Chapter 345– Earth dragon advance – Part 6.
[Current location: Elven capital city.]
"The earth dragon clan reinforcements have been spotted arriving through the sea and getting to the land." – said the elven messenger.
"But there was also something else, an unknown ship."
"At first, some people in hoods left the ship…. But then they started opening gates, from then brought our several angels and demons."
"…"
"The enslaved ones, eh?" – said the queen.
"I guess the earth dragon clan had called for the reinforcements from the organization?"
(I wasn't expecting earth dragon clan to get any reinforcements right now, considering the current situation…. Still, we won't lose.)
(Even though they had destroyed one of our cities located at the frontlines, we still have a somewhat solid line of defense.)
(And our capital city is one of the most heavies fortified cities in the whole kingdom, we also have the support from the World Tree, meaning that the earth dragon tribe won't be able to break through defenses.)
(Not only that, but the dragons had already gotten pregnant and are about to lay eggs.)
(I was planning on sending these dragons on the frontlines, but their bodies by the looks of things, had reached the limit…. Oh well, we only wanted these dragons to lay as many eggs as possible before they die.)
(These mutated dragons will probably die soon from giving birth to too many eggs… But we shouldn't let our guard down yet.)
(If the eggs are not protected, then this entire operation will fail.)
(Still, we will win this.)
[Sometime later: Earth dragon clan.]
"Thank you for coming comrades." – said the earth dragon general as he greeted another earth dragon in their human form.
"No problem." – said the earth dragon in their human form, who had a scarred face alongside a missing eye.
"Still…. Do you really think this won't be enough?"
"…I honestly don't know." – said the earth dragon general.
"These bastards were prepared for anything that we would have thrown at them."
"If it wasn't for the Doctor guy and his plague, then we- "
"Excuse me." – said the hooded figure that approached the two dragons.
"Hm? If I'm not mistaken, you are with the delivery squad from the organization, yes?" – asked the earth dragon general.
"Yes." – replied the hooded figure.
"We are currently looking for the Doctor, since he ordered some items from us."
"?"
"Items?" – said the confused earth dragon general.
"Sorry for being late." – said Doctor as he approached the group.
"Doctor here."
"…."
"Yes…. Please come this way. The stuff that you had ordered had just been unloaded." – said the man in the hood.
"Thanks." – said Doctor as he started walking after the hooded figure.
"Hold it." – said the earth dragon general.
"?" – Doctor was stopped by the earth dragon general.
"I never heard anything about you ordering anything."
"Well, it's not like you cannot allow me to buy stuff." – said Doctor.
"And there is also the fact that this was a last-minute order that I did before they set off to."
"…"
"Still, knowing you, you must have ordered something nasty." – said the earth dragon general.
"I did." – replied Doctor without hesitation.
"But I don't think you can really complain right now, since this may be the only thing that can save this lost war."
"…. Well then, please lead the way." – said Doctor as he walked past the two dragons and followed the hooded figure.
"…"
"I don't like him." – said the dragon with scars.
"Yea, I don't like him either." – said the earth dragon general.
"But the annoying thing about him is the fact that his tactics work…. With is the most terrifying part."
…
With the arrival of the earth dragon clan reinforcements as well as the organization borrowed army, the situation for us somewhat got better, but not enough…. And so, I will be using Maparapara plan.
It took bit of convincing, but I was able to hold off the attack for the moment, while also asking Thanatos to return back, since she will be needed.
Anyway.
What is Maparapara plan?
Well…. Something extremely simple.
Too simple in fact that there is no way that it could work.
However,…. Her plan has also have an trick…. So maybe it could work?
But there are two problems.
First is the lack of control.
The second is cost. I've spent a lot of special points as well as my own money to get all the necessary materials... But if that plan works, then the entire cost will be worth it.
However, this is still an big gamble….. Oh well, I've decided to "fuck it" anyway, so I don't have any rights to complain.
We will see how it goes.
….
…
The time went by, and the time for the attack had come.
On my side, the preparations were finished, but I still don't know if it will work or not. It honestly all depends on the Thanatos.
Anyway, our combined forces had started their march and once again we had found ourselves inside the elven great forest…. And as soon as we gotten there, a massive battle took place. The elves were waiting for us.
