Evolving Silver Dragon - Chapter 446
Chapter 446: 464 The Weather Has Changed_1
The long night finally faded, and the soldiers guarding the walls of Tamora barely slept.
They stared down with bloodshot eyes at the monsters below who were just waking up and throwing tantrums.
Unlike ordinary monsters, the Soaring Dragon Legion always brought enough food with them on their campaigns, so occurrences such as devouring their comrades rarely happened.
However, as the monsters had irritable tempers, especially upon waking up, this situation was even more extreme.
Instances such as fighting over food distribution were not uncommon.
The Lizardmen in the Soaring Dragon Legion also served as enforcers of order, and when facing such situations, they would generally turn a blind eye as long as it was not too severe.
This time, the highest commander of the Soaring Dragon Legion was still the Dragonborn Goblin Gaz.
At this moment, this incredibly strong goblin sat firmly on top of a Warg.
Once most of the monsters had eaten enough, the battle would soon begin.
As the hordes of monsters gradually and awkwardly lined up in formation, Gaz slowly rode the Dire wolf to the forefront of the line.
He looked afar at the walls of Tamora, and was surprised to find that, besides a group of exhausted-looking soldiers, there were no significant figures present.
This unexpected development puzzled Gaz.
During such a critical moment, could Felton’s officials and nobles still be hiding inside the fortress?
Previously, Gaz had several encounters with Kari and knew that Kari was not the type to misjudge situations.
Since Kari was not commanding his troops from the wall at this moment, he had likely been consumed by more pressing matters.
At this time, the soldiers guarding the walls of Tamora also noticed that something was not right.
Currently, Tamora’s top leader, Feliton’s Chief Knight Kari, had disappeared overnight!
In addition to Kari, the Feliton Prince and a group of high-ranking officers and elite knights loyal to Kari had all gone missing as well.
Originally, whether in terms of quantity or quality, the defenders on top of Tamora’s walls were at a significant disadvantage when facing the combined forces of the Soaring Dragon and Nord Legions.
Now, with the absence of these key figures, the morale of Tamora’s defenders had plummeted dramatically.
After observing this, Gaz shook his head in boredom.
It seemed the outcome of the battle had already been determined.
Although everything was proceeding smoothly, it appeared that Gaz’s preparations had been made in vain.
As Gaz was lost in his thoughts, a commotion erupted on the walls of Tamora, and many panicked soldiers stared towards the heart of the fortress.
Soon after, desperate cries rang out from countless guards.
Seeing this, Gaz nodded and said softly, “It seems we have succeeded.”
He then raised his right hand, and upon receiving his order, hordes of monsters began to advance towards the fortress walls.
It wasn’t long before deafening explosions compounded with screams emanated from the gates of Tamora.
Simultaneously, the heavily fortified gate, protected by special magic, was shattered into pieces.
As dust, debris, monsters, and human limbs filled the air, a gaping hole appeared below Tamora’s walls.
Faced with this situation, Gaz didn’t need to say much before the grotesque monsters rushed towards the breach.
The defenders on the walls threw rolling logs, boulders, and sporadic rain of arrows symbolically, but it was clear these efforts were ineffective.
However, before they could feel more despair, numerous Chimeras and Wyverns had flown over the walls.
It wasn’t long before the last stronghold of Felton had fallen into the past.
After all the living beings inside had been cleared out, Gaz entered the fortress leisurely.
As he had previously suspected, no matter how thoroughly the monsters searched the entire fortress, they could not find any trace of Kari and his party.
Along with their disappearance, they also took a considerable amount of food and valuables.
It seemed that just last night, the chief knight of Felton had fled with his master and loyal followers.
However, Gaz didn’t care too much about this. Soon, he stood on top of the wall at the other end of the fortress.
He gazed towards the west and was ready to lead the Soaring Dragon Legion onward.
The great Silver Dragon Lord would not be satisfied with just a small Felton.
Soon, the Western Empire and the entire continent would become possessions of the great Silver Dragon Lord.

Dawn Forest.
Ever since the failure of the expedition by the Dawn Legion, this place had been peaceful for a long time.
However, today would be an unforgettable day for all elves and creatures in Dawn Forest.
The Elf King, who had lived for countless years and witnessed the rise and fall of numerous civilizations, met his end today.
Originally, his throne would be inherited by the Grand Elder, but due to the return of his daughter Elise, the right of succession naturally fell to her.
Although this made the Grand Elder very unwilling, he could do nothing about the customs and the Elf King’s last wishes.
Today was the day of the old Elf King’s death and Elise’s coronation as queen.
However, amidst all the festivities, the Grand Elder was hiding among the council elders, drinking sullenly alone.
Just as he was about to slip into unconsciousness, a very familiar guest arrived at the empty council chamber.
“Ah, it’s Catherine…”
Quickly, the Grand Elder recognized the visitor as the missing sister of the old Elf King.
It was quite a coincidence that on the same day, both the old Elf King’s sister and daughter returned to Dawn Forest.
This caused all his expectations to turn into nothingness.
Seeing the approaching Catherine, the Grand Elder laughed and said, “Ah, what brings you to this cold and deserted place on such an important day?
Or are you just as dissatisfied with her as I am?”
Saying this, the Grand Elder appeared as if he had thought of something, and then looked at Catherine expectantly, saying, “Why don’t we work together? A little girl like Elise has no right to sit on that throne, right?”
After these words, the Grand Elder eagerly awaited Catherine’s response.
However, all he received in the end was a sharp dagger piercing his heart.
