

The Azure Wolf Emperor leaped onto the top dragon head, adjusted his posture to face north, and began his righteous declaration of war:

"Augustus Micardo!"

Sake's Common Language is not standard, but it is very distinctive, and he attracts everyone's attention as soon as he opens his mouth.

"You despicable, shameless old beast!"

"Not only have they dominated the Central Mountain Range for hundreds of years, but they also dare to secretly interfere in the Battle of the Greywater River!"

"The Country of Chaos has now officially declared war on Mikado. Our reasons for declaring war are..."

Speaking of which...

Sake hesitated for a moment.

He suddenly had a brilliant idea and shouted sharply to the north, "You've given birth to too many!"

"Right!"

"Shameless green dragons, you have wasted too many of this world's precious resources. Your very existence is a disgusting thing!"

"As the supreme commander of this war, Lord Sake —that is, I—have decided to officially name this war the ' Mikado Green Dragon Sterilization' War!"

"If you don't dare to step out of the Central Mountain Range, then we'll come in ourselves..."

Under the astonished gazes of both sides' soldiers.

Sake spoke arrogantly for almost ten minutes!

Later on.

Roger couldn't help but look at him with new respect.

This guy's got something.

It's amazing that he could talk for so long without having prepared a script!

Although Sake's vocabulary was not elegant, it was easy to understand and could strike a chord with the green dragons, far exceeding Roger's expectations of him!

After all, having a sycophant declare war is already the greatest insult to Mikado Green Dragon.

The data is displayed in the data column.

Under the influence of the "Phantom Art" scroll.

Sake's speech, delivered while standing atop the dragon head mound, spread rapidly across the southern lands like a regional broadcast.

"Hint: ' Sake's Speech' has spread to the Gem Country (Country of Lyres / Jungle Country /East Coast/ Drovas / Green Dragon Mountain Range) in the form of an anomaly, and all bards of level 15 and above can sense this."

"Now it depends on Augustus's ability to withstand it."

Roger looked north with some anticipation:

"Is he still investigating me?"

Deep in the mountains, hundreds of miles away.

Inside the Green Dragon Temple.

The roar from the Ancient Dragon shattered the eardrums of all the green dragon priests!

"I need that man's information!"

"Immediately!"

"This is absolutely outrageous!"

"Even Quinan wouldn't dare humiliate me like this!"

"I will tear him to pieces!"

"But this could also be a conspiracy by the enemy... I must be patient now... be patient..."

The last sentence.

He seemed to be talking to himself.

Outside the temple.

Countless priests ran around, covering their ears and noses as blood seeped out.

After a lot of trouble.

Finally, someone ran over with a small piece of paper in hand. "Found it."

"Bard is the Martial Artist who recently killed the Deep Sea Giant Serpent, and is suspected to be a loyal follower and lover of the Sea Serpent Queen..."

The hall fell silent immediately.

"Sea Serpent Queen?"

The Ancient Dragon's voice was filled with hesitation.

"Yes!"

The man said very firmly:

"The intelligence source is highly reliable!"

The Ancient Green Dragon sneered, "Very reliable?"

"What have I been telling you? None of your intelligence is reliable!"

How do you know someone isn't just making things up?

The man suddenly knelt on the ground, forcing himself to say, "This information was just publicly announced by the Sea Serpent Church..."

These words were spoken.

The entire Green Dragon Mountain Range fell into a long silence.

After a while.

Not far from the temple.

A newly matured green dragon flew over in a great hurry:

"Augustus, shall we continue fighting?"

With a snap.

Someone slapped him without his noticing.

He was slapped to the ground.

"Screw you!"

Augustus cursed under his breath:

"That woman has quite the appetite. She just consolidated the sea, and now she's testing the land-based kingdoms..."

"Can't you see through such an obvious provocation?"

The green dragon on the ground, its face bruised and swollen, groaned, "But that dog insulted us!"

Let him curse!

Augustus Micardo's voice grew even colder:

"I originally wanted to test Quinan's condition, but I didn't expect their counterattack to be so fierce."

"I now suspect that Bard is the Reincarnation of Quinan!"

"Until this matter becomes clear, I will not leave the Green Dragon Mountain Range, and neither will you!"

"Will their insults affect our rule?"

"Idiot!"

"Sixth Sense: You sense that Sake's speech has further aggravated Augustus Micardo's unease and suspicion, and he is unlikely to act rashly in response to your declaration of war."

"Ah, this..."

Roger looked at the data panel with some surprise.

This old dragon is too Steady, isn't he?

Can someone remain unmoved even when someone points a glimpse of a strange phenomenon at them and insults them? If that's really the case.

Roger, on the other hand, would find it a bit tricky.

He still felt some pressure about actually going to the Green Dragon Mountain Range.

After all, that's their home turf that they've been running for hundreds of years; there could be traps everywhere.

While he was racking his brains trying to figure out what other ways he could provoke the Ancient Green Dragon.

A new message suddenly appeared on the data panel.

Roger was overjoyed upon seeing this!

"Sixth Sense: You sense that ' Augustus ' has changed his mind..."

"Sixth Sense: You've sensed 'Red Leaf's' malice..."

In that very instant.

A hearty laugh echoed through the Green Dragon Temple:

"Augustus".

"Haven't seen you for a long time."

A phantom image of a giant dragon appeared before the statue of the Ancient Dragon.

"Lord Nightmare?"

Augustus surprised.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

"Nightmare" laughed loudly:

"Let's join forces."

"I've been waiting for this moment for a long time."

Augustus immediately guessed the other party's intention and exclaimed in surprise, "You want to kill Bard?"

"What Bard??"

