Chapter 191 The Dragon Legion, the Sensation of the Empire!
In the distant sky, dense black shadows blocked out the sun, as if a thick dark cloud was covering the sky.
The sky in the distance fell into darkness, and only in the gaps between the black shadows could one see the stumbling sunlight falling on the sea level.
Even the blue sea turned into rolling ink. It was the overlapping shadows reflected on the ocean that created an illusion.
Those are giant dragons, countless giant dragons!
When Duke Toulouse-Lautrec saw the countless dragon legions, he felt his scalp tingling, his whole body tensed up, and an indescribable sense of fear overflowed from the bottom of his heart.
This is the instinctive fear that the inexplicable dragon power brings to humans when countless giant dragons overlap.
The terrifying existence at the top of the food chain will spontaneously trigger humans' natural instinct to retreat.
"These dragons, what's going on with these dragons?!"
Duke Toulouse-Lautrec shouted in horror, spitting all over the place.
The people around the Duke had no idea how these giant dragons appeared, and they all shook their heads in confusion.
"Look at the direction these dragons are flying... They are heading towards the interior of the empire. Quick, activate the magic device and notify the imperial capital!"
No matter what the purpose of these dragons is, as the Duke of the empire, he must report the matter as soon as possible.
But the Duke didn't need to report it at all, because those dragons seemed to have discovered the fleet on the sea. They suddenly changed direction, and hundreds of dragons roared towards Duke Lautrec's fleet!
The wind blew violently, the sea surged with waves, and the dragon's roar shook the sky!
“Your Excellency the Duke!!”
When the sailors saw this scene, they were terrified and screamed in fear.
"I saw!"
Duke Toulouse-Lautrec's hands and feet were also trembling. Seeing the group of dragons turning around and flying towards him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Don't attack yet. Let's see what these dragons are going to do!"
If the dragons were just flying over out of curiosity to take a look, then if we attacked first, we would deserve to be killed.
After a pause, the Duke said fiercely: "...but if the dragon attacks us, we will just fight back!"
"Yes!"
The sailors responded loudly and quickly returned to their jobs. This showed how hard and well they trained, and that they were a group of elite navy personnel.
But at this moment, everyone in the fleet was praying in their hearts, hoping that the group of dragons would come over out of curiosity to take a look.
If such a group of dragons really launched an attack, their fleet would have little ability to resist.
This is just like the previous naval battle between the Toulouse-Lautrec fleet and the Hudson fleet. The dragons had absolute air superiority, and their weapons could not hurt these dragons at all!
But the development of things will always lead to the situation that people least want to see.
The first dragon approached Duke Lautrec's fleet. When it saw hundreds of warships on the sea, it let out a joyful dragon roar.
Then, the brass dragon spewed out a stream of scorching dragon breath.
Although the power of the Brass Dragon's Breath is not as strong as that of a Red Dragon of the same ring, it is still extremely powerful.
The dragon's breath crossed the sea surface and swept across a warship. That warship was not a magic warship made of metal, but just an ordinary wooden ship.
Although the wood used to build the warship has been treated to be waterproof and fireproof, what the warship is facing at this time is not ordinary flames, but the dragon's breath!
The power of a red dragon's breath lies mainly in its temperature, which is as hot as lava.
Although the breath of a brass dragon is similar to that of a red dragon, the power of a brass dragon's breath lies in the sharpness of its flames!
The flames spewed out by the brass dragon were like a sharp flaming knife, which cut through the hull of the warship like tofu and cut it in half!
As the ship broke apart, flames began to rise on it. The people on board cursed and screamed, and with no choice, the crew members could only jump into the sea.
But the next moment, these crew members who jumped into the sea regretted it and let out even more shrill screams.
The dragon's breath caused the temperature of the nearby sea area to rise sharply. Those who fell into the sea began to show burn marks on their skin, as if they had jumped into a boiling pot. There was even a smell of burning human flesh in the air.
Seeing this scene, everyone was terrified. Is it better to jump off the boat and be cooked, or to be burned to death in the flames on the boat?
But no matter which choice you make, it will be an absolutely painful way to die!
"That's a six-ring or even seven-ring dragon!"
Duke Toulouse-Lautrec's eyes were bloodshot as he saw this scene from the cockpit of his flagship, shouting in panic.
Even the ordinary warships in his fleet had their outer layers blessed with magic, otherwise how could these ships participate in naval battles.
If it was just an ordinary dragon's breath, it would be impossible for it to tear apart one of his warships in one blow. Only a six-ring or even seven-ring dragon would have such strength!
