Invincible

Augustine emerged from the dense forest, taking several deep breaths. The long conversation had made him very uncomfortable; he didn't like facing Black Warlock like Makulide, as they gave him a sense of oppression.

Augustine squinted, pondering for a moment. "This old fellow never mentioned before that a life Sacrifice is required to activate the Magic Formation that poses a deadly threat to Dragon."

"Damn Makulide, does he want my soldiers to die?" Augustine thought to himself, shaking his head with a grim expression.

Although he was not a citizen of the Steel Duchy, these men were his soldiers. Now that they were following him, he would never let them sacrifice their lives in vain.

Even if it's for the sake of Dragon Slaying, one shouldn't do something so short-sighted as killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

The objectives of capturing Dawn City and the Blackrock Duchy are even more important, and preserving military strength is even more crucial. He must distinguish between primary and secondary objectives. The Dragon Slaying can wait, but attacking the chaotic Blackrock Duchy is an opportunity that cannot be missed.

"Then I can only lure out some Dragon Clan and use them as sacrifices!" Augustine raised an eyebrow. For the time being, this was the only option he could think of. He couldn't think of many other solutions.

After all, Makulide had said that he had placed a sound-isolating Magic Formation at the entrance to the Dragon Cave.

As long as the mountain doesn't start shaking, even if you wipe out the entire Fire Dragon clan, the pig won't wake up. This shows that Makulide also meant the same thing, but he will definitely lose some soldiers in the end.

Augustine climbed to the treetop, glanced at the East Sea Snow Mountain not far away, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, "One more day."

William, leading his elite force of 2,000, finally caught up with the trail of the Steel Duchy. The place where they stopped was the same spot where Augustine had rested the previous night.

Some flowers and plants on the ground were bent over, and some were even uprooted by careless hands. There were many scratches on the surrounding trees, probably because some soldiers were bored and even carved some obscene pictures on the tree trunks...

Of course, this is a common occurrence and is not something anyone left intentionally.

William followed along, and at almost every place they stopped to rest, many traces were left behind.

With two Legion under Augustine command, it was impossible for each individual to possess exceptional military skills. Moreover, with so many people, it was difficult to avoid leaving traces of their past in the forest.

Even Albert, that Buff Guy, will occasionally unleash a Battle Aura Slash when he's bored...

The felled trees were more clearly visible.

certainly.

The key point is that William had no pursuers behind him, so he didn't need to be so meticulous, and everyone knew that.

"Augustine doesn't seem to be on guard against me at all. Is he really that confident?" William scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.

Why didn't Augustine leave behind even a single scout, or did he leave something behind that he didn't realize?

According to his memories from his previous life, Augustine was not only exceptionally strong in combat, but also demonstrated remarkable wisdom in the Freedom Alliance, which he had fully developed after the Steel Duchy was destroyed by the Dark Invasion.

But William forgot...

Whether it's a human or an NPC, everyone needs to grow!

Augustine was now merely a proud young man.

He and Goethe Narcissus had known each other since childhood, and together they created the Freedom Alliance. Their journey wasn't exactly smooth sailing, but through their combined efforts, they gained control of the Steel Duchy in just a few years. Why wasn't Augustine proud?

Furthermore, Augustine had no shortage of Epic-Class warriors under his command, and his army was also larger than William's.

What does he have to be afraid of?

Add to that an inside man like Makulide.

Why would Augustine be afraid?

He accomplished such a great feat at the young age of 28, taking control of a Duchy. Why did he lack confidence?

You need to know.

Only utter failure can make a person grow or fall. The current Augustine has not yet encountered a fatal setback, nor is he far from having the shrewdness and wisdom of his previous life.

certainly.

The key point is that Augustine never fought against the Elf Legion.

It could even be said that many Human Countries on the Legendary Continent have long forgotten the true fighting power of the Elf Legion.

The Second Era was ruled by Elf on the Gods Continent, but the Third Era belongs to humankind!

Humanity is the victor of today, and history will naturally be written by them.

However, many historians have greatly downplayed the fighting power of the Elf, which has led many Human Countries to underestimate Elf.

Ultimately, some Duchy, Grand Duchy, and even a few Kingdom, unable to directly contact the Elf, could only learn about Elf through historical records. They knew only of the Elf ' mystery, but not of their power...

certainly.

Powerful Kingdom and empires like these would surely face history squarely, remember the Elf ' strength, recognize their strengths, and strike hard at their weaknesses, striving to ensure they could never leave the forest.

After a short rest, William, with 2,000 elite troops, cautiously continued to track Augustine's forces.

He believed that as long as he didn't take any rash actions, he wouldn't suffer a complete defeat.

If we win the battle against the Dragon.

He will reap the greatest rewards in version 1.0, laying a solid foundation for his later rise.

Time flies.

Lotner led 4,500 men in 13 large ships, sailing along the coastline at a significantly faster pace; they were already approaching the East Sea Snow Mountain.

They made no attempt to conceal their activities, as these ships dared not venture too far into the sea. After all, the large ships built today are only suitable as large fishing vessels and are far from being Warship.

However, an Epic-Class Warship is already halfway built, with its overall structure nearly complete.

The only thing missing now is...

Dragon Bone!

Only now did Lotner truly understand why William hadn't used some better materials as the Dragon Bone; if he had, then Epic-Class Warship would have been completed long ago.

"That's because... his true purpose is also to Dragon Slaying!" Lotner couldn't help but clench his fists, his blood boiling.

Dragon Slaying!

This is the dream of every man on the Legendary Continent!

The title of "Dragon Slayer" is a lifelong Glory.

He could hardly imagine when William had come up with this idea.

"Six months ago, he was searching everywhere for a shipbuilder, but after the Moonlight Elf Grandmaster shipbuilder was found, the Shipyard has only been able to build some large fishing boats..."

As for the Warship's hull, it has been under construction, but the materials used are simply unimaginably expensive!

As William's executive officer, Lotner knew almost everything William knew.

Six months ago in Dawn City, there were nearly 200,000 Gold Coin in the Kuri.

William spent nearly 80,000 Gold Coin on that Epic Warship!

Even other existing materials, Mithril, Copper Essence, and Iron Essence, were thrown into the Warship like scrap, along with the valuable Black Ironwood...

In William's words, the quality is insufficient?

Let's make up the numbers!

William was determined to build this Warship into Epic Warship, reaching the maximum that a Grandmaster-Class shipbuilder could create.

In short.

This Epic Warship is more valuable than half of Dawn City.

"If we add the true Dragon Bone belonging to the Dragon..." Lotner was lost in thought.

He gazed at the East Sea Snow Mountain, which were about to reach the shore, and murmured, "If we can really achieve this, that Warship will be invincible in this sea area..."
