The supply team finally arrived at nightfall. It was said that it was delayed for a long time because of the attack.
Wilds is vast, and even if Ferrum's troops are like a nail buried in front, they can't control the small group of Green Dragon's troops that bypass them and attack for supplies.
However, with the arrival of two troops of 5,000 people each, Left-Wing Legion's battle line has been initially set up. Some harassment and sneak attacks will be swept away one after another, and they will be unable to influence the situation of the battle.
The soldiers seized the time and made fires to make meals overnight. The military rations were barley porridge with minced meat, dried meat and pickled fish. The food was very good. In order to join this war, Ashmark Lineage took out almost all the reserves of the past ten years.
"If this continues, even if we can defeat it, the family will become even weaker, right?"
Ferrum watched this scene and thought silently, "But I can't care about so much right now."
"Ferrum."
Moqi came up and asked, "Zane, when did she ask you to call her mother? Are we still brothers? Why don't you tell me about such a good thing?"
"I feel a little embarrassed."
Ferrum bared his teeth. "I recognized her before when we met in the legion hall. I didn't know her well, and I didn't know why Zane asked me to bow down. I just thought that it was Legendary Dragon after all. She was holding Nether Iron in her hand and said that her mother might be able to seek funding and asylum. But now it seems that there seems to be no difference."
"There is still a difference. At least you can talk to Zane, let her answer questions, and ask for supplies and reinforcements from her. You see, Barloz and Gax have no chance to speak."
Moqi rubbed his paws. "Actually... we both share exactly the same blood. If Zane wants a child, I can also call her mother."
Ferrum glanced at him and shook his head helplessly. "Let's forget it."
"Ferrum boss.
Bido came closer and said, "I just came back from talking with Nickel Dragon, and something is not right."
"What should I say?" Ferrum turned around.
"Everyone is in a very low mood and is too lazy to get motivated. It will definitely not work if this continues. It will have a huge impact on morale."
Bido said, "If Hatchling Dragon doesn't have confidence, the soldiers will definitely be more timid. If the army loses its will to fight and cannot command, we will be defeated before the battle begins."
The leader of the Left-Wing Legion group issued an order, which almost depressed the hearts of the Hatchling Dragon people. They did not expect that after completing the mission, they would launch another attack.
In front of them, Young Dragon Battle Corps stretched across the Emerald Family.
Every Chromatic Dragon in their teenage years is Seventh-Level Calamity, and those with outstanding talents are even higher. However, in Hatchling Dragon's army, even the two Iron Dragon are just Sixth-Level Disaster. Except for Ferrum, only Kेलaili has the power to suppress Juvenile Dragon.
On the other hand, they are also at a huge disadvantage in terms of strength comparison.
"It's almost like dying." Hatchling Dragon all realized this problem.
Ferrum is Archaic Species. He is powerful and can directly talk to the leader of the group and even question him. No matter how much Zane emphasizes, the family will never leave Archaic Species alone.
But these Hatchling Dragon are different. Once they fight, they may fall to death among thousands of troops at any time, just like the fallen Deon Nolantel. Even if they die, no one will care.
After all, there will always be casualties in war, and the weakest dragon is always the first to die.
It would undoubtedly be an unrealistic fantasy to ask Hatchling Dragon to maintain a high fighting spirit under such circumstances.
"Boss Ferrum, there will be another battle soon. Let's gather everyone and talk about it. It can at least boost the morale of the army." Bido suggested.
"What did you say?"
Ferrum whispered, as if talking to himself.
Bido was startled. After thinking for a moment, he couldn't come up with an answer. He was slightly embarrassed and said, "Just say something casually. Ferrum Boss speaks, and everyone will be convinced after all."
"So, is there any wine?"
Ferrum asked, in the past, in Dragonbirth Day, Hatchling Dragon people would get together to drink. Everyone has an almost ritual familiarity with gatherings for drinking. In this situation, drinking some wine is very appropriate.
Bido and Moqi looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time. They came to fight, and they were leaving in a hurry. It was impossible for them to bring wine with them.
"I have."
Barloz, who was sitting on the side, said, "Fireberry Wine, Aino Red, we used to drink it when we were at Ochre Valley. I brought it with me. I originally wanted to give it to my mother, but since you want it, take it out and drink it."
After finishing speaking, he spit out two large wine bags from his throat.
"Too little."
Ferrum took a look and shook his head. "How about pouring it into a pot and mixing it with water? Use a stone bowl to scoop it up and eat it."
"I'm going to find the pot." Bido worked diligently.
Unexpectedly, there was another one, Tungsten Dragon, who also brought alcohol. He was originally Barloz's companion, for the same reason as Barloz.
Attracted by the wine, the Hatchling Dragons gathered around one after another. They were full of energy and didn't need much sleep, but they were in a low mood.
"When it breaks tomorrow morning, we will launch an attack."
Ferrum looked around them. These Hatchling Dragon grew up with him in Ochre Valley. They once fought with each other, but now they fight side by side. Every face is fresh and familiar.
