The Sovereign Dragon Ring

Episode 169's

On the border of the Kingdom of Hess was an army that numbered over 800,000 soldiers. In the vast expanse of land, military camps dotted the land like a series of mountains, boundless and endless. But this enormous army was quite organized.

But in front of the military camp, there was a vast expanse of empty land.

“Hey, Uncle Rand [Lan'te]. If an army of ferocious beasts were to attack, could we hold it back? ”A young armored man who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old said in a soft voice.

Next to him was a muscular, bearded man. While releasing the small wine jar from his pocket, he took a small gulp, then laughed out loud. “Casual. This time, in addition to the elite forces of our Hess Kingdom, the knights of the Radiant Temple have been sent by the Radiant Church, along with many magi lords. Don'worry. The spells of the Magi are quite powerful. ”

"really. "This was the young man's first battle. Hearing the veteran's words, he felt a little more steady.

But the muscular man sighed to himself inside. Because he, in fact, had seen how evil and powerful a savage beast was. If thousands or tens of thousands of magical beasts charged towards them, the only way humans could survive was by paying a price in blood.

"Roa!"

Suddenly, a low growl sounded from a great distance away.

"Uncle Rand, I think I heard something. "The young man grew nervous.

"It's okay . "Rand said loudly, but suddenly, Rand squinted her eyes and looked to the south. On top of that barren, empty plain, countless thick clustered dots could be seen.

“Magic beast. Hordes of magical beasts! "

From another part of the military camp, shrill screams rang out. Instantly, the entire military camp started moving. From the highest-ranking general to the lowest-leveled army, everyone increased their vigilance.

All 800,000 male soldiers were preparing for battle.

"That's it, so much!" Many human warriors, upon seeing the horde of magical beasts in the distance, could not help but take a cold breath. From afar, countless Vampiric Iron Bulls had formed into a series of formation lines. Their muscles were tied up, they were moving towards humans at high speed.

There were over ten thousand Vampiric Iron Bulls.

"Rumb, rumbling. '' Vampiric Iron Bulls attacked wildly, causing the ground to tremble. The eyes of each and every Vampiric Iron Bull had reddened, and their bodies were emitting flames. They looked like a sea of fire.

The earth is vibrating. Endless sea of fire.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"

Suddenly, the sky became filled with many translucent javelins in blue. These javelins fell onto the Vampiric Iron Bulls like rain.

"Magician master!" Many human warriors were merry.

"Puichi!" Each javelin had amazing strength. As one of the pure water-style element spells, they were extremely powerful against fire-type magical beasts.

This ice javelin descended, either piercing into the ground or into the bodies of the Vampiric Iron Bulls. "Puichi!" A few ice javelins pierced straight into the internal organs of the Vampiric Iron Bulls, who roared furiously, ran a few more steps, then fainted.

One Vampiric Iron Bull after another died, but most of them continued to charge forward. Even if they suffered some minor injuries, they would only become even more furious.

Fresh blood stained the ground.

"Snooort!" The Vampiric Iron Bulls roared furiously.

"Farmers! Ready ... Shoot! ”The officers shouted loudly.

Instantly, the sky was filled with countless arrows. Thick, winding arrows descended from the sky in thick waves.

One sharp arrow after another hit the Vampiric Iron Bulls, but their strong and fastened muscles easily repelled many arrows.

The tactics that human forces use against other human forces are not always effective against wild beasts.

"Pikements, formations!"

One heavy armored and thick muscular warrior after another stepped forward, all holding steel spears. Assuming the defensive formation, they were quietly waiting for the attack of the Vampiric Iron Bulls. "Snooooooort!" The red-eyed Vampiric Iron Bulls advanced forward.

Countless steel spears were there to greet the Vampiric Iron Bulls, but the Vampiric Iron Bulls simply lowered their horns and continued to charge forward as it roared. Like a great flood, they struck the spear viciously.

"Yephii!" The Vampiric Iron Bulls were pierced by that steel spear.

