Eighty-Nine Picnic
On the western border of the Higgs Kingdom, close to the place called "White Land" in the Holy Demon Empire, several soldiers are standing on the tallest city wall built by the boulder, looking boredly at the desolate plain and wilderness opposite them. .
In theory, the Holy Demon Empire and all mortal empires are not directly adjacent to each other. There is a "white ground" hundreds of miles wide between them. These places are considered semi-artificial isolation areas that separate the Holy Demon Empire from other mortal empires.
After walking through this almost uninhabited isolation belt, further west is the real land of the Magic Empire. Although it was faint, there was a magical aura there. This side of the isolation belt is the forbidden area where mortals who have no magical aura live.
Of course, the magical aura is not like being blocked by a wall and suddenly disappearing on an invisible boundary. The west side of this white land actually has a little magical aura surging, but it is weaker and less obvious.
The weak magical aura can only support some low-level monsters of small size, but they prefer to live near the west side and never move to the east side of the mortal empire. Therefore, on the border of the Mortal Empire, only ordinary wild animals can be seen.
This white land, similar to the isolation area, is only the nominal territory of the Holy Demon Empire. Although they control this land, they never develop and utilize it. They only prohibit mortals from living in it.
In fact, it is not an explicit prohibition, and even the Holy Demon Empire has never said that these white lands are not allowed to enter mortals. It's just that mortals almost never set foot in this area, because this place is actually a "hunting" area for giant dragons.
The Holy Demon Empire has a large number of dragon knights, and while those dragons are extraordinary, they are also big stomach kings one by one. Feeding these giant dragons is a very tedious thing, and theoretically requires a large number of monsters, and preferably high-level monsters.
However, even the relatively cheap giant horses and other domesticated beasts are very valuable in transportation or combat power, so the Holy Demon Empire can only stock the dragons of those dragon knights, and let these dragons forage and catch them near the border. Anything you can eat.
Over time, the mounts of these dragon knights can only rely on the occasional low-level monsters and ordinary beasts in the white area for food, so they have become so "weak". Rather than saying that they are giant dragons, it is better to say that they are just degenerate descendants of high-level demon beasts.
But even these giant dragons, which can only eat a lot of beasts, are still the existence that the mortal empire cannot defeat. They are still powerful and flyable, still the demons of the cold-weapon army.
The Holy Demon Empire itself knows the truth of not being able to fish out of the pond. Their dragon knights will never cross the white ground to harass the surrounding mortal empires, so as to ensure that the enslaved mortal empires obey the will of the Holy Demon Empire.
Of course, once the Holy Demon Empire needs to enter the mortal area to fight, it becomes a disaster that often happens but has no place to complain. When the dragon is hungry, it will eat cattle and sheep, and when there are no cattle and sheep, it will eat other things.
"I said, why do I always feel like something is going to happen today?" the Higgs Empire frontier soldier with a spear complained to his yawning companion: "Since this morning, I have always felt that something is wrong. wrong."
"Ha." His companion sneered after yawning, and then sarcastically said to his companion: "Come on! Look at us, a lifeless wilderness! What is there to stand in such a crappy place every day? Feel good?"
"Okay! Shut up!" The leading officer leaned against the crenels of the city wall, looked at the wilderness in the distance, frowned and instructed his two subordinates, "Be smart, there are still more than ten days. It's time for us to switch defenses and leave, so don't make any trouble!"
Soldiers of the Higgs Kingdom were reluctant to serve in the west, so every few months they had to switch to the western frontier troops.
It's a tradition, a tradition for fairness.
"Yes! Captain!" The two soldiers quickly raised their heads, expressing that they must support the captain's wise decision. It's just that when they raised their heads, they saw something flying over from the sky in the distance.
"Team, captain! Over there! It may be the dragon knight of the Holy Demon Empire!" A soldier pointed to the sky in the distance. He saw something and said to his captain.
As he looked at it with his fingers, there was indeed a black spot that was rapidly approaching. And around this black spot, there are more black spots...
"My God..." The captain raised his head, but his eyes widened in surprise, and it took a long while to squeeze out such a sigh. This is already good for him, because the two soldiers standing behind him are just looking at the sky with their heads raised, and they can't even say a word.