Are there other high-ring dragons among this group of dragons? Are there more terrifying eight-ring or even nine-ring dragons? !
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Duke Lautrec almost frightened himself to death.
Hundreds of dragon armies began their performance shows.
There are all kinds of these dragons, some of them spew out strong acid, some spew out thunder, some spew out ice and hurricanes, and wreak havoc on the sea surface.
As the king and overlord of the sky, no creature can be the enemy of the dragon in the air.
The warships on the sea became complete sitting ducks, as fragile as toys under the dragon's breath.
Some dragons were even bold enough to lower their altitude and land directly on the ships, using their strong bodies to rampage and smash the warships into pieces.
But soon, these brave dragons suffered a bitter defeat.
After seeing a group of giant dragons attacking him, and he had nowhere to escape in the sea, and the dragons refused to accept prisoners.
This elite navy, built by Duke Lautrec at great expense of money and resources, also demonstrated its bravery.
The sailors, with the idea of taking a dragon with them even if they died, madly used alchemical cannons to bombard the dragon in the sky.
These alchemical cannons are so powerful that even the flesh and blood of a giant dragon would have difficulty resisting them.''
A dragon that flies high enough can use its flexible body and ample space to dodge these alchemical shells.
But those dragons that were brave enough to land directly on the ships felt the power of human magical weapons.
The shells filled with alchemical explosives hit the dragon's body, causing a deafening explosion.
In an instant, several unlucky dragons felt severe pain. The scales on their bodies could not withstand the power of these cannons, and their bodies were directly shattered into pieces by the powerful alchemical explosives.
The dragon's blood splattered everywhere, and clumps of rotten flesh and broken limbs fell into the sea. The dragon's wings were torn apart and it fell onto the warship, unable to fly, and could only become a bloody target.
"hold head high----"
The giant dragon that was hit by the cannon roared in pain.
Seeing the giant dragon's blood exploding and dyeing the sea red, the Duke of Lautrec's soldiers cheered deafeningly.
But the Duke did not feel any joy, because although this sudden attack killed more than a dozen dragons, it was just a drop in the bucket compared to the total number of dragons.
In particular, the dragons were frightened after discovering that their warships were not powerless to resist. They no longer dared to lower their flying altitude and all flew high into the sky.
As the giant dragon flew into the sky, it only attacked with dragon breath and spell-like abilities, and the alchemical cannons on the battleship were suddenly useless.
The sounds of burning and explosions of human warships, and the miserable screams and roars of people once again became the main theme of this sea area.
Duke Toulouse-Lautrec stood in the cockpit with a pale face. He looked at the outside world, and all he saw was the burning fire, and all he heard was the roar of the giant dragon in the sky.
The sea surface was turned into a burning ocean by the dragon's breath, and everywhere you looked were broken ships and shattered decks.
The scorching temperature made the Duke's skin feel like it was pricked by needles even though he was hiding in the magic-protected cabin.
If it weren't for the extremely powerful magic device on his flagship that blocked the dragon flames, he, the Duke, would have become a ruin in the sea of fire like the other ships.
"Your Majesty the Duke!"
The people in the cockpit all looked at Duke Lautrec eagerly with anxious expressions, waiting for his orders.
The Duke suppressed his sorrow and pain and shouted, "Let all the ships that can still sail return immediately, immediately!"
He knew that his fleet was destroyed and the hundreds of years of accumulation of the Toulouse-Lautrec family were destroyed!
But it is not time to despair yet. As long as the fleet's magic warships can be preserved, the Toulouse-Lautrec fleet will not be completely wiped out!
The most difficult and most expensive thing to build is the magic battleship!
The few remaining warships began to flee in all directions like headless flies.
In other words, the fleet had already begun to flee before the Duke gave the order.
However, no matter how fast the warships are, they are not faster than the giant dragon in the sky, and it is simply impossible for them to escape from this sea.
The Duke didn't care. He just looked in the direction of the port and ordered his flagship to go at full speed.
All the magic warships followed him.
But the dragons refused to give in and continued to breathe dragon breath after the magic warships.
Each magic battleship has the defense power of a small city, and it is difficult for a dragon to destroy them in a short period of time.
But watching the energy in the energy tank drop rapidly, the Duke knew that the destruction of his magic battleship was only a matter of time.
"Your Excellency the Duke, look!"
A crew member in the cockpit pointed outside and shouted urgently.
The Duke, who was already dizzy and dazed, looked outside the cabin and saw that several warships had stopped moving forward and instead turned around and began firing cannons at the giant dragon in the sky.
