Dragon King's Harem Chapter 186. The War Has Begun VI

Meanwhile, in the front row, General Dravis was still busy withdrawing his troops and helping his wounded soldiers as much as he could. Since he had to restrain the dragons from following them to the camp, he had no other choice but to sacrifice the giant beasts. Occasionally he also used his Earth Wall to protect his troops.

- Gaaahhh! - BOOM!

The last giant's scream echoed as its body fell to the ground. The ground shook violently. Its blood soaked it.

The dragons, in their true form, bit the poor giants mercilessly tearing their tough skin with their claws and teeth or burning them with their fire even though all the beasts could do was writhe in pain.

"Go! Go! Go!” said General Dravis who was also in his true form between the explosions, waving his hand to order his soldiers to retreat faster. It was the last squad that could be saved.

In contrast to his humanoid form, his body was about 10 meters tall with large, well-defined muscles. His 'human' head was replaced by a bull's head. Likewise with his pair of legs. His hands gripped his weapon which had also grown as big as his body, ready to blow away the enemy that approached him. He purposely made himself the dragon's target to save his soldiers' lives.

Upon the general's order, the Minotaurs ran with all their might from the hellish battlefield. The holes were everywhere and the flames turned the place into hell. The dust and smoke that tried to blind their sight didn't stop their steps. The temperature was getting hotter. The Minotaurs' bodies were scattered everywhere, while the dragon's casualties were very few. That showed how unbalanced this battle was.

Unfortunately, the dragons didn't want to let them go. Those flying creatures chased the Minotaur and spat out their flame, killing as many as they could.

Feeling the dragons had gotten too close to their camp, the general swung his weapon at the ground and used his skill.

'Earth Wall!'

In a second, a line of gigantic walls is formed. It was almost as tall as a giant, showing how high-level the caster was.

But that could only block the dragons in their humanoid form. Not in their true form. So they simply turned to their true form.

The General realized it and used the skill again.

He swung his weapon at the wall with all his might, smashing it to pieces before using his Stone Control to throw it at the dragons. He was sweating profusely as he gritted his teeth. It was indeed using a lot of Mana but it was worth it.

Some stones managed to hit the dragons, giving them fatal wounds. Some immediately fell since it hit their heads. Some helped their friends and others decided to retreat since they were too far from the fortress.

Seeing the dragons starting to return to their territory, General Dravis turned and backed away breathlessly, following the others. He also turned himself to his humanoid form so he could escape more quickly. He was the one on the front lines when the Minotaur arrived and withdrew the last.

But as he was just leaving, a Magic Messenger came to him.

He stopped in his tracks when the Magic Messenger jumped at him. When he received the king's message, he was stunned in shock.

“Xinrax you are crazy…” he muttered, didn't even bother to call him His Majesty anymore. He even couldn't believe it was his own brother.

Slowly, he turned his head back and looked at the fiery battlefield once again. How the fire burned the ground, turning the soil and stones black. How the dragons were flying like a mass of huge black clouds and their soar filled the sky.

He and his army had just retreated with great difficulty, yet the king ordered them to return to that place without giving them a chance to think about how they could face the dragons or reorganize the battle formation and strategy. More than that, the king ordered him to take over that fortress within one day! That was impossible! They couldn't even get close to it and the tunnel plan ended up in a mess. It had cost most of his elite soldiers' lives!

Amid his disbelief, a messenger came to him.

“General,” the messenger said breathlessly.

Dravis turned to the messenger and immediately realized what he was about to say from his sad expression.

"What did the king say?" Dravis asked without further ado. He had already prepared his heart for the worst.

“The king ordered us to continue attacking the Firestone Fortress. You have to take it today. He also said the one on that fortress is just a fake dragon king. The dragon is using him to scare us because they have other plans,” the messenger didn't hesitate to say everything Xinrax said at the camp.

That message ignited the general's emotions.

“Of course, I knew it was a fake! But even without that fake king, how can we win this battle?! We can't even get close!” he roared in anger. His hand pointed at the fortress.

It made the messenger curl in fear.

“I – I just conveyed the king's message…” said the messenger in a stammering voice.

The general realized what the messenger said was true. He shouldn't vent his anger on that innocent messenger. Slowly, Dravis lowered his hand and took a couple of deep breaths to calm himself.

“This is so fucked up. Xinrax will lead us to death…” Dravis muttered in frustration.

The messenger couldn't say anything but lowered his head since what Dravis said was right.

But then another soldier approached him in a hurry.

“General!” he shouted.

Dravis took a deep breath. From this soldier's panicked face, he could guess that he would get another bad news or another unreasonable order.

"What is it?" replied Dravis curtly.

The soldier stopped in front of him.

“The dragon king has kidnapped His Majesty!” he said breathlessly.

That report shocked Dravis.
