Evolving Silver Dragon-Chapter 506 - : 494 Backyard Fire_1

Chapter 506: 494 Backyard Fire_1

For this surprise attack, Gaz and his team had been preparing for a long time.

Originally, Gaz had planned for a lightning-quick strike with the help of rats from within, aiming to capture Lima Fortress unexpectedly.

At the beginning, things were going according to Gaz’s plan.

However, the moment the Child of War appeared, Gaz’s plan was completely disrupted.

When facing absolute power, all schemes and intrigues were in vain.

When the ogres and the quilboar were no match for the Child of War, the trolls, giants, and other top-notch forces of the Soaring Dragon Legion were pushed up to face them.

But still, there was little change in the outcome; when facing the trolls and the mountain giants, the Child of War was just as lethal.

At most, it was a matter of one strike or two.

Though their deaths were slower, the ultimate outcome was still the same.

Moreover, the Child of War’s attacks seemed to have a certain restraining effect on the trolls’ self-healing abilities.

The mountain giants and stone giants were not their match either, and their numbers were also less than the Child of War.

In the end, the Soaring Dragon Legion was driven back, and Gaz’s ambitions were ruthlessly shattered.

The individual strength of the Children of War was just too incredible, and in order to preserve the Soaring Dragon Legion, Gaz gave the order to retreat himself.

He realized that it was difficult to inflict effective damage on the Children of War, other than bombing them from the air.

If the Children of War were merely an elite force with smaller numbers, it would be acceptable.

But according to reports from the rats, these emotionless special soldiers in combat out-numbered ordinary soldiers even more.

As far as it seems, on the ground battlefield, regular monsters are basically just feeding the Children of War with their heads, except for Dragonborn Monsters.

Among the Dragonborn Monsters, only hero units like Mega Fatty can actually hold their ground against the Children of War.

In most cases, they would still lose.

Though the Children of War were indeed strong and had achieved considerable results, the commander of Lima Fortress didn’t let success go to his head.

Upon the retreat of the Soaring Dragon Legion to a certain range, he withdrew to the city at the commander’s request.

Currently, the teleportation gates within the city were not fully constructed, and the allied forces had not yet arrived.

Before making thorough preparations, the commander did not want to take risks.

Furthermore, he did not wholly trust all the allied forces, so to prevent internal fires, it was better to preserve his own strength as much as possible.

This operation against Lima Fortress was a failure, but Gaz did not bother Otto with it. Instead, he discussed the next course of action with Angelina and the others.

If everything went according to plan, Pierce Castle and Lima Fortress would be quiet for a while due to this battle.

————————————-

Nolan Forest, Land of the Soaring Dragon.

Ever since the establishment of the Blackstone Floating City, almost all of the core figures in the center of Otto’s territory had moved away from the Land of the Soaring Dragon.

Without so many big shots around, the Land of the Soaring Dragon had become much quieter.

But after all, this was where Otto built his foundation, and many important industries remained here.

Simply put, without the support of the Land of the Soaring Dragon, there would be no Dragon Soaring Empire today, and there would be no continuous supply of resources for the frontlines.

Due to the importance of this place, Saru rushed back as soon as he received news from Longfang.

However, due to the long distance, it took Saru a lot of time to travel on land.

When this old lizardman finally returned to the Land of the Soaring Dragon, he noticed something was wrong.

There were too many noisy people here, and bearded Vide people could be seen everywhere, all looking busy.

Only after seeing Longfang did Saru understand the reason behind this.

At the moment, the Vide territory, which originally belonged to Lait, was under attack by a mysterious naval force.

If it were only that, it would be fine. After all, the people of Lait had been through a lot of wars and often played the role of pirates, so they were not much weaker when it came to naval battles.

However, the problem was that this unidentified navy claimed to be fighting for justice and had the support of dragons.

Some occasionally seen metal dragons rampaged mercilessly along Lait’s coast, beating the Vide people until they ended up running away in chaos.

With no other choice, they had to shrink the frontlines and take refuge in towns near Nolan Forest and other territories.

At the same time, more and more Vide people came to Nolan Forest seeking supplies.

After learning all this, Saru was immediately taken aback.

“Why didn’t you tell me this sooner?”

Saru furrowed his brows, he knew something had happened in Nolan Forest, but he had no idea it was this serious.

Looking at the old lizardman’s expression, Longfang said with a bitter smile, “At the beginning, all we had to worry about was that mysterious naval force.”

As for the more troublesome metal dragons, they appeared later.

Of course, I was already preparing to inform you about this, but I didn’t get a chance to send it out yet…”

After saying that, Longfang took out a magic crystal he had just recorded information on. The meaning was clear.

Regarding this matter, Saru didn’t question further; instead, he focused on finding a solution.

From the information provided by Longfang, the metal dragons currently rampaging in Lait Territory were not few in number.

Among the dragon species, information on five types of metal dragons, except for Silver Dragons, was all mentioned in Longfang’s intelligence report.

Longfang had gathered detailed information about all the recent events in the magic crystal.

Since Saru had already returned to the Land of the Soaring Dragon, it saved them from having to find someone else to deliver the crystal.

Now, Saru was frowning as he carefully read the information in the crystal.

After a while, he finally finished reading, and a decision was made in his heart.

At present, most of the elite forces in both the Land of the Soaring Dragon and the Vide Territory had been deployed to the battlefield against the Western Empire.

Wanting to confront a considerable number of dragons with only the few remaining troops was obviously unrealistic.

However, though the Dragon Soaring Empire had been established for a short while, its foundation was far from simple.

It seemed that it was time to use some deeply hidden hidden forces.

With this thought, Saru, who had just returned to the Land of the Soaring Dragon, got up and prepared to leave once again.

Before leaving, he looked at Longfang.

The situation on the frontlines was becoming more tense, and now that something like this had happened around Nolan Forest, it was like a fire in the back yard.

“Try to avoid conflict with the enemy as much as possible. I’m going to the Land of Red Flames, wait for me!”
