I, The Dragon Overlord

Chapter 384

Chapter 384: Father God Is Always Watching Over Me

“Kill!!”

“KILL!!!”

“……”

The tragic sound of slaughter echoed through the city of Selar. The clash of soldiers and horses, the bloody blades piercing into bodies, the black smoke burning into the sky, and the rhythmic shaking of drums, all of this framed an extremely tragic scene.

At this time, gods with the divine authorities of war, killing, pain, and so on, must have felt cheerful at how they are becoming more powerful.

The sturdy beastmen in armor raised sandbags and rushed to the moat under the protection of human shieldbearers in front of them. They filled the moats with sandbags while the druids and mages with some more power also helped by summoning earth elementals, thus piling the moat with mud.

The soldiers on the walls were firing wildly with their bows. Logs and stones cascaded down the walls, bowling over the unfortunate among Dragon City’s troops.

Sisna led the elven rangers up the siege towers and aimed at Selar’s archers. The mages of the Church of the Goddess of Magic were also prepared to bombard the enemy forces, but with Sisna protecting the elven rangers, most of the magic was intercepted.

Compared to human archers, elven rangers were better in terms of skill. Not only could they cover a further range, they were also more precise.

In just a short amount of time, the moat was filled thanks to the bravery of the beastmen and humans. One by one, siege ladders were brought out. There were even soldiers who set up battering rams to break down the gates below the city. Under the impact of the dragon head of the battering ram, the gates of Selar were rattled.

The soldiers of Selar gathered at the opposite side of the gate and supported its frames, trying to prevent it from breaking. Even if their hands were soaked in blood, they still gritted their teeth and shouted angrily.

There was never any injustice in war. On both sides existed heroes

“Big bear, bear two, lead the elite soldiers of the beastmen and charge up with me!”

Lysfer revealed a bloodthirsty smile. For beastmen, war was the best wine, and to kill or be killed in battle was what every beastman warrior craved.

“By your command, Lady Lysfer! First team, second team, follow Lady Lysfer and charge! Kill them, enslave them, show them the power of us beastmen! If you don’t want to be ridiculed when we return to Dragon City, then let the wounds on your bodies and the heads of your enemies be proof of your glory!”

The two bear warriors were named that way by Louie and were the strongest among the beastmen aside from Lysfer. They had come to the city with Lysfer ten years ago, and now, after having sufficient good and training, they two had reached the ninth rank, allowing them to easily kill hundreds of soldiers with ease.

Lysfer on the other hand had been at the ninth rank for many years. If she had not lost the duel for chieftaincy, then she would have long achieved legendary rank.

Now, her chance was here once more. The best place for beastmen to pile up fame was the battlefield. She wanted to show her bravery to everyone on the main continent and have a resounding victory. She planned to use this war to reach the legendary rank.

“Beastmen, gather your courage. There is no retreat, follow me and kill!”

Led by Lysfer and the two bear brothers, the teams of elite beastmen climbed up the ladder against the rain of stones and arrows. They slashed and killed at every sight.

These beastmen all wore heavy armor. Ordinary weapons could not pierce through it. In addition, the beastmen did not fear death when fighting. Even in the absence of any protection, they could fight bravely and fearlessly. Now that they were armed to the teeth and possessed steel axes and heavy clubs, they tore through the battlefield. In an instant, they cleared out an open space.

Blood flew everywhere. Skulls cracked, limbs and arms separated from torsos. Screams, roars, and moans of pain were all over the place.

There were several elven druids that had also become bloodthirsty due to the battle. Seeing the beastmen opening up space on top of the walls, they gave up their spells and transformed their bodies to fly up the walls. After landing, they transformed into bears and fought with the beastmen together.

On the other hand, the weaker druids stayed in the back. They used their spells to summon their animal companions and followed the army forward.

“Good!”

Alexia stood on the head of the high view of the whole battlefield and praised. Lysfer and the courage of the beastmen increased everyone’s morale. The shouts of people killing echoed all around the place. From time to time, the soldiers of Dragon City would rush into the city and pave a bloody path or be killed by the other side and thrown out of the city. Both sides had casualties.

However, the soldiers of Dragon City were full-time soldiers who had undergone severe training. Each of them had several years of military training, wore steel armor, and possessed steel weapons. This tipped the battle in their favor.

The priests of the Dragon God Church also had the means to kill the enemy, but at this time, all of them were under the leadership of a bishop. The divine arts that they held had been changed to healing divine arts. Louie had given the priests the power to heal through the divine authority of life. As long as they did not die on the spot, anyone could receive treatment to be saved.

