Evolving Silver Dragon

Chapter 277: 275 Attacking Yellow Sand City_1

Translator: 549690339

To attack Nolan Forest, the first obstacle to be removed was Yellow Sand City.

The city-state was situated right along the main route from the Dragon Bone Wasteland to Nolan Forest, guarded by an astonishing number of monsters.

No one expected these brutal monsters to allow the joint forces of the Dore and the Undead to pass through easily, and Riley was no exception.

So, let’s begin by leveling this pitiful low-rise city-state!

With such a thought in mind, Riley and Black Knight Landry led an imposing army to the foot of Yellow Sand City.

But upon arriving at their destination, Riley was dumbfounded.

According to the intelligence, Yellow Sand City was only supposed to have a low wall built of yellow sandy soil.

But what stood before them now was a towering, sturdy yellow stone wall—by no means a short-term construction.

Could the intelligence be wrong?

Riley frowned tightly. No matter what, there was no turning back at this point.

Upon her command, some war machines brought from the Dark Domain were pushed forward.

There were catapults from the Dark Dwarves and blade throwers from the Dore. The Black Knights also had a batch of undead pushing many meat wagons capable of spreading plague.

War had begun!

Countless undead and all sorts of monsters from the Dark Domain laboriously pushed the various war machines forward.

Before they advanced much further, however, Chimeras flew above them, dropping one strange iron ball after another.

Riley, who was in the rear, appeared unfazed and merely chuckled to Landry beside her: “It seems their way of combat is quite primitive. They’re probably just relying on that troublesome city wall.”

But the Black Knight didn’t respond. He was focused intently on the battlefield.

And on the city wall of Yellow Sand City, he saw a familiar face.

It was that goblin, Gaz. This time, he swore to kill this strange goblin and wash away his own shame.

Riley didn’t care about the Black Knight’s indifference towards her. She just glanced at him and muttered to herself how the undead simply didn’t understand romance.

The Death Lord was like this too, as was the Black Knight. They treated her as if she were merely air.

In her city-state, she was a top-tier beauty with many male admirers to choose from. She didn’t need to bother with this black-armored knight.

She believed that she would soon achieve the will of her Goddess

Just as Riley thought this, an unexpected situation arose.

A series of deafening noises came from the forefront; even the ground beneath her feet trembled continuously, nearly causing her to lose her balance.

What was happening?

Startled, Riley looked ahead and saw, with sheer horror, that the catapults and fighters nearby had all been blown to pieces by the explosions.

As her eyes grew dull and numb, a disembodied skull fell right before her.

This skeleton soldier, clearly a low-ranking one, wasn’t completely killed despite losing its head and body.

Its eye sockets flickered with faint undead flames, and its jawbone opened and closed incessantly, as if to mock Riley.

“What the hell is going on!”

Enraged, Riley crushed the skull at her feet and furiously interrogated her guards.

But her guards had also failed to see what had just happened. They stuttered for a long time but said nothing in the end.

Annoyed, Riley murmured a curse and a surge of eerie flames burst from her guard’s body.

Subsequently, the guard was quickly burned to ashes amidst his wails, and the surrounding guards, upon seeing this, instantly bowed their heads, pretending they saw nothing.

Once she was done, Riley stared viciously at the ashes on the ground, which somehow made her feel a little better.

The Black Knight had been watching this coldly from the side. When Riley’s expression finally returned to normal, he spoke icily: “It’s those black iron balls. Perhaps they managed to imprint explosion spells within, causing such intense blasts.

And tossing them from the Chimeras above is simple and practical.”

“I don’t want to hear you praise our opponent!”

Looking at Riley’s angered expression, the Black Knight shook his head. Then, a flock of flying Gargoyles and Skeleton Griffins soared into the air swiftly.

Simultaneously, he sent out a large number of Undead to push the meat wagons slowly forward.

This time, Riley did not send out her own subordinates to cooperate with the undead attack. Instead, she decided to let these worthless undead clear the way for her.

With the protection of many flying units, the Chimeras could not throw their black iron balls as freely as they did before, much to the relief of the Undead below.

After paying a price, they had advanced quite a distance and believed that before long, they would be within the meat wagons’ striking range.

The Undead’s meat wagons were similar to catapults, with their ammunition being corpses that couldn’t turn into the undead, or rotting zombie bodies.

No matter what form their projectiles took, they all carried a horrifying, infectious plague—biological warfare that was difficult for most creatures to resist.

Just as Riley was about to see some results from the Undead’s efforts, the explosions erupted again.

This time, however, the source was not from above, but below.

Riley couldn’t believe her eyes. As the dust settled, the undead and meat wagons that had previously been in position were now reduced to fragments scattered everywhere and mostly buried in deep pits.

“Indeed, you’re not an easy opponent to deal with  ”

With his eyes fixed on Gaz atop the city wall, Black Knight’s fighting spirit surged.

Meanwhile, Gaz gently touched his recently healed wound and gazed intensely at the Undead below.

Attacks by top-level undead creatures like the Black Knight were typically accompanied by a fierce undead toxin. Gaz had been affected by it before.

Had it not been for his improved physique after becoming a Dragonborn Goblin and Saru’s assistance, alongside some mysterious white-robed spellcasters, he might have been bedridden.

Speaking of Saru, Gaz gazed at an open space within the city with a puzzled expression.

Saru was sitting there with those strange white-robed spellcasters in a circle, a small Silver Dragon statue placed in the center of the crowd.

And they, one and all, were ceaselessly praying to the small statue.
