Chapter 270: 268 Farrand City Broken_1
Translator: 549690339
Due to the complete absorption of the Skyreach Mountains, the number of familiars available to Otto’s Soaring Dragon Legion had increased significantly.
Thus, the time it took to gather the familiars was not long, and soon Krom had gathered all the familiars, traveling through the underground tunnel toward Lait.
Then they crossed Dilant through Lait to reach Farrand.
Originally, taking the Dragon Bone Wasteland route would have been the quickest.
However, there were a lot of Undead lurking there, so it was not easy to pass through safely.
As for Otto, he had flown to the Royal City of Farrand beforehand.
As Saru had said, the city was tightly surrounded by the armies of Felton and Angelina.
The soldiers defending the walls of the Royal City of Farrand were listless and unprepared, unlike those below who were full of morale and eager to attack.
They appeared weak and powerless, but they would take Frenzy Pills and become mad dogs once the battle erupted.
As for the dragons Otto was most concerned about, he hadn’t found them while flying overhead yet.
However, the soldiers and armies of Feliton below had caught Otto’s attention.
Currently, the west and north side of the royal city of Farrand were guarded by Feliton soldiers, while the south and east sides were handed over to Angelina.
Comparing the two sides, Otto could easily see that the weapons and equipment of the Feliton soldiers were clearly more sophisticated.
Even the spirits of the soldiers were better than those of Angelina’s side, and it seemed they had eaten well.
Some of the soldiers and knights wearing armor that looked familiar to Otto, soon reminded him that he had seen this style of armor in Welin’s Treasure Vault.
Now it had been reforged and distributed to their own familiars by the Black Iron Dwarves. If Otto remembered correctly, this armor should be produced by Felkorde, the Western Empire.
It seemed that Feliton’s power was heavily reliant on the influence of the Western Empire.
The failure of the new king of Lait was inevitable, and with a little bit of knowledge from before, it was clear that this war was just a game between the two great empires of the East and the West.
The main reason why the new king of Lait failed so quickly was that Angelina, who had been assisted by Otto, forcibly joined the battle.
Feliton, although a subsidiary country of the Western Empire, was an undisputedly large country in terms of land area.
At least on par with the total territory of both Farrand and Old Vide. Once the new king of Lait was completely defeated, Feliton would inevitably clash with Angelina in the division of Farrand.
With this in mind, Otto greeted Angelina through the communication scale.
Upon hearing Otto’s voice, Angelina was initially surprised, but she soon complied with his request.
First, at Angelina’s request, a group of ragged, gaunt-looking people emerged from the formations.
Among them were men and women, young and old, whose complexions seemed worse than that of a slave who ate only one meal a day.
These seemingly helpless, pitiful people had all experienced the erosion of the Frenzy Pills.
There was no hope for them since none of them could survive long after taking the pills.
Instead of letting them die without purpose in the rear, Angelina chose to let them charge the walls of the Royal City of Farrand at the last moment of their lives.
That is, using them as cannon fodder.
Although it sounded very miserable, at least Angelina gave them a chance for revenge.
The one who turned them into this state was undoubtedly the new king of Lait.
As Angelina’s side launched an attack, Feliton’s side also started, clearly not wanting to let Angelina get the credit for being the first to break into the city.
The collapsing Royal City of Farrand can’t hold on much longer against the frenzied berserker army.
Moreover, Feliton’s rear had set up catapults and siege towers already.
While Angelina’s side was still entangled outside the city, Feliton’s fully armed soldiers had already climbed onto the city walls.
Although they paid a certain price, the northwest city walls were soon under their control.
As the soldiers who descended from the city walls opened the two large gates, the massive Feliton Army rushed into the devastated Royal City of Farrand.
It was a scene of ruins and destruction.
All the living beings, regardless of gender or age, were forcibly taken away by the new king of Lait and put into the berserker army. Now, not even a beggar could be seen in the royal city.
Occasionally, one could see one or two emaciated, starving street dogs passing by.
The highest leader of Feliton was a middle-aged man with blond hair, wearing a silver armor and a righteous face.
His name was Willen, the Chief Knight of the King of Felton, and also the Duke of the Eastern Territory. Both his strength and power were formidable.
Looking at the hellish scene within the Royal City of Farrand, even the high-ranking Willen couldn’t help but be infuriated.
Immediately, he gave the order, leading the fully armed Feliton Knights to charge towards the Royal Palace of Farrand.
Without any surprises, the new king of Lait would be hiding there.
At that time, Angelina had only just leisurely breached the city walls on her side.
She made use of Burrowing Worms to break through the walls, so she didn’t consume too much manpower.
However, after the city was breached, she didn’t rush into the city as urgently as the Feliton Army, but instead went around to where Feliton had been responsible for the northwest.
After Angelina led the army away, Krom led the familiars of the Soaring Dragon Legion to the vicinity of the Royal City of Farrand, and upon Otto’s request, took over the position previously held by Angelina.
Now, the Royal City of Farrand was surrounded again, with both the new king of Lait and the Feliton Army trapped inside.
Seeing this, a cruel smile appeared on Otto’s face as he flew in the air.
Since they were bound to confront Feliton later, why not take advantage of this opportunity to wipe them out once and for all.
As the Feliton soldiers left behind in the northwest were dealt with by Angelina, Otto flapped his dragon wings and flew towards the Royal Palace of Farrand.
He was flying high, making it impossible for ordinary people to detect him without the assistance of distant sight magic.
By the time he arrived at the Royal Palace of Farrand, the palace gate had already been breached by Feliton’s forces.
Currently, the berserker army of the new king of Lait was engaged in street battles with Feliton’s soldiers inside the palace, where the new king had also deployed a number of sane soldiers.
With their cooperation, the progress of Feliton’s forces was slow.
However, even at such a critical moment, Otto, who was flying in the air, still hadn’t discovered the trace of those giant dragons.
If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the palace was completely occupied.
Just as Otto was becoming doubtful, he noticed some movement at the rear entrance of the palace.
