Chapter 802: Volume 24 Continuous Camps of Beacon Fires - 13 Complete Victory
When thirty Earthwalking Dragons entered the fray with heavy steps, it signaled that the conclusion of the battle was imminent. The scale of war, previously in a deadlock, immediately tipped in favor of the Caucasus side at this moment.
Three Earthwalking Dragons formed a single attack vanguard, while thirty Earthwalking Dragons created ten such vanguards. With increasing speed, the Earthwalking Dragons, wrapped in thick scales, charged towards the Homer camp like moving strongholds gone mad.
The task of leading naturally fell to Shatima, who had volunteered for the role. Seeing dozens of massive reptiles clustered behind her, Shatima felt little sense of accomplishment. Leading such a group of crawlers to charge was an insult to the noble dignity of the Ice Dragon, but this was not the time to compare bloodlines; it was a crucial moment to break the enemy lines. Although Shatima was simple-minded, she still understood the priorities, especially after being repeatedly reminded by Komer.
A bizarre scene unfolded: a beautiful war goddess in heavy armor outran thirty Earth Dragon Warriors, holding in her hand a Dragon Spear not inferior to those held by the Earth Dragon Warriors. Her running speed was comparable to the enhanced pace of the Earth Dragrons; this sight would stun anyone who saw it, including the Barbarians and Half-Beastmen watching from the sides.
The Barbarian and Half-beast formations, already instructed, opened up numerous fractures, following Shatima’s lead. The Earth Dragon Warriors, urging on the Earthwalking Dragons, stormed through these openings and trampled into the Homer camp. The enormous Dragon Spears, waved vigorously by the Warriors, stirred up swirls of blood mist. No one could withstand this earth-splitting strike; not the knights nor the warriors could counter this overwhelming surge. The giant bodies of the Earthwalking Dragons became a nightmare for the Homer knights and warriors. Whether it was combat knives or knight spears, they could only leave trivial marks on the dragons, whose smooth and thick scales served as an indestructible protective layer. Except for a few targeted attacks by knights that caused the Earthwalking Dragons to bleed, most physical attacks were futile as if scratching itching through shoes.
Duke Philip and Carl • Libukneisi watched this scene in shock. The swarming Earthwalking Dragons instantly broke the stalemate between the two sides, scattering Homer’s line in an instant. The morale-boosted Barbarian and Half-beast armies then charged like a breached dam, spiraling towards the now crumbling Homer camp.
Adjusting his armor, Carl • Libukneisi gently lifted his great sword. The situation was irreversibly changed; he still hadn’t seen any sign of the Nirvana Knights. If the Galleians had betrayed Homer, it meant they were stuck, unable to breakthrough. But now none of that mattered, even if the Nirvana Knights showed up, it was too late. The Homer camp had completely collapsed, and no one’s arrival could reverse this defeat.
"Duke, please leave first, let me hold them off for you," Carl’s face showed a divine dignity that left the confused Philip at a loss for words.