The ones who were capable of using steel spears were all at least warriors of the third rank. Moreover, all the pikemen supported each other in a powerful spear formation, borrowing and lending strength as needed.

The first wave of Vampiric Iron Bulls were unable to break through this defensive line. But behind them, more Vampiric Iron Bulls continued to attack.

The battle between the magical beast army and the human army was fierce. The army of beasts consisted of more than Vampiric Iron Bulls. There was also the package of Windwolves, and also the elite pride of Fire Lion who was even more terrifying. There are also Landwyrms, Velocidragons, and more …

But the human army is not weak either. Other than ordinary warriors, they also had some truly powerful magi that had yet to move. Moreover, the Radiant Church also sent out a number of magi of the seventh, eighth, and even ninth rank. There was also the elite Knight division of the Radiant Temple …

The battle lasted for three days, and in the end, the human army was forced to retreat. In just three days, the human side had lost over 300,000 soldiers, and the number of injured was even more shocking. But that army of beasts suffered a lot of casualties as well.

However, the two forces seemed to have a tacit understanding, as neither side had utilized their Saint level combatants. The Saint-level fighters were just watching from afar, and did not act.

Hess City is in a state of chaos.

This battle at the border had resulted in the human army retreating a hundred kilometers at a time. They are now very close to Hess City, and many people in Hess City have made the decision to evacuate.

Hess city. The quiet manor where Linley was.

"Yale, we'll be leaving soon. Hurry . Don't waste any more time. Shouted Monroe Dawson. “I hope the human army won't be able to survive for a few more days. The flames of war will engulf Hess City. ”

Yale nodded. "Understand, dad. ”

"But Third Brother, he ..." Yale was still worried about Linley. George and Reynolds, on the Yale side, were also worried.

Monroe Dawson frowned. "How about this . You go try to persuade him one last time. Anyway, we have to go tonight. "After she spoke, Monroe Dawson turned around and left.

Finally, the three of them headed towards Linley's room. As soon as they entered the backyard, they saw Linley sitting on a chair next to the stone table, calmly staring at the chisel straight in his hand. Seeing this, Yale, George, and Reynolds did not feel happy or excited at all.

For the sake of wanting to help Linley wake up, they would often place straight chisels there, along with statues. But Linley seemed to have no desire at all to sculpt. Every time he saw the chisel, he would recall how Grandpa Doehring had painstakingly trained him to sculpt.

He could still remember how proud and majestic Grandpa Doehring looked when he first gave to Linley the secrets of the Straight Sculpture school. At that moment, Grandpa Doehring actually possessed the grand demeanor of a grandmaster.

"Third Brother. "Yale walked straight towards him.

Linley raised his head to look at Yale. A smile formed on his face, but he did not say anything.

“Third brother, the army of beasts will break through the border. The human side had been forced back a hundred kilometers. It was only a matter of time before they entered Hess City. We have to go . "Yale said solemnly. "Go?" Linley was shocked. "Oh. Okay . ”

Seeing how Linley was acting, Reynolds, the most grumpy of the four, grabbed Linley by his clothes. Gazing directly into Linley's eyes, he angrily shouted, "Third Brother, what is wrong with you? Talk up! Why did you become like this? The person I admire the most, Reynolds, in this world is you. I often brag to others about you. But now? Look atyou! Look how you became! "

"Amuse me?" Said Linley scoffing. "Awe what?"

"I heard Boss Yale say that because of the enmity between you and Clayde, you are willing to throw away everything to be able to kill him. You dare to act and you dare to accept the consequences. As your brother, I admire you! But now? You killed Clayde, then you killed six Special Executors of the Radiant Church. Isn't this something you should be proud of? Why did you become like this? "Reynolds is really angry right now.

Next to him, George frowned.

"Third Brother. "George suddenly shouted at Linley.

Reynolds and Yale turned to look at George. Linley looked at her as well.