"Nightmare" sneered:

"Isn't it just a trick to Deceive the Heavens?"

"That's Khunan!"

Augustus was silent for a moment:

Is the intelligence accurate?

Nightmare calmly said, "This is Turing's judgment, which I overheard."

"Moreover, I once glimpsed his true face while I was underground."

"There's no mistake, the other ' Brandon ' is probably just a smokescreen..."

At the urging of the Nightmare Dragon.

Augustus, who had already made a similar deduction, completely believed the claim that "Roger was the Reincarnation of Quinan"!

"If it really is Quinan..."

The Ancient Green Dragon is still hesitating.

"Kill!"

The Nightmare Dragon decisively said:

"You are in the open, I am in the shadows, we will kill him!"

The Ancient Green Dragon was somewhat dissatisfied.

But after a moment's thought...

They still agreed.

When to make our move?

He asked.

"Right now."

Nightmare answered.

Excitement gleamed in his eyes. "I've waited five hundred years."

"Now is the best opportunity!"

"I want the people of this planet to understand that the era of Qionan is over!"

Night fell.

The moon is bright and the stars are few.

On both sides of the Greywater River, the soldiers had already withdrawn dozens of miles away from this place.

However, a large number of people appeared on the hilltops on both sides.

Those were henchmen from the southern countries, and there were also fearless onlookers.

After the strange phenomenon spread.

The three southern countries and many other organizations have all taken countermeasures.

A large number of scouts were dispatched immediately.

Thanks to the suspicion of the Ancient Green Dragon.

When most people arrived at top speed with their magic.

The war has not yet begun.

Even so.

Dragon Head Mountain on the Greywater River is also quite impressive.

Roger and Brandon stood side by side on the riverbank, occasionally sensing signs of the use of the image-recording technique.

However, none of them tried to stop them.

The latter enjoyed it and kept changing their 'photo poses' to cooperate with the scouts.

The former, on the other hand, focused all their attention on the north!

A moment later.

Roger's eyes narrowed slightly. "They've arrived."

The words fell.

Then that familiar sonic boom came crashing down from the sky!

Under the gaze of countless eyes.

A colossal dragon, blotting out the sky, swept across the mountains to the north of the Chaotic Lands, heading towards the Greywater River Plain!

Behind him.

It's a densely packed Green Dragon Legion!

"The Chaotic Lands... you are courting your own destruction!"

The chilling dragon language echoed from afar.

They flew incredibly fast, taking less than half a minute from appearing in Roger's field of vision to arriving right in front of him! He gazed at the green dragon at the very front, a full hundred meters long.

Roger's face, which had been stiff for a long time, finally showed a slight smile.

The next second.

His figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

"Notice: By consuming 1 drop of Divine Oil, you have used ' Extracorporeal Avatar: Jade Phoenix Monk ', and your level has reached 129 (temporary)."

"You have gained the rank: Zen 0.8 (temporary)"

"Jade Phoenix Monk: You have used the Dharma Body - Arhat Golden Body!"

"You have acquired ' Sun Piercing Fist ', ' Three Heads Six Arms ', ' Shoulder Carrying Sun and Moon ', ' Moving Mountains and Filling Seas ', ' Buddha's Kingdom in the Palm '...

That moment.

Greywater River.

A red sun slowly rises.

A crescent moon followed closely behind.

This was accompanied by a shocking and bizarre scene.

A towering, golden Arhat appeared between heaven and earth!

He was 80 meters tall and his whole body radiated a dazzling golden light!

The Arhat held a thick and long Demon Subduing Pestle).

Facing the overwhelming Green Dragon Legion.

The Arhat was not afraid at all and raised the weapon in his hand high!

The Ancient Green Dragon flying towards him was taken aback and flapped its wings to dodge to the side.

But at that very moment...

Suddenly, more than a dozen pairs of arms sprouted from the back of the Arhat! On each arm...

Everyone grab a Demon Subduing Pestle!

With a loud bang.

The first Demon Subduing Pestle struck down but missed. But that didn't matter; the Demon Subduing Pestle on the arm near the golden Arhat struck down like a mechanical linkage! Snap! The leading Ancient Green Dragon was instantly knocked to the ground.

Dragon Scale were scattered all over the ground.

A large, bulging lump appeared on his neck! "You..."

His roar hadn't even left his mouth—

Snap! Snap! Snap! In that instant.

Hundreds of Demon Subduing Pestle struck him like a storm!

He was beaten to death in a mere instant!

"You killed the adult green dragon Mantining, who was disguised as an ' Ancient Green Dragon '."

"Extermination Order reward successfully obtained. You have acquired the feat from Mantining: Feign Death."

"Feign Death: Abandoning all life force to preserve the spark of life. As long as a part of the body remains, one can be reborn (each soul can only use Feign Death once in its lifetime)."

"Um?"

Roger didn't realize that the green dragon leading the group was a fake, but he never expected the Extermination Order to bring such a pleasant surprise! The next second...

The golden Arhat opens his mouth wide—

Whoosh! A burst of golden flames swept over the corpse of the green dragon Mantining, burning it to ashes!

The green dragons were terrified.

They never expected that the enemy they were facing would be such a giant, radiating golden light! Driven by those Demon Subduing Pestle.

In a short time.

They scattered like birds and beasts!

"Where do you think you're going!"

Roger gave a low shout, and hundreds of arms extended wildly from his "Three Heads Six Arms" form—

The left hand is responsible for grabbing the dragon.

His right hand is responsible for smashing the head with the Demon Subduing Pestle!

In a short time.

Many green dragons have suffered! The Greywater Plain complete chaos.

No one expected this.

The start of this battle.

It was Roger chasing after the Green Dragon Legion!
