The Sovereign Dragon Ring
Episode 282



The rushing water from the dozens of meters high waterfall, struck the deep water pool at the bottom, creating countless water sprays. The water within this deep pool flowed into a narrow river, slowly winding down. Barker and Zassler followed this small river deeper and deeper into Mt. Black crow .


At the end of the river is a peaceful lake. In the middle of the lake, there was a wooden hut that was built gracefully.


In front of the wooden hut, there was a long-haired man wearing a loose robe holding a light purple long sword. But in reality, this 'slowness' is an illusion, a misperception of Zassler and Barker. Although it seemed slow, in fact, it was extremely fast.


This sensation of visual misperception made Barker and Zassler have the urge to vomit blood.


With each sword attack, it seemed as if the space around him alone was twisted.


Barker and Zassler glanced at each other, their eyes shaken. It had only been a few months, but Linley had made another breakthrough! They had never seen Linley use this sword technique before. Just now, from what they saw, they were certain.


Barker and Zassler stood by the lake, quietly waiting.


After a long time, Linley sheathed his sword.


"Come here . "With a wave of Linley's hand, a gust of wind suddenly appeared, creating an 'air bridge' between the wooden cabin and the edge of the lake. “You can walk. Don'tbeafraid. You won't fall ”


Baker and Zassler glanced at each other, and then they stepped onto this 'air bridge', walking to the center where Linley's wooden cabin was located.


Linley sat next to the stone bench. Flipping his hand, he pulled out a bottle of wine and three cups. Laughing calmly, he said, “Zassler, if you came a few days ago, I might just be able to use the wind to take you straight away. I won't be able to do what I just did. ”


Zassler was an Arch Magus necromancer of the ninth rank. Although he was almost at Saint-rank, he could not fly. And given the relative weakness of his body, there was no way he could walk on water either.


"God, what was that, just now?" Barker had yet to recover from his shock.


Zassler looked at Linley as well. Laughing, Linley explained, "This is one way that one can use the Laws of the Wind. Not long ago, I gained some insight into the 'Slow' aspect, which allowed me to do what I just did. But I am still far from the level of 'Spatial Key'. ”


"What is a 'Spatial Key'?" Zassler.


Linley did not explain further. Zassler and Barker were not practitioners of the Elemental Law of the Wind. How could they understand the explanation? When Linley had been arguing against Miller, the expert from the mysterious mountain village, Linley suddenly saw a clearer path to gain a deeper understanding in the 'Slow' aspect of the wind. Naturally, it made training progress twice as fast during half the effort.


If Miller saw Linley's training, he would be surprised.


In just a few months, Linley had been able to advance this much. This kind of rate of increase was extremely fast.


Pouring a cup of wine for each person, Linley raised his own winecup toast. Smiling, he said, “Tell me why you came. ”


Barker said, “God, after taking the time to manage our current territory, we have completed our military reorganization, and provided them with training for three months. It was time to attack some other cities. "Once he heard these words, a smile crept onto Linley's face.


He's been waiting for today.


"This time, we have to attack that prefectural city, right?" Linley.


The nearby zassler nodded. "really. According to my plan, this time, we should attack the three small towns and the small town of Moat [Mo'te]. "The Linley side currently had six cities and six legions with fifty thousand soldiers. This kind of military power was equivalent to the strength of a prefecture city.


Yet…


Linley's side had experts as well! This is a sure advantage.


“After we destroy the prefecture city, we will be able to publicly announce that we have established the Duchy. “Barker chuckles.


Linley had patiently waited for the establishment of the Duchy. He still remembered Delia's appointment with him in the letter. The day he established his own Duchy was the day that Delia would leave the Yulan Empire to come look for him.


"Linley's. "Zassler asked," After we destroyed the prefectural city, what should we do next? Should we continue to take over cities that do not belong to the Radiant Church or the Cult of Shadows? Or should we start launching attacks on the cities controlled by the Radiant Church? "


Per their battle map, after defeating the prefecture city, to the south of the territory that Linley controlled was the territory under the Radiant Church's rule.


Of course, the control of the Radiant Church was kept secret. On the surface, they were all dukes. But actually, it was quite easy to tell which one was controlled by the Radiant Church and which was controlled by the Cult of Shadows! The way to do that is to simply look at the temples in those prefectural cities. If the city had a Radiant Temple, then the Duchy was secretly controlled by the Radiant Church.


If it had the Shadow Temple, then it was controlled by the Cult of Shadows.


“Start invading the Duchy controlled by the Radiant Church. "Linley's eyes narrowed as he made his decision. “As our activities grow clearer, the Radiant Church's intelligence network will definitely take down five of Barker's brothers. Knowing that you are here, it would be strange if they did not realize that I, Linley, am here as well. ”


Linley looked at Barker and Zassler, then laughed. “After we destroy the prefecture city, we will spend time stabilizing it and conducting a massive reorganization of our troops. After reorganizing our forces, then we will start attacking the territory controlled by the Radiant Church! "


“But of course, let's launch some minor attacks at first, and see how the Radiant Church responds. "Linley laughed calmly. “Let's see if they immediately counterattack, or if they refrain from doing so, or if they send experts to find me. ”


Zassler understood Linley's intentions. Laughing, he said, “True. If the Radiant Church decides to openly fight you, Linley, then .. The name of the Duchy will be based off of your surname. Let's call it 'Baruch Duchy'! ”


"But if the Radiant Church holds back, then we can continue to pretend you are not here, and we can choose a name for the Duchy at random. ”


Hearing Zassler's words, Linley nodded in agreement.


Right now, what they needed to see was how the Radiant Church would react. If the experts from the Radiant Church did not appear, then Linley would not have acted. He would let Barker and his brothers cause trouble, repeatedly attacking the cities. If the enemy expert appears ... then they will respond in this way.


