The situation on Battlefield was changing rapidly. Ferrum ordered the troops to give way and led Hatchling Dragon to retreat, leaving the position to the main force brought by Valyria to take over.

On the other side, the main force of the Emerald Legion also swept away the collapsed Young Dragon Battle Corps in a tragic and cruel way, carrying them with them and rushing forward.

"Attack! Destroy all obstacles in front of you!"

Emerald Legion's Young Dragon is also roaring, "Ashmark Lineage will perish today!"

The dead Keluoluoli set her defense line between the wilderness, with swamps on both sides, which can be regarded as a natural barrier, allowing her to concentrate her forces to maintain the frontal defense line and fight the enemy around Pyongyang between the swamps.

But when the main force of the Emerald Legion arrived, the situation was completely different. They came not to defend but to attack, and they had an absolute advantage in strength.

After observing the terrain, the two Young Dragon immediately cast spells to harden and solidify the swamp, and forcibly widened the Battlefield to give the troops a larger attack space. They then faced Iron Dragon in the air for a while.

Valyria was one against two, and actually briefly gained the advantage.

She used all her strength as soon as she appeared, and every attack was like a landslide, overwhelming Green Dragon. Finally, she was forced to retreat to the crowd of thousands of troops. She no longer acted arrogantly, but just drove the soldiers to attack blindly.

They showed weakness and retreated, and Valyria was sensible enough not to pursue them. She must not go deep alone. Once trapped among thousands of troops, not to mention Young Dragon, even Adult Dragon would perish.

The shouts of killing overwhelmed everything else. Soldiers from both sides were constantly falling, and new soldiers moved forward over the corpses. Any target that took risks or was too eye-catching would be immediately overwhelmed by more enemy troops.

That eye-catching front line is like the gaping mouth of an abyss, mercilessly devouring the lives of all intruders.

Ferrum led his troops to retreat to a farther place to avoid being affected by the spell attack.

Hatchling Dragon chose a high place to watch the battle. The soldiers took the time to rest and try to recover their strength. The clan leaders quickly organized the troops, re-appointed captains at all levels, and selected the warriors who were still able to fight.

"The winner can't be decided in a short time."

Barloz whispered that Hatchling Dragon was the only one in the regiment who still had some strength left, "However, the enemy's troops are ahead, and our main force is gradually surrounded."

Tree Demon of different shapes spread out to both sides in a mighty force, pressing towards the Left-Wing Legion. Not only did Green Dragon have the upper hand, but there were also a large number of spellcasters hidden in the army.

Brilliant spells continued to explode at the front line. Ashmark Lineage's soldiers could only raise their shields on their heads to block, holding on with their flesh and blood, and then responded with flying axes and bows, but their killing capabilities were obviously not at the same level.

"If we have a force composed purely of Wyvern, we can kill those spellcasters from the air first." Ferrum said.

"Yes."

Barloz said, "The first and second Warband each have a thousand-man team composed of Wyvern, but they are now located in the central Battlefield."

Ferrum looked slightly thoughtful and suddenly asked, "Does the enemy have any reinforcements?"

He subconsciously turned to the back, but found no one answered, and then remembered that the assistant he relied on was not Moqi, nor Kेलaili, but Bido.

During these childhood years, Nickel Dragon has been responsible for delivering messages and collecting intelligence, so every time Ferrum asks questions like this, the person who answers is always Bido.

"The enemy may have reinforcements."

Ferrum lowered his gaze and asked himself, "The information we received in advance is that Emerald Family brought a total of 60,000 troops. The defeated Young Dragon Battle Corps had 15,000 troops. Two Young Dragon brought more than 40,000 main troops to the battle. At least three to five thousand people are missing."

Five thousand is by no means a small number. Ferrum has been operating in Windsong Plateau for many years, and they can only gather a force of 700 people. If they march in a column of four people parallel, a team of 5,000 people can stretch for several miles from beginning to end.

In Wildlands, only a few hundred people are needed to occupy a village, and 5,000 people are enough to complete control of an area.

This is a full force of Ashmark Lineage and Warband. It is only because the scale of this war is so large that it does not seem to be conspicuous.

But if used properly, it still has the ability to turn the tide of a battle.

"The remaining five thousand people should be the confidants of leader Green Dragon, so they will not go to war easily."

Barloz said.

What Ferrum doesn't know is that because of the Dark Elf Empire's visit, Emerald Family has already transferred one Young Dragon to withdraw from Battlefield with three thousand people, and returned to Kingdom of Thern, leaving Sylvia with only the last two thousand people.

In order to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop, Green Dragon's troops can be said to have gone out in full force.

"The enemy's Winged Lizard fell down." Barloz said again.

The Winged Lizard riders who originally surrounded Young Dragon finally attacked. Seeing an opportunity, they immediately attacked Valyria's weakly defended flanks, merged with Tree Demon, and fought feverishly, forcing the Ember Scar warriors to retreat one after another, and a gap appeared in the entire front line.

Valyria had to go up personally to fill the gap, and Green Dragon followed her actions closely.

"Can't be rushed away."

Kेलaili recovered some strength and slowly climbed up to take a look.

Shen Xiong's horn sounded again from behind, and the bloody smell that came into the wind suddenly became stronger for a moment.

A brand new force climbed over the hillside, roaring to come for reinforcements. They wore extremely thick iron armor and made a clanking sound when walking. Heavy axes more than two meters long were carried in the claws of those Gnoll with one hand. The continuous flash of light on the blade was like a piece of steel thorns.

