They are the contributors who helped the Seleucid people "recover their holand," and they are the absolute pillars of this war.
From a god’s viewpoint, without the Empire’s intervention, the Allied Forces would have had to endure years of fighting and resistance to barely possess the strength to contend with the Dragon Worship Cult’s legion.
Moreover, unlike Cassius who is well-versed in history, many Seleucid people believe that if it weren’t for the Ashen Empire extending a helping hand and saving them from dire straits, they would have been completely wiped out in the battle of Green Valley Town.
"Everyone—the war is about to begin!"
Among the formations of the army, the officers possessing Red Dragon Bloodline stood on high ground, waving their gleaming sabers, and shouted energetically: "Rember, we are warriors of His Majesty Cassius! On this continent, no enemy has yet been able to withstand our assault!"
"Glory, wealth, and strength await you on the battlefield; tear apart those damned followers of Tiamat, and you will get everything you desire!"
"For the Empire! For His Majesty Cassius!"
Imperial Soldiers raised their weapons high, with an ocean-like roar that echoed wave after wave across the plateau, impassioned and stirring.
Outside the Imperial Legion, the second most nurous among the Allied Forces are the native soldiers of Seleucis, numbering about 120,000, with many having the occupations of Paladins and warriors.
Most of these native soldiers were displaced, wandering aimlessly under the ravages of the Dragon Disaster, eventually being recruited by Duke Adrian.
Many of them lost their family and friends in that dreadful disaster, bearing a hatred engraved in their bones for the Dragon Worship Church, the evil dragons, and their minions, though so soldiers were left with deep psychological scars, which they still find difficult to overco.
Adrian grasped his sword with both hands, carrying Duke Franz’s heavy great sword, standing at the top of the hill overlooking the soldiers below, his tone heavy and resolute:
"The departed loved ones and comrades are watching us, how can we tolerate those filthy cultists desecrating our holand, ravaging the land that belongs to the Fadlan people?"
"We must defeat the Dragon Worship Church at all costs, letting the light of freedom shine over the land of Seleucis once again! Let Holy Fadlan regain its glory!"
"I once promised Duke Franz to bury his body in Sunset City, and I want to bring him and you all back to our holand!"
Before his words were finished, Adrian raised his long sword, countless rays of light converged at the tip of the sword, forming a dazzling orb of light, displaying the emblem of Seleucis within.
"For Seleucis, for Holy Fadlan!"
"Ho! Ho!" The soldiers also shouted vigorously, their tones excited, with many voices carrying hoarse sobbing.
They have been away from that land for many years, living a nomadic life, chased and hunted by Dragonborn and monsters, and in the tense and perilous life, many soldiers have even beco accustod to such wandering days, forgetting what life in a peaceful era should truly be like.
Now, upon hearing Adrian’s words, they gradually thought of the lost loved ones and friends, and thought of that wonderful holand, their emotions exploded instantly, uncontrollably.
Although the Seleucid soldiers are nurous, in terms of importance and destructiveness on the battlefield, they are not as significant as the legion ford by the tal Dragon Clan.
Under Bahamut’s command, hundreds of tal dragons have gathered here, including commonly seen tal dragons like Gold Dragons, Silver Dragons, and Brass Dragons, and also Iron Dragons and Tungsten Dragons who are antagonistic towards Chromatic Dragons.
On the Fianso Continent, an occasion of so many tal dragons gathered together hasn’t been seen for over a thousand years.
This group of giant dragons with tallic sheen moved their wings under the sunlight, creating gusts of winds and emitting loud roars, the rays reflecting off their scales were so bright that many could not keep their eyes open.
The commander of this legion, Bahamut’s ssenger, the enormous Ancient Gold Dragon Dionysus, flew high into the sky, spreading his broad Dragon Wings, he extended his Dragon Claw, showcasing the Holy Scale from the Platinum Dragon King, its surface emitting a thin and holy glow.
The Ancient Gold Dragon slowly began, his tone calm and composed: "Fellow kin, this is an order from His Majesty Bahamut, we must fully assist the Allied Forces in defeating the Dragon Worship Church.
However, even without this order, we must do the sa; this is a responsibility that every tal dragon is obligated to bear!"
He paused slightly in his speech, raising his head slightly, his tone turning passionate: "Ladies and gentlen, do you wish to see the Mother of Evil Dragons descend upon the world—watching helplessly as She and Her offspring ravage the land, destroying justice and order?"
Do you wish to see flourishing cities burn in dragonfla, magnificent civilizations be laid to ruin, innocent beings wailing under the shadow of evil dragon wings?"
