Chapter 108: 106 Lightning Airstrike (Sixth Update)_l
Translator: 549690339
As for the intelligence about the north, Gaz the goblin had pretty much covered everything.
Although the Thunder Legion seemed like a tough nut to crack, it was clear that Otto wouldn’t back out so easily.
While the Soaring Dragon Legion seemed to be at a disadvantage against them, don’t forget, Otto was the biggest variable.
With his physique far superior to ordinary adult dragons, as long as the timing was right, his participation in the battlefield could completely turn the tide of the abnormal war.
Therefore, the Soaring Dragon Legion continued to push north towards Nolan Forest.
Of course, Otto didn’t intend to directly confront them; before a full-scale war broke out, some necessary reconnaissance was needed.
Finally, at a considerable distance from the Thunder Legion, the Soaring Dragon Legion found a suitable location to settle down.
In the core of the Soaring Dragon Legion’s camp, Otto was lying on his large blanket, listening to the report of several Lizardman scouts.
Only Saru and Gaz accompanied Otto; the other higher-ranking monsters stayed in their respective racial camps.
Sofia had gone to help Moray, who seemed to have encountered some trouble.
At this moment, Bark, the captain of the Lizardman scout team, had just transformed back from a nimble large lizard to a humanoid form.
To better execute the scouting tasks, Saru had selected some elite Lizardmen scouts and handed them over to the shamans within the clan for training.
After a certain period of learning, a few Lizardmen had already mastered some low-level spells.
For example, using spells to transform into a fast-running large lizard on the ground, or an alligator that could easily move through the swamp.
At Saru’s request, these Druid-like spells were to be learned by the outstanding Lizardman scouts.
Bark was the best among them; not only had he learned the rudimentary transformation spells, but he also mastered Entanglement and Fog Skill.
Though these were low-level spells, they enabled Bark to venture deeper into dangerous territories, and even if discovered, he had a high chance of successfully escaping.
Now, Bark was representing the Lizardman scout team in reporting some recent situations of the Thunder Legion to Otto.
He respectfully knelt before Otto and said, “Your Majesty, the Thunder Legion’s recent activities have been quite significant, and I believe they have discovered us.
During our scouts’ reconnaissance, some of our warriors have been attacked.
Although the losses are not significant, it has become increasingly difficult to penetrate further into their territory.”
It was difficult to avoid being discovered by the tens of thousands of approaching monster army, even though they were stationed quite far away.
“So, have you gathered any useful intelligence?”
In response to Otto’s question, Bark replied, “We found that the outer defenses are mainly made up of peripheral monster races of the Thunder Legion.
Orcs, Bearmen, Dragonmen, and so on, these mixed monster races amount to about three thousand in total.
Under the command of a small number of Minotaurs and Centaurs, they are crowded together in their original small territory.
The place used to belong to the Bearmen and is called Salmon Village.”
Bark thought for a moment and shared some of his own opinions: “Based on the experiences of Sir Gaz and Sir Link, most of them are monsters, tribe members, and subordinates who joined the Thunder Legion later.
We have only penetrated the periphery of the Thunder Legion territory at most; to go further, we can’t bypass the monsters in Salmon Village.
So, I’m sorry, Your Majesty, we can only provide this much information at the moment.”
As Otto nodded, just as he was about to say something, he suddenly looked up at the northern sky with a dark expression.”Your Majesty?”
Saru looked at Otto with some confusion, not knowing what was going on all of a sudden.
However, soon, the chaos on the outskirts of the Soaring Dragon Legion provided an answer for Otto.
The old lizardman looked surprised as he followed Otto’s gaze to the northern sky.
Soon, he saw hundreds of Chimeras with blue dragon heads flying above the Soaring Dragon Legion, provocatively roaring.
Not only that, the hundred Chimeras that nearly covered the entire sky occasionally spat out dense lightning storms at the area densely populated with monsters below them.
This kind of top-down high-energy attack made the Soaring Dragon Legion instantly chaotic.
Most of the monsters in the outer city were hit by the lightning breath of the Chimera.
Faced with this deadly aerial strike, these creatures could only rage helplessly.
Throwing spears and rocks were worthless against the Chimeras flying in the sky, unable to cause fatal damage.
“So they want to teach me a lesson, make me think it’s difficult and retreat? But be careful not to go too far!”
Otto narrowed his eyes at the Chimeras wreaking havoc in the sky, for now, they had a new opponent.
Under Gaz’s command, giant eagles and perytons had begun to counterattack, while manticores and hawkmen were also ready.
Saru was also urging the few red-headed Chimeras and wyverns in the Soaring Dragon Legion to join the battle.
Madwolf Warwick, on the outskirts of the Soaring Dragon Legion, grinned at the Chimeras in the sky. He had stolen a throwing spear from a neighboring Lizardmen camp.
With a crazed grin on his face, the mentally unstable Dragonborn Gnoll stared intently at a Chimera spewing lightning above him.
Then, the muscles in his left hand visibly withered quickly, and his right hand, tightly holding the spear, began to swell.
“Whoosh!”
With a terrifying whistling sound, the thick wooden spear went with an astonishing speed and force towards a Chimera that was breathing lightning.
“Puff…
The thick spear pierced the Chimera’s abdomen, taking a large chunk of flesh and organs with it.
The intense pain prevented the Chimera from maintaining normal flight, and it fell from the sky, screaming, and landed with a heavy impact.
Then, it was torn apart and devoured by the surrounding monsters.
As a large number of flying monsters belonging to the Soaring Dragon Legion joined the battle, the aerial battlefield became chaotic, with many giant eagles and hawkmen falling from the sky.
But the Chimera’s situation was not much better. As more and more enemies filled the sky, their pressure also began to increase.
The reason for their attack was just a warning. A hundred Chimeras alone could not destroy tens of thousands of evil monsters.
So, the leader of the Chimeras, a Blue-headed Chimera significantly larger than the others, let out a long howl and prepared to lead his people to retreat.
But Otto would not let them go so easily.
A column of scorching fire swept across the area where the Chimeras were
most densely packed, carbonizing both two Chimeras and several unlucky
hawkmen in its path.
Like an apocalypse dragon, Otto flapped his massive wings and appeared in the air, sneering: “You’ve come all this way, and you want to leave without leaving anything behind?”