"Bloodaxe Warband!"

Gray Mountain Black Lake's most powerful troops joined Battlefield, advancing quickly, Barloz cheered up. "That's Bloodfire Guards, mother's bodyguard, mother is also going to fight!"

It was clearly a heavily armored Warband, but it was as fast as a cavalry. The Gnolls fluttered their flying manes and smashed into the Battlefield like a falling hammer.

Tree Demon, which had already gained the upper hand, was shocked by this desperate advance. Their counterattacks were like nothing in front of the heavily armed soldiers, and they could only retreat continuously with the ferocious slaughter.

With the addition of this heavy-armed Warband, the situation has become anxious again.

But after waiting for a long time, Zane did not appear.

"What?" Barloz was surprised and unsure.

"Lord."

Yazi came up to report, and he was ordered to go and count the troops, "The soldiers have been fighting since dawn until now. They are exhausted. Even if they still have the fighting spirit, their bodies can no longer support them. There are only less than 400 people who can still fight."

Ferrum nodded slightly. If he really ran out of energy, forcing Battlefield on him would only lead to death, so Ferrum didn't force it.

"We still have a thousand warriors who are willing to fight."

Gago came from the other direction. "Obey Archaic Species's order."

The sixth Warband arrived later, and the quality of the soldiers was relatively higher, so even if they had served as the vanguard to break the formation, there were still many soldiers who were still capable of fighting.

"Then, we will also attack."

Ferrum's diaphragm wing indicated that as long as he could still fight, he would not retreat.

The companions stayed where they were, watching Ferrum take the lead and lead the troops back to Battlefield. His soldiers once again aroused their bloody spirit while galloping and roared one after another.

Barloz saw the white light piercing the front line like a spear, then turned into a long knife and swept across, dodging, jumping, leaping and flying. Tree Demon that were close to him broke apart one after another. The enemies on the front line were forcibly penetrated by the small group of troops he led.

"Archaic Species, it's really heartbreaking."

Barloz whispered, "He is our brother."

However, even with the addition of several new forces, Emerald Legion still occupies an absolute advantage. Green Dragon's troops seem to be inexhaustible, and they are constantly crowded.

As time went by, no matter Valyria, Ferrum or Bloodfire Guards, they all began to feel tired. They were injured again and again, many of the injuries had reached deep into their bones.

"I want to gather the elite and launch a charge."

After a long time, Valyria came to Ferrum and blocked the spell coming from the side for him, "You come and take over the command."

"Charge?"

Ferrum glanced at the young man Green Dragon in the distance, and saw the dense army around him, and shook his head. "I am unable to command such a huge army. Instead of charging, it is better to cover the troops and retreat layer by layer. We have achieved enough results and can retreat."

The result of their deliberations has not yet been determined, but the face of Green Dragon in the distance suddenly changed, and he raised his head and let out a long groan.

"Withdraw troops!"

"Back to the rescue!"

Two young men Green Dragon took off one after another, roaring, "Emerald Legion listen to the order, withdraw the troops! Return for reinforcements!"

As orders were issued one after another, the situation on Battlefield also changed drastically. Emerald Legion, which originally had the advantage, suddenly gave up the attack and began to retreat.

The Ember Scar warriors who were fighting hard felt their pressure drop suddenly. They didn't know what was happening, but when they saw the enemy turn around and reveal their backs, they generated more strength out of thin air and hacked and slashed even more fanatically.

However, no matter how hard Ashmark Lineage's warriors pursued them, Emerald Legion lost any fighting spirit and just retreated blindly, returning along the road they came from.

Green Dragon left Battlefield anxiously, Young Dragon flew away, and Juvenile Dragon also fled with it.

"Are you going to pursue me?" Ferrum asked.

"No."

Valyria shook his head. "Zane should have attacked Crownwood Labyrinth, forcing Emerald Legion to turn back, but she will not fight for a long time and will leave from other routes. We agreed to meet at Gray Sand River Stone Fortress."

As the Green Dragons retreated, Left-Wing Legion also gradually withdrew from this Battlefield.

With fewer enemies and more enemies, they killed nearly 20,000 Emerald Legion soldiers, and the Hatchling Dragon soldiers also cut off the head of one Young Dragon. This was already a great victory, and should be celebrated, even celebrated.

After quickly arranging everything, Valyria took Hatchling Dragon and returned to Gray Sand River Stone Fortress first.

It wasn't until long after they arrived that a faint flash of light appeared in the northwest. Legendary Iron Dragon faced the setting sun and hit the open space of the camp, almost falling.

"Mother!"

Barloz roared in shock.

Everyone's expressions changed, because Zane's body was covered with scars carved by knives and axes, with bones visible and blood flowing profusely. Her scales turned into a strange dark green color, and ominous black smoke emitted.

"Go away."

Zane scolded Barloz who wanted to get closer. He tried his best to stand up and staggered towards the stone castle.

"Get out of the way, don't come close!"

Valyria also warned. She saw that Zane's body was covered with poison. The soldiers just inhaled the air around her, and their faces swelled to the color of pig liver, making it almost difficult to breathe.

"No need to worry about the Emerald Family in the future."

Zane walked into the stone castle alone, and a weak voice came from inside. "Sylvia·Tिली, I have already killed him."