Because above their heads, a giant dragon spread out its wings and approached the city wall where they stood guard a little bit below the clouds. On both sides of this giant dragon, there are other giant dragons flapping their wings from time to time.
Following on both sides of these giant dragons, there are still flying dragons, and behind them, there are still huge and scaly dragons flying.
"One, two, three..." Watching those giant dragons approaching his position little by little, the Sentinel Captain of the Higgs Kingdom no longer knew what to do, so he could only look up and count them subconsciously. The dragon flying overhead.
"The gods are above, is the Holy Demon Empire planning to destroy the mortals?" A soldier who finally recovered, trembling with his weapon, sighed in a trembling voice.
He saw the dragon knight flying over his head covering the sky, the huge dragon roaring one after another, and the majestic momentum made his legs tremble uncontrollably. At least dozens of dragon knights flew over this checkpoint and flew to the hinterland of the Higgs Kingdom.
"Have you seen it? There are at least fifty giant dragons!" After the giant dragons disappeared into the distant horizon, a soldier who finally regained his normal breathing was so excited that he pulled another companion's arm and asked loudly. road.
"Yes, I saw it! I'm not blind!" Another companion shook off his arm and complained with lingering fear: "The lineup just now seemed to be covered by a dark cloud, even a blind man can feel that Share pressure?"
"I don't know which place is going to be unlucky again. With so many dragon knights, it is more than enough to destroy a big country like the Arrant Empire." Withdrawing his gaze from a distance, the captain shook his head slightly and said. .
"There are at least fifty giant dragons! Captain!" The soldier who was already slightly excited held his weapon and shouted to the somewhat disturbed captain: "It's a spectacular sight! I didn't expect that it was the first time I saw a dragon knight, You can see so much at once.”
"That's not fifty! That's more than seventy dragons! It could also be the number eighty. I ended up messing up the count." The captain said with some regret: "What the hell is the Holy Demon Empire doing, why so many are dispatched at one time. Dragon knight?"
"You stay here! I'll go back! Although it's not as fast as these dragon knights, we still have to send the news to the capital!" As he said, he walked down the city wall and walked quickly towards the barracks in the distance. .
...
"There's a village down there!" Ildo, who flew beside Grand Knight Commander Didric, overlooked the ground beneath his feet and loudly reminded Grand Knight Commander Didric, who was in charge of commanding the Dragon Knights this time.
Didric nodded, indicating that the dragon knight would descend. Under the leadership of the huge dragon under his crotch with a wingspan of 35 meters, more than seventy dragons began to descend.
Without avoiding the houses in the village at all, the dragons began to descend. The dragon claws easily knocked down the walls of the houses in the village. Under the huge body, the crying of children and the panicked shouts of adults made the feast even more atmosphere.
"We are innocent! My lord! Let us go!" An old man knelt in front of a giant dragon and opened his arms helplessly to pray: "We have never questioned the glory of magic..."
"Yes, I know..." The dragon knight lowered his eyes and looked down at the mortal in front of him, nodded and agreed with the other party's statement: "But we are just passing by here, and I will add that it is not aimed at you."
Following his explanation, the giant dragon under his crotch stuck out its head and swallowed the old man who was begging for forgiveness. The old man's arm was still struggling outside the dragon's mouth, but after a few seconds, the arm was thrown out, and it landed next to the collapsed fence with blood.
"If you want to blame, then blame Alan Hill..." Riding on the dragon's back, Ildo silently watched his dragon devour a woman. In the eyes of the dragon, these unscented foods were unpalatable. Food is no different from cattle and sheep.
These mortals can feed them and give them the strength to continue flying and fighting, but that's all--eating these mortals can't improve their magic power, it's just a stopgap measure for activities in the forbidden magic realm.
"Too little! Not enough to eat at all." A dragon knight complained after seeing the last two mortals being divided up by two dragons, "This village is too small to be divided."
"It doesn't matter! If it's too few, then go to the next village!" Grand Knight Commander Didric gently stroked the scales on the back of the dragon under his crotch, then pulled the reins of his dragon and gave A command that sounds very reasonable.
The dragons, who had eaten something, roared loudly and began to flap their wings, and they flew into the sky, leaving only the ground in ruins—the new war had not yet begun, and it was already bloody and savage.
