Evolving Silver Dragon

Chapter 508: 496 The Collapse of the Strong Wall_1
Of course, what gave the commander the most confidence was the towering and thick walls of Lima Fortress.

Moreover, after experiencing the near-collapse crisis last time, the walls and gates of Lima Fortress had been urgently reinforced.

In addition to these, the new allies of the Western Empire had also brought some pretty impressive new technology for Lima Fortress’ defense.

Apart from its original defense being as hard as a turtle’s shell, some special protective barriers added even more security to it.

Together with the fortress being almost packed with soldiers from various races, it gave the commander a sense of illusion.

Ha! What if there were countless undead armies everywhere? He could guard this place until he died of old age!

Under normal circumstances, in ordinary siege battles, even if the strength of both sides was equal, the attacker would suffer several times more casualties than the defender, or even more than tenfold.

What’s more, believing that he had absolute superiority after having the Children of War and those elite allied forces, the commander was convinced.

Furthermore, in the public’s impression, the undead would generally be fish subject to numbers.

It seemed that the other party had misjudged the gap between the two sides’ strength and thought that if they had numbers, they could win in the end, right?

Looking at the tide of corpses outside the city, the commander laughed coldly, and the cruel reality would soon tell the opposite side who was the stronger one.

At the same time, it seemed that the guy Silver Moon had become somewhat inflated, thinking that defeating the Eastern Empire, Felton, and many forces of the Dragon Soaring Empire was nothing.

The reason those countries and forces failed was merely that they were incompetent.

He, on the other hand, would firmly defend Lima Fortress, and later, he would even recapture the lost territory of the empire and leave a profound and splendid mark on the empire’s history.

Yes, his life trajectory should be just like this!

Wait, what’s going on?

Just as the commander was already considering giving himself a loud title so that he could be remembered more easily for generations, the disturbance on the wall interrupted his thoughts. When the commander looked at the direction of the commotion with dissatisfaction, he found that the soldiers on the wall were looking up at the sky with panic on their faces.

This sign seemed to indicate that there was something in the sky.

So, what exactly were they looking at?

With such doubts, the commander looked up at the sky in front of him according to the soldiers’ gaze, and he saw a terrifyingly long, strange silver dragon with an oppressive aura in the sky like a fortress.

Even though it was their first encounter, he recognized the identity of this silver dragon at a glance.

In this continent, the only creature that could have such a terrifying size would be the legendary Silver Dragon Lord.

Just looking from afar, the commander’s thighs were shaking uncontrollably, but he quickly calmed himself down.

What if it was the rumored Silver Dragon Lord? Could he destroy Lima Fortress with his own strength?

If this Silver Dragon really appeared on the battlefield, then he would have the opportunity to kill the source of disaster and fear that it brought to the creatures of the continent.

However, he thought that the Silver Dragon should not be so foolish…

And just as he was thinking about it, he was surprised to find that the strange Silver Dragon, which was exceptionally huge and weird-looking, was not only getting closer and closer to Lima Fortress, but its altitude was also rapidly decreasing.

All these signs suggested that this strange Silver Dragon was coming for Lima Fortress.

No… it can’t be…

Originally, he thought that the Silver Dragon was going for the city, but looking at the Silver Dragon’s appearance, it was heading straight for the walls.

So, was this Silver Dragon planning to crash into the wall and commit suicide?

Currently, the commander was quite confident in the walls of Lima Fortress.

However, his confidence quickly vanished…

“Boom!”

With a loud noise, Otto showed no sign of slowing down and hit the hard walls of Lima Fortress head-on.

The walls, which the commander had pinned his hopes on, crumbled to pieces in just an instant under Otto’s full-speed attack.

As for Otto, the initiator, he stood in the center of the massive gap in the wall, letting out a sky-shaking roar. Then, his thick dragon tail swept around, clearing out a huge open space for the army to charge.

No matter how hard and heavy the walls were, or whatever protective barriers from allies, all of them were worthless against Otto’s absolute power!

“How…how is this possible? This can’t be real!”

The commander’s eyes widened, bloodshot, and he shouted hysterically at the window of the tall tower.

This didn’t help; instead, it attracted Otto’s attention.

Helpless, this kid’s screaming voice was just too unpleasant to hear.

In order to get him to shut up as soon as possible, Otto snapped his fingers, and then a scorching fireball quickly flew towards the noisy window.

“Boom…”

With the explosion and flames rising, the world finally calmed down for the moment.

Immediately afterward, the surrounding area was filled with shrill killing sounds, as the tide of undead rushed through Otto’s side and madly poured into Lima Fortress.

Even though the commander was already dead, Lima Fortress wouldn’t give up resistance so easily.

Due to Otto’s terrifying performance like a natural disaster, the ordinary soldiers in the city had almost lost their will to fight.

However, these ordinary soldiers were mainly responsible for daily patrols and security, transportation of supplies, and assisting the Children of War in their daily lives.

Moreover, their number was much smaller compared to the Children of War, so, when it really comes to fighting, they were generally dispensable.

Compared to the ordinary soldiers fleeing everywhere, the Children of War were the complete opposite, rushing towards the ocean of undead with determined expressions.

Even though the commander was dead, it would not have much impact on them for the time being, as they had been ordered to defend Lima Fortress at all costs.

The undead at the forefront, as usual, were the lowest-ranking skeletons and zombies which were just cannon fodder.

These low-level soldiers were naturally no match for the Children of War, and their purpose was merely to wear out the enemy’s stamina as much as possible.

Or rather, these lowest-level undead were a useful moving shield.

In the rear of these low-level undead, a large number of Skeleton Archers and Corpse Demons were the main attack force.

Bone arrows full of corpse poison and various low-level undead spells rained down wildly in all directions.

Although the Children of War were strong, they were essentially humans, and as long as they were humans, they had limits and could be defeated and destroyed.

Slowly, some Children of War fell on the battlefield, but many more undead were buried with them.

After all, this was an indiscriminate, full-coverage attack.
