Chapter 49: 048 Face Me_1

Translator: 549690339

Before the appearance of two adult dragons, the monster legions of both sides had already begun small-scale skirmishes.

The first ones to be sent out were relatively weak monsters that would not have a significant impact on the outcome of the war.

These were cannon fodder, most of them being goblins or kobolds.

Their main purpose was to serve as food; even if they didn’t die on the battlefield, they would be devoured by other monsters around them.

Monster legions have never been concerned with the issue of supply since they themselves are the supply, and the sacrifices of goblins and kobolds clearly illustrate this point.

With Otto’s tacit consent, after a battle ended, ogres would lead gnolls to the center of the battlefield to compete with other monsters for corpses.

Even without doing so, the powerful monsters of the Thorn Legion could still obtain ample food. Ogres’ main opponents were mostly lizardmen or orcs of similar rank.

Of course, these pitiful creatures did not dare to provoke dozens of ogres.

Although the ogres carried a certain amount of food, who knows how long this war would last, and it was only natural to try to reduce expenses as much as possible.

However, this concern ended quickly.

The next day, the scale of the war became larger and larger.

Not only goblins and kobolds but also gnolls, lizardmen, and orcs from the Thorn Legion were gradually thrown into the battlefield.

More and more monsters were killed on both sides, fewer and fewer weak monsters remained in the monster legions, and more food became available.

As the number of mouths to feed decreased, the pressure of food naturally disappeared.

By the third day, Otto could see serpentmen and minotaurs on the battlefield,

as well as inexplicable monsters-a group of living plants that resembled

mushrooms.

What Otto paid the most attention to were the serpentmen, who, along with the trolls, were the core force of the Thorn Legion.

There were many types of serpent monsters in this world, and the hateful serpentmen who were loyal to Cassiopeia were among the stronger ones.

This type of monster had a strong humanoid upper body and a giant serpent lower body. After reaching adulthood, they were no less powerful than trolls, even stronger in some cases.

Although they didn’t have the terrifying self-healing ability of trolls, their population was much larger, and they understood group warfare, with a small number of spellcasters occasionally found among them.

The highly regenerative but scarce troll clan was like a sharp dagger that Cassiopeia would only use when absolutely necessary.

It was the serpentmen who were Cassiopeia’s most core and trump card. Their unique body structure allowed them to easily adapt to most battlefields.

Such powerful and practical monster families made Otto envious.

Under the guidance of the serpentmen, the monster army of the Thorn Legion had begun to advance gradually toward the Sulfur Mountains.

During these three days, Otto carefully observed the monster army of the Thorn Legion and pondered what the outcome would be if he were to fight them himself.

The result was certain—he would be torn to pieces by Cassiopeia and her legion.

After these days of development, the Soaring Dragon Legion loyal to Otto, even including the kobolds that served as food and the almost powerless goblins, was less than a thousand strong.

In contrast, the number of monsters that had died in Cassiopeia’s Thorn Legion in just these three days had already exceeded that.

If Cassiopeia wanted, she could flatten Otto’s Soaring Dragon Legion with just her serpentmen.

Even the large and strong ogres could not single-handedly defeat the serpentmen, let alone the significant difference in numbers.otto himself might not be a match for an adult Green Dragon, and more importantly, the opponent wouldn’t fight with Otto head-on.

Knowing this well, Otto looked towards the direction of the Sulfur Mountains.

It was precisely because of the huge gap in strength between the two sides that the help of the great Wings of Flame, Sitte Bragg, was needed.

As if thinking of the devil, perhaps the difficulties in the battlefield had enraged Sitte Bragg, the Red Dragon finally appeared on the battlefield with Wyverns and Manticores.

Thanks to Otto’s enthusiastic help, only a few Wyverns that had originally besieged the Giant Troll Kamia were left.

As for the Manticores, these fellows should have been mostly killed, but looking at the dense numbers in the air, it didn’t seem to be the case.

At the same time, a question appeared in Otto’s mind.

Were there so many Manticores in Nolan Forest and the Sulfur Mountains?

Before Otto could think more, the provocation of Red Dragon Sitte Bragg spread throughout the entire battlefield.

“Cunning and timid Green Dragon, can you only hide behind your minions? Come out and face me directly, and I will use my strength to show you who the true master of the Nolan Forest and the Sulfur Mountains is!”

The Red Dragon spewed scorching flames, turning the middle and rear of the Thorn Legion into a sea of fire.

Even Serpentmen would find it difficult to survive in the Flame Breath of an adult Red Dragon.

Of course, Sitte Bragg dared only to show off in the air.

If he really dared to land, countless monsters would teach him the meaning of human sea tactics through their actions.

Looking at the seemingly awe-inspiring Red Dragon, Otto shook his head. If it were him, at this time, he would arrange a large number of long-range troops to greet him first.

Moreover, he seemed to have forgotten that although Cassiopeia was not his opponent, if Otto was included, it would be a different story.

At the same time, he saw clearly that Sitte Bragg’s body was full of scabby scars. The arrows and Throwing Spears that were usually ineffective against him might be able to play a role now.

First, weaken his strength and reduce the number of Manticores, then lead one’s own Flying Monsters to block their retreat, followed by coordinating with the long-range attacks of the ground monsters, which should be able to bring great trouble to the Red Dragon.

But what Otto didn’t expect was that, following a deafening roar, Cassiopeia, in her original form, rose to the sky with Giant Eagles and Perytons, along with a few pitiful Chimeras.

Elise looked worriedly at her master. She had already prepared to command the ground monsters for a long-range attack.

But who would have thought that just a second ago, Cassiopeia was mocking the Red Dragon’s stupidity with her, and then immediately, as if possessed, she rushed up with the Giant Eagles and Perytons.

She didn’t even let Elise go and inform the Silver Dragon with ulterior motives.

Some words Elise never told Cassiopeia. The Giant Eagles could be ignored, but the capture and taming of the Perytons seemed overly smooth.

Perytons are flying monsters with the head of a male deer and the body of an eagle.

Although their size is not as large as the Giant Eagles, they are fierce fighters and even more powerful, usually residing on the cliffs at the edge of the Sulfur Mountains.

They can understand Elvish and Common languages. When Elise slightly threatened them, the group of Perytons obediently followed her back to the Thorn Nest.

At that time, she only had three Chimeras and by all means, she shouldn’t have been an opponent for a large group of Perytons.

Her original plan was to intimidate them first, and then find opportunities to capture them one by one.

This unusual smoothness inexplicably made Elise feel uneasy, as if everything had been arranged by someone..