"When are we going to attack Moat City?" Barker looked at Linley.


"Quick and start. "Linley airwaves.


Linley's words caused all six cities to start preparing for war. One legion of nine thousand men, led by Boone, Ankh, and Hazer, went to attack three small towns, while four other legions, under the leadership of Gates and Barker, went to attack three small towns, go to attack the Moat prefecture city.


"Kill it!" The courtyard under the city wall of Moat prefecture was completely blood red. In the beginning, the Moat city in the prefecture had sent twenty thousand of their troops, preparing to fight against the enemy head-on. But when troops led by Gates and Barker attacked them, many casualties.


Gates and Barker are two terrible fighting gods.


Wherever the great great greatax spun, people died in great numbers. Each army has its own elite army, and Gates and Barker are focused on those people instead. Wherever there was a strong pocket of resistance, they went to finish off.


Quickly, the army of twenty thousand people from the Moat prefecture city completely shattered. Their spirit was completely gone, many people immediately gave up, right then and there.


More than half died. The lucky survivors .. were all arrested.


They could not escape even if they wanted to. The city gate to Moat prefecture city was tightly shut. The city governor of Moat prefecture city did not dare to open the gate. Once he did, the two demons would go inside and he would definitely die. Currently, the Moat prefecture city only had twenty thousand soldiers.


The soldiers of Blackdirt City were arranged in neat and orderly rows. The ten thousand prisoners were completely demoralized, and many were injured. Only two or three thousand in battle condition. Blood covered the ground, and the morale of the city guards in Moat city was at the bottom of the stone.


"What the hell is going on? Why are they standing so far away? "Garrison troops are getting panicked. The range of the enemy was far beyond the range of the arc.


Suddenly, the two god-like leaders suddenly advanced forward at high speed, greatax in hand. Their speed was so fast that everyone gaped as they watched. The garrison troops immediately shouted, “Brother, prepare to attack the two men. The fire!"


The hundreds of elite archers selected from within the ordinary ranged division were all equipped with powerful bows, which they began to use to shoot two men. Barker and Gates are too fast. Only a few arrows hit them, but even the children who hit them were deflected.


"Haha, look at this!" Gates blared with excitement. Raising a terrifyingly terrifying greataxe, he cut down towards the distant city gate.


"Bombs!"


A sudden, terrifying sound rang out from the city gate. The tall and powerful city gate shuddered and then began to crack, but it did not completely break.


“Prefectural city gate is much stronger than small cities. "Gates laughed loudly, his laughing voice shaking the sky. The soldiers on the Moat wall could hear it clearly. "Big brother, there's no need for you to get involved, I can deal with that gate. ”


The explosion of a powerful force from afar had caused the soldiers on the walls to become pale-faced.


Who fought like this ?!


Crushed straight through the front gate and stormed in ?!


"Drop the big stones, quick, drop the stones!" The shrill voice of the city governor sounded. The city walls of this prefecture were over ten meters thick. In addition to the city gates that are usually closed, there are actually several other holes. From those cracks, large rocks began to fall.


The ten-plus boulders were thick, collapsing with enough force that even a warrior of the ninth rank could not ignore them. It is used mainly for dealing with experts.


"Dropping big rocks?"


Gates' face changed, and he howled furiously, "Motherf* cker, move aside!" The Greataxe moved as agile as a leaf, gently touching the city gate. The gate shook violently, and then half of it broke and shattered. But with a low rumbling sound, the boulders began to fall, blocking the entrance of the city.


"Destroy. “Barker also uses the same technique, 'holding something heavy as if it were light'.


"Boom!" The stone shuddered, and pieces of stone were sent flying everywhere. Over a meter deep cracks appeared on the surface of the rock, but compared to its enormous size, even deep cracks meant nothing.


Gates and Barker glanced at each other.


"We must act according to His Majesty's orders. "Gates laughs.


As Linley had directed, Barker and his brothers were to keep their identity as Undying Warriors a secret. They were one of Linley's hidden weapons. After all, the Radiant Church did not know their identity with certainty. The only thing they could reveal was what the Radiant Church already knew.


"Haeru!" Barker roared loudly.


"Groooooowls!" An earth-shaking roar could be heard, and the terrifying black beetle tiger that was in the middle of the army suddenly grew dramatically larger, reaching a height of ten meters and a length of twenty. Seeing this incredible three-tiered magical beast ..everyone in Moat city in the prefecture was completely stunned.


"Saint-level magical beast!"


The guards were silent.


"Bang!" The three-story-tall Haeru turned into a black blur, charging at the city gate. In the blink of an eye, he crossed thousands of meters of distance to the city gate. The city gate was twenty meters high, but Haeru's terrifying body hit the ten-meter-high boulder.


A terrible explosion could be heard.


The huge rock split apart as if it was made of tofu, exploding into countless pieces that flew in all directions. Many of the garrison soldiers in the city were hit by flying stones and their heads opened or their chests collapsed.


A terrifying magical beast, Haeru, barged in and started killing.


He is an absolute war machine. Anything standing in front of him would be trampled to death or thrown into the air. Countless casualties!


"Redy! We're surrendering!"


"Rush!!!"


Even the strongest warrior, when faced with a terrifying magical beast, would feel helpless. All of them immediately threw their weapons and knelt down, signifying surrender. A Saint-level savage beast .. how could a warrior like them possibly fight such a powerful force?


“Red. I give up . ”The city governor of Moat prefecture city knelt down, his whole body shook.


After taking over the prefectural city of Moat, Linley's side now had a prefectural city and nine small towns, and now controlled a population of nine million. They could already be considered a Duchy in a relatively large size.