"Third brother, why did you kill those six Special Executors?" George asked while shouting. George suddenly realized ..Even if Linley killed Clayde, there was no reason for the Special Executor of the Radiant Church to try and kill Linley.

After all, Clayde was no longer their king. “They want to kill me. "Said Linley in a low voice.

"Why do they want to kill you?" George had a feeling that he had touched on the reason behind Linley's depression.

“Because the Radiant Church killed my mother. "Said Linley calmly.

Standing next to Linley, Yale and Reynolds were both shocked, but a flash of insight suddenly appeared in George's mind. She roared immediately, “The Radiant Church killed your mother? But you, Third Brother, won't take revenge? What are you afraid of?"

"No revenge?"

Those three words seemed to have struck Linley like a bolt of lightning.

"really. It was the Radiant Church. "Linley's dull eyes slowly began to sharpen.

"If it wasn't for the Radiant Church continuing to seek pure souls to offer to the Radiant Sovereign, then Clayde wouldn't have given my mother to the Radiant Church, resulting in my mother's death. ”

"If it wasn't for my mother's death, my father wouldn't have died. ”

"If my father is still alive, why should I take revenge? How could Grandpa Doehring die? Moreover, Grandpa Doehring died for helping me fight against those six Special Executors. ”

Linley started to feel hate in his heart.

“This is all because of the Radiant Church !!! Radiant, radiant, haha! Radiant Church beaming? If it was luminous, then why would they kill people with pure, innocent souls and offer them to the Radiant Sovereign? "Linley's heart started beating with hatred.

The actions of the Radiant Shrine were truly too fierce.

Because of their cruelty, a series of tragedies have occurred, and his own life is one of those tragedies.

"Boss. "Bebe saw that Linley's face was growing strong. He was worried that Linley would be rash. He mentally said, “Bos, the last words Grandpa Doehring said to you are that he wishes you would live well. ”

Linley's heart trembled. How could Linley forget the last words Grandpa Doehring said just before his soul was gone.

“Bebe, don't worry. I will never act rashly again. I will survive .. The entity that I will fight against is the Radiant Church, not one particular individual. I know my own limits. "Linley's eyes had grown sturdy and hard.

Seeing the change in eyes and the expressions of Linley, Yale, George, and Reynolds could not help but feel elated.

In the past few days, Linley had always seemed so lost, so far away. He had never looked as firm as he was now, and his eyes had never been that firm.

"Boss Yale. Second bro Sdr. Fourth, I have decided to leave. "Linley made a decision.

"Third brother, you .." Yale and the others were shocked.

"Don't worry. I am fine . "Linley laughed, giving each of the three brooches a punch to the chest. Yale and the others started laughing as well. Seeing Linley like this, they felt even more relieved.

Wearing a warrior uniform, carrying an adamantine heavy sword on his back, and with Bebe on his shoulders, Linley was left alone.

After leaving the chaotic city of Hess, Linley headed east. After half a day, Linley arrived at the border to the outer area of the Magical Beasts Range Mountain Range. Looking at the Mountain Range's boundless Magical Beasts, a hint of a smile appeared on Linley's face.

"Radiant Church, just wait. There will come a day when I will pull you out of the roots. "This view of Linley was very firm.

He lost his father. She lost her mother. He has lost Grandpa Doehring.

The only one Linley could now rely on was himself.

"Boss, are we going to cut through the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts?" Bebe confused.

Linley laughed, shaking his head. "No . First, we go to the core area of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts, and then we will head directly to the north, until we reach the end. "" That's ten thousand kilometers! "Bebe was a little stunned. “And the core area has many very strong magical beasts. "Bebe was really surprised that Linley wanted to travel in the core region of the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts for ten thousand kilometers.

“If not, how should I practice? I have not mastered the correct way to use a heavy sword. If I can't even master a heavy sword and use it properly, how am I going to deal with the Radiant Church? ”

Linley immediately stepped forward, entering the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. And with this, Linley began the longest training period of his entire life ...
