Evolving Silver Dragon - Chapter 479

Chapter 479: 467 Stalemate in battle

Facing this suddenly emerging formidable type of soldier, the Soaring Dragon Legion at the front line were initially caught off guard, and their entire formation fell into chaos.

Fortunately, Gaz had plenty of experience and quickly retracted the defense line, preventing further losses.

Gaz had faced the Berserker Army under Lait’s new king before, so he naturally noticed the similarities between the Dragonization Soldiers and the Berserker Army in no time.

At the same time, he also discovered that these Dragonization Soldiers were much stronger than Lait’s Berserker Army, both in terms of individual strength and mental state.

Although these Dragonization Soldiers had wooden expressions and showed no pleasure or sadness when killing the enemy or getting injured, they were like man-made ruthless killing machines.

At this moment, Gaz was sitting solemnly on his beloved Warg, having just personally crossed swords with a Dragonization Soldier.

Although he eventually decapitated the enemy with a single stroke, the power displayed by the opposition still left him in awe.

Even Gaz found the opponent somewhat challenging, let alone Ogres or Minotaurs or other relatively weaker monster races.

After some consideration, Gaz made what he believed to be the best decision.

Following Gaz’s indication, the Goblin Wolf Cavalry next to him pulled out a delicately-made horn from their waist.

As the high-pitched horn sounded on the battlefield, Chimeras and Wyverns took the stage.

In addition to these two common aerial overlord species, various flying monsters such as Giant Eagles, Griffins, Hippogryphs, and Hippogriffs also appeared in the air.

The most prominent among them were the Giant Roc with a size second only to the Dragons. Although they had been carefully nurtured by Moray and Sofia, the number of these terrifying aerial creatures had not significantly increased.

Now, these extremely rare aerial behemoths led the Chimeras, Wyverns, and other airborne troops in launching a fierce attack on the Eastern Empire’s Dragonization Soldiers from the air.

One by one, metal balls fell from the sky and smashed into the densest area of the Dragonization Soldiers.

Explosions followed at the impact points, and one Dragonization Soldier after another was blasted off by the shockwaves.

At the same time, some members of the Soaring Dragon Legion who were closer to the Dragonization Soldiers were also blasted off, even killed on the spot.

Gaz didn’t mind this situation, and neither did the other monsters, as this was a necessary sacrifice.

However, what annoyed Gaz was that in addition to these sacrifices, the actual damage to the Dragonization Soldiers was minimal.

Unless they were right in the center of a Black Iron Bomb explosion, it was difficult for the shockwave to kill the Dragonization Soldiers directly.

These Dragonization Soldiers were upgraded versions of the Berserker Army, and apart from their strength, their dragon scales were almost indistinguishable from the real thing.

This not only made them look more stylish but also gave them extraordinary defense.

This led to the following situation: amidst the continuous explosions, Dragonization Soldiers missing arms or legs were not uncommon, but only a few of them were critically or severely injured.

For a typical army, this situation might be fatal. After all, some bad people are always researching ways to increase the ratio of enemy casualties.

However, Dragonization Soldiers were improvements based on the Berserker Army, and their minds were rigid. In their heads, orders were absolute.

It didn’t matter if they were missing an arm or a leg, as long as they were still breathing, they would continue to fulfill their duties to the best of their ability.

And their current task was to win this war.

“Roar!”

After a round of bombing, the Dragon Slumber Army became even more fierce and ferocious. They didn’t care about their injuries.

With bloodshot eyes, they charged at their respective enemies like mad bulls.

At the same time, a significant number of Dragonization Soldiers shifted their targets to the flying monsters in the air.

Some of them raised their heads and sent colorful breath weapons into the sky. Others directly flapped their dragon wings and soared into the air to grapple with the flying monsters.

At present, Giant Rocs still had the advantage when facing the Dragonization Soldiers, while Chimeras and Wyverns could barely maintain a stalemate.

As for flying monsters like Griffins and Hippogryphs, they were clearly no match for them.

Seeing this situation, Gaz had the Giant Rocs collaborate with the Chimeras and Wyverns to engage with the Dragonization Soldiers in the air.

As for the slightly weaker flying monsters such as Griffins, they quickly flew back to supply more Black Iron Bombs.

Rather than their combat prowess, having them launch another round of bombing would be the best choice.

For now, the aerial battlefield remained stable, and with Angelina and the others joining the ground battle, the situation has become more manageable.

With that, night fell, and the battle temporarily came to an end as both sides retreated to their respective positions.

In this world, wars were relatively standardized, usually following a traditional pattern of agreeing on a battlefield for a fierce duel.

However, unfortunately, this situation generally only applied to honor-driven races. Gaz and other monsters naturally wouldn’t care about such things, which couldn’t be eaten.

That very night, Gaz personally led a large group of men in a surprise raid on the Eastern Empire’s position.

Vide people were also present. Although Angelina initially disagreed with this operation, Gaz apparently managed to convince her in the end.

So, this otherwise calm night once again became tumultuous and chaotic.

Under Gaz’s arrangements, the Eastern Empire’s camp quickly turned into a sea of flames.

Amid the blaze, the enraged Imperial People clashed once more with the Soaring Dragon Legion.

Of course, the Dragonization Soldiers were deployed right away. Without their help, the Eastern Empire might have collapsed the moment the surprise attack began.

At this moment, the situation below had become chaotic, and Otto quietly landed behind the Eastern Empire’s camp.

His perception told him that there had always been a powerful presence hiding here.

Just in terms of threat level, perhaps only Dudley could be compared to it.

It goes without saying that only the supreme commander of the Eastern Empire’s army, or his guards, could have such power.

During the previous battle, Otto had been an observer.

To be honest, the progress so far was slow, and Gaz and the others might eventually win if they continued like this.

However, it would take an incredibly long time. If Otto could help eliminate some trouble and reduce this duration, he would be more than happy to do so.
