Mount & Blade: Wind of War - Chapter 637
c624 Vilkalian’s Lament
When two hundred dragons finally passed through the time-space tunnel and descended into this world, the battle was over.
The ground was covered with broken scales and blood.
The genius of the Holy Dragon Cliff, the Dark Holy Dragon Link, died after being pierced through the heart.
The Supreme Dragon Saint of the Holy Dragon Cliff was killed by a spear in the head.
The Emperor of Light Rhodes was still alive, half-kneeling there with his hand on the spear, panting continuously, with a fierce look in his eyes.
The Holy Knight Fatis was near Rhodes, his sword and armor were broken, and his body was covered in blood. At this moment, he was trying his best to regulate his breath.
The Flame Holy Dragon Wilkarian stood opposite the Giant Horned Rat God, and was also seriously injured.
The legendary archmage Lazar and the Holy Empire Pope Prinske were nowhere to be found, and their lives and deaths were unknown.
“How could this happen?”
A silver dragon commander of the Dragon Legion exclaimed in fear. No one expected that this expedition to another world would result in the death of the two holy dragons of the Holy Dragon Cliff.
Normally, this is difficult to do. The dragon race is a naturally powerful race. Not only is it strong among its peers, but its survivability is also top-notch among its peers. Therefore, even if some life forms of the same level go out for adventures, the ones who survive in the end are often dragons.
This sentence made Rhodes’ five fingers tighten his grip on the iron-ridged steel gun in his hand, and Fatis beside him opened his eyes.
The green flame in the giant horned rat god’s hand became more and more blazing.
“We were hit by the illusion spell of the great elder Kraken, and we killed each other. In the end, although we got rid of the illusion under the protection of Lord Dragon Saint, Lord Dragon Saint still died with the enemy. Before Lord Dragon Saint died, he handed over all our corpses except the dragon crystal to His Majesty the Emperor of Light Rod Hart, and signed a dragon clan covenant with His Majesty, willing to provide 20 places every hundred years in the future to train holy dragon knights with specific potential for the Empire of Light.”
When he said this, Flame Holy Dragon Vilkarian paused, looked into Rod’s eyes, and then continued to speak:
“Is there anything wrong with what I repeated, Your Majesty?”
“…”
Seeing that Rod did not refute, Vilkarian stood up shakily, then walked to the body of Dark Holy Dragon Link, and hugged his brother and his lover into his arms.
“In the name of the Holy Dragon, after taking our dragon crystal, the Dragon Legion will immediately retreat to the Holy Dragon Cliff. Those who violate this will be charged with treason.”
“I’m sorry, Link, I failed to protect you, I’m sorry…”
“Wait, Master Vilkarian”
Before the silver dragon commander of the Dragon Legion could continue to say anything, Vilkarian had already pulled out a rune-covered mithril dagger and stabbed it into her chest.
She knew that if she, who knew the truth, did not die, Rhodes and the Horned Rat God would never be at ease. Although the Dragon Legion had arrived, Link and the Supreme Dragon Saint were dead. Although the two hundred legendary dragons were strong, without the cooperation of the Saint-level strongmen of their own tribe, even if they could be forced to retreat in a short time, they would definitely not be able to kill the Emperor of Light who also showed amazing combat power. After thinking about it, Vilkarian could only choose this path now.
Not only did it save the Holy Dragon Cliff, which had already lost the Supreme Dragon Saint and the first genius of the younger generation, from having another great enemy, it could even find a backer for the Holy Dragon Cliff. Even if it was for the quota of 20 dragon knights every 100 years, Rhode had no reason not to protect the Holy Dragon Cliff.
“What a pity.”
“Yes, what a pity.”
Because of the order given by Vilkarian before his death, the Dragon Legion, under the suppression of the silver dragon commander, finally retreated again through the space tunnel.
Vilkarian’s last operation, although aggrieved, had a pattern, and it forcibly suppressed the disaster that was almost likely to exterminate the clan, and even created a future prospect for the Holy Dragon Cliff.
And Rhode also took out the origin gem obtained from the dead Supreme Dragon Saint. It still spread a magnificent and beautiful brilliance, and the moment he touched it, Rhode already understood its function and why the Supreme Dragon Saint was willing to fight for it.
This is a life-type origin gem. Those who obtain it can use their physical body to evolve, recover from injuries, and increase their skills, and the effects decrease in sequence.
For the Supreme Dragon Saint and even the Dark Wolf God, this life-like origin gem is the best medicine to treat them. After refining it, not to mention directly recovering his strength at the peak of the past, it is not a problem to recover most of it.
But it is precisely because of this that the Supreme Dragon Saint really cares too much about this gem, and subconsciously thinks that everyone will grab it at all costs.
In fact, if the Supreme Dragon Saint throws this origin gem to the Giant Horned Rat God, or even Lazar and Prince, and then directly gives appropriate compensation, these saints who do not pay much attention to physical strength are likely to accept it. At that time, Rhodes will really have no way out, even if he clearly knows that this gem can greatly enhance his innate ancient god body and is very suitable for himself.
“So, sometimes being too domineering is not a good thing.”
Thinking of this, Rhode directly handed the Origin Gem in his hand to the Giant Horned Rat God, letting him touch it. The Giant Horned Rat God also knew what similar functions it had as soon as he touched it. It was also very good for repairing its damaged body and strengthening its physical strength. However, the Giant Horned Rat God still valued its sacrificial value more. After all, the Skaven Demon Rat World was far inferior to the Origin World of Rhode and others, and was even on the verge of complete collapse.
Sacrificing the Origin Gem to the world would also gain the favor of the world and increase its strength, killing two birds with one stone. Relatively speaking, the Giant Horned Rat God did not want to refine it himself.
“Giant Horn, let’s make a deal. The corpse of this black dragon belongs to you, and you can sell me your share of the origin gemstone. With the connection between our worlds, the Skaven Demon Rat World will not fall into a complete collapse in a short time.”
Rod said this, which made the Giant Horned Rat God slightly stunned.
Even without the dragon crystal, the corpse of the sixth-level holy dragon is also valuable. The Giant Horned Rat God will devour and refine it, and the benefits obtained will not be worse than refining the origin gemstone. If the means are clever, it can even be like the mother and daughter of Bright Moon City, and obtain some non-hereditary dragon characteristics, greatly increasing combat power.
“If it’s just the corpse of the black dragon, I seem to be at a loss. If it’s the corpse of the old dragon, I agree.”
“Impossible, at most, I will give you another ancestor ghost. If you agree, agree. If you don’t agree, you can take your share.”
“Okay, deal, Rod, I’ll do you a favor.” The Giant Horned Rat God said with a turn of his eyes.
“Stop joking. Transactions are transactions and favors are favors. You did make a lot of mistakes in this battle. How can you say that I owe you a favor?”
