Evolving Silver Dragon - Chapter 359

Chapter 359: 357 Falling Deeper_1

Otto, in his Purgatory Demon Dragon form, lay lazily at the top of the Bone Spire’s grand hall, with Lich Catherine serving by his side.

By this time, three days had passed since the Dawn Legion began gradually devouring the Undead within Purgatory City.

In these days, Otto advocated doing nothing.

Not only did he not participate in the command of the Undead, but he also forbade Catherine and other high-ranking Undead from taking action.

At his request, the Undead within Purgatory City were like a group of headless flies, allowing the Dawn Legion’s plan to proceed smoothly.

Although Catherine was very puzzled, she did not dare voice her doubts and could only emphasize the recent casualties of the Undead during her daily reports to Otto.

Though the Dawn Legion only quietly lured away a small number of Undead each time, the cumulative damage had already caused significant losses to the Undead army within Purgatory City.

Even the vast Undead army inherited from the Death Lord could not withstand such waste!

Catherine’s heart ached, but she dared not speak her mind.

Suddenly, Otto asked, “I remember you once mentioned that you were an Elf in your previous life.”

Though a little puzzled as to why Otto would suddenly bring up this topic, Catherine nodded silently.

Continuing, Otto said, “The nominal leader of the army across the way is called Catalan. Don’t you think his name is very similar to yours?”

Upon hearing this, Catherine hesitated for a moment before replying directly, “If I remember correctly, he should actually be my younger brother.

When I left Dawn Forest, I joined an adventurer team and entered the Dark Domain, trying to prove myself.

Obviously, I failed, and the entire adventurer team died at the hands of the Death Lord.

At that time, Catalan was just a child over fifty years old, while our half-brother from the same father was the Elf King.

Considering the long years of the Elves, it is obvious that my brother should still be sitting in that position.”

At this point, Otto recalled some rumors and hearsays.

The previous Elf King was rarely a sentimental type, having over a dozen queens and even more lovers from different races.

This also led to the former Elf King being one of the few Elves who could leave behind many offspring.

However, counting Catherine, there were already two Elves on their side related to the Elf royal family.

If he wasn’t mistaken, Elise’s hair had mostly returned to a bright golden color, which seemed like she was about to completely get rid of Cassiopeia’s corrupting effect.

Perhaps in the future, through Elise, they could take a lot of actions against the Dawn Forest.

Thinking of this, Otto looked at Catherine with interest, “On the opposite side is your own brother. What do you think? Will you not be able to make a move against him?”

Upon hearing this, Catherine immediately replied firmly, “Please rest assured, Your Majesty. Ever since I became Undead, I have completely severed ties with my past.

The Elf Catherine has disappeared from this world, and now there is only the Legendary Witch Demon Catherine.”

“Very well!”

Otto nodded in satisfaction and then said leisurely, “You may have been wondering these past few days why I’ve restrained the Undead’s actions, as if I’m just sending them to their deaths… ”

“I dare not… ”

Catherine bowed respectfully, indicating that she had no such thoughts at all.

But Otto sneered, “Actually, it’s normal for you to think that way; I won’t mind. After all, that’s precisely what I’ve done.

These days, I’ve indeed been sending these Undead to their deaths for nothing!”

Hearing this shocking news, Catherine remained silent, not daring to say a word at this point.

Seeing Catherine’s reaction, Otto smirked, “There’s a saying you may not have heard, but you must know the similar principle.

‘He who cannot bear the child loses the wolf!’ If I don’t let them taste the sweetness, how could they stay here to play with me while risking going hungry?”

Catherine knew that the supply of the Dawn Legion had been destroyed by the Undead army at the beginning of the battle.

But at the same time, she also knew one thing and whispered to Otto, “But if they directly call for supplies from Vide, it wouldn’t take too much time.”

“But if Vide isn’t willing … or, is deceiving them?”

Otto sneered, the outcome of this war had been determined since Catalan decided to stay and fight a war of attrition after their supply line was destroyed.

At this point, outside Purgatory City.

The Dawn Legion had already found a new location and set up a new camp.

Although houses could be built using local materials, it was not easy to find enough food to feed a large group of people in this barren desert.

As their nominal leader Catalan had foreseen, the Dawn Legion’s food supply was completely exhausted.

Now, the anxious Dawn Legion and representatives of various factions were trying to reassure their subordinates.

Except for a few high-ranking individuals, most people had gone hungry for a whole day.

At this time, Catalan was angrily questioning Angelina in his tent.

According to her previous statement, the supply convoy sent directly from Vide should have arrived yesterday.

Thinking of this, Catalan angrily questioned Angelina with a gloomy face, “Queen of Vide, I think I need an explanation!”

Angelina remained calm, as she was not easily frightened.

Having just successfully reclaimed her kingdom from Lait’s hands and resurged Old Vide’s glory, she had seen many big scenes and wasn’t afraid of an elf that looked like a woman.

However, necessary explanations were required since she had indeed broken her word, and the supply convoy had not arrived on time.

In fact, after leaving Vide territory and entering the Dragon Bone Wasteland, the so-called supply convoy stayed put and waited for further instructions from Angelina.

As for the supplies? Angelina had never intended to send any to the Dawn Legion from the beginning.

Since ancient times, most races considered securing food for their soldiers as their top priority during wars.

No one wanted to go hungry while fighting for others.

In Angelina’s view, once they lost their food source, the Dawn Legion was finished.

What she had to do now was give the starving Dawn Legion a thought and hope, allowing them to sink deeper into the quagmire of failure.

So, she tried to make her face and demeanor appear sincere and said to Catalan, “Your Highness, I have contacted the leader of the supply convoy earlier. They encountered some accidents on their way.

However, they have already resolved the issues, and I believe they can quickly escort the supplies here!”