"I can't say more."
Ferrum said, "I just went to conduct reconnaissance with Bido. The enemy's camp is ten miles away. It has a lot of troops and is well-defended. It has obviously been carefully arranged. Facing such an opponent, we may still have a chance to retreat and defend while fighting. However, if we take the initiative to attack, it will be an almost arrogant challenge."
"I considered refusing to obey orders."
Ferrum looked serious and whispered, "Zane cannot bear the burden of our life and death. We can push the battle line here and have exhausted our abilities. There is no reason to risk everything for a tentative order. We can stay put or even retreat."
Gax and Barloz moved slightly and opened their mouths, but neither could speak.
"However, I finally gave up the idea and decided to launch an attack."
Ferrum said, "I want to attack, not because of any military orders, nor because of any gains from the war, but just so that I can survive."
"This is a life-and-death war, and only the winner will survive. If Ashmark Lineage fails, there will be nothing, and I have no confidence in escaping Chromatic Dragon's pursuit."
"So we must win at all costs, even if the cost is ourselves."
"I believe you!"
Moqi suddenly said, "Since we broke out of our shells, we have defeated so many enemies and opponents, whether they are Hidorivi, Kेलaili, Jelierion and Ladon, leader Bearfolk and Mountain King, Ferrum have never lost, so no matter who the enemy is, I am not afraid, we will not lose, we can do it!"
"I believe it too."
Kेलaili walked up to Ferrum: "Only in desperate situations can courage be shown. Ferrum, wherever you lead, we will all follow you."
"After the attack starts, I will try my best to attack every Chromatic Dragon in sight."
Ferrum looked at Hatchling Dragon and said, "But my abilities have limits. Chrome Dragon's defense is weak. I need you to protect me, protect me, and fight alongside me."
"Then, let's connect."
Gax said, "I am eager to kill those Chromatic Dragon. From the first moment I got the news, I have been looking forward to this battle. I will follow you closely. Only death can separate us."
"It would be great if Afterglow were here."
Moqi said softly, "If we can have the support of spellcasters, our assault will become more certain."
"Afterglow..."
Ferrum looked to the northwest, his thoughts racing, and then he shook his head. "Everyone is going to work hard."
"We are from Gray Mountain Black Lake and Windsong Plateau. There is no unified flag. I want to draw a new battle flag."
Ferrum then said, he found a huge piece of fur, cut it into a square shape, and ordered Mountain Goblin who was watching beside him, "Go find some paint."
"No need, just apply it with blood."
Barloz said that when he finished speaking, he directly opened his palm with his hook toe and poured blood on the cloth strip.
"Use mine, Nickel Dragon's blood is not that precious." Bido came up and said.
"Count me in. There's going to be another war soon. If I'm going to die tomorrow, at least I can leave something in this world."
A Tungsten Dragon took the initiative to come closer and said loudly.
His words infected everyone, so the Hatchling Dragons rushed forward with fire in their eyes, cut their claws and arms, and poured their blood on the battle flag.
Ferrum used the dragon blood of Archaic Species to complete the final stroke of thick ink and color, and drew the burning Dragonclaw War Banner. He picked it up with an iron gun and stood on the ground.
"This is our flag." He pointed to the flag and said.
The battle flags fluttered in the wind, making a hunting sound, and Hatchling Dragon gathered under the battle flags.
"Zane will not be responsible for our life and death, so I will be responsible for your life and death. As long as this flag has not fallen, I am not dead and we have not failed."
Ferrum and each Hatchling Dragon looked at each other, and finally drank the wine in one gulp, stretched out his claws to hold it, and the stone bowl in his claws turned into powder and fell.
"We must win this battle by relying on our own strength. No matter who is standing in front of us, no one can stop our determination."
"Scattered Fire Sets the Plains Ablaze!"
Hatchling Dragons crushed the stone bowls one after another.
After many years, Tungsten Dragon started humming again. They slapped the ground and sang. It was an ancient war song with a desolate and distant melody.
In ancient times, Heavy-Metal Dragon drank heavily in the palace of Supreme, roared and conquered all realms, and sang this kind of war song.
"Come on, come on!"
Gax and Barloz began to roar, which was originally a song composed by Iron Dragon. Then Chrome Dragon, Cobalt Dragon and Nickel Dragon also joined in one after another. Their songs rose and fell like the tide, sweeping across the wilderness.
In the distance, Young Dragon silently stared at the firelight on the high ground, listening to the majestic singing singing across the wilderness. She had no way to stop them from running towards Battlefield, and could only reluctantly encourage them.
But at this moment, there is no need to say anything.
They have grown up.
"Scattered Fire Sets the Plains Ablaze."
Young Dragon repeated this sentence in his heart, turned around and left silently.
Time passes like water, and a new year comes. This is the year Scaled Era 8154. Starting from this winter night, Ferrum·Solaxus is gradually called the leader and regarded as the leader by the Hatchling Dragons of Ashmark Lineage.
