Chapter 723: Chapter 577: Pursuit
Despite walking away, his butt got kicked again. Gulelie’s face was pale green. His fellow council members were nervous, worried Gulelie might explode in anger and make them go back to fight again. However, after his facial expressions changed for a moment, he finally suppressed his anger.
"Go to hell!"
Gulelie cursed and turned to leave, without demanding to go back into battle. Only then did the councilors around him breathe a sigh of relief.
With the Double-headed Black Dragon gone, the troops at the Gentle Wind Plain immediately took the opportunity to rest.
All the dragons entered a resting state, and the Dragon Knights quickly ate, washed up and went to sleep. No one knew when the next attack would come, but as experienced warriors, they knew that if they didn’t get enough rest before the next attack, their fate could be a dead end.
The Dragon Knights rested while Long Yi and his legion could not. Everyone was busy tallying up the casualties. Even though Wesley had a rough estimate in the sky, Long Yi still wanted to hear the numbers.
The results came out in the early morning.
The casualty ratio between the two sides was close to one to one, but in absolute numbers, the side of the Double-headed Black Dragon seemed a little less.
"We basically lost." Long Yi sighed.
"Let me see?"
Ai Lin glanced at the report’s numbers.
"It’s much more than I expected." Ai Lin also sighed.
"Damn it, if I wasn’t worried about them using a big move later, I would have used all my power!" Long Yi frowned and slapped his thigh hard.
"Even if you did, they could just fly away. Let’s not be impulsive," said Ai Lin, patting Long Yi’s shoulder.
"I’m not impulsive, but we can’t afford this." Long Yi frowned.
"What do we do?"
What do we do?
This question weighed heavily on Long Yi’s mind. They must win this battle. They can’t delay any longer. The scoundrels on Dragon Island, relying on their ability to resurrect indefinitely, don’t care about any tactics or strategies. They intend to trade a life for a life.
In today’s battle, not many human Dragon Knights were lost. Each one was bound to a spell that would eject the cockpit before the Giant Dragon felt it was about to be killed. The Dragon Knights would land safely under the protection of the spell.
However, the Dragon Clan lost quite a bit today, and the souls of those lost Dragon Clan members couldn’t be reborn once they returned to Dragon Island and were imprisoned.
On one hand, the enemy keeps resurrecting, but on the other, their numbers are dwindling. If Long Yi said he wasn’t worried, he would be lying.
"What time is it now?"
"One in the morning."
"Good. At three in the morning, we set off on time!"
"Where are we going?"
"Night raid!"
Long Yi wasn’t planning on letting the Double-headed Black Dragons leave so easily after they had killed his men on his turf.
Dream on!
Meanwhile.
Dragon Island was incredibly quiet at night, despite the ongoing war. To most of the Dragon Clan, this was irrelevant. On Dragon Island, aside from some occasional flashes from the mountain where the Dragon Clan was resurrected, there were basically no other sounds.
At this moment, a council member was sneaking through the mountains and forests. He suppressed all his power to the limit, didn’t dare use any of his abilities and kept moving with just his physical body.
Eventually, he arrived at a small mountain. It was bare, there were no guards around, only a huge Array in the center.
This was where the entrance to the Dragon Clan’s Burial Ground was.
The councilor looked around and didn’t see anyone. He quietly placed a box on the Array, activated it, and its light flickered and disappeared in the night. The councilor was long gone.
The direction the councilor had gone was towards where the Dragon Clan was resurrected.
The Life Creation Center.
A row of giant symbols written in Giant language loomed over the enormous metal building.
Inside, every now and then, a roar could be heard, followed by the gigantic silhouette of a creature that was an anomaly among the Dragon Clan, even more powerful than the Double-headed Black Dragon!
The councilor emerged from the shadows and ran into a group of humans.
These humans were scientists from the Black Dragon Empire. Whether they had been brainwashed or had other reasons, they were the die-hard supporters of the Black Dragon Empire. After the Black Dragon Empire fell, they fled to other countries, but their loyalty to the Black Dragon Empire was unimaginable, as was their hatred for Long Yi!
Even in other countries, these scientists were planning every day how to kill Long Yi and restore the Black Dragon Empire. They even found some royalty members and planned to re-elect them as emperor. But those cunning members of the royal family were not as mad as the scientists. The current White Dragon Empire was simply too strong to be overthrown at will.
Even Yake Black, with so much help, failed in the past. How could a few mad scientists possibly succeed now? Moreover, the White Dragon Empire declared amnesty for all, disregarding any past actions. With such benefits, why bother?
