Chapter 364: Chapter 140: Behemoth (Part 3)
"Beastn, never slaves!" These elite and strong beastn echoed in unison, galloping with their chieftain towards unstoppable glory, ready to break through any obstruction, even if it were their kin.
Thousands of cavalry charged forth in mighty tides.
"Follow , stay close to
until my flesh and blood are no more." Centaur Chiron took a deep breath, halting his panting, as the spare long saber in his hand also showed wear and tear.
"Until flesh and blood are no more!"
Behind him, the forr leader of the centaurs, Kali, and her mate, Centaur Zhuge, the two warriors second only to Chiron, also paused for breath and joined in the call.
Their sturdy armor was dented, their undergarnts soaked with dark red blood, both enemy and their own.
All the surviving warriors resoundingly cheered and regrouped.
Chiron’s steel-like teeth clenched, and his powerful hooves resud running. Behind him were the valiant Dragon’s Beloved.
The torrent of steel resud, like an avalanche facing a tsunami, unstoppable!
...
The booming artillery fire imdiately breached the walls of the Golden City, revealing large gaps. Fortunately, Blue Dragon Akzhi had anticipated this outco, and all the soldiers had withdrawn into the Luocheng while two tal Dragons safely returned.
Young Red Dragon Kedelos, bearing two giant crossbows on its back, finally crawled within the city walls at the last mont.
Luckily, Luocheng was initially constructed to guard against beastman artillery fire, sacrificing nearly half the city, and built alongside the central streets of the Golden City.
To attack Luocheng, the beastman artillery would need to relocate, moving near the outer walls of the Golden City to target Luocheng’s defenses, giving Dragon Group’s army ti to regroup and breathe.
However, recently, the beastman warriors seldom joined the assaults, and their artillery positions remained unmoved, with Shahua Fishn conducting most of the attacks on the city.
Moreover, the Shahua Fishn seed more intent on plundering the city than attacking, as countless fishn flooded through the breached walls.
Like bandits, they raided buildings, seizing gold, silver, gems, or immovable exquisite statues and artworks left behind.
Only a few fishn attempted to assault Luocheng. Failing that, they turned to scavengers, dismantling and hauling away precisely carved decorative pillars, much to the Dragon Group soldiers’ disdain.
Daily skirmishes accompanied life within the city, and with the absence of artillery threats, Dragon Group warriors scoured the city for seemingly endless Shahua Fishn.
Large forces rotated for rest and replenishnt of lost arms and materials, with logistics carried out by those volunteering for conscription as the Dragon Group’s Beloved were reorganized into military units.
Faen and other soldiers who volunteered for the reserve corps were dispatched to transport ammunition, arrows, and provisions to the Golden City.
During low-intensity warfare, reserve soldiers were allowed to participate in defense, practicing with bows, firearms, and swords, rapidly gaining experience.
Faen’s exceptional martial prowess and outstanding qualities and strength earned him the position of Decurion in the reserve corps, leading nine soldiers to patrol and fortify the city walls.
This was the highest rank a new soldier could attain; a Centurion required seasoned veterans who had earned dals of valor through combat.
"Boss, with your incredible martial skills and imnse strength, why choose to be a regular soldier? With your abilities, you could do much more,"
A young soldier, just losing his youthful down, now hardened, joked with his commander, gradually easing from initial tension with daily drills.
Looking upon the breached walls, blood-stained streets, and dilapidated buildings, Faen lanted the past splendor of the Golden City.
Hearing his subordinate’s words, a smile curled beneath Faen’s thick beard, "Our holand is threatened, and soone must stand up. Though my power is limited, I am still willing to contribute to my holand."
"Moreover, if the Dragon’s Beloved can sacrifice their lives to protect the Land of Golden and its people, aren’t we also part of the Golden People? I can’t comfortably enjoy their shelter, indulging in the safety forged by their bloodshed."
"Hehe," the young soldier scratched his head, shyly admitting, "I don’t think as much as you, Captain. I just want to drive these beastn away quickly so I can go ho and farm. My family’s newly opened five acres mustn’t be wrecked by these brutes."
Faen patted the young soldier’s shoulder, chuckling softly, "We’re all the sa!"
Several dragons, carrying the nearly eternally slumbering Young Red Dragon Kedelos, landed before the Dragon’s Treasure Vault. Several White Dragons had been unchained, yet their place of residence remained here.
Without a summons from Blue Dragon Akzhi, these White Dragons could only remain here, watching over the vault for the Dragon Group.
