- We are almost there. We should be able to see the port as soon as we cross this mountain range.
The mountains had been becoming smaller as the group headed to the sea, so, by the time they were almost there, Yrwin let all know about their positions.
- What the hell…
As for what he saw next, he couldn’t exactly understand it. It seemed like his imperial fleet was bombing the town.
- Shit, is this a Main Quest? The Civil War must have started as soon as you left the capital! We should dive into the fleet and make ourselves known! - Max suggested.
- That’s what I had in mind. - Raphael took a fancy sword from his hip, and then pointed it upwards. From the tip of the sword, a ray of light shot to the sky whilst an oppressive imperial aura drowned all in a fifteen kilometers radius.
However, what happened next shocked everyone. Not only the military armada, but the towns’ mage towers also begun shooting at them!
Rays of powerful siege and anti-siege magic and artillery bombed the skies, killing five dragons in a fell swoop.
Stolen from Royal Road, this story should be reported if encountered on Amazon.
Cries of pain issued as the NPC dragons, the dragon knights and also the players on top of those dragons dropped in the skies.
Everyone was stunned. It took Yrwin around five seconds to regain a sense of reality, but, by then, two of the players had been hit by artillery shells, while one of them had managed to cast a “fly” spell, one was free-falling and the other one to use a scroll.
Two people just died. One other was in its way to death.
- SHIT, DIVE! - Raphael and Lilian were both on the group of people who could not react in time, but both Max and a Human Warrior player ordered the dragon knights to dive down while also activating defensive scrolls and skills.
Still, it was of no use. Right as Max’s hand was a few millimeters from the shocked free-falling player, he saw him being bitten to death by the Human Warrior players’ dragon.
Max was shocked silly, as both the Human Warrior and his dragon knight were tossed in the sky by the dragon and then eaten whole.
- TELEPORT! - At that time, Lillian made a move, teleporting herself, Yrwin and Raphael away from the dragons and into the ground.
As for Max, his eyes became bloodshot as he activated the “Warriors’ Rage” skill from the Berserker skill tree. With a powerful swing of a double handed axe, he then cut the head of the incoming dragon, as well as the ones of the dragon knight and dragon which were previously carrying him.
Despite his rage, he could clearly see the eery, weird glow on his dragon knights’ NPC eyes.
- What the hell is this…
