"He's got some backbone, though."
On the city wall, watching the young master leading the charge, the old members of the Lu Household, who had witnessed the cannibalism for days, finally looked away slightly.
Whether it was because the young general's charge was overshadowed by the dazzling sunlight, or something else, these gloomy old men unconsciously avoided looking in that direction any further.
"Are we really going to let the Northern aristocratic families escape?" a middle-aged woman next to her asked coldly.
Judging from her appearance, she was only in her early thirties, which might be considered the most beautiful age for a woman in modern times. However, everyone in the Lu Household knew that this woman was one of the most senior elders in the Lu Household. Through various secret techniques, she had reached the lifespan limit of a sorcerer as a martial artist, and was almost three hundred years old.
When Lu Ming arrives, everyone must respectfully address her as Second Great-Grandmother!
"It's alright." Whether they didn't want to continue discussing the current situation, they all consciously followed the woman's lead and started talking about it.
"Let those rats run if they want. Now that Earth Mother has awakened, it's barely enough to devour the billion lowly people and most of their bloodline descendants they abandoned. We can't feed them too much, otherwise, why would they obediently attack Jiangnan?"
"That's true."
"That great formation in Jiangnan won't last long. The fate of the North is now Jiangnan's tomorrow. When that time comes, I will make the Chen Qing family wish they were dead!"
"Let's go. There's nothing more to see." One of the oldest-looking men glanced wistfully at Wang Shiyu, who was about to rush into the sea. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes. Seeing the Lu Household's evasive gaze, he didn't know what to say for a moment.
The Lu Household of the past, all filled with fervor at the fall of the previous dynasty, were once men who could lead thousands of troops to charge against demons they could not defeat.
If only a little bit of passion could be of use in this world.
Suddenly, or perhaps it was just his imagination, the elderly man seemed to hear a sound.
In fact, the roars of thousands of giant snakes were already incredibly irritating, and they had all tried their best to block out their distant hearing, so they shouldn't have been able to hear any sounds from afar.
Is it just an illusion?
The old man looked up and immediately saw that everyone else was looking up with the same puzzled expression as him!
Is it not an illusion?
The old man suddenly looked in the direction of the sound!
"Father, I have done my best!"
On one side of the dock, the prince charged forward on horseback, fearless and valiant. The horse he was training with understood its master's intentions, and its neighing was like that of a fearless murderer. With its eyes red, it carried its master into the air.
Ahead lay a gigantic maw capable of swallowing heaven and earth; all light in the world seemed destined to be utterly extinguished beneath the monster's gaping maw.
But just as the darkness was about to devour the last glimmer of light, everyone seemed to hear a sound.
Many soldiers who charged alongside the prince instinctively looked over and suddenly saw a burst of light emanating from the vast darkness above!
"Your Highness."
The adjutant shouted suddenly, but the young general, already leaping into the air, could not turn back.
Are you calling me?
Why would you call me at this time?
The prince was puzzled, but faced with that colossal maw ahead, how could he possibly turn back?
Even with no chance of winning, he was prepared to face death head-on at this final moment!
"Your Highness, come upstairs!"
Is that Uncle Guo's voice?
Hearing the roar behind him, Wang Shiyu was taken aback, a smile appearing on his lips. He wasn't dead? That's great.
However, the situation is actually not that different.
"The Crown Prince. The Crown Prince!!"
Um??
Why is everyone calling me?
And what sound was that?
Suddenly, a strange, electric-like sensation spread throughout my body, and the next second, the absolute darkness before my eyes was instantly shattered!
Two enormous forces collided, and only then, standing in the eye of the storm, did he fully realize that the sound he had just heard was not an illusion.
Aww!!
It sounded like a wild beast, but more magnificent and intense than any wild beast's roar, with a thunderous, deep tone and the domineering power of a wild animal's howl!
It's a dragon's roar!!!
The towering waves were rolling so close, and Wang Shiyu could see them most clearly!
That was an incomparably wild power, and the master of that power was not even as big as those giant snakes that were thousands of feet long.
But the power that thing displayed sent this monster, capable of Heaven Swallowing and the earth, flying away!
Yes, it was sent flying. The immense force, accompanied by the crisp sound of bones shattering, sent that colossal being, large enough to blot out the sky, flying away in an instant!
A terrifying storm, formed by immense power, swept in instantly, engulfing the entire dock in a massive wave. But in that very instant, the terrifying power ceased abruptly.
All the soldiers preparing to retreat stared in stunned disbelief at the towering wave crashing down, a wave that seemed capable of obliterating the entire North Sea City. Yet, just as it was about to engulf the city, it stopped!
No, it didn't stop!
The prince could see clearly from high above that the giant waves hadn't stopped; they had been frozen in place!
And the one who accomplished all of this was clearly this incredibly beautiful creature, so close at hand.
Its head resembles that of an ox, its horns that of a deer, its eyes that of a shrimp, its ears that of an elephant, its neck that of a snake, its belly that of a snake, its scales that of a fish, and its claws that of a phoenix.
It's impossible to describe the characteristics of this creature; all I feel is that these strange individuals, when combined into one, are so beautiful!!
"Is it a dragon?"
In the distance, the Lu Household watched this scene in disbelief!
The snake-man who had originally left also appeared on the city wall, looking on in astonishment.
How is that possible?
The dragon was incredibly majestic, as fiery as a phoenix, and its gaze was so intense that just one look caused everyone's vision to become hazy, prompting them to quickly and warily avert their eyes.
I only realized when I closed my eyes that most of my eyeballs had frozen!
" Dragon King Breed??" The giant snake, ignoring its frozen and necrotic eyeballs, still glared fiercely at that direction, its body churning with black energy!
At this time... specifically at this time, how could this be?
That shouldn't be the case!
Meanwhile, all the soldiers below stared blankly at the beautiful creature. Unlike the Lu Household on the city wall, the soldiers, though staring directly at it, did not suffer from eye frostbite; they were simply stunned by the sight.
In that darkness, everyone believed that even the descent of gods and Buddhas could not save them.
But now, a miracle has truly occurred!
This thing is even more magnificent than a god!
"It's a dragon!!"
"Is it really a dragon?"
"Exactly like the storyteller's description. No, those damn storytellers couldn't even capture the slightest nuance. This... is the dragon!"
"Your Highness?" Several lieutenants looked up at the sky. The prince, who should have been pulverized by the immense force of the collision, was now falling slowly like a leaf.
The man and his horse landed safely.
"Your Highness!" Several lieutenants rushed over.
Are you alright?
The young general shook his head, staring blankly at the giant dragon before him, and couldn't help but take two steps forward.
"Your Highness??"
Several lieutenants stepped forward anxiously to protect it. Although this thing had driven away the monster, who could guarantee that it wasn't an even more terrifying monster?
"Father." Ignoring the obstruction, the young general stepped forward and murmured, "Is it you?"
Everyone: "!!!"