The Duke was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly realized, and said with tears in his eyes: "Keep going, move at full speed, don't waste their kindness!" The Duke knew that it was because his men saw that it was difficult for them to escape, so they were preparing to cover their retreat and fight with those dragons to give the Duke a chance to escape.
At this moment, Duke Lautrec's heart was burning with anger and sorrow. He said fiercely, "It must be that necromancer. He must have used some kind of magic to summon so many dragons!
I don't believe it. I don't believe he can keep controlling these dragons. If I can survive, I will build an invincible fleet. I will tear that damn necromancer to pieces and let him see my wrath!"
At this time, Duke Lautrec thought of the information he had seen before and the phantom of the Dragon God. How could he not guess that all this was related to Deya!
But he believed that the necromancer would have paid a heavy price for using such a spell. He still had a chance. As long as he could survive, he still had a chance!
I will not die like this. I am the Grand Duke of the Empire, the Duke of Toulouse-Lautrec who is going to conquer the continental island!
"Put all the magic energy into the protection and travel systems. It doesn't matter even if the magic devices are scrapped. We have to escape from here quickly!"
Under the Duke's order, the flagship's magic shield was put into full power while it sped across the sea at full speed.
With a few magic warships covering the rear, there were indeed fewer dragons in the sky chasing the flagship.
Those giant dragons were still breathing dragon breath, but facing the magical device of Duke Lautrec's most powerful battleship, they were helpless in the short term.
The good news was that the fleet was not far from the port and was preparing to cross the strait to attack Sussets' Hudson territory.
Therefore, while moving at full speed, it didn't take long for the Duke of Hudson to see the continental shelf through the telescope in his hand.
His face showed ecstasy, but on the sea around him, there were only two warships left following him.
Eleven magic warships, nearly two hundred main battleships, plus many more small ships and supply ships.
This is all the property of Duke Lautrec. It is the strongest navy of the empire, which aims to completely destroy the Susaitani Navy and establish an outpost for advancing to the continental island!
But they were still completely wiped out by the army of hundreds and thousands of dragons, and the result was only the killing of a few dragons!
But no matter what, I survived!
"Your Excellency the Duke, that's not right. That's absolutely not right!"
The captain was also watching with a telescope at this time, and he shouted in fear.
The Duke quickly raised the telescope, and when he saw the scene in the telescope, the magic telescope in his hand fell to the ground with a "click".
Just ahead, his port was also being attacked by dragons, and countless dragons were invading his territory.
The entire Toulouse-Lautrec territory was filled with smoke, and giant dragons were attacking his territory wantonly!
These are not the same group of dragons that attacked the naval fleet before, but another group of dragons!
How is it possible? How on earth did Deya Cavendish do it? Why could he command thousands of giant dragons to attack my territory!
Duke Toulouse-Lautrec was in complete despair.
"It's all over, it's all over, everything is over with the Toulouse-Lautrecs!"
The Duke knelt on the ground and cried loudly.
"Your Excellency the Duke, we have to go ashore first!"
The captain didn't care whether he was overstepping his authority or not. He grabbed the Duke's shoulders tightly, shook him, and shouted loudly.
"Yes, yes, go ashore, go ashore first!"
The Duke also came to his senses. He would surely die at sea, but if he reached the shore, he might be able to survive.
Even if his family and territory are gone, he must survive first, so that he can go to His Majesty and use the power of the empire to regain the territory!
at this time--
A slight cold breeze blew.
Everyone lost their thoughts at that moment. Their souls and consciousness were frozen, as if even time had come to a standstill.
Duke Toulouse-Lautrec's teeth were chattering. He turned his stiff head in amazement and looked around.
In just a moment, the sea surface he saw turned into solid ice, and the entire ocean was frozen into frost, as if he had entered the polar continent!
"This kind of power... this kind of power is an eight-ring... no, this is a nine-ring strongman, could it be a nine-ring dragon?!"
In the Duke's last sight, he saw a graceful dragon flying towards him slowly but actually quickly.
It was a beautiful silver dragon with four huge wings. Its body was shining with silver light, and it looked like gems under the sun.
When this giant dragon appeared, heaven and earth were silent. Even the arrogant dragons showed respect in front of her.
That was a real nine-ring silver dragon!
"Why? Why can Deya Cavendish command a nine-ring dragon? Is this really his ability? I don't believe it, I don't believe it..."
This was the last consciousness of Duke Toulouse-Lautrec. When he saw Ignis's beautiful and great dragon body, his life had already come to an end.
"Click————"
The ice shattered, and the warship with protective magic of a small city level, the magic warship that had withstood the baptism of the dragon's breath and remained indestructible, was shattered like a fragile ice sculpture!
