We've Struck It Rich

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh..." Screams of agony kept coming out of Augustine's mouth.

This handsome, powerful, and Legendary Boss was almost driven mad.

Everyone around him kept their distance and looked at him with disdain.

Because behind Augustine crawled a witch covered in rotting flesh, with disgusting black maggots constantly emerging from her body, and she was also licking Augustine's face with her decaying tongue...

Augustine was so frightened that he unleashed his full Battle Aura, becoming like a human torch, but his Battle Aura had no effect on the witch.

Especially since the witch suppressed his power and attributes, although it didn't harm him, it was still quite...

"What the hell is this?" Augustine forced himself not to turn around, but the slippery feeling on his face, the sensation of tiny insects crawling on it, kept making him unconsciously fantasize.

"My lord, it's... a curse, isn't it?" someone replied in terror.

Just then, a Warrior ran over in a panic. "Sir, the brothers on both sides are about to be overwhelmed; hundreds have already fallen."

They weren't the only ones to discover this; other Bounty Hunter also decided they didn't want to continue fighting.

Although the Steel Duchy has collected half of the bounty, the Dragon's disappearance means there's no more bounty to be made.

Continuing to fight the Dawn Legion now will definitely not end well.

Besides, even if they killed William, how many of them would survive? Wouldn't they, as Bounty Hunter, then be at the mercy of the Steel Legion?

Nightmare Warrior Adolf was the first to flee, transforming into a streak of black lightning and heading west down the mountain...

The Bounty Hunter were lucky enough to survive stopped negotiating with Augustine and all fled with Adolf.

After all, this Nightmare Warrior is not only exceptionally strong, but also has a keen eye for danger. Whenever things go wrong, he runs faster than anyone else, which is the key reason why he has survived until now.

Because he... simply isn't greedy!

The escape of the Bounty Hunter will also cause a significant drop in the morale of the Steel Legion's soldiers.

After all, how could the soldiers fighting on both flanks know whether the fleeing guy was a comrade or Bounty Hunter?

Seeing this, Augustine glared at William and waved his hand. "The entire army retreats westward."

"Aaron, lead the troops to hold them off for 10 minutes." After giving this order, Augustine dragged his disheveled body and fled in panic, carrying the witch on his back. He was truly afraid that the curse could not be lifted, and that the days to come would be terrible.

Aaron clenched his fists. He knew that if everyone ran away together, even more people would die, and some would become scapegoats. He roared, "Everyone in the Third Legion, hold the line and protect our friendly forces as they evacuate!"

"Fuck you! Brothers of the Third Legion, retreat! Augustine is a traitor!"

A louder voice suddenly echoed across the battlefield.

Those soldiers who had initially seemed inclined to desert now longed for a new order. Watching the departing Second Legion soldiers, they decisively joined them...

The shouts of "run away!" grew louder and louder.

The cries that Augustine killed people are growing louder.

Aaron gradually found the direction of the voice; it was Dawn Lord, who was being protected by more than a hundred people, shouting!

"Shameless scoundrel!" Aaron clenched his fists and cursed inwardly.

But the current decline is irreversible.

He had no choice but to retreat as well; as for military punishment, he'd deal with that if he survived...

When the Steel Legion withdrew, they almost always avoided William's elite troops, who were positioned in the middle. Coincidentally, William also did not order an offensive to draw fire.

Until some of the slower ones were about to pass by the group of Elf.

The Dawn City Lord suddenly stepped out from among the many experts, beckoned to the dozens of unlucky souls with his finger. "What are you running for? Where do you think you can run to now?"

A captain gradually stopped, and after seeing the group's cold gazes, he twitched his lips and said, "Oh, shit."

Fortunately, this guy was also a lone wolf; he simply threw down his weapon, lay sprawled on the ground, and didn't move. He was exhausted...

His dozens of soldiers stopped running. They threw their weapons on the ground, took off their equipment, and huddled together in their underwear, shivering and rubbing against each other to generate heat.

There's no way around it; if you're too slow and can't find a good escape route, then you either die or surrender.

When the two reinforcements finally arrived at the entrance to the Dragon's Lair, Lotner breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing William unharmed, "It's good that you're alright. Should we still pursue the remaining troops below?"

"Chase! Why not chase? Just chase for an hour. By then, no matter how many people we kill or how many Captives we capture, we'll withdraw by sea." With William's order, more than 5,000 men, except for his Personal Guard and 130 elite soldiers, were dispatched!

Do not pursue a cornered enemy.

The premise is that there's a fear of an ambush.

With today's Steel Legion, there's no need for ambushes. Whether you capture or kill, it's a sure win.

"It's a pity we didn't kill Augustine and Makulide." William was also surprised. He didn't expect Makulide to appear here. He regretted not being able to kill this troublesome Black Warlock.

"But now is not the time to chase them. You all guard the cave entrance and prevent those Dragon Clan from taking advantage of the chaos to come over." After saying this, William immediately rushed into the dragon cave, intending to plunder the Dragon's treasure.

He didn't believe Augustine had had time to loot the dragon's lair.

But we can't waste too much time.

The Dragon Clan have retreated because they have long feared the threat of Dragon. Once they come to their senses, they will naturally return to plunder the dragon's lair.

William was incredibly fast, running wildly down the dragon's body without stopping.

Meanwhile, the temperature in the air is also rising sharply.

Without the Dragon's suppression, the volcanic Magma began to boil, and he felt as if he were walking through a sea of fire.

But he was incredibly fast, almost as if he had foresight, and could easily avoid places that spewed Magma or might contain Magma.

He ran until he reached a wide river of Magma, paused briefly, and then leaped up, landing squarely on a protruding black rock in the Magma.

They didn't linger for long.

He leaped up again, the Magma covering the stone beneath his feet, and he found himself on another rock.

With blue smoke rising from his feet, William nimbly leaped across the rocks until he crossed the Magma river.

And at this point...

With no obstacles in sight, William had arrived at the location of the Fire Dragon's treasure!

"It's a good thing I drowned in Magma countless times in my past life..." William scoffed. In his past life, he had Dragon-Slaying Dungeon about the East Sea Snow Mountain.

Aside from the Legendary-Class dungeons, which have a one in a thousand chance of yielding Dragon Blood, the vast majority of the East Sea Snow Mountain dungeons only yield some Dragon Scale.

Of course, Dragon Scale also come in different qualities; the higher the difficulty of the dungeon, the higher the quality of the Dragon Scale.

This is why he runs the Dragon Dungeon – to craft equipment!

But since this place can be turned into a dungeon, it means that the Fire Dragon has already been killed, and even if Player run it countless times, they won't get many rewards.

Even the Dragon's treasure is nothing more than some treasure chests...

Perhaps you can get some high-quality gems, or some equipment, Gold Coin, etc.

But then William turned a corner.

When he saw the mountain of Gold Coin, treasure chests, gems, and other treasures, he couldn't help but widen his eyes. "Holy crap..."