We managed to destroy the elven forces, but obviously not without suffering casualties.
The elves were not holding back either, they used their anty dragon weapons as well that annoying anty dragon poison.
Still, thanks to the enslaved angels, we were able to somewhat help in the recovery of some of the soldiers…. But obviously, we couldn't stop our march for long, since the longer we stay at the frontlines, the easier targets we will be for the elves…. And so, the army continues marching towards the capital city, where the final battle will take place.
"Your majesty. The earth dragon clan army is heading straight towards the capital city." – said the elf scout as he knelt in front of the queen.
"So, it is finally the time?" – said the elven queen as she walked on top of the wall.
"…"
"MY SOLDIERS!"
"MY PEOPLE!"
"MY COMRADES!"
"MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS!"
"MY FAMILY!"
"THE TIME HAS COME!"
"THE EARTH DRAGON CLAN HAS FINALLY COME!"
"THEY WISH TO ANNIHILATE US!"
"THEY WISH TO BURN DOWN OUR HOUSES!"
"THEY WISH TO DESTROY EVERYTHING WE HAVE BUILT AND EVEN DESTROY OUR BELOWED WORLD TREE SEPTEMBER!"
"BUT THEY SHALL FAIL!"
"THESE DRAGONS WON'T BREAK OUR WALLS!"
"THEY WON'T BREAK OUR SPIRITS!"
"THE ONLY THING THAT WILL BE BROKEN WILL BE THEIR BODIES!"
"WE SHALL SHOW NO MERCY!"
"THEIR ATTEMPS! THEIR WILL!"
"ALL WILL BE BROKEN BENEATH OUR HILLS!"
"LET'S SHOW THESE OVERGROWN LIZARDS WHO IS THE ONE THEY SHOULD FEAR!"
"WOOOOOOOO!" – the cheers and screams of the countless soldiers could be heard all through the whole city.
"…"
"NOW! WE SHALL- "
"EMERGENCY!" – shouted an elf that was running straight towards the queen, interrupting the queen's speech.
"…"
"What is it?" – said bit annoyed queen.
"T-the monsters! There is an army of frenzied monsters going straight towards the city from behind!" – said the elven messenger.
"There will be soon, getting near the city walls!"
"…"
"[Summon: High Water Spirit: Lake Maiden]." – the elven queen summoned a humanoid water spirit in a dress.
"Did you call for me?" – asked the water spirit while bowing.
"Yes. I need your assistance, Arana." – said the elven queen.
"As you wish." – replied the water spirit before she then created a mirror made out of the water right in front of the queen, as well as a second mirror that was located all across the city, appearing on top of the wall.
"Report." – said the queen, using the mirror as a means of communication.
"M-my queen?!" – said the elven knight who was completely caught off guard by the queen.
"What is going on? What is this about the monsters?" – asked the queen.
"W-well, the scouts just spotted a large army of the monsters heading straight towards the city…. And not only that, but according to the scouts, the monsters looked completely berserk, even the peaceful kind of monsters are also showing the same unknown symptoms as other monsters." - said the elven knight.
"It's like these monsters had completely lost their mind."
"…"
(I've heard about it.) – though the elven queen.
(There were apparently some cases when the organization did use something to cause random wild monsters to go berserk and attack nearby settlements.)
(That is their plan?)
(…)
"How many monsters are there?"
"A lot, if I'm being honest." – said the elven knight.
"But nothing like a large army kind of situation…. Still, we would still need some reinforcement to deal with this problem."
"…I understand. I will rely this order immediately. If something pops up, don't hesitate to send out the alarm flare." – said the queen.
"It will be done, my queen." – said the elven knight before moments later the water mirror on his side had collapsed.
"…"
(A distraction?)
(No…. Something is still not adding up.)
(The area around our capital city is not only extremely safe because of the walls and the World Tree, but also because we regularly deal with any hostile monsters in the area.)
(Those feral monsters must have been gathered up…. But….. No, there is no way they would have enough monsters to launch multiple attacks.)
(We would also have spotted anything like that ages ago as well. That group of monsters must have been just made in secret…. And since they were planning on doing that in secret….. Yea…. It's probably only one attack.)
(….)
(But is it really just that?)
(A distraction?)
"…"
(No…. These bastards are planning something…. But what?)