Ignis had not taken any action before, but instead let other dragons below the seventh ring attack the fleet.
The main reason is that she is too lazy to do it. Dragons will become more and more unwilling to move as they age.
Although Ignis is a young dragon among the Nine-Ring Dragons, she is actually an elder among the dragon group.
Of course, being lazy is not an excuse. Her excuse is to let the younger dragons gain some experience while she just needs to keep the lead.
But when she saw the dragons in Lautrec's territory, she knew that those dragons should be Morvantos's subordinates.
Molvantos the dragon did not arrive, but this also made Ignis alert.
Because the dragon leading the group of giant dragons was also a nine-ring dragon!
In addition, several warships were not destroyed but escaped, which was not in line with the agreement.
Ignis then took action personally and destroyed the Duke's last magic battleship.
In the Dukedom of Lautrec, the city where the Duke once lived has now turned into a huge swamp.
Above this swamp, a black dragon covered with scars is floating in the air. Dozens of kilometers away, its dragon eyes are looking at the distant sea.
At the feet of the black dragon was the mansion of Duke Lautrec. Because the mansion was protected by powerful magic, the black dragon took action personally and crushed the vast mansion in one fell swoop, and turned the entire city into a swamp.
The face of the earth has been completely changed. This is the strength of a nine-ring strongman, especially a nine-ring dragon, which already possesses the terrifying ability to change the terrain!
The Duke of Lautrec's relatives and the first princess of Susetsani had already turned into mud in the swamp with a casual wave of the Nine-ring Black Dragon.
A nine-ring silver dragon and a nine-ring black dragon faced each other from a distance. Their wills collided with each other dozens of kilometers apart, and the invisible force caused a violent storm.
It was the collision of the frozen ocean and the muddy land, like the battle between the continent and the ocean.
This is the power of a Nine-ringed Warrior that is enough to change the world. It is a power that only a few Nine-ringed Warriors, even if all races in the world are combined, can possess.
"Sir, are we going to tear all those cowards to pieces?"
A green dragon, wagging its tail like a puppy, came to the black dragon and said flatteringly.
The black dragon, whose body was covered with scars, showed that he had experienced countless fierce battles in his life. He said in a low voice: “Lord Morvantos strictly forbids us to fight those cowards now.
The adults' plan is about to be completed. Now is the critical moment. Don't act rashly."
A strong killing intent flashed in the black dragon's eyes: "...be patient, until the adults complete their plan, we will eliminate these cowardly and incompetent people and deprive them of the title of dragon.
The ancient spirit cannot descend in the divine world. If He does not want to be exiled, He can only let it go and accept our ideals! "
The green dragon quickly lowered its head in humility. After a moment's hesitation, it said, "We have fulfilled our oath, but what about the treasure? I don't think the mother dragon will give us the treasure that belongs to us."
No matter whether it is a gold dragon, a silver dragon, a red dragon or a black dragon, their greed for treasures is engraved in their bones, and they cannot move when they see the glittering golden treasures.
The black dragon grinned and said, "We have found a lot of treasures in this damn dukedom. Those treasures are enough to pay the commission this time."
The green dragon felt better when he thought of the wealth found by the dragons in the duke's territory. He whispered, "My lord, a human duke is so rich.
If we could capture the empire, what a wealth it would be!"
The huge black dragon laughed and said, “Yes, by then, every dragon that participated in the war will gain wealth that satisfies it.
Lord Morvantos said that no matter whether they are humans, orcs, elves, or those dwarves, they will all become slaves of the dragons and create wealth for us. The day when the dragons rule the world is not far away! "
The black dragon spread its wings and flew high, roaring to stop the many evil dragons that were ready to make a move, demanding that they destroy the territory, rob the wealth and leave immediately.
In the distance, Ignis on the sea saw that the evil dragon army of hundreds of people did not attack her, but left. She also withdrew her vigilant gaze.
She turned around and looked at the many younger brothers behind her. She flapped her four wings lightly and changed direction to fly to the other side of the strait.
The spellcaster who had cast the spell was there, and she was going to get the reward for the deed.
Well, I am a nine-ring dragon, should I get more in the reward?
Ignis thought about this question while flying.
……
The southern fleet of the Narbo Empire was completely destroyed, and the Duchy of Lautrec was captured by the Dragon Legion and turned into ruins. This shocking news was transmitted back to the imperial capital at an extremely fast speed and spread to the entire empire.
This is the greatest loss the empire has ever suffered in a thousand years, and it is the greatest provocation the empire has ever suffered!