Dragon City was rich and possessed a strict militaristic tradition. The pension of fallen soldiers was no joke, and if disabled in war, people would also be given easier jobs. There would never be any soldiers who went unsupported, which was a rare occurrence in San Soliel.

Naturally, this is also because Dragon City’s population and territory were not too big.

As a result, the soldiers of Dragon City were willing to fight bravely. As long as they participated in the war, they could be promoted and live like noble lords. Even after death, they would ascend to the Dragon God’s divine kingdom and live with god.

“Lady Roselia, I know that you do not like this kind of war, but according to the agreement between Father God and Her Highness Lorentia, you need to serve Dragon City. I will not ask you to go into battle to kill the enemy, but I hope that you can protect those beastmen.”

Alexia pointed her hand at Lysfer and the elite beastmen on the far side of the city. These beastmen would definitely become a thorn to the enemy’s side, so the elven dragon had guessed that the enemy would soon send legendary rank powerhouses to attack them.

Thus, Alexia had Roselia protect them. Paladins were rare on the main continent and had a hard time ranking up, but every paladin was powerful without a doubt. Roselia might have just reached legendary rank, but with a paladin’s characteristic, ordinary legendary rank powerhouses were no match for her. Even if two legendary rank powerhouses came at her, she would be able to handle it.

“As a paladin, I will strictly abide by my doctrine. Lady Alexia, you do not need to request me for things like this, just issue me orders!”

Roselia nodded to Alexia. She leaped up like a bird and flew towards the far side of the city. Not long after, Alexia could see an outbreak of intense light and energy. As she expected, the Selar side had dispatched a legendary rank powerhouse.

Alexia remembered what Louie had said to her. Although Roselia believed in the Goddess of Morning, she could trust her. After paladins made a contract, they would not break it even if the gods they believed in told them to. The power of order was the source of a paladin’s power. At the same time, Alexia could not give Roselia anything too important to do. It was enough to just treat her as a good tool.

Alexia acted strictly in accordance with Louie’s request.

The creator of the world, the Twin Serpents of Creation, collided to create the world. Order and chaos were at the origin of everything, so the paladin’s power that came from order would possess such a powerful and terrifying power.

Alexia watched the battlefield with cold eyes. She did not feel anything seeing the sacrifices of both sides. This was the inherent cruelty of dragons, moreover, she had already seen the same massacre in the previous three cities. As a result, war no longer made Alexia feel uncomfortable.

War was a good way to nurture the people of this world. Now, Alexia had an aura that truly fit a king.

“The difference between the legendary rank powerhouses of my side and the enemies’ side is big. Moreover, I still possess a terrifying creature like that red dragon. The enemy is also on a lower level compared to us in terms of soldier quality. Now, the only thing I need to worry about is the demigods. However, demigods are not too problematic. They would not try to fight to the death.”

Alexia pursed her lips and thought about possibilities she had not yet thought of.

“Besides, even if they become desperate, Father God will protect me.”

Thinking so, Alexia watched with her lips curled.

In the sky above the capital of Selar, Noella descended on the city in the form of a shadow dragon. She spewed her dragon breath from time to time, bringing destruction and death to the city. Occasionally, she would use necromancy to summon skeletons to make the city become more chaotic.

As the Queen of Calamity who exterminated kingdoms a thousand years ago, Noella knew how to bring fear to humans.

On the other hand, the red dragon began a killing spree. As an adult red dragon in armor, most attacks were not painful at all. A single bite from him and enemy griffins would be swallowed in a mouthful. After noticing the soldiers in front of the city gates below, he let out a dragon roar and spewed out lava-like dragon breath. Dozens of soldiers were instantly turned into black charcoal.

The appearance of the red dragon caused a commotion among the soldiers at the city gate. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the soldiers of Dragon City finally pried open the doors.

“The gates are broken!!”

“The city is open!!”

“Kill!!”

“Follow me and kill!!”

“……”

“Hiya—-”

A cavalryman in heavy armor finally saw the gates open. This person immediately charged and pierced into the heart of Selar like a sharp knife!

“The gates are broken. I will personally go out to stop the other side’s demigods. I will leave the command here to you.

Alexia held her longsword and said to her adjutant.

“May the light of the Dragon God be with you, Lady Alexia!”

“Father God is always watching over me!”

So said Alexia with irrefutable pride.
